snippets of everything but then over the
course of like two or three weeks every
panel eyes have been taped I've ate the
entire thing okay so I'm gonna upload
the entire thing eyes yeah you've got my
car yeah just a little support and don't
be posting it as I get it up all right
cool
oh my god I would go I've done he died
really
maybe you might get kind of
developer
without getting serious now we're
getting serious
look
fight everybody time
I use perspectives of universe to be
taught to do is introduce to you your
WWE Champion and
I do not recall I'm sorry I did I feel
like Holly North sitting up there that
really it really takes pain that's how
old I am ever it is that's my weird
obscure reference for the day hi how's
everybody doing
feels pretty awesome actually this blows
my mind alive you already know the first
job I ever had my life has been
encounter shadows poison and I would
ascribe to take out the garbage and
stuff that the lazy guy behind the
counter didn't want to do you give me
comics and stuff like that so it's cool
to compete you know the people are
running it because I remember the day
wizard first came out so it kind of
blows my mind and now I'm here and you
know all you have come to see me and I
got the Caesars family or at school it's
in Philly - yeah
I used to live here and the place is
sort of like my journal I had a lot of
homes I hope they're good I know I want
to start off by saying my company the
way they do things they had all these
questions like written out that they
wanted people to ask like it was no part
of the French but it was a phony
bullshit anybody out there actually
Adams was really hoping there's gonna be
some intelligent conversation
Italian conversation in the comic-con
involving pro wrestling is probably
we're gonna get our best shot so if we
have people just making sure nevermind
man take pictures of all of you because
he also basically I got a I got a phone
call I used to work at underwriters
laboratory north of Chicago it was it
was a real job I did not job was
strictly to support I would show up late
I would leave early I wouldn't show on
Fridays sometimes I would show up on
Wednesdays because any recipe and Ron
Charles that burger third and yeah and
you know Ring of Honor was like the
place to be and I remember when they
first started they had Eddie on their
show and Cabana and I and a phrase that
actually got by movie I was what I
always call the junta slinger I work for
whoever from whatever wherever and that
is making a lot of friends I remember a
lot of people were you know I never
understood working for just like one
company I was an independent
pro-wrestling I wanted to work
everywhere and get as much experience as
I possibly could and I remember working
for me and you know I think he wasn't
pants a lot
we drove 15 hours from Chicago and down
the street maybe show with st. Joe's
our way show and gave had already booked
me in cabana but we weren't working that
show in the blue be a show and many
asked us he said please don't go work
there please and I just died that never
how is so uncomfortable I don't
understand that I was like they're not
going to be billions of dollars yeah
there's no exclusivity here like I'm
gonna walk down the street right now and
commanding Altima which as you know
stuff his own baby was done to they
simply no no it'll be cool we're I think
we're already booked the Ring of Honor
but we weren't booked on that show so we
worked meanie show and then I grabbed
the Cabana by the scrum literally we
literally walked down the street and I
walked in and you know hey how you doing
nice to meet you and he was like wow
what you guys doing here we're not
working already so I thought I'd come
check the place out can I go cut a promo
and if you if anybody's ever seen that I
walked out and I think I said hey I
heard there's a wrestling back in
Philadelphia
yeah man with me and the rest as they
say
Billy compared to other wrestling towns
obviously it's no secret affiliate fans
are very very passionate Billy's
eventually that was for some reason you
like the Eagles Billy said the Eagle
penalties so extremely passionate Philly
was always the town
I think deal one of the first that would
just cheer the bad guys you guys like
you know and you turn the Midnight
Express baby face which is pretty you
know obviously New York Philly in
Chicago to me of the the three real
cities that are left that are extremely
passionate about wrestling there's a lot
of places that have a lot of history but
you know the fans are gone they're not
the same fans you know think it's a
generational thing but Philly in New
York in Chicago they always seem to have
their roots firmly planted like they
remember stuff they respect the past so
Philly's
anyone fire be a professional wrestler
the advice I give to anybody aspire to
be a pro wrestlers the advice I give
anybody inspiring to be whatever you
want don't let anybody tell you that you
can't do it you want to be a doctor a
baseball player you want to be a comic
book artist if you want to be a pro
wrestler you want to fly an airplane you
want to dig a ditch that's what you
wanted to find what you love to do this
will do it for a living
don't let anybody tell you you can't do
it but if you're going to get into the
pro wrestling business obviously it's
not easy and you have to you have to
love it
you know the travel is brutal but if you
do love it like I love it you'll have
the best time of your life you know it
doesn't matter if you can be in the
worst situations and still try to find
the positive about it it's a pretty well
business so the big who's been your
favorite motivates this is an easy
question
believe it or not Rey Mysterio I
wrestled Rey
I don't know how many times you know
I've wrestled a good guy and a bad guy
and there's just I don't know there's a
unique chemistry and I think rate has
great chemistry with a lot of people I
think me and him for some reason just
bring out the best of each other you
mentioned on Twitter that your DVD is
coming along fantastically would you say
Karen Karen sort of in charge of it what
are those pictures in those their
statement yeah plus the fire I went
through it I've done about like a bunch
of old old pictures of me and it's funny
because I think people to learn I like
it
like where it take that I'm embarrassed
but this is this DVD is something else
it's it's 100% honesty this I don't know
if you can see this this is their here's
here's your filly Wizard World
exclusive I don't even know how old I am
here I have to be 15 16 I'm straight-up
Fred progressing in a backyard picture
it's gonna be it's gonna be awesome
there's there's a ton of good stuff
there's some there you go before John
Cena was wearing a chain in 1999 in West
Allis Wisconsin from that American
wrestling and I was wearing a change
because it was punk rock before it was
economics really you guys can't see any
of these I don't know why I'm showing
you this there's a really cute picture
of the Polka Vanna where I'm not wearing
my Cub Scouts are wearing a Canadiens
hockey yeah so the DVDs come along
awesome thank you and I'm actually right
for what's going to be left on like the
cutting room floor because we we've
jumped a lot of cool stuff today is
actually the last day we're filming
which sucks because you should come to
Atlanta not now but leaving for Spain on
Tuesday but the Tuesday after Thursday
there's something or other
bouncing so that's another it's very
