4:53
The if I can get this In your logo and other places.
4:56
I already have my buddy who supports in Australia, is bias
5:00
logo. So there's going to be a 570 PA

5:06
coolest thing that ever happened to me as a content creator.

the chatter ready, Hunter Dylan, hanging out, Gears of chi.
5:15
There are the two guys that hang out in my, my Discord all time,
5:18
both moderators of my Discord had my channel.
5:21
Super super cool guys, but let's get into this podcast.
5:24
Without further Ado, what is On my guy I'm doing, I'm doing I'm
5:28
a little sore, you know, work some shows.
5:31
So what I'm doing good, I'm doing good.
5:34
How are you doing? I'm hanging in there.
5:36
It's been a, it's been a rough month.
5:38
I'm not gonna lie, you know, mental health, sometimes takes a
5:41
little roller coaster rides and past couple months have been
5:44
some downs. But, you know, going to
5:46
wrestling shows and doing a lot of cool events.
5:48
Definitely pulls me out of a lot and we just recently had a cool
5:51
little moment. What I hope happens more often
5:53
is we all kind of Together outside of the world of
5:57
professional wrestling and all went to a bar and seen a band
5:59
together. It was all, it was all the pay
6:03
tribute to This awesome picture. Okay, that I got from this man's
6:08
son. Yeah, we were paying trigger
6:11
paying homage to. What was the Gavin's Dad?
6:15
Yeah, we're showing support back here.
6:17
If they always come to every wrestling show and show love to
6:19
us. So we want to pay it back and go
6:21
to go, see his band and show some support.
6:24
And I had an absolute blast hanging out.
6:26
Everybody. Having some drinks dancing in
6:28
our chairs, playing musical chairs because we didn't have
6:31
enough chairs for all of us because we rolled in super deep
6:33
and killed. Everyone came and super late.
6:34
So Time someone got up, they got the receipt stolen, it is fun.
6:38
So some of us got a little too Tipsy and seen a couple of those
6:43
but it made it. Do you, you know, you know, I'm
6:44
also was drunk as he was dancing.
6:46
I know. I've never seen that big man,
6:48
dance. I just never said what he had
6:50
Lasik going girls? Yeah.
7:13
It's a great time and it's a lot of fun.
7:16
But yeah, so former backbreakers trainee and now that's that has
7:23
been now converted over to High Ground.
7:25
So the talk me through how did you how did you find this
7:27
wrestling school and and and get into this crazy industry of the
7:31
professional wrestling world. So I started Did not want to be
7:35
a wrestler. I didn't want.
7:37
I did not want any part of being in that ring at all.
7:41
I actually started with Blues GSW.
7:47
Okay. I went I went one day with Aaron
7:50
Roxas and I talked to Brad and I still remember this.
7:55
I sat down I go. Hey, can I be a security guard
7:58
for the show? Because me being the smart
8:00
thinker that I was back in the day.
8:02
I just wanted to watch the show for free and I've already done.
8:05
So, Security. So I was like, hey can I just be
8:07
a security guard for the night and he goes, yeah, but we're not
8:12
going to pay you and I go, no, you don't have to pay me.
8:15
I mean, I'm lost. Well, yeah, I did I did and it
8:26
was, it was awesome. And then I moved back to Florida
8:30
for a year on my own and I was staying out there and at that
8:34
time rock. To start it actually wrestling.
8:37
And so I was like, man, he's actually he's actually doing
8:41
something now and I'm like, I should have took my opportunity
8:44
but I always stayed in contact with Justin glory.
8:47
And he has the patience of a saint because the amount of
8:51
times I told him that I would come down to the training center
8:54
and I didn't, it was insane, but when I came back from Florida, I
8:59
came back from Florida. I met my beautiful girlfriend
9:03
and she's a favor. We were watching something.
9:07
I appreciate that. We were, we were watching
9:09
something and everything just clicked.
9:11
I was like, maybe, maybe Oh, maybe a little bit of a lag
9:18
here. Boy, there's that.
9:23
Here's the bug. Hold on, he's spending, we're
9:27
back here. I see ya.
9:29
Your move. All right.
9:30
But something clicked. And I just like, maybe I should
9:34
try this. And the first day I tried it
9:38
you're like I want to say I wanted to be a wrestler.
9:47
I don't think I want to do this. Also in your first couple times,
9:50
you're going to a training facility.
9:52
They're going to be the dog shit out of you to see if you really
9:54
want this. That's just kind of the
9:56
wrestling Monarch, that's any sport, you play football, you
9:59
play in teams in the first week is just hell week and they want
10:02
to see if you really want to be a part of it or not.
10:05
It is. But I got to the point where I
10:07
was like, I can't I can't give up now, you know, I'm paying for
10:10
this. I got to see it through.
10:12
And so it, I just kept showing up kept showing up and it just
10:16
progressively got easier and easier and easier.
10:19
And then we had a little thing. NG where Molson started taking
10:24
over classes because Glory couldn't get there.
10:27
So, I benefit my training to both Justin glory and Molson,
10:33
because most one kind of took over towards my advance for my
10:38
advanced classes. So he kind of polished me up at
10:41
the end. And so I credit him because some
10:45
of the stuff that he taught us, it really translates in there.
10:49
He taught me. Well, both of them taught me to
10:51
focus more on. Story and any time you see me
10:54
rested, that's all I'm doing. I don't do big, huge moves.
10:58
I normally just wrestle story-wise.
11:00
Yeah, let's start it. And then it's been cake ever
11:03
since. Have you have, you always been a
11:06
pro wrestling fan? Is this something you've always
11:08
been like kind of infatuated with?
