0:06
We just took a quick break then, definitely not really recording
0:08
this part, but Cats and Peng was telling me about his son being a
0:12
second generational wrestler. Well, he's not had his first
0:15
match yet, but he's trained at the moment.
0:18
When do you think he will step foot in the ring and have his
0:21
first match? Well, as I said, like resting is
0:28
all about dedication. It's about the effort you put in
0:30
and the effort you want to do. That is like me, I used to drive
0:35
every Sunday to train, however long it took, all day long,
0:39
whatever. And driving to shows XYZ.
0:43
So initially when he said oh, I need to be arrested, I was like,
0:45
OK, cool. There's the bus stop.
0:47
Get make your own way there. I'm not taking you there.
0:51
Go and get on a bus, which also gives him that independence.
0:54
He's 14 now. I used to take a bus from when I
0:57
was 9 or whatever, stupid when you grow up in, in our
1:00
generation, let's say. So they're, they're, they're a
1:05
Hobbit generation, aren't they? They all sit in their houses
1:07
like a little hermit crab. So for me it was like, you need
1:10
that, get up, go drive. There's the bus stop, 1 bus,
1:15
that's what it takes. 1 bus and a 5 minute walk.
1:17
That's all he needs. So for me, it's like, if you
1:19
want to do it, that's what you're doing.
1:21
So he started off taking the bus, make friends as you do, you
1:27
go wrestling training, you make friends you make.
1:29
And then now he gets the bus some days, but also gets picked
1:33
up by some of the wrestlers and some of the people training.
1:36
And for me, it shows that wanting to grow and wanting to
1:41
do things independently and having to do these things
1:43
independently and it helps. It's helping him grow.
1:47
So first match, they have an Academy show on the 15th of
1:51
November. I mean, it's only just friends
1:53
and family of these. Yeah, the wrestlers, bear in
1:57
mind the last one they had. The last one was absolutely
2:01
unreal. So sorry, can I just veer off on
2:05
this? Right.
2:06
The last Academy show, they had a 10 year old versus a 10 year
2:10
old. And I know other other companies
2:12
do it, but for me, watching these 10 year olds grow through
2:15
their training because every now and then I pop down and watch
2:18
XYZ I've seen. And it was a really good match.
2:21
It was a fun match and the whole show was absolutely brilliant.
2:24
So you had the the more the older group against some of the
2:27
young group I touched on, I mentioned Raymond O'Reilly, who
2:32
is a phenomenal young talent. He wrestled a nine year old or
2:39
10 year old, whoever he was and and that was a fun match and he
2:42
got to wrestle and all the other guys got to do this.
2:44
And some of the some of the other guys from the adult class,
2:48
the ones who I'm going to mention one person here, Ryan
2:52
Russell. So, so Ryan Russell who's just
2:56
started to get out now, he is somebody that only started doing
3:01
it to push his son and was only like, OK, I'm going to do it as
3:08
well. Let's do it together.
3:10
So and his journey and his his drive, he's got he's got a bit
3:15
of an old school head as well, which is brilliant.
3:17
Bret Hart is his favorite. So he loves that sort of old
3:20
school style. So you can see him doing bits
3:22
and bobs that, you know, people want to see in this day and age.
3:25
But so yeah, like seeing these boys and watching this Academy
3:29
show and watching them grow on this Academy show was brilliant.
3:32
And then it came to the main event.
3:34
And I have never cried watching a wrestling match until until
3:41
that day. What brought on the tears?
3:46
So John Moores, who runs Genesis Professional Wrestling, he does
3:49
the, he runs the Academy, he runs all this that and the
3:52
other, As I said, the last couple of years the, the company
3:55
has grown for the goods. It's some really good talent in
3:58
there and this, that and the other.
4:00
And there was this young, young guy named Will who, who has
4:07
autism. So he wrestles on the name of
4:10
Autistic Titan. So he he embraces his autism and
4:15
and he's he's a good lad. He's a really good lad.
