- 6:26All right, Jocko first off. Let's talk about, let's knock
- 6:30this out of the way right away. Let's get the basic questions
- 6:32about the softballs, the Jitters.
- 6:34It's get the nerves out. Let's go.
- 6:35Did you fall in love with professional wrestling?
- 6:39So it was fun. I was talking to my girl about
- 6:41this yesterday because, you know, I have two kids for those
- 6:45who don't know, my daughter loves it.
- 6:46My son doesn't, so my son, kind of reminds me of me when I was
- 6:49like really young. I didn't I couldn't care for
- 6:52wrestling for some reason. I just didn't I didn't, I didn't
- 6:55like it. I don't know why.
- 6:56I just didn't like it. It wasn't till like you know
- 6:59maybe he's gonna be like me later.
- 7:01Like when I hit 10 years old there was just something it was
- 7:04something different something. Collect.
- 7:06It was like seeing Undertaker and The Undertaker's.
- 7:07Very daunting, very captivating, very mysterious very like Erie.
- 7:11And it was like, it was like, I was so fucking cool.
- 7:13It's like this is do. What the what is?
- 7:15What's this hole? Just the entrance.
- 7:17He called me on his interest. I didn't see I didn't need to
- 7:19see a move. It was just as entrance that
- 7:21caught me. I was just like, this is, this
- 7:23is pretty, this is pretty cool. I like this.
- 7:26It took the hat off his eyes Road little at superpowers.
- 7:29I was like I like super heroes growing up.
- 7:31So I was like this is like super hero shit school and then you
- 7:34know, later on the card, you Like he seemed like the smaller
- 7:37guys, the High Flyers items, like Paul London, and Brian
- 7:39Kendrick, at the time, was a tag team.
- 7:41They're like, so like Flippy and I just, I never seen you like
- 7:46that. I was like, I didn't know people
- 7:47could move like that. You know, they know the human
- 7:50body could do this. It was so weird.
- 7:52It was so odd. It was just like something like
- 7:54that. Around that time I would say
- 7:56just a combination of like seeing something as captivating
- 7:59ear don't think is the only taker.
- 8:01That's something as crazy. And fast-paced and like
- 8:05superhero. OS cuz like high-flying Palm in
- 8:07the Brian Kendrick and Jeff Hardy's and shit like that.
- 8:10Yeah pro wrestling is a variety show, I think.
- 8:13Anthony Green side of the bus, it's essentially The Muppet
- 8:15Show. Rest, professional wrestling is
- 8:17the Muppet Show was comedy. There's drama, they're sad,
- 8:20there's excitement. There's a hatred, There's Scary,
- 8:23they're spooky. There's a confusion.
- 8:26There's if you don't, if you don't leave a wrestling show,
- 8:29physically exhausted mentally exhausted because your that show
- 8:33has taken you through the gamma of your emotions and Feelings.
- 8:36And if you don't go to a wrestling show and put yourself
- 8:38in a scenario that you feel those, those range of emotions
- 8:40and feelings you're doing it wrong.
- 8:43I know mentally after commentary, I'm shot I'm saying,
- 8:47done spent the next day, I just sit in a dark room because I
- 8:49can't. You just you put so much of
- 8:53those emotions into a match your last match at iwa man.
- 8:58I did. I was getting.
- 9:00I was emotional after you guys get I felt it.
- 9:03Like there was a moment and like I want to bring it up.
- 9:05Up that I loved the during the match where like it was just
- 9:09it's just something so simple. Like I was just chopping, the
- 9:11shutout, PJ chop them in the corner and then like little
- 9:14crook trap. Whatever is like kind of like
- 9:15jumped in the way whatever and the crowd starts chanting, Jack,
- 9:19Go, Jack. And then you you stop, you stop
- 9:22talking. He just stopped talking just
- 9:25like let it sink in it was like and I was like, that's what I
- 9:28can tell. So cool, so cool.
- 9:30Yeah that's that's, that's definitely something I had to
- 9:32learn and I try to tell other people on commentary is you
- 9:35don't have to talk the whole time.
- 9:37Yeah. Sometimes just let them match.
- 9:39And what's happening speak for itself?
- 9:41And I learned that at the sanctuary because the sanctuary,
- 9:43like, the cameras are going to pick up your speech.
- 9:46Is a cat. The cameras are right there on
- 9:48top of you. So if you're talking in the ring
- 9:50or your character, is someone who speaks a lot to their
- 9:53opponent, That's something you should hear.
- 9:55Now obviously, you don't want people here, call it anything
- 9:57and other things but like, yeah. Yeah.
- 10:00But you you also you should you should you should let those
- 10:04moments of the match breathing and if you're close enough to
- 10:07the ring, or if you're lucky enough to be in a sanctuary
- 10:10where sound travels, the way it does, yeah, pick up on those
- 10:13nuances and listen to what they're saying to each, other
- 10:16are good at reading lips. Like I don't like the measure
- 10:20me, PJ you knew it was gonna be loud.
- 10:22You knew those gonna be like a lot of like, banter between
- 10:24Tween us to, which there was like, if you listen to the
- 10:27message, like you would hear me. You were was talking so much
- 10:30shit. And like as the match was going
- 10:32on, like, from like the second, we walk through the current will
- 10:35just talking shit to each other. Like looking at each other
- 10:38across the ring. At one point, we start name
- 10:40dropping people with trained with that one point at one
- 10:42point, I started renting his arm out of this is for cowboy it was
- 10:45just like I was just like yeah so we if you listen to the
- 10:51podcast back please do with PJ Savage and Gee, this is kind of
- 10:55a little bit of a Trilogy of a podcast.
- 10:57If you will of the Journey of a stable and the journey of people
- 11:01who've come from the same school and, and our and are at a point
- 11:04now in their career, where you guys are all kind of two
- 11:10together but also doing your own things and trying to stand out
- 11:14amongst out of the stable and amongst yourselves which is
- 11:18really fascinating and fun to watch.
- 11:20So how much of that was a And how much of that was maybe the
- 11:27the legit rivalry of what's going on and kind of putting the
- 11:31two together and into a performance, pulling back the
- 11:34curtain a little bit here. You know.
- 11:35I mean but like kind of living was to work.
- 11:39It was weird because like I'm pretty sure I think PJ touched
- 11:44on it a little bit. Maybe John's bougie set up,
- 11:48something about it as well. Like Things were fine.