11:10
Yes, I've always been a fan. I stopped watching as a kid
11:14
because my mom didn't like that. I was trying wrestling moves on
11:18
my brother and my sister and so what That's the age gap between
11:22
us less than a year about a year, so make sure you're in the
11:28
same ballpark. Yeah.
11:30
But yeah, I was doing boobs on my siblings and she kind of got
11:34
mad about it and then when I couldn't watch it, I started
11:37
doing moves that people in in school.
11:39
Yeah, really kicked her off. But no, I stopped watching it
11:44
for a long while, stop watching it for a long while and I
11:49
haven't picked it up since. But since I've been watching
11:51
your Your podcast. I actually started getting back
11:55
into the product. Yeah.
11:57
Ed i-i'm trying II like the TV wrestling, right?
12:02
But my heart is in the independent scene and
12:04
independent everything, the a BJ podcast is turning into a
12:08
wrestling podcast but it's not the intention.
12:11
It's just that there's so many good stories here in the people
12:13
and just their come ups and stuff.
12:15
Like, we talked wrestling but it's more or less just like the
12:18
overall goal of what I want people to get.
12:20
Every time I listen to it. Uh, so just be inspired like, if
12:23
you're passionate anything, if it's art, if it's video games,
12:27
it's as being a streamer, it's being a musician.
12:29
Like, listen to someone's story whose in wrestling just be like,
12:32
yo, he just, he didn't, like he went for, you know what I mean?
12:35
That's essentially the under the overall Arc of what I'm trying
12:38
to get across in this podcast, it just happens that I'm, I'm
12:41
very heavily embodied in the professional wrestling world and
12:44
these are the people stories that I hear a lot.
12:46
And I'm like, man, I love them for them to come on and tell it
12:48
here, you know. Listen, I can tell you what if I
12:51
can become friends. A wrestler, anybody can prove
12:53
become one because sometimes there's some things that I just
12:57
did not stick to. Yeah.
12:59
But my debut that's that's when it really like they clicked
13:05
because that Adrenaline Rush that you get.
13:07
It's insane. I have a picture from my debut,
13:12
it was a picture of just me in the back and my hairs all crazy.
13:16
And I just all it says, is what am I doing here?
13:21
What was your debut? My debut was against the dude at
13:25
the last backbreaker show, the grocery store one.
13:29
Yes. The one in the parking lot.
13:31
That is so crazy because like, I remember them during the meeting
13:35
because that was my first and only ever time doing commentary
13:38
for backbreakers, Pete couldn't make it and they, they're just
13:42
like, yo, we need commentary and Pete.
13:44
Kind of put my name up there and I've always went, I went to
13:46
backbreakers shows and I hope I get content stuff while I was
13:49
there. I didn't even get to see the
13:50
shows because I was out in the lobby.
13:51
Doing interviews all day. Like, after some people
13:53
definitely come and talk to me and then leave it.
13:55
Yeah, it was fun. But yeah.
13:59
So I remember being in the meeting for that show.
14:01
And then just saying, we have, like six debuts tonight, like
14:06
six, people were debuting on, like, that's crazy.
14:09
And then all, six, you end up being like a young group of
14:13
wrestlers that I just, I fell in love with you guys, man.
14:15
Like, like, we hung out at the Binghamton show, we were hanging
14:19
out up in New York. We all went and got food
14:21
together. We I smash, we kind of all sat
14:23
in the bleachers together like we've kind of been like between
14:26
you. The young crew with you guys and
14:27
the young crew would the sanctuary guys.
14:30
We've always just kind of like we go to shows and we just sit
14:32
in the stands and just be fans and then have a good time and
14:35
now it's getting to a point where you guys are being
14:36
utilized more. And now I'm alone of the
14:38
bleachers, but maybe they'll find something for me to
14:42
actually, I went over and took the bailout.
14:43
I'll be the Belle guy. I'll go.
14:45
And do the panel is my mic messed up?
14:48
No, you're good. No, no.
14:50
It's This is what it's supposed to sound like oh you so much
14:56
Graves. I appreciate you.
14:58
So stream yard every now and then just takes my mic and just
15:00
changes the settings when it's not supposed to.
15:03
So yeah that was the whole beginning of the podcast.
15:05
I did with that. My neck - fancy 400 a
15:08
microphone. That's exciting.
15:12
Everybody. This is on casters supposed to
15:13
sound. I've been coming in and doing
15:16
that because nobody else told me.
15:21
We're here every day he listening to me as a content
15:23
creator like that. Sounds good to me.
15:26
So yeah, so that it's been really cool like bonding with
15:30
you guys and seeing this next Generation grow coming to.
15:33
And, and that's a huge reason. Why I'm very excited to be a
15:37
part of. I don't know if that's an ounce
15:39
or anything, but to be a part of High Ground as possible. 13, you
15:42
know, a huge reason why I took the job.
15:46
Just being honest is, I want to watch you guys grow and I'm a
15:50
fan of what you guys do. And I'm To see what use is, what
15:53
you guys bring to the table. And if I can be the voice behind
15:56
your early career, I'm excited to do.
15:58
So, the to do a part of it, it's awesome.
16:02
You know when you hear it wrong like yellow black or fix your
16:06
shit, you won't be helpful but now bad content knowledge.
16:13
So case a wise I hate Sanctuary. Okay, I hate.
16:17
I hate that Vincent Torres me. Personally, I love it.
16:21
I love it because there's there. It's a group of good guys and
16:25
we're all we are all starting at the same time so it's kind of
16:28
it's like a good little mesh, you know, especially because
16:32
there is a lot of comparisons between me and Vince.
