00:03:32.000 me and i was i just didn't know what happened next like i was like we're on top of the mountain and

00:03:36.360 No.

00:03:36.780 Now we're going to go down the mountain.

00:03:38.300 No, bro.

00:03:40.180 We didn't go down the mountain.

00:03:40.960 I know.

00:03:41.340 I know.

00:03:41.700 Well, because that is what was kind of, it's kind of nice being division.

00:03:47.420 There's more than one of us.

00:03:48.560 That's right.

00:03:49.080 You know?

00:03:49.620 I remember Breaker telling you in the room, though, he was basically saying, like, oh,

00:03:53.580 I don't think it's, like, that bad.

00:03:54.840 And then the craziest part was you just touching it, and you're just like, it's gone.

00:04:00.020 It's gone.

00:04:01.260 Completely gone.

00:04:01.920 And I was like, what does that even feel like?

00:04:03.320 And I remember touching, like, my arm, and I'm like, this is gone?

00:04:06.780 Like, that whole muscle?

00:04:07.820 Yeah.

00:04:08.460 I don't want to lose a tricep, man.

00:04:09.820 No, you can't.

00:04:10.380 Like, it's one of my best qualities.

00:04:11.580 It is, Austin.

00:04:18.740 That thing's not getting detached anytime soon.

00:04:21.440 That's locked in.

00:04:23.660 We got a match tonight.

00:04:25.140 So, yeah, bro.

00:04:26.180 Just please be safe out there from me.

00:04:31.240 You know?

00:04:31.800 You see the rumors online?

00:04:33.320 i think it's like you know when we all first we're out there together and we haven't had a

00:04:40.400 lot of moments of all of a sudden smack the hell out of the problem that arm on this podcast is a

00:04:46.280 weapon bro i just at any moment it just like swings over dude just dead straight yeah i feel

00:04:54.340 like there's not a lot of moments like we've had out there together you know what i mean like the

00:04:58.280 whole group but I feel like in a way everything that's happened has like kind of shown a little

00:05:04.320 more light on each person in a way you know like I feel like me and you like kind of in the beginning

00:05:09.580 right like Braun is is the main focus because he's the first one that you know that's the plan

00:05:15.760 get the world title yeah and then he had the situation happen and then it was kind of us

00:05:19.900 on top of the world tag team champs no it felt so good I mean bro it's just when you look at me 0.98

00:05:26.000 like that i feel so bad i mean i feel i mean i'm not gonna shortcut austin this fucking sucks 0.93

00:05:30.380 like i could cry right you don't have to tell you don't have to tell him about it like he 0.96

00:05:35.600 he gets it he remembers i mean you went through it yourself yeah same type of situation too you

00:05:40.360 were in a tag team situation right yeah and you had this horrible hernia injury and major repair

00:05:48.700 what was that journey like for you and what advice do you have for the kid to to getting back in the

00:05:53.260 game i guess i guess he's older than you he is so i guess he's not calling the kid yeah but to you 0.97

00:05:58.920 i'm like a little i'm like a little boy i'm like a fucking child compared to you wow that bit tough 0.97

00:06:04.900 thanks man that bit tough that big guys kevin's a newborn compared to you buddy kevin is a baby 0.99

00:06:09.520 dude wait kevin how old are you now yeah how old is 26 man you're getting there too bro life moves

00:06:15.680 fast man yeah yeah i feel like it was like the hernia man i had it for a while i was kind of

00:06:21.540 as nasty as it sounds I was like just popping it back in I remember we were on a tour and uh I asked

00:06:27.720 the doctor I was like hey like I feel this thing here and like I'm not sure if it's a hernia or

00:06:32.180 like I don't want it to be like you know cancer or anything and uh he was like okay he's like well

00:06:36.560 just go get it checked out and stuff he's like but you know if it is a hernia he was like and

00:06:40.080 you can pop it back in and you don't have a problem he was like then you should be fine

00:06:43.580 so that's what I did just kind of wrote it out and then uh I had a match right after the match

00:06:49.240 it was like out for sure and then i was like i was like when you say it just for the viewer right

00:06:54.100 because as a ventral hernias suffer myself i've been through it i've got a you know that one yeah

00:06:59.780 that one is crazy so when when when i say it was out i'm talking about my intestines right so like

00:07:06.820 you i remember i was at the gym i was doing sit-ups and i was like this looks like that

00:07:10.600 scene from that movie is it called space balls i think where the alien is trying to pop bro and i'm

00:07:15.260 like wait what is that what is it coming out of my stomach right now and it just kept popping on

00:07:19.520 there oh yeah that's your intestine your your muscle wall has separated your intestine is

00:07:24.660 actually sneaking out of your your abdomen and we need to push that bad boy back in there and

00:07:30.160 just stick like a piece of screen door you know like a screen door there and then the mesh show

00:07:35.220 it up so wait so what was what when you say it what was coming out of your body so it's i guess

00:07:39.920 it's like the bottom of the intestines right yeah so if you think of like the the pelvic wall right

00:07:44.700 here it's kind of like going out like that you know and then it got to the point where it was

00:07:49.900 like there and i couldn't get it back in and like i remember after the match like i went to the

00:07:55.700 locker room i showered i kind of felt it and i was like all right let me kind of you know like

00:07:59.940 just see like if i just need to calm down a little bit you know like the adrenaline and stuff

00:08:03.900 i get in the car i remember i was with uh dirty dom and uh we're in the car and we're riding and

00:08:10.200 then as we get to the uh the hotel we're going up the escalator and i like look back at him like bro 0.95

00:08:15.540 this hernia is killing me and then dom being dom he's like what the fuck is the hernia and i'm like

00:08:21.200 never mind but dude i remember like going to my room and the pain just started happening and i 0.96

00:08:27.380 remember trying to like lay on the bed put my feet up like kind of decline myself and try to push it

00:08:32.760 back in and it was just getting worse and worse so i called the doctor they're at the other hotel

00:08:37.900 but now I see outside of the hotel there's an arena across the street we just wrestled

00:08:42.240 all the people are leaving and coming to that hotel that I'm at so I'm just like dude this is

00:08:47.600 crazy like they're not going to make it here in time you know so finally they say they're on the

00:08:52.160 way so I'm like I'm gonna go to the lobby I go to the lobby and there's fans down there and they're

00:08:56.260 like Austin Austin some people are like kind of whispering like can I get a photo can I get a

00:09:00.180 photo I'm just in pain dude so it's on my desk yeah yeah so I go up back up the escalator because

00:09:07.400 this hotel had an escalator to the elevators. I try to hide in the corner and the people actually

00:09:11.500 followed me, but they didn't see me, but I'm hiding in the corner. And then finally the doctor

00:09:15.600 texts me and he's like, I'm here. I go outside, get in the car. And then everything after that,

