to get to know you, bro. I mean, we've seen you

00:03:17.969 --> 00:03:20.250

00:03:20.250 --> 00:03:23.469

00:03:23.469 --> 00:03:25.650

bro. They're You bring the show for sure. Yes,

00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.439
you bring the show. I think that's what sometimes,

00:03:31.539 --> 00:03:33.340
most of the times, you are in part of the main

00:03:33.340 --> 00:03:35.099
events at the very end of the night, because

00:03:35.099 --> 00:03:37.280
you bring the show, you bring the ride. I definitely

00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:38.979
try to bring something different each and every

00:03:38.979 --> 00:03:41.819
match. I definitely try to show the Valley that

00:03:41.819 --> 00:03:45.259
we're not just a spot on a map. We're bigger

00:03:45.259 --> 00:03:48.319
than that. We are the RGV. We are the Rio Ren

00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:53.979
Valley. We are La Raza. We are... Making a name

00:03:53.979 --> 00:03:56.199
for ourselves little by little starting from

00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.719
now. We have a football team here in the in the

00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.300
Anyburg area now, we're making a for ourselves

00:04:02.300 --> 00:04:05.139
I just want to make sure that I make sure that

00:04:05.139 --> 00:04:08.300
RGB is just as proud as I am to be part of it

00:04:08.300 --> 00:04:10.840
That's good. Well said man. So let's start from

00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:13.840
the very beginning man Tell us where you're from

00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:17.379
where you grew up and how you got it all here

00:04:17.379 --> 00:04:23.600
and he released one more from Amanda You're saying,

00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.339
woohoo, we love you, Matt. Oh, here come the

00:04:26.339 --> 00:04:28.920
ladies, man. Here come the ladies. If I know

00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.000
one thing, Matt brings the ladies, bro. So let's

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:33.259
start from the beginning, brother. I'll tell

00:04:33.259 --> 00:04:35.660
you where you're from, where you grew up, and

00:04:35.660 --> 00:04:37.779
how we got into the wrestling world. Go ahead,

00:04:37.939 --> 00:04:40.259
Tom. Well, that's kind of a long story where

00:04:40.259 --> 00:04:45.540
it all started. Two crazy people had... pre -marital

00:04:45.540 --> 00:04:48.399
sex back in the day, and unfortunately I was...

00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.519
What? What? What? What? What are we gonna show,

00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.720
bro? What are you saying? Pay bills for the rest

00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:55.980
of my life, which I appreciate, y 'all, if I,

00:04:56.259 --> 00:05:00.040
uh... Let's see, I'm born in Corpus, raised down

00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.459
here in the valley at a very young age. That's

00:05:02.459 --> 00:05:05.220
why I say I'm from RGV. I mean, anytime I'm down

00:05:05.220 --> 00:05:07.040
here, I do say I'm from Corpus, but it's just

00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.019
a little pick and choose at the RGV community,

00:05:10.259 --> 00:05:12.959
because I know I'm from born and raised, but

00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:16.319
definitely raised RGV. This is kind of where

00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.550
the car broke down. Easiest said and done. I

00:05:20.550 --> 00:05:22.850
come from a big family. I'm the youngest of five.

00:05:23.029 --> 00:05:26.029
Oh, there you go. There you go. All my brothers

00:05:26.029 --> 00:05:28.910
and sisters are way ahead of me. Sister just

00:05:28.910 --> 00:05:32.009
retired out of the Army. Thank you for your service.

00:05:33.790 --> 00:05:37.610
Thank you very much, Ma. I don't know. I was

00:05:37.610 --> 00:05:40.560
always the... The black sheep of the family,

00:05:40.779 --> 00:05:42.579
I was always the quiet one, always the one that

00:05:42.579 --> 00:05:44.660
was just a nerd, get picked on all the time.

00:05:45.459 --> 00:05:48.480
I got left behind is how I say it. My family

00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.800
even called me FedEx sometimes. They said they

00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:55.160
dropped me off at the doorstop one day and they

00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:56.779
just didn't turn back and they couldn't turn

00:05:56.779 --> 00:06:02.399
me back in. No return labels. I don't know, growing

00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.319
up, kind of a nerd. was really into wrestling

00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.540
actually growing up until someone broke that

00:06:08.540 --> 00:06:12.680
little F card for me and I was like, I don't

00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:14.420
know, I don't know, I don't know if I could do

00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:16.720
this. I don't know if I'm gonna continue watching

00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.519
this, but I just, I don't know. The big timers,

00:06:19.579 --> 00:06:22.660
I was in The Rock, The Stone Cone. Pretty much

00:06:22.660 --> 00:06:24.040
the attitude era is what you're talking about.

00:06:24.060 --> 00:06:27.360
The best era, I feel like that was one of the

00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.360
golden era I feel like for me. And I don't know,

00:06:30.540 --> 00:06:32.079
I just, I always saw wrestling as part of my

00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.050
life. more of like my family, like my family

00:06:35.050 --> 00:06:37.350
would watch it. I remember one of the most like

00:06:37.350 --> 00:06:39.389
iconic things I remember is we were gonna watch

00:06:39.389 --> 00:06:42.389
one of the WrestleMania's and of course back

00:06:42.389 --> 00:06:43.889
in the day we didn't have DVR, you know what

00:06:43.889 --> 00:06:47.569
I mean? So we had this big ass 10 foot camera

00:06:47.569 --> 00:06:52.120
that we had set up next to our 15. Pound I mean

00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.579
1500 pound TV that we had there Just sit there

00:06:55.579 --> 00:06:57.339
and watch the matter after we paid for the pay

00:06:57.339 --> 00:06:59.579
-per -view. Oh, yeah And we couldn't watch it

00:06:59.579 --> 00:07:01.160
that weekend because we were going to I think

00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:02.980
to another I think we're gonna visit family and

00:07:02.980 --> 00:07:05.620
Alice or in Corpus area So we could we had we

00:07:05.620 --> 00:07:09.180
were gonna miss it So, of course, we let it record,

00:07:09.660 --> 00:07:11.319
set the battery, the battery was gonna die out,

00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.480
we didn't care as long as it recorded. So lo

00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:16.120
and behold, we come back and we're like, how

00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:17.579
exciting, you know, we're about to see WrestleMania

00:07:17.579 --> 00:07:19.540
that we paid like, I think that day was like

00:07:19.540 --> 00:07:21.860
80 bucks and 90 bucks. Why do I feel this is

00:07:21.860 --> 00:07:24.439
gonna go south real quick? Oh, it went south.

00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.660
So we were like, yeah, so we put on the VCR and

00:07:27.660 --> 00:07:30.379
we could hear everything. It was the greatest

00:07:30.379 --> 00:07:37.040
audio, but we could not see a thing. So I don't

00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:39.339
know if it was my mom or my step -dad, but one

00:07:39.339 --> 00:07:42.420
of them forgot to take the lens off the child.

00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.720
That's one of my golden memories as a child for

00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.660
wrestling. But other than that, it was... Well,

00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:53.339
you enjoyed it old school, man. Radio style,

00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.839
man. That's the best part. So then, I don't know.

00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:58.519
After that, it was mainly just sports. I played

00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:02.879
baseball since I was five years old. I kept going

00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.279
out very athletic. I was very into just being

00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:08.180
outdoors I grew up on a ranch and a lot of people

00:08:08.180 --> 00:08:09.660
know this and I hate to say this because it's

00:08:09.660 --> 00:08:13.699
gonna make the girls go even crazier I Grew up

00:08:13.699 --> 00:08:17.519
a cowboy I Grew up with the Wranglers the boots

00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.959
the hats you name it. I was in it Oh feeding

00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.459
the cows fixing fences on a horse four -wheelers.

00:08:24.459 --> 00:08:27.779
That's why Small engine mechanic. I learned how

00:08:27.779 --> 00:08:29.720
to weld I learned how to do all this before I

00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.919
was even like And like this is stuff that was

00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:36.360
like second nature to me and then growing up

00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.200
Having financial problems was of course my stepdad

00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.200
having to go to jail because he was part of some

00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:42.980
In -and -out stuff that I really don't want to

00:08:42.980 --> 00:08:46.600
get part of some Cartel things to do with that

00:08:49.659 --> 00:08:52.759
All of that had to slow down. It became kind

00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.159
of a survival thing after that. So that's basically

00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:57.899
how I spent the rest of my high school years.

00:08:57.899 --> 00:09:00.440
It was just surviving. It was me working. Actually,

00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.299
I got my first job when I was 12 years old. I

00:09:02.299 --> 00:09:04.120
was a ranch head up in Wyoming when my stepdad

00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:07.039
got out of jail. I did that most of my summers.

00:09:07.659 --> 00:09:09.740
I paid for all my school clothes. I helped pay

00:09:09.740 --> 00:09:15.480
my own rent coming back home. After that, I got

00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.940
my first legal job when I was 16. I was at Denny's.

00:09:18.990 --> 00:09:20.789
And then throughout high school, that's all I

00:09:20.789 --> 00:09:23.570
worked with Denny's. I was making decent money

00:09:23.570 --> 00:09:26.909
for being 16 years old. There you go. Money for

00:09:26.909 --> 00:09:31.309
the ladies, my man. And then just after that,

00:09:31.590 --> 00:09:35.149
I kept being athletic, stayed in sports all through

00:09:35.149 --> 00:09:37.690
high school. And then just when I graduated,

00:09:38.529 --> 00:09:40.169
I didn't really know what I wanted to do. I was

00:09:40.169 --> 00:09:41.990
going to college for mechanical engineering.

00:09:42.090 --> 00:09:44.309
There you go. I've always wanted to work with

00:09:44.309 --> 00:09:45.730
my hands. So it's something I'm still pursuing

00:09:45.730 --> 00:09:50.129
to this day. I just, I wanted something more,

00:09:50.649 --> 00:09:53.509
and me and my best friend, we were training for

00:09:53.509 --> 00:09:58.009
MMA and stuff. We were younger, Jiu -Jitsu, Boxing,

00:09:58.110 --> 00:10:02.250
Kickboxing, stuff like that. And I don't know,

00:10:02.389 --> 00:10:05.990
just one day after we both graduated, he just

00:10:05.990 --> 00:10:08.029
comes home one day from an academy. He worked

00:10:08.029 --> 00:10:12.110
at an academy at the time. And he's like, hey

00:10:12.110 --> 00:10:15.230
man, I was talking to some random dude. We're

00:10:15.230 --> 00:10:17.090
talking about like, you know, like fighting and

00:10:17.090 --> 00:10:19.330
like kung fu and then we went into soccer and

00:10:19.330 --> 00:10:21.210
so have so after the conversation spoken with

00:10:21.210 --> 00:10:25.009
the wrestling. Oh Here we go. Okay, like I will

00:10:25.009 --> 00:10:26.490
this look like that. She's like, yeah, man Well,

00:10:26.490 --> 00:10:27.970
apparently they have a training training down

00:10:27.970 --> 00:10:29.809
here like it's here in the flea market Which

00:10:29.809 --> 00:10:31.710
I was already skeptical cuz like again, I've

00:10:31.710 --> 00:10:34.669
never heard. Yeah This is the first time wrestling

00:10:34.669 --> 00:10:37.250
has ever been dropped like in my mind as far

00:10:37.250 --> 00:10:39.529
as like being professional or taking it anywhere

00:10:39.529 --> 00:10:42.070
So this is like a like the open like the first

00:10:42.070 --> 00:10:47.909
page. I'm very seen like all and still the title's

00:10:47.909 --> 00:10:49.909
still there. Pretty much the contents of the

00:10:49.909 --> 00:10:52.029
book before it starts getting written. You're

00:10:52.029 --> 00:10:53.929
already skeptical. You don't know if the book's

00:10:53.929 --> 00:10:55.549
going to be good, so you got to flip it over.