16:35
Yeah, you guys can be cousins but no, i-i'll keep speaking
16:41
into existence until it happens. But I think I think this year
16:44
would be really fun to watch you guys collab and work together
16:47
and do fun things. You don't I mean yeah.
16:51
Gears that I didn't notice somehow.
16:53
That's all right, brother. I'll let it slide.
16:55
Reed says he's been in the wrestling since he's a toddler G
16:58
raised. Actually my mom, your mom.
17:02
That's mommy Bambino. That's mommy been beat.
17:05
That's Mama. Bambino Morgan says, re Ripley
17:08

17:21
We just passed 500 subscribers so let's keep that growing.
17:25
Yeah. So so we don't know if mom was
17:28
here the whole time if she heard you know you know you use
17:31
suplexing your siblings, you know?
17:32
And that she probably was. So who was your favorites?
17:37
Like when you were watching as a kid who are people?
17:39
You have gravitated to? I was into bigger guys, I was
17:44
always in a bigger guys and I still to this day, watch a lot
17:48
of old school wrestling so I based most of my stuff.
17:51
School wrestling. So some of the people that I
17:55
normally watch on a daily basis is like, Arn Anderson.
17:58
I watch, Bam. Bam, Bigelow, I watch.
18:02
I do too. I actually have two commentary
18:06
in the building that. Well, it's not the same
18:08
building, I don't think but it's the same school that Bambam came
18:11
out of. Yeah.
18:14
I'm literally just had a brain, fart monster Factory.
18:16
He's a monster Factory guy from Jersey.
18:18
Yeah, yeah, you know that Look at Monster factories roster, who
18:23
came out of there. Bambam, like Rod, just the
18:27
people on TV. Now Matt riddle came out of
18:30
there. Preston Vance 10 from the dark
18:31
order. Okay.
18:33
Yeah. Tom Damien priests came out of
18:35
out of there, a lot of big names command is Legends in general.
18:38
Just the legends that came out of we can do a whole podcast on
18:42
the names that came out of crazy.
18:45
But yeah, it was always bigger, guys.
18:47
So like I was a big, huge, Undertaker and Kane fan because
18:51
they were just monsters and I love watching it.
18:53
What are you doing? What are you doing?
18:55
A moonsault off the top rope? Like, Bam, Bam, we got time.
19:03
But yeah, it was, it was that and it was also I fell in love
19:07
with characters like really bigger than Life characters.
19:10
So I loved, I loved FBI. I love the mama looks like I I
19:15
loved those characters because I mean, I'm Italian American, you
19:18
know, I grew up in an Italian household.
19:21
I never gravitate to the town characters, never know, my
19:24
great-grandfather had a picture of Bruno Sammartino like that
19:29
that kind of. Yeah.
19:30
Italian Italian rustling families growing up.
19:32
You had Jesus in one corner and a pitcher, Bruno and the other.
19:35
Exactly. But yet, so, when I debuted my
19:41
my Nana, she actually talked to me about it and my Grandfather.
19:46
This is always been his dream yourself wrestler.
19:49
Yes. So in a sense it will not to be
19:51
a professional wrestler but somebody in his bloodline to
19:54
become a professional wrestler. Ha ha ha.
19:56
I don't know that I was completing his dream and yeah, I
20:01
guess he used to, he loved wrestling.
20:04
They talked about his chair that he used to sit in and he would,
20:08
he would get so anxious in the matches that he would rub his
20:10
legs on the legs of the chair. And they were worn out.
20:13
So when he passed away, they had Throw out the chair because what
20:17
was his name? I don't know.
20:20
You don't know your great guy. I thought maybe, you know, I
20:27
didn't but ya know they always refer to him as my
20:30
great-grandfather and then we really knew his name.
20:33
What if his name was fucking Donnie?
20:35
How creepy I'm happy? That would be creepy.
20:39
My name came Outta nowhere. I don't even know where my name
20:42
came from because I had to A bunch of original names for I
20:46
was like I'm gonna beat this guy, I'm going to be this guy
20:49
and then one day I just heard the name Donnie and I was
20:52
watching I forget what I was watching.
20:54
But somebody called another person baby and I went what if I
20:58
was dying baby, like kind of like over the top.
21:02
I think it's funny that you went.
21:03
So why did you go with Bambino? Because I wanted to be Donnie
21:07
baby and what isn't Bambino? And Italians means small.
21:13
Yeah, it means little baby. Yeah, you're a bigger guy.
21:17
I know which Colour do you know who robbed?
21:21
You know, Robbie Illuminati. He's a he's a professional
21:28
wrestler around this area. He he's been doing shows at 3wa
21:33
and your great great. Yeah, it was.
21:36
By the way. Well now I'm dumb but he he
21:46
pulled me aside. At the last show we were talking
21:49
because we both have similar gimmicks.
21:50
He has more of a rapper, Italian gimmick and I have the, the new
21:54
Don we were just. Yeah, we were just talking about
21:58
how many people have like, Italian, gimmicks and how you
22:00
got to kind of put a little twist on it, and he goes, you
22:03
know, what you should do? You should put little in front
22:05
of your name and belittled on bambino.
22:07
No, it was me. I don't think you have to with
22:10
Bambino in the name. Yeah.
22:13
However like he's gonna. That's what Bambino is you
22:15
idiot? That's why.
22:18
You know what? The worst part is, though, I
22:20
always get compared to Tony Soprano.
22:24
No, I thought for sure it would have been hard with the police -
22:30
they do the Italian thing. Well they do this weird to you.
22:34
Take you jump in that round. You're taking it from me.