00:09:19.960 it was pretty easy. But, um, then, you know, waking up the next day, get in the surgery and

00:09:24.560 then kind of figuring out now, like, all right, so what do I do now? You know, cause then I'm

00:09:29.720 thinking of my position on TV wasn't really the best. Um, my contract was coming up. So I'm kind

00:09:36.780 of juggling all these different things you know and i'm sure you feel it like kind of gets a little

00:09:42.240 dark a little bit dark you know yeah like you're just trying to figure it out day by day you know

00:09:48.260 what i mean but i think ultimately i just kind of something i'm big on too with like reading a lot

00:09:53.940 of books like self-help books and just always like focus on the now and what you can do like

00:10:00.440 in the day quit trying to worry about tomorrow or your career like you know you put in the work you

00:10:05.960 know you got the dedication so as long as you're set that way like good will come i'm happy we're

00:10:10.980 doing this show right now because i've been sitting you know at least sometimes alongside

00:10:15.600 him on this journey since he got hurt and it's it's been tough on him yeah you know and i've

00:13:47.840 also as equally as impressive as the stuff in front of the camera and one thing i found

00:13:53.220 interesting about you and why i give that context is i think part of the reason you are as good as

00:13:58.260 you are and i found this interesting this is the only thing you've ever really wanted to do in your

00:14:04.520 life very true and you just you you set this goal at what at what like 12 13 eight years old eight

00:14:11.700 years old you're like I'm gonna be a professional wrestler at eight years old yeah and then you made

00:14:17.260 your dream come true yeah it's yeah it's pretty nuts like just uh I remember like as I got older

00:14:23.000 too like people saying like oh you'll change your mind and then you know and uh I think it was high

00:14:28.360 school where I was sitting at the table and I finally like it was Arnold I heard him say like

00:14:33.180 if you're afraid to tell people your dreams they won't happen so I was sitting at the table and I

00:14:38.420 remember somebody was like yeah Austin wants to be a wrestler ain't that right and I knew everybody

00:14:42.060 was gonna laugh I'd be like oh like it's not this it's not that like it's impossible it's on TV and

00:14:48.180 I was like yeah I want to be a wrestler and then um in that moment I just felt it even more like

00:14:53.680 I was like yo like you really are gonna do this like it's gonna happen and then I was a little

00:15:00.460 bit like right before I turned 12 I went into my mom's room and I was like hey I need to get

00:15:06.340 started on my career and my mom's like my mom's like what and i'm like go ride your bike

00:15:12.340 100 she's like what and my mom worked out a lot like she was always in the gym uh and she's

00:15:19.200 actually the first person i worked out with and i was like i need to go to the gym i was like i'm

00:15:23.300 small like this will help me like get to wwe as quick as i can and that's kind of always been my

00:15:28.640 goal so i worked out with my mom like maybe for a year started learning kind of stuff on my own

00:15:34.460 met some guys at the gym that were older than me took me under their wing were showing me like

00:15:39.140 just kind of giving me that like uh kind of that like father figure vibe because I never really

00:15:45.420 like had it I had it in certain people in my life but like my dad it wasn't really like that so it

00:15:51.880 was cool like finding that in the gym and just like just going hard you know and like I remember

00:15:56.740 like uh one guy uh his name is uh Matt Chambers and I'm working out with him and I had 225 on my

00:16:02.720 back and we're we do these squats all the way down because i remember when he first saw me squat i

00:16:07.140 had like 315 on and i squatted like 90 and he was like all right that's that's like a half rep but

00:16:13.180 okay i was like what do you want me to do he's like all the way down i remember having 225 on

00:16:18.140 my back i went all the way down we're like we've done so many sets and so many different things

00:16:22.420 and we dude i don't know how like now i work out for like an hour i don't know how then i was

00:16:26.360 working out for like three hours like it was crazy we do like laps of lunges around the top and then

00:16:30.800 but i had the 225 on my back and i was all the way down and i kind of just like remember being

00:16:36.280 lightheaded and like passed out a little bit but i kind of came back to myself but i'm still

00:16:40.200 squatted like in the hole and i look up at him and he's like what are you doing and i'm like oh

00:16:45.400 and he's like get the fuck up so i like get up and then i remember telling him i was like yo like 0.91

00:16:50.120 i got like this pain in the back of my head and he's like just harden the fuck up and i was like 0.69

00:16:54.580 all right and then just kind of that mentality in a way like you know obviously be smart when

00:17:00.160 you train and stuff but like i love that and it kind of helped me with like the hunger of like

00:17:05.320 chasing everything in a way sick who were you uh watching when you were growing up getting

00:17:10.420 inspired to wrestle in the first place so i always say john cena that was uh he helped me with like

00:17:15.220 a lot of stuff like you know like my dad like the relationship i had with him and then getting

00:17:19.540 bullied in like school and stuff and um i just remember being a kid that was like i'd always

00:17:25.300 stick to like myself like what i liked like i wouldn't try to switch up for anybody or you know

00:17:31.060 try to do this because everybody likes it you know what i mean i was like i love wrestling i was like

00:17:35.500 i don't try to put that on anybody and talk about it all the time but like whatever i like and

00:17:40.240 however i'm gonna be that's how i'm gonna be and i was just kind of always like that was it like

00:17:44.600 weird at the time to like like when i was growing up liking wrestling was like a table stakes like

00:17:50.560 it was wwf everybody was locked in you know this was back in the 60s but you know uh

00:17:56.900 it was a different time you know but like when you were growing up like were people

00:18:02.960 mean about it like was wrestling didn't have the same allure at the time yeah i felt like as you

00:18:08.360 went like you know elementary school everybody's cool and chill and then i think just people

00:18:13.540 growing up and kind of like a immaturity thing in a way you know like i think middle school it was

00:18:18.760 like it was cool but it was kind of starting to fall off and then high school it was like

00:18:21.960 you don't talk about wrestling like yeah you know and then i was just the kid that was like

00:18:26.060 getting jacked and people were like this guy says he's gonna be a wrestler you know and they're like

00:18:30.540 whatever that's crazy it is so unique man like it is like i i think about when i told my friends

00:18:36.880 like my friends yeah like hey i'm gonna like do i'm gonna do vine i want to like i think i want 0.54

00:18:40.760 to be a vine star and they're like yeah right stupid it's so crazy but but that was even i 0.63

00:18:46.780 think more digestible than becoming a professional wrestler like that is it's such a unique thing 0.92

00:18:52.020 to want to do I found it fascinating that you had never done any school sports no ever because

00:18:58.940 you're really athletic yeah like I'm imagining you on the football team and it just never happened

00:19:03.880 there was a time in high school where they were I was hearing from people like they were upset

00:19:08.020 they were like why won't he wrestle like why won't he be on the football team I was there was a point

00:19:12.420 I was thinking about wrestling I was like oh maybe this will help me like be a little better in the