00:10:56.169 --> 00:10:58.690
So we're asking the questions. What's going to

00:10:58.690 --> 00:11:00.710
happen? Where is it? So I remember meeting this

00:11:00.710 --> 00:11:03.870
random guy at an HCB parking lot. Question, are

00:11:03.870 --> 00:11:07.470
there cliff notes by HCB? Can we just get to

00:11:07.470 --> 00:11:09.570
the point? No, but there will be a test after

00:11:09.570 --> 00:11:15.500
this. Oh, great. Great. So after we were meeting

00:11:15.500 --> 00:11:19.559
some random parking lot, the guy is the sketchiest

00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:21.320
thing in the world too because at the time my

00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:24.720
best friend drove a 1500 Dodge Ram, big truck,

00:11:24.940 --> 00:11:27.240
and then we were following some Dodge Charger

00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:28.539
at the time they had just popped out, it was

00:11:28.539 --> 00:11:31.340
red, candy red, and we're following it into this

00:11:31.340 --> 00:11:34.860
flea market at... 9 o 'clock at night or 8 o

00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:37.980
'clock at night. This is going to end wrong.

00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.500
This is the way horror stories start. This is

00:11:41.500 --> 00:11:45.480
how my documentary is going to start. So fast

00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:47.700
forward, we get there, some creepy old man opens

00:11:47.700 --> 00:11:50.220
the gate, drives us in, and the creepy man closes

00:11:50.220 --> 00:11:51.840
the gate behind us, and we're all looking at

00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.460
each other, my brother in the back, my best friend

00:11:54.460 --> 00:11:57.059
driving, I'm in the passenger seat. We're looking

00:11:57.059 --> 00:12:02.539
to like yeah, we're gonna die Like so I'm already

00:12:02.539 --> 00:12:04.980
like me I've always been a fighter so like our

00:12:04.980 --> 00:12:06.259
first thing it does I'm already reaching for

00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:12.100
his crowbars underneath I'm gonna go out swinging.

00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:13.659
You know what I mean? Right as we're getting

00:12:13.659 --> 00:12:16.000
closer. We turn a corner. We start hitting slams

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:30.639
of the ring and we're all kind of like So we

00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:32.440
start seeing the slam of the ring, but we're

00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:34.480
noticing that it's not a very like American style

00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.720
based wrestling. It's a lot of Aleutian styles.

00:12:37.700 --> 00:12:40.179
We're like kind of like, well, this isn't what

00:12:40.179 --> 00:12:41.940
we signed up for. You know, this is what we're

00:12:41.940 --> 00:12:43.679
totally totally American based style wrestling.

00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:47.759
You know what we see on TV right right and that's

00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:51.179
time a lot of YouTube too And uh, he's like no

00:12:51.179 --> 00:12:52.779
no, don't give us a second. Give us a second.

00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.460
Like uh, the trainers will be here All right.

00:12:55.539 --> 00:12:57.460
Cool. So we sit there about 10 minutes later

00:12:57.460 --> 00:13:00.980
some snazzy little guy walks in The suit tie

00:13:00.980 --> 00:13:04.080
everything holding his brief coats out like prouding

00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:07.080
his suit on wheels. I'm sitting there He has

00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:11.799
wheels on his briefcase And then here comes vermin

00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:16.240
right behind him Over cold, real chill, like

00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.840
he just came here to wrestle, and then here comes

00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:24.259
Popper with his cherry popper at the time. Danny

00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:27.139
Ramon. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay at the time

00:13:27.139 --> 00:13:29.940
he was cherry popper at the time and he shows

00:13:29.940 --> 00:13:32.220
up with his big ass suitcase full of wrestling

00:13:32.220 --> 00:13:34.620
gear. He looks like he's like the only one that's

00:13:34.620 --> 00:13:40.299
actually ready to wrestle. They get in the ring,

00:13:40.299 --> 00:13:42.320
they just start doing all these crazy things

00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:44.279
and we're just sitting there like mind blown.

00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:47.759
Like what did we just watch? Like these guys

00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:49.740
were seriously telling the truth. Like these

00:13:49.740 --> 00:13:53.450
guys are literally legitimate. They're like,

00:13:53.590 --> 00:13:55.570
they get off to start doing crazy stuff. They're

00:13:55.570 --> 00:13:58.190
back flipping, front flipping, just doing their

00:13:58.190 --> 00:13:59.909
thing. I mean, they turn around, they look at

00:13:59.909 --> 00:14:04.330
us like, I said, what do y 'all think? We're

00:14:04.330 --> 00:14:07.110
taking our first bumps, our first rolls. We're

00:14:07.110 --> 00:14:11.490
already ready to go. We picked it up. I'm sorry,

00:14:11.570 --> 00:14:14.330
it fell on our lap. We picked it up and ran with

00:14:14.330 --> 00:14:18.669
it. We just fell in love with it. I think one

00:14:18.669 --> 00:14:22.230
of our first shows that we ever got to see on

00:14:22.269 --> 00:14:25.149
Like kind of a taste, not so much like we were

00:14:25.149 --> 00:14:27.549
wrestling. It was on YouTube. It was like PWG

00:14:27.549 --> 00:14:31.250
at the time. And this was when like at our time,

00:14:31.769 --> 00:14:33.850
all the guys that we wanted to wrestle were in

00:14:33.850 --> 00:14:36.129
this show. And they were doing some of the craziest

00:14:36.129 --> 00:14:38.330
spots. I mean, high spot after high spot after.

00:14:38.690 --> 00:14:42.850
And we were like, we could do this. We can do

00:14:42.850 --> 00:14:45.049
this. We are gonna do this. So it's exactly what

00:14:45.049 --> 00:14:49.090
we did. We just nailed it together. I don't know,

00:14:49.250 --> 00:14:50.690
I'm not sure y 'all played WWE games when they

00:14:50.690 --> 00:14:51.769
first started coming out. You can build your

00:14:51.769 --> 00:14:55.049
own kicks. That was literally our homework. And

00:14:55.049 --> 00:14:57.029
this is when I first started training after it

00:14:57.029 --> 00:15:00.450
became like more professional. I always train

00:15:00.450 --> 00:15:02.769
the younger crowd. I'll tell them, hey, go home.

00:15:02.830 --> 00:15:05.039
This is your homework. If you had WWE game. Go

00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.700
create your character. Go in there, do what you

00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:10.259
gotta do. Like, what moves you will see yourself

00:15:10.259 --> 00:15:12.820
doing, like, and perfect them. Make your character

00:15:12.820 --> 00:15:14.799
in that ring, and that way you can, like, bring

00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:16.659
it out. And that's just, that's what we would

00:15:16.659 --> 00:15:18.580
do. We would create our own characters, and I

00:15:18.580 --> 00:15:20.379
had my own moveset and stuff that I wanted to

00:15:20.379 --> 00:15:24.039
do and what I didn't wanna do, and now I'm here.

00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.080
You know when you say that? That's like one of

00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:27.980
the best concepts until somebody goes, you know

00:15:27.980 --> 00:15:31.720
what? Go home, play this game, and create your

00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:34.440
character, dude. And picture yourself There was

00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:37.100
dude in the ring, bro And I I think that inspired

00:15:37.100 --> 00:15:38.960
a lot of like the younger talent because that's

00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:40.519
exactly what they did like they'd go home and

00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:42.980
they would Watch themselves wrestle and I go

00:15:42.980 --> 00:15:44.940
I can do this and I can do that I wanted this

00:15:44.940 --> 00:15:47.360
and the at the time the games were very limited

00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:49.259
But you can also like upload stuff and download

00:15:49.259 --> 00:15:51.580
stuff and like they would create their own characters

00:15:51.580 --> 00:15:53.500
I want to come out and they would I would see

00:15:53.500 --> 00:15:57.620
them years later and their characters Now they're

00:15:57.620 --> 00:16:00.039
like now they're there they're right about so

00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:02.850
like it's a it was that's how it started it just

00:16:02.850 --> 00:16:07.590
it came from an underground here he said she

00:16:07.590 --> 00:16:10.330
said hey this is how it's going to start right

00:16:10.330 --> 00:16:15.350
now we just we saw not the light at the end of

00:16:15.350 --> 00:16:17.470
the tunnel but we saw the work that needed to

00:16:17.470 --> 00:16:19.789
be done and we were doing it right we did it

00:16:19.789 --> 00:16:22.429
the just now this promotion i've heard i've heard

00:16:22.429 --> 00:16:26.389
so many of the og's talking about this This promotion

00:16:26.389 --> 00:16:28.649
is what promotion? Would be back in the day it

00:16:28.649 --> 00:16:31.330
was called Wrestling Revolution. So you're part

00:16:31.330 --> 00:16:34.690
of the original OGs back then. And that was one

00:16:34.690 --> 00:16:37.070
of the, I think that was when I paid my dues

00:16:37.070 --> 00:16:39.669
the most I think because at the time we didn't

00:16:39.669 --> 00:16:41.230
have a professional ring. So the ring that y

00:16:41.230 --> 00:16:45.059
'all see nowadays. takes us maybe like 30 minutes

00:16:45.059 --> 00:16:47.480
to maybe an hour to set up, depending on how

00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.639
many people show up. At our time, we had a boxing

00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:52.200
ring, which I'm not sure you are familiar with,

00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:55.000
but boxing rings are a lot harsher and a lot

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:57.779
stiffer than a wrestling ring. They're not meant

00:16:57.779 --> 00:16:59.809
to like give, they're meant to like... You know,

00:16:59.850 --> 00:17:01.590
so you can plant your feet and give that that

00:17:01.590 --> 00:17:04.450
that yeah Yeah, so we turned that well they at

00:17:04.450 --> 00:17:06.650
the time turned that into uh, the old g's turned

00:17:06.650 --> 00:17:08.789
that into a wrestling ring at the time So we

00:17:08.789 --> 00:17:10.650
were taking our bumps on basically concrete.