hands-on he probably hates my guts by
now
I'm just trying to try to make it
different than all the other dvds and
trying to make it extremely honest you
know and it's it's good I think it
should come on October which is the best
month a year anyway
as I've literally done everything I
possibly can
except for make the damn things myself
and the only problem with that is I'm
never home
so I wouldn't be able to make them by
contemplating writing a letter to Ben
and Jerry's and pleading my case and
trying to get it done all my resources
it I don't know if it's an office thing
if its back with the rolling of the eyes
and playing a t-shirt up there leave it
money I think they're leaving money on
the table with this and where I come
from you leave money on the table
somebody comes by and they grab it you
know and I'll be damned if someone's you
know stealing my Isaac goodbye I'm still
working on it it's it's a pain in the
ass sorry I'm sorry everybody I love ice
cream a lot
labor of love so if you forget anything
else other than resting busy which one
of it I don't know yeah I don't know
it's all I've ever done it's kind of
weird you know I never aspired to do
anything else I never went to college
which is probably really awful to say go
to school I never wanted to do anything
else
this was it so I don't know I guess I
would be an adventurer be like Indiana
Jones
well we're here so the next question a
lot of people have it is tip you're a
comical character but our ability
you like invisibility and it's that's a
good one good alright so much but this
this question is actually it's kind of
rooted in why I dislike Superman because
I guess so if you were invisible right
and do you like girls yet I was to to be
able to turn these visible there's no
way
indestructible you can fly you can
disintegrate people with laser beams
from into eyeballs and I I just
everybody has bad days you know there's
all kinds of stories out there about me
being a big jerk you know certain people
catch me at the wrong time like you know
at 5 in the morning if you're sticking a
camera at my face when I'm trying to be
he's probably not you know and if I was
Superman that was happening I wouldn't
melt you I don't know being able to fly
would be pretty pretty cool
what's up I tend to think I'm
indestructible anyway so maybe that's my
superpower yeah it's a hard question you
know that all of these and think about
it multiple you can fly I thought that I
wouldn't want I would not want to be
able to read people's minds that
nobody's ever actually thought about
that how awful that would be because I
know I have
sociopathic thoughts
I don't want anybody reading my favorite
superhero that's it's kind of a hard one
to say I I've always been a fan guy but
I think that it has a lot to do with
like my personality and the fact that
this is also another thing arts and the
comic-book community of I think Gotham
City is Chicago it's always been Chicago
Gotham City is a tradition
but I've never really been super super
huge into the Batman comic book that's
because I'm kind of a snob about who's
writing and you know right now the the
Scott Snyder stuff is amazing so I the
first tattoo I ever got was the cover of
the Operation Ivy album so that I think
I was 16 years old - yeah that was the
first one see if we can make you run
that over anyway I don't get any more I
got the tons of the room my legs are
still wide open
- Rob Lurie no I mean I got my chest
done a couple days after actually think
the day after I got elbow surgery a
couple years ago because I thought I
would have time off and they brought it
to TV the next week so now that was when
I exploded my hip I've never I've never
ever had time off it's fascinating
I don't know how I do it
some of the meaning behind the rugged
Riveter test here you got rosing behind
Rosie is the wretches which is a earth
crisis thing which straightedge correct
and the banner says this is a war and
Rosie's ex stuff I'm a FEMINIST but
believe it or not I respect for women I
think women are the stronger all right
well that's going to be in for these
questions now your questions my favorite
match I've ever competed in that kind of
puts me on the spot there's been there's
been a lot I miss wrestling Joe I think
that the time period in Ring of Honor
Rose I was working Joe and I work Jimmy
Rave I had I think selfishly because
that was all that was all lead to an
expense not the in-ring stuff but like I
legit got Joe drunk one night and talked
him into wrestling me for 60 minutes and
I was like yep we're doing 60 minutes
like oh this is my hustle this is such a
creative area Joe woke up the next day
and use of what I do you know creatively
I had all these ideas and I had an
outlet and gave trusted me enough to be
able to do it the the summer a punk
stuff when I walked into old
I signed a contract but I literally laid
out I go but this is what we're gonna do
we're not gonna tell anybody everyone
don't think I'm gone
we're gonna try building that we're
gonna stab in the heart that was you
know that was all from my sociopathic
brains so that's that's like that my
favorite time just because I was I was I
don't know at one point I felt like I
was really creative and being able to
wrestle guys like show stuff like that
it there's a pleasure I hope someday I
feel the wrestler McGann's and I think I
think the 10 year anniversary is coming
up maybe I'll quit go wrestle Joe who
inspired me I would say the two people
who inspired me to wrestle the most
number one Roddy Piper and number two
for some reason when I was a kid I was
really really drunk
- like fat chubby stripper Shawn
Michaels does that make performers wise
like I yeah I could tell you why like
that but I for some reason I recognized
that this guy was the best you know but
I wasn't smart to anything I just it was
just kind of like this intuition thing
I think you know the answer to this
hey Philly do I prefer to be a bad guy
or a good guy
yes my life over the past year is now
moving out I often put into situations
currently where I kind of have to do
this this cheesy good guy and there's
reasons for it I wouldn't be able to be
where I am if I were still the same talk
that was trying to get people to stab me
and set me on fire but that's what
happening that's it here so it's it's
kind of a double-edged sword you know
there's reasons for everything I do and
but yeah being a bad guy I think I'm
just so much better at it it is yeah I
don't know it's just something that was
born see but what does that mean or if I
thought if I go under every week and I
do what I did when I cut that problem in
Vegas it really it loses its sting just
but but you see what every week I stir
the pot and trust me it gets its old
see this is this is the crazy stuff I
did this was all things that lent me
these roads that led to the WWE because
I was I was at the end of my run on the
endings I was so bored and I'm very
rollin oriented like I need to do the
next thing I need to find out what the
next goal is and I need to conquer it
you know so thankfully there's still a
handful of things I need to do in the
WWE otherwise I I don't know what I
would do but you know I was always
trying to push the envelope and it was
one of those things our show was run in
the same building the front was a strip
club and like the back was it was like a
nightclub and we were running the show
in there me and this Falls Count
Anywhere so absolutely I was like well
what happens if we go fight in the strip