00:19:16.960 ring when I go to start training yeah you know what I mean yeah but uh they told me I had to

00:19:21.160 cut weight and I was like I'm trying to get jacked like yeah we ain't doing that yeah you know what

00:19:24.880 I mean like I'm not cutting to 185 I think dude junior year I got up to like 230 pounds and that's

00:19:31.920 the biggest I've ever been in high school bro yeah but it was the diet for sure I was eating

00:19:36.380 everything how tall so i was like six probably probably like five eleven six foot at the time

00:19:42.280 i'm like six one now but yeah bro i'm sure those are like jake paul numbers dude i mean

00:19:46.500 yeah horizontal yeah it's a big that's a big bro that weight like i would have shin splints

00:19:52.940 all the time and like speaking of the guy i said earlier matt i uh shout out matt chambers

00:19:57.560 he was he's kind of like my david goggins in a way yeah you know but uh i went to him and i

00:20:06.320 I remember he was like the first person that I like, I remember that was older and I was like,

00:20:10.320 I want to be a wrestler. And he was like, that's amazing. He was like, you're going to do it.

00:20:14.700 And, uh, I remember I told him, I was like, bro, I started running and stuff. And I was like,

00:20:18.860 everything always hurts. Like I get shin splints. He's like, well, try sprints. Didn't work. Try

00:20:23.060 treadmill. Didn't work. Try this. Didn't work. And then he goes, dude, I know you don't look

00:20:27.480 like it. He was like, but you're fat. And I was just like, what do you mean? He's like, 0.93

00:20:31.600 because you like, you know, you work out all the time and you lift heavy and do all this stuff,

00:20:35.260 but like you're drinking a gallon of milk a day you're eating a bag of chicken nuggets you're

00:20:39.340 eating like these macaroni and mashed potato cups you're like making sure you eat two pb and j's

00:20:44.220 every night and like i get your bulking trying to get big he was like but now like try to do it a

00:20:49.220 healthier way so i was like okay so i did that and then came down from the 230 and then just started

00:20:54.420 kind of lean bulking from there but it was like i felt good about my body but i like my abs felt

00:20:59.400 hard but i couldn't see the definition and i was like you just can't be jacked and not have abs you

00:21:04.640 know what i mean like that's that's not the recipe that's table stick yeah it's like when a guy's

00:21:09.020 like my arms are 20 inches i was like but do you have a six-pack you know what i mean yeah that's

00:21:13.220 a that's a game changer yeah do you do a significant amount of core or no i do i actually

00:21:19.340 uh i will be honest before the hernia not as much but now a lot of it yeah a lot of it like i would

00:21:26.280 do a little bit of stuff but um now like i just lock in on it yeah and also helps with the back

00:21:31.520 and the hips and stuff too that's for sure all of it it's it's it's an incredibly important muscle

00:21:35.700 i think for for wrestling it's you gotta have it yeah i think in general i don't do any of it

00:21:40.840 obviously but like i think it's great it's great like preventative lower back pulling muscles like

00:21:46.600 all that stuff keeping the core tight is super important for sure i worked out with you uh

00:21:51.140 where were we in europe somewhere yeah somewhere in europe back day yeah yeah man you go hard

00:21:56.300 boy jumped in too man yeah yeah yeah you know what you're doing man yeah it's uh it's cool man

00:22:03.160 it's kind of like uh kind of wrestling like on the fly like in a way like you just when I walk

00:22:08.840 in the gym like I know the muscle I want to hit yeah but like I know the exercises I need to do

00:22:14.320 but I kind of like fill it out like the rep ranges and the way I like do the negatives and

00:22:18.920 just always mix it up like it just makes it fun yeah and you're dialed in on your diet too yeah

00:22:23.820 You'd be getting, like, tuna from Amazon and bringing it to work.

00:22:26.620 I'd just be going to the catering, bro.

00:22:27.860 Those tuna packets, man.

00:22:29.100 It's a quick meal.

00:22:30.840 They're kind of good.

00:22:32.460 No, I don't say that.

00:22:33.460 No?

00:22:33.800 I hate seafood.

00:22:34.840 I'll be honest.

00:32:12.880 Cena beat John Cena at Wrestlemania talk to me about coming into the WWE and being thrown into

00:32:21.320 the deep end at such a young age so I remember my time in NXT and it was like kind of just I felt

00:32:29.140 like I was there you know and then something started to work when I was in the group the way

00:32:33.440 I just started being, you know, like showing more of my humor and being more funny, you know, showing that.

00:32:40.140 And then I feel like that's kind of the tip of it for me in NXT.

00:32:44.220 And then when I got to the main roster, I didn't even kind of realize like Vince was like pushing me and behind me until like I remember when I won the U.S. title and I became the youngest U.S. champ.

00:32:56.200 But at the end of that match, Vince wanted all the heels to come out, hold me up in the ring.

00:33:01.300 and then as i left the ring he came out at the end on the stage and held my arm and i think in

00:33:07.020 that moment i was like whoa like something's going on here like we're going places you know

00:33:13.580 but um yeah i feel like i always knew like i would i would do great things here but just not

00:33:21.140 the detail of them you know i mean it's been a crazy ride you know it's been nuts but i guess

00:33:29.040 like anything in life you know you have the ups and the downs and I really feel like kind of coming

00:33:34.500 down a little bit and just kind of reflecting and figuring out like where can I be better what could

00:33:40.160 I do okay maybe I need to switch the character and I need to do something else and just I think

00:33:47.300 that's just always the thing you're trying to you know be fresher on because we're on TV every week

00:33:52.220 so it's like trying to give somebody something different all the time but yeah that was a that

00:33:58.600 just that time period specifically i believe that was between like like the end of 2021 and then

00:34:04.120 2023 but crazy do you feel like you got robbed when you didn't secure the money in the bank cash

00:34:11.340 in yes you do yes yes i will say like it uh i'm gonna go and run the play always you know if

00:34:22.480 we really needed to be this way. I think for me, I just felt like, you know, even with the moment

00:34:29.380 I had with Roman, I believe it was at maybe Barkley Center. And he hit me with the, your

00:34:35.200 daddy's not here anymore. In that moment, I wanted to say the same thing to him, you know, because

00:34:40.080 in a way it's like, he's a Vince guy as well, you know, not in a way he was, but I felt like,

00:34:47.600 yeah, just, there could have been a moment. Like I knew like we, I wasn't going to get the title

00:34:52.000 off roman but even just building it to seem like oh here we go and then you know i can lose them

00:34:58.300 whatever yeah you know but like just give it more of a payoff because it felt cool man like i did a

00:35:03.000 lot of cool things with it um and i still think it's funny how like i have it in my uh office

00:35:07.820 hanging and it's real dented and i love when people see it and they're like bro you murdered 0.96

00:35:12.400 people with that huh i'm like no brock lesnar murdered me with it and it sucked crazy you you