22:37
Yeah. I don't know how to do fingers
22:40
when I talked annunzio. I was like, Hey, like I do an
22:43
Italian gimmick. This was in New York, we went to
22:45
that one show. And I was like, Hey, like I do
22:48
an Italian gimmick and he goes, yeah, he's still my stick and I
22:51
was like, no, no, no, I'm not, I'm not taking it, I don't do
22:54
this, I do this. So now I talk, I talk more like
23:00
a point like this. I'll do the Italian Point
23:03
instead of having to do this, I have to hold my hands up.
23:07
Leather on the back that I hit my mic's and stuff.
23:12
Yeah, you ever see, I've never actually learned how to do it,
23:15
but you ever watch Italians play fingers.
23:18
No, they like, it's kind of like rock paper scissors.
23:20
But they throw fingers and it's a number of you.
23:22
I know you never learn. Yeah.
23:24
I've never learned how to do it but I used to watch old videos
23:26
of like my family used to fight all the time.
23:29
Now without giving up, your Chute name, I'm not asking for
23:31
the shoot name. But do you come from an Italian
23:33
family where there's like a hundred people with the same
23:35
name because their honor and somebody else?
23:37
Technically, yeah. So I'm the black sheep a little
23:42
bit because I was named after somebody else that I wasn't
23:44
supposed to be named after. That's what I'm part of a family
23:47
with like 100 Stevens. Well, my room, like I have like,
23:51
50 cousin Stevens. My actual name wasn't supposed
23:54
to be what it is. Like, it was.
23:58
I believe my mom originally wanted a me Michael Michael
24:01
emillio after my family. Oh, yeah.
24:06
And then, that was originally going to be My wrestling name.
24:09
It was going to be my key Emilio and I was like, well I don't
24:12
like 'I came up with Donny and I was like even landed in my
24:22
middle name. I had to have a little bit of
24:24
the namesake of the family and my middle name so I'm Anthony
24:26
Stephen. Yeah my name you don't have to
24:30
sign it. No I'll do my middle name.
24:33
Is John okay. John White is middle name ever?
24:37
That's name is actually Irish lady.
24:40
So yeah. Well, I'm Irish Italian, I can
24:42
ever be made. Yeah, when I grow my beard out
24:45
now, let's go and white, but all the spots that were white and we
24:48
used to be red. There was a little period of
24:52
time where I was talking to my uncle and he's loves the fact
24:57
that I'm a wrestler and he constantly gives me ideas.
24:59
Like one of his ideas was I should sell Binky's with Bambino
25:04
on it because my last name is Ben be no.
25:07
And I was like, that's stupid, but because I had my beard
25:12
growing in, I had it shaved in the form of Donnie Bambino with
25:15
the mustache and just the, the outline of the beard.
25:18
And he goes, man, you got Reds and whites in your beard and I
25:22
go, don't say that, don't say that.
25:24
So there's actually promo pictures of me with my beard
25:27
dyed black because self-conscious, because he tells
25:32
me, he goes yeah. All of your uncle's turn gray at
25:35
like 26. And I'm like, I have a little
25:38
bit of streak in mind. Getting up there little gray
25:40
spots but you know, you should do though, you should you should
25:44
get like the mother Mary cards. So I don't know how much, how
25:47
much mob history do you like, are you into mob stuff?
25:51
Like, is that like your thing? I am, I am that.
25:54
I know, I know enough to portray the character.
25:57
I don't know, enough to go in depth with the character.
25:59
You know what I mean? If I have it act easy
26:01
accessible, I am listening. No, I know what you're talking
26:06
about. I dunno what you're talking
26:08
about, because the whole initiation thing.
26:11
Yes, yes. Yeah, I have I literally have
26:14
it's like, this long and like that thick and it's like, 15
26:18
DVDs. And is literally beginning to
26:21
end of the mob all over the country.
26:24
It breaks down like the Northeast and Midwest, I know
26:26
you're talking about, I bought it, so I bought it at the and
26:30
then it breaks down. Have the mob and then pop,
26:33
Culture. Like they talk about the movies
26:35
like Goodfellas and how they like, it's like 15 DVDs.
26:37
It goes to the whole history, I love the Italian mob.
26:41
So I'll let you in on a little big.
26:43
I'm actually a heathen which is I believe in like Norse
26:48
mythology. Okay.
26:50
I'm more of a yeah. So, I kind of shy away from that
26:54
but character-wise, I have to be a cat.
26:56
So I'm Italian and I'm people blowing agnostic atheist.
26:59
Yeah. Or some would say Satanist
27:03
because I rise by my original gear idea, was, I wanted to tied
27:09
two of those together to with the whole mob scene and then
27:12
what I actually believe and I was going to have terror cards
27:16
on the one side of my, right. I'm glad you didn't do this, but
27:21
I was gonna have tarot cards and then I was going to have hands
27:26
with flame coming out of them. As like a symbol towards it, but
27:30
yeah, really. You should hand out the made
27:33
cards. You get the card and they light
27:36
it on fire and whole meal. I should do a bit.
27:39
I'll make a playing cards for myself and like make them look
27:43
like a like passing out cards. And then David, oh, David.
27:47
Oh, I'll have people put them in their hands.
27:49
Like you're initiated into the Gambino family.
27:57
It's early in the podcast, but I want to do this.
27:59
So I always say I want to keep doing this on the podcast.
28:02
Last episode I didn't do a full draft, I just asked my guests
28:05
his his his desert island Punk albums because he's really into
28:09
the punk scene. So we're going to do a draft me
28:11
versus you. I'ma so we want to do three
28:15
rounds or five. I will do. 33 know I have this
28:20
and I'm not big into the movies. All right, first Italian mob
28:27
movies. I'll let you start off.