00:17:10.670 --> 00:17:13.710
That's basically what we were doing, but we loved

00:17:13.710 --> 00:17:16.549
it. We just that's awesome That ring took almost

00:17:16.549 --> 00:17:20.069
six of us anywhere from like four to six hours

00:17:20.069 --> 00:17:23.509
to set up like it wasn't like we can get there

00:17:23.509 --> 00:17:25.809
we had to sometimes set that up days before day

00:17:25.809 --> 00:17:28.789
before like set half of it up just so the next

00:17:28.789 --> 00:17:31.250
day we go in there and reset the rest of it up

00:17:31.250 --> 00:17:35.369
right and it was it was a pain but honestly it

00:17:35.369 --> 00:17:38.750
made me love the business so much more personally

00:17:38.750 --> 00:17:41.690
right right as much as i i i couldn't stand doing

00:17:41.690 --> 00:17:43.789
it gonna be wrong i have so many bumps and bruises

00:17:43.789 --> 00:17:45.930
and back pains because of it like i'm pretty

00:17:45.930 --> 00:17:48.829
sure a bunch of my rotator cuffs are out of place

00:17:48.829 --> 00:17:53.200
because of that Well when you got sweat in the

00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:55.240
game at the end of it No, it's not even that

00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.019
at the end of that match when you were done and

00:17:57.019 --> 00:17:58.819
you were taking it apart You sat there like bro.

00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:01.980
That was amazing. That was right. It was worth

00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:05.980
that Like it's like I've been at the gym and

00:18:05.980 --> 00:18:07.099
going through a leg day and even though you don't

00:18:07.099 --> 00:18:08.420
want to do it at the end of that leg day You're

00:18:08.420 --> 00:18:12.009
like that was awesome. Like that was nice Just

00:18:12.009 --> 00:18:14.630

But anyways, but uh, yeah, dude i was saying

00:18:39.869 --> 00:18:44.119
before uh I've noticed the OGs talk about that

00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:49.119
same story. They were out there North of Mission

00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:53.839
doing the flea market thing. And I think Raymond

00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.500
said it best, he's a bill of callus to everything

00:18:56.500 --> 00:18:59.140
you need to do first so you can feel the bumps.

00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:01.079
You know, do everything. You'll be ready for

00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:03.619
the hits, the bumps, the slams, all that good

00:19:03.619 --> 00:19:04.960
stuff. I'm going to tell you that after putting

00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.119
that ring together, nothing could hurt me. I'll

00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:10.279
tell you that. I'll tell you that. after what

00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:13.259
that ring did to me yeah there's nothing i'm

00:19:13.259 --> 00:19:18.619
gonna hit the concrete I'm gonna put I'm gonna

00:19:18.619 --> 00:19:20.779
put this up there so you can read it yourself.

00:19:20.940 --> 00:19:23.740
He says the biggest hidden gem is in the chat

00:19:23.740 --> 00:19:29.279
once I'll make sure Matt has receipts for you

00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:51.369
also just like I'm not typing in the chat It's

00:19:51.369 --> 00:19:53.809
funny like you said the story of how you guys

00:19:53.809 --> 00:19:56.849
got started in that whole business. It was crazy

00:19:56.849 --> 00:20:00.250
and crazy because like it became our shows also

00:20:00.250 --> 00:20:02.109
became practice because it wasn't like we're

00:20:02.109 --> 00:20:03.950
throwing shows every once a month it wasn't throwing

00:20:03.950 --> 00:20:08.019
shows every other couple weeks or it was significantly

00:20:08.019 --> 00:20:10.480
at the beginning it was almost two or three times

00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:13.599
a week we were wrestling like wow it'd be a friday

00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:15.859
one place saturday next time and sunday somewhere

00:20:15.859 --> 00:20:18.400
else and it'd be two shows at one place and a

00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.119
sunday some other place or it'd be a random thursday

00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:23.579
at some festival that we gotta somehow manage

00:20:23.579 --> 00:20:26.359
to scrape together this ring and make it over

00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:29.000
there like like who wants to ruin their truck

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:34.119
trying to carry this ring everywhere like yeah

00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:38.779
so uh it was it was practice and it made the

00:20:38.779 --> 00:20:42.200
love for the game real like it just it was right

00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:44.180
I don't know every every week was something different

00:20:44.180 --> 00:20:46.299
every week was a show every week we had a story

00:20:46.299 --> 00:20:50.519
like if you missed one day or one show like it

00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:53.920
felt like you missed an entire yeah week we go

00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:57.799
yeah I think this is why it's so like sacred

00:20:57.799 --> 00:20:59.619
to us like especially people who were there and

00:20:59.619 --> 00:21:01.940
I got to see all of it because like you had to

00:21:01.940 --> 00:21:04.079
be there You just had to be there like the times

00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:06.440
when we sold out arenas that we sold out our

00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:08.420
our our which was seen it which was our biggest

00:21:08.420 --> 00:21:10.700
place Yeah, yeah, we sold out that places and

00:21:10.700 --> 00:21:13.660
it was it was it was crazy like you had and some

00:21:13.660 --> 00:21:15.240
of the wrestlers the rest of the day were there

00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:17.700
and it's crazy because like they were they were

00:21:17.700 --> 00:21:21.200
watching us do this and like that's another thing

00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:24.519
is that wr was one of the few promotions that

00:21:24.910 --> 00:21:27.990
Can they were consistent they were? Consistently

00:21:27.990 --> 00:21:29.890
promoting consistently putting everything out

00:21:29.890 --> 00:21:31.470
there consistently telling hey, this is wrestling.

00:21:31.490 --> 00:21:34.470
This is what? Wrestling in the valley is this

00:21:34.470 --> 00:21:36.329
is what American style wrestling because we don't

00:21:36.329 --> 00:21:38.329
know we had a lot of lucha wrestlers in the valley

00:21:38.329 --> 00:21:40.849
rest wrestling is always and will always be around

00:21:40.849 --> 00:21:45.369
long live wrestling period, but There wasn't

00:21:45.369 --> 00:21:49.839
a real like American style, right? Base here.

00:21:49.940 --> 00:21:51.880
There was there was a lot of little promotions,

00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.759
right? It wasn't a constant story where like

00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:57.220
people could invest their money and go and see

00:21:57.220 --> 00:22:00.059
it every day and Here's a $10 ticket to watch

00:22:00.059 --> 00:22:02.039
it every week and you sit there like but last

00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:03.759
week this guy got in the fight with this guy

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:05.359
But now this guy is gonna get his revenge on

00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:08.279
the right. It goes here like goes this are we

00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:11.599
are we WWF back in the day? Are we sitting there

00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:14.400
like we're getting people? Did it feel like that,

00:22:14.420 --> 00:22:16.599
like you were building something? It really felt

00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:18.700
like we had a connection with the community,

00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:21.900
like everybody, and to this day, like, I have

00:22:21.900 --> 00:22:23.480
people who come up to me, like, hey man, I used

00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:25.619
to see you wrestle when I was a kid. I'm like,

00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:30.480
bro, you're 22. Like, what do you mean? Like,

00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.700
don't make me feel older than I am. My grandpa

00:22:33.700 --> 00:22:35.819
talked about seeing you wrestle all the time.

00:22:38.360 --> 00:22:46.460
Every part of my body just starts hurting Who

00:22:46.460 --> 00:22:50.380
the heck is Martin Gomez that guy who got smacked

00:22:50.380 --> 00:22:58.849
by a watermelon And as Amanda's saying, I remember

00:22:58.849 --> 00:23:00.950
those wrestling revolution days, great times.

00:23:01.269 --> 00:23:05.029
They were great times. And I got Lisa Gonzo saying

00:23:05.029 --> 00:23:10.490
Matt is the GOAT. I'm not gonna deny that there,

00:23:10.769 --> 00:23:14.990
Lisa. I've seen your matches, bro. They are...

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:17.380
They're classics man. Those are the ones that

00:23:17.380 --> 00:23:20.799
I've seen personally in person itself. I mean

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:24.660
they are classic matches I appreciate that. I

00:23:24.660 --> 00:23:28.660
guess I do try very hard. I do my homework. I

00:23:28.660 --> 00:23:32.119
Train the best I can especially mentally if I'm

00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:34.640
not in the ring I'm mentally training in my head

00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:36.640
so I'm constantly in the ring if I'm not physically

00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:39.559
I'm mentally in the ring I'm constantly putting

00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:44.930
together matches for no reason in my head making

00:23:44.930 --> 00:23:47.009
spots out of nothing. I see something that I

00:23:47.009 --> 00:23:48.890
like, and I'm like, how can I make that cooler?

00:23:49.849 --> 00:23:52.970
That's basically what Matt Wright is. Well, here

00:23:52.970 --> 00:23:55.769
you go, Matt. Ask and you shall receive, Jose

00:23:55.769 --> 00:23:59.170
Martinez said, my grandpa took me to see Matt.

00:24:04.849 --> 00:24:09.990
My grandpappy took me. That's just messed up,

00:24:10.069 --> 00:24:13.269
Jose, don't we? Damn it, you made me take my

00:24:13.269 --> 00:24:16.789
dinghy right in the ass. Where's my whole routine,

00:24:17.069 --> 00:24:20.750
Danny? Y 'all don't have Benguet. You also have

00:24:20.750 --> 00:24:23.869
a new style in your hair. Are you jealous of

00:24:23.869 --> 00:24:27.529
me, man? I think you got a couple of that. But

00:24:27.529 --> 00:24:30.230
anyway, but y 'all know that, I mean. But like

00:24:30.230 --> 00:24:33.430
I said, it's a cost of training. I, um, I...

00:24:33.450 --> 00:24:35.930
I had to slowly step away from the ring at one

00:24:35.930 --> 00:24:38.869
point. I tore my meniscus and I'm assuming, I

00:24:38.869 --> 00:24:40.829
haven't got the MRI or anything done, but I'm

00:24:40.829 --> 00:24:43.089
assuming my MCL as well, because I don't have

00:24:43.089 --> 00:24:47.589
any side wave movement. But that set me back

00:24:47.589 --> 00:24:49.750
about, I'm gonna say almost three years. Like

00:24:49.750 --> 00:24:52.369
I had to take a break. I posted it up on my Instagram

00:24:52.369 --> 00:24:54.490
and my Facebook. I was like, hey guys, I'm sorry.

00:24:55.109 --> 00:24:57.289
My knee's gotten really out of shape. Like it

00:24:57.289 --> 00:25:00.509
needs healing, it needs. to take a, it needs

00:25:00.509 --> 00:25:02.470
to get fixed. And that's what I was gonna take

00:25:02.470 --> 00:25:05.369
that break for. I wanted to save up and maybe

00:25:05.369 --> 00:25:07.670
even invest in surgery, invest something, but

00:25:07.670 --> 00:25:10.309
I also got a bunch of opinions on the surgery

00:25:10.309 --> 00:25:12.049
itself, which was like, hey, don't do it after

00:25:12.049 --> 00:25:14.750
surgery. It's not the same. Just don't do it.