4:18
And he had his first match main, again, main event versus the
4:23
owner of the company, John North.
4:26
And again, see what we're saying about woop.
4:30
Yeah. And oy oy and all that jazz.
4:32
Yeah. He has this finger going.
4:34
Zoop, zoop, zoop, zoop. The whole crowd, the venue was
4:37
rocking. And he was doing this because
4:40
he's he's finisher. He's got a little devastating
4:42
left hook as he's finisher. And John being the absolute pro,
4:47
he has put this kid over the moon and gave him a platform to
4:54
work on. And John's known him since the
4:58
start of his journey and he watched and he kind of like,
5:00
well, let's go and then see what happens.
5:02
And well, he did brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
5:08
And then he grabbed the mic and then he put me to tears.
5:13
So again, I think the only reason for that was is because
5:20
you understand, again, same, same thing I was saying with ACW
5:24
in Cyprus, you understand what this can actually do for people
5:28
and what it can bring to people. And he grabbed the mic and he
5:31
was like, I, the quote was, I remember watching John Cena
5:37
versus The Rock at WrestleMania 27 and 28, or I think it was
5:41
2728 anyway. And he was like, and I knew one
5:44
day that I was going to do this flood to tears.
5:49
I was like no way. This direction right away in the
5:54
podcast, you know, sorry Motion. No mate, it's awesome.
5:57
I love it. And and I was like, I was
5:59
sitting there crying, like we're not bawling crying, but like,
6:01
you know, you feel emotional because because knowing the fact
6:05
that how long I've done this for and knowing what it's done for
6:07
me in terms of enabling me to gain friends and, you know,
6:10
journeys and this, that and the other and great stories.
6:14
And I sat in there and this. And then he turned around and he
6:17
went, I'm the Peckham Playboy and I went through.
6:22
Then he proceeded to challenge me for my title.
6:25
So me being the hill, I get up, I'm like, I don't know how to do
6:30
this because in theory my carrots will kick you in the
6:33
face right now. But I can't do that.
6:35
I can't ruin your shit. So yeah, their their last show
6:41
was absolutely phenomenal. It was good to see these guys
6:44
get that little platform and that opportunity to perform and
6:47
get these youngsters on shows and seeing that those next guys,
6:50
the older guys get onto that. So yeah, it was next one's 15th
6:54
of November. I don't know if he's like, it's
6:56
only in house, but hopefully fingers crossed Felix gets onto
6:59
it. He's he he's pushing, he's doing
7:02
well. So with Sarah goes he wants a a
7:05
mask gimmick. So I think the next point is to
7:07
try and get a mask on that do what you want to do.
7:09
A lot of good feedback. I mean, I'm constantly getting
7:14
guys at the shows going. I think he's doing well.
7:16
Do you train him? And I'm like, no, I've had zero
7:19
input in really. I was going.
7:20
To say that no input at all, like just OK, the team is there,
7:24
it's my son I mentioned, just get involved.
7:28
Fair play. Do you know why?
7:32
Just maybe like go his make his own journey into wrestling like
7:34
you said earlier about the boss. Making his own journey and I
7:39
have faith in the people around him and the coaches around him.
7:42
As I said, those older heads that are getting on shows like
7:45
Christian and Ryan and Raymond and Will West and all these
7:48
other guys that are there at the on the on the shows coming up
7:54
and kind of like locally doing shows as well.
7:57
So they're, you know, they're gaining that experience and then
7:59
pass on to Felix and gaining that.
8:02
I mean, everything they do is, is safe as hell.
8:04
So, and to have that feedback of are you training him knows that
8:09
it's he's doing really well and he pushed from the kids class to
8:12
the adult class pretty quickly. He was doing 2.
8:15
He was doing the kids class and the adult class some weekends.
8:17
So in that sense, he's helping with the kids class some
8:20
weekends now. So which is?
8:22
It shows he wants it. Progressed mate, progressed.