28:29
I'll give you first pick of the draft night.
28:32
First one, Godfather, the gonna pick a great pick great pick.
28:38
I'll and I'll even say that includes all Godfather's.
28:40
So Godfather one and two will not so much three threes, not
28:44
that good. No, I'm gonna go Goodfellas.
28:47
My first pick. Okay, not really well.
28:52
No, technically it is my movie. I really like the Irishman.
28:56
Okay, that's hot. That's yeah.
28:57
That's yeah, that's higher class.
28:59
I mean, Iris Robert De Niro playing an Irishman and he's
29:02
clearly not Irish. Well, I mean, I hate to break it
29:07
to you but Pacino's not Cuban. My second pick is going to be
29:17
I'm not going to take the one I want but I don't think you're
29:19
going to pick it up so I'll get it later in the draft is more of
29:22
a steel but I'm gonna go number two.
29:28
I'll take Casino. Yeah.
29:37
Take for my third one. It's not gonna be a movie.
29:40
It would have to be The Sopranos because I'm, I just I'm, I'm I'm
29:45
so offended. You didn't say this one movie.
29:47
It's in your given name. Donnie Brasco.
29:51
Oh yeah, no, I should have said that.
29:55
I'm not even kidding. There was a night.
29:58
Watching Donnie, Brasco and Morgan came upstairs, and she
30:02
goes. What are you doing?
30:03
And I go, I'm doing research so good.
30:05
Evening, I go, I'm doing research.
30:06
For my gimmick. Okay?
30:08
Isn't came out? Yeah, yeah.
30:12
He came out of me and that's where I got it from.
30:14
Because they have that beginning.
30:15
See, he's like these are skeezy diamonds.
30:17
And so, and our card got posted for me versus Mike's Kairos and
30:23
he called himself, what is it? No filler.
30:25
I'll kill her. And I was like, oh, you're a
30:27
fugazi killer forget about it, whatever.
30:30
And I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
30:32
And then he clapped back at me and call me a coward.
30:34
And I was like, huh? Fuck Put it in a video, it was
30:39
like, all right. Yeah, another good thing about
30:43
that movie. It gets me every time is, is,
30:46
when he's like coming. Who are you?
30:48
Who are you? And he goes, why?
30:49
I guess, because I'm one of the most known men in this thing.
30:52
And this guy cost of all this information for you in a second
30:55
like this. I don't know.
30:57
Such a good movie. That's, and that's based on true
30:59
events. That's a good one.
31:00
Yeah, some honorable mentions. You gotta if you got sick Bronx,
31:04
Tale. That's another good one.
31:05
Yeah, with your watch. That's a Wait one damn.
31:07
So many. I like it.
31:08
That's how we could have. I can go on for days and days of
31:10
the time I got to say, I feel like I've watched more than I
31:12
can remember. Because now you're saying these
31:15
movies, I'm like, no, I'm seeing that I'm seeing that heavily.
31:18
She not one Bronx has very underrated at such a, that's a
31:21
really, really good. One room.
31:25
Would you consider would you consider Scarface?
31:30
I would say it's a gangster movie, but it's not an Italian
31:32
Mom. It's not in time of them.
31:34
Another one salt and a comedy Italian mob, movie Analyze This
31:39
and analyze that I haven't seen that.
31:41
See them. So Billy Crystal is a shrink and
31:44
De Niro is going to a shrink because he keeps having panic
31:47
attacks. But doesn't want anyone to know
31:49
he's going to a shrink because he has daddy issues the leader
31:52
of the mob. It's really, really funny.
31:57
I think I'm having Heart attack. You have an anxiety attack.
32:00
Don't you tell anybody? I had an anxiety attack.
32:03
It's all in The Sopranos. That's like the whole Baseline
32:05
for him. They Yak to Tony Soprano,
32:08
because he goes to a shrink never watched the fun, but I've
32:10
never watched Sopranos. I so when it was on, I was too
32:14
poor to have HBO. And then later on, when it came
32:16
out, I already knew how it ended and how it was a disappointment.
32:20
I guess people said How It Ends, something, I'm not wasting my
32:22
time. Yeah, Dexter, I'll never get
32:26
burnt by a show again. Which call it that, 3wa the last
32:31
show that I did the they were chanting AJ.
32:35
To piss me off and AJ is Soprano's kid.
32:40
And he's asking a junior, so they call AJ for sure.
32:43
And they kept, they kept yelling AJ, like, your dad's gonna be
32:46
mad at you, beat up some kid and I love hecklers.
32:52
I love hecklers. I love what's the best?
32:55
What's the best when you got so far?
32:56
Is that, is that, is that number one, know the best one I got was
33:04
I can't remember, I think was my debut show. it was my debut show
33:09
and what was it? There was a group of guys in the
33:13
back and any time I looked over at them they just kept saying
33:17
forget about it, anytime they would just yell forget about it
33:24
and like that's not funny. I just remember being in that
33:29
parking lot and Travis Dorian brought me and Brian on
33:32
commentary list like two big cans of Miller, High Life and we
33:35
were slamming beers during commentary.
33:38
Probably not the best thing to do but if there's One who can
33:42
drink beer and talk on a live microphone.
33:44
You're looking at them. I've done it for four years.
33:46
Now doing a podcast. But yeah, and the whole time,
33:50
I'm like, Brian. That's like there's a cop right
33:52
there and we're drinking it with an open container in a parking
33:56
lot of a grocery store. And we're getting away with it
33:58
because of pro wrestling. It's a little commentary.
34:02
This is the greatest show ever. That's awesome.