club tell everybody like you know what's
gonna happen you want to almost do it so
we did it like nobody knew what was
going on those those girls had no idea
so that was all that was all pretty
spontaneous and it's just goofing around
and having fun yeah
and are big stars and every obviously
going back to this has until now
I mean it's it's pretty cool yeah I'm
too close to it so really I think
appreciate but I mean a lot of people
tell me you know a lot of you in the
crowd today really yeah you know I
supposed to see at the Murphy rec center
and it's a it's a pretty wild ride
pretty wild story you sit and think
about it you know I mean he was he's
been fired from this company two times
you know he was he was hired early his
career that developmental wrestler and
he got fired and then obviously he was
fired like a summer to ago you know and
there's me who you know everybody since
the beginning of times I worked for Ian
rotten told me I would never work here
because obw was a developmental
territory and they may be in I
essentially and I think that's a big
part of my DVD too is I'm essentially
the guy that was never ever supposed to
make it to the WWE and Here I am he
asked me if I respect Daniel Bryan
of course I respect Daniel Bryan
I respect that Ellen no I think I think
of a day like he's better than I am when
there's certain things you better at
there's certain things and I'm better
than him and I think it's a great great
marriage in the ring you know you
probably haven't seen anything yet
because I know where I worked them last
night
and our the first time we ever work on
how to show so that's that's one of the
stuffs really going to get crazy
we might not wrestle that I would like
to wrestle there's a lot of there's a
some you said Kelly Kelly
rustling guys my breathing's are the the
handspring again there's so many
somebody option I feel really fortunate
that I was able to wrestle Undertaker
and I was living out my weird like oh
this is sort of like wrestling Jason
Voorhees fantasy yeah and I just have to
keep being aggressive and that's the
stuff I'd like to do I like to be super
aggressive Shawn Michaels is one
obviously I don't think that's gonna
happen though
hey guys obviously I think ovals even
awesome I don't know people want to see
that for some reason I think I would
like to get the rings of the rock - I
think right now that's more viable
option because he cut a promo before we
left again and we wanted to be WWE
Champion again so I'm here there's a lot
of people that I wish I could arrest
them fella that I never got a chance to
something like Buddha you know I could
say they're gonna talk about that
forever right here I was working with
Raven Raven was the first guy to really
kind of teach me stuff everything
everything else was just like you know
I want to do this and then okay well I
want to do this and then it's your turn
it's my turn
he taught me a lot of stuff that being
said he kind of worked in after a while
but I was married to the guy to link a
year you know but he did you did teach
teach me a lot all right here I got the
time special memories about a girl
another guy was fortunate enough to
wrestle multiple multiple times and Anna
the guy was a friend of mine you know he
was a he's actually the first person
that called me after I fractured my
skull you know and he do usually what
did you do you know he's look at that
breaker that Eddie was the guy to tell
me you know it's not the moves you do it
when we doing no I wish you would've
told me a week thanks yeah I got a I got
a special relationship with his
daughters and maybe too so that it
carries on so it's a it's pretty cool
isn't it you know he was the greatest
all right yeah top sometimes a great
memories about a
I don't know if I talked about this in
my DVD but I remember when I was bored
with the Andes and I had done everything
and I've been everywhere I could
possibly go and I think the main the
main thal of any wrestler should be to
find out if he could be a draw you could
draw money if you can fill a room people
right so I wanted to I wanted to get a
job and Tommy Dreamer was like book you
love a lot and I asked him if it was one
of those it might just be an extra I can
be eating catering and fill in a spot or
if you actually want to look at me and
he said the company actually wants to
take a look at you you know I said wow
okay well then do me a favor and call me
the next time here in town because it's
I'm not ready yet and that's when I
really kicked my ass and got best shaped
my life I changed my gear I changed my
look up and I went and I was I was doing
darks like crazy I worked I think the
two TV things I did something with no
luck Nathan and a tag and I worked Val
Venis I did it dark against Scotty 2
hotty and I will get dark events and
Matt Cappotelli where I want because he
forgot to kick out of the backbreaker
and I thought that totally good night
now
I well in a really weird match I worked
amazing read in a dark in Hershey
Pennsylvania and I do I was I was so
cocky on say not getting to higher this
is a great awesome and then what they
Johnny wasn't going to come walk with me
come on well walking down the hallway
and I think it actually wasn't Hershey
music you know would you what do you do
for a finish and I explained I was like
well I do the an account advice follow
Bob it's no good he did something
high-impact
you got it's not so much the finish it's
what you do before the finish and this
is exactly what he says walking down the
hallway I understand up he says that
says Austin also get the pictures
another star you know each other leg I
would do peacetime ace pressure
I was finding it - denied like my head's
spinning I've stopped listening he's
still talking so all I see is thinking
wait a second - Austin a Hogan rock he
just threw himself does he he found help
that I've seen him wrestle I know who he
is
like dynamic dude like the music videos
going through my head he talks for like
another 10 minutes and then he was so
good and I was just like yeah johnny is
actually an okay guy believe it or not I
I think he's perfect for the role he has
on TV because he he's the bumbling
middleman his lumber from his face and
he's good at like sucking at it you know
like oh man
it's watching him on the microphone so
funny
all right you recently teased on Twitter
that you're gonna be doing something
bigger Polly but won't give us much to
go with the workplace of ECW can you
give us something to kind of grab water
yeah what's the next question
this is Ben this is it yeah
realistically no I I was home Thursday
and before that two weeks ago I was home
for 22 hours so I try to jam it's not
healthy I feel like you think I need to
go home in hybrid air I know I really do
a lot of you are like oh you look really
tired today
Thanks I try to jam as much as I
possibly can because I'm not I'll never
hold you know it's there's a Cubs game
we'll go to the Cubs game yeah but it's
always on I'm at the Cubs game and you
know people have their autographs and
pictures and stuff like that you know
make Valentine doesn't exist it just
doesn't there's there's two guys I mean
the talent pool is never been thinner
and how many guys were suspended right
now there's two reaiized right now and
you know yeah they're wearing us out but
we can handle it it's me and you know I
wish there was more we need more guys
you know but I like to be outside and I
work out way too much and I mean perfect