00:35:20.000 brought up before that john cena was a big inspiration for you growing up or maybe like

00:35:24.680 the inspiration what was it like walk us through what it was like defeating john cena at wrestlemania

00:35:30.040 39 man that whole process was crazy like even the the promo like talking to him uh i even went down

00:35:37.220 to his gym and we had dinner and we were talking and everything and uh i just remember him telling

00:35:42.940 me he's like you're not a bad guy like i want you to be you and i remember just being so confused

00:35:49.000 because i was like man i'm like this like obnoxious over the top cocky hill and he's like i feel like

00:35:55.260 that's not going to last too long like you got to be yourself and i was like how do i do this like

00:36:00.080 you know like i'm a bad guy and uh i even remember him telling me it was after that match at mania

00:36:05.600 and um that that match like to me i have a picture as a kid holding my little brother and i had a

00:36:11.560 cardboard cut out a scene in my room and that was always my dude so like just having that match with

00:36:17.460 him and like how like awesome he was through the whole experience um yeah that'll just stay with

00:36:23.200 me forever and something cool too like my grandfather's always taken the father figure

00:36:27.940 role for me and when I was a kid he told me because he knew I always wanted to be a wrestler

00:36:32.240 he's like all I ask from you is when you face John Cena that I get a hot dog and a coke in the

00:36:39.540 crowd when that happens and I told my girl that day and she brought it to him and like god crazy

00:36:45.000 moment you know what i mean but um yeah after the match i remember cena telling me he was like hey

00:36:50.520 i went and talked to vince and i told him you're not a bad guy so hopefully that helps you become

00:36:55.960 a good guy and i was like let's see you're still a bad guy i'm a bad guy your cena impression is

00:37:03.560 actually pretty funny yeah it's actually pretty accurate yeah he's he's awesome man he's he's

00:39:38.160 to make everyone feel worth it and make everyone feel valuable in some way i mean he's just such

00:39:44.040 an incredible person and and in this business mike for young wrestlers like austin myself

00:39:49.120 he will go out of his way to give you the knowledge that he's had over the past two

00:39:54.360 decades or so of wrestling like i'm sure you learned a ton from him along the way can you

00:39:59.360 share a piece of advice or something that he taught you one of my favorite things was doing

00:40:03.980 the match at mania like i knew like the finish and like me biting his ear and stuff because i

00:40:11.520 remember he asked me he's like do you know who evander holyfield is i was like yeah he's like

00:40:15.260 we'll do something like that tonight i'm like all right cool and then uh so i knew about that

00:40:20.120 but just going out there on the biggest show that we have right there like in la in the sofi stadium

00:40:26.500 and just knowing that like i went out there not having a bunch of stuff to memorize and i i remember

00:40:32.580 one part he's in the corner and i'm in the middle of the ring and i'm like you know crowd's booing

00:40:37.460 me and then i hear him in the corner and he's like whenever you're ready come give me a splash

00:40:42.600 and if that's weird just give me a clothesline and then whenever you're ready so i'm like in

00:40:48.680 the middle of the ring doing my thing and then i just like look at him and then i run into the

00:40:51.820 corner and as soon as i hit him he's like we're gonna do the comeback soon like he's just he's

00:40:56.300 awesome man he's so good but the thing that stuck out to me the most was after he told me he said

00:41:03.900 just remember every show we do is a live event this is the biggest show we have we treated it

00:41:11.900 like a live event and i'm like yeah yeah you're the best yeah he's incredible yeah he's in that

00:41:20.420 he's in that upper just echelon of like the greatest of all time yeah and i think with him

00:41:24.680 it's uh he just not afraid to fail or just like humiliate himself you know and i remember him

00:41:33.040 saying that to me he was like uh i'm just the one that's you know not afraid to like be humiliated

00:41:39.480 you know like just humility you know what i mean like i'm just go for it you know try stuff yeah

00:41:45.660 Yeah, he did that – was it at the Oscars where he went on there naked or something?

00:41:50.900 Dude, who would do that?

00:41:52.160 I mean, I thought it was awesome.

00:41:53.480 No, no, no, but that's what I'm saying.

00:41:54.680 Who could really – you meet a lot of people that have that energy

00:41:58.720 and could be like, oh, they do it.

00:42:00.520 But when the moment comes on a level like that,

00:42:03.820 like Leonardo DiCaprio's in the crowd and Denzel Washington. 0.99

00:42:07.720 No, he doesn't give a fuck, which is awesome. 0.99

00:42:10.520 I texted him about it. 0.99

00:42:11.240 I was like, that was so good.

00:42:12.240 And he texted me back, comparison is the thief of joy

00:42:14.740 because i think everyone is just like maybe they're afraid to do it and they're like little

00:42:18.480 minds but humility man turned into another conspiracy theory yeah of course yeah the

00:42:23.880 humiliation ritual humility the hollywood people are so weird dude it's so weird i tell people bro

00:42:29.700 like no it's not a thing well that's what i'm saying yeah yeah yeah people will make things up

00:42:38.320 to rationalize their own reality to make their thoughts seem believable they'll they'll they'll

00:42:45.880 believe made up shit that doesn't exist it's like a lot of people are living in like delusional land 0.91

00:42:52.280 i love how you said that because this week uh i was gone for like two weeks i wish you were with 0.99

00:42:57.220 me my dog on those shows but uh yeah like when i came home it was maybe like at midnight me and my

00:43:03.500 girl were asleep and we heard this crazy just like it sounded like an earthquake it was just

00:43:08.300 like a rumbling apparently it was like a sonic boom or something but uh people were saying it

00:43:13.780 was like the ufos and the aliens and where that stuff starts getting deep where that's another

00:43:19.140 one you know what i mean yeah wait this was in florida but it was like a dude the sound was

00:43:23.760 crazy people have like uh i saw on tiktok like people have like their ring uh camera footage

00:43:29.340 but you can you can just hear it like i think it sounded crazy whoa i remember waking up and uh

00:43:36.360 my girl goes did you hear that last night and i was like i thought that was in my dream

00:43:39.900 it sounded crazy i think some of the the issue is is that some oh protecting your home from

00:43:45.480 uninvited pests that we need an insane thing to see on the tv that right now dude we need those

00:43:51.580 guys unbelievable call them rewind them and call it i think part of the problem is that some of

00:43:56.240 the stuff ends up being true okay and anytime you have a little bit of validation through

00:44:00.580 something that that is right or happens it all of a sudden gives these it gives a thousand other

00:44:07.600 theories uh you know a little bit of credence right and so that's that's kind of the problem

00:44:13.680 you know it's we live in a very very strange time right now dude it's very interesting where like

00:44:19.260 everything that we science is distrusted you know things that we used to believe as true are no

00:44:26.220 longer true and things that used we used to believe as like conspiracies are now people

