Take help, dude. Jesus. It would bring us views
but JD smoked from the what the gravity bomb
and lost his toes But anyways guys, let's roll
it back a little bit I know there's a lot of
people commenting this is what we like we love
bringing the local archery wrestlers in because
Everybody who's everybody jumps on and starts
commenting having a good time and it's nothing
but laughs and jokes, man It's fun to having
these guys on you. So but let's get down to the
nick of it right now. Let's ask JD where you
grew up where you're from and you know How you
got here man? Talk to us? I guess if we go back,
man, I was actually born in Edinburgh, Texas.
Really? I was born there. My family lived in
Mission at the time, I believe. But we didn't
stay there for too long because my dad was a
construction worker. So we moved around a lot,
just like from contract to contract. We moved
from Mission to Georgia for a little bit. I think
it was Savannah, Georgia. And then from there,
we moved to El Paso. And that's where I grew
up until I was about, I wanna say 13 or so. And
when I was in El Paso, my family, they've always
been fans of wrestling for as long as I can remember.
I remember one day I went into my dad's room
and I saw a plaque and there was a, it was some
bald dude with an earring on and it was like
316. I was like, hey, who's this bald dude from
the line? Stone Cold Steve Austin, my friend.
Hell yeah. Let me teach you a little one. Yeah,
for as long as I can remember, we've loved wrestling.
I remember, who was it? Who was it? My sister.
My sister was in dance class and her teacher
was Vicky Guerrero and really that was a whole
trip like wow Like famous or something, but like
okay. Hold on. Hold on man. I'm gonna stop you
right there Yeah, I'm gonna stop right there.
This is your sister saying this is my sister
taking dance class I didn't know everything but
I was what like four or five I should have where's
your sister right now my sister right now. She
is some Probably working at Roadhouse. I want
you to call her later on tonight and say, ooh,
it's going to smack the crap out of her. That
was probably the first experience that I had
with, I guess, seeing somebody from. the wrestling
universe in like regular day life. From there,
I never really went to indie shows or lucha shows
when I lived in El Paso. We went to a couple
WWE shows when they came down. I got to see Kofi
Kingston, John Cena. Everything else was kind
of a blur because back then it was like, I don't
know how to describe it. It was like you get
like being at a WWE show, you get like drunk
off the crowd and it's just. I remember screaming
a lot, getting lightheaded, and it was something
that I knew that I loved. And my brother loved
it, too, man. He used to beat the dog shit out
of me. He would just be like, don't move, and
then climb up on the roof and jump off, and we
had a trampoline. No. All the memories. Dude,
he would fucking miss and just launch me onto
the bricks on the floor. Oh, sure. And yeah,
it was a... That was when I knew I wanted to
do it. Really? You wanted to go into the wrestling
business? It's always something that like as
a kid or even as a young adult you see it and
it's like man I really want to do that and you
do moves like on your friends or on your siblings
or something like that. I remember we had family
friends back in El Paso. Shout out to Tere and
everyone there. We will go over to their house
and we would watch WWE like DVDs the specials
I remember we got the the TLC match when it was
the Hardee's edging Christian and the Dudley
boys and Any time that we went over there was
like the first thing that we played just like
tradition And then we get into whatever was going
on that weekend or that month, right? And that
went on until I want to say about 2014 ish at
that point my pops got an offer to move down
here to the valley yeah this is where our family
is so we took the offer right and um i've been
a valley kid since that's awesome man so that's
crazy that's crazy that that he says that you
know coming from el paso itself yeah i mean you
and right now when he said that he didn't really
like jot into my head you know el paso okay yeah
it's cool places all right right right and then
when he she when you brought up the vicki ghetto
like what if you look to your right if you look
to your right on that side right behind you she's
right there she's right there yeah right right
there right so i mean having that opportunity
you know that itself being from el paso having
the icons are now legends that are from that
there's so many of the guerrillas have been around
for years you know starting with dad himself
senior uh but Eddie going into W will first the
club and WCW then eventually WWE You know Knowing
that you're from that it's a terrible that that
that ground that ground itself. You're like damn,
dude You know this guy this guy grew up over
there. He actually got to meet or your sister
got to meet on sure you ever got to meet her
but That's the first time she came over that's
about right, but um To be part of that to be
there, you know, that's that's crazy, you know
That's awesome to actually be you know that had
it had to be a sign for one of y 'all to say
You know, I need to go into that business Yeah,
man, so up there enough we come to the valley
when you come into how old are you when you come
to the valley again? about 13, 13, 14. Okay.
