What's going on guys, um, if you're wondering
what the hell is he doing? Talking to us through
his vehicle. They're doing the podcast there.
No Unfortunately, we had a lot of hiccups on
this episode for someone. I apologize to three
bat productions Great interview man great interview,
but Murphy's law what can go wrong can go really
wrong The first five minutes of the podcast or
six minutes of the podcast are mics weren't working
and by the grace of God with the great fans that
we have let us know that the sound wasn't working
we fixed the issue on top of that probably about
20 maybe 32 minutes into the podcast the power
goes out so we had to have a quick pause in between
the whole episode so like I said we actually
recapped everything back we were able to go back
live again any of you are listening to this or
watching this video. Once again, I do apologize
to 3Pap Production, also to our fans. I appreciate
you putting up with our mistakes, but that's
what happens with a live show, guys. It could
be good, it could be bad. It all depends how
the podcast gods are with us that night. But
I hope you enjoy the show. Thank you so much
for subscribing, following, and sharing. And
let's get the show started. Live from the historic
of Villa Cortez and straight -up Grey Skull Studio
Welcome to the podcast where the mics stay hot
and those stories stay real Broadcasting from
the RGB and across the globe. We're sitting down
with wrestler graders and underground talent
making noise their way This is the Chu Pedu Podcast.
Let's get into it Everybody remembers what happened
in 2008, right? The economy collapsed. Right,
right, right. A lot of major retail boxes were
closing down. We were managing a national shopping
center in Brownstone, anchored by Circuit City,
right? Everybody remembers that red, what is
it, it was like a red club entering way there.
Right. And there were... anchoring Bed Bath &
Beyond, Party City Men's Warehouse, and Shoe
Carnival. Brownsville was growing to the north
side in 2008. We had the opportunity to play
party in that development. Driving back from
Bastrop, Texas, we were going to duplicate this
plaza over there. I got it. And in 2008, driving
back, my friend Richard Hope, we hear on the
radio that... Circuit City was closing stores
nationwide 2000. Oh, shoot. Yeah, I remember
a circus emails across the street from us since
Best Buy All right, so we we had We knew that
was the end Sure enough just months later Everybody
knows that once you use the anchor to a national
retail, the rest of the boxes go already free.
Until you replace the anchor. We have 38 ,000
square feet of prime development with the economy
upside down. Nobody was gonna rent it. It was
gonna get foreclosed. We knew that was coming.
So I had an extra month of that building, empty
building. And I didn't know what to do with it.
Oh, shoot. And my kids were going there and riding
the bike in the AC, had the lights on. We didn't
know what to do. I would sit there. I bet you
they had the time of their life, man. I hope
it's nice. I would just sit there and just wonder
what I was going to do. Right. And it looked
great. Go ahead. Better known as a stone. I don't
know you guys My uncle right he had been doing
wrestling events in Brownsville Down military
highway not in a Mexico for many years, right?
He was he was he wasn't a fan He was a fanatic
If he jumped in the ring and And if he will participate
with the rest, he was the happiest man. That's
awesome. That's awesome. I reached out to him.
Right. And I said, I feel I'm in the hole. You
know, I have this building and I want to do a
wrestling event. Right. And I have been involved
in pro baseball with the Texas Louisiana E's
in many levels. Right. So I knew about advertisement,
promotions, warranties. Right. Right. you know,
that was his, that was his, his, his, his count,
right? His waza. And, uh, he had been doing small
shows, you know, throughout the years. So I reached
out to him and I said, uh, I remember meeting
Blue Demo one time, you know, and, uh, many years
ago. And you think you'll answer my call if I
ask you to come down here, you know? I want something
lovely, you know, let's call him off. And, uh,
so he did. We had our budget to do that first
event was a number less than one. Okay. We're
broke, broke, broke. I got you, I got you. Broke.
Okay. And we're losing everything. I mean, we
were on the bottom. And so, blew that one. And
I don't want to be a great wrestler, I'm just
a great man. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right.
Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right.
Right. Right. Right. Right. So he gave us a cost
for his card. And he says, but the only problem
is who am I gonna go up against? That's a problem.