8:25
But that's awesome. I do wish him good luck and
8:28
there might be tears phone again from you, but I honestly do wish
8:31
you all good luck. That'd be awesome.
8:33
Just a few more questions mate, and.
8:34
Then, mate, I'll let you rest. Your day.
8:36
No mate, don't be silly, enjoy the chat.
8:37
Honestly mate, it's been good. So I want to ask because you've
8:40
talked about his upcoming debut and other people's debuts.
8:43
Let's talk about your debut, your first ever in ring match.
8:51
My SO fun fact, my first in ring match was televised.
8:59
Really. Yeah, so back in the day they
9:02
had the wrestling Channel one. Yeah.
9:04
Cool. My first ever match.
9:07
Bear in mind, I'd been training for three months.
9:12
That was it, 3 months. I didn't have a clue if I was
9:14
going on. I didn't know.
9:15
The last thing I knew was The Rock and John Cena.
9:17
The Rock and Stone Cold. Not John Cena.
9:19
Rock and Stone Cold. That was me.
9:21
That was my generation. I'm like, and then I was like,
9:23
yes, sweet, you got a, it was a squash match, don't get me
9:26
wrong. Yeah, OK, cool.
9:27
Brilliant. The Dominator, Stu Allen.
9:31
And then I got to the venue and then we had a little
9:34
conversation. He's an Arsenal fan, isn't he?
9:38
So we had a good chat was like, so rather than it being a squash
9:41
match, it was a I'll give you a couple of bits just because
9:43
you're an Arsenal fan. And then and then you proceed to
9:47
beat the shit out of me. Televised mate on the wrestling
9:52
channel though for your debut. Can you explain the wrestling
9:55
channel for someone that is living under Rock National?
9:58
Let them off now. Off because it was a while ago.
10:00
It was a while back, it was, it was a place where they, they did
10:04
sort of play some old school wrestling and some, you know,
10:09
couple of different bits and bobs for a different generation.
10:12
But it was, it was good. It was, was what it was.
10:15
And the fact that I get got to watch myself and watch myself
10:17
from that point onwards, I was literally on there every week,
10:20
growing as a performer, growing as a wrestler.
10:23
And I, I, I kind of did my wrestling journey the old school
10:30
way, so to speak. What I mean by that is learning
10:33
on the job, wrestling those older heads, wrestling those
10:37
people that have been doing it for years, kind of probably the
10:41
position I'm in now, but maybe a bit older than me, some of these
10:44
guys, so. Who were some of these guys,
10:46
some of the older heads that you were?
10:47
John Ritchie. Yeah, yeah, I know.
10:49
Yes, I'm John Ritchie. Karl Kramer they're people that
10:54
obviously don't wrestle anymore or this, that and the other and
10:56
also this older hammerlock guys like so you have people like
11:00
John Moores. What was Johnny Love back then?
11:03
So he now he runs the Gen. pro school and all these guys that
11:06
have been doing it on the circuit, you're doing the camps
11:09
and this, that and the other. So I had them all around me and
11:11
I had the the people that were sort of with me and we were all
11:16
growing and and and achieving shit that would go around.
11:19
I got to travel, got to make so many friends, like people, like
11:23
car in a while, Pete Dunn, all these people that when they were
11:29
both all starting, we all kind of wrestled together and it was
11:33
it was it was a journey, so to speak.
11:36
That's gone man. Recently you got to wrestle
11:38
Scotty to hottie. Yeah.
11:41
Last month, mate, tell me about that wrestling legend, mate.
11:43
And you wouldn't think like because he's been around for so
11:46
long. I mean he, he was great still.
11:48
Yeah. No, he was he.
11:50
He it was, I think, I think that I cut a promo on it saying I
11:56
don't know how I feel. And that was that is generally
11:58
it like if I was like 25 or 26, I'd be like, yeah, this is
12:03
absolutely from I'm on the back end now.
12:05
So I see myself. I would have rather wrestled his
12:07
son. I would have rather helped his
12:09
son and guide this, his son for a match.