00:44:30.480 are believe it's just a wild time i always feel like now like we're figuring more stuff out but

00:44:37.200 i feel like we're so far from like what's really going on like we don't know what's going on we

00:44:43.240 don't agree you know what i mean but we're i think we're so easily distracted by things you know

00:44:48.100 like you can put a new thing on the news or a new trend and it's like half of like the percentage

00:44:53.940 of the world is like gone to that you know what i mean it's uh it's a little sad it can be good it

00:44:59.060 can be good in some ways too but it's it's kind of sad yeah something i've been distracted by a lot

00:45:03.760 lately is and i gotta ask you guys this is maxine dupree joining the vision oh man hey we talked

00:45:11.620 about this yeah what's he doing yeah i don't know i told him not to mention it i'm gonna cut that 0.78

00:45:38.540 question there's a vision though there's a vision that's all i'll say on that always brother there's 0.95

00:45:50.840 about you oh you've never taken a sip of alcohol or at least at one point you had never taken a 0.99

00:45:58.680 sip of alcohol that's very that's very true i was a like a long part of my life i was straight edge

00:46:05.020 but then me and my boy oh boy we won the tag team championships in madison square garden don't tell

00:46:12.060 me this right now dude i was on a private jet flew to the beautiful island of puerto rico

00:46:42.940 yeah i know he's good he told me not to do it yeah but i will say i tried it it's not my thing man

00:46:48.560 you know i'm just like huh do you want it do you want to know why i have an i have an outlook on

00:46:53.040 that perspective on it let's hear it you grew up dude you were eight years old you knew you wanted

00:46:58.560 to be a wrestler you wanted to get in the gym you wanted to lift now i could be wrong but you're so

00:47:03.160 hyper focused bro you got those doors those those those uh barriers built up and you're so hyper

00:47:10.080 focused and locked in and you got the blinders on everything outside that those demons can't get to

00:47:15.560 you i don't know maybe they can but a lot of people do drinking and drugging and all the things

00:47:20.940 because they're they got a party with those demons bro the demons like to party the demons like to

00:47:26.200 party that's how you keep them that's how you keep quiet you know what i'm saying because 0.97

00:47:29.340 Otherwise, they sneak up and scare the shit out of you 0.99

00:47:31.880 like fucking The Shining, right? 1.00

00:47:33.460 Do you have a lot of demons? 1.00

00:47:34.440 I've got a ton of them, dude.

00:47:36.000 But deal with them.

00:47:36.840 Like as many as these flies?

00:47:38.280 More.

00:47:38.540 More.

00:47:39.220 Way more, dude.

00:47:40.600 And they like to party.

00:47:41.920 They like to party.

00:47:42.920 They like to party.

00:47:43.800 They were partying last night, bro.

00:47:44.920 They like to party. 1.00

00:47:45.640 They like to fuck. 1.00

00:47:46.780 They like to do a lot of stuff. 1.00

00:47:48.120 All right.

00:47:48.500 You know what I'm saying?

00:47:49.040 And if you don't deal with them in a proper way,

00:47:52.560 that's how you deal with them, right? 1.00

00:47:54.200 You just fuck everybody. 1.00

00:47:54.920 Well, yeah. 1.00

00:47:56.040 You just fuck everyone. 1.00

00:47:57.140 so that demon still can be around substances i've got quite good with but that's my perspective on 1.00

00:48:04.700 it with you is it seems like you you're so locked in that you don't need them yeah i i actually like

00:48:10.040 that perspective because i think like you know like people will go like oh like for the gym

00:48:15.220 right like working out staying in shape like yeah but it's easy for you you've been doing it since

00:48:18.340 you were 12 years old but it's like dude there's so many days more than there are that i want to be

00:48:23.440 in there that i don't want to do it yeah yeah of course like even when i go in my garage i'll just

00:48:28.280 sit in there like and i'm just sitting there with no music on sometimes and i'm just like 0.99

00:48:31.820 well in about an hour like shit's gonna be awesome but right now it fucking sucks yeah 0.99

00:48:36.540 you know especially if it's like a a quad day oh man it's just murder in there you know but 0.98

00:48:43.020 the feeling after that's what i'm chasing that's what i'm so happy that you said that because

00:48:46.480 that's what i always try to push the people is like people that are just starting yeah they're 0.94

00:48:50.300 like dude why would i want to do and i'm talking about like it could be anything yeah i fucking 0.57

00:48:54.600 love the i go to the gym religiously i might just do the elliptical i might do nothing dude right i 0.75

00:48:59.120 might do 10 minutes i might be on my phone for a little bit but just get a sweat going get it going

00:49:02.460 there's never going to be a day in your life no matter what happens well unless you pull a tricep

00:49:08.980 or something but where you go to the gym and you walk out feeling worse than you did when you went

00:49:14.040 It is the one place that you are guaranteed to walk out feeling better than you walk in.

00:49:20.320 Unless, of course, you pull a triceps.

00:49:22.400 I definitely just had a couple days where I just cooked myself.

00:49:25.820 The worst.

00:49:26.440 Just cooked myself.

00:51:26.900 you know what i'm saying you know what i'm saying from a theoretical theory as a theory as a theory

00:51:30.920 one of my favorite things is uh i actually heard it yesterday because sometimes i'll listen to

00:51:36.120 music when I train, but sometimes I find like these cool videos on YouTube where it's like a

00:51:40.460 mix of just like motivational people saying like cool things. Oh, that's kind of cool. And it's

00:51:45.140 kind of like for anybody, right? Like music, like I could share a song with you and you're like,

00:51:48.800 oh, it doesn't hit for me. But there's a certain thing in that song that hits for me. It's the

00:51:52.160 same thing with those videos. I hear like one guy say something and it hits. And I remember I was

00:51:56.380 doing like the shoulder workout yesterday and there's just like a puddle of sweat under me

00:52:01.080 And I was feeling good. And I just remember David Goggins on the video. He goes, only an hour of your day you have to spend working out. Just an hour. That sucks. In your day, out of your whole 24 hours, you got 23 left. Just one hour. Just do what sucks for one hour. And look what you'll get, you know?