It's not gonna be me. It's not gonna be me. It
might have to be. It might have to be. I read
the risk that it could have been me. But in Brasso
there was this wrestler, Golden King. A big name
in Brownsville. A great guy. Just a great guy.
He's all heart. Very passionate. His son, actually,
Golden King's son, is one of our biggest fans
of today. He was a great, great kid. And I said,
hey man, how would you like to come in and wrestle
against Lou Lemmon? Holy crap He says yes, so
you know a match up that we just developed just
You know what the cost is gonna be this much
I know you guys don't have the money you guys
don't have the budget and so just pray that that
you sell tickets right right and then the first
money that comes in pay us off and then the rest
is yours right right well the minute we hung
up i went to work and started printing out tickets
and and flyers and i'm walking the streets and
i'm just passing them out everywhere right couldn't
sell a ticket no just it was not worth the hustle
yeah the hustle And that morning when we started
setting up the chairs and putting everything
together, people just started lining up. A true
act of God for real. People just started lining
up. And if you guys know that shopping center,
there's a hotel that sits way in the back right
like like 10 acres behind right so far and people
just started hanging up passing Bed Bath & Beyond
and Party City and it just went endless right
i was like what's going on man you know real
fans right they just came out of nowhere and
i started selling tickets like during project
and just selling tickets selling tickets selling
tickets got everybody in i was able to to satisfy
the Yeah, yeah A little bit of joy, a little
bit of entertainment, right? Affordable, okay?
If you see a big name, let's do it. That's nuts,
man. That's nuts. When the people came in, I
realized that this was something to say. He didn't
have to say it. Right, right. Right? And so...
And what year is this again? 2008. 2008, okay,
okay. Late 2008, late 2009. Hollow Mania came
out of that. Okay. It wasn't even called 3 Back
yet. Okay My passion was baseball to make that
happen, luckily, right? And I had just great
support from Brownsville. They really showed
great heart and spirit with us. And after that,
that's when 3BAT started. Was born. Was born.
There you go. So in October of 2009, by then,
I had already lost. Right. Right, right. And
so we moved into the Jacob Brown Auditorium.
Okay. It's at the University. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.
And we celebrated Holomania there. All right.
In 2009, Holomania 1. Mm -hmm. And then Santo
came to do Holomania 1. Holy moly, people. Right?
So now I have Blue Demon. Jesus. I have Blue
Demon. You got the tag team Brownsville. Tag
team Brownsville right there, bro. Right, Blue
Demon started Brownsville, right? And then Santo
started in Holomania with three back, right?
Jesus. Jesus. To me to me honestly to me when
you when you're telling that story it pretty
much seems like I have no idea who Santo was
in person, right? I don't see him on TV. Always
in movies. And I have to go and pick him up.
Fun story real quick. I have to pick him up at
the airport, right? And I drive to Arlington.
I park the car and I get off. I'm looking for
him, right? I don't know what he looks like,
right? I'm looking for him. I'm thinking this
guy is sitting down with the cape and the mask.
I'm looking for somebody being 6 '3", 6 '4",
240, you know. Big son of a gun. Yeah, I got
you. just sitting down in a nice suit, right?
And he sees me that, you know, I was just walking
by several times and they can just stop. There's
someone. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, There's only a few Only a few selected to
see that And they told me, hey, man, you better
not call him. Because he always stayed at the
hotel right there, right next to the mall. OK,
right, right, right. So I'm like, OK, I parked
right there. And I'm like, hey, man, same thing.
I expected, you know. And I walk in, and I'm
like, OK, the only way I'm going to recognize
this guy is because of his mask. Because of his
mask. I always wore the open one. And I'm like,
hey, Lola, say, Lola, say. I'm like, OK. I'm
like, this guy just. Wow He's a small -frame
man, right But when he puts that mask on right
is greater than I do. Yeah Yeah, when he walks
out and gets in the room Okay, his presence,
right? Yes, it's uh, it's And so when the battle
that started that started everything right Dude
three bad just two running. Wow, man Blue demo
and then santo, right? So then holomania 2 comes
around remember holomania was just once a year,
right? Right, we had to wait a whole year for
the next show, right? Right. And so holomania
2 comes in right and then we'll say i'm going
back Right, so holomania 2 comes in and demo
comes back right and now is now the person right
now they want just like hitting the hand so that's
awesome bro yeah so um he just started growing
growing growing so i have a conversation with
them and uh about this right right he started
me and then but santo starts three back right
but then one started my wrestling career right
right and so i told him Oh, oh my god He said,
ah, man, there's been very, very few times that
we matched each other. Even tag team. It's very
rare. But I didn't want tag team. I wanted one
and one. And so I wanted something that was almost
impossible. And then I wanted it in Brownsville.