- 11:52So after the STP show, after the STP show things got weird, I
- 12:00could I don't know exactly what it was but there were tensions
- 12:02after the STP show, like there were Even even building up the
- 12:09last EP show there were tensions, you know, awesome,
- 12:11butting heads people arguing about certainty, PRS 80s, TV,
- 12:17STP, chainsaw promotions, the takeovers STP show.
- 12:21Ya, gotcha. So that was the lead up to that
- 12:26and then after that it was just like, things were weird.
- 12:30We tried we butt heads but we tried to like, ignore things
- 12:34were weird. And then that summer I took a
- 12:39mental break and I needed like just feel like and we'll get
- 12:43into that later but like that type of stuff I need a mental
- 12:46break, just needs to breathe. You know, I was still there but
- 12:50mentally I was gone and then I come back at the like a few
- 12:55weeks like just not talking to people and then like, came back.
- 12:59I was like, Hey, so this is going to happen.
- 13:02I was like, what do you mean this is gonna be?
- 13:03So yeah. Well, John's leaving the group.
- 13:05Poop. What the fuck's going on here?
- 13:10What do you mean John's leaving the group?
- 13:12I didn't believe it. You know.
- 13:13I just thought, yeah, whatever. You know?
- 13:15I said, I thought it was gonna blow her until like it was.
- 13:20It wasn't real till it happened. Yeah.
- 13:23Like when It was take over versus the Golems which was so
- 13:29fucking fun. Oh, I was so fun, so fun to do.
- 13:34When I pass buoys, the briefcase I'm holding Killian up and he
- 13:39goes, and he swings that briefcase and I don't know if
- 13:42you've noticed, like PJ, you've seen his Invictus, his former
- 13:45Invictus briefcase, yet just long heavy chain.
- 13:49He swings that briefcase and slow motion Killian moves.
- 13:52I just see the Chain Swing. I'm like, oh, this is gonna hurt
- 13:59change, smacks me, I clean on the eye.
- 14:03And that's lay there now. I was like, holy shit.
- 14:06This is It's really just happened.
- 14:09This this motherfucker really just hit me like this really
- 14:12happened. And then after the match he gets
- 14:17on the mic and I didn't know what he was gonna say.
- 14:20I figured he might say something that's what's gonna happen, I
- 14:22didn't know what and then like hearing him say all this stuff
- 14:26like I know his was like anger was I know who it was towards
- 14:31and what it was towards about but he took it out on like
- 14:38everyone and I still don't year. I was hurt that was so angry
- 14:43about it. I was just like Is I FF P.
- 14:48JF Jacko face is closing. Fuck.
- 14:50Did I do? Yeah, dick I just took a mental
- 14:53break. I was just trying to escape and
- 14:56you know I get it. Maybe I didn't put my part as
- 14:58much as I should have during the group.
- 14:59You know I'm saying? I probably should have put a
- 15:01little bit more work in certain aspects.
- 15:03I get that but I needed a yeah, I was just going through some
- 15:07stuff. I was that's Linda discussion
- 15:11but yeah it was just it was tough.
- 15:15It was tough to like Let it sink to watch it happen, you know?
- 15:21Yeah. Well I definitely see.
- 15:23I mean for bujji's aspect PJ is when you look at the group.
- 15:28He's top dog. And then PJ and and bujji is
- 15:32someone who's not going to take a second seat to a 22 that he
- 15:36wants to be top dog. Taking a face is essentially a
- 15:41very nice security blanket to have you tagging together for a
- 15:45very long time. That has been.
- 15:47That is Then your tag team partner, but but the I think the
- 15:51difference with a lot of like the Takeover or with bougie and
- 15:55face and the difference between that and the faceless ones is
- 15:58you and face, you didn't rely on face to be the muscle.
- 16:03You felt like you brought just as much to the tag team has
- 16:05faced it and I thought, you and face complement, each other very
- 16:09well. We're more now, bujji is faces.
- 16:12Like the pit bull for him, if that makes sense?
- 16:14And, and I hate that. I know I've said this before.
- 16:17But the day face finds out that are the day face one, Shiny
- 16:20Gold, are he gets a blood thirst for title belts.
- 16:25There's a lot of people who are fucked in this restaurant
- 16:29industry. He's the sides.
- 16:33F, all this. I want it now.
- 16:37Yeah, everyone screwed. Like, face is a monster for dude
- 16:41and faces like I can't, I don't know what goes that man said, I
- 16:45don't know, unless he's phases cool.
- 16:47Ricky prices. Faces, cool.
- 16:49Yeah, this is crazy, he's rivaling with bougie, so he's
- 16:52already, he's aware of what's Happening.
- 16:54Yeah, he knows, he knows why he's saying what he's saying
- 16:57that. Okay, cool.
- 17:01Yeah, you can't, you can't. I don't know.
- 17:05It's just phase. You can, you don't know, you
- 17:06don't know what faces thinking, but he's, he's one of the most
- 17:11talented dudes. Out there like I trained with
- 17:15them, I watched him from when he was to what he is.
- 17:19He is one of the most time to dudes and that's one thing with
- 17:22just this entire group, they're all very talented and I feel
- 17:25like no one in the group has really touched anyone near their
- 17:28Peak yet. No, not even close, you know?
- 17:30So it's just like, you haven't seen the best of PJ.
- 17:33You haven't seen the best of Fuji.
- 17:34I can damn sure I was in the best of me.
- 17:36I'm seeing the best of face watching that animal comes out
- 17:39of face and just aside from the animals.
- 17:42You think of just uh, Scary girl, like there's more to it.
- 17:45Yeah. He's he's a beast in the game
- 17:48gaming with Justin says, I gotta ask, man, what was it like going
- 17:50through had one face walked out and you because you guys been
- 17:52tension? Teaming, since Johnny Rodz and I
- 17:54want to know what was going through your head.
- 17:58All right, so What was that the day you were?
- 18:03There were you there that day? For February an update where you
- 18:08there that they know? I was not.
- 18:09I alright. That's alright.
- 18:14So, it was the Fatal 4-way tag match, when I sing this matter
- 18:17of paper. I was so annoyed by it because
- 18:20that's a lot of people. so everything happens me and face
- 18:25the last come out Champions, no last come out whatever and I
- 18:30didn't expect like, you know, I'm not leaving their fucking
- 18:33crazy and loud and there's like us, you know, I was going
- 18:37through a leading up to it too and just like Walk the current
- 18:43and he was just like amped for us and I do and you know, I do
- 18:48my little little skip thing that's around the time.