downtime is real no Cubs game with like
Cabana you know hanging out going to
jail
it's a whole skinny-fat kind of thing I
like to have fun oh the young man in the
red way back
I think everybody in the company is ID
bill people that that you people don't
know exists and I bother them constantly
about the same things out there with the
ice cream question it's something that
should have been done a long time ago
there is a new title I've seen it and
probably get in trouble for saying it I
don't know if it's any better looking
than that one
there's some I want my classic - there's
I gotta look at it again but I mean to
what you know what it's it's better than
this thing if it's better than this it's
better than this it they literally just
made it and it's it's about 20 pounds
heavier than that woman any wood held
that one like this things are 30 times
ridiculous so we're making sure we're
making another one and I keep preaching
that I must be the guy if I'm not the
guy that introduces a new title that I'm
a liar and I don't want to be a liar
it's out there it's coming soon probably
a lot sooner than the ice cream bars
do I like man that's hard to say at now
I mean that's offensive Rob wasn't what
were they they get bit by the I don't
think they wind up in some different
alternate universe were like Steelers in
love with apparent worlds without in a
scallop a little salad
if you don't talking about yeah world
without in that money violence and then
of course our momentum goes to threat
natural cold slender do you think are
working with those boards within like
superheroes and supervillains help you
develop your character no I I think my
wrestling stuff's been more rooted in in
reality you know I don't think I picked
up anything you know I mean obviously I
think that something from the things
that that that's a sick of it okay - I
know I have the to have almost never
been like married to one another you
know I think my wrestling world my comic
book world has been kind of separate
that's why this today is so rad it's
very very cool right here
what they should be diverse the most
what finishing maneuver hurts the most
what she wouldn't be fine yeah I mean it
all it all depends I know what how how
it is never fun today to the chokeslam
that's a that's a coughing up blood kind
of situation give them the words I think
they all pay off suckers they all they
all suck yeah it depends it's all you
know prevented I'll and you might have
twisted
any good stories or experiences from
working in Japan do you guys know what
the Yakuza is Japanese manga and
it may or may not run things in Japan
not just on the pro-wrestling side I
remember every time I would be over
there they would specifically say you
know oh please this side of the Ring
stay away from it and then you get out
there and you just see you see the Bob
sitting there all wearing suits all
wearing sunglasses and they just kind of
stay away from there was one zero one
magic word one of the one of the young
boys was wrestling and he was beaten up
Jukka sigh and one of the inclusive was
a big Jew Kasai fan just jumped in the
ring and like stood over him you know
like stop beating up on the side and a
young boy like tried something and his
dude like legit gently like roundhouse
kick
and they picked him up and then they
dragged him to the back and I remember
sitting in the back watching them those
latter know over his face already and
dragging them back and Hashimoto and
like maybe Otani were walking behind him
and there was like 18 because the guys
like all walking and they all went into
a room and it was like that scene in
Pulp Fiction
where you know they leave the camp with
Bruce Willis ain't no Marcellus Wallace
and they close the door like turn around
and are close to doing I was just and I
look again like they're gonna kill I
don't know what happened in that room I
did I probably couldn't talk about it
yes wonder my idea to do a field
sobriety test
and the H like at first thought of it
and then there you know like they had
their ideas for and I was like wait
don't they make me say the alphabet
backwards and they're like yeah but
nobody could do that I said what if
somebody can it's sort of like the strip
club think it's just like well there's
this strip club here let's just see what
happens and yes thank you very much it's
gonna dump them at the health events
yeah but that was that was uh you know
that was the genesis of that you know
they were look and everyone was like you
can't do it can't you and then I just
did it like just thinking about it and
then I had to go write it down and I
practice and stuff I nailed it every
single time and of course Kendra
I'll try
I'm not promising anything
I have no idea what I'm doing it they
don't know when I'm moving in they like
to write the TV shows at 7:00 p.m. I
can't promise anything this I don't want
to break your promise to look like a
sweet girl my least-favorite you I I
looked back with great disdain on the
sampling facial stuff back because I
actually I love wrestling Big Show to me
it's easy it is it's it's a giant guy
you did you get beat up and then you
lose us
I love wrestling him because I I always
crack him up it's the worst
so it's kind of a thing being his do I
just hated the fact that they had
something in the SES and then they
dismantled it and you know like three
guys against one yes he's a giant but
still like the SES was something and it
was something that it could have been so
much greater and they they really they
really no offense Kent but it really I
don't know I would imagine that writers
no longer run TV because he complained
about not being on TV sometimes wait
wait a minute are you guys sisters
slapshot Hanson brothers
what that's right up there with like
that you know favorites of GI Joe so
it's it's kind of hard I don't know if I
have a favorite episode but I got you
know favorite quotes and moments and
stuff like that actually Sunday means
some of the most memorable ones are like
monorail or planning mode goes through
those are good ones
how about one second okay
my favorite masculine attitude I don't
know this is the weird thing about the a
lot of that stuff is hazy enough because
I get hit in the head a lot because I
started wrestling in 97 and yeah I still
kept tabs on stuff but it was very
difficult to like I kind of stopped
being that hard for really I was just
sitting there watching anymore I was out
doing it and I was trying to wrestle
like anywhere everywhere I could so I
missed a lot of stuff but the Attitude
Era stuff I think my dad already
developed is good at this was 96 so I
don't even I don't even know when it
started stopped 97 so this doesn't count
I think this is 96 but mankind Shawn
Michaels the second part of your
commitment my favorite master can be if
I old school it's either just a straight
up one fall or like I like to do it to a
degree that I've been doing a lot of to
out of threes lately I was doing with
Ziggler and stuff like that and that's
on my ideas we have it I don't know baby
but new our house shows I refusing all
of my events
but we have like the it's a kind of like
a mini raw stage you know so it looks
more like TV and if there's big-screen
TVs and I don't know what is it it's
right up there the title and the ice
cream I mean I saw that thing and I
turned to somebody like Michael Hayes
and I was like we're gonna put a clock
on that thing he's like wait I don't see
why not
six months later we still cannot figure