00:52:20.900 and then i love this other guy he said stacking days just stack days bro like no matter how

00:52:25.920 you know uh dark things get with a injury or whatever's going on in life just stack days

00:52:31.960 one at a time yeah get a little little better at something each day but it doesn't have to be

00:52:36.200 everything you know then i noticed too i wonder with you as well like sometimes do you feel like

00:52:42.420 you're trying to do too much like you're trying to be good at everything you know i feel the

00:52:48.200 opposite yeah i feel like i'm not doing enough well i guess like i kind of mean that in a way

00:52:54.060 but you're just trying to be good at everything but you're there's always more to do you know

00:52:59.320 yeah he's an anomaly dude no i'm not i'm not you kind of are mr beast is an anomaly no because

00:53:05.080 mr beast can't but also body slam a man through a table he can't he's really good mr beast is

00:53:11.260 the best of all time greatest of all time at making videos with high retention rates on youtube

00:53:17.200 no one will ever he's absolutely incredible dude you are just like i'm gonna do the biggest pokemon

00:53:23.580 thing i'm gonna have the biggest podcast i'm gonna smash this dude through a table i'm gonna box 0.75

00:53:28.460 floyd mayweather i'm gonna do it's crazy and then you just do all the things i hate to glaze you

00:53:32.600 because i know it always i always get called out for it but it's true is it not true theory it's

00:53:37.540 very true it's not a theory it's yeah yeah i see what you're saying no i mean anomaly bro i thank

00:53:43.300 you for saying that mike uh no i uh i i feel like personally i kind of have to i have a bit of like

00:53:50.260 occupational add like i just i got it my mind got it got to be bouncing around and staying busy and

00:53:56.200 doing stuff i feel that i mean i'm i'm super goal-oriented um hyper-driven my my my did have

00:54:04.020 a great father figure who just instilled like just a gnarly work ethic in me and a lot of the

00:54:11.820 times growing up shit kind of did suck i was doing work that i didn't like and so when i found

00:54:17.980 something i did like like wrestling or sports or like content creation working hard then came easy 0.94

00:54:23.200 because i knew how to work hard and stuff i didn't like imagine how hard i could work on stuff i did

00:54:27.940 i do like sure you know yeah um but yeah man i feel like i'm not doing enough especially now 0.98

00:54:35.780 with this fucking bum ass tricep let me ask you when you have like a like before the injury when 0.99

00:54:41.140 you have like that off day where you don't have to hit the gym and you have less like 1.00

00:54:44.780 task you have to fulfill like do you still feel like like what am i doing always dude same always

00:54:51.440 i'm like bro your body is so sore i know i know chill but then i'm like am i missing the

00:54:57.720 opportunity yes you know what i mean yes yeah it's crazy it's like a it's like a sickness in a way

00:55:02.820 a hundred percent yeah but it's also it's also why it's why you are where you are that's so

00:55:07.540 have that thing yeah both of those things are true because even as someone who doesn't do the

00:55:11.660 what you guys do on the physical side like i obviously do a lot on the other side i i get

00:55:17.520 that it's really hard for me to ever like relax and like enjoy any type of simplicity or boredom

00:55:23.180 or like and dude people would just be like yo let's go like fish and or go do this or whatever

00:55:29.060 and like i get there and i'm just like damn man like i think about that thing dude i should be

00:55:33.280 doing this thing right now and this thing it's actually kind of messed up but to but to your 0.86

00:55:38.580 point it's also the reason it's the reason why we're here right now it's the reason why you guys

00:55:43.220 are the undisputed can't deny it tag team champion you know what i'm saying like that is why i remember

00:55:50.520 seeing this thing uh not too long ago um don't quote me on this but i think it said like people

00:55:56.700 that are under like 10 body fat it's like two percent of the population and to me i would think

00:56:04.240 it's even less than that but that's that's insane it's crazy but then it you know it makes sense

00:56:08.440 because it's like well those are the people that you know it's easy to for a lot of people to sit

00:56:13.140 around and not do anything you know but it's like for that small percentage it just like eats you

00:56:18.300 alive when you feel like you're just wasting time because the clock never stops you know i know so

00:56:23.620 it's like whatever you want out of this life like and this is something too within the last few

00:56:29.380 years I feel like I've always like especially with the wrestling dream felt like anything you

00:56:34.160 want you can have but like within the last few years like even I'd say after the during the

00:56:40.140 hernia surgery I like really realized like wow like I really can do and have anything that I want

00:56:45.880 you know and I like remember seeing uh Kanye in an interview and this is like old and the guy's

00:56:51.920 like he's like i could be in the nba if i want and the guy's like no you can't he's like yes i can

00:56:55.960 he's like no you can't he's like yes he's like because my mom said i could be anything i want

00:56:59.480 to be but it's so true bro like if and you know it like if you believe it it's yours yeah

00:57:04.400 khan is like the the most the biggest case of like that delusional optimism and manifestation

00:57:10.300 but he's also a really strong case of anti-semitic hatred he's also he's also a really good strong

00:57:18.700 case of uh how important it is to have that that parental figure in your life connie's mom told him

00:57:28.240 his entire life you are going to be the best in the world you are going to be whatever you want

00:57:33.040 to be because you are the best you are the best you're a genius you're the strongest and that's

00:57:37.480 literally how he ended up being having that belief set in his life you know and unfortunately for a

00:57:43.200 lot of people they grow up without that parental person in their life you know and and almost have

00:57:49.280 to create that from scratch yeah and that doesn't work for everybody you know what i'm saying yeah

00:57:55.660 i feel like i noticed like for me it was like you know my dad was like a different story but

00:58:00.500 i feel like if my dad wasn't how he was like i wouldn't be who i am you know and even too like

00:58:08.160 uh i hadn't talked to him since i was i would talk to him kind of on and off when i was younger

00:58:13.280 uh but then the last time was when i was 18 and then um i remember when the time i had out

00:58:19.460 it felt like just a time of like getting everything off my chest and i was like

00:58:23.620 i think i'll call him because i don't talk to him at all i was like maybe i'll call him so then i

00:58:29.320 called him and uh his mom picked up and he's like he lives at his mom's house still and uh he he's

00:58:36.540 been in prison a lot. Um, the last time he was like 50, I think he's like 53 now. And, um, I

00:58:43.380 kind of just wanted to tell him like the first thing I said, I was like, Hey, I just want you

00:58:46.560 to know, like, I don't hate you. Like, I don't have any hard, heavy feelings towards you. I was

00:58:51.900 like, this is obviously like been a heavy thing on me in my life. I was like, but I really feel

00:58:55.680 like I need to be the man to like do this, you know, and just be at ease. And I kind of remember

00:59:03.020 after that and he might even see this but I remember him kind of saying like hey like take

00:59:08.200 your time however you want to do this and talk and stuff and I think for me like that was it

00:59:12.800 you know like I don't there's just not really anything else there for me but I think I just

00:59:17.600 wanted to like get that off my chest because my whole life I was like searching for like

00:59:22.020 like who taught me how to be a man and I even remember on the phone asking him you know I was

00:59:27.420 like who taught you how to be a man and he was just kind of like I mean his dad was not the best

00:59:32.580 and then his dad's dad wasn't the best. So, you know, it's kind of like domestication growing up

00:59:38.100 for him. Right. But it led to me and my thing is just like, I just don't want to hold like a grudge

00:59:43.500 towards somebody or feel like I really like hate somebody. And I went years trying to figure that

00:59:48.140 out. Like, you know, dang, like this guy's got his dad and like, he gets that advice and he's

00:59:53.220 got that support and it's, it's different, you know, like you have your mom, but like having

00:59:56.940 your dad, I feel like it's a different thing. So getting that off my chest, it just felt great.