- 18:50We're kind of really started and I was just in my lap, run
- 18:54skipping around the ring and they were just going crazy.
- 18:57And I was just in my house as feeling it, I was feeling that
- 19:01day. I was like, on cloud nine, I was
- 19:03just feeling. I didn't do much that entire
- 19:05match. I think like a jumped off the
- 19:07top to the outside and I did like something small, I don't
- 19:10know. I feel like I didn't do anything
- 19:12that that match that I got tagged in.
- 19:17Took some clothes lines from a dude, named is a spalding.
- 19:22Gave me AB of you, buddy. Want to go tagging face?
- 19:24No, supposed to be this big man. Big man moment puts his hand
- 19:27out. I was ready.
- 19:29He just slapped me slides it out and that was, what was that?
- 19:33Was another thing was just weird.
- 19:34It was a weird feeling because like None of these, not least
- 19:39one of those places. I like, you can feel when the
- 19:42crowd feels. So it's like, it's so hard to
- 19:46explain. And this is why we tell people.
- 19:48If you're in the New Jersey area are, you can make the drive to
- 19:50their do. So because those tickets sell
- 19:53out fast for a reason because those fans are invested in the
- 19:57product and invested what happens there.
- 19:58And it is there's no energy like that building.
- 20:02So when he pulled his hand out, like you hear, I was hurt, but I
- 20:08was more hurt for everyone watching.
- 20:11It was something like I kind of seen coming, you know, like
- 20:14seeing it coming but they did it.
- 20:17So like you heard like their hearts say you heard the gasps
- 20:21you heard and he got quiet for a second.
- 20:24I was like, oh, this is weird and then I got hit and then I
- 20:30don't remember anything after that.
- 20:31But like it was a moment when he moved his hand, the crowd gasps
- 20:35of just like, that's it's really fucking happy and it's got
- 20:40really quite like and then, you know, lying or one or whatever.
- 20:44Then they started getting angry. Again, I was out as there's not
- 20:46lie. There we go.
- 20:47Go. Yeah, so when this when the band
- 20:52breaks up and and I obviously we've talked numerous times and
- 20:56it's been, it's been debated, highly debated amongst the team
- 20:59of who's ranked, where and who feels they fall into what place
- 21:04I feel with. And I don't mean disrespect when
- 21:07I say this, but I think when people look at the squad I think
- 21:10sometimes you fall down down the list a little bit and, and I but
- 21:14the thing is, is I any point in time I say that You you're
- 21:18always a guy who can fill in any of those shoes as well, but I
- 21:21always thought for a while there that the biggest hang-up that
- 21:25you had, you are your biggest opponent.
- 21:27It's not anyone in that group. It's not anyone in a locker
- 21:30room. It's not anyone else in your
- 21:32life. It's you you have you for
- 21:35watching you from the sanctuary and going from this like I
- 21:38didn't see your Johnny Rodz days.
- 21:39I didn't see the New York days. I just seen from you at
- 21:41Sanctuary to where I see you now on from when and all these other
- 21:45promotions when I watch her footage you are.
- 21:47Now, finding yourself, you are now your become.
- 21:50You're starting to believe that you are the greatest and showman
- 21:53when you say it, you believe it when you when it said, you feel
- 21:57it. So, when you have that match
- 22:01one-on-one with with, with PJ, and I feel like, I feel like
- 22:06something on locked in you that night, is that the moment where
- 22:11you start feeling like, I I belong here, I feel like I've
- 22:14claimed. I've made my steak, are you
- 22:16still searching? Going for that feeling.
- 22:18When when did that come for you or when when ours is something
- 22:22you're still searching for? So I've had bits and pieces of
- 22:30my career where like I felt like that felt like that early and
- 22:32Johnny's little here and there, you know, but like on the
- 22:37independent level like something like yeah.
- 22:38Sometimes like I guess I like feel it with the group but in
- 22:42terms of by myself, it was a little bit different places like
- 22:49The iwa show of were face turned on me, even though he turned on
- 22:52me, like, that shows, like, still got such an insane
- 22:56reaction. I was like, wow, these people,
- 22:59like, I really, we really made them care.
- 23:02These people really care. So, that was one.
- 23:05And then I was like, I think it's just everything after that.
- 23:08Like even though he turned on me, there was so much good just
- 23:12coming out of just like, because I was around the time I was
- 23:14like, pushing out singles Jaco and just in general, So just
- 23:21around that time. Like I did tighten I think maybe
- 23:24month after it was like a fatal 4-way and the last it was down
- 23:27to like me and rocket. And like you've seen rocket.
- 23:31Russell and rock. Russell's crowd, chants rocket.
- 23:35So, it was like a funeral for was me J.
- 23:37Carroll, Daniel, Alexander rocket.
- 23:39Daniel Alexander rocket. When they're in the ring.
- 23:41You chant for Dan Alexander Rocky?
- 23:43Yeah, they're there. It's hard.
- 23:45It is hard to stand out. When rocking and Dallas, Daniel,
- 23:48Alexander are in the ring. So what I think, if there's
- 23:50anyone that can do that, I think it was that tight.
- 23:54It was a tiny show and it was, it was elimination match.
- 23:56And this down, just me and rocket.
- 23:58And the crowd was split between me and rocket.
- 24:01And I think that was one of the more realizations.
- 24:05I was like, holy shit, I just like, split this crowd with
- 24:08fucking rocket. That's pretty fucking dope.
- 24:12That was like confidence boost. I was okay, but what now and
- 24:16then like less than a week later was the wind show.
- 24:20It was a scramble match. And I wasn't even supposed to be
- 24:24on that show. I think I want to I want to dive
- 24:27into that a little bit because I don't like that.
- 24:29Show face opens up. Yes you're not booked.
- 24:34PJ's Main Event you guys rolling together kind of pulling back
- 24:38the curtain, you're there. You're with each other, you're
- 24:41Rockin, you're supporting each other.
- 24:43Everyone's in the back, their peak of the curtains there,
- 24:45there cheering their boys on you weren't booked and then you were
- 24:50thrown in which is essentially You're in the promoters and
- 24:53everybody else you're thrown into the multi-man match.