34:06
I tell you what those highlighted that show.
34:08
The highlight of that show, I had a lot of family there,
34:11
right? Right.
34:11
And I told him all beforehand, I was like, I'm a bad guy.
34:14
He got a boo me. Okay, I'm a bad guy, you can't
34:17
cheer me got a boo-boo. Oh my God.
34:20
They were Relentless. They were Relentless and I had I
34:24
had my nana there, my grandmother and she was bullying
34:28
me. She was bullying me louder than
34:30
everybody else. And there was the part where I
34:33
threw the dude into the ring post and I started stomping on
34:38
them outside of the Ring. - look at suicide of my And I see my
34:42
nana with her cell phone calling me every name in the book you
34:48
should be doing that, but I'm really getting into it was a
34:52
little old lady that goes to every backbreaker show.
34:54
And she tries to trip people with her cane as are coming back
34:56
through the curtain. I can't remember her name.
34:59
I know who you talking about though.
35:01
Yeah, she's amazing. She's my favorite part about
35:03
those shows. I love all the little goodies
35:05
that go to the show. Yeah, they get when I first
35:06
started training she because I would work the door.
35:11
Or and then I would do security after everybody was in the door
35:15
and she would always come through she'd.
35:17
Give me your ticket slip and then she'd give me a
35:18
butterscotch from her purse. I was almost anything to do of
35:23
all time. She's like the living, The
35:25
Stereotype. Yeah.
35:26
Yeah but it was the best and she goes when you debut you better
35:29
be a good guy and I'm like you're going to be hitting me
35:33
with your cane lady. So what is, what is in the
35:38
future for Donna? You got what shows you got
35:40
coming up? What is, what are some new
35:42
steps? You're taking a 2023.
35:45
So we have high ground, High ground and I don't know, you
35:49
could really just catch me at 3wa and normally I'm tagging
35:54
along on WIC Nathaniel Cunningham so wherever he's
35:57
booked I'll probably be right behind them.
35:59
How do you guys work that gimmick the Pretty Boy and the
36:03
the Italian mobster. Oh well, we had this.
36:07
Thing where we were going to release videos and doing it and
36:11
all this, High Ground stuff happened.
36:13
So we couldn't really film the rest of it, so it kind of got
36:17
cut. But um, it's good because we're
36:22
actual real-life friends and so it works together because it's
36:26
more of a, I'm the Don and I found somebody that I can trust
36:30
and talk to because I don't talk to nobody, I just bully them and
36:34
he's kind of this narcissist. It's full of Himself.
36:38
But I see something in him and I'm like, he's a good guy, he's
36:41
a good guy, you know. And so we came got a little
36:44
sugar in his tank. He's a good guy, but we came up
36:48
with a name because we wanted to do something like simple but we
36:52
can switch if we have to be baby or heal.
36:57
So we came up with the BFFs and so that's that's like our face
37:01
thing where where the BFFs were best friends.
37:04
Okay. It does hits this weird
37:06
combination He works. I swear to god, it works but and
37:10
then when we're bad guys wear the bad fellows.
37:14
So it's like play on Good Fellows?
37:16
Yeah. All right, I'm gonna do it.
37:18
Yeah, we got we get that gear coming.
37:21
We got tagged. You're gumming.
37:22
So it'll it'll look good. It'll tie together better.
37:26
Yeah, I I'm I love Nathaniel. He's, I'm reaching out to him
37:30
for the podcast for next month. That is something we need to
37:32
talk to you. I don't, I don't know.
37:35
I and I'm not trying to be mean, who the hell am I?
37:37
I'm just the guy commentary, but I'm not sold yet on this
37:39
character. Like I love this character,
37:42
really, I love it. I love it.
37:44
I feel lonely because I feel there's a few other people out
37:48
there doing the very, very, very, very similar thing and I
37:52
feel like I think if he stepped out and tried something that's
37:57
more him, I don't know. Maybe this is him.
37:59
You know what I mean? Like I'm trying I just I don't
38:01
know. Like there's some kind of
38:03
someone tries to do that. I can tell you right now if
38:07
that's him. Yeah all right.
38:09
Well then maybe I'm wrong. He is an asshole asshole.
38:24
Yeah. Like so like this one guy that
38:28
will say I'll just on commentary.
38:30
I've been roasting really hard on time and and that's honestly
38:34
my new favorite thing I do. I'm not sure what I'm going to
38:36
do yet in High Ground if I'm going to go full heal and
38:38
commentary by probably will and I guess I'll just kind of
38:42
depends, but that's kind of what my goal is going into.
38:45
The new year is just leaned heavily into bad guy commentary,
38:49
but like, I do it, so I guess good, maybe ish.
38:54
In Germany that after the show. I'm like, hey come here, just a
38:57
heads up. When you listen to the show
38:59
back, I actually don't hate to. I just want a little hard in the
39:02
paint, like I just attached to somebody on the show and I just
39:06
go hard, I love it. But the first my debut match you
39:11
just called me a handsome, Italian, man.
39:13
And I went, yeah, I don't did it just?
39:15
It just came natural. I just stuck with it.
39:17
Who did I hate on that? Showed who, like, who like rap
39:19
mon? I can't remember.
39:22
I think was pretty sure that was the start of the the Ricky, the
39:27
Ricky. I just hated them.
39:28
For some reason, I just is going to hate this kid and Sanctuary.
39:32
I just pick all the Honor Society to shit on them every
39:36
time like him. And in that tag match was
39:39
awesome. Someone kill crispy fries, just
39:47
become my best friend. I love that.