01:00:01.640 you know what i mean and uh like i said i was trying to figure out like who taught me how to

01:00:06.140 be a man and then i kind of realized like i did um because like my uncle i noticed with him uh he

01:00:12.700 passed away as well but i noticed with him like there was like trying to like be something to

01:00:19.420 everybody but it was honestly like a insecurity i think and then i felt like with my grandfather

01:00:26.040 and my grandmother my grandmother would kind of grab the the horns a little more um but I consider

01:00:32.420 my grandfather more of like the father figure in my life but I think me just learning the lessons

01:00:37.700 you know what I mean from like Matt Chambers at the gym and like you know just traveling the indies

01:00:43.900 and uh I don't think I ever told you this but like when I joined my wrestling school in Atlanta at

01:00:49.860 18 it was in the back of a strip club like it was a magic city it was club wax so very like

01:00:58.700 bad area but um just like putting myself in those situations of like yeah there's a bunch of dudes

01:01:05.400 out front and they have guns you know but I'm gonna walk past them to get to this wrestling

01:01:09.540 school because I have this dream and like go to the gym every day and like just put it on my back 0.98

01:01:14.060 and even when the you know the hernia thing happened I was like well I mean you knew where

01:01:18.300 you were before, you know, you've seen the top of the mountain and you've, you know, kind of in a

01:01:22.660 way fell. And now it's like, it's up to you, man. Like it's up to you to work out every day. It's

01:01:27.860 up to you to put in the work. And I remember one day, um, during that time I was out, I would like

01:01:33.660 write all my workouts on a piece of paper in the garage and I would tape them to the wall, flip it

01:01:37.780 over right on the back and have like my back day, leg day, chest day, like all these workouts. And

01:01:42.680 then one day I walked in there and I was kind of down. And then I just looked at the paper and I

01:01:46.360 took them all down and it was like over 70 workouts and i was like bro give yourself some

01:01:50.660 credit man yeah like you know but i think where i finally land with all that and i kind of said it

01:01:55.600 is just like i just feel like i taught myself how to be a man you know what i mean i love that

01:02:00.600 that's amazing that's amazing you're you're a great example of of accountability dude and

01:02:06.540 self-accountability and also like it sounds like even at your to me young age you've you've

01:02:12.840 developed uh this understanding of like silver lining in in the the struggles of life and and

01:02:18.960 the things that you learn from not having dad around and things that you learn from the injury

01:02:22.880 and uh as kanye said to quote him again everything i'm not made me everything i am you know and you

01:02:29.220 you know you you did these things to to make yourself proud and to drive your own life not

01:02:35.480 to make somebody else proud so i mean you're fucking awesome dude thank you bro appreciate 0.59

01:02:39.840 that agree it's it's a it's super noble bro it's uh the maturity is admirable it also sounds like 0.82

01:02:46.740 you and i i really admire this it sounds like you are going to be the one to kind of break that

01:02:51.280 generational chain of the lack of what it means to be a man and fatherhood what that responsibility

01:02:59.600 entails which is is super admirable because uh at some point in your lineage a chain's got to be

01:03:06.040 broken yeah you know I remember seeing like because my grandfather has always put like the

01:03:11.260 whole family on his back and like he worked and worked and like he'd bring the check home to my

01:03:15.420 grandmother and be like do whatever you want but he works and works and like he's even retired now

01:03:20.020 and he still shows up to the same job he gets up at 4 a.m does the same thing but that same work

01:03:25.260 ethic is in my mom like I saw my mom struggle with me and my sister like so much you know and

01:03:30.480 My dad would send like $9, $18 in child support just to be like a slap in the face, you know, but my mom made it work.

01:03:38.920 And like, I'd say with my mom, she's more like, uh, she wants to keep you boxed in and safe and don't take the risk.

01:03:45.880 Like, I even remember I got the opportunity to go to Mexico and wrestle.

01:03:49.280 And that was like, you know, being somebody that's an independent wrestler.

01:03:52.860 If you wrestle in Mexico, that makes you an international wrestler now.

01:03:56.480 And I was like, I got to go.

01:03:57.700 my mom's like the cartels there and all this stuff and putting this all in my head and what

01:04:02.180 if you can't get back and i was like mom i gotta go and like she started seeing how i was and like

01:04:07.400 she knew i had a good head on my shoulders but like i gotta do this yeah i knew it's like being 0.98

01:04:11.920 a mom like protects you doesn't want you to jump off the ledge but it's like fuck how do i know 0.97

01:04:16.540 if i could fly i'm a peacock mom you gotta let me fly you gotta let me fly baby dude i want to talk 0.98

01:04:23.820 about uh real quick i want to talk about the brutality of wrestling oh dude dude this is a

01:04:29.580 rough sport dude i mean this is gnarly bro like dude it's crazy people throw around the word fake

01:04:35.760 and i'm just like yo yeah i don't think you have the right idea yeah of what we're doing here dude

01:04:42.640 it's crazy i i saw a clip the other day it was like a stunt man and he's like on like a pulley

01:04:47.880 and he gets like yanked and he like perfectly hits his shoulder on the windshield of the car

01:04:52.120 twists off and then hits like a semi on the side and falls and like they get pretty banged up yeah

01:04:57.860 but when i take myself like out of it and i'm like okay well let me put myself in my shoes as

01:05:04.380 a wrestler it's like well we don't have the bungee cord like we're gonna if you're getting

01:05:08.400 thrown like that you're gonna take it you know and i mean you know how it is like ladder matches

01:05:13.420 you know like or you're going through a table or just anything you know laying there letting a guy

01:05:18.660 jump on you like that's a grown man landing on yeah and if he weighs 250 him coming down is not

01:05:24.240 250 way more yeah so it's yeah well I mean also with 50,000 people watching and you're on live

01:05:32.760 tv there's no safety net you can't make a mistake yeah if you do your job and potentially your

01:05:38.420 physical health is in danger yeah it's it's it's insane man are there any uh anything come to mind

01:05:44.480 like you ever really been rocked in the middle of a match for sure yeah um getting rocked happens a

01:05:52.320 lot yeah it does oh like what the well why that's all that's other thing man like this you got it

01:05:57.960 like you're really fighting people out there you're trusting them while you're fighting them

01:06:02.480 it's just like weird dichotomy it's just like doesn't make any sense it's the weirdest thing

01:06:06.860 in the world right because it's like hey this is what's gonna happen but like this guy gets more

01:06:13.020 over he gets more money he gets more fame more matches more publicity and then you kind of do

01:06:19.940 your thing but it's like so it's it's it's like yeah that the business of it all is weird very

01:06:25.700 weird you mentioned earlier like yeah you'll be you'll be pitched to creative and sometimes you're