- 24:56Hey, this is the spot where we get people kind of we say this
- 25:00is what we're going to pay attention and see if you can
- 25:02shine, but this is essentially the filler spot to get people in
- 25:05and just go out and do crazy shit.
- 25:07And let's see what happens and you're in there with once again,
- 25:10very talented people, people who are show, Stealers people who
- 25:15can do, all of those things to stand out and you stood out.
- 25:19Like, and also, I believe you stood out is because Cuz of the
- 25:23work you guys did as a stable as takeover, like people are
- 25:26invested in this group. And this group is going through,
- 25:29and I think people are starting to see this solo side of Jocko
- 25:33emerge. You have a great look.
- 25:35If a great entering, you have a great confidence and I know you
- 25:38don't you your start was slowly starting to find it yourself,
- 25:40but you are winning over crowds. Thank you.
- 25:44So I'll touch on the when they originally that match was not
- 25:52going to. Who?
- 25:53Because I think they've said the think this person has come
- 25:56forward to say, he was supposed to be in that much, but then I'm
- 26:00supposed to me. I feel, I think he said it.
- 26:03Yeah, whatever. Yeah.
- 26:05He said he was supposed to be in this match and then he declined
- 26:08for his reasons and then they decided.
- 26:10Hey, but Jaco and then match crap comes out to me and the
- 26:13six-way. I was there.
- 26:14I knew I was gonna wrestle and I was supposed did.
- 26:17I was just somebody like saying, give it a coat and then like Not
- 26:22to toot my own horn but I got one hell of a reaction.
- 26:25Sure did. And I was like, throughout the
- 26:27whole match and it was like, it was really shocking.
- 26:31I think that was another. Another thing that was like,
- 26:34that reaction like that really, like, did it for me, too.
- 26:37I was like, holy shit. I'm really, this is really
- 26:40fucking moving right now. This is like this is working a
- 26:44lot more this working a lot, but I thought it wouldn't a lot
- 26:48faster than I thought it would and it was just like from their
- 26:51star. Raspy moaning then became the PJ
- 26:54masks. But also I know people just like
- 26:56think like the scramble match the like six minutes.
- 26:58Like the film that I fucking love those matches.
- 27:01I think talent-wise. I don't love it, but I think
- 27:04promoters of the promoters don't put as much stock into those
- 27:07matches. They probably should let them.
- 27:09I don't give a fuck. Well, people don't put people's
- 27:12mindsets that they I don't know how long I'm not saying that
- 27:19when did that. I'm just saying no no no Jordan
- 27:23when they put together a scramble scramble is we have six
- 27:26people in a card or maybe a match fell apart.
- 27:28So we're going to throw people in this family.
- 27:31When did care about individuals within the scramble.
- 27:33They they cared about individuals in this country
- 27:36percent. Get about scrambles, that's
- 27:37number. Was there to this in the
- 27:40scramble? They did it was never get his
- 27:43own people on the show, then do something forward with him.
- 27:46Storyline wind because wind is Carolina, whatever.
- 27:49Yes. But that scramble you you stood
- 27:52out when you didn't technically have a seat at the table.
- 27:56Yes. And now you now they pulled up a
- 27:58chair for you. Yes, that's exactly what it is.
- 28:00And like I said, like, that's I love that.
- 28:03Like I loved, I loved it because it was like there wasn't an
- 28:09expectation like, because they didn't like I wasn't supposed to
- 28:12be in in the fact that like, I just knocked the damn ball at
- 28:15the park. So, well, Was hell, yeah.
- 28:16Let's let's keep this ball rolling.
- 28:18And then the next stop was one of the next stops next up.
- 28:21And remember that I remember, was me versus PJ.
- 28:25Yeah. The the the momentum you're
- 28:28getting is amazing. Did you ever think to yourself
- 28:30that you would get a such positive Babyface reaction when
- 28:34you've played that bad guy roller so long, such an asshole.
- 28:38So like, I'm sorry, I thought I don't think it'll work because I
- 28:43was just like, I'm such an asshole.
- 28:44Yeah, I'm saying, like, I'm such an asshole was like a damn good
- 28:47at being an asshole and the special moves that Sanctuary
- 28:52like we made kids cry. Yeah.
- 28:55We literally, like I would kneel or sit down on the ramp and just
- 29:00like talk and the kids was start crying.
- 29:06Like that's not super baby face material.
- 29:09I didn't think I was gonna work. I don't think.
- 29:11I have like a very high-pitched people's people stay at a very
- 29:14high pitch annoying voice. So, like I worked with this.
- 29:17I made it louder, you know? So it's like I just expect to
- 29:22get booed every time I open my mouth but just like lately as it
- 29:25fucking happened. So I don't do.
- 29:28I always had like when as soon as you start doing I was like
- 29:31dude you could be this like Jocko could be a monster baby
- 29:33face if used properly you have a good look.
- 29:36Like I said, everything is there for you can but I think like out
- 29:39of the whole stable, like, TJ can be the badass where he can
- 29:43play a tweener face can be the badass tweener but when it comes
- 29:46down to like the Charisma and what's their like you you have
- 29:49the most potential to play the extreme of either side or play
- 29:54the middle. You know what I mean?
- 29:55Like you have that ability to do so thank you.
- 30:01So let's kind of rewind know, I know it was kind of talked about
- 30:04a few times on the podcast, what kind of dive into it real quick
- 30:07but training wise. When did you become from a Fen
- 30:11to During your school and then why did you pick the school that
- 30:14you went to? So remember fucking ear that I
- 30:21seen the show but um Johnny Johnny does like School shows
- 30:27like monthly or so well used to and when I was like, that's
- 30:33probably 2010-2011 something like that.
- 30:37Like my uncle's friend Russell there.
- 30:41Time. So they would just selling
- 30:42tickets. Yeah, come to my show.
- 30:44Let's try some stickers so that, you know, they brought me along
- 30:47because I know like wrestling and like it was big, big cash.
- 30:52Was there at the time, it was funny, dude.
- 30:55I I have Enzo and Cass pops and I got Enzo to sign it but the
- 31:01day. So unfortunately that's when
- 31:04Cass had the passed out and he fainted and had to get rough.