out how to put a clock on the big screen
I want to do an Ironman matches doing
when I was just like I'll talk with
Alberto bell tolling swagger on home
it's Ziggler I always don't air voids I
don't mean you are a bad man shit but
you know can't figure out how to put a
clock screen which is very telling is
there anybody in FCW that I really want
to miss with no offense to FCW but I
think obw will always be the top and I
was there on bias but it was it was
legit like and I don't use this word a
lot it was magical I mean there was
there was so many talented people down
there one somebody tell to do make of
the television in FCW right now they've
ever had a deeper more amazing talent
pool I mean if you're seeing a lot of
them are coming up the TV area
Cesaro who's Claudio Chris hero's down
there now yes Tyler black was on the
road now Ashley he's only Brussels last
night in Alexandria Ambrose obviously
yeah I have a soft spot for Dean Ambrose
and it really makes me feel all because
a lot of these guys like sort of say
that they
look up to me which is really weird
there's a Panthers there's something
here somebody guys down there right now
I always call them Aaron up and the idol
stevens what's in a box back down though
Damien Sandow yeah he's awesome - like
it's maxed out right now you know
there's a lot of fresh talent I would
love being idle we'll be able to put on
a show
I would love to wrestle him in can't
stand out I think Ambrose is a really
special guy and so I'm doing my best to
make sure that please don't be offended
is I am texting that I am excellent
multitasker like if I can drive a car
right now it would that you would be
shocked that I liked I don't know I like
good comments so I don't know if you'd
be shocked like what what would shock
you anything I like I never read the
comics I think it was very much because
of the characters and then it turned it
to art and then I finally kind of came
to my senses and I read stuff based on
who's writing it because even if I don't
like Superman if somebody like Warren
Ellis is writing and I know it's gonna
be good so I go like oh by the way
I try to jam as much as I possibly can
I'll never hold you know it's there's a
Cubs game we'll go to the coast yeah but
it's I'm always on I'm at the Cubs game
and you know people are at their
autographs and pictures and stuff like
that you know i mean valentine doesn't
exist it just doesn't there's two guys i
mean the town fools never been thinner
how many guys were suspended right now
there's two guys right now and you know
yeah they're wearing us out but we can
handle it it's me and you know I wish
there was more we need more guys you
know but I like to be outside and I work
out way too much and I mean perfect
downtime is go to a Cubs game with like
Cabana you know hanging out going to gym
it's a whole skinny fat guy thing I like
to have fun oh the young man in the red
way back
I think everybody in the company is
dignified
I keep Hill people that that you people
don't know exists and I bothered them
constantly about this damn thing it's up
there with the ice cream question it's
something that should have been done a
long time ago there is a new title I've
seen it and probably get in trouble for
saying it I don't know if it's any
better looking than that well there's
something I want the classic - there's I
gotta look at it again but I mean - like
you know like it's it's better than this
thing it's better than this it's better
than this
it literally just made it and it's it's
about 20 pounds heavier than that other
anything everybody held that one like
this thing's like 30 times
ridiculous so we'll make sure we're
making another one and I keep preaching
that I want to be the guy if I'm not the
guy that introduces a new title that I'm
a liar and I don't want to be a liar
it's out there it's coming soon probably
a lot sooner than the ice cream
do I like man that's hard to say at
that's offense bro listen what were they
they get bit by the I don't think they
wind up in something different and they
alternate universe we're like Steelers
in love with apparent worlds without end
of skeletal over salad if you don't mind
yeah world without in that money Milan
and then of course honorable mention
goes to dread natural cold slither and
like super heroes and super villains
help develop your character
no I because I think my wrestling steps
are more rooted in in reality you know I
don't think I picked up anything you
know I mean obviously I think that
something from this paint effect that's
a sick of it okay - I know I have the to
have almost never been like married to
one another you know I think my
wrestling world my counterfeit world has
been kind of separate
that's why this today so rad it's very
very cool right here what they should be
new reverse the most what patient
whoever hurts the most
why she wouldn't be fun yeah I mean it
all it all depends
I know what how how he is never fondant
is the chokeslam that's a that's a
coughing up blood kind of a situation
who gives up the worst I think they all
hope they all suckers they all they all
so yeah it depends it's all you know
depends on I lend you my twisted
any good stories or experiences from
working in Japan do you guys know what
the Yakuza is yeah Japanese mafia and
it may or may not run things in Japan
not just on the pro-wrestling side I
remember every time I would be over
there they would specifically say you
know hold please this side of the Ring
stay away from it and then you get out
there and you just see the you see the
bottom sitting they're all wearing suits
all wearing sunglasses and they just
kind of stay away from there was one
zero one at magic where one of the one
of the young boys is wrestling and he's
beaten up Jukka sigh and one of the
inclusive was a big Jew Kasai fan just
jumped in the ring and like stood over
him you know like stop beating up on the
side and a young boy like tried
something and this dude like legit
gently like roundhouse kick and then
they picked him up and then they dragged
him to the back and I remember sitting
in the back watching them those lateral
over his face already and dragging them
back in Hashimoto and like maybe though
time were walking behind him and there
was like 18 because our guys like all
walking and they all went into a room
and it was like that scene in Pulp
Fiction where you know they leave the
camp with Bruce Willis
ohayo Marcellus Wallace and they close
the door like
turn around and I closed it doing I was
a standard like I don't know what
happened in that room I did I probably
couldn't talk about it
yes one of my Z to do a field sobriety
test and like at first daughter's and
then there you know they had their ideas
for it that was a point don't think they
can say the alphabet backwards and
they're like yeah but nobody can do that
I said what if somebody can it's sort of
like the strip club thing it's just like
well there's a strip club here let's
just see what happens and yes thank you
very much it centered up there at the
alphabet yeah but that was that was uh
you know that was the genesis of that
you know there were and everyone was
like you can't do it can't you and then
I just did it like just thinking about
it and then I had to go write it down
and I practice and stuff I nailed it
every single time and of course out
there drum I'll try
I'm not promising anything I have no
idea what I'm doing it they don't know
what they like to write the TV shows at
7:00 p.m.