And where'd you go to school here in here in
the artery? I went to Cathy middle school and
then from Cathy and I went to Memorial for a
little bit. Okay. And then I went to another
school. And then COVID happened and then I was
like, yeah, I'm just going to work. Right. Yeah.
It was, it was cool. But the last school that
I attended was the premier high school at FAR.
The Phoenix's, they're, they're, they're no longer
there. They moved, I think to Either what's the
goal or San Juan, but okay, then I met some good
people over there people that I still talk to
to this day And it's all love it's all love to
the teachers all up to the classmates except
for that one Yeah, no start well, you know here
you go I got some more I mean man you're getting
comments, right? I'm just I just lost art started
from here with a Let me see, Eddie, you got him
on here. You got Caballero already asking, Franco.
I got here from Frank the Tank here. I think
that's the one that's the most appropriate one.
JD got so drunk he once ran out of my closet
yelling, I'm back. I wasn't drunk. Are you kidding
me? It really happened. I really wasn't. A lot
of thongs. A lot of thongs in there. A lot of
thongs. And I shaved my head today to be just
like my brother. Oh, wow. He looks just like
you today, buddy. Just look just like you today.
And let me see, I got, what's this? Oh, I got
another one from Jose Martinez. And JD likes
hitting his dad. What a douche. What the hell?
With a douche nozzle? What the hell? Wow. Wow,
okay. Somebody's been holding that. I want to
know the info behind this deuce thing. No. No,
so right. So the years go by, COVID happens.
Everybody's in standby pretty much and sit still.
Where is it that you jumped into first to start
wrestling itself or training itself? I remember
for the longest time. I think it was in either,
yeah, it was 2019 that I went to a Wrestling
Revolution show for the first time. I had been
interested in going to see indie shows for a
while. Indie, Lucha, my brother had been educating
me on, like, there's a whole different scene
than just WWE or TNA or Benjamin. And I wanted
to dip my toes into it. Like, if it is a possibility
for me to one day get in the ring, I want to
see, like, what's going on in the local scene.
Right. I didn't know how to how to go about it
or how to get that information and for the longest
time I was looking he told me about a show Going
down at CNL, right? At the time I was working
at Chick -fil -a. I took my family It was me
my sister my dad my mom and we went to go see
it was a full night of steel cage matches Oh
shoot damn I want to say it was their second
one because apparently the first one Chris Austin
bled like leaders of blood and I don't remember
seeing that okay but the one that I went to the
main event and it um it ended with um I believe
Danny Chan's doing a moon sold off the top of
the steel cage and I remember just like looking
like I feel sorry for his wife sometimes man
Jesus damn it Danny that's nuts man that's nuts
that was the first time that I met That's the
first time that I met Dill Dempsey, I saw Terrell
Tempo, Pete Payne, I got a picture with him,
and he's like, in the picture he's flipping the
bird, but my mom's in the picture and she like
sensed it with the big thumb. It was the first
time I got to see a lot of people that nowadays,
you know, like, They're going other places. Pete
has his own promotion going on. Chance is my
trainer and now he's retired from in -ring action.
And like, I'm happy that I got to see that before
COVID happened. And that was like a big spark
for me. I was like, okay, that's really like,
there's a level scene happening. This is something
that's going on. I remember at that point, like
where your table is, I'm like a younger version
of JD, shorter hair, you know, more innocent.
I'm reaching out the ring like, one day I'll
be there. It was like, I was starstruck, man.
You had a Wayne's World moment? Oh, yes, she
will be mine. She will be mine. She will be mine.
I'm sorry, dude, to cut you short here, but I
got Franco saying, JD was the only Chick -fil
-A worker that wouldn't say my pleasure. It took
months after leaving that house to stop saying
it, man. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Ah, shit. And
then I got a, Maria Garaz says, I need that picture
to blow it up. Brian says, I heard JD likes to
eat beer. Okay, who doesn't? And oh, I got one
of your brothers here. The Wastelands are the
answer. All right, here you go. But, so. You're
going through you finally saying you're gonna
get there you go into do you actually go into
with Newbury School or do you go do you train
somewhere else first before you come in? I remember
I was getting ready to to go to wrestling revolution
and see if I can start training with them but
COVID happened right right everything shut down
yeah I remember hearing about that or that happened
a lot of stuff happened I wasn't in the best
mental place I started working as a laborer with
my pops and It's that whole summer I was saving
up and I was telling myself like I'm gonna move
to either Houston or Corpus somewhere up there
and get training and over there they charge like
And they charge for like a whole year of training,
right? So it was like it was gonna be a lot of
money So I had to save up and it felt like I
was headbutting a brick wall for the longest
time Then I got another job And my brother, basically,
we were sitting, we were talking, and I was like,
dude, I don't know if this is possible. And then
he looks at me, he's like, check this out. And
he showed me a new brief. So I saw it, and for
the longest time, I was just sitting on the message.