00:25:14.849 --> 00:25:16.609
It's just, just do what you like, rehabilitate

00:25:16.609 --> 00:25:18.549
it. And that's, that's, that's honestly what

00:25:18.549 --> 00:25:21.150
I had to do, not even just cause I couldn't afford

00:25:21.150 --> 00:25:23.910
the surgery. Like I'm not one for ask for handouts.

00:25:23.970 --> 00:25:27.049
I'm not one to start like, So I was like, let

00:25:27.049 --> 00:25:29.730
me see what else I can do to make sure I can

00:25:29.730 --> 00:25:32.410
continue my career. And that's exactly what I

00:25:32.410 --> 00:25:34.690
did. I spent those three years just rehabilitating

00:25:34.690 --> 00:25:37.349
my knee and I was constantly putting it under

00:25:37.349 --> 00:25:40.390
strain, under load, pushing it not to its limit,

00:25:40.589 --> 00:25:43.369
but a good step before it. I was pushing it to

00:25:43.369 --> 00:25:45.049
where I can make sure I get my mobility back

00:25:45.049 --> 00:25:48.109
as well as my strength. I bought a brace that

00:25:48.109 --> 00:25:50.839
makes sure that I have two metal bars. As you

00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:54.680
can see, two bars that go across. No, put the

00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:57.160
camera on the other guy. No, you're good. They

00:25:57.160 --> 00:25:59.299
go across here. I'm not sure you all ever see

00:25:59.299 --> 00:26:01.779
it, but there's two metal rods that go across

00:26:01.779 --> 00:26:04.220
my knee. Jesus Christ, bro! And my knee doesn't

00:26:04.220 --> 00:26:07.529
go either way. But it's just, like I said, it's

00:26:07.529 --> 00:26:09.509
for the love of the game. I needed to make sure

00:26:09.509 --> 00:26:12.650
I got back in the ring. And that itch, like any

00:26:12.650 --> 00:26:14.970
wrestler will tell you, even retired, not retired,

00:26:15.309 --> 00:26:18.390
it's an itch. And I needed it. I needed to scratch

00:26:18.390 --> 00:26:23.210
it. So I secretly got in touch with one of my

00:26:23.210 --> 00:26:25.490
best friends who just so happens to run a promotion.

00:26:25.930 --> 00:26:28.849
And I was like, look, man, I'm getting the itch.

00:26:29.029 --> 00:26:31.049
I need to get back in the ring. I just don't

00:26:31.049 --> 00:26:34.539
want. Anybody to know I just I don't want people

00:26:34.539 --> 00:26:36.799
to hit me up I don't want people to see what

00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:39.680
I can do in the ring and then Overbook me and

00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:41.980
then knowing me how I can't say no because I

00:26:41.980 --> 00:26:47.059
love to work I'm gonna push myself right back

00:26:47.059 --> 00:26:50.680
into an injury so right right right I want to

00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:52.740
do this under under caps I want to do this without

00:26:52.740 --> 00:26:55.279
anybody knowing and it's exactly what we did

00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:58.140
I came out as the motorcycle guy three years

00:26:58.140 --> 00:27:00.160
later and everybody would just see me show up

00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:02.819
at a show and right either I was intervening

00:27:02.819 --> 00:27:04.299
or she's making a scene and then I would leave

00:27:04.299 --> 00:27:07.380
and then they were like who the who the hell's

00:27:07.380 --> 00:27:12.500
that guy like You had to say, nobody knew. Nobody

00:27:12.500 --> 00:27:16.579
knew. That's exactly what I wanted. I didn't

00:27:16.579 --> 00:27:19.680
want anybody to be like... You mean you were

00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:25.940
doing a Seth Rollins? I wanted to just slowly

00:27:25.940 --> 00:27:28.039
come back into the wrestling scene. I wanted

00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:31.319
to make sure that the new people... That never

00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:33.440
saw wrestling all of a sudden were interested

00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:35.920
in wrestling, right? Right, and that's what me

00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:37.839
and chance put together I think really well with

00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:40.759
my first cage backs from cage match back and

00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:44.200
I was I was hella nervous. I was like I had this

00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:46.359
the first time in a ring in over three years

00:27:46.359 --> 00:27:48.019
This is the first time I'm actually putting my

00:27:48.019 --> 00:27:51.359
knee to the test Yeah, this is this is making

00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:54.900
sure that I can continue my career right right

00:27:54.900 --> 00:27:59.430
and again with my my Brothers, which again, he's

00:27:59.430 --> 00:28:01.130
my best friend, but he's my brother at the same

00:28:01.130 --> 00:28:03.910

00:28:08.230 --> 00:28:10.730
is taking care of each other's brotherhood And

at other places I'm like that's cool. Like that's

00:28:45.259 --> 00:28:47.140

00:28:47.140 --> 00:28:50.799
realize that The value is big and we're making

00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:52.759

00:29:05.109 --> 00:29:10.839
death defying, RGV's best, craziest. I got...

00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:14.259
I think your legacy is safe, man. I got, uh,

00:29:14.420 --> 00:29:18.980
at LWAW, saying, yo, on there, and okay, and

00:29:18.980 --> 00:29:23.220
then I got Danny saying, the press. Yeah, it

00:29:23.220 --> 00:29:25.460
was the press. It was funny, because, like, my

00:29:25.460 --> 00:29:28.200
memory of being up there, and I'm not sure y

00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:30.619
'all have seen how high that... Yes, I've been

00:29:30.619 --> 00:29:33.200
to the match of that size. It's pretty damn high.

00:29:34.140 --> 00:29:35.920
So being up there, I remember telling Chance,

00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:38.480
and we were like, hey, man, how do you want to

00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:39.619
go, how do you want to finish this match? Like,

00:29:40.579 --> 00:29:42.720
how do you want to finish this match? I'm like,

00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:45.680
I want to do something off top rope. And he was

00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:47.460
like, hey, if you don't want to do it, don't

00:29:47.460 --> 00:29:48.759
do it. If you can't do it, don't do it. And I

00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:50.680
get up there like, I'm going to do it. He's like,

00:29:50.740 --> 00:29:52.880
all right, don't bitch out. Those were his words,

00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.960
don't bitch out. Got up there, I looked down,

00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:01.720
my butthole clenched. I could have cracked a

00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:04.700
walnut. I'm going to tell you that right now.

00:30:05.859 --> 00:30:08.339
But all I could hear was chance and see chance

00:30:08.339 --> 00:30:10.920
looking at me, but I hear chance saying don't

00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:18.039
bitch out bitch This is your time I let's do

00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:22.380
it And honestly after that match I remember landing

00:30:22.380 --> 00:30:24.920
and then just chance trying to grab me and pull

00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:26.960
me so he can hug me because he's so excited after

00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:29.220
the match because He was he was out the door

00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:30.920
himself. He was he was tired. He wants to focus

00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:37.430
on just running the business He uh, he was just

00:30:37.430 --> 00:30:38.869
so excited to be back in the ring with me like

00:30:38.869 --> 00:30:41.309
I was it was a brotherhood after that I was like

00:30:41.309 --> 00:30:45.529

00:30:45.529 --> 00:30:48.250
still gonna make sure that people know the name

00:30:48.250 --> 00:30:52.430
that right and yeah I said before dude. I've

00:30:52.430 --> 00:30:54.609
seen the matches that he especially that that

00:30:54.609 --> 00:30:56.869
that night. I was a Swanton that we're shooting

00:30:56.869 --> 00:31:00.930
star coming from the top Saw that I'm like bro.

00:31:01.009 --> 00:31:03.910
You got you got to be out of your damn mind I

00:31:03.910 --> 00:31:06.789
have some people tell me it was because of that

00:31:06.789 --> 00:31:09.589
match is why I started watching wrestling Wow

00:31:09.589 --> 00:31:12.910
To that show and I'm like, I'm cool with that.

00:31:12.910 --> 00:31:14.670
I appreciate that I take that as the biggest

00:31:14.670 --> 00:31:17.670
compliment cuz I made it I made some kind of

00:31:17.670 --> 00:31:20.049

00:31:20.190 --> 00:31:23.250
That's awesome. We're going to go real quick

00:31:23.250 --> 00:31:26.930
on that. This is why I wanted him on the pod,

00:31:27.230 --> 00:31:28.809
bro. Because I mean, the conversation with this

00:31:28.809 --> 00:31:32.170
guy, he got so much stuff. He got a lot of baggage.

00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:35.619
You got a lot of baggage. I prefer to say he

00:31:35.619 --> 00:31:40.420
has a lot of stories. Yeah, that too. That too,

00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:43.960

00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:46.079

00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:56.589

on the expressway. Yeah. Yeah. Worst traffic

00:35:57.250 --> 00:36:00.989
ever right now in the RGB, and you made it in

00:36:00.989 --> 00:36:05.289
15 minutes. You didn't even feel it. What car?

00:36:05.469 --> 00:36:08.329
Any law enforcement or listening allegedly made

00:36:08.329 --> 00:36:10.969
it here in 15 minutes. That car goes on fire.

00:36:11.659 --> 00:36:14.280
Just to elaborate, the bike has wings, all right?

00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:19.059
The bike has wings, he flew across the valley,

00:36:19.139 --> 00:36:21.500
got here on time, he didn't even come up the

00:36:21.500 --> 00:36:23.099
ramp for the second floor parking lot, he just

00:36:23.099 --> 00:36:28.360
flew in. As simple as that. True story. But going

00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:32.190
to that, I know we talked about... well you know

00:36:32.190 --> 00:36:33.650
what let me get let me get your take on your

00:36:33.650 --> 00:36:35.769
mountain rushmore wrestlers bro what's your mountain

00:36:35.769 --> 00:36:37.530
rushmore wrestlers well what you mean by mountain

00:36:37.530 --> 00:36:39.929
rushmore like the four greatest wrestlers that

00:36:39.929 --> 00:36:41.630
i've seen the ones that have inspired you to

00:36:41.630 --> 00:36:45.570
become what you're doing now a lot of my wrestling

00:36:45.570 --> 00:36:51.489
inspires from eddie for sure uh he was as far

00:36:51.489 --> 00:36:55.369
as i mean growing up and mexican dominant culture

00:36:55.369 --> 00:37:00.449
as being mexican myself it's uh it was good to

00:37:00.449 --> 00:37:05.489
see La Raza win it was the best thing to see

00:37:05.489 --> 00:37:10.090
one of us up on the throne showing that Us as

00:37:10.090 --> 00:37:12.369
Mexicans, even though we're small. We're short,

00:37:12.690 --> 00:37:17.269
but we're hard workers. We're resilient. We're

00:37:17.269 --> 00:37:25.079
Not gonna take No for an answer. That's the pride

00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:28.199
and joy of being Mexican. I think it's just we're

00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:31.519
workers. Well, if you fall there, you get into

00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:36.400
genres, you lie, you cheat, you steal. That was

00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:40.280
your cheat, you lie, you steal. Exactly. And

00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:44.300
you leave broken hearts everywhere. Sorry ladies.

