41 00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:31,300 Yeah, okay, that is the big question, isn't it? 42 00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:37,300 My journey through getting into wrestling goes way back to the 90s 43 00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:46,300 Just being a kid and wrestling was a... 44 00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:49,300 It was the most popular thing really at the time 45 00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:54,300 And my parents are not wrestling people, they're not fans 46 00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:57,300 And so we didn't watch it in my house 47 00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:04,300 But in the 90s, wrestling was so popular you didn't even need to watch it to know what was going on 48 00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:08,300 You knew everyone, you knew DX 49 00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:15,300 Everyone was doing crotch chops, everybody knows DX, everybody knows Stone Cold, everybody knows The Undertaker 50 00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:18,300 I even knew Kane, and Kane and the whole... 51 00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:21,300 Because kids would just talk about, that's Kane, this is brother 52 00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:24,300 You burned down the house when they were kids, you know what I mean? 53 00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:26,300 Like the parents died 54 00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:29,300 So to me, pro wrestling was like comic books 55 00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:33,300 And I often compare wrestling to comic books in that way 56 00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:36,300 The whole consistent universe type thing 57 00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:41,300 Persistent universe that continues and just builds on itself 58 00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:48,300 And so it really kind of started as a little bit of a forbidden fruit in my life 59 00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:53,300 This cool thing that I think I liked but I wasn't allowed to watch 60 00:03:53,300 --> 00:04:00,300 And then right around the early 2000s I was able to really start watching wrestling regularly 61 00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:04,300 And then I would say that era 62 00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:10,300 Specifically the 2002, 2003 kind of SmackDown era 63 00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:13,300 So in the ruthless aggression era roughly? 64 00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:17,300 I would say that's when I first really started watching wrestling 65 00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:24,300 That's really interesting because one thing that we've talked about a few times on here is our most influential eras 66 00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:27,300 And it seems like the... 67 00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:28,300 Early 2000s 68 00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:34,300 Yeah, like even though everybody holds the attitude era in high regards 69 00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:40,300 Right now it seems like everybody we talk to has been strongly influenced by the ruthless aggression era 70 00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:43,300 Sure, well Matt, Sam 71 00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:48,300 You're two years older than me, right? You're 35, I just turned 33 72 00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:51,300 I don't know how old you are, big cat 73 00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:54,300 I just turned 30 this year 74 00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:58,300 So we're all sort of in the same era in that regard, right? 75 00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:03,300 Our generation is the one who's sort of taking the reins 76 00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:10,300 And when we were really fixating on wrestling and really gravitating towards it 77 00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:13,300 We're just past the attitude era 78 00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:19,300 And I think there's a lot of good to be had from both eras 79 00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:21,300 From just about any era of wrestling 80 00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:25,300 But what I love about ruthless aggression and that early 81 00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:30,300 Specifically the early era, that 2002, 2003 was 82 00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:37,300 I felt like watching SmackDown there was such an air of legitimacy 83 00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:43,300 Behind the wrestlers and the choice of wrestlers that they had 84 00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:49,300 With Guerrero, Benoit, Angle, Lesnar 85 00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:54,300 Just those four guys alone were probably my four favorites at that time 86 00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:59,300 And really, really strongly influenced the kind of wrestling that I like 87 00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:02,300 You just answered two questions right there 88 00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:04,300 Damn it, I'm flying through this 89 00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:07,300 No, no, no, we have plenty 90 00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:12,300 Another question was who was your most influential wrestlers 91 00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:15,300 Because we all are influenced by people 92 00:06:15,300 --> 00:06:18,300 We want to emulate those styles 93 00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:24,300 And another one was what was your favorite style of wrestling? 94 00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:26,300 Yeah, well that's the thing 95 00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:29,300 My first favorite wrestler was The Undertaker 96 00:06:29,300 --> 00:06:36,300 So when I was a kid, Taker is my favorite and then for years he's my favorite 97 00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:39,300 Potentially my all time, I don't know 98 00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:45,300 But it's interesting because his style is nothing that I ever want to emulate 99 00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:47,300 It's nothing like your style 100 00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:53,300 It's nothing like my style, I don't have his body type, I don't have his anything like that 101 00:06:53,300 --> 00:07:00,300 But when I was kids, and we were kind of talking about this I think at training in terms of the audience 102 00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:05,300 Not really knowing necessarily what's going on when it comes to chain and technical wrestling 103 00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:11,300 But me and my friends, we loved the guys who seemed technical 104 00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:17,300 And we didn't even put words to that, we didn't say I like the really technical wrestlers 105 00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:25,300 It was just, we always found ourselves liking guys like Lance Storm 106 00:07:25,300 --> 00:07:30,300 Where he was an actual, me and my friend, we loved watching him 107 00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:33,300 And we didn't really know why, you know 108 00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:40,300 And come to find out it's because I just really like really clean, cool technical wrestling 109 00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:44,300 Speaking of Lance Storm, you trained with Lance Storm, right? 110 00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:46,300 I trained with Lance Storm, yes 111 00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:49,300 So how did that come to be? 112 00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:55,300 Yeah, so I went to college for audio engineering 113 00:07:55,300 --> 00:08:02,300 So I'm doing all that, but then I get out of college and it's not what I want to do, right? 