Ah, dude, that would have been nuts. It doesn't
even happen in Mexico City, right? It's only
happened, I think, twice or one time. But in
the States. In the States, never. Right? And
then here's this guy, three bad, you know, fairly
new in the sport. Right. That one looks at me,
he's like, look, man, I'm all for it. Shoot my
hand. He goes, dude. But if you can make it happen,
if you can convince him. right i'm in bro bro
lord of the rings moment right there all right
so that's nuts dude this was holomania too okay
and that happened in holomania five when we finally
agreed right you do santo blue ammo one watch
right it was the biggest greatest thing that
ever happened Okay Yeah, that night was just
fan he wouldn't miss it for the world he would
see Rowan right there just watching the show
right yeah and uh he got to he got to enjoy that
event while I was still working right so Jorge
got to see it and uh after that night How can
I make it better for all these things, right?
How can you how can you make it better the only
name that I ever heard come out of your mouth
yet because you already got and some authority
you got through the only third person in the
map is Right, right okay he thought about it
you know for a couple of seconds right you know
and like it says really man yeah i'm in wow right
and and bringing bringing in um it was like three
back was really a different level of energy came
in you know this guy he uh he is a perfectionist
There you go there you go Next time we're going
to ring We didn't want to wait a full year, okay,
to do it again. And so Spring Break Brawl is
born. To celebrate in March. And then Sissy and
Summer fast in the summer. So now we were doing
continuous wrestling events throughout the year,
keeping our fans happy and our sponsors happy.
But that was adding more stress and more stress
and getting busier and busier. More money, more
problems, my man. Sometimes we don't do it for
the money. Right, no. We wouldn't be here. Yeah,
I hear you. It's entertainment. Yes. It's good
for the community. Yeah. Number one thing is
we need events in Brownsville. That's how we
started. That's how we started. That's the main
idea. The smiles that it brings to people. Yeah.
I mean, just you guys talking about that. 2008
we need we need we need months of podcasts so
we can tell you the whole story that's why we've
come to the decision that you and i said every
third week of the month we have three back production
you know sending us somebody from their from
their promotion to talk to us you know give us
the whole inside and stuff like that so yeah
and as the years as the years went by and our
fan base grew and our sponsorship We're running
out of time running, you know, the next event
was just coming in around the corner. And by
this and while they played a huge role, you know,
in keeping us together and doing a lot of the
legwork that he does. And so we just became a
group, you know, doing this. Right, right, right.
We're from believers that in order to grow, you
have to spread. Yep. You cannot do it by yourself.
You can try. And he's been done before, but he
applies a great level of stress, right? And so
having Jorge on board, having Valde on board,
right? He just took it to the next level. And
then this guy over here comes in and he steals
the show. We thought we were the show. All right,
man, that's that that's freaking awesome you
just just alone having you talk about the way
it started bro and to have that to get you going
bro that's that's nuts when i see them on and
uh it's like man takes me back right i have nothing
but respect and love for that man he's a true
true man you know and if he's watching you know
that's awesome bro that's awesome it's become
a family tradition to a lot of people There's
Dos Costuras is one of our wrestlers. I remember
him as a kid coming to buy tickets to our show.
He's a professional wrestler now. Checking off
with right right become great names. No and they'll
be knocking in our door Hey, just give me a chance
to yeah there. Yeah. Yeah. You have the stories
having a water Yeah, that's that's another big
one. That's another big one. Yeah, yeah He came
and knocked and offered his service one condition
put me in the match was very mysterious We've
been trying to bring him for several years right
right one reason or the other we couldn't We
took off yeah Now George take us through the
story when he comes up to you and as you hey,
I got this idea Before and this wouldn't three
bats for me. What was your? right we would buy
20 30 tickets like i would get a group of friends
family and friends and we're always going to
support them but it was it was only like it was
a hobby back then right now it's it's yeah it's
like we grew and grew and yeah it's gotten to
a point where it's i consider it work it's right
yeah but amando pulls up right now i'm on the
phone call Wrestling and her has got his portfolio
with the flashlight. We're looking at numbers
contacting It doesn't stop. It doesn't stop.