39:51
A what I had three eliminations, two eliminations to eliminate
39:56
that match. And one of them was just we were
40:00
we were getting cut on time so he had to go.
40:02
And I was like, it's believable. It's getting it's really fun for
40:07
me at this point. We're just comp or not.
40:08
We're just talking to don't even question any more fun things.
40:11
Like now more people are, hitting me up.
40:14
Another from Ocean's asking if we can do a whyville re from
40:17
commentary to the ring and as I'm telling you first, NG first,
40:22
I don't take bums, I don't wrestle.
40:24
So if your payoff is me getting beat up, it ain't happenin.
40:27
Your payoff could be you hire me.
40:29
There you go. I won't.
40:30
I won't do you like the dude and we'll do all right.
40:33
Yeah, I feel so bad that happened for him.
40:38
I did, but it and it sucked because I couldn't like talk
40:41
about it more Uncommon here, because we were legit concern,
40:44
but I was like, I hired a moron Was do to beat.
40:52
He was there to beat him up and he head-butted a turnbuckle it
40:56
where it is when he got eliminate it from the multi man
41:02
tag, he does the spot. He wanted to do specifically was
41:07
with a this pie into the yeah Buckle.
41:09
So he like stops himself. He gets rolled up and when he
41:12
gets out he kicks the pole. Yeah.
41:14
And he starts telling his foot. Yeah.
41:16
I don't know if you heard me, but I turned around and I go.
41:18
Are you stupid? I think on Hammer didn't get it
41:22
but on commentary like the dude just kick the pole.
41:24
What it is like having a blast. But yeah, maybe maybe, that's
41:29
maybe I guess I send you after Ricky this year at the sanctuary
41:31
during the Friday show. When I do, it's an absolute
41:35
blast. I love, I love what you guys are
41:36
doing that, that crew. So let's run through that crew.
41:39
Who's all in your little, your little stable of your Posse will
41:42
say. Okay, so we have for me, this
41:46
is, this is my little group that I like to surround myself with
41:49
you got the dude, you got Damon Dante you got Nathaniel
41:54
Cunningham and Shelby Waters. That's the main group right now.
41:59
Yeah. But there was a lot more
42:03
up-and-coming. Yeah, we have a lot.
42:07
I heard I heard about this one muscle.
42:08
Do you guys got you? Brought him a tricky price,
42:11
brought in He came in and he made me mad.
42:14
I heard he's a monster. He made me mad.
42:17
I was like why can't I be genetically gifted like that?
42:22
This man came in and he was, he came in hot, he was ready to
42:26
start. I was like, I'm excited.
42:29
I'm super excited. So the I think that the podcast
42:32
with Damien I was trying to think of the other person that
42:35
I'm a big fan of that came at a high backbreakers and I don't
42:38
know if he's going to be involved with high grounds or
42:39
not, but I really, really I generally enjoy watching him
42:42
work and then hit me after the podcast and a Dyson Bennett.
42:46
I'm a Dyson benefit. Yeah, I'm not too sure because
42:50
I'm not really in the back. Yeah.
42:53
But I thought he was someone who when I would go to backbreaker
42:55
so I can I see him working smashing stuff.
42:58
I think he's very talented. Talented, I didn't give him his
43:00
roses last podcast, so I'm making up for it now.
43:03
So if he is listening, which probably, yeah, no, I know Dyson
43:07
because I met Dyson, when I first started doing, like,
43:10
security and stuff, because I think on that time, he was a
43:13
trainee. There's ever happened to the
43:17
kid. Whatever happened to the kid
43:18
with the bleach blonde hair. Does he still wrestle?
43:21
I interviewed him in the other one backbreaker show.
43:24
Are you talking about? I have no idea.
43:27
He called me and I said, you know, who you look like.
43:31
You look like the dude from Rocky, Horror Picture, Show,
43:33
Riff Raff. This is why you wake a because I
43:41
say shit, what was this? Gimmick the the brightest star
43:48
or something? Yeah I like you look like the
43:50
dude from Rocky Horror Picture Show.
43:51
A little haven't heard from him. Haven't heard from haven't seen
43:54
him so he was a nice guy and we had a fun interview.
43:58
I think I interviewed Nathaniel in the mask at that point and I
44:01
didn't know who he was. Yes, because I wasn't smart at
44:05
the time of backbreaker, who's the mass people were so
44:07
Nathaniel came out and I interviewed him as when he won
44:10
the title, no idea that was Nathaniel.
44:12
So, I actually interviewed him already.
44:14
He hated that mask, he made, he had this great idea.
44:19
He's going to be a masked wrestler and once he started
44:21
wrestling in it and found out, you can't fucking breathe.
44:25
He hated it. He like I open this.
44:28
Yeah. Smash Master smash Master.
44:32
He ripped out the mouth backstage so we could actually
44:35
breathe for that. Smash, what is that?
44:40
What is this show? I think you should leave.
44:42
I think we did too much. I can't fucking breathe.
44:46
But no, originally, when we wanted to do a tag team, it was
44:49
going to be masked characters. He was going to get a new, like
44:51
a better mask that he can actually breathe out of.
44:54
And I was going to get, it's going to get a whole unicorn,
44:56
get up. Let's come to do a unicorn man.
44:58
Unicorn. So happy that I was gonna be
45:04
take the Unicorn. I'm not ruling out.
45:10
That still happen at some point. I think the name was the magical
45:14
friends or something, it was something stupid.
45:20
Yeah, so what is, who's on the hit list for 2023?
45:23
Who do you want to wrestle? That's what's that's speak.