12:12
So what actually? So it was a singles match, me
12:15
versus Scotty, and my tag partner was talking about
12:20
earlier, Tyler Walker. So he he was wrestling his son.
12:25
And then what happened was it as wrestling does, Tyler and Keegan
12:34
were wrestling and I end up slipping into the ring.
12:38
Let's make this A tag team match.
12:43
And, and it was A tag team match and purposely gave everything to
12:55
Tyler. What I mean by this is I gave
13:00
him that opportunity to wrestle Scotty.
13:04
By that I mean mix it up with Scotty, have a little thing with
13:08
Scotty. I gave.
13:10
I gave him the worm. So many people would have fought
13:14
for that, wouldn't they? Just be done by the Worm in the
13:17
ring? That doesn't sound why it's
13:19
saying that. Like if you're not a wrestling
13:20
fan, but. I gave it to him because for
13:24
him, as a 23 year old lad came back, it was like, yeah, and and
13:32
that, that made me feel good, if you know what I mean.
13:36
I'm like, I'm, I mean, I've not that I've wrestled Scottish way
13:40
before, but for me, I see myself as at that back end where not
13:44
back end, but I'm, I'm giving to their next generation.
13:47
I'm helping them grow. Helping them.
13:48
Yeah, that's the only reason why I, I I decided to help Tyler
13:52
Walker kind of bits and mobs in the ring and get him to grow and
13:56
get him out elsewhere and XYZ. I mean, he doesn't need my help,
14:01
don't get me wrong, because he is a brilliant talent in a
14:03
wrestler himself. He did.
14:05
A short period of time as well and he's.
14:06
Yeah, that that's, that's the point, like, and there's a
14:08
couple of pointers that I can give him and help him and guide
14:10
him. Don't get me wrong, I'm not the
14:12
finished article, but I've been there long enough to know what
14:15
to do, when to do it, how to do it.
14:17
And that's wrestling. Yeah.
14:20
Mate, honestly. Got the knowledge there really
14:22
good really I took about an hour and a half champs Scotty right
14:27
about wrestling and about the journey of wrestling and how
14:32
it's kind of like. So he coached at WWE.
14:36
What was the wrestler at WWE? He's currently a coach at AW as
14:40
well. So he was his son.
14:44
You know, luckily his son has a name to help him guide him, so
14:48
he doesn't need to he's good, though he's done to get me
14:51
wrong. He's a really good talent and he
14:53
he isn't what we like to call him a modern wrestler.
14:57
And he because if you think of a modern wrestler, you think of
15:01
flips, spots, this, that, that, that, that, that, that, that,
15:03
that, that he's not that style. So he he gives a a different
15:07
aura and him coming over and wrestling on the British scene a
15:11
little bit more gives him that little bit different edge than
15:14
what they're doing over that way.
15:15
Definitely. So it was, it was good to, it
15:19
was good. I enjoyed it.
15:21
It was an opportunity and I was thankful, thankful for the
15:23
opportunity. But I'm quite glad it turned out
15:25
the way it did and I gave that opportunity to someone else as
15:28
well. But I had a good chat and we had
15:32
a really good conversation about wrestling as a whole and how
15:39
it's not it. It's not wet.
15:42
I don't want to sound like a old head wet.
15:44
It's not the way it should be, but not the way not not the way
15:47
it not should be. But in terms of the way of
15:50
storytelling, the way of you portraying a match, the way
15:53
you're doing things, reason for doing things, why you're doing
15:55
things, how you're doing things and how that matters.
15:59
Again, it comes to the whole step out of the curtain like no
16:01
one knows you. Yeah, OK.
16:04
I step out of the curtain. Yes.
16:06
Initially they're going to. They're not going to know who I
16:08
am. But I've been the 1st 10
16:11
seconds. They're definitely going to know
16:12
that this guy's a bell end. Move this dickhead.
16:18
But that's not through that's just the aura you give and
16:24
that's through the the attitude you take.