I wanted to text him, but I didn't know if I
had the money. I didn't know if I signed up,
if I could commit to it, or if I was going to
back out of it. If it is something that you get
into, going into it, it's a commitment. You're
either going to be with it or you're going to
be with it for a couple of months and then get
out. Right. Right. And I didn't want to be another
story of someone who went in and got right out.
So I want to make sure my brother basically looked
at me. He was like, no balls. And I was like,
all right, I got to do it now. Well, to be fair,
I mean, if you get your ass beat, it's a pretty
good sign. I shouldn't be doing it. No shit.
No shit. No shit. No shit. I'll show you none
that speaker that speaker. Oh my you're good.
You're good I got people answer right here is
I got it rouse like Jake St. Kilda's are taking
on RG one realm at a time I got Jose Martinez
saying the wasteman the wasteland smell like
broco 956 backyard Watch it bro. Watch it. He
goes I'm joking. I love that you better buddy.
You bet I know people Oh my god, he said what
he said shut up, dude, I'll show you wait since
I'll take you to Chew's house I would I think
rattlesnake and and morningstar would love to
conquer that This one's a big rattlesnake you
don't fuck with but uh, anyway, so you go you
do the training I go I remember The first day
that I went there I met Danny chance, right?
He was the one who texted me on the on the messenger
app and said yeah, dude come come in, I like,
I texted him all four and we're like, hi, my
name is so -and -so, and you know, I'd love to
see if you can train. And he was like, yeah,
for sure, bro, come on. And I was like, okay,
okay, we can be cool. I show up, he basically
gives me the rundown, like, we're not gonna charge
you and I'm in the leg, just show up, this is
our rate, and we'll teach you, we'll teach you
everything, man. And he told me he had experience,
he had people with experience, and it would be,
it wouldn't be just like some some throwaway
stuff like it's stuff that to this day i still
like like just how to fall back and protect your
noggin protect your neck yeah yeah yeah that
stuff comes in handy yeah along the way yeah
yeah yeah um i didn't train that first day but
i remember that um the next day i went in to
train and i remember seeing this dude in my mind
i had not been around um wrestling people so
i wasn't used to seeing people who were like
in crazy shape I walk in and I see this dude
built like freaking he man just chilling on a
chair and I'm like hi he's like hi and I like
go and sit down on the chair and I'm just like
rocking back and forth I'm like I don't I don't
know like what am I supposed to do now and he
gets up and it'll forever stay in my head dude
it was the first time that it like I ever got
in the ring he just looks he gets up looks at
me he's like you want to get in the ring it's
like yeah so we go to the ring start doing drills
a couple of the dudes are there Want to say Alberto
Vega was there Oh shoot, there you go He had
already been training I think for a week by the
time that I got there and another dude was there
dude with the crazy mullet and the dude who was
training us the guy who looked like Who I say
look like he meant was Chris Austin. Oh, okay.
All right. All right, and um, I remember that
first day I hit the ropes we did up and over
is just like drills and all that stuff and it
felt like One of the most natural things coming
to me like bouncing off the road was doing drills
locking up like just Locking up with someone
I was getting hyped because I like I'm actually
in the ring doing stuff and then I went to training
the next day I had freaking noodle arms my back
I could barely do any squats, and Chance was
there, and he was like, all right, let's see
what you can do. And I tried to do it up and
over, and I like faceplant on the top turn. I
remember Austin, he was like, come on, man, make
me look bad. Everything feels like jello, man.
Hold on. It was like that for a good while. I
got in just going as much as I could. I got in
pretty good shape. I used to skateboard a lot,
so I'm used to taking bumps. I wasn't afraid
to get into that side of things when it was time
to get into that side of things. And I won't
get too much into the training aspect, but I
want to say it took about a little over a...
either a little over a year or around a year
for me to actually get my debut. Right. That's
the next question I was going to ask. You know,
when you get your debut, you get you finally
get the green light. All right. Let's go, JD.
How are we doing this? What's your what's your
your gimmick? What's the music? What are we going
out as? And are we going face or going heel?