45:25
Some names into existence. I do have my list on Facebook, I
45:30
did post it, put it out in the any ether, but there was a lot
45:34
of people that I left off of it and I didn't realize how many
45:39
more people I actually want to fight and one that I'm really
45:43
proud that I got I'm really happy that I got is Mike's
45:46
Kairos. Yeah that's as I feel like you
45:48
wrestling game. Going to make me better.
45:50
Yeah, you guys are very new to the game and I think the names
45:54
that you guys are wrestling in this promotion are I'm not
45:59
saying this would be disrespectful, but I definitely
46:02
think in your rest, like everyone in the card, you froze,
46:06
your eyes are closed on my screen.
46:08
I'm not going to say what I'm saying, till he comes back.
46:11
I don't know if you can hear me or not.
46:14
There we go, are you back? All right, so, here's the thing.
46:16
I said, I have no idea. No.
46:18
All right, so I said I said without no disrespect when I say
46:21
this, I said a lot of the the matches that you guys have
46:24
gotten on this. This this show coming up is very
46:27
like next step up from a lot of what you're used to.
46:31
Like you a lot of views on this card are going to be wrestling
46:34
some next-level opponents people who've been doing this a very
46:37
long time, in are establishing and can do some really good
46:41
magic. Cool things in the ring.
46:42
So it's exciting for you guys to get this opportunity.
46:44
I'm really excited to see this show.
46:46
It's very exciting because I look at it that way, these guys
46:49
are so much better than us. They are above right now, and if
46:55
we are able to hold our own in that match, it means that we can
47:00
get better. So it's more of a learning
47:02
experience. Yeah, because if I can keep up
47:05
with my ex Kairos, I keep up with anybody Kyra's has been
47:11
putting on. Also, when putting on the weight
47:13
is in Waiting is a bad thing. I'm saying, weight, as a mass.
47:16
No, he's over. He's Russell as a horse.
47:19
Now, you know what I mean? So, you guys can do a little,
47:21
some hot shit, you know. Well, because the way I look at
47:24
it and I'm throwing this out here, I want him to make me
47:27
work. Because I want to get better and
47:31
the only way to get better is to work better wrestlers, you know.
47:37
But what is what is some of the plans without giving anything
47:40
away for High Ground wrestling? So the first show is going to be
47:43
a benefit show. So people who are coming, don't
47:46
expect storyline. This is not the beginning of
47:49
high ground when it comes to what, to expect as a brand.
47:52
But yes, so, once again, I'm not saying this with disrespect, but
47:56
you guys your crew of people are going to be the ones because Or
47:59
the new trainees as students who are going to get a lot of shine
48:01
here this promotion. Correct.
48:03
Yes, I believe it's the younger generation is going to have the
48:06
focal point, so it's going to be our growth for the company.
48:10
Yeah. So essentially you're going to
48:12
be that early stages of like an NXT, but in an independent
48:15
promotion, I think a lot of people might see that and be
48:18
like, well, why would I support? And I'm not, this is not
48:20
disrespect, but like there's people out in the independency
48:23
now who are very well established who have, who have
48:25
earned our spot and a lot of you Eyes are a year, maybe not even
48:31
20, 30 matches in and you're going to be the focal points of
48:34
a new promotion which is big shoes to fill.
48:36
But I honestly and the reason why I'm I'm taking these
48:41
bookings and I'm not going to other places is because I
48:43
believe in you guys and I really and I'm excited to see how you
48:47
grow. The thing is, You're never going
48:52
to get anywhere if you don't take chances.
48:54
This is absolutely chance. This is a big chance and it has
48:57
it has a big payoff in the end. And if we can be on that side,
49:02
I'm trying to I'm trying to reach for the stars.
49:04
I can't speak for anybody else but I'm trying to reach for the
49:06
stars loving. This is this is that next step
49:10
because I'm young, I'm hungry. And I want to do this for a
49:13
living. And I mean, people get mad at
49:17
me, say I'm handed things, I'm not handed anything.
49:20
I'm in that gym what? Well, I don't go to the gym.
49:24
I work out of my house but I do the I need.
49:28
Why do what I call pipe curls but I have to go but I'm working
49:34
out constantly any day. I can get into the center when I
49:37
don't have work. I'm there, I'm constantly
49:40
training and that's how most of the guys that within that group
49:44
are. They're constantly at that at
49:46
the center, they're constantly keep keep innovating on
49:50
different things that we can do because I'm or some of the
49:54
horror. Some of the veteran faces are
49:55
names that are still like Associated from the previous
49:58
regime here that are. Are there helping you guys?
50:02
I'm not too sure because I hate changes.
50:04
Every once in a while, you know. Okay guys, we'll just show up
50:08
because it's more of like an open ring towards towards the
50:11
end. So people just come.
50:13
But I can tell you Sam Thompson has shown a valid shown up.
50:18
We haven't gotten any big big names but I again I haven't
50:23
really been at the Centre too much because the only day I can
50:26
get off of work is Sundays and Saturdays and Sundays with days.
50:30
I have off work and yeah I got show Saturdays and I got
50:33
training Sundays but it's just a constant Loop.
50:38
Yeah, and I'm sure you're going to get some time in when it
50:40
comes to Sanctuary this year and doing that stuff because like I
50:43
said, that that doors open for you guys on those.
50:45
First Friday, shows are great opportunities to get some work
50:48
in, but is there anything that we didn't cover that you want to
50:51
get out there? No, other than, and I'm young
50:57
and hungry. I'm pushing for the top.
51:00

I haven't been in the business a while but I can tell you, I've
51:06
been training for three years. I was in that training center
51:10
for three years and those three years I'm hungry.
51:14

51:17

51:20
there's there's a lot of opportunity and And for a lot of