114 00:08:02,300 --> 00:08:05,300 It's not what I want to do for a living, it's what I like to do as a hobby 115 00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:12,300 So I kind of float around for a bit and then get back into wrestling 116 00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:15,300 Decide that I actually want to pursue it 117 00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:20,300 So I had always had it in my head 118 00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:23,300 Because when I wanted to be a wrestler when I was younger 119 00:08:23,300 --> 00:08:28,300 I just didn't understand how to get into it, I didn't understand indie wrestling 120 00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:32,300 I didn't go to my first indie wrestling show until like 2012 121 00:08:32,300 --> 00:08:36,300 That was actually my first live wrestling show I'd ever been to 122 00:08:36,300 --> 00:08:41,300 And so I didn't know how to get into the industry 123 00:08:41,300 --> 00:08:49,300 So as far as I knew, the only thing you could do was travel and go to some well-renowned school 124 00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:53,300 So I ended up learning about indie wrestling and everything 125 00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:56,300 But I still was sort of holding onto that nugget of like 126 00:08:56,300 --> 00:09:00,300 I want to get trained by someone really legitimate 127 00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:02,300 I want to just be able to... 128 00:09:02,300 --> 00:09:05,300 It's almost like I say it's like a college diploma 129 00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:11,300 Anybody can learn what you learn in college on your own 130 00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:14,300 But the little diploma that you hold up helps you get a job 131 00:09:14,300 --> 00:09:17,300 Because you say like, yeah, there's proof that I learned it 132 00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:23,300 And I was kind of like, I wanted to do that to just sort of be able to say that I learned it 133 00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:27,300 The right way, quote unquote, and all that stuff 134 00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:34,300 So I did a little bit of research and Lance Storm is one of the first ones that I found that had a school at the time 135 00:09:34,300 --> 00:09:40,300 And I was already, like I said, I was already a fan of his from back in the day 136 00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:43,300 And it just seemed like the right thing 137 00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:48,300 So I priced it out and worked a job for a couple years 138 00:09:48,300 --> 00:09:54,300 And lived with my parents and saved up a few thousand dollars or whatever 139 00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:58,300 And then just went to Canada 140 00:09:58,300 --> 00:10:02,300 Well, I got approved, of course, via email 141 00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:05,300 And I was like, I'm going to go to the doorstep 142 00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:07,300 It's like we're full 143 00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:11,300 So tell us a little bit about your time training with Lance Storm 144 00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:17,300 And what that was like compared to per se what we do at the dojo 145 00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:20,300 And not that one way is wrong, one way is right 146 00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:25,300 I just want to... we always stress that anytime we do these kind of comparisons 147 00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:28,300 Resources are a real thing 148 00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:29,300 Yeah 149 00:10:29,300 --> 00:10:37,300 Take us through what a regular training day was like for you with Lance Storm 150 00:10:37,300 --> 00:10:40,300 Yeah, so we train five days a week 151 00:10:40,300 --> 00:10:44,300 And we trained I think about five hours a day 152 00:10:44,300 --> 00:10:48,300 It was from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. 153 00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:52,300 And then when we were done, I'll go back to the actual training 154 00:10:52,300 --> 00:10:56,300 But then when we were done, we would normally all head off to the gym 155 00:10:56,300 --> 00:10:58,300 And then do our lifting and stuff like that 156 00:10:58,300 --> 00:11:03,300 And then we'd all hang out and then rinse and repeat 157 00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:08,300 The structure of the training, I mean 158 00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:13,300 The whole structure of the training is basically what gave me the tools to be able to help pass on the knowledge 159 00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:20,300 Because it was set up in almost a... because it was a three or three and a half month camp 160 00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:23,300 So not that long 161 00:11:23,300 --> 00:11:29,300 But the first month was almost all fundamentals 162 00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:38,300 And then the second month was sort of teaching us the, you know, shine heat finish type stuff 163 00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:41,300 And he still hadn't told us how a whole match goes together 164 00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:48,300 So he was just sort of... first he's just showing us moves and chain and grappling 165 00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:53,300 All the basics, bumping, all those basics for weeks and weeks 166 00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:57,300 And then we start putting together segments, right? 167 00:11:57,300 --> 00:12:00,300 We start learning about shine, we start learning about all that stuff 168 00:12:00,300 --> 00:12:03,300 We start learning about heat, hope spots 169 00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:07,300 And then we start learning about finishes, putting together a quick little finish 170 00:12:07,300 --> 00:12:13,300 And then by the final month, he's showing us putting all that together 171 00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:20,300 And then we ended up having a big... essentially for the last few weeks 172 00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:23,300 It might have been the last two or three weeks 173 00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:29,300 It was all like a big sort of like a round robin tournament where everybody wrestled everybody 174 00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:32,300 Everybody had a match against everybody 175 00:12:32,300 --> 00:12:35,300 We'd come in, we'd all wrestle our matches, they'd all get recorded 176 00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:40,300 And then you all sit down, you know, with Lance Storm 177 00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:44,300 And he just critiques your match 178 00:12:44,300 --> 00:12:50,300 So in terms of having like thin and thick skin and stuff like that 179 00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:55,300 That was good training because Storm's not gonna be a dick to you 180 00:12:55,300 --> 00:12:58,300 But he's gonna tell you exactly what you're doing wrong 181 00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:00,300 Right, right, absolutely 182 00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:03,300 He's gonna crack a joke here or there 183 00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:06,300 What year was that, by the way? 184 00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:10,300 That was 2016, so that was September 185 00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:15,300 September to November 2016 186 00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:27,300 So you mentioned that it gives you the tools to be able to translate it to the dojo now 187 00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:28,300 Sure 188 00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:33,300 So what tools do you feel did that prepare you for? 189 00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:41,300 Did you also ever see yourself in a coaching role like you are now? 190 00:13:41,300 --> 00:13:43,300 Like, you know, you came back 191 00:13:43,300 --> 00:13:47,300 I remember when you came back and we'll get back to your comeback 192 00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:49,300 We'll get back to that 193 00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:53,300 But you came in just training 194 00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:55,300 Yeah, just part of the crew 195 00:13:55,300 --> 00:14:05,300 You and Alexander Lee are two of my mentors in this industry 196 00:14:05,300 --> 00:14:10,300 And I look to you for advice when it comes to wrestling 197 00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:15,300 So did you ever see yourself in this position when you were in the school? 