What are we doing? So in in in that first debut
at the time? Anyone who is debuting having their
first match in front of people they were going
to do it with Danny chance, right so At the time
I believe Sarge sergeant major was the the newbree
champion Ray nine and Danny chance were like
his his buddies, so They're out in the ring and
they cut a huge promo Sarge cuts a promo and
then he ends it to chance and chances like all
right, you know what? I'm scheduled to fight
somebody, you know, his name is Jonathan Douglas.
He's stupid. He's an idiot Just all of the above
right and I debuted as a baby face coming out.
I had my yellow tights black knee pads black
kick pads um Denim jacket. I was a young rock
and roller man. I was Came out to 96 quite bitter
beans. Shout out Tony Hawk underground Yeah,
I Genuinely believe that debut match against
chance is probably to this day one of my best
matches that I've ever had Oh really? Well, just
the shock factor of a new guy coming in a lot
of people from my work Okay. Well, so you had
a you had a These people in a crowd of like I
want to say around a hundred. Mm -hmm But these
are people who like they they've seen me be security
before right like that's most exposure that right
right right I come out and put on this match
with chance and there's like it really looks
like I'm about to win towards the end I didn't
win unfortunately, but afterwards chance put
me over on a promo and I remember I got like
a little standing ovation afterwards, or not
standing ovation, but you know, like everyone
was, yeah! And just being in the ring after a
match like that, like thinking like, oh, I could
have done this better, I could have done this
better. You know, I suck, I suck. You know, at
the end of the match, I'm very critical on myself
and all that stuff. And hearing the crowd not
booing me out of the building, but actually like,
like I... Just did something that got everyone's
adrenaline pumping right is something that put
on a really good show at least I would love to
believe that um And i'm looking at these people
I I know like three people over here and then
everyone on this side is strangers, right? They're
all chanting my name. That's awesome. That's
That's awesome, dude. I can't describe that feeling
it's It's like if you've been starving for a
week and then you finally get some like beautiful
freaking big video. Yes. It's like that time
my mom told me she loved me. And I believe her
this time. I really believe it. It was so beautiful.
And then I went back into the closet. We still
love you. Yeah, I can. I can totally understand
that, you know, how, you know, you're doing something
you like to do, you know, and at first you're
kind of shaky. You know, all right, let's let's
see where this goes. You invite. The good thing
is you have to support that show people showed
up to come watch your match. That's awesome.
You know, I'm pretty sure that lifted up eyebrows
from everybody else in the back. Oh, shoot. You
know, wow, there's there's there's a following
here. And for that to happen, I'm pretty sure
even the other people that were probably regulars,
you know, as you know, well, that train for him
and go, shoot, who is he? They want to get they
get more intrigued and get more dedicated to
it. Because, I mean, the first time I saw you
wrestle was the actual wrestling match where
you guys didn't have a ring at all. It was like
a street fight. And that one was was wicked.
Yeah, yeah That one I saw that and I was like
Jesus Christ and go out the the I'm not sure
who took the Someone took the shot with some
light bulbs. Oh my god. That was horrible. I
like Was it Oh, how does his name pop up all
of a sudden? Well, how do you know him? Jesus
Christ. Yeah, they got it. It's a very popular.
It's a very popular name, man. It's a very popular
name. He's very popular. Yeah. And I got people
see telling me I got Franco telling me that I
should invite Iggy Iggy to the podcast. And then
I got more people saying, oh, fun fact, JD stands
for Jumbo Dogs. Okay, and then I got Iggy for
president. I need to meet these Iggy I gotta
meet this guy. They go. Here we go. Toxical sucks.
I go Frank by the way, don't forget to make your
phone call at 8 o 'clock to Toxical His regular
phone call But uh, yeah is to to have that following
at a young start yeah That's awesome, bro. That's
awesome. Having that that good support behind
that strong support off on the right foot. Yeah,
exactly. Especially something like that. Exactly.
Yeah, I'm sure it felt like a huge boost. It
was it was it was crazy. Like seeing all these
people that I knew who knew me outside of wrestling.