No, it doesn't if you want to succeed in something
that you you treasure is something that you Wanted
to grow you got to be constantly it's the hustle
like like back in the day, especially if it's
growing He started and it was high. The first
event was a big event. It was not like it was
only local wrestlers or anything like that. It
was like he said, it was for them. It was international.
Yeah, so we're always thinking, what are we doing?
It was a blessing, right? But I started off with
a bar too high. Yeah, that's right. I couldn't
bring a lower card down, right? Right. So how
do you get bigger than that? It's like us trying
to bring a Joe Rogan on the freaking program
I go and start Jordan the first guest won't already
say the bar too high and uh I mean we we have
uh seen this develop and just grow every year
and it gets bigger and bigger and our fan base
just keeps growing right we don't get asking
for more yeah they're asking more yeah they want
us to use every week right if we could oh it's
it's it's a lot of work putting something like
this together really is yeah take it down um
but you know having this man and having 4k you
know and having great, great, you know, friends,
supporters. The staff is very important. It's
the only way to make it happen. Right, right.
Collaboration from everybody. Right, right. And
it takes, you know, it takes a lot of work, but
we try to make it fun, not only for the fans,
but ourselves too, right? The setting up of the
ring, right? The taking down, the... Jorge and
I it's funny when we first started and we don't
do this no more right because now we have kids
to do it. When we started Jorge and I were night
walkers, okay? In the middle of the night passing
out flyers going to parking lots. That was you!
Ladies and gentlemen, we are back, bro. I am

first started Working together in this we used
to after work right we'd have regular lives right
to work go home have dinner you know rest a little
bit and then what can i would just hit the in
the streets in brownstone right we'll be literally
walking down the street passing up pushcards

have that somewhere. There you go. Let's go home.
Thank God for social media. But yeah, now, now
everything's good. Yeah, right. The networking,
all the good stuff. Those push cards really work.
They did. Yeah. Look at the ones that you guys
used to take and you believe are making you do
it. I want to say what we do that we shouldn't
be doing. That was better. Whatever you do, it's
working better. That's a whole different show.
Man, we just do it for, yes, obviously, it's
advertisement, but we have to really show our
sponsors. We've been blessed having so many sponsors
throughout the years that have really shown faith
in us as a company. And we have become such a...
uh close friends with them we had some sponsors
since day one you know and we're celebrating
what 18 19 years now and right and they've been
with us since day one right and their businesses
have grown and developed right our business has
grown and developed and we're still working together
right right it's amazing and uh and have a lot
to do with that right just keeping the sponsors
close and and satisfied right making sure that
their names are are passed out right whenever
we're on the street passing flyers and everything
else you know we're talking about our sponsors
you know and you may know i mean we all we all
survive on sponsors it's hard it's hard it's
a big help it's a real big help i mean it's hard
to put things together you know at this caliber
right without sponsors exactly exactly we are
we were extremely grateful we really are with
all the sponsors that we have for so many years,
right? And it's here faithfully with us today.
So, I mean, it talks about, you know, it talks
a lot about these guys and the work they put
behind, you know, the scene and putting all these
packages together for the sponsors. Right, right.
But, I mean, we've had some great stories. We've
gone in trouble a lot of times. Some of those
are at a city facility, and we all know not to
say politician's names. No, right. And we give
a microphone to somebody. Oh, no. By accident.
Yeah, I, I, I, I often do that, you know, put
my, put my mouth, but. And then we have somebody
else, too, that tends to forget. Right. This
guy right here. You give him the mic. We just
started praying. We just started looking at each
other. Hold your breath. Here we go. You'll call
the rest of his nicknames and then they're telling
me what's going on. Who told him to say that?
That's why everybody loves you. That's why they
love him so much. Yeah, we've been on the level
as to getting a national sponsorship at times.