16:27
Like Freddy Choo Choo straight away vibes.
16:32
And then you've got the hill character who comes out really,
16:35
really angry and I can't strikes me so much.
16:38
The angry hill just sits there like I'm an angry kid booming.
16:42
But I don't. I just come out.
16:43
I literally raise my hands in the air like this and I stand
16:47
there and that's the automatic. I don't like this guy.
16:52
Fuck him. Yeah.
16:54
He thinks he's better. That's it.
16:55
That's it. You ain't even watched it.
16:57
And, you know, the vibe. It's like, yeah, so, yeah.
16:59
So. So having a good conversation
17:01
about that and how important getting the right story in this
17:07
match, in a match is, is is good.
17:09
So, yeah, it was a really good chat, to be fair, really good
17:12
chat. But I had this had the same
17:15
conversation with Tom Latimer, the N.W.A champion.
17:20
Yes, yeah. Yeah, so it used to be Bram in
17:24
TNA. Oh, with Nick elders like they.
17:27
Don't Yeah, yeah, So yes, same conversation with him.
17:30
He was like, it's just obviously this day and age, the wrestling,
17:33
it's like anything like if you think about when I came on the
17:35
scene, all those older people saying the same thing about me,
17:37
you know, is this different? But you learn and we grow.
17:40
And if you think about the Ospreys and this, that and the
17:43
other, think about Osprey 10:15 You thought 10 years ago,
17:46
whatever, he's not doing the same shit he was doing men.
17:49
He's completely the way he does stuff and he just, he's found
17:53
that that ability to tell the story in the match and the
17:57
reasons for doing stuff and the like, you do stuff.
18:00
I think him going to Japan did help in terms of like, OK, just
18:03
at the moment to sell. You know, yeah, yeah.
18:06
Get a facial in sort of, you know, show your reaction I
18:09
think. I mean I've never seen him with
18:11
porn. Just blew my mind as a fan.
18:14
But then I just, you forget some of the spots because it's just
18:17
so quick and there's so much of it and that's awesome.
18:20
But sometimes let me digest it a little bit.
18:22
Yeah, like, like like I was when I first died out.
18:27
Don't get me wrong. Four 50s, sure, it starts all
18:31
that chance I could do it all. But did they let me do it?
18:34
No. I'm like, no, you can do one one
18:37
thing, but the one thing meant a lot.
18:41
Definitely. Do you know what I mean?
18:43
I remembered that. Like I just said, I remembered
18:46
that one spot. I ain't going to remember that.
18:48
I would like a sequence. I'm going to remember the one
18:50
bit from it. And that was all it was.
18:52
You know, I hit moon saw, hit something, something a bit
18:54
flashing and oh, what? Like that?
18:56
So yeah, I kind of learned from that and just that's the way I
18:59
kind of adapted my style, really.
19:02
And you build to that move as well, fans.
19:04
Oh, something happened. This could be the finish as
19:06
opposed to ask him already doing that again, you know, just,
19:10
well, I think everyone's different.
19:11
Sometimes it does work for those talents, you know, that just
19:13
want to go million mph. My match, my last time, sorry,
19:19
my last time match against Christian Croft.
19:22
The story was a spear, and that was all it was.
19:26
It was a spear building up to his top spear building up,
19:30
building up, building up. So when he hit the move, they
19:35
knew that that was the move because we've told we've taken
19:40
them on this journey of they know it's the move, they know
19:42
it's the move, they know it's the move.
19:43
Can you hit it? It literally got to the point
19:45
that the match they were going off the top, but they knew they
19:48
wanted to see, they wanted to see that move.
19:50
And then when he hit it, they all just blew up.
19:55
And then maybe the whining vet rolled out the ring, just took a
20:01
top spin and rolled out the ring.
20:04
Can't be. Got a fun question for you.
20:07
Last question. I say there's a point.
20:09
It might be as one or two, but I know time's been limited moment
20:12
at the time recording. But this is the fun question.