Right. And I like to believe I'm like a real
like easy going guy. I don't really get like
wild up unless I start Right now, I'm JD. I'm
Jonathan. But when I started, I'm JD. It was
awesome because I remember managers at my job
the next day, at the time I was working at Roadhouse
and I was like rolling up utensils, playing back
the match and like watching it and trying to
like make sure, you know, like, oh, I can do
this better. I can do this better. It's like
analyzing the tape. And my manager came up and
he was like, No, dude, so I want to get straight
to the ingredient about this belt I know the
story behind the belt. Supposedly, it's supposed
to be a retired belt. That's what I heard. And
then Martin, a great kid when I interviewed him
the first time, great kid, good head and shoulders,
great episode, ends up getting the belt. I don't
know how, why, or what Danny was thinking to
get his kid the belt. So he's walking around
claiming that he's a champ. And I had said it
before, someone needs to shut this kid up, you
know, knock some sense into him. And here comes
JD and takes the belt away from him and go, all
right, cool. JD will finally put the belt aside.
So, you know, I'm done. We're going to retire
it. Then I see JD running around like, wait a
minute, hold on. What's going on here? Talk to
me, man. Talk to me. What's going on with this
belt, dude? In my mind, in my freaking mind of
mines. Martin puts this thing up for grabs in
a steel cage match with some of the best the
RGV has seen. You got me. You got Shawn Jones.
You got Mooncat Franco. You got Ray Knight. And
we're all in there with Martin. It's like, dude,
you really, like, what message are you trying
to get out, man? I'm not going to go in there
and let you leave with the same title. This thing
has prestige, man. Like, Wrestling Revolution
days. Cherry Ramones Chris Austin downtown Felix
people right right right and nowadays for a new
breed um Mooncat Franco John Jones toxic Oh before
Martin decided yeah, let me retire this You're
at my teeth and I said whatever happens in that
cage not gonna lose Taking this belt back and
I'm gonna bring it back to where it should be,
you know Before the new breed champion was the
new breed champion, right? It was the South Texas
Championship and this used to be the Big Shebang
and I'm going to as long as I have this every
match that I have with them gonna make sure that
That match could be seen as not just the South
Texas Championship match, but like the A Championship
match. And I feel like that's good competition,
especially knowing who the current Newbury champion
is, Kike Caballero. He's on a roll. It's so awesome
seeing him do his thing. But I will always support
the guys who are trainers. I will always give
love to them. However... I'm going to make you
work to keep that top match. Right spot. And
I love that. That is like a competition that
we can have. Not like, you know, like, oh, screw
you. I'm better. Right. Right. Right. Right.
I'm going to push you because I love seeing you
push yourself to get exactly and seeing you get
there. It's like, OK, now I need to bump it up.
Right. Right. Right. And that's not just that.
That's also goes for the grand warrior champion,
Daniel Ismael. It goes for the tag team champions,
the killer droids. Shout out to killer droids.
The wasteland is the answer. Yeah, a big applause
there for you, buddy. Go ahead. Yeah, I got you.
Yeah, nah. That's my goal with this championship.
I hope that my run is one to remember. And that's
why I take it everywhere I go. Got I got Frank
tossing you this kid. There's one question I
do I'm gonna cuz he's telling me right now cuz
you mentioned one name that he wants to mention
was downtown Felix don't mention his name and

I know you I think you have a little bit more
insight on what happened that night cuz that

Dude, I mean, yeah, it's a very mellow scene,
dude. I've been noticing last week I was hanging
out with the B -boy bros after we watched actually
wrestling. We're watching wrestling at the Wrestlepalooza.
And we decided to go out and have a couple of
drinks afterwards. And the nightlife in Mexico
is growing. It's getting bigger. I mean, and

so we're coming back. No, I'm going back to oh
He's I still got a bunch of bunch of people here,
right? See over what right? I write sins not
tragedies. Look looking haha. Okay. I don't understand
Yeah, he almost popped in the face I know right
Frank return choose phone calls, please but uh
We're gonna put a JD on the spot here. I'm gonna
put that camera right on him JD What is going
on bro after this weird? twist of events two
weeks ago at a new breed event we had Bobby Felix
no longer probably is now it's downtown Felix
Take a chair and smack the live -out -of -hill
out of Frank the tank in the ring after a tag
team match on purpose on purpose What? Give me
an insight before we go into the promotions of
that's coming up on the other side, other side
of the pond. What happened? I'll tell you my
point of view of what happened the week prior.