That's awesome, man. That night of the Rey Mysterio,
it was major sponsorships. That's awesome. That's
awesome. I mean, what you guys are doing over
there on that neck of the woods, guys, it's it's

He goes, you don't realize what we're bringing.
You realize what was going on. Yeah. By 720,
I told them we can't sell tickets no more. It's
already packed. It's already full. Wow. It's
a capacity. And people were so excited about
that. And we got, we would tell people it's like
standing room only already, but there's a lot
of people standing like. They're going to be
pretty much shoulder to shoulder. I'm not going
to say no to money, but. The city shut it down
Too many people would come in and people would
just have to move back to the sports market the
Jacob Brown became too small And when Ray Mysterio,
I think the final count was ended up being like
7700 Jesus. People were calling me. Hey, there's
no more water, no more beer, no more. There's
no more. What do you want me to do? The city
had to send the cops for the traffic. Wow. It
was bad. People were grabbing the fence and the
gates. There was directing traffic on the expressway.
Right. It got... Excuse me. Remy Stadio that
night. Remy Stadio and... Brian Cage. Laredo
Kid. Charlie Guerrero. No Ray Ray and Laredo
against Ryan cage. He's I'm you give out. Yeah,
it was that was a match He was great with the
fans. He's a gentleman. He is. He really is.
He participated in all the autograph signing
sessions. Went out to eat with us. When we got
him out after his match, he got mad at us. Because
we pulled him on. There was a lot of fans wanting
to take pictures of him. Oh, OK. Well, yeah.
He's out there stories, and he's really about
the lockdown. We got him to the locker room.
He'll stay there. He'll stay there. And he told
me, what's going on? What did you do that? We
had that issue with Alberto. and it went crazy
so this time we were ready so we pulled you out
and he's a lot smarter than alberto so he he
he went out took pictures signed autographs he
just went outside yeah he went out he changed
masks and everything he went outside yeah that's
that's that's awesome that's awesome that's awesome
that's one of the things that you know and then
you talk to him and he's just sold out to earth
you know If you didn't know who he was, he's
just a great guy. Sounds like the city of Brownsville
really needs to give them their own value. We've
been blessed because the city of Brownsville
supports us. Yeah, they do. They've been great
with us. They help us a lot with the park. They
help us a lot with publicity now. They're seeing
the results and we do care about bringing events
to Brownsville. So we haven't gone to McAllen.
That's the only reason why, because we were further
crowd from McAllen comes to Brownsville. Right,
right, right. That's that's our hometown. Well,
we said that Jorge and I work together. So we
sell tickets there and I'm the one in charge
of the tickets. One day a lady walks in with
a northern accent. I said, where are you from?
I'm from Baltimore, Maryland. I said, so are
you on vacation? She said, no, I came down to
take my brother to your wrestling event. Wow.
Wow. And then we've had people from Chicago or,
yeah, they, they just come for the event. I have,
we had an event in Dallas. Yeah. And he came
to ours in Brownsville instead of going to the
one and I told him, Hey, we're going to be over
there. No, I want to go see yours because they
assume that because it's in Brownsville it's
going to be bigger or whatever right if we're
on tour it's going to be basically the same right
right Just let him know who was on the bus and
then we'll that'll be there to be Okay. Oh shit.
And we were all cruising in you know, there's
a texas and how many how many How many 20 packs
we're in the bus, that's what I want A couple
of friends of mine Our families we like to travel
together right and uh shout out to We are we
uh, we purchased a church bus, oh my goodness
The bus still had the church name on the side.
It was old. It was old. It was blue. It was blue.
We called the bus Bob, right? Oh my gosh. And
we had to be in Odessa, right, with the rest
of us. And Clarke said, Henry, let's just go
in the bus, right? Hello, gosh. We needed a car
to move all the wrestlers. Yeah, we needed cars
Because I want to hear the whole entire story
on another episode First of all worried about
an hour and some minutes already over but that's
what the cutoff anyway, but the first thing I
want to say is well one of the last questions
I want to ask Each one of you If the whole three
bad thing didn't perform didn't come out to what
it was planned, you know What would you be doing
different right now? Well, first of all, it wasn't
planned. It wasn't planned. Things we've been
doing. We all have real jobs. Let's say it started,
started, started, and we all had, I guess, an
input on getting it to go. I always tell her,
I think if it were 20 years back, he said, yeah,
Roberto Figueroa would be 18 years old. It wouldn't
have worked. you know but i don't know I think
exactly the same thing that we're doing today.