00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:47.420
Let's see. So that was definitely number one

00:37:47.420 --> 00:37:53.840
up there. definitely had to go to The Rock. I

00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:58.079
grew up in the Attitude era. I grew up in promo

00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:02.460
after promo of just, it doesn't matter what you

00:38:02.460 --> 00:38:07.880
think. The cutoffs, the storylines, the placement,

00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:12.940
everything was just amazing to me. He was the

00:38:12.940 --> 00:38:16.900
most electrifying man. Known to man. Yeah, I

00:38:16.900 --> 00:38:19.619
mean so it's entertainment. Yeah. Yeah sports

00:38:19.619 --> 00:38:22.019
entertainment. I'm sorry, but he was I don't

00:38:22.019 --> 00:38:25.059
know he was One of the greatest wrestlers is

00:38:25.059 --> 00:38:27.960
just and I mean by persona I'm not saying like

00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:29.380
his wrestling was all that don't be wrong. Like

00:38:29.380 --> 00:38:33.139
he wasn't High -flying he wasn't but he was always

00:38:33.139 --> 00:38:37.719
Trying to know what's the word? There's always

00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:39.860
electrifying like he was always anticipating

00:38:39.860 --> 00:38:43.800
like how I can make something different how I

00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:48.219
can You know, they have a... How can I turn a

00:38:48.219 --> 00:38:50.199
five -minute match into a storyline kind of thing?

00:38:50.420 --> 00:38:52.900
I won't lie, man. This guy knew how to make his

00:38:52.900 --> 00:38:55.940
opponent shine. He made his opponent shine. There

00:38:55.940 --> 00:38:59.139
was no and ifs or buts about that. He knew how

00:38:59.139 --> 00:39:00.860
to go out there and throw a match together and

00:39:00.860 --> 00:39:03.260
make both the story and himself and the other

00:39:03.260 --> 00:39:06.230
person look... Great like I'm wrong. There's

00:39:06.230 --> 00:39:08.469
a lot of other controversy between all that too

00:39:08.469 --> 00:39:11.190
But I think anybody with their mountain Mount

00:39:11.190 --> 00:39:13.389
Rushmore arresters is gonna have some controversy

00:39:13.389 --> 00:39:16.349
on top of that right right right right I think

00:39:16.349 --> 00:39:19.409
third is definitely gonna have to be Jeff Hardy

00:39:19.409 --> 00:39:34.820
everybody and their mother I think third place

00:39:34.820 --> 00:39:37.380
has to go to both the Hardy brothers. There you

00:39:37.380 --> 00:39:39.039
go. There you go. We can do that. We can do that.

00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:40.019
We can do that. We can do that. It has to be

00:39:40.019 --> 00:39:41.699
both of them because they were both doing some

00:39:41.699 --> 00:39:43.739
of the wildest things in the Attitude Era. It

00:39:43.739 --> 00:39:46.900
was the ladder of the TLC matches along with

00:39:46.900 --> 00:39:48.639
Edge and Christian and the Dudley Boys. It was

00:39:48.639 --> 00:39:51.280
them doing the crazy things, the jumping off

00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:53.300
of stuff and jumping and breaking through the

00:39:53.300 --> 00:39:55.400
table. Tables, chairs, ladders. How many kids

00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:57.619
went to the hospital because of that? Because

00:39:57.619 --> 00:40:00.159
of the Lardy Brothers. Luckily, I could not afford

00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:02.980
the hospital, so I probably am not one of those

00:40:02.980 --> 00:40:05.800
kids. That did not stop a lot of people, man.

00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:10.940
And I think fourth and final and it's only because

00:40:10.940 --> 00:40:19.059
of my finisher is Evan born He he was off I saw

00:40:19.059 --> 00:40:21.980
first saw him on the indie scenes he was wrestling

00:40:21.980 --> 00:40:25.679
under Matt Matt Sadal to think at the time and

00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:30.159
His finishers his finishers his kicks his his

00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:35.420
high energy Into his like abilities. It was like

00:40:35.420 --> 00:40:37.659
he was I think I got former gymnastics or like

00:40:37.659 --> 00:40:40.340
cheerleader or right right right? He was using

00:40:40.340 --> 00:40:42.119
that to his abilities and I saw what he could

00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:44.480
do and then when I first saw his finisher that

00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:46.840
shooting star press and how He would hold his

00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:53.059
legs when he would do it It was it was the most

00:40:53.059 --> 00:40:56.300
I was like that's my finisher that right there

00:40:56.300 --> 00:40:58.800
is my finisher and don't get me wrong And you

00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:01.039
can ask any of the old geez as well as anybody

00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:03.869
who saw me wrestle back in the day The way you

00:41:03.869 --> 00:41:07.250
see it now is not the way I used to do it back

00:41:07.250 --> 00:41:12.230
in the day, okay? There was times where I would

00:41:12.230 --> 00:41:15.489
scorpion myself so bad that you could literally

00:41:15.489 --> 00:41:19.250
see my leg kick the back of my head somehow bad

00:41:19.250 --> 00:41:22.550
I would undershoot it. And I'm not even kidding.

00:41:22.809 --> 00:41:24.929
I'm pretty sure if anybody of the OGs are watching

00:41:24.929 --> 00:41:28.230
this and they're hearing this, they'll tell you

00:41:28.230 --> 00:41:31.329
there's a reason why my... I have a lot of back

00:41:31.329 --> 00:41:34.889
problems now, I'll tell you that right now. But

00:41:34.889 --> 00:41:36.809
it was just something that I was like, no, I'm

00:41:36.809 --> 00:41:41.190
gonna master this finisher. And because of Matt

00:41:41.190 --> 00:41:45.530
Sadell slash Evan Bourne, I made that my finisher.

00:41:45.710 --> 00:41:50.849
That was, so now, yeah, that was. Have you ever

00:41:50.849 --> 00:41:53.110
seen that finisher before, bro? Yeah, I saw it.

00:41:53.110 --> 00:41:56.409
I've seen it a couple of times. You have to have

00:41:56.409 --> 00:41:58.929
some ups to actually do that whole maneuver.

00:41:59.309 --> 00:42:01.230
You can actually see the soles of your feet.

00:42:02.349 --> 00:42:05.130
It was so crazy. Like he would go and he would

00:42:05.130 --> 00:42:07.449
hold his legs. He would hold his legs as he's

00:42:07.449 --> 00:42:08.949
like gain, which is it's called a gainer, which

00:42:08.949 --> 00:42:11.030
is a forward backflip, right? And he would gain

00:42:11.030 --> 00:42:12.429
off the top. And when he would gain, he would

00:42:12.429 --> 00:42:14.730
hold his legs until the very last second. I would

00:42:14.730 --> 00:42:17.510
just watch just like, I just don't want to land

00:42:17.510 --> 00:42:20.010
on my back. or my my neck anymore that's really

00:42:20.010 --> 00:42:21.889
what i just don't want to do anymore so like

00:42:21.889 --> 00:42:23.889
well you want to land on your feet yeah no i

00:42:23.889 --> 00:42:26.210
want to land on my stomach you know i don't want

00:42:26.210 --> 00:42:29.309
to land on my neck right my neck and so yeah

00:42:29.309 --> 00:42:32.409
it just i i and i can just imagine the matches

00:42:32.409 --> 00:42:34.090
that if me and him were in the ring together

00:42:34.090 --> 00:42:35.909
i'm pretty sure we'd throw down because of that

00:42:35.909 --> 00:42:38.730
like Remember the first time I saw a shooting

00:42:38.730 --> 00:42:40.730
star was I think it was a Billy Billy Kidman

00:42:40.730 --> 00:42:43.090
Yeah, Billy Kidman was when he first did the

00:42:43.090 --> 00:42:46.230
shooting star in WCW. I was like wow that looks

00:42:46.230 --> 00:42:48.989
pretty freaking cool His was also crazy because

00:42:48.989 --> 00:42:52.989
he would jump and then rotate Not just like it

00:42:52.989 --> 00:42:54.710
wasn't one solid motion like the way mine is

00:42:54.710 --> 00:42:59.230
I rotate as I jump he would hop up Rotate and

00:42:59.230 --> 00:43:01.949
then land it was Yeah, it was one of the craziest

00:43:01.949 --> 00:43:04.090
things. I remember I'm kidding with the shooting

00:43:04.090 --> 00:43:08.090
star press was like in one of the OGs but other

00:43:08.090 --> 00:43:12.989
generation I'm sorry, but Just that was I don't

00:43:12.989 --> 00:43:15.170
I every time he did it I sat there like how did

00:43:15.170 --> 00:43:19.030
he survive like? He just throw himself rotated

00:43:19.030 --> 00:43:21.289
and then landed. I couldn't get the physics of

00:43:21.289 --> 00:43:25.630
it like Because he would stop in midair then

00:43:25.630 --> 00:43:33.590
begin rotating yeah rotate Yeah, I think it's

00:43:33.590 --> 00:43:38.210
rotating now I get the pause button like that's

00:43:38.210 --> 00:43:43.039
real light click like you go up wait Rotate and

00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:45.920
then just drop. Yeah, if he is I know he's the

00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:47.639
first time I saw a shooting star ever saw shooting

00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:50.599
star with with Billy Billy Kidman and the way

00:43:50.599 --> 00:43:53.420
it was it was like wow that was like one one

00:43:53.420 --> 00:43:56.500
of many High flyers, you know in the business

00:43:56.500 --> 00:44:00.059
at the time you were like dude. This is crazy

00:44:00.059 --> 00:44:03.659
Consider the fact Lucha has a lot of Lucha Libre

00:44:03.659 --> 00:44:07.519
over men in Mexico have crazy Aerodynamic jumping

00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:09.860
out of the ring fly out the type bro. Dude those

00:44:09.860 --> 00:44:16.800
those guys fly on wires, dude I don't know. No,

00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:20.000
no, no, for sure. But like a definitely that

00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:22.980
that move was super dangerous to this day. There's

00:44:22.980 --> 00:44:24.699
times I still smack the back of my feet when

00:44:24.699 --> 00:44:26.800
I land. There's still days I smack them by that.

00:44:26.900 --> 00:44:28.360
I mean, like when you're coming down, the back

00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:31.199
of my feet will smack the back of the rope as

00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:34.440
I'm coming down. So like. Luckily, my knee bends,

00:44:34.579 --> 00:44:36.219
so of course my momentum doesn't change. But

00:44:36.219 --> 00:44:38.360
there's times where I get really close to that

00:44:38.360 --> 00:44:40.019
ring where the guy's just not set up where he's

00:44:40.019 --> 00:44:42.340
supposed to set up, so sometimes I gotta adjust.