I had a triple threat match for my South Texas
championship and I lost that match. I'm not gonna
sit here and make excuses. I got I got laid out
knocked the air out of myself doing a coast to
coast and striker knocked out Martin but the
freaking gigantic GI Joe D &D dude forgot to
capitalize on that and the nerd somehow managed
to get one up on me man so I like the D &D preferences
awesome bro go on I got pretty pissed off to
got striker and you know in the in that moment
in time I realized that I've been doing things
with the smile on my face for quite a while you
know okay speak and maybe it was time for a change
maybe it was time to switch things up and the
best people that I could think of to switch things
up Were with the killjoys who were in the main
event in a tag -team match So I walk up to the
ring and Frank decides to drop the ball lose
focus on holding the ladder for big poppy at
the time and Tries to come and hug me I slingshot
him from the ropes, he hits the ladder, almost
concusses Big Papi, and the Killjoys walk out
victorious. Right. They get set up next week
to do similar. Frank blows it, and from what
I can see, Felix just had enough, man. And he
beat the dogshit out of los party pedals. And
it was a sight to see, because not only did he
decide to take it out on the party pedros, he
took it out on Dr. Plum, and he went and snatched
Toxical by his hair and brought him back out
from the curtain. I made sure I was on the other
side. That's crazy, but I'm not getting nowhere
near that, man. Right. It was a sight to see.
That was my perspective of what happened. From
what I could tell, Frank just dropped the ball
too many times, and Felix had enough. I don't
know where that whole thing is going, but I do
look forward to seeing the clash between downtown
Felix and Frank of the Tank Maravia. Yeah, that's
that's one for the books to that's coming up.
I got. Mr. Cortez watching three back productions
watching what's going on three back. Thanks for
coming watching with us guys. I appreciate you
guys man Like I'm pretty sure mandito told you
we have next year. It's gonna be all wrestling
So I'll be prepared to send us a couple of viewers
from your promotion now. We'd love to have him
on the show I got our Jake rattlesnake saying
here But JD proved his loyalty to the Westlands
And then he says, I thought you were coming out
to celebrate with us. Like when Keke won the
new breed championship. Even Keke didn't want
you there, dog. Why is Frank here? Wow. Wow.
I don't know, dude. I don't know. It was it was
an odd scene because if you go back and watch
the playbacks with what JD just explained about
Frank holding the ladder. for Bobby to go and
get the belts. It was there. It was one already.
They had it in the bag. But JD comes in and he
runs over to hug JD like I guess he thought it
was celebration. And that's when that went down.
That went down. And then after that, the following
week, Felix just said, boom. It's over. Oh guys
see now you heard his poor feelings dude. You
go geek it Great man, you're gonna make it flood
the valley again, dude. Come on guys Run yep,
and and yes, I see that three back to productions
coming to Browns of Conan coming to Brownsville
October 18th guys these are promotions I can't
wait to jump on because I know I know you're
working on a promotion right now and we're going
to step into that I know combat colt has one
coming up in a couple of days if I was taken
October 12th October 12th. All right Talk a little
bit about that. What's going on? Oh, I'll talk
about the one that I'm a part of. All right.
Because I don't I don't have all the information.
Go ahead. Go ahead. But a combat colt wrestling
till the casket drops three. There you go. It's
going to be me side by side by side with Brandon
Morningstar and Jake Bishop taking on Eric Shadows.
Oh, shit. I gotta go to this one, bro. I gotta
go to this one. We almost had a free preview
of that. Three years, four years ago, in the
studio, in our old studio, I had both of them
on the podcast and they almost got it on. But
we called it a neutral and it was a great pop
-ass. But go ahead, go on. For an anniversary
show, it's definitely gonna be something to see.
Combat Cold always delivers. I'm very happy that
I get to be side -by -side with the Killjoys.
And for whatever reason, Eric thinks that he
could take all of us on by himself. I've seen
him work before. I know Dude is a hard -hitter.
I know Dude is from a different era, different
realm. And me personally, I look forward to stepping
in the ring with him. But it's a little unfair.
But he wanted it, so. we're gonna give it some
and uh yeah interesting dude i don't know man
i feel like it's a mortal combat thing i don't
know what the hell i don't know what characters
select now but yeah so you have that match going
on what i mean what else what else do we know
any other matches that are coming up on top of
that um that's all that i know as of this very
second i feel like uh matches that Are gonna
happen. I feel we're gonna have a Shawn Jones
South Texas heavyweight championship title defense
an absolute championship defense from Brick Savage
I don't know who his next opponent is gonna be
so I really look forward to that this last show
He fought Chris Austin and also it was a mess
for the books man. That was a good one. Yeah,
um I'd love to see the free demons go at it.