198 00:14:15,300 --> 00:14:20,300 When you were coming out, did you feel like, hey, maybe I am gonna be a coach 199 00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:24,300 Or did it just kind of happen and now you're here? 200 00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:28,300 No, I have been helping some people train 201 00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:32,300 Also, my whole family is teachers 202 00:14:32,300 --> 00:14:36,300 So I think there's some sort of affinity there in terms of 203 00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:42,300 I either have it in my genes or I just have picked it up through osmosis over the years 204 00:14:42,300 --> 00:14:45,300 But my father is a gym teacher 205 00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:48,300 My mother is a librarian and an English teacher 206 00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:50,300 My sister is a child teacher 207 00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:52,300 My grandmother was a teacher 208 00:14:52,300 --> 00:14:55,300 My whole family is just full of teachers 209 00:14:55,300 --> 00:15:01,300 And I've always said I had zero interest in teaching in any capacity 210 00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:09,300 But when we were really making Let's Wrestle 211 00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:12,300 I mean, I say we, I was a small part of that 212 00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:16,300 But when Let's Wrestle was first becoming a thing 213 00:15:16,300 --> 00:15:21,300 That's when I started helping out in terms of training some new people 214 00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:25,300 Mac Daniels, that was his first day 215 00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:30,300 In terms of showing them how to take a bump and run the ropes and stuff like that 216 00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:35,300 I think when it comes to teaching the basics in particular 217 00:15:35,300 --> 00:15:40,300 I think I have a pretty good handle on how to teach those things in particular 218 00:15:40,300 --> 00:15:43,300 I think that's kind of mostly my strong suit 219 00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:49,300 Is trying to get people more up to speed with everybody else 220 00:15:49,300 --> 00:15:53,300 To try and get everybody more to the peer level 221 00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:58,300 Where you can really start learning more and more 222 00:15:58,300 --> 00:16:07,300 Coming back to it, I mean, I've been out for four years 223 00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:10,300 Right, you took time off during COVID 224 00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:11,300 Yeah 225 00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:12,300 Right 226 00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:15,300 Yes, yeah, my partner has a lot of health issues 227 00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:20,300 And we were basically told, don't go outside 228 00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:26,300 So we stayed inside and we didn't come outside until we got the A-OK from the doctors 229 00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:29,300 Which took about four years 230 00:16:29,300 --> 00:16:32,300 And then we start, I start slowly coming out 231 00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:35,300 But when I was coming back 232 00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:39,300 The last thing I was thinking was I'm going to come out and be like a teacher 233 00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:43,300 And honestly the last thing that I was thinking was that someone was going to 234 00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:47,300 Consider me a mentor in any way, shape or form 235 00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:50,300 I'm coming back to this thinking 236 00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:54,300 I have to, I got to come back and earn everybody's respect 237 00:16:54,300 --> 00:16:58,300 Because whatever I was before 238 00:16:58,300 --> 00:17:00,300 Like Let's Wrestle Champion 239 00:17:00,300 --> 00:17:08,300 Maybe I was a guy who was around a lot in terms of setting up the ring and being there 240 00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:11,300 Well for four years I haven't been that guy 241 00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:14,300 So to me, the guys who have been here 242 00:17:14,300 --> 00:17:19,300 Who have been setting up and tearing down the ring 243 00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:22,300 Making the drives, doing the shows 244 00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:25,300 And actually fostering this incredible 245 00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:30,300 Really incredible like local wrestling community that we have right now in Maine 246 00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:32,300 I wasn't there for any of that 247 00:17:32,300 --> 00:17:36,300 So I was like, I'm coming back to it not expecting anything from anyone 248 00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:38,300 That's why I was like, I just want to train 249 00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:42,300 I just want to be one of the guys again 250 00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:44,300 And just get in there and work 251 00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:49,300 So you feel like you need to basically earn your spot back 252 00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:51,300 Is what you're basically saying 253 00:17:51,300 --> 00:17:53,300 Yeah, absolutely 254 00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:57,300 And everybody's been really ridiculously kind to me 255 00:17:57,300 --> 00:18:02,300 And I think that's a wrestling thing too in terms of 256 00:18:02,300 --> 00:18:07,300 Respecting your elders or vets if you can even call me that 257 00:18:07,300 --> 00:18:12,300 But you know, it's been great and everybody's been super cool basically 258 00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:14,300 I was going to say, well you're kind of selling yourself short 259 00:18:14,300 --> 00:18:16,300 Because you're a pretty nice guy 260 00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:21,300 Yeah, you're 100% not giving yourself enough credit 261 00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:29,300 Because like I said, I've had the great opportunity to 262 00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:34,300 Really train with you since you came back 263 00:18:34,300 --> 00:18:40,300 I've had that opportunity and I don't kid around when I call someone a mentor 264 00:18:40,300 --> 00:18:43,300 But that's what you have bet 265 00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:51,300 And you sell yourself short a lot of times even in your in-ring ability 266 00:18:51,300 --> 00:18:56,300 Your timing is really, really good and timing is so important 267 00:18:56,300 --> 00:18:58,300 Oh, thank you 268 00:18:58,300 --> 00:18:59,300 Thank you 269 00:18:59,300 --> 00:19:07,300 So I'm not surprised seeing you in a coaching role because of all these intangibles that you do have 270 00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:16,300 And I'm sure it's humbling coming back with the love and adoration that you really have come back to 271 00:19:16,300 --> 00:19:21,300 Yeah, it's, no truly, I mean 272 00:19:21,300 --> 00:19:25,300 Now I have issues in terms of 273 00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:31,300 When I go into a social situation I typically think everybody here fucking hates me 274 00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:36,300 And even if the person is telling me that they like me 275 00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:42,300 It's very hard for me sometimes to convince myself this person actually likes me 276 00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:44,300 I feel you 277 00:19:44,300 --> 00:19:47,300 And I think just about, we're all a bunch of just weirdos in wrestling 278 00:19:47,300 --> 00:19:50,300 We're just a bunch of awkward dorks 279 00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:58,300 Every time I get out of wrestling, out of training, I'm like, god I bet I was fucking annoying today 280 00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:00,300 Yeah, exactly 281 00:20:00,300 --> 00:20:01,300 Every time 282 00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:03,300 I'll tell you a funny story 283 00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:08,300 So I literally had myself convinced at one time 284 00:20:08,300 --> 00:20:14,300 That everybody was protecting me in the wrestling business 285 00:20:14,300 --> 00:20:17,300 Because I was absolutely god-awful 286 00:20:17,300 --> 00:20:22,300 But they just, because I'm a nice person they just wanted me around 287 00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:26,300 So that they weren't telling me the truth 288 00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:34,300 Like I had myself convinced that just like, people just enjoyed having me around 289 00:20:34,300 --> 00:20:37,300 But I was an absolute dogshit wrestler 290 00:20:37,300 --> 00:20:40,300 But I understand 291 00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:44,300 It's such a convoluted scenario we build for ourselves too 292 00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:48,300 Like, you're so convinced of all these plot points 293 00:20:48,300 --> 00:20:50,300 Absolutely 294 00:20:50,300 --> 00:20:55,300 And it's like, it's one of those humbling things when you can convince yourself 295 00:20:55,300 --> 00:20:58,300 Man, nobody even is fucking thinking about me 296 00:20:58,300 --> 00:21:00,300 You know what I mean? 297 00:21:00,300 --> 00:21:02,300 It's like, yeah, it's so funny 298 00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:05,300 But that's, you guys know exactly where I'm coming from 299 00:21:05,300 --> 00:21:08,300 So coming back to it again 300 00:21:08,300 --> 00:21:11,300 It's sort of like, I'm not expecting anything from anyone 301 00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:15,300 If anything, I'm thinking people are gonna go, this fucking old guy 302 00:21:15,300 --> 00:21:18,300 He's showing up, he hasn't been here for four years 303 00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:20,300 And now he just wants to pick up where he