by the way I can't promise anything as I
my least favorite view I I looked back
with great disdain on the CM Punk big
show stuff not because I actually I love
wrestling big show to me it's easy it is
it's a giant guy you did you get beat up
and then you lose I love wrestling him
because I I always crack him up it's the
worst
so it's kind of a thing being Hindu I
just hated the fact that they they had
something in the SES and then they
dismantled it and you know like three
guys I guess one yes he would giant but
still like the SES was something and it
was something that it could have been so
much greater and they really really no
offense can't really top that one I
don't know I would imagine
Zach writers no longer run TV because he
complains about not being on TV
sometimes no wait wait a minute are you
guys sisters that's it so don't slap
shots on Hanson brothers what
that's right up there with like that you
know favorites of GI Joes or so it's
it's kind of hard I don't know if I have
a favorite episode but I got you know
favorite quotes and moments and stuff
like that actually something some of the
most number one deleted monorail or 20
mode those are good ones I like what
Homer it's really really bad
my favorite magical and had to air I
don't know this is the weird thing about
the a lot of that stuff is hazy enough
because I get hit in the head a lot
because I started wrestling in 97 and
yeah I still kept tabs on stuff but it
was very difficult to like I kind of
stopped being that hard for really I was
just sitting there watching anymore I
was out of doing it and I was trying to
wrestle like anywhere everywhere I could
so I missed a lot of stuff but the
Attitude Era stuff I think my that
already we don't just get this was 96 or
even I don't even know when it started
in stock 97 so this doesn't count I
think this is 96 but mankind Shawn
Michaels the second part of your
commitment my favourite match to compete
is I old-school is it's either just a
straight up one fall or like I like to
do it two or three that I've been doing
a lot of two out of threes lately I was
doing it with Stabler and stuff like
that and that's on my idea we have I
don't know maybe even to our house shows
I refuse to call the live events
but we have like the it's kind of like a
mini raw stage you know so it looks more
like TV and if there's big-screen TVs
and I don't know why is it it's right up
there with the title of the ice cream I
need I saw the thing and I turn to
somebody like Michael Hayes and I was
like we want to clock on that thing he's
like yeah I don't see why not
six months later we still cannot figure
out how to put in a clock on the big
screen I want to do a hired man matches
and I was just like I'll do it without
Berto I'll tell the swagger a little bit
simpler I hope you out there who is I
don't meet you everybody mansion but you
know can't figure out how to put a clock
on a big screen which is very telling
is there anybody an FCW that I really
want to know is no offense to FCW but I
think obw as it will always be the top I
was there on bias but it was it was
legit like and I don't use this word a
lot it was magical I mean there was
there was so many talented people down
there and one somebody tell to do was
made for the television in FCW right now
they've ever had a deeper more amazing
talent pool I mean that you're seeing up
a lot of are coming up the TV area
Cesaro who's Claudio Chris heroes down
there now yes Tyler black was on the
road now Ashley he's only wrestled last
night and
Alexandra and Ambrose obviously yeah I
have a soft spot for Dean Ambrose it
makes me feel all because a lot of these
guys like sort of say that they look up
to me which is really weird there's a
commander's there's something there's
somebody guys down there right now
I always call them Aaron up and the idol
stevens what's his name i expect down
though maybe it's sam down yeah it's
awesome - like it's maxed out right now
you know there's a lot of fresh talent i
would love me an idol would be able to
put on a show
I would love to wrestle him Dean can't
stand out I think Ambrose is a really
special guy and so I should do it my
best to make sure that please don't be
offended I guess I am texting that I am
excellent multitasker like if I could
drive a car right now it would like that
you would be shocked that I liked I
don't know I like good comics so I don't
know if you'd be shocked like what-what
would shock you about like Archie
I like I never read the comics I think
it was very much because of the
characters and then it turned into art
and then I finally kind of came to my
senses and I read stuff based on who's
writing it because even if I don't like
Superman if somebody like Warren Ellis
is writing and I know it's gonna be good
so I go like we're the guardrail like he
went through like try to get over it got
stuck on top and then there's no way
that like about the time we replay the
Alijah things about complexity it's just
parenting the rest ain't running and
screaming like a woman
was I may only I I was the only option
if you ask THQ and their you know
obviously it's their decision it's their
product it's their promotion they want
to be from from Jump Street as the kids
say I can't really comment if the the
office may have wanted somebody else
tried their damnedest to get somebody
else thank you we're all with CM Punk
and I I do it like a year ago you know
but the office spill I'm still that guy
I'm always going to be that guy you know
they'll always go no no we're not this
guy
it's funny I just watched in a vault
pay-per-view or a DVD I had it Curt
Hawkins actually having those best funny
and Resnick is shocking
and I was watching Bobby fish for Sami
Callihan enough and he's got a duty
hating each other as hard as they can
this is meaning Chris hero of 12 years
ago I have extremely fond memories of
wrestling Chris hero you know it's cool
the friendships you forge and like the
bonds and stuff like that and yeah you
you heard that what you love you I get
away with you know munching somebody I
like in the face because it's funny
unless like somebody that I don't know I
don't want them to think that but yeah I
wrestling wrestle hero I think that was
one of the first I like to say the
magical moments of my career where we
went up to get that ladder match it was
like how long you guys got I gotta be on
there anytime minutes fine don't worry
about it because we weren't the main
event there was something like you know
we're gonna crash food like to match
after us and yeah that was a wrestling
wrestle here was always awesome because
I think me and him both will constantly
evolving and changing and you know it
was always an interesting to see them
you know you can open every visit that
batch do it felt very different
it's very weird that it's silly we'd use
back Luigi I don't have superpowers yeah
I think it's yeah
you know what no wait yeah because
suspect Bam Bam and all their hit songs
sound from failure Beatles song you know
how does nobody call them on that very
cool back I'll answer the private here
the second question yet what are my
thoughts on Brock Lesnar and me feuding
with him I obviously think that's
reserved for somebody else when I would
I would love to I love to get in the
room at Brock I'll get the ring with
anybody you know I'll give anybody you
go that's I think that's kind of the
allure of me I think I can work well
with anybody whether it's ray or you
know Big Show I I'll always find a way
to make it work so to speak what's your
second one of my thoughts on Robert
Roode I don't know I think I may be
briefly smack him at the Nashville
fairgrounds like when I was kind of
working here I don't I honestly at this
this is the slight on TNA this is just
when I go home I still record it but
it's the first thing I believed without
watching when I get home I like I said
it's not because it's TNA it's the next
thing to go is Smackdown and then I just
felt I don't want to watch a wrestling