20:14
This doesn't have to be about lesson either, but it doesn't
20:16
have to be about Arsenal as well.
20:19
Come on. So Well, for fuck sake's
20:20
football game. But you're the guest, mate.
20:22
So, Hazan, please let me know. 3 dream dinner guests for your
20:27
dream party. Fiction, nonfiction, Dead or
20:30
alive, past or present. It could be anyone that's gonna
20:33
be a fucking cartoon character, but three people.
20:36
Give me a reason to the 1st guest.
20:41
Go yeah, probably my favorite wrestler of all time, The Rock,
20:48
yes, purely because it would just be listening to the
20:52
stories, listening to him chat. He does come off as this quite
20:56
big persona and it, but I think you could have a decent, really
21:00
good, deep conversation with him.
21:03
And obviously that's wrestling wise and my favorite wrestler
21:06
love, you know, that's my general.
21:08
That's the generation I watched essentially back into the 2000s,
21:13
back in the 90s, early 2000s. That was my generation.
21:16
So yeah. The Rock What's your favorite
21:21
rock film? Oh.
21:23
Film. Oh no, sorry, what do?
21:25
You mean? New match.
21:30
No, just actual films that he's done.
21:32
I mean, you can squeeze a match as well.
21:33
But I'd like to ask this because everyone's got sort of a
21:35
different answer to Dwayne Johnson filmography.
21:40
Favorite movies? I like more, as I say, early
21:45
stuff. I don't know, he's just pretty
21:47
much action isn't he? So majority of movies are the
21:50
same. I like the Kevin Hart.
21:53
I love the fact that the movies with Kevin Hart, it's because
21:56
they they bounce off each other so well.
21:58
I like what's get what's that? What's the one that did?
22:01
There were two cops. Who's the cop with Samuel
22:08
Jackson? Yeah, no, no, no with Kevin
22:11
Hart. Potential intelligence.
22:13
Yes, that's the one. I enjoyed that one.
22:14
That was quite fun. But in terms of his movies,
22:16
that's not what I like him for. Obviously I like him for
22:19
wrestling. Yeah.
22:22
Rock, Rock, Hogan, WrestleMania, That was that was my favorite
22:26
match of all time. It was just a phenomenal match.
22:29
That's. A few match of it, it's when
22:31
Hogan does his first Hulk up since he's been back another way
22:34
and the fans actually are just roaring roaring and the Rocks
22:37
reaction is selling it just like what the fuck and The Rock.
22:41
And obviously Hogan knows what he's doing at this point.
22:43
Like, yeah, I. Know what I'm going to fucking
22:45
baby faces. I don't give a shit for me.
22:47
And it worked. And the Rock works his ass off
22:49
because we know Hogan's past his prime, unfortunately.
22:52
But and he's, yeah, I think he's actually injured going into the
22:54
match as well. Yeah, yeah, it was.
22:55
It was, it was, it was unreal. It was unreal.
22:57
I've actually got it tattooed on the back of my leg.
22:59
Have you in dinosaur form? So I've got 2 diners, 22T Rexes.
23:05
Yeah. One with like Tash and the hair,
23:08
one with the rock with the eyebrow and icon versus icon
23:11
written on the bottom. I see.
23:13
That was just my tribute to that match and it was my favorite
23:17
match of all time. I mean, when I posted it, it was
23:20
Sid Scala messaged me. I was like, that is my favorite.
23:22
That is my favorite title ever. It's my favorite match ever as
23:25
well. He did a little video the other
23:27
day on his training, Huckle training, just sort of just
23:32
depict in the match and sort of saying about the match we're
23:35
going back on to wrestling. But anyway, so next person.
23:38
Next person, next guest. I guess Thierry Henry again of
23:48
football wise I get, I think the GOAT, yeah, it's just the goat
23:54
having that chilled persona persona around you and having
23:57
that conversation about football.
24:00
And do you reckon, do you reckon the rocking tier real moment
24:02
have a great conversation as well?