limitless dojo and actually someone who's trained a little bit under classic Calvin strange 515 00:33:25,300 --> 00:33:28,300 A little bouncy 516 00:33:28,300 --> 00:33:35,300 Gonna be a very interesting dynamic in this matchup to see how much mac daniel truly knows and how much Calvin strange knows about mac daniel 517 00:33:35,300 --> 00:33:43,300 In this we're just right here we're just I mean you guys know this but I can't help but commentate when I watch it matches 518 00:33:43,300 --> 00:33:52,300 But we're just messing around here 519 00:33:52,300 --> 00:33:57,300 Should be able to see a young 520 00:33:57,300 --> 00:34:05,300 G what the big out crisis here 521 00:34:05,300 --> 00:34:08,300 Is this panic at the dojo 522 00:34:08,300 --> 00:34:13,300 No this was I don't know this was just back 523 00:34:13,300 --> 00:34:20,300 We used to just do dojo tapings the day after a let's wrestle show 524 00:34:20,300 --> 00:34:28,300 So yeah we would do from we would do we would do the let's wrestle show 525 00:34:28,300 --> 00:34:32,300 And then next day at like noon 526 00:34:32,300 --> 00:34:37,300 We come in and do this 527 00:34:37,300 --> 00:34:42,300 I'm not doing too bad here I usually hate watching myself rattle 528 00:34:42,300 --> 00:34:47,300 I'm pretty impressed that guy is going somewhere 529 00:34:47,300 --> 00:34:52,300 But 530 00:34:52,300 --> 00:35:01,300 As he sends the champ now if I do remember something about this match I do have a very long shine here because I'm still champion at this point 531 00:35:01,300 --> 00:35:04,300 Shoulder bicep and 532 00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:13,300 I'm not used to working baby either actually you know I'm deep into doing heal stuff here but 533 00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:18,300 Max more was more comfortable doing heal 534 00:35:18,300 --> 00:35:21,300 From the main attraction 535 00:35:21,300 --> 00:35:25,300 Max would put a stick around but he's pulling it out 536 00:35:25,300 --> 00:35:29,300 Now it's Calvin Strangely looking her way out as he backs it into the ropes 537 00:35:29,300 --> 00:35:31,300 I'm very low 538 00:35:31,300 --> 00:35:36,300 I think it turned the map dog down a little bit maybe 539 00:35:36,300 --> 00:35:39,300 Off the ropes comes Daniels 540 00:35:39,300 --> 00:35:42,300 There we go that's a little easier 541 00:35:42,300 --> 00:35:45,300 Bang 542 00:35:45,300 --> 00:35:54,300 Yeah, Mac, he's doing yeah right there actually if you rewind that that was a fun little thing I remember throwing in here that 543 00:35:54,300 --> 00:35:59,300 You don't always see which is if you go further back I hit him with the 544 00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:08,300 Yeah, yeah, I had him with one he goes over I hit him with another he slightly trips and then I hit him with the third and then he actually goes down 545 00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:16,300 And as you notice all the wrestlers are now popping because because nobody goes down from actually goes down from a 546 00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:27,300 From a drop down right yeah I say I always like those little things that make the wrestlers kind of kind of pop a bit because they're not expecting it you know 547 00:36:27,300 --> 00:36:32,300 I mean we get so comfortable doing certain things in our matches 548 00:36:32,300 --> 00:36:35,300 Because it's what we're comfortable with and what we know 549 00:36:35,300 --> 00:36:45,300 Yeah, there's some wrestlers right now who really need to change things up because you can kind of call how their match is going to go before 550 00:36:45,300 --> 00:36:47,300 Right 551 00:36:47,300 --> 00:36:49,300 They even wrestle 552 00:36:49,300 --> 00:36:52,300 I gotta work on that really bad 553 00:36:52,300 --> 00:36:59,300 I mean I gotta work on some more creative cutoffs and stuff like that so that's something we can work on in practice at some point 554 00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:09,300 So but it absolutely like doing things that aren't necessarily the normal is super beneficial 555 00:37:09,300 --> 00:37:11,300 That was dope 556 00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:12,300 Not bad 557 00:37:12,300 --> 00:37:16,300 Little missile drop kick 558 00:37:16,300 --> 00:37:18,300 And he is puckin' Mac Daniels 559 00:37:18,300 --> 00:37:21,300 You gonna bring back that missile drop kick? 560 00:37:21,300 --> 00:37:22,300 I'll take it 561 00:37:22,300 --> 00:37:29,300 In a variation actually yes I've been working on a variation 562 00:37:29,300 --> 00:37:33,300 You both can take it 563 00:37:33,300 --> 00:37:35,300 There's not much I don't like 564 00:37:35,300 --> 00:37:42,300 I still gotta work on coming down on my like doing head bumps like pile drivers and stuff I've never taken a pile driver 565 00:37:42,300 --> 00:37:43,300 Sure 566 00:37:43,300 --> 00:37:45,300 That's the next thing I need to do 567 00:37:45,300 --> 00:37:48,300 Yeah I need to take more too honestly 568 00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:53,300 Making sure Mac Daniels knows who's in charge of this contest and now Calvin 569 00:37:53,300 --> 00:37:56,300 Just way way in him 570 00:37:56,300 --> 00:37:58,300 He's flying the shit out of him Mac 571 00:37:58,300 --> 00:38:00,300 Here comes Calvin 572 00:38:00,300 --> 00:38:02,300 Oh 573 00:38:02,300 --> 00:38:04,300 Oh 574 00:38:04,300 --> 00:38:10,300 From Mac Daniels who hooks Calvin center of the ring into the spine 575 00:38:10,300 --> 00:38:13,300 That's the I died way too hard there 576 00:38:13,300 --> 00:38:17,300 He may have actually hit me pretty hard that I can't remember 577 00:38:17,300 --> 00:38:19,300 It looked a little stiff 578 00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:23,300 I think he might have hit me a little hard and I might have actually been winded a little bit 579 00:38:23,300 --> 00:38:24,300 I can't remember 580 00:38:24,300 --> 00:38:31,300 There's a couple times here that they've looked a few stiff shots that you've taken 581 00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:32,300 I gave him a few 582 00:38:32,300 --> 00:38:37,300 We didn't mind being snug with each other 583 00:38:37,300 --> 00:38:42,300 I was gonna say I think the dojo thing is hit hard apologize after 584 00:38:42,300 --> 00:38:46,300 Yeah yeah right exactly especially when it's a live setting right 585 00:38:46,300 --> 00:38:48,300 Make it believable 586 00:38:48,300 --> 00:38:51,300 I'd rather you look good and hurt me 587 00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:53,300 He's a limitless wrestler wherever he goes 588 00:38:53,300 --> 00:38:55,300 Every single match I've ever done 589 00:38:55,300 --> 00:38:59,300 So there's that backing away I wish he just wouldn't back away just as far right there 590 00:38:59,300 --> 00:39:03,300 But this is a very early Mac Daniels you gotta understand 591 00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:04,300 Yeah 592 00:39:04,300 --> 00:39:07,300 I mean he still hadn't had a whole lot of matches 593 00:39:07,300 --> 00:39:15,300 What we're taught like part of that like basic is that big wide cell 594 00:39:15,300 --> 00:39:16,300 Right 595 00:39:16,300 --> 00:39:20,300 You know to create space and to create time and create you know not to be quick 596 00:39:20,300 --> 00:39:25,300 So it is a different thing when you're now transitioning into matches and you're like 597 00:39:25,300 --> 00:39:30,300 Well it doesn't make sense that I'm taking a stroll through the park right now 598 00:39:30,300 --> 00:39:31,300 Right 599 00:39:31,300 --> 00:39:36,300 Or Alexander Lee when you circle up he fucking hates that you know 600 00:39:36,300 --> 00:39:39,300 If we're doing a real fight we wouldn't fucking circle up we're just going at each other 601 00:39:39,300 --> 00:39:48,300 I get what he's saying with that is that there's a way to do the circle to make it look less like more wrestling shit 602 00:39:48,300 --> 00:39:53,300 You know it's like you gotta make the circle but make it look a little interesting 603 00:39:53,300 --> 00:39:54,300 Right 604 00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:57,300 Or don't do it at all 605 00:39:57,300 --> 00:40:00,300 And here comes Calvin 606 00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:06,300 That was so low 607 00:40:06,300 --> 00:40:09,300 Yeah a little low 608 00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:14,300 Some of us say Jeepers Creepers Creepers 609 00:40:14,300 --> 00:40:16,300 Jeepers Creepers 610 00:40:16,300 --> 00:40:19,300 Now you know it's a big match 611 00:40:19,300 --> 00:40:22,300 And they got crowds standing Jeepers Creepers 612 00:40:22,300 --> 00:40:26,300 Recently defeating Scott Wilde and Danger Kid 613 00:40:26,300 --> 00:40:30,300 Two guys who were pillars of limitless wrestling throughout the first few years 614 00:40:30,300 --> 00:40:33,300 And now L he can become the Let's Wrestle Champion 615 00:40:33,300 --> 00:40:37,300 And there's no reason if he walks out here today as the Let's Wrestle Champion 616 00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:41,300 That he can't be considered for limitless wrestling action full time 617 00:40:41,300 --> 00:40:44,300 And that's what everyone in Let's Wrestle is striving for 618 00:40:44,300 --> 00:40:48,300 Yeah I haven't watched this match in a long time 619 00:40:48,300 --> 00:40:50,300 Another Lariat 620 00:40:50,300 --> 00:40:52,300 Now I'm not dying 621 00:40:52,300 --> 00:40:54,300 Yeah yeah yeah 622 00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:56,300 There's some selling 623 00:40:56,300 --> 00:40:59,300 And I like doing this right crawl up using the guys legs 624 00:40:59,300 --> 00:41:01,300 Create that kind of visual 625 00:41:01,300 --> 00:41:04,300 Let them look way better 626 00:41:04,300 --> 00:41:06,300 Talking for a minute 627 00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:09,300 Jobbreaker