I consider all of us workaholics, we really do.
Right. And I manage a medical clinic. And, you
know, Jorge obviously has his business, right,
that I proudly announce all of them. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Represent, represent, you know, all of
us. So I don't think that I mean, we've been
working for so many years and we've been doing
exactly the same thing. So I think that just
happened to be a band -aid on something that
I was going through. It was supposed to just
make enough to make my bill, right? Help out
with the finances. Help out with the finances.
We were really upside down. And so it was a need,
true serendipity. It wasn't supposed to happen.
It's not about the money. It's really not right.
Do we do well? Yes. Thank God, right? But it's
not about money, right? It's about seeing the
people's faces during the event. We're fed up
the week of, but then the Saturday night after
the event and we're drinking a beer and we're
like... Just to see two dudes in a ring beat
the crap out of your throat just makes you feel
good. I hate to tell him Have you guys ever been
to the Brownsville Sports Park? I've been there
only once. So we're in the actual big soccer
field. So we have an entrance here and then they
could walk in and go up to the bleachers or go
down the ring side and then all our sponsors.
Well, the locker rooms complete on the opposite
side and then the parking is way over there.
So we've been blessed that the city also gives
us golf carts right but you got wrestlers call
call somebody that doesn't answer but they come
open the gate or we have an issue at the front
gate so there you go before i used to walk it
you're talking about he's getting old from six
to ten o 'clock try doing 28 000 steps With your
own ice and dude, you know that And one of the
things that we do is we help people Yeah, sure
whatever you can be inside the luggage Well,
one of the things that we do is all of us are
known for us to help people and we do it in the
silent way Earlier, I won't say what or whatever
guy comes and gets a donation. I gave Okay, he
says what I'm gonna know you're done. Nobody
needs to know and that's how we operate Yes,
we want people to know about Big Bad and go to
our shows. But we help, like let's say you guys.
A lot of people will ask me, hey, will you share
my post? First thing I'm going to ask you, have
you ever shared mine? And then that hurts. Then
it bites you in the butt. It's free. You can
share mine and I'll share yours. But we're all
willing to help. make each other grow exactly
you know it's not like we weren't born knowing
everything yeah we all need a little bit of you
know yeah i mean and i deal with each other every
day all day they fight every day you know but
no not really You know we we know what we have
to do and we're gonna get it done, you know and
and at the end of the day Yeah, the business
is got to make money and that's You know You
don't have to be bothered That was years ago
Monday, okay What's next right stars they start
again, right and people think that it's just
We're gonna do an event in March or let's say
today in March and we just planned it. That started
last year. We're already working the full year
and then 2020. And people are like, really? You
know, we're not, Jorge can, he can delay things
or whatever, but my brain doesn't. And that's
the thing is that we're different in that sense
that it works. Because he's the he's the one
in the middle whether he could be on time or
be late, right? And he was like, yeah, let's
wait a little bit But it works. I feel your pain,
buddy. I understand exactly how you feel. But
it works. You used to have a long hair when we
met. Look at the guy next to you. Long, long,
long time ago. That's how I don't remember, Mando.
I got pictures. I did. I got pictures, buddy.
pictures don't worry we all can't be the same
because it wouldn't work exactly My respect to
all these big guys. I love them a lot. I've been
with them for a lot of years. I'm very blessed
to actually work with these guys. And I love
it. Because of them, I've known a lot of wrestlers.
I've worked with a lot of wrestlers. I started
as y 'all's referee. Remember that? I started
as their referee. And I remember they had somebody
else's ring announcer. And just one of them.
Yeah, he was great. Man we miss He didn't know,
is he serious or what? I'll make you do this.

Boyle was something like, wow. They go why I
can't believe I have him here and then having
you guys here and having the Promotions from

wrestling promotions just coming left behind
That's the reason why to and I decide you know
what we gotta we gotta help push this bad boy
as much as you can This is entertainment that
the battle needs right now in the situation that's
going on everything This is just something to
blow off steam, you know And to have you guys
here is an honor man And with all the people