01:06:31.480 like yeah i don't really like that or like can we do it a little different or i don't i don't i

01:06:38.840 don't think i agree with the outcome how do you handle how do you personally handle creative in

01:06:46.400 wwe and are you going to kind of try to steer the ship a little bit or are you going to be

01:06:53.560 a good independent contractor and do your job i like that you brought this up because

01:06:59.000 i felt like uh that change coming in myself uh like right before the hernia like on the down

01:07:07.480 I was just kind of like dang like I always did all the media I always showed up everywhere I always 0.79

01:07:13.440 you know did the job if I had to do the job like I did this I did that and it's like damn it feels

01:07:19.280 like it's not really like paying off or like helping me you know what I mean and kind of now

01:07:24.260 I just uh Matthew McConaughey said this and uh he was like um there's a difference between um

01:07:31.860 a nice man and a good man a nice man's gonna say yes to everything a good man is gonna stand up

01:07:37.460 for what he believes in. And kind of hearing that, I was like, yeah, I was like, I know what I'm

01:07:43.160 doing. You know, I could put a match together. I can come up with ideas. I've been doing this a

01:07:49.760 long time. You know, I've been respectful. I've been, you know, in these situations, I have equity.

01:07:55.840 I need to do things a little different now when I come back, you know, like I want to be in a

01:07:59.700 different spot. I want to be treated differently. You know, not that I was, you know, being treated

01:08:03.740 bad. It's just kind of being like, Hey, like, look what you got here. You know, like I know what I

01:08:10.220 got because I work on it every day and I feel like it could always be better, but I know how good it

01:08:15.720 is. So this is where I stand. So, and I've even had moments with you, you know, where we've been

01:08:21.880 given something and I've kind of like, just like, you know, and you're like, I don't think Austin

01:08:27.320 Theory says that, you know? And I remember one of those moments with you and I was like, no, you're

01:08:31.440 right like that yeah this needs to change you know what i mean but now it's like you know when

01:08:37.440 something's set in stone when it's like hey logan in theory need to be in this match and this needs

01:08:43.280 to happen okay but how we get there how we do it doesn't have to be all these rules and all these

01:08:52.040 certain like bullet points it's like this is where we step up and we're like hey this is what we could

01:08:57.200 do and i feel like even with you it's like yeah you haven't been wrestling a long time but the

01:09:03.860 level that you've been put into this at like you've got to understand it dude you know what i

01:09:09.500 mean and it's like yeah like even me i'm still learning you're learning but it's like you're

01:09:14.200 kind of understanding like oh but that that works for that guy that doesn't work for me yeah yeah

01:09:20.200 yeah well it's dude wwe is massively about the ability to tell a story yep and whether that's

01:09:27.600 a verbal story or a physical story it's really just storytelling i've i've i've become a better

01:09:33.300 storyteller because of wrestling i've been scripting a lot of uh pretty big youtube videos

01:09:38.340 this year that are coming out later but i'm realizing like it's almost becoming second

01:09:43.040 nature partially because every day we come in here and we talk about what we're going to say

01:09:46.740 for the day or even building a match it's like there is a pattern if you if you are a astute

01:09:52.220 fan and you pay attention to the matches you will see like there is a pattern in most matches and

01:09:57.640 not just in in wrestling matches in movies and in books like a good story follows pretty similar

01:10:04.820 beats and the beats can vary in length but it's made me a better storyteller and although i'm not

01:10:10.900 incredibly yet like super articulate in in wrestling i do understand a good story so i

01:10:17.540 was able to take take that skill set and when i'm being pitched a match or like speaking uh or a

01:10:25.640 promo talk um i'm able to understand like yeah i don't think that character would do that in that

01:10:32.540 moment or like we're not there yet that doesn't make sense or i'm not i'm not buying that yeah

01:10:36.580 Because I do think wrestling, like, where this industry gets really exciting is when things are believable.

01:10:45.420 Like, when people are like, yo, is that real?

01:10:48.680 Either asking that question, is that real?

01:10:50.840 Or they're completely sold on it.

01:10:52.580 It's like that gray area, right?

01:10:53.860 Yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%.

01:10:55.840 When you look at the future of this business, because, man, you're a shining star right now.

01:11:01.920 And, like, you can go a lot of different directions.

01:11:03.740 do you know do you have any idea where you see yourself in the wwe in the future

01:11:07.860 uh i i definitely believe that it'll be great uh but i don't like i said before with like

01:11:14.800 dreaming to be in wwe i don't know what the detail is yeah but i think now like you know

01:11:20.920 if you're in this and you're like oh i don't want to be the wwe champion or the world heavyweight

01:11:25.200 champion like i feel like you should you know want to be you know and you should strive for that

01:11:30.540 um i just think like if i bust my ass every day and i try my best to find the flaws and the errors

01:11:38.260 and the things i could be better at it's gonna be great whatever that mountain is yeah you know but 0.74

01:11:43.740 i definitely see myself up there yeah like without a doubt let me ask you something obafemi is he a 0.86

01:11:49.740 problem you know uh I think you know somebody that can beat Brock Lesnar it's uh it's very 0.90

01:12:03.660 impressive I'm a little concerned I'll be honest with you I'm a little I'm slightly concerned I'm

01:12:07.480 not really concerned about many guys here like Obafemi's like uh like he's a he's a he's a he's

01:12:12.620 a machine man I don't know what else to say yeah but I will say if uh when it comes to Obafemi

01:12:18.000 me i wouldn't want to be by myself but when i know i got you next oh bro different story yeah

01:12:26.020 yeah yeah braun breaker with us this is a numbers game when bronson reed comes back yeah like i say

01:12:31.780 we just jump him i agree you know why not because i mean he's just gonna take it all yeah and if we

01:12:36.940 just stand on the side like there ain't no vision yeah but i think i think we're kind of seeing what

01:12:42.360 division is going to be there yeah yeah i agree bronson bronson reed i think is just over halfway

01:12:47.980 through his six-month recovery now i will say if i see oba throw bronson reed like that pizza

01:12:55.900 toss no that's slightly concerning i uh i think we might need to go to the jet and go back to

01:13:03.020 puerto rico yeah and have another drink make a have another drink make a plan dude i got pizza 0.75

01:13:10.300 a fucking toss by oba yeah at the rumble i had before as well with my it was my old tag partner 0.99

01:13:16.900 grayson waller uh i actually was about to beat oba femi in nxt it was a triple threat match oh shit 0.99

01:13:22.680 one two grayson waller pulled the ref i was like whole crowd goes crazy they said turn on him

01:13:30.000 turn on grayson i walked to the rope i'm looking at him he's looking at me and then out of nowhere

01:13:34.940 oba gets up from behind grabs me from behind horrible i'm just like where am i going just

01:13:39.860 throws me across the ring.