24:05
I think they might get a bit preachy by the end of it.
24:09
I think they both want to like out quite one another.
24:12
Yeah, yeah, I think that'll be. But anyway, I think those two
24:15
because that that essentially is me in a nutshell.
24:19
Football and wrestling and family and kids and wife and,
24:23
you know, that's pretty much my life.
24:26
Football, wrestling and kids. Last but not least.
24:30
All right, sweet last person. Dave Deville.
24:35
I don't know if you know Dave Deville, but Dave.
24:37
So Dave Deville, again, as I was saying to you about a wrestler
24:41
that wrestled with me and grew with me.
24:46
So Dave Deville was probably a couple years ahead of me
24:49
wrestling wires at the same age, but he was, he had experience
24:56
prior to wrestling where I was wrestling at the time.
24:59
But see, when you like, step into a room and you just lock
25:06
eyes with someone and instantaneously you're just the
25:09
best of friends. Yeah, I don't have a moment.
25:12
Yeah. And that and that was it.
25:14
We just, we just fell in love. It was absolutely like the best.
25:20
And since that point, we've both grown as human beings.
25:24
I mean, it's been what I've known Dave Willow 15 years now,
25:29
probably can't 20. He moved from.
25:34
He used to live, actually used to live.
25:37
This was weird, really weird, because I used to take.
25:39
We used to go wrestle, do what we've got to do.
25:41
I used to take him home to Buckingham Palace nonetheless,
25:44
because he used to work for the Queen.
25:48
Yeah, I used to work. I used to work.
25:51
Yeah. He used to work as a footman for
25:53
the Queen. So he used to work in the palace
25:55
and I used to take him down. I remember one night going in
25:58
and then all of a sudden this gun being faced on my head like,
26:04
it's fine, he's with me. He may be from Peckham, but he's
26:06
definitely with me. Because I used to just have to
26:10
drop him there by the the back entrance into the into the.
26:15
I didn't, I didn't go for the, there was a back entrance that
26:18
everyone went in, not the front. They go for a front gate of
26:20
Buckingham Palace. So, yeah, in terms of it like
26:24
this break, this bond, this friendship, he was the best man
26:27
on my wedding. It was, it was a friendship that
26:31
kind of like started from the start or we, we grew together
26:34
and he moved up to like Chesterfield that sort of way
26:39
about 10 plus years ago. You know, he's always been
26:43
interested in my family. We always go up there since my
26:45
son, since Felix was little, we've been up there, my daughter
26:49
and now we've grown as a family. It's like we can't come to your
26:53
house anymore because he works in a, he works for a Manor, He
26:56
works in a Manor house down there.
26:58
So he works like a, he kind of looks after the family, so to
27:02
speak, and their staff and shit like that.
27:06
So anyway, so he, yeah, so now we've got too big.
27:10
He's just had a little kid as well and they have dogs.
27:13
I mean, his wife. So what we do is we kind of meet
27:15
in the middle somewhere. So we've kind of met around
27:18
about Norwich somewhere kind of in the middle couple hours each
27:21
that'll do rather than us drive up to 5-6 hours up to him.
27:24
So we meet in the middle. So yeah.
27:25
But Dave, as a human being, he is one of the most amazing human
27:30
beings you're. Ever going to meet he's.
27:31
So kind, so generous. And I think despite the fact
27:36
that he's a Chelsea fan, he would still pop.
27:41
He's gone out your books now. If you think about the
27:47
generation, what we grew up, the drug bars and this that and the
27:50
other like the man of banner we yeah, it was the banner we had
27:55
was unreal. But he would be that third
27:58
person 100% on love data bits and he's he's probably my
28:02
favorite human being in the world.
28:04
That's. A great answer man, no one has
28:06
said their best friend before that people say like the missus
28:09
or you know, maybe like a loved one or I think someone said
28:12
someone, the neighbor or something before, but actual
28:15
best friend we could answer mate.
28:17
And as I said, it's I can sorry, I apologize.