I Yeah, I don't know if there's a If there's
a chance that Nikki Plago will be in town, okay
She'll be on your left hand side right there
on the wall right there Yep, there she is Yeah,
that's going down October 12th at the historic
scene array oh wow Free the date get your tickets
and get ready to see some crazy stuff Yeah, especially
in the senior rate man. The weird stuff does
go down up in there man. It's such a different
like I've wrestled there once I want to say and
it's like the the people who I train with My
friends and the people who I wouldn't consider
friends anymore. Um They they all told me like
once you you hit Cena you wrestle there under
the lights the crowd. It's it's a different Vibe
not not not the not the atmosphere per se but
like you you enter into a different gear when
you get there and I didn't know that I had only
heard stories about it until the day that I went
and I wrestled Teflon John for combat colt and
That was one of the the fastest paced matches
that I've had um And getting to wrestle a name
like Teflon John I've seen him wrestle before
for Fortuna I I went and studied the tape he's
been around and to to be in the ring with someone
like that at Sine El Rey was something that it
it changed the way that I feel like I I processed
how I want to do things because Don't know man
feeling that gear shift. It was it was something
and now it's like any time that I go out or I'm
gonna do something I I want to make sure that
like I can get to that mental space more like
get that feeling you like that little tingle
in the back of my spine Yeah, I did get stabbed
in the eye after that match though. So I don't
like this That's crazy man. I'm that's awesome.
I mean, I don't come back cold. I did a lot of
wrestling Here in the Cortez for a while when
it was down there was sweat it right? I know
when I was bringing you up here. You're like
dude. I remember this place I've been up here
before I've been on this floor. I changed in
that corner with Yeah, no kidding man talk about
availability now for the downstairs, I don't
know what's going on Places of it. There's a
bar available downstairs when anybody wants to
come and rent come on by get some information
open bar bring some wrestling back to West Oh,
man. I'm not to say anything about Senor Barber
was down the street. That's not wrong with that.
It's just that you know the the atmosphere at
a whole old hotel You know in the patio people
beating the crap out of each other kind of makes
brings a nice ring to it There's nothing like
the possibility of a grown man phone flying through
a window. Yeah, that would be totally awesome.
It's just that the court does kind of needs energy.
I can hear Danny change. I think I can do that.
Oh, my God. What are you doing? Got to jump right
through that window from the fourth floor. But
yeah, man, it's awesome that being a part. of
all these promotions. I mean, I know the one
right now we're talking about more is with combat.
I mean, do you feel the difference? I mean, I
know you have your new breed wrestlers. To me,
when I watch that, it reminds me of the old days
of WWF, when it used to be WWF with the Hulk
Hogan, the junkyard dog, the old school, the
old school, the other fun stuff. And I've been
to a combat call where it's just a little bit
more darker, you know, a little bit more intense,
more like a should I even say in an ECW style?
You know, I would say of anything like I would
compare a new breed to being. New breed is local
wrestling with. Family friendly like staple down
on front, right? That's what that is combat cold
you take the the family friendly staple off and
it's it's a whole it's more of an underground
feel and I love that I love both I I got my my
feet wet. I found out how to send my own two
feet wrestling for new breed I became the man
with the death wish there. Oh yes, I will go
through that window. I will go through that window.
And I got Jay Rousey, Jay said, yeah, in fact,
fun fact, fun fact, I like picking my finger.
Fun fact, I threw cacahuate out the window at
the Cortez. Yes, you did. Yeah, you know what?
They put a star on that one. That was one of
my favorite comments there. And then it goes,
I got a Jose Martinez saying combat cult is for
the freaks. It's true. And Eddie, I'm sorry,
buddy. You're having your your Grammy a winning
moment right now. Oscar winning moment right
now. Yes. Cry your eyes out. But it's true, man.
I mean, I've been to a combat cult wrestling
event. It's a little bit more. My son loved it.
Because I think the first match my son saw in
combat called it was with, if I'm mistaken, it
was with Johnny Bay. And I think he was fighting.
I want to say Blackheart. I want to say Blackheart
because I think at the time, this is a while
back. And I think Johnny Bay was whooping on
Blackheart on the corner. And my son was, you
know, kick his ass. My son was only like, what,
11, 12 years old. I'm like, wow. Yeah, but oh
yeah, he's anyone's gonna ask you about the near
-death experience I I've met boracho once I know
he's a very good friend to the bb -boy bros next
door, but I've met him once and I've seen him
wrestle man, and he uh I will say this right
now, full disclosure, I'm not saying this as
Jonathan Douglas, I'm saying this as JD. I absolutely
loved getting the opportunity to wrestle with
Boracho. I absolutely loved wrestling in that
venue. Now I'm saying this as a wrestler. It
was, I worked as a heel for that show. And San
Antonio loves to talk shit. And dear God, dude,
it was the greatest experience I've ever had.