where are we going with this 628 00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:11,300 Weak Lariat 629 00:41:11,300 --> 00:41:15,300 I'm gassed 630 00:41:15,300 --> 00:41:17,300 I can tell I'm fucking gassed 631 00:41:17,300 --> 00:41:18,300 Bad pump kick 632 00:41:18,300 --> 00:41:20,300 Oh angle slam 633 00:41:20,300 --> 00:41:22,300 That was good 634 00:41:22,300 --> 00:41:25,300 Gotta hit some of those now 635 00:41:25,300 --> 00:41:28,300 Yeah I gotta bring that back 636 00:41:28,300 --> 00:41:31,300 I love being blown up it's like oh my god this fucking sucks 637 00:41:31,300 --> 00:41:34,300 Are we done yet 638 00:41:34,300 --> 00:41:36,300 That's when you're getting your cardio 639 00:41:36,300 --> 00:41:39,300 That's when you're getting your best cardio 640 00:41:39,300 --> 00:41:41,300 It's like fuck off for a minute 641 00:41:41,300 --> 00:41:45,300 I was doing a Fujiwara arm bar as a finish 642 00:41:45,300 --> 00:41:48,300 So I think that's what we're teasing right there 643 00:41:48,300 --> 00:41:51,300 Oh and then this thing that's right 644 00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:55,300 This might be 645 00:41:55,300 --> 00:42:00,300 Like a little reverse Shenin wizard into sort of like a disarmor kind of thing 646 00:42:00,300 --> 00:42:03,300 That was dope I liked that 647 00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:09,300 So that might that knee to the back thing that might make a return to 648 00:42:09,300 --> 00:42:14,300 I could have given it more I was being selfish in this match 649 00:42:14,300 --> 00:42:15,300 You're the champ 650 00:42:15,300 --> 00:42:18,300 I was the champion I was up against this new fucking good looking guy 651 00:42:18,300 --> 00:42:24,300 Looks like he's gonna get signed tomorrow I gotta make myself look good you know 652 00:42:24,300 --> 00:42:29,300 Not bad not bad I enjoyed that better 653 00:42:29,300 --> 00:42:33,300 I have a lot of trouble especially at the time had a lot of trouble watching 654 00:42:33,300 --> 00:42:35,300 Watching my own stuff back 655 00:42:35,300 --> 00:42:39,300 Was that match like fresh out of land storm 656 00:42:39,300 --> 00:42:47,300 No no that's this had to have been a year or two after 657 00:42:47,300 --> 00:42:51,300 I had already been fairly weathered by this one 658 00:42:51,300 --> 00:42:55,300 It's still fairly fresh but I just mean in terms of 659 00:42:55,300 --> 00:43:00,300 I've had at least a year and a half to two years of doing 660 00:43:00,300 --> 00:43:02,300 Wrestling matches you know 661 00:43:02,300 --> 00:43:07,300 Several disciplines I was champ so you know 662 00:43:07,300 --> 00:43:13,300 By that point I would by the point that I was champ I would no longer consider myself 663 00:43:13,300 --> 00:43:18,300 Excuse me I wouldn't have considered myself fresh out of training 664 00:43:18,300 --> 00:43:23,300 But Mac was Mac was I would call Mac fresh out of training in that match 665 00:43:23,300 --> 00:43:26,300 Yep yep yep 666 00:43:26,300 --> 00:43:33,300 All right so what is the worst bump that you've ever taken 667 00:43:33,300 --> 00:43:37,300 Yeah this one actually I thought of when we were talking about at the last show 668 00:43:37,300 --> 00:43:40,300 When you brought this up 669 00:43:40,300 --> 00:43:46,300 No it's well it's a bump it's not exactly a bump but so 670 00:43:46,300 --> 00:43:55,300 IWE wrestling in Fairfield so back at the building that that lets us running 671 00:43:55,300 --> 00:44:05,300 Yep right now and I don't even remember who I'm tagging with 672 00:44:05,300 --> 00:44:11,300 Weirdly I legitimately can't think of who I'm tagging with but I'm tagging against the 673 00:44:11,300 --> 00:44:14,300 Middlesex Express do you guys know who they are 674 00:44:14,300 --> 00:44:15,300 I'm not familiar 675 00:44:15,300 --> 00:44:18,300 Okay I wasn't sure if they do anything up here anymore 676 00:44:18,300 --> 00:44:22,300 Two cool guys but one of them Stephen Lust 677 00:44:22,300 --> 00:44:23,300 I know Stephen Lust 678 00:44:23,300 --> 00:44:27,300 You know Stephen Lust okay perfect great so you know Stephen Lust so 679 00:44:27,300 --> 00:44:30,300 I'll put him on the spot 680 00:44:30,300 --> 00:44:36,300 So he gives me a snap there I'm sitting in the middle of the ring 681 00:44:36,300 --> 00:44:41,300 And I'll say too I've only been wrestling for like probably six months at this point 682 00:44:41,300 --> 00:44:42,300 Okay 683 00:44:42,300 --> 00:44:50,300 And he hits the rope it's it's so simple he hits the ropes comes back and stomps me 684 00:44:50,300 --> 00:44:58,300 And he stomps me right in the throat really hard so hard that for I would say five to 685 00:44:58,300 --> 00:45:05,300 Ten seconds I was sort of thinking I'm gonna die in the ring and come to find out you can 686 00:45:05,300 --> 00:45:09,300 Actually get something messed up there if you get hit in your neck a little too hard 687 00:45:09,300 --> 00:45:14,300 There is something that can go the wrong way and then the air will no longer be able to 688 00:45:14,300 --> 00:45:20,300 Come in and it felt like that for like ten seconds I mean I was down I couldn't talk 689 00:45:20,300 --> 00:45:29,300 Or anything and I actually couldn't I actually couldn't sing for like two years 690 00:45:29,300 --> 00:45:39,300 It like literally it like literally my like voice registry dropped for like a year and 691 00:45:39,300 --> 00:45:44,300 Then for like another year after that I couldn't hit certain like high notes because I sang 692 00:45:44,300 --> 00:45:50,300 And so like it was just like it was absolutely brutal so he hits the ropes he came back and 693 00:45:50,300 --> 00:45:55,300 I think he snapped near me too close or something I think I was just snapping there just too 694 00:45:55,300 --> 00:46:03,300 Close and he hit me boom and I just went over and like it's like getting the wind knocked 695 00:46:03,300 --> 00:46:08,300 Out of you but then your throat such a weird feeling you just can't breathe for like five 696 00:46:08,300 --> 00:46:14,300 Seconds and you're just like in those five seconds you're like am I never gonna breathe 697 00:46:14,300 --> 00:46:19,300 Again you know like you just have no idea it was five seconds last forever and then 698 00:46:19,300 --> 00:46:23,300 You slowly start breathing again okay I think I'm good I think I'm good and then you're 699 00:46:23,300 --> 00:46:29,300 Like I'm alright but that was honestly that was the scariest scariest bump that I've that 700 00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:39,300 I've taken scariest like yeah just something so simple that yeah do all the time and like 701 00:46:39,300 --> 00:46:43,300 Every injury I've ever had has always been from something like stupid and small it's 702 00:46:43,300 --> 00:46:51,300 Never been from something big and cool I mean Mike when I had my last match with McCarthy 703 00:46:51,300 --> 00:46:57,300 In the start first like 60 seconds of the match he suplexes me out of the ring to the 704 00:46:57,300 --> 00:47:04,300 Floor and that didn't hurt as much as getting kicked in the throat did that didn't hurt as 705 00:47:04,300 --> 00:47:11,300 Much as getting kicked in the throat yeah so listen to Ghostface Killer and Protect Your 706 00:47:11,300 --> 00:47:20,300 Neck. Protect your neck? What's the worst bump that you've seen? 707 00:47:20,300 --> 00:47:28,300 The worst bump that I've seen oh my god well is it bumps in person or is it just things 708 00:47:28,300 --> 00:47:32,300 That we've seen online or whatever you would like? 709 00:47:32,300 --> 00:47:43,300 God the worst bump that I ever have seen that has to be that guy did like a double moon 710 00:47:43,300 --> 00:47:52,300 Salt or a double shooting star glass I mean directly I mean perpendicular with the bat 711 00:47:52,300 --> 00:47:59,300 I mean he and it sounds like a gunshot when he hits I think I know what you're talking 712 00:47:59,300 --> 00:48:05,300 About because it was everywhere because he then kicked out or like got him shoulder up 713 00:48:05,300 --> 00:48:13,300 Yeah and you could see his opponent like he ended up breaking his skull 714 00:48:13,300 --> 00:48:23,300 It was the grossest it was disgusting I mean it's terrifying it's like almost chilling 715 00:48:23,300 --> 00:48:28,300 To watch that clip well it's obviously chilling because the audience goes completely silent 716 00:48:28,300 --> 00:48:33,300 I mean there's a pin drop silence in there I mean people are wondering if this guy literally 717 00:48:33,300 --> 00:48:40,300 Died in front of them and then the guy comes over and he gets kicked out 718 00:48:40,300 --> 00:48:45,300 This is the craziest this is the nastiest bump I've ever seen in my life I don't know 719 00:48:45,300 --> 00:48:48,300 If anything I hope nothing ever tops this 720 00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:51,300 I'm assuming you're talking about this one right here 721 00:48:51,300 --> 00:48:56,300 Yeah this is gotta be it 722 00:48:56,300 --> 00:48:59,300 I'm like nervous to watch it 723 00:48:59,300 --> 00:49:01,300 Yeah this is rough 724 00:49:01,300 --> 00:49:06,300 This is unbelievable 725 00:49:06,300 --> 00:49:09,300 Look everyone's cheering everyone's clapping everyone's making noise 726 00:49:09,300 --> 00:49:13,300 You're about to hear them go completely silent 727 00:49:13,300 --> 00:49:18,300 Even prayed 728 00:49:18,300 --> 00:49:21,300 I don't know how he's dead 729 00:49:21,300 --> 00:49:22,300 Dead silent 730 00:49:22,300 --> 00:49:26,300 Yeah I don't know how he's not dead or paralyzed from that 731 00:49:26,300 --> 00:49:31,300 And then one two three four 732 00:49:31,300 --> 00:49:32,300 Dead silent 