28:22
It's your mill. Three dreams of the guests.
28:25
Great answer to why you want them there, but I love it.
28:29
Where can listeners find you on social media so they can keep up
28:32
to date with you and your career and potentially your second
28:37
generation son, what he's got lined up as well?
28:40
Second Playboy on Facebook. Instagram is on X as well but I
28:45
don't use it. I'm too old for that.
28:47
Just to be fair. I only use Instagram and
28:50
Facebook just to I keep up with things and post my socials on
28:54
there in terms of my matches and keep in contact with wrestling
28:57
wise. So yeah, Peck and Playboy,
28:58
search me up. You find me out there.
29:01
Most socials there. Yeah, definitely.
29:05
Wicked, mate, Wicked. And why are you the Peck and
29:07
Playboy? I always get this question
29:11
because I was from pet, like growing up in old Kent Rd. my
29:15
whole life from Peckham. And it just, it just came, yeah,
29:19
I got a little bit of female attention.
29:21
And then then it just kind of like happened.
29:23
And I've kind of like it's a character at the end of the day.
29:26
It's it's a character that has grown.
29:29
And then the Captain Pen gimmick, I mean, that was added
29:33
on in the last. I like that, Monica.
29:35
I think that's pretty cool. It's, you know what?
29:39
Yeah. It was that.
29:40
So I stopped for about a year. Yeah.
29:43
They've got a new job and all that jazz as you do, and I was
29:46
sitting and I want to do it again.
29:47
I want to do it again, I want to do it again.
29:48
Anyway, then I went to London School Lutulibre and I was like,
29:51
I need to do this again. My friend Costa, who again I
29:54
don't know if you know Costa Costa's pro to progress with
29:57
Malik and this that and the other.
29:59
So he's still going again about. He wrestles, he goes down to
30:02
Burgess School as well and friends with car in a while.
30:05
But anyway, he was like calm down, calm down, calm down.
30:07
I don't know if you've ever heard of London School Lutulibre
30:10
when it was about, yeah. I remember like when it was
30:14
doing shows and stuff quite regularly, wasn't it?
30:16
It was unreal. It was absolutely unreal, like a
30:19
facility that. And Boris does it still today.
30:24
He starts off his session with music dancing, screaming on top
30:30
of your voice. And imagine going in there when
30:34
you first when you've been on the wrestling scene for 10 years
30:36
already and going in there and there's this fucking past music
30:40
going and everyone's still like like a just can only be
30:43
described as like a satanic ritual around the fire like just
30:47
he does it all the time and he's got a reason for it.
30:51
And it's you're standing in the middle of a ring in your pants.
30:57
You've got to feel comfortable in screaming and yelling and
31:01
these your peers, essentially, he does it for that reason.
31:05
Are you willing to do that or are you not?
31:07
I mean, wrestling at the end of the day is entertainment, right?
31:10
So I can have a comedy match one side and, you know, and then a
31:15
serious match the other side. If everyone done everything the
31:17
same, then it's not going to be a show, is it?
31:19
It's it's that's that's the point.
31:20
And he kind of he does this dance and this, this, this, it's
31:25
it's phenomenal. And from that point, yeah, it
31:27
was just I was sitting there going, I love Christian, Captain
31:34
Charisma. Yeah, Peng is just such a London
31:40
term. It is.
31:43
And it's such a London term. I was like Captain Peng, you're
31:47
my best mate of. All the time.
31:51
I've got yeah. So it was like has to be done.
31:54
So I added that one there. And then again, it was the
31:57
Turkish delight added on top of that.
31:59
And who's to come out with the fucking?
32:02
Who's to come out with a note inside me pants and dig inside
32:05
my pants and pull this long list of names out and then get the
32:07
person to read all the names. And so that was fun.
32:10
There's a really cool picture of me and Charles Crowley prior to
32:14
being Charles Crowley, and he's down there looking at me like
32:17
this with me, really, unless you have the notes stuck on my mouth
32:20