- 31:09And then and then a couple weeks after that is When his demons
- 31:12got the best move again, and then he had that back room
- 31:15locker room situation, then the few weeks later, it was supposed
- 31:18to be them to out a show in Pennsylvania, and then that's
- 31:21when he casts went to GDP. And then he started living there
- 31:25for a while and getting a stuff together.
- 31:27And then I met them again at another show.
- 31:29But at the time I did forgot. I own this because I had it
- 31:31packed away. So I didn't bring it.
- 31:33But I did get the chance to sit down and talk to him and what,
- 31:37what a fucking sweetheart. Yeah, I'm a banging.
- 31:39Yeah, I hate the name. Big Bill.
- 31:41I hate it so much. I pulled him aside and I was
- 31:50like dude, like I'm so happy that you figured your life out
- 31:54because I think you your sky's the limit for you, you look
- 31:57fucking amazing. You look better now than you
- 31:59ever did in your entire career. Like and then I kind of told
- 32:02him, I'm like, I'm, I've became close with your stomping
- 32:08grounds. Like I've learned a lot of where
- 32:10you've come from and who you are as A person because of, where
- 32:12you trained, a Gleason's and Johnny Rodz and cowboy and stuff
- 32:15like that. And he's like all of that.
- 32:17That means a lot, you know what I mean?
- 32:18Like so I'm I will always be willing and more safer.
- 32:26Think it was right before. I don't remember they feels like
- 32:32right before everything happened or like right after that, they
- 32:39DP thing. But he came through too.
- 32:41Honey's one time, he just spoke he just came and spoke to us for
- 32:44like a good like two hours. And.
- 32:46Yeah, and now he's just super. Super sweet, dude.
- 32:49Super nice, dude. Very knowledgeable and the dude
- 32:53moves. He a big do, but he moves.
- 32:56He's like better. Now that I've ever seen him,
- 32:58like if you sleep he was he was opposed to my Rampage.
- 33:02It was like a triple threat thing, but like him and swerve.
- 33:05And I remember the third person, but he was just moving that
- 33:09whole match, like he was just like, Going and I was like,
- 33:13goddamn yeah but no one did. What him and ends up dead and
- 33:18that would be as soon as like bro, don't like what they did
- 33:22and what they would pull off on the mic and the crowd in the
- 33:25merchandize. And everything they did is was
- 33:27so was it an anomaly and people hate on it like, oh, it wasn't
- 33:31that like, Fu when it was there. You were a fan, shut the hell
- 33:34up. It was good, it was, it was
- 33:36entertaining as fuck. Like most over like I own so
- 33:40much End Zone cash. A smart, you would.
- 33:42And I, you know, I mean and this was before I knew where he came
- 33:45from and everything like that, it's, he's fantastic.
- 33:48Yeah, but um, so yeah, seen him and him obviously accompanied by
- 33:54Cowboy Billy Walker, fellas, don't know.
- 33:57And we'll get more into Cowboy as we move onto one actually
- 34:00started training, but I've seen those two and it was just like,
- 34:05That was the first time I seen rustling independently live.
- 34:10Now, this kind of cool. Now looked it up after I was
- 34:12like oh this is a school. I'm gonna go here when I turn
- 34:1518, like that's all it was. I went to the show and I was
- 34:18like, oh this is the school cool.
- 34:19I don't have to look anymore already found its in New York,
- 34:22perfect. That's all.
- 34:23It was. What was this?
- 34:24One's from where you lived in to this club?
- 34:27I'm in the Bronx. That's Brooklyn but it's like
- 34:29very like early Brooklyn's, like the very beginning of broken
- 34:33almost close to my hat's lyric the first stop.
- 34:35Oh yeah, like it's 40, 50 minute train ride.
- 34:41Not too bad but I can try still. I have not wrap my head around
- 34:44trains and public transportation because there, I lived.
- 34:47There is none like I love it apart.
- 34:50Are you getting nowhere? I love it.
- 34:52I know the trains, like the back of my hand, I don't need the
- 34:54maps at this point. It's super easy for me.
- 34:56I've been doing this my entire life.
- 34:59I'd be calling. You know, I've actually never
- 35:01been to New York City. You haven't been to New York
- 35:04City really, never I've never been to New York City.
- 35:07I want to go so bad to house to Glory show.
- 35:12That's definitely on my bucket list.
- 35:14I would like to see a Gleason Show.
- 35:15Like I like, I like one of them now that hearing about I would
- 35:18like to go see the school and just kind of soak in where you
- 35:21guys came from because like rolling with you guys, as long
- 35:23as I have been and hearing the stories and Cat and cowboy
- 35:27Billy. Walker's, I told him the other
- 35:29day. I said, next time you go up man
- 35:30like can I please ride up with you just to kind of soak in that
- 35:34environment is like Hundred percent.
- 35:36Like yeah. But I also want to experience
- 35:38and I always forgot. I always fuck up the name of
- 35:40this school but I met as helping train there now battle.
- 35:44What's that Fallout Club? Big fan of what they're doing
- 35:48there too. Yeah they're yeah, they're
- 35:51killing over there, I'm a meds. Doing his thing, you could talk
- 35:56to you and we'll talk more with admit this Thursday, on the
- 35:59podcast on meds first, inner podcast interview.
- 36:04I started my For my first day of training, was I meant birthday
- 36:09funny enough, really my first day of training was almonds
- 36:13birthday. So I always tell who is all part
- 36:15of your like, how many, how much of the takeovers part of your
- 36:18early days of training or how, where, where was everybody
- 36:20liked? Whistlers was PJ and all those
- 36:22guys still there. Where were you before them?
- 36:25No, not they were all. We were all there around the
- 36:27same time. So the person started first kind
- 36:30of was face face started the young, but Face wasn't there as
- 36:36often as we were back then, because he was younger, so he
- 36:42started, but he wasn't really there.
- 36:45That knows, PJ, PJ started. Par like seven, eight months,
- 36:49maybe a year before us, I think. And abs was there before, all
- 36:54his abs was there before, all of us, he told me that in his
- 36:57effort episode is all the people I was there.
- 36:59First ABS, was there before, all of us.
- 37:02I love you have so much. Honcho bucks, inner mat Banks,
- 37:10whatever you want to call them, just finished up rustling.
- 37:16She's killing it right now, he's just killing running Russell.
- 37:18The New Japan Dojo Showcase with the daring young Fred.
- 37:24Hmm, roster grocer across that fried Rock sink, its roster
- 37:28Rosser. Hell yeah, I could be wrong.