going on at home you know but it's like
I still can't take myself to take it off
the DVR mental that way but it's been a
while since I do I watched I so I really
can't
no problem and that's trust me that's
not just a safe answer like I you know
if I if I find stuff I would say socks I
think everyone knows that what what do
you want to shut this down okay I'm dead
serious I'm like what time does just
make sure that like do you have
something to do good I see your
doppelganger sitting out there I gotta
that's funny because I wanted your your
autographs on them for cars
I think there's a way to make everything
good you know that doesn't make it clear
that you've got a number you to work
with there's there's a way to you know
highlight everybody's positives and hide
away their negatives it
you know I just think that's one of
those things that we've gotten away from
on television unfortunately we screw up
more than we produce you know that's why
when something hits it's shocking I
don't want it to be shocking I wanted to
be the norm you know yeah there's a
there's a way to make it even better you
know I think a lot of people complain
that their matches are short but it
doesn't matter but the stuff in the ring
on television doesn't matter that people
need to have a connection to a character
they need to feel they can relate to a
character it doesn't matter if I have 26
minutes to wrestle every Monday night
unless they feel they can relate to me
and they know me you know you can take
Chris hero right now who's a great
wrestler is putting him on Raw for 30
minutes wrestling somebody know I'm
going to care cuz no one knows who he is
I think a lot of our fans don't know who
the Divas are you know melded
personalities you know so that probably
the best way
fight all those drilling whether it's
best for Matty or these Fox my favorite
cereal so when I finally was like I had
my own money I went and I bought I
actually I haven't eat cereal quite some
time I was really big fan of honey
sunshine from Kashi and she tried ma'am
over here no I did unfortunately Moscow
is built like a lot of old old old
cities where it is his rings and that's
to stop the fungal hordes so like a
we're of the center and then everything
is just built in rains like going
outside like we weren't close to
anything I went to the red square kind
of did touristy stuff cuz hey ones at
that time we're going to be in Moscow
but I I didn't I didn't get a chance no
sorry
will I ever go back to the mercury rec
center I don't know if you thought about
maybe going over my knee just to kind of
say hi who wants to be better working
specifically the market center no I'll
expand about that I I don't know if when
I'm done here I would ever work anywhere
else I don't know you know I
it's one of those things that if an
opportunity somewhere presented itself
to like maybe Russell Jo or do something
with Japan yeah but I would be one of
these guys that leaves here and
immediately starts grinding and you know
go on wrestling everywhere but there's
there's a I swear there's a break in my
future somewhere I just don't know where
it is but it's it's coming I think it's
elasticity healthy
yeah but I'm crazy a place but yeah I
like it Sarah is there anybody from the
president from the past you just
flat-out don't like to work with yeah
that's my go-to on this question I think
a lot of people are gonna literally
correct and there's they're afraid of
saying anything but I yeah Elijah I
think Elijah I got a lot of potential
but he's one of those guys that no he
doesn't get it he doesn't get it he was
he wanted to be something that he wasn't
like when he was a heel he wanted to be
a babyface he wanted to do okay and it
was it was point teeth rest one with him
and he's a diva too he would constantly
pull the oh I got a concussion in that
match tonight that's that's why I
screwed up all my stuff and if somebody
was like hey I screwed that stuff up I
suck I kept at least you know man up
there just a minute I I never really got
along with you and yeah I realized I'm
sure it's gonna make some sort of a big
headline there was no story that was
that was me I thought I was gonna get
the mic cut this is what happened with
that I was leaving and for some reason
they I share the TV and they're like
well you get your way into the area
grievances and I was like wow cool
really yeah so just you know write down
what you want and we'll show the bits
and I was like doesn't make any sense so
what I did is unfit out because I don't
want to get anybody fired up announced
it I wrote a phony one which kind of
proved and then I went out there and I
said whatever I wanted because there's
no way in hell bits would let me say
anything about Paul Heyman you never
would've let me say anything about Brock
Lesnar he never would have had me
mention giant there any there's certain
things that you know you know and the
funny part about that probably is the
reason I said hi to colca Matta is I
completely lost my train of thought
there's one of those surreal moments I
was sitting there and I was like I can't
believe I'm doing this right now I can't
believe they haven't shut my microphone
off what am I gonna say that and
interpret Vienna that I finally got the
wheels turning again
but no they that was kind of like the
trigger like I was going to say
something bad or revealing about offense
and that's when I got caught so that was
I literally thought I was we get the
phone the plughole
way before that but they they let it fly
well I think
or thing I just I think initially that
was the night that mercy became I'm
trying to try to get back to that I
think a lot of fault of my own I think I
think I've lost a little bit of that you
know but like I said I think it's it's
hard to it's hard to do that every week
you can't do that every week it becomes
normal it becomes boring about trying to
be stacked and I I do admit I think I
become a little bit maybe a lot of
stagnant I don't know well I worked at
pwg I probably had one of the worst PWD
mentions of all times like they were
visibly upset with us me and Steve
Corino campus it was awful because
Karina was at a point where he needed
care so I was just like well yeah okay I
could do that to him I could be
apathetic
and have you went out there it was
really very bad and has a tangent I
think pwg and I don't get to watch stuff
as much like I said I just watched it
evolve show and there's a couple of guys
that I thought had a lot of potential I
watching wrestling is it's something
that I don't do is often as I used to
for sure what was the second part
robos I finally got to be me it was
probably that was the first time I was
on TV for three years and I was just
like you know I don't know what I was I
was just like something guys you know do
it this stuff with Jeff and they will be
to be me I'm a bad guy the funny thing
about that story is never if it's called
me into his office means I got a
challenge for you guy and I went great
and then long-awaited story conversation
and he tells me Natacha not Jeff and you
know we're going to slowly turn me to
the dark side and I was looking at him
and he goes so I went what's the
challenge being healed what do you just
think are see if you can pull it off no
idea what you use no idea what you're
doing
I said if he just give me one month one
month I mean he taught bad guy in this
company and I wasn't I don't care what
anybody says I was three questions sir
it was Pete yeah I mean that's what I
did that Ring of Honor with Chris
Daniels and it was my idea then too you
know and a lot of the stuff I do is just
kind of throwback stuff to what I've
already done because I know it works you
know and it's a lot of those I ever I
did that Jeff thing and they're like
that doesn't make any sense of those
like don't guys seriously you have no
idea how much it's gonna piss everybody
off there's kids in this audience yeah
and it was one of the greatest thing
from people thought it was actually