We, we. How was this close to meeting Jesus?
I got stabbed in the noggin, stabbed in the ribs.
He like flipped me onto a trash can and the whole.
Oh my God. Go back and watch the match all the
way through. The crowd literally starts to fuck
yourself, chant. It was so beautiful. Are you
crying? I'm crying because all this is for me.
You like me. You really like me. I earned the,
I got the name, the Mount of Deathwish, wrestling
and a bare boards match with Danny Chance in
New Breed. And I would wear a shirt, it was a
skate brand, Deathwish. okay and um that i'll
put on that shirt whenever i needed to like okay
we're gonna do some crazy stuff your body's gonna
feel it just fucking go and that would be my
thing um so eventually i got the moniker um but
uh along the way uh i think what um two years
ago i uh either two no uh last year uh last year
october uh I suffered a neck injury. No shooting
and those are scary. Yeah, I was already scary.
It was it was I remember landing on the top of
my head and I thought Everything right here just
pop. Oh my god I was out for a little bit and
then immediately after we had to do like a Dive
out something else. Okay, somehow managed to
fucking do it and then I was like, okay, I was
not ready to catch anybody. Someone jumped out
and landed straight on my head again, and then
it popped this way. Oh, Jesus. I remember I was
on the floor. Death wish, man. Death wish. It
was granted, man. Oh, my God. I remember I was
on the floor, and I was gone. I was not in that
match anymore. I was just, I was there, and I
remember I tried to grab, I tried to grab somebody,
and I was like. You're having basically a BJ
moment you can go back and watch that match.
It was a hardcore horror ladder match for last
year. I went nowhere near the fucking ladder.
Nah, not for me. At one point, Delta, Christopher
Delta was in the match. He was dressed up like
Waluigi. And he put me in like a chokehold and
like dragged me away from the ring. I think I
got it out to him. I was like concussion concussion.
He was like The closest thing that I got to actually
communicate you someone was like, hey, I'm fucked
up and then um, I get to the back fucking stumbled
in Jesus I remember I was like, yeah, no, I think
I'm fucked up. And I remember someone was like,
yeah, just throw some dirt on it I woke up the
next day and I couldn't even, I couldn't barely
move, dude. Did you bring your duct tape? Anybody
got duct tape back here? Someone come look at
this. Did you look at this? Wow. I went and got
checked out because not being able to move is
fucking scary. Around an MRI, the doc checked
me out. It was these two tendons right here.
Oh my god for like a crazy sprain and if they
had foreign then I don't know what it is, but
it's not the one that connects the neck to this
one But the one like right above it, right that
one would have talking just gone, dude The doc
told me I was really close to breaking it and
that I I had to think I Had a steel cage match
the following week Is there any chance I could
make it for this weekend? And he looked at me
and he was like, if you want to die. Really?
I told Chance about it. I was like, hey, my neck's
messed up. I'm going to take some time off. And
he was like, OK, man. And I didn't communicate
that it was as messed up as it was. So eventually,
I make a Facebook post. Cause my family's like,
you know, you really got to let everyone know.
Like you're. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I do a whole thing. Hey, suffered a neck injury.
Like, you know, severe. Yeah. We're gonna take
some time off. Yeah. Everyone said to me, they're
like, holy shit. We did not think it was that
bad. Me neither. I'm good. To the doctor's advice.
Jesus. They were kicking the hell out of me.
You could see it, man. I slowed down a lot. I
stopped doing as much crazy stuff. And the match
with Viracho, I feel like, was me earning the
right to have that moniker again. And we didn't
go as crazy. We did have time constraints. But
I got the chance to step in the ring with a guy
who was competed in a deathmatch tournament.
I got the chance to get a whole room full of
just angry underground people. yelling go fuck
yourself and it was one of the best experiences
that I've ever had man and I can't wait until
the next time that I get to share no ring with
him I can't wait till the next time that I get
to go to San Antonio and do some stuff like that
and I earn I feel like I still have to earn the
right to have that name because there are a lot
of people who do a lot more crazier shit than
me right so right now I am Jonathan Douglas and
I'm I'ma go hard, man. That's my promise to myself.
That's my promise to the people who keep track
with me. And yeah, fuck you, Frank. There you
go. After Frank puts something nice for you,