- 37:30Don't call me. He was, he was a little bit
- 37:33after PJ. Then Ahmed was a month before me
- 37:37then myself and then bougie came like a month after course he was
- 37:42the last one. Yeah, my booty came a month
- 37:45after month or two after me. Yeah, yeah.
- 37:51I think that was it. Yeah.
- 37:52That should be the yeah, I think that's the, that's the, what is,
- 37:55what is the environment or what was your experience of being
- 37:57trained and Gleason's gym by the people who have been there and
- 38:01were you ever a cowboy kid? I just learned about that last
- 38:03podcast. So there was the this three
- 38:11Gleason's does. The first one super old-school
- 38:14Gleason's Cowboys? And then there's a second one
- 38:18which, where I started. I was the one that we're cash
- 38:22was in and then there's the third one, the one that
- 38:26currently at don't all within the same area, but they're just
- 38:28like, move to build things over time.
- 38:30Yeah. Um, I was the last person of the
- 38:35second one. I was like the last person to
- 38:37come in of the second one, we literally had to move all the
- 38:40beams and boards and all of that shit.
- 38:43It's not a regular Rings like a custom ring or whatever I had to
- 38:47move polishing, right? It's not necessarily boxing
- 38:50ring. It's just like a custom ring.
- 38:52I don't know. It's like it's just weird.
- 38:54It's like at one point it was a boxing ring.
- 38:57Yeah. Like apparently like, how about
- 38:59the cowboy has original ring? Like the in that ring.
- 39:03Apparently that Rings like dangerous severing scary.
- 39:06Everything's treacherous. He wants, I just, I just feel
- 39:09like they would purposely get the most uncomfortable ring to
- 39:12bump on just mean. Like, I feel like it's that type
- 39:14of school like he always says like, yeah, you know, come down,
- 39:18he could train, you could trade, I still have the old, You Tasha,
- 39:21how can we train? Stakes are very pleased.
- 39:29Yeah, we did the move, whatever. But the reason I mentioned that
- 39:33was, because the Gleason's I have started and Johnny's office
- 39:39was a little further from the ring, so he couldn't really see
- 39:41as as much, so he's to beat the shit out of me.
- 39:45Prince, Ahmed, they used to beat that breaks.
- 39:48I like very old school, like, all right, just gonna take, he's
- 39:51going to say, he's gonna take all these clothes lines for
- 39:54about an hour or just going to keep bumping about an hour or
- 39:58so. Going to have to shoot kick out
- 40:00of everyone's pins for like 30 minutes or just gonna like take
- 40:04everyone's moves, which gonna get your ass kicked for the
- 40:07next, two hours, three hours. And like I said, I was the last
- 40:10person from that, Jim me and I met with the last two, but I was
- 40:14the last one. So we really got it for a while.
- 40:18Till the new person came out a new person being done.
- 40:20And then we beat assess. Yeah.
- 40:23I feel like, I don't know how how it still works today but
- 40:27like I was listening to a few different Views and people's
- 40:29experiences schools and sure. Wrestling school is never easy
- 40:32there no matter where you go. But I feel like that type of
- 40:35environment is very old-school and very, like, get get tough or
- 40:39get out type. It is it like I can't speak
- 40:42freely because I haven't been to another school so I don't know
- 40:45that environment and I don't know if like if my stiff.
- 40:48What I went through was normal, feels hard feels old-school.
- 40:53I don't know. I just know how I was trained.
- 40:56I loved it. I loved it.
- 40:57Like taking the The clothesline for an hour getting my ass
- 41:01handed to me. I like I felt like I was earning
- 41:04something. I loved it person.
- 41:05Everyone has a different experience.
- 41:07I know some people don't like it that way and understand for
- 41:10certain health reasons, you know, the protocols Etc.
- 41:13You know, I get that but I personally loved it.
- 41:17I loved that. Like, stretch, you old, very
- 41:19cowboy, cowboy hat. His weekends, weekends were for
- 41:23cowboy and cowboy would get in the ring.
- 41:28Everyone is beyond the apron and have to tag cabin.
- 41:31Would stay in the cabin, would stay in the ring for literally,
- 41:34three, four hours like non stop moving.
- 41:37No water. He would just stay in the Ring.
- 41:39Finish her. Somebody.
- 41:40Alright, tag out, you come in and he was just Like as hard as
- 41:47he can, you know, take his hand and you grab your, your rib.
- 41:51And they were just like, squeeze it and move it, and make you
- 41:54feel things. You didn't know we're there.
- 41:56Like he was a cowboy popcorn. Has that Hawthorne has that
- 42:01glow? He got from Cowboy.
- 42:02Yeah, yeah. Cowboy hats Cowboy.
- 42:05That's Cowboy special. He'll drop his knee like right
- 42:08here and you stir them and grab them by the back, your head.
- 42:10Kind of like bring you in. Yeah, man.
- 42:14He he's a piece of shit out of us.
- 42:16How long did he ever seen what the London were?
- 42:23Well, first time I ever seen a guy who wore a mask at Sanctuary
- 42:25work, I was very insanely impressed of how good and well
- 42:32he moves and he is not afraid to take a bump do no good bum from
- 42:35member from the apron to the floor.
- 42:39Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
- 42:44Non padded side crazy and the hilt.
- 42:48But he will just go Lori for hours upon hours, like insane.
- 42:55But like he didn't all of his heart.
- 42:57Like, You hear him speak as Cowboys, Billy Walker.
- 43:02He is very scary, very mean, very but like, you know, you
- 43:06break that wall down. He is like, he's literally the
- 43:08sweet as fucking when you want. When you earn his respect?
- 43:11Yes, it's not respect. He's literally the sweetest
- 43:15fucking human being. He's amazing person.
- 43:19I never took a bump, and I'll never take a bump, and I'll
- 43:21never run rope, so I'll never do any of that.
- 43:23But I always said I was joking around.
- 43:24I said, I wanted, I want to be a cowboy.
- 43:27I want to be part of the Cowboys.
- 43:28Prove it just a commentator. I want to be a cowboy
- 43:30commentator, he's great. Yeah, I yeah, it's one of those
- 43:36things man. I really my first season the
- 43:39sanctuary was was, was you guys and the Takeover?