00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:44.460
I gotta open up my feet a little bit wider to

00:44:44.460 --> 00:44:46.579
get a little bit higher out and get further out.

00:44:47.099 --> 00:44:48.800
There's times that they're just a little too

00:44:48.800 --> 00:44:51.380
close, so I'm like, ugh, this is gonna hurt,

00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:54.500
and there's times where I have to kinda crouch

00:44:54.500 --> 00:44:57.099
my knees so that way I can kinda miss the ropes.

00:44:57.460 --> 00:44:59.199
I just wanna let you know this is gonna hurt

00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:02.159
me more than it's gonna hurt you. Exactly, exactly.

00:45:02.570 --> 00:45:05.030
that's exactly what that move is and like that's

00:45:05.030 --> 00:45:07.010
why I have so much respect for like like moves

00:45:07.010 --> 00:45:10.510
like that like what like pox uh red arrow that's

00:45:10.510 --> 00:45:13.349
a same concept but with a rotation right right

00:45:13.349 --> 00:45:17.409
ricochet is 6 30 or sammy graver 6 30 like right

00:45:17.409 --> 00:45:21.289
those moves hurt us more than they hurt you like

00:45:21.289 --> 00:45:25.469
yeah it's it's extremely death defying and we

00:45:25.469 --> 00:45:28.789
love it We love it here. You should see if there's

00:45:28.789 --> 00:45:31.949
any classes out there on how to pause midair

00:45:53.310 --> 00:45:56.670
Have you watched almost every single WrestleMania

00:45:56.670 --> 00:46:00.710
up to date not everyone not almost everyone but

00:46:00.710 --> 00:46:03.030
just about I want to say there might be a couple

00:46:03.030 --> 00:46:06.309
I've missed there's one in particular WrestleMania

00:46:06.309 --> 00:46:10.710
that just sent goosebumps all over My fucking

00:46:10.710 --> 00:46:13.409
body dude. It was a they were having I think

00:46:13.409 --> 00:46:17.210
it was the format tag team match it was it was

00:46:17.210 --> 00:46:20.110
a uh four tech teams going for the tag team titles

00:46:20.110 --> 00:46:22.989
they were above the ring and uh they were waiting

00:46:22.989 --> 00:46:27.369
for a fourth uh entry the new day was walking

00:46:27.369 --> 00:46:29.989
down and they're walking down they go well there's

00:46:29.989 --> 00:46:31.989
there's one more entry coming in and they're

00:46:31.989 --> 00:46:34.530
walking down they're going who and who and who

00:46:34.530 --> 00:46:40.369
and then you seriously hear the holy shit bro

00:46:40.369 --> 00:46:42.690
look i'm still getting goosebumps as we speak

00:46:42.690 --> 00:46:46.769
right now bro Ultimate feeling, bro. My wife

00:46:46.769 --> 00:46:49.949
had never seen me at the age of, I think I was

00:46:49.949 --> 00:46:57.059
like 48, 49, 40. 47, 48, 47, 46. Jump off the

00:46:57.059 --> 00:46:59.619
freaking bed, running up the hallway, banging

00:46:59.619 --> 00:47:01.619
on the wall, screaming my head off like a little

00:47:01.619 --> 00:47:05.199
girl, because it was the freaking Hardys, bro.

00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:08.280
You were 15 again, you were out in summer, you

00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:10.239
were sitting there watching the WrestleMania

00:47:10.239 --> 00:47:12.559
just about to play, you had your snacks, you

00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:16.260
had your families all riled up, and that's exactly

00:47:16.260 --> 00:47:19.159
what it became. That was, to this day, bro, the

00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:22.010
biggest pop that WrestleMania has ever had. this

00:47:22.010 --> 00:47:25.250
day i mean yes you had the aj style you had this

00:47:25.250 --> 00:47:28.929
one right here when they came out bro the it

00:47:28.929 --> 00:47:30.829
went nuts because it's even crazy because like

00:47:30.829 --> 00:47:33.550
even kids that like barely getting into wrestling

00:47:33.550 --> 00:47:36.090
know who the hardy boys are yeah i mean so like

00:47:36.090 --> 00:47:38.150
that's true that tells you a lot like that tells

00:47:38.150 --> 00:47:41.239
you their legacy like yeah And that's exactly

00:47:41.239 --> 00:47:43.960
why you start screaming like a 15 year old girl

00:47:43.960 --> 00:47:47.139
like dude it was nuts I mean the matches they've

00:47:47.139 --> 00:47:50.440
had they're Beyond classic. I mean, they're freaking

00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:53.559
monumental with way with Christian and edge with

00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:57.619
the heart with the Dudley's You know them themselves

00:47:57.619 --> 00:48:00.659
and so many other tag teams that I mean, alright,

00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:03.119
don't get wrong. The usos are great I love watching

00:48:03.119 --> 00:48:05.000
the useless fight. I want them to go back to

00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:08.969
the old face pain. I like the old usos, but Matt

00:48:08.969 --> 00:48:13.150
Hardy and Jeff man. They it's just Bro, they

00:48:13.150 --> 00:48:16.909
literally raised the bar to the maximum when

00:48:16.909 --> 00:48:20.969
they came to tag team 100 % it was it was such

00:48:20.969 --> 00:48:22.510
a great experience to watch them any time you

00:48:22.510 --> 00:48:24.750
saw them wrestle It was any match they had it

00:48:24.750 --> 00:48:26.670
was always like what's gonna happen and you see

00:48:26.670 --> 00:48:28.309
as soon as you see them get on top rope you're

00:48:28.309 --> 00:48:42.949
already like Something I would probably tell

00:48:42.949 --> 00:48:49.030
Danny was on top of the roof So there's a recording

00:48:49.030 --> 00:48:50.670
on one of the shooting star presses I did off

00:48:50.670 --> 00:48:56.230
off of the the the off of the The cage and in

00:48:56.230 --> 00:48:57.730
one of the videos you can hear the background

00:48:57.730 --> 00:49:00.750
get on the roof Get on the roof! He's gonna get

00:49:00.750 --> 00:49:03.190
on the roof! Okay, no. Don't let that get too

00:49:03.190 --> 00:49:05.250
crazy, bro. It sounds like you. That's the thing.

00:49:05.389 --> 00:49:07.210
It's like I'm hearing you talk, and I'm hearing

00:49:07.210 --> 00:49:08.949
that voice back, and I'm hearing that voice play

00:49:08.949 --> 00:49:10.809
back in my head. He's like, he won't do it. He

00:49:10.809 --> 00:49:12.750
went, get on the roof! Get on the roof! He's

00:49:12.750 --> 00:49:14.409
gonna get, he's gonna get, get on the roof! And

00:49:14.409 --> 00:49:18.150
I'm like, okay, where's me? Where were you? Where

00:49:18.150 --> 00:49:27.900
were you that day? I peeped the fan, man. You

00:49:27.900 --> 00:49:54.500
can hear him say So through your career of wrestling

00:49:54.500 --> 00:49:56.460
through the time you've been in, how long, how

00:49:56.460 --> 00:49:57.539
many years has it been already been wrestling?

00:49:57.719 --> 00:50:01.139
I'm going on 15. I started when I was 19. Nice.

00:50:01.260 --> 00:50:05.420
Yeah. I'm 34 now. It's crazy to say, but 15 years

00:50:05.420 --> 00:50:08.380
of wrestling. All right. So out of all the matches

00:50:08.380 --> 00:50:12.659
you had, give me one match that replays in your

00:50:12.659 --> 00:50:15.159
mind as like, dude, that's like one of them.

00:50:16.279 --> 00:50:18.420
most intense match and I think he's probably

00:50:18.420 --> 00:50:20.900
gonna say jumping off the cage is one of the

00:50:20.900 --> 00:50:22.980
most intense matches ever no actually no that

00:50:22.980 --> 00:50:25.139
was the most fun I had in a very long time that

00:50:25.139 --> 00:50:30.800
was for sure that spot itself is very memorable

00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:35.639
but I don't see a match that I played over and

00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:37.420
over and over and over it would probably have

00:50:37.420 --> 00:50:40.760
to be our fatal four way it was like Novum crisis

00:50:40.760 --> 00:50:43.829
I think back in the day it was called Uh, it

00:50:43.829 --> 00:50:47.309
was Danny Chance, Eric Shadows, Ray Knight, and

00:50:47.309 --> 00:50:49.750
I, and at the time we were a faction, and at

00:50:49.750 --> 00:50:51.530
the time the faction was having, you know, at

00:50:51.530 --> 00:50:54.429
Storyline, having some issues, and it was gonna

00:50:54.429 --> 00:50:57.829
be a four -way, I think, I don't remember if

00:50:57.829 --> 00:50:59.730
it was for the title, for a chance for the title,

00:50:59.809 --> 00:51:04.130
or just for something, but we went balls to the

00:51:04.130 --> 00:51:07.909
wall for no reason. Just a regular Friday, we

00:51:07.909 --> 00:51:09.550
decided, hey, this ain't a four -way, it was

00:51:09.550 --> 00:51:11.920
a four -way. That sounds really, Danny? Never

00:51:11.920 --> 00:51:14.039
use that phrase on there again, four ways, please.

00:51:15.340 --> 00:51:18.280
It's called a fatal four way, dude. Say that

00:51:18.280 --> 00:51:22.739
like that, please. It was four minds that like

00:51:22.739 --> 00:51:26.460
to go all out, all together, and that's exactly

00:51:26.460 --> 00:51:29.380
what we did in that match. And I've wrestled

00:51:29.380 --> 00:51:32.280
WWE superstars, I've wrestled former WWE superstars,

00:51:32.460 --> 00:51:34.820
legends, all and so forth. And he's saying it

00:51:34.820 --> 00:51:37.619
was for the grand words. Yeah, it was for the

00:51:37.619 --> 00:51:39.579
title. I don't remember if it was for the title,

00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:43.119
like for the chancellor title. But I remember,

00:51:43.219 --> 00:51:45.420
and we just, it was four of us just planning

00:51:45.420 --> 00:51:48.500
this. This is what I have in mind. This is what

00:51:48.500 --> 00:51:49.960
you have in mind. This is what he has in mind.

00:51:50.039 --> 00:51:52.619
We're all going to put it together. And that's

00:51:52.619 --> 00:51:54.760
what we did. We all made sure we all looked good.

00:51:54.840 --> 00:51:56.519
We made sure we all took care of each other.

00:51:56.599 --> 00:51:58.500
We made sure we all hit what we need to hit.

00:51:58.719 --> 00:52:01.119
That was the night I also got one of the worst

00:52:01.119 --> 00:52:04.030
injuries I got in my life. Four minutes into

00:52:04.030 --> 00:52:12.590
the match. Thank you, Danny chance My 15 years

00:52:12.590 --> 00:52:15.610
of wrestling I haven't yet to give any risk Right

00:52:15.610 --> 00:52:19.750
now, but I did the he wanted to dive out at the

00:52:19.750 --> 00:52:23.869
same time. I did a a dive to the outside at the

00:52:23.869 --> 00:52:26.630
time I was working on the the red arrow which

00:52:26.630 --> 00:52:30.489
is the Forward, forward, backflip with a twist.