733 00:49:32,300 --> 00:49:37,300 Yeah they're just like dude it's done let it go 734 00:49:37,300 --> 00:49:40,300 Yeah don't 735 00:49:40,300 --> 00:49:43,300 Someone started to freaking clap yeah not half of them 736 00:49:43,300 --> 00:49:44,300 Yeah 737 00:49:44,300 --> 00:49:49,300 I mean I can't I cannot think of a worse I can't think of a worse bump 738 00:49:49,300 --> 00:49:52,300 If you can call it a bump 739 00:49:52,300 --> 00:49:57,300 The only one that like comes to mind was the other one that we talked about here 740 00:49:57,300 --> 00:50:00,300 Where the girl got scorpion right at let's 741 00:50:00,300 --> 00:50:04,300 Oh yeah sure yeah that was right before 742 00:50:04,300 --> 00:50:06,300 The only other one yeah 743 00:50:06,300 --> 00:50:11,300 Yeah that and I didn't see that because I was talking over my match with Jossie 744 00:50:11,300 --> 00:50:12,300 Oh no shit 745 00:50:12,300 --> 00:50:17,300 Because we were in the main and so we're downstairs there's two more matches left 746 00:50:17,300 --> 00:50:23,300 That match then Davey and and Masha slam a bitch 747 00:50:23,300 --> 00:50:31,300 And and then it's us in the main so we're sitting there talking and then yeah we we heard about what happens 748 00:50:31,300 --> 00:50:40,300 We eventually see her come through or whatever not dead but I just remember Randy Randy essentially 749 00:50:40,300 --> 00:50:43,300 Hyping us up before the match and coming over and saying 750 00:50:43,300 --> 00:50:47,300 I don't know what the fuck you guys have to do but you get that audience back into this 751 00:50:47,300 --> 00:50:50,300 Because they are they are mortified right now 752 00:50:50,300 --> 00:50:56,300 Like I had never seen that and just seeing her literally scorpion herself was oh 753 00:50:56,300 --> 00:51:02,300 Oh man I don't man I mean I don't think she wrestles anymore I don't think that was the thing that stopped but 754 00:51:02,300 --> 00:51:04,300 I mean I wouldn't blame her 755 00:51:04,300 --> 00:51:06,300 I wouldn't blame her either 756 00:51:06,300 --> 00:51:08,300 What do you got here 757 00:51:08,300 --> 00:51:13,300 This is a my first match with a with Mr. Aiden Agro 758 00:51:13,300 --> 00:51:18,300 Now this you want to talk about fresh training 759 00:51:18,300 --> 00:51:24,300 Oh this is the DDT 760 00:51:24,300 --> 00:51:31,300 Now that this match that match that's fresh out of training Calvin 761 00:51:31,300 --> 00:51:34,300 Especially if you see me wearing those orange tights 762 00:51:34,300 --> 00:51:39,300 If you see me wearing those orange tights that's like I don't know what I'm doing yet 763 00:51:39,300 --> 00:51:45,300 Like I'm out of training I think I know what I'm doing and then the moment I'm there 764 00:51:45,300 --> 00:51:52,300 Well maybe next pair sessions will watch a old school Calvin match and we'll give our critiques 765 00:51:52,300 --> 00:51:56,300 That would be funny my first match is on YouTube 766 00:51:56,300 --> 00:51:57,300 Okay 767 00:51:57,300 --> 00:51:58,300 So 768 00:51:58,300 --> 00:52:01,300 Make it a point that we're gonna watch that 769 00:52:01,300 --> 00:52:02,300 Yeah 770 00:52:02,300 --> 00:52:07,300 Alright so I know your time is is is limited and we don't want to keep you too long 771 00:52:07,300 --> 00:52:10,300 And I know big cats got stuff going on as well 772 00:52:10,300 --> 00:52:13,300 So I got three more questions for you and 773 00:52:13,300 --> 00:52:14,300 Sure lay them on me 774 00:52:14,300 --> 00:52:18,300 What's your favorite title belt of all time 775 00:52:18,300 --> 00:52:23,300 Ooh so we're just going for aesthetic or are we going for everything or 776 00:52:23,300 --> 00:52:25,300 Whatever no it's your choice 777 00:52:25,300 --> 00:52:30,300 Like for me my favorite title belt of all time is the big gold 778 00:52:30,300 --> 00:52:31,300 Sure 779 00:52:31,300 --> 00:52:32,300 That title just 780 00:52:32,300 --> 00:52:33,300 Great choice 781 00:52:33,300 --> 00:52:38,300 It's just the one that resonated with me I always wanted to hold that belt 782 00:52:38,300 --> 00:52:39,300 Sure 783 00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:45,300 People who wore that belt are some of my favorites so it's just that's my favorite belt of all time 784 00:52:45,300 --> 00:52:46,300 Good choice 785 00:52:46,300 --> 00:52:47,300 What's yours 786 00:52:47,300 --> 00:52:53,300 I would have to say if if someone was putting a gun to my head and forced me to pick my favorite title 787 00:52:53,300 --> 00:53:00,300 I would say it would be the the controversial and I've gotten in an argument with Alec Price over this before 788 00:53:00,300 --> 00:53:01,300 Okay 789 00:53:01,300 --> 00:53:15,300 Undisputed championship the original WWE undisputed championship aka the one that became the Smackdown championship for a short period of time until John Cena turned it into the spinner I believe 790 00:53:15,300 --> 00:53:18,300 Yeah yeah yeah yeah um 791 00:53:18,300 --> 00:53:20,300 So 792 00:53:20,300 --> 00:53:23,300 Chris Jericho held it for a while right 793 00:53:23,300 --> 00:53:39,300 Well Jericho was the first undisputed but he never had the actual belt because when he had it it was still the two titles it was the big gold and then it was the the whatever you call it the attitude as era like eagle belts 794 00:53:39,300 --> 00:53:41,300 Like the Stone Cold belt 795 00:53:41,300 --> 00:53:44,300 You're talking about 796 00:53:44,300 --> 00:53:46,300 Let me share my screen 797 00:53:46,300 --> 00:53:51,300 I think the first person to have the actual belt might have been Hulk Hogan 798 00:53:51,300 --> 00:54:07,300 Because Triple H then beat Jericho at eight resume 18 and he only held it for a month and then Hulk Hogan run it from that's the one. And that doesn't show the whole belt because the one of the things I like about is I like all the plates on the sides. 799 00:54:07,300 --> 00:54:09,300 Yeah. 800 00:54:09,300 --> 00:54:24,300 It was this. It was kind of funny. The little things that kids fixate on and think are so cool but we were all talking about how there are five plates on the side of it like one side has three and one side has two. 801 00:54:24,300 --> 00:54:28,300 And that just to us made it seem like it was more valuable. 802 00:54:28,300 --> 00:54:49,300 Yep. And, and we knew the implications behind the belt the whole undisputed champion thing was like new. And it just seems like such a big deal like oh my god they're. These guys are the truly greatest champions of all time because they're the WCW champion and the WWF champion. 803 00:54:49,300 --> 00:55:06,300 So that belt. And then it was like that belt, just the way it looked on specifically the way that belt looked on Brock Lesnar. Yeah, just like, look so good around his waist, and just like that's my champion that's that was like my era. 804 00:55:06,300 --> 00:55:18,300 That was the belt that I was like I want to be that champion you know, want to be on the speed so I'd have to put that in there. I'd have to put in honorable mentions for. 805 00:55:18,300 --> 00:55:22,300 I would say big gold definitely on there. 806 00:55:22,300 --> 00:55:38,300 I would say the attitude era, not stone colds custom belt but the one that he's sort of known for having. Yep. And then, few others I do like a lot of belts, European title, love it. 807 00:55:38,300 --> 00:55:54,300 The tag team titles from the late 90s early 2000s. Typically the ones that you saw like the TLC teams fighting over. Absolutely love those because they're like huge they're like really big looking. 808 00:55:54,300 --> 00:56:09,300 Try to think is there any others, I don't want to leave anything indie belts that like catch your eye. Any indie belt well the very beautiful limitless wrestling belt of course that was like just incredible seeing the pictures of that first time. 809 00:56:09,300 --> 00:56:15,300 When that got made. It was just like shocking. 810 00:56:15,300 --> 00:56:23,300 But other than that I can't think of the way any indie belt looks besides the limitless title so absolutely throw any in there, unfortunately. 811 00:56:23,300 --> 00:56:28,300 All right, this one is going to be interesting. Okay. 812 00:56:28,300 --> 00:56:33,300 You get to book a dream match for yourself. 813 00:56:33,300 --> 00:56:37,300 Again, anybody. Oh god. 814 00:56:37,300 --> 00:56:39,300 Who you wrestling. 815 00:56:39,300 --> 00:56:42,300 Oh, 816 00:56:42,300 --> 00:57:08,300 anybody in their prime, and I can wrestle them. And I'm also going to put the caveat that I'm also in some sort of athletic prime in this match so I can actually go toe to toe with the personal because this may seem strange maybe, but the first person that comes to my head is 817 00:57:08,300 --> 00:57:12,300 Shelton Benjamin. 818 00:57:12,300 --> 00:57:18,300 God that'd be a fantastic match. So he is one of my faves. 819 00:57:18,300 --> 00:57:23,300 The whole world's greatest tag team team angle all that shit. 820 00:57:23,300 --> 00:57:26,300 Absolutely loved them when I was younger. 821 00:57:26,300 --> 00:57:33,300 He was my favorite he was my favorite like wrestler in the world for a long time like around like kind of the early 2010s. 822 00:57:33,300 --> 00:57:42,300 I was like, where's Shelton that man like that guy was the best he was in New Japan and stuff and and Ring of Honor and everything. 823 00:57:42,300 --> 00:57:48,300 I just think he's literally one of the best wrestlers to ever do it. You know like bar none. 824 00:57:48,300 --> 00:57:56,300 And, yeah, I don't know, I think, I think it would either be him or Eddie Guerrero. 