- 43:43And I attach myself very much so to that stable, and to the, the
- 43:47Billy Walker Walker Clan and it made me learn how to call
- 43:52character work. And alert made me, learn how to
- 43:54call he'll work and stuff like that.
- 43:56And, and I tribute On of every tribe you all the what I do for
- 44:01the most part to the sanctuary at that season, just had so many
- 44:04reps. We were there almost every
- 44:06weekend and if we went there on a Saturday, we weren't on a
- 44:08Sunday where they're in a Friday.
- 44:09I got I got more reps in a year and half a year at Sanctuary
- 44:13than most people do their entire career at commentary and and you
- 44:18guys were a huge part of that and the even like the sanctuary
- 44:20verse Walker, Clan stable will always be very fond moment for
- 44:26me as a commentator because I swear I got a lot of it from Um,
- 44:28and then and then I learned more of the professional wrestling
- 44:31side of things from, like the PWS and the outbreak wrestling
- 44:34is. But but that that year in
- 44:36sanctuary man was special, and I always will thank all of you for
- 44:40that because if I didn't have the talent in the ring, that
- 44:42helped me learn. And like, I wasn't getting
- 44:45notes, I wasn't getting. It was just me and Pete, just
- 44:47figuring shit out, and it was just, it was awesome.
- 44:50It was awesome experience. Now you were talking earlier
- 44:53about, we are getting close to the 45-minute Mark.
- 44:55I don't want to keep you too long and we all want to get some
- 44:57questions for people. You were talking a little bit
- 44:59about something when it comes to mental health issues and
- 45:03stepping away for a while, what are what are some things that
- 45:08are our problems for? You are some things that you
- 45:11struggle with our mental blocks that maybe, stunt you from
- 45:15performing are finding yourself, are making you have to step away
- 45:19because I honestly, I wish I had the curd, I stepped away for a
- 45:22week upon casting because everything I'm going through
- 45:25right now and the entire time, I step away and I always talk
- 45:28shit. Like, I'm going to quit.
- 45:29I'm fucking sick of this. It ain't worth it.
- 45:31I'm losing. I'm literally losing everything
- 45:33outside of this and it's so fucking hard and I just, I just
- 45:38can't stop, you know, I mean it's tough.
- 45:42So like break down a little bit like they're going to having to
- 45:50like one of my things it's I'm my worst enemy you know?
- 45:57Like I have confidence when I speak, when I'm talking in a
- 46:02promo, I believe every word I say, when the cameras off,
- 46:07there's no current in there like My confidence is really, you
- 46:12know, and it's just like it's not a won't always be a
- 46:17situation. It won't always be.
- 46:18Something's happening, it's just like how my mindset is.
- 46:23Sometimes my mindset is literally just like, hey, you're
- 46:27fucking depressed. No, that's it.
- 46:29And then you just, you just soaking in it and it's not a
- 46:32specific person or individual or situation or it's just How it
- 46:39is. It's just sometimes there
- 46:41doesn't need to be any of those things.
- 46:43It's just sometimes, it's just attacked and, like, depression,
- 46:47anxiety, mental health, it's all like real.
- 46:49It's a real thing. It's not something you should
- 46:51ever be shown. It's a real fucking topics real
- 46:55situation because, you know, while you see them one day, like
- 46:59watching them, you have, so they're fine.
- 47:01It only takes an hour for someone to just, like, go in the
- 47:04deep end. That's it, like it or less, you
- 47:06know, or make a Life-changing decision.
- 47:10Yes, a life-changing says yes. Like it only takes such amount
- 47:14of time and like, I've thankful enough to I like I have support
- 47:18systems with like my, my Signet, my significant other have my
- 47:23kids, and I have AB, certain people around me.
- 47:25I'm thankful enough for that, and I know, but I know not
- 47:27everyone has that, you know? And like it's yeah it's one of
- 47:34those things was just like it's tough to like really deep dive
- 47:37heavily into it because His experience is different, I could
- 47:40only speak on my experience and my experience.
- 47:42It's Like when I did the promo, which was filmed and, and
- 47:48directed produced by the amazing Kevin Woods, whose fantastic me
- 47:53saying, I can't trust the can trust, like, people are such a
- 47:55great promo. I was just venting.
- 47:58I was just I was just speaking. I was just letting shit out
- 48:01because like that's really how I feel sometimes.
- 48:04And like I said, it's not a specific person or people it's
- 48:07just My mental health, my mental being and and you know we spoke
- 48:14about this before we went live and we brought it we spoke about
- 48:19life a little bit and you know I acted like this is the
- 48:24situation. This the topic we could speak on
- 48:26before because it's very important to speak on especially
- 48:30in wrestling. I feel like we just kind of like
- 48:33there's a lot of wrestlers that feel this.
- 48:36That just like internalize it and don't speak about it because
- 48:41we feel like we shouldn't like wrestling is so pushed back on
- 48:46like a lot of things like we can open up about this week, can't
- 48:49talk about with it so it's okay. It doesn't make us any less of a
- 48:53man doesn't make us any less of a worker of a wrestler.
- 48:56Doesn't make us any less of a person to feel like this.
- 48:59I'd rather someone spent the body and talk about it, then
- 49:02make a decision that changes things.
- 49:06I'm saying there are people that care, you know, and like and
- 49:10what was listening? I hate New York.
- 49:12So fucking loud. Well fucking necessary.
- 49:17Anyway, exhausting the car? Yeah.
- 49:19Yeah. I bet you that dude's dick is
- 49:21huge, but they have some pussy for the rest of us.
- 49:27Mad guy. It's whoever's listening.
- 49:30Like, if you ever want you ever like going through anything,
- 49:33like my dams, always open. I got I give my phone number, if
- 49:37you ever need it. Like, I'm very open about give
- 49:38him my phone number to. Whoever needs it.
- 49:40Like honestly, I honest to God, from the bottom of my heart.
- 49:43I truly fucking mean that like, I never knew somebody Go through
- 49:46something like death, without any help, it's hard, man.
- 49:50Because like, in this industry to it's, it's, it's a situation
- 49:56where I didn't happen to me, where I opened up to somebody
- 50:00who I thought was a friend, and somebody who I was really cool
- 50:02with and I explained to them some of my struggles and mental
- 50:06blocks and where I stand with some of the things I go through.