00:52:31.269 --> 00:52:33.630
And I thought the perfect time to try it out

00:52:33.630 --> 00:52:35.750
was on the very top of the pole to the outside,

00:52:35.889 --> 00:52:38.650
which is about 10 feet off the ground. You know

00:52:38.650 --> 00:52:43.110
what I mean? It was Ray's fault. It was Ray's

00:52:43.110 --> 00:52:49.929
fault. But Chats was like, hey, man. It's always

00:52:49.929 --> 00:52:51.730
the argument between Ray and Danny. But Ray was

00:52:51.730 --> 00:52:53.630
like, hey, man, I want to dive out the same time

00:52:53.630 --> 00:52:58.059
that you dive out. Your daddy's saying, he didn't

00:52:58.059 --> 00:53:05.119
catch you by accident. So the spot was, I think,

00:53:05.340 --> 00:53:08.420
Eric and Ray were outside. I was supposed to

00:53:08.420 --> 00:53:12.179
dive on Ray. And Chance was supposed to dive

00:53:12.179 --> 00:53:16.659
on Eric. And Chance wanted to do this new dive

00:53:16.659 --> 00:53:19.360
he's working, which is like an over -the -top

00:53:19.360 --> 00:53:21.579
kind of rotation, cross -body over -the -top.

00:53:22.659 --> 00:53:25.159
And I was like, well, I guess I'll hit my rotating,

00:53:25.199 --> 00:53:26.960
my red arrow at the same time. I was like, Ray,

00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:28.420
can you catch me? Ray's like, yeah, I got you.

00:53:28.500 --> 00:53:29.760
I got you. I was like, all right, cool. You know

00:53:29.760 --> 00:53:32.880
what I mean? Well, he was wrong, though. So we

00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:35.719
get up there. And I'm on the spot. I'm waiting

00:53:35.719 --> 00:53:38.000
for Chance to hit the rope. And I'm already kind

00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:40.159
of setting up for the spot. And I hear Chance

00:53:40.159 --> 00:53:42.219
hit the rope. So I'm kind of like, all right,

00:53:42.219 --> 00:53:45.500
he's running. So I go for it. Chance dives out.

00:53:45.539 --> 00:53:48.050
I dive out at the same time. And I, uh, Ray,

00:53:48.190 --> 00:53:50.489
I guess, he wasn't certain, you know, he's never

00:53:50.489 --> 00:53:54.110
caught someone off of this rotation before. He

00:53:54.110 --> 00:53:57.409
kind of just like opens up his arms, but doesn't

00:53:57.409 --> 00:54:00.269
know how to catch me. So I can't, he kind of

00:54:00.269 --> 00:54:04.510
like anticipates one direction, but misses me

00:54:04.510 --> 00:54:06.969
completely. So instead of catching, I kind of

00:54:06.969 --> 00:54:09.610
bounce off of him. Like I didn't, it's not my

00:54:09.610 --> 00:54:12.210
momentum. My monster kind of just hit and slid

00:54:12.210 --> 00:54:14.889
down and went straight down, hit first into the

00:54:14.889 --> 00:54:18.559
concrete. Yeah, this is ten feet in the a ought

00:54:18.559 --> 00:54:21.079
to concrete this right this isn't the ring this

00:54:21.079 --> 00:54:23.659
is right Yeah, this is literally just black and

00:54:23.659 --> 00:54:27.039
I just remember the pain I remember chats in

00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:28.579
the video. It's the funniest thing because you

00:54:28.579 --> 00:54:43.730
see me both of us jump off you see It was a double

00:54:43.730 --> 00:54:46.690
corkscrew bro. It was in no double, I'm gonna

00:54:46.690 --> 00:54:51.329
tell you that right now. It was more like a triple

00:54:51.329 --> 00:54:57.730
-soik? I went up, rotated, came down, hit the

00:54:57.730 --> 00:54:59.949
concrete. Chance is getting up, like, you know,

00:55:00.050 --> 00:55:01.849
he's still selling, like, you know, dive out,

00:55:02.269 --> 00:55:05.070
body up. I'm just like, ugh, gotta work myself

00:55:05.070 --> 00:55:07.010
back to my number, holding onto the ring, like,

00:55:07.010 --> 00:55:12.909
ugh. My whole hip is just numb. I can feel the

00:55:12.909 --> 00:55:14.809
pulsing of my hip. I was going to say, you can

00:55:14.809 --> 00:55:16.730
feel your heartbeat right there. I can feel the

00:55:16.730 --> 00:55:18.889
pulsing on my hip, but I can feel like my whole

00:55:18.889 --> 00:55:21.969
leg is just numb. And I just remember just holding

00:55:21.969 --> 00:55:23.989
my hip and then turning around and just boosh.

00:55:25.989 --> 00:55:29.750
There's no timeouts in wrestling. So I was up.

00:55:30.010 --> 00:55:32.050
Chance is up. So he thought he's good to go.

00:55:32.070 --> 00:55:33.590
So I turned around and just get clocked right

00:55:33.590 --> 00:55:36.539
in the face. Just like. Well, where we go again,

00:55:36.539 --> 00:55:40.559
right again the adrenaline just everything yeah

00:55:40.559 --> 00:55:42.800
fades into the background So again, I just that

00:55:42.800 --> 00:55:45.199
was the first four or five minutes of my match

00:55:45.199 --> 00:55:47.099
graph. This match was like 20 something minutes

00:55:47.099 --> 00:55:54.780
long We went at it and it was just back and forth

00:55:54.780 --> 00:55:56.940
with everybody we had the crowd on their toes

00:55:56.940 --> 00:56:00.599
all time We got a holy shit chant. We got multiple

00:56:00.599 --> 00:56:02.679
holy shit chance. We got a standing ovation.

00:56:02.679 --> 00:56:06.710
We got just the most recognized that you can

00:56:06.710 --> 00:56:08.949
get as a wrestler as far as throwing in a show

00:56:08.949 --> 00:56:12.750
like that. But not only that, I got to wrestle

00:56:12.750 --> 00:56:15.369
with my brothers. These are the guys that I went

00:56:15.369 --> 00:56:17.949
to training with and we beat each other up day

00:56:17.949 --> 00:56:22.070
after day. Now we got to throw down in a match

00:56:22.070 --> 00:56:25.389
that was made by us. And as soon as you started

00:56:25.389 --> 00:56:27.329
the story, it's funny, because you say it was

00:56:27.329 --> 00:56:30.429
you, Danny, then you threw Eric. I'm like, oh,

00:56:30.530 --> 00:56:35.449
this is about to go south real quick. Actually,

00:56:35.530 --> 00:56:37.389
when I was hearing that story, I couldn't help

00:56:37.389 --> 00:56:41.130
but play, this sounds like a Looney Tunes cartoon.

00:56:42.389 --> 00:56:56.500
But it was, it was Chances, Bugs, Bonnie. It

00:56:56.500 --> 00:57:05.530
was intense, it was great, and it was... It was

00:57:05.530 --> 00:57:09.690
a nail in the coffin for our brotherhood. That's

00:57:09.690 --> 00:57:12.369
all it was. That's awesome, bro. It's also the

00:57:12.369 --> 00:57:15.010
fact when you're with your brothers, you say,

00:57:15.050 --> 00:57:16.750
hey, we're going to put on a kick -ass show.

00:57:16.849 --> 00:57:18.469
Let's go out there. Let's get the fans something

00:57:18.469 --> 00:57:20.429
to cheer about. I think anybody in some kind

00:57:20.429 --> 00:57:24.030
of talent, whether you're in some kind of band,

00:57:24.230 --> 00:57:27.210
in some kind of sports team, in some kind of

00:57:27.210 --> 00:57:28.489
anything that you're doing, something that's

00:57:28.489 --> 00:57:30.440
not just by yourself. And you sit there and you're

00:57:30.440 --> 00:57:32.559
like I my team has to come together such as this

00:57:32.559 --> 00:57:34.159

00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:45.980
was that was great. Like when people were entertained

people Wanted this people and that's it. That's

00:57:48.820 --> 00:57:51.019
that's what it that wrestling show was it was

00:57:51.019 --> 00:57:53.840
after that match we were just We were high on

00:57:53.840 --> 00:57:55.300
that. We were the highest we've ever been in

00:57:55.300 --> 00:57:57.780
our lives. Like it was That feeling I don't think

00:57:57.780 --> 00:58:00.260
I could ever recreate unless we have another

00:58:00.260 --> 00:58:02.179
show where it's all four of us and we throw down

00:58:02.179 --> 00:58:05.980
again and like That's the day that I pray on

00:58:05.980 --> 00:58:07.900
is because I'm not religious as a day I pray

00:58:07.900 --> 00:58:10.559

right it was I don't know it was just it's That

00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:19.059
was the best indie show that I could think of

00:58:19.059 --> 00:58:21.119
that that's as far as that I can think of day

00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:23.960
in day out and that's because I've wrestled Teddy

00:58:23.960 --> 00:58:34.260
hard I've wrestled I've wrestled these guys and

00:58:34.260 --> 00:58:35.539
like I'm not saying we've had intense matches

00:58:35.539 --> 00:58:38.000
like I've wrestled Paul London I've wrestled

00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:40.820

that was the first taste of that. That's the

00:58:55.679 --> 00:58:58.940
first taste of like actual fun as far as like

00:58:58.940 --> 00:59:01.849
in the ring other than like Little small matches

00:59:01.849 --> 00:59:04.530
that they don't they meant a lot to me at the

00:59:04.530 --> 00:59:07.789
time But as far as like now knowing that you

00:59:07.789 --> 00:59:09.849
you know what I mean? Like you uh, cuz you were

00:59:09.849 --> 00:59:11.849
you were essentially working with with family,

00:59:11.849 --> 00:59:15.429
you know, yeah I was still green like I was still

00:59:15.429 --> 00:59:17.469
I mean things like our fourth or fifth year into

00:59:17.469 --> 00:59:19.489
wrestling But even then that's still considered

00:59:19.489 --> 00:59:22.150
you're still kind of barely dipping your toes

00:59:22.150 --> 00:59:24.090
in the wrestling scene They don't mean I'm 15

00:59:24.090 --> 00:59:25.949
years into the wrestling scene now. I mean I

00:59:25.949 --> 00:59:28.739
look back I'm like I was a part of my language,

00:59:28.940 --> 00:59:30.800
and I hope anyone will get it. I was a fucking

00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:35.039
moron. I see some of the pictures. I'm like,

00:59:35.039 --> 00:59:39.079
bro, what the fuck was I thinking? The hairstyle,

00:59:39.539 --> 00:59:45.360
the gimmick, I'm just like. It's best not to

00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:51.840
think about that. You guys if you're watching

00:59:51.840 --> 00:59:55.039
the show after the podcast there's a link on

00:59:55.039 --> 00:59:58.539
the comments I guess it's that fatal four way

00:59:58.539 --> 01:00:00.280
you guys have hoping it was yeah, but you can

01:00:00.280 --> 01:00:02.320
click on that link It'll take you straight to

01:00:02.320 --> 01:00:05.760
the actual match. I got George chiming is this

01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:12.699
Teddy Hart speaking of hi Can I get a little

01:00:12.699 --> 01:00:16.139
behind the scenes on that yeah kidding He's not

01:00:16.139 --> 01:00:19.099
kidding. That boy showed up with like blood after

01:00:19.099 --> 01:00:21.920
blood and just sitting in the background in the

01:00:21.920 --> 01:00:24.800
back and like... So pretty much the chingazos

01:00:24.800 --> 01:00:27.579
didn't really hurt. I don't even think he felt

01:00:27.579 --> 01:00:29.940
it and I understood why that he would talk for

01:00:29.940 --> 01:00:31.219
30 minutes because I think he'd forget where

01:00:31.219 --> 01:00:35.900
he was. Every time he tried to get... Yes, sir.