Anthony's kids and they get all excited
what are we doing we're singing I can't
but I think everybody can do so here
this done everybody this is the this is
the sampler that's the kind of thing to
do ready 1 2 3
we're going to do three more I seriously
gotta go I pushed this 30 minutes past
what I was supposed to do here's here's
what I'm gonna do okay we're gonna have
one lady we need we need a question for
one lady I don't take one small child
and then one gentleman so and it makes
me I think they're having good questions
are we sure
okay we'll do gentleman in the Cubs
Jersey right there down the whole place
that we're going to do ladies first
okay steampunk shirt so sweet yeah I
know I don't but I I doesn't mean I to
foliage all the sort of details with my
life I don't know you gotta gotta give
me a good one when I could put on the
spot I don't know I can't just pull them
out you know so
well Kofi Kofi and I all because
coquí's my road of life we did
traveling together store menu I don't
know why I really want like he did the
day she showed the TV I was like you in
the car being him it never fails
obviously it's changed because I got a
bus now thankfully but him and I I think
this is the detail before civil police
is boring for you him and I constantly
constantly get pulled over and always
always harassed because how I look you
cannot tell that cop there was there was
one time they got really really bad we
were in we were like in Missouri we were
driving but we had rented the car in one
of the neighboring states okay so we
have an out-of-state car driving through
Zuri's I have a Chicago driver's license
Illinois State driver's license Kofi has
been half of Florida State driver's
license he is black he has dreadlocks
and I am covered in tattoos and I look
like I know how to make some pretty good
bat like but the time we got pulled over
we were literally about three and a half
hours and we still have like another
free to drive there cops pulled us over
cops ask me all kinds of questions I
know where this is headed it's happen to
be a dozen times the cop says coffee you
want Stefan guitar
like it's like they like a cut like a
deer darts in front of a car you do like
the human seatbelt thank you my
supervisor cookie
you did not have to get out of the car
oh he's a little bit naive if I had a
little bit more you know city miles on
myself is I like the same cookies like
that's like Kofi gets out of the car
i watch in the rear view mirror his the
man immediately starts puffing oh so now
other squads are pulling up and you know
it's ridiculous
I think for other squad cars to state
troopers so now we have six half cars
and on the side of the road and now
we're all trying to get me out of the
cars come out of the car so far talk to
you out here I can hear you fine you
know well you know your body's out of
the car you know we're going to take
them in if you know this this is
horrible and I know what this is going
for the last time you want to tell us is
there anything in the car and let dude
there's nothing in the car where can we
search it I would rather you did you
know we have a place that the PD like
this is this is turning ridiculous so of
course I get out of the car and you
start cutting me I've been in trouble a
few times in my life though Kofi hasn't
so as they're trying to maneuver me
around the car I'm like no I'm gonna
stand right in front of the camera where
the cameras I don't like I you know I
know I know things that these are all
like you know borderline like Pig noble
cops were mystery surprise
they've been cocaine one squad car they
finally get me in another squad car and
we watch is name this mantle our cars to
the point where they're putting rubber
gloves on and they're going through
jokes and proteins just filling it out
on the highway and everything and I'm in
a cop car by myself I start to get
nervous because there's now two k9
Conners so there's eight eight squad
cars right for us to fucking
pro-wrestlers I know it's a strange
world and I'm getting nervous now
because all it takes is one of these
cops to plant something ridiculous you
know and it sounds crazy but trust me it
does happen and I just figured that
fucker we have fun anything how do we
explain eight squad cars you know and
not finding anything you know we're
going to get in trouble and if I have to
do all this paperwork I'm gonna have a
bust so I'm sitting there thinking this
is this is gonna suck because I have to
like to fight eight cops in two German
Shepherds approximability they literally
come back around they're like we're
gonna ask you one more time
was there anything in the car and that's
when I just let me have it
but the other night they let me out of
the car I walked back in front of the
camera and if you thought the throne
wife Ellen Rob July Vegas was bad I let
these guys have it I and Cokie was just
like sorry let's just go
but it happens it happens to us a lot
like that's just one story it's
certainly not isolated it happens
frequently you know boy that's what we
got who I think is going to win John see
her big show I think John Cena's gonna
where we merge them to last - klaxon I'm
sorry I think the greatest man of all
times body well I also think there's
something to be said for for females and
now family is talking like managers I'm
talking sensational Sherri yeah I'll
I'll end it with this guys I had this
great idea this is one of my genius
brilliant ideas that I've never gotten
to do because they didn't get when I was
doing the Nexus thing I approached the
Bella Twins I was like ladies how would
you like to work with me and you know of
course they were like yeah you know and
I'll be behind the scenes they're like
oh god he's so gross my idea had was
instead of having you know one manager I
would have to maybe do a tease and we
dress them up you guys whatever the this
is gonna well you can't remember the
Robert Palmer
slit their hair back just like mine
right we're gonna kind of like fan their
faces and just have him do like right s
red lipstick and that was pretty much my
idea that was that again I can't tell
you any details of like what were you
gonna do her stuff like that just like
visually to me it was really stimulating
just like the I did a say yes you know
it was very Manson family s guy you know
Serena was obviously squeaking you know
text was gallows you know I I was
Charles Mann
you know I think there's something to be
said about you know what people who look
like they belong together together and
controlling maybe one hot ball in there
it's visually stimulating and I you know
I was I was pushing forward because they
weren't doing anything and I thought it
would be different and if that's one
thing
Raven taught me to do is to use very
talented people you know it surround
myself with and that's what I've always
done and I thought the fellas over or
awesome you know they they were eager
they wanted to learn and they're there
another act that we didn't know what to
do with it now they got away from us so
yeah I was I was going to use them and I
could just imagine all the evil things I
would ever want to do I've been hide
behind two hot chicks and ask I think I
gotta go guys
I'm not going to complain about my back
hurting and standing up and even though
I sort of just didn't see what I did
there
you guys I'm not going to say you
renewed anything for me you know so
there's still very much in the trenches
every day but this is just a lot of
clients it's cool too
this is it's like human Twitter you know
Twitter Twitter's good from that I can
take with you guys but it's better to
let anybody down over the past year I
apologize I'm still still working at a
lot of stuff the ex requires the title
but more importantly I'm working on
moving down I'm working on guys like
Ambrose and you know Ziggler yes there's
a lot of there's a lot of bull should I
do it I just know that everything I do
it's for the future of pro wrestlers for
the pan Thanks