- 50:10And, and it was used against me, it was, it was then like
- 50:14weaponized against me and And sometimes to you, you try to
- 50:18open up and try to go through that, or you tell certain
- 50:21wrestling promotions are people who book or anything like that,
- 50:23that you need a break and they write you off, and it's hard to.
- 50:27It is hard sometimes to open up and put that out there because
- 50:31it can be used against you in this industry because it is an
- 50:35industry of to stuff, you know what I mean?
- 50:37And it's it's not it's not fucking easy.
- 50:40But yeah. Also two men.
- 50:42Those what he were he was saying but his dmsr open, man.
- 50:46My Discord Community. I, so, essentially where I'm at
- 50:49right now, my support system was one person and that's not a
- 50:53thing anymore. You know, huge reason why I'm in
- 50:56a new location, but my Discord Community man has been fucking
- 51:00amazing. So if anyone uses Discord do
- 51:03the, a BJ podcast, Discord is more than just a place where we
- 51:07talked wrestling and movies and stuff.
- 51:08Like, there's people in that voice chat all day long, and
- 51:12they are the coolest people ever and you can talk to them, you
- 51:14can go in there, open up its you can you can You can be in voice
- 51:17chat, all of it are Discord is open to anybody and that's not
- 51:21just a plug for you to come hang out and be in there.
- 51:23It's they have saved my life many of times.
- 51:28Yeah, that's beautiful. Yeah.
- 51:31But no it's struggling. And the craziest thing too is
- 51:34when you have those moments of people that when you go to a
- 51:38show and you break that barrier between fan and friend, you know
- 51:43what I mean? Like we're some was on the other
- 51:44side of the guardrail and they just connect with you.
- 51:46And then they become more than just a person who supports you
- 51:49at his wrestling show. They become family.
- 51:51They become like, you get to his like that's where like, places
- 51:54like I wa + r/n wrestling. Really shines through is when
- 51:58it's almost like a family reunions when you go to a show
- 52:00it's like oh shit, there's my people.
- 52:01You know what I mean? Like like so a lot of the places
- 52:05I've gone through. I feel that's like, when I feel
- 52:06this Titan, I feel this, I wa I feel this heavily Invictus as
- 52:10well, but especially at the last iwa show that PJ masks.
- 52:13I got like, I wrote clothes for like a lot of The fans there.
- 52:17I'm like, yeah, it's called them fans.
- 52:19I feel like fans, like people down on the term fan.
- 52:22Now it's so stupid. Yeah, I its supporters.
- 52:26Yes, I supporters. Yeah.
- 52:27Like, I've got really close to a lot of people there.
- 52:30Like Richard, who was, sponsoring me, surprisingly team
- 52:33Supreme and expect that for the next out of your show, June
- 52:3624th, no commentary. Always needs to some sponsors to
- 52:40just put it out there. A mini golf place sponsored me
- 52:56and Pete like a dinosaur mini golf place in New Jersey, bro.
- 53:00Every match were like, you know, would be great right now.
- 53:02Peace, let's go get some ice cream at the mini golf if you
- 53:06want, if you want, if you want, shouted out for every match,
- 53:10that that's what you sponsor. That's what's up, that's right
- 53:14there. You know what ruins my My mental
- 53:17health fucking run rustling pages and wrestling Facebook.
- 53:21And Twitter is when people say they can't stand.
- 53:23When commentary tries to be funny, are they tried to get
- 53:27themselves over? You know, my answer to that is
- 53:30there's two answers. If commentary is fucking off
- 53:33during your match. It's probably because your
- 53:37majesty sucking and we need something to entertain
- 53:40ourselves. I've never once fucked off
- 53:42during a match that was good. Just saying, Truth Hurts
- 53:48commentary when you go to listen to your footage and they're
- 53:51being funny. Also, where did you ever tell
- 53:55Jr? And the king and Tony Shivani
- 53:57and all these other people that they shouldn't get themselves
- 53:59over or make themselves a brand on commentary.
- 54:02Yeah you can stop your gr now on commentary like the dark away
- 54:11from my family and my friends and my I deserve just as much.
- 54:18Yes. Then as you do in the ring and
- 54:20sure it is a one-two punch where we should be putting you over
- 54:23and vice versa, but don't tell commentary that they shouldn't
- 54:26get themselves over and they should just be a normal voice in
- 54:28the crowd. That's what he's doing.
- 54:30If you, if you, if you notice like every single time I'm out
- 54:32there, I always go. And like even Babyface our he
- 54:35like still go talks like last one can match.
- 54:38I was talking shit with you. I was like saying Blackwell is a
- 54:42crazy stamps on let's go. They said the greatest showman
- 54:45and I said Use me. It is the greatest damn that
- 54:47show Answer. Yeah, but that's what I heard.
- 54:50I charge. You say, excuse me, the greatest
- 54:51dancer on excited again. Yeah.
- 54:53Like mid-match. Like literally in the middle of
- 54:56like I just died I just gonna swans on to the outside and like
- 54:59I, that's all I heard and I personally, I feed off that if
- 55:03someone yell something from could the ring to kind of like
- 55:06what baby and put Michael Cole had that banter during the
- 55:08pandemic. I fucking, I thrive off that
- 55:11like and it happen, dude, the Ricky stuff, man.
- 55:14People fucking her. Like, how do we can we do?
- 55:16Something like that. Another promotion.
- 55:17It's like that's fun. Like, I'm never gonna get in the
- 55:19ring. There's no payoff of you beating
- 55:21me up but like wolf, we'll have fun with it.
- 55:23Yeah. But it's just, yeah, I just
- 55:26can't stand when they say like you're a commentary person just
- 55:29fall in line and be generic and stupid and just say what?
- 55:32Just don't just just be play-by-play or like, fuck you
- 55:36don't fuck me then. Don't put me.
- 55:37How many people in roughly? They're gonna have their
- 55:39opinions on. What's right, what is it?
- 55:41That's the thing about wrestling.
- 55:43There's nothing that's right because there Is certainly a
- 55:50monsoon? All they did was make fun of
- 55:52people. The Great Moments I don't know
- 56:00affiliate. So that's my soapbox sponsor the
- 56:04commentators. But yeah.
- 56:06But like but people like like like a team Supreme and like,
- 56:09Cassidy Kelly Justin, I like those other guys.
- 56:13Those are people that like, you know, become like family in a
- 56:17way, you know, like really like what from just like a supporter
- 56:20that became listen your MTV and others are VH1.