825 00:57:56,300 --> 00:58:05,300 But I think the Shelton Benjamin is a little bit more of an interesting choice because I don't know if everybody picks him. Right. But I just think he's phenomenal in every way. 826 00:58:05,300 --> 00:58:17,300 And if they if the super kick heard around the world doesn't tell people on the fact that he can put on main event caliber matches, you know, going to get the calf kicker around the world. 827 00:58:17,300 --> 00:58:29,300 I would love that. I got it needs some work and I got to stretch the groin a little bit more because it was a little sore afterwards. But I'm sure that is the as the goal. 828 00:58:29,300 --> 00:58:36,300 I can hit a springboard crossbar you can fucking hit me with that. How about that? Exactly. Perfect. Hell, yeah. 829 00:58:36,300 --> 00:58:43,300 All right. So any indie wrestlers right now that you're really wanting to get in the ring with? 830 00:58:43,300 --> 00:58:57,300 Yeah, you guys. I appreciate you have. I have gotten in the ring. I have gotten in the ring with you. But I as all been limited in fairly limited capacity. 831 00:58:57,300 --> 00:59:03,300 So I one of the first things I wanted to do was sort of like have my list of like all the trainees. 832 00:59:03,300 --> 00:59:13,300 Like, OK, I want to wrestle every single one of these guys. I mean, like I want to part of that coming back to things like I want to see where they're at. I want to see where I'm at. 833 00:59:13,300 --> 00:59:19,300 I want to just get to know everybody and get that rapport. I could tell you how our match is going to go. 834 00:59:19,300 --> 00:59:29,300 I'm going to get pissed because you're going to turn the fuck out of me and I'm going to get and then I'm just going to start throwing you around. 835 00:59:29,300 --> 00:59:39,300 I got this shit fucking. Yeah. Hey, that's the story. Yeah, it works. 836 00:59:39,300 --> 00:59:47,300 Yeah, I want to get back in there with Channing Thomas because we have had a history. 837 00:59:47,300 --> 01:00:02,300 We've had we've had a few matches together back when he wasn't shit and we had a lot of fun. So I want to run that back a little bit. Hopefully, I want to wrestle. 838 01:00:02,300 --> 01:00:14,300 He has the title. That's true. So there's one thing there has to be some sort of, you know, old. 839 01:00:14,300 --> 01:00:18,300 I mean, I know the company is only five years old, but there has to be some obscure. 840 01:00:18,300 --> 01:00:23,300 Let's wrestle law that allows me to challenge him as a former champion. 841 01:00:23,300 --> 01:00:29,300 You know, with the with the limitless title, just, you know, it might as well be tacked on there. 842 01:00:29,300 --> 01:00:35,300 You know, hey, I'm not going to say one way or the other. 843 01:00:35,300 --> 01:00:45,300 Channing Thomas, I really want to wrestle him again, but he may be shooting for bigger and better things by this point. 844 01:00:45,300 --> 01:01:01,300 I want to get in there with Danny Miles, who was on a recent limitless show, and he gave me a little seminar in the really, really early days before I'd even started going to IWE. 845 01:01:01,300 --> 01:01:10,300 And he's just a really cool guy. And then when you watch him like this, the last limitless show that he was on, he's just so good. 846 01:01:10,300 --> 01:01:21,300 I mean, like in terms of dudes who have the movements down and the I don't know, just the cadence of wrestling like that guy just he hasn't made. 847 01:01:21,300 --> 01:01:34,300 I just think he's a little he's like dynamite kid, you know, like of of New England. So I really want to get back in with Danny Miles. 848 01:01:34,300 --> 01:01:38,300 Trying to think any others off the top of my head. 849 01:01:38,300 --> 01:01:46,300 I really should be writing down, writing down a list, but I guess that's the only two I can think of off the top of my head. 850 01:01:46,300 --> 01:01:52,300 You are on my list of people I want to wrestle. So we'll have to figure out a way to make this work. 851 01:01:52,300 --> 01:01:56,300 Yeah, we got to stop being both hated at the same time. 852 01:01:56,300 --> 01:02:01,300 You know, I was trying to find it, but the but Jim Cornett actually put out a video. 853 01:02:01,300 --> 01:02:08,300 I don't know if somebody got it for a I can't remember what it is when you asked like a celebrity, whatever to say. 854 01:02:08,300 --> 01:02:11,300 I can't remember what it's called when you pay money for a celebrity to say something. 855 01:02:11,300 --> 01:02:14,300 Oh, cameo. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 856 01:02:14,300 --> 01:02:18,300 He had one that he said, fuck you, chanting Thomas. 857 01:02:18,300 --> 01:02:22,300 Like, oh, really? That's funny. 858 01:02:22,300 --> 01:02:26,300 That's yeah, there you go. Well, on his way. 859 01:02:26,300 --> 01:02:38,300 The last question is going to be on the same vein of dream matches is a dream match that you would love to see two wrestlers in their prime. 860 01:02:38,300 --> 01:02:44,300 Go at it anywhere, any place. It doesn't matter the company. 861 01:02:44,300 --> 01:02:48,300 It can be Indy versus W.W. like whatever you want. 862 01:02:48,300 --> 01:02:54,300 What is a dream match you want to see? 863 01:02:54,300 --> 01:02:58,300 I'm thinking hard about this one. It's a big question. 864 01:02:58,300 --> 01:03:10,300 I know who one of the participants is. I'm just trying to think of who his opponent would be. 865 01:03:10,300 --> 01:03:13,300 It's going to be. 866 01:03:13,300 --> 01:03:17,300 Drumroll. 867 01:03:17,300 --> 01:03:22,300 Kurt Angle. I don't have my sound effect board where I would do it. 868 01:03:22,300 --> 01:03:31,300 It's going to be Kurt Angle versus. 869 01:03:31,300 --> 01:03:34,300 Brian Danielson. 870 01:03:34,300 --> 01:03:36,300 That'd be a hell of a match. 871 01:03:36,300 --> 01:03:39,300 I mean, I know it's not. 872 01:03:39,300 --> 01:03:46,300 I don't think it's that creative of a choice because I think it's a dream match that people like talk about. 873 01:03:46,300 --> 01:03:53,300 But you know who I personally would prefer to see over Brian Danielson in that spot though against Kurt Angle? 874 01:03:53,300 --> 01:03:56,300 I'm sorry. I thought I thought you were asking me this question. 875 01:03:56,300 --> 01:03:59,300 That's interesting. I'm giving you my hot take. 876 01:03:59,300 --> 01:04:03,300 You calm down. I didn't I didn't hear any segment music. 877 01:04:03,300 --> 01:04:07,300 Two seconds. I didn't hear any segment music. How do I know this is a hot take? 878 01:04:07,300 --> 01:04:11,300 Because that's how I say it. 879 01:04:11,300 --> 01:04:24,300 You give me two seconds. Yeah, he's got. 880 01:04:24,300 --> 01:04:26,300 There's the segment music. 881 01:04:26,300 --> 01:04:27,300 There it is. 882 01:04:27,300 --> 01:04:33,300 No, I love that pick for me because I'm just not a huge Brian Danielson fan. 883 01:04:33,300 --> 01:04:36,300 Just not a big Brian Danielson fan. I know I'm probably wrong. 884 01:04:36,300 --> 01:04:39,300 I don't get it. 885 01:04:39,300 --> 01:04:41,300 Zach Sabre Jr. 886 01:04:41,300 --> 01:04:46,300 Who was at that first Limitless show? He was the guy who wrestled Chris Hero. 887 01:04:46,300 --> 01:04:50,300 Oh, no shit. Yeah, it was Chris Hero and Zach Sabre Jr. 888 01:04:50,300 --> 01:04:53,300 Zach Sabre Jr. is amazing. Don't get me wrong. 889 01:04:53,300 --> 01:04:56,300 Absolutely nothing wrong with that with that choice. 890 01:04:56,300 --> 01:05:02,300 However, I will argue that I bet you have not seen Brian Danielson from Ring of Honor. 891 01:05:02,300 --> 01:05:04,300 Have you? 892 01:05:04,300 --> 01:05:16,300 I saw some of his stuff. For me, what it honestly is, is I'm not a fan as a general rule of like the underdog character. 893 01:05:16,300 --> 01:05:22,300 Then you didn't see Daniel Bryan Bryan Danielson in Ring of Honor because he's not an underdog. 894 01:05:22,300 --> 01:05:23,300 Okay. 895 01:05:23,300 --> 01:05:27,300 Bryan Danielson was a dominant champion. Nobody could beat him. 896 01:05:27,300 --> 01:05:30,300 It didn't matter how big he was. It had nothing to do with his size. 897 01:05:30,300 --> 01:05:37,300 That was sort of at a time in Ring of Honor where all other companies were about size and stuff. 898 01:05:37,300 --> 01:05:39,300 Ring of Honor was really not about that. 899 01:05:39,300 --> 01:05:46,300 Bryan Danielson, 5'9", and he was the dominant champion of Ring of Honor for well over a year. 900 01:05:46,300 --> 01:05:54,300 He just creamed everyone and he was a douche. He was mean about it and he hit people really hard. 901 01:05:54,300 --> 01:06:02,300 If I could recommend you watch something to maybe change your stance on that, I would watch one of my favorite matches of all time. 902 01:06:02,300 --> 01:06:07,300 Bryan Danielson versus Kenta in Ring of Honor. 903 01:06:07,300 --> 01:06:14,300 It's such a good match. One of my favorites, truly one of my favorites. 904 01:06:14,300 --> 01:06:24,300 I would argue that you might be able to see where I'm coming from with Bryan Danielson over Zack Sabre Jr. 905 01:06:24,300 --> 01:06:30,300 At least at the time. I think Sabre's angle is obvious. 906 01:06:30,300 --> 01:06:37,300 America, England, 100% would be an all-time classic. 907 01:06:37,300 --> 01:06:40,300 Now, are we talking perk angle? 908 01:06:40,300 --> 01:06:46,300 I think this would be a perk angle situation actually. 909 01:06:46,300 --> 01:06:52,300 Now, that's not the angle that I watched the most of. 910 01:06:52,300 --> 01:07:07,300 I know it's not a healthier angle, but I don't think angle was necessarily much healthier when I was watching him in WWE. 911 01:07:07,300 --> 01:07:12,300 I think he was still doing that shit. 912 01:07:12,300 --> 01:07:17,300 Perk angle, I almost picked just because his build was a little bit smaller. 