01:00:37.500 --> 01:00:39.960
Bro, it was the craziest thing. He's like, I'm

01:00:39.960 --> 01:00:41.719
about to wrestle this guy. He's sitting there

01:00:41.719 --> 01:00:45.510
smoking up a storm and I'm like... Don't worry

01:00:45.510 --> 01:00:48.570
about it, we got him back. And that was the night

01:00:48.570 --> 01:00:53.550
I got suplex on the concrete. Afterwards, here,

01:00:53.750 --> 01:00:57.250
smoke this. You know what, I think that's what

01:00:57.250 --> 01:00:59.250
I was most disappointed, I did not get a puff.

01:00:59.989 --> 01:01:02.070
I think that's the worst part, he was like, hey

01:01:02.070 --> 01:01:05.210
man, afterwards, he was just like, that happened.

01:01:07.230 --> 01:01:10.489
That happened. Oh my God. Well, did you see that?

01:01:11.389 --> 01:01:15.599
We are an hour. A minute into the podcast. This

01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:17.900
is a great part. This is why I wanted Matt to

01:01:17.900 --> 01:01:20.340
come in because he has great storage. This guy

01:01:20.340 --> 01:01:24.579
has gone through match after match. It's like

01:01:24.579 --> 01:01:26.900
when daddy comes in also when he starts rolling

01:01:26.900 --> 01:01:29.199
bro these matches he talks about these might

01:01:29.199 --> 01:01:32.900
the experience had with different teammates wrestlers

01:01:32.900 --> 01:01:34.780
out there with him that he's wrestled man. They're

01:01:34.780 --> 01:01:37.059
fun to listen to because I would love to hear

01:01:37.059 --> 01:01:39.340
from people that were there that night. We saw

01:01:39.340 --> 01:01:44.150
these matches. I would hope this gets out there,

01:01:44.309 --> 01:01:46.590
and if y 'all were there, I'd love to hear about

01:01:46.590 --> 01:01:50.710
it. What's y 'all's pull on it? What did y 'all

01:01:50.710 --> 01:01:52.269
think of that night? What do you remember of

01:01:52.269 --> 01:01:54.130
that night? Because in wrestling terminology,

01:01:54.329 --> 01:01:56.170
we think that they're really just going to remember

01:01:56.170 --> 01:01:57.989
the ending. That's what we always tell each other.

01:01:58.389 --> 01:02:00.550
They're just going to remember the ending, but

01:02:00.550 --> 01:02:03.110
that doesn't appear to every fan. That doesn't

01:02:03.110 --> 01:02:05.409
appear to every fan. I've learned that. This

01:02:05.409 --> 01:02:07.349
is why I always, when I wrestle, I create different

01:02:07.349 --> 01:02:10.659
moments because I know that it's not that ending

01:02:10.659 --> 01:02:12.699
it's not just the ending that they're gonna remember

01:02:12.699 --> 01:02:15.519
i i've learned that fans remember little spots

01:02:15.519 --> 01:02:18.440
throughout the match yeah and that's that's that's

01:02:18.440 --> 01:02:20.920
true there our fans are evolving and i'm trying

01:02:20.920 --> 01:02:23.199
to evolve with them right i got you i got you

01:02:23.199 --> 01:02:25.619
yeah the whole scene is evolving like we've had

01:02:25.619 --> 01:02:29.920
other um newcomers to the game show up here on

01:02:29.920 --> 01:02:32.559
the show and they say like they can feel it like

01:02:32.559 --> 01:02:34.480
it's like right there in the valley you know

01:02:34.480 --> 01:02:37.019
just like right there it's about to it's it's

01:02:37.019 --> 01:02:40.280
it's it's slowly uh getting to the point where

01:02:40.280 --> 01:02:43.079
you know it's it's a must to go to these shows

01:02:43.079 --> 01:02:45.599
now on the weekend or wherever they are you need

01:02:45.599 --> 01:02:48.699
to go check this out because it's something it's

01:02:48.699 --> 01:02:50.760
been around for a while but now it's becoming

01:02:50.760 --> 01:02:53.739
like a must see when the when the season started

01:02:53.739 --> 01:02:56.139
the tickets go on sale they sell out real quick

01:02:56.219 --> 01:02:59.380
Yeah, they move. They move pretty fast. Even

01:02:59.380 --> 01:03:01.159
through our winter shows, we're throwing on shows

01:03:01.159 --> 01:03:03.039
through our winter. It was cold as hell outside,

01:03:03.039 --> 01:03:06.539
but we still be out there wrestling. They bring

01:03:06.539 --> 01:03:08.880
blankets, coats, and you name it. They were out

01:03:08.880 --> 01:03:12.440
there watching us. So we throw on 24 -7, 365.

01:03:12.579 --> 01:03:18.400
Okay, not 24 -7, but definitely 365. We'll try

01:03:18.400 --> 01:03:20.199
to hit it all year long if we could. And if our

01:03:20.199 --> 01:03:22.079
body lets us, we'll do it every day if we could.

01:03:22.360 --> 01:03:27.469
But unfortunately, it's squishing. Yeah, I hear

01:03:27.469 --> 01:03:31.289
you. We're coming close to the very end. There's

01:03:31.289 --> 01:03:35.409
one last question I want to ask you, man. When

01:03:35.409 --> 01:03:38.650
it's all said and done, finally, the day comes

01:03:38.650 --> 01:03:41.230
where the boots go in the ring, the traditional

01:03:41.230 --> 01:03:44.190
hurrah. What do you want to be remembered as,

01:03:44.210 --> 01:03:48.010
as far as your whole wrestling career? What do

01:03:48.010 --> 01:03:52.219
I want to be remembered as? I mean something

01:03:52.219 --> 01:03:54.719
new something that's a good question. I think

01:03:54.719 --> 01:03:57.280
I've ever been asked that something I want to

01:03:57.280 --> 01:04:03.119
leave behind basically something that's I Don't

01:04:03.119 --> 01:04:06.260
know that I was I was real from the get -go there

01:04:06.260 --> 01:04:12.480
was no hidden Agenda there was I'm No strings

01:04:12.480 --> 01:04:16.380
attached. I'm just just go it was wrestling all

01:04:16.380 --> 01:04:18.360
about wrestling. I hope that that's what I want

01:04:18.360 --> 01:04:20.659
to get left behind is when they talk about wrestling

01:04:20.659 --> 01:04:22.519
and wrestling gets mentioned whether it's WWE,

01:04:22.760 --> 01:04:26.880
AEW, Japan, anything when they mentioned wrestling

01:04:26.880 --> 01:04:29.159
in the valley, wrestling here in Texas even.

01:04:29.739 --> 01:04:31.099
I want them to be like, hey, did you know who

01:04:31.099 --> 01:04:33.699
Matt Wright was? You know who Matt Wright is?

01:04:34.340 --> 01:04:35.820

01:04:41.219 --> 01:04:42.739

that when they're just sitting there like yo

01:04:43.960 --> 01:04:47.000

01:04:52.039 --> 01:04:55.079
behind. My name, I want to be able to be like

01:04:55.079 --> 01:04:58.489

behind the stories. I got stories behind stories.

I got stories on top of stories. And that's because

01:05:28.360 --> 01:05:30.739
we didn't touch base with your bartending thing,

01:05:30.800 --> 01:05:33.639

01:08:20.579 --> 01:08:25.520
missed it. But I really want to see Matt and

01:08:25.520 --> 01:08:28.779
Sean go at it. Cause those two guys, you and

Sean, Sean, Sean Jones. Yes. You guys are like,

01:08:32.960 --> 01:08:35.619
I think that would be a bloody match. Honestly.

01:08:36.600 --> 01:08:39.479
Those are watching the Tik Tok. It would be a

01:08:39.479 --> 01:08:40.819
red match. There you go. I'm sorry. I didn't

01:08:40.819 --> 01:08:43.659
mean to use that word, but that would be something.

01:08:44.300 --> 01:08:47.720
Wow. You know, that would be one heck of a match.

01:08:47.979 --> 01:08:56.710
Cause all you gotta do is book it. Yeah, this

01:08:56.710 --> 01:09:00.270
would be literally the correct word, a slobberknucker.

01:09:01.050 --> 01:09:02.810
Just leave it at that, guys. Leave it at that.

01:09:02.810 --> 01:09:05.529
You heard that. You heard that live here. Anybody,

01:09:05.810 --> 01:09:08.310
any promoters listening, it'll be a hell of a

01:09:08.310 --> 01:09:10.670

01:09:12.489 --> 01:09:18.850

01:09:18.850 --> 01:09:36.050

is the podcast for the night. What do you think?

01:10:02.260 --> 01:10:03.859
What do you think about this episode, man? You

01:10:03.859 --> 01:10:07.819
know, at a certain point, a memory popped into

01:10:07.819 --> 01:10:10.180
my head. It's a memory of yours, actually. Oh,

01:10:10.279 --> 01:10:13.989
no. Didn't you tell me that? Your little brother

01:10:13.989 --> 01:10:15.850
actually caught up onto the roof to do a shooting

01:10:15.850 --> 01:10:17.829
star one. You know what, there's someone in the

01:10:17.829 --> 01:10:19.609
podcast on that one because mom's probably watching.

01:10:21.170 --> 01:10:23.850
And then someone from the crowd said, do a flambe.

01:10:24.189 --> 01:10:27.909
And he said, shut up, dude. It was a mystery

01:10:27.909 --> 01:10:31.250
person in the crowd. And that's when my brother,

01:10:31.689 --> 01:10:33.890
Quest, went to the hospital and CPS almost got

01:10:33.890 --> 01:10:43.649
caught on my mom. We do not talk about that,

01:10:43.649 --> 01:10:47.109