913 01:07:17,300 --> 01:07:23,300 He wasn't as gassed. I think him and Bryan Danielson would have matched up better. 914 01:07:23,300 --> 01:07:26,300 Also, they were wrestling right around the same time. 915 01:07:26,300 --> 01:07:35,300 I think all that stuff, I think the whole perk angle thing, that's all happening while Bryan Danielson is bringing him on a champ. 916 01:07:35,300 --> 01:07:43,300 It's kind of sad that it never happened, honestly, because I truly believe they would have had an all-time classic, 917 01:07:43,300 --> 01:07:49,300 especially looking forward to the future with what Bryan Danielson would accomplish going on. 918 01:07:49,300 --> 01:07:57,300 Watch some of his old stuff if you want more of an idea of him not just doing the yes movement type underdog story, 919 01:07:57,300 --> 01:08:02,300 because I totally get that, but his matches were awesome. 920 01:08:02,300 --> 01:08:05,300 It just never clicked with me. 921 01:08:05,300 --> 01:08:15,300 Granted, it was hard because you don't really get a lot of the story just watching a match, per se, like the character development a lot of the times. 922 01:08:15,300 --> 01:08:17,300 Sure. 923 01:08:17,300 --> 01:08:22,300 I've watched matches, but now that you explained the story, I'm going to go back and watch this Kenta match, 924 01:08:22,300 --> 01:08:29,300 because in my mind, Daniel Bryan or Bryan Danielson was still underdog. 925 01:08:29,300 --> 01:08:36,300 Underdog stuff. In Ring of Honor, he was the hated champion for a long time. 926 01:08:36,300 --> 01:08:43,300 Like, douchebag, hits people hard, is mean, and does those types of hits that makes the crowd go, 927 01:08:43,300 --> 01:08:50,300 whoo! Because no one could tell if he's actually being mean or is this real or fake. 928 01:08:50,300 --> 01:08:55,300 Good shit, I highly recommend it. I think you'll like it, especially the technical brawling aspect. 929 01:08:55,300 --> 01:09:01,300 There's a lot of that. There's a lot of getting the guy in the hold and then beating him in the face. 930 01:09:01,300 --> 01:09:09,300 The audience used to chant when Bryan Danielson would come out to a match or whatever, people would chant, 931 01:09:09,300 --> 01:09:14,300 you're going to get your fucking head kicked in. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. 932 01:09:14,300 --> 01:09:16,300 I'm going to have to do some research now. 933 01:09:16,300 --> 01:09:24,300 Yeah, do some research. And also just watch that early 2000s Ring of Honor shit, because it's like the best. 934 01:09:24,300 --> 01:09:33,300 It's the best. Love that era, that whole era, whether it's the, whether it was the SmackDown that I grew up watching 935 01:09:33,300 --> 01:09:38,300 or as the Ring of Honor that was happening where I didn't know it was happening. 936 01:09:38,300 --> 01:09:44,300 To me, that is the golden era of wrestling. That's when all the best wrestlers came out. 937 01:09:44,300 --> 01:09:46,300 You got some highlights. 938 01:09:46,300 --> 01:09:48,300 Yeah. 939 01:09:48,300 --> 01:09:56,300 Man, this match is so, I watched this match a lot. Like once I decided I was going to be a wrestler 940 01:09:56,300 --> 01:10:03,300 and then I started looking at more wrestlers with physiques closer to mine with styles that I felt that I could actually replicate. 941 01:10:03,300 --> 01:10:12,300 You know, these were two guys that I was really watching. And this match in particular, I watched several, several times. 942 01:10:12,300 --> 01:10:21,300 It's just a crazy, crazy good match. Just look at the, in terms of the stuff that we drill, look at the ring positioning. 943 01:10:21,300 --> 01:10:25,300 Like it's just crazy how fast they go and how precise they are. 944 01:10:25,300 --> 01:10:28,300 And they're in the right spot almost every single time. 945 01:10:28,300 --> 01:10:35,300 Yeah, yeah. And then Kenta doesn't speak English, you know. I think this is long before Kenta actually started learning to speak English. 946 01:10:35,300 --> 01:10:38,300 So these guys are just wrestling, you know. 947 01:10:38,300 --> 01:10:40,300 Right. 948 01:10:40,300 --> 01:10:49,300 So, I mean, I'm sure they have certain things that they can talk out and stuff before the match, but I'm sure by and large, you know, I've never wrestled someone that I don't speak the language of. 949 01:10:49,300 --> 01:10:51,300 Boosh! 950 01:10:51,300 --> 01:10:53,300 That's what I like about that. 951 01:10:53,300 --> 01:10:55,300 You gotta love Kenta. 952 01:10:55,300 --> 01:10:59,300 I was a huge fan of his, even when he was Hideo Tommy. 953 01:10:59,300 --> 01:11:01,300 Oh, sure. 954 01:11:01,300 --> 01:11:04,300 But it just, it sucked so much that it just... 955 01:11:04,300 --> 01:11:07,300 He got a raw deal. He got a raw deal. 956 01:11:07,300 --> 01:11:11,300 He shouldn't have been in there with like new guys. 957 01:11:11,300 --> 01:11:13,300 Look at those kicks, dude. 958 01:11:13,300 --> 01:11:17,300 Look at that. Picture perfect. Bang. 959 01:11:17,300 --> 01:11:23,300 I mean, I just can't picture a world where him and Angle don't have a match of the night. 960 01:11:23,300 --> 01:11:24,300 Right. 961 01:11:24,300 --> 01:11:28,300 Especially this era. I mean, and that's the thing. 962 01:11:28,300 --> 01:11:31,300 Oh yeah, he missed right there. 963 01:11:31,300 --> 01:11:40,300 And then he goes back and does it because they chant, you fucked up. And he's like, I fucked up. And he does the big jumping on their knees thing and then says, I never fuck up. 964 01:11:40,300 --> 01:11:45,300 And everyone says, yeah, it's good stuff. 965 01:11:45,300 --> 01:11:54,300 This is a good recap of the match. They do everything. 966 01:11:54,300 --> 01:12:01,300 Back boom. Catch, catch, bang, suplex. Off the ropes. They're running. They're just constantly. 967 01:12:01,300 --> 01:12:05,300 So many kicks. 968 01:12:05,300 --> 01:12:07,300 Beautiful. 969 01:12:07,300 --> 01:12:08,300 Unreal. 970 01:12:08,300 --> 01:12:11,300 Bang. 971 01:12:11,300 --> 01:12:14,300 Right into the armbar. 972 01:12:14,300 --> 01:12:16,300 To the rope. 973 01:12:16,300 --> 01:12:17,300 The backflip. 974 01:12:17,300 --> 01:12:18,300 Under. 975 01:12:18,300 --> 01:12:21,300 Oh, under again. Catch. See, I'm going to be throwing more. 976 01:12:21,300 --> 01:12:23,300 That was sick. 977 01:12:23,300 --> 01:12:31,300 That's an old Lance Storm move and I'm going to be throwing that in my repertoire too for that one legged Boston crab. 978 01:12:31,300 --> 01:12:33,300 Those forearms. 979 01:12:33,300 --> 01:12:39,300 Oh yeah, they beat the shit out of each other. 980 01:12:39,300 --> 01:12:43,300 Headbutt. Into the, into the feet. 981 01:12:43,300 --> 01:12:46,300 Drop kick off the springboard. 982 01:12:46,300 --> 01:12:51,300 Trading. 983 01:12:51,300 --> 01:12:53,300 Oh yeah. 984 01:12:53,300 --> 01:12:57,300 Oh. 985 01:12:57,300 --> 01:12:59,300 Bang. 986 01:12:59,300 --> 01:13:03,300 Bang. Wow. 987 01:13:03,300 --> 01:13:11,300 Hey, fishermen. I mean, they like move. They did like every move. 988 01:13:11,300 --> 01:13:16,300 It almost looks like too much, but when you watch the match, it doesn't feel like. 989 01:13:16,300 --> 01:13:24,300 It doesn't feel like a high real. I mean, what? I mean, the highlight reel is seven minutes long. I think that's crazy. 990 01:13:24,300 --> 01:13:28,300 The match probably when 30 have not. 991 01:13:28,300 --> 01:13:38,300 I think it's close to 30. Yeah, I thought 30. I think it's quite a long match. Perfect catch of that discus. 992 01:13:38,300 --> 01:13:49,300 It's just like everything. They just do everything. It's just so fun. 993 01:13:49,300 --> 01:13:54,300 And the crowd is just going crazy. We're not listening to it here, but the crowd is just. 994 01:13:54,300 --> 01:13:58,300 That's why. Yeah. 995 01:13:58,300 --> 01:14:00,300 Oh, bang. 996 01:14:00,300 --> 01:14:04,300 That always such a scary bomb. 997 01:14:04,300 --> 01:14:10,300 Yeah, that's what I mean. I almost slapped that on you when we were messing around the other day because I had your arms in it. 998 01:14:10,300 --> 01:14:13,300 I was like in a weird position, so I didn't do it. 999 01:14:13,300 --> 01:14:18,300 Oh, perfect bump. Oh, oh, oh, he caught him. 1000 01:14:18,300 --> 01:14:23,300 He. The original GTS. Yeah. 1001 01:14:23,300 --> 01:14:27,300 Put on the rope. 1002 01:14:27,300 --> 01:14:32,300 Just can't kill him. 1003 01:14:32,300 --> 01:14:40,300 I mean, I'm not saying I'm ever going to be able to, but this is the caliber of wrestling we're all shooting for. 1004 01:14:40,300 --> 01:14:45,300 This is what I want to be able to do. 1005 01:14:45,300 --> 01:14:49,300 I think as long as you're always in the pursuit of greatness, you'll always get a little bit better. 1006 01:14:49,300 --> 01:14:55,300 So shoot for something great and just keep shooting for it. 1007 01:14:55,300 --> 01:14:58,300 I don't even remember this fucking match ends. 1008 01:14:58,300 --> 01:15:03,300 There's the elbows as we're talking about the brawling technical type stuff. 1009 01:15:03,300 --> 01:15:12,300 I'm a lot of those and goes for the mutilation, but he reverses it into the pen, almost get that still has the arms hooked. 1010 01:15:12,300 --> 01:15:15,300 Butterfly or dragon. I can't remember what that's called. 1011 01:15:15,300 --> 01:15:22,300 I think it's a dragon right into the cattle and always getting out of that time. 1012 01:15:22,300 --> 01:15:26,300 Oh, my gosh. He didn't tap elbows. 1013 01:15:26,300 --> 01:15:30,300 And again, my God, there's even more intense than I remember. 1014 01:15:30,300 --> 01:15:33,300 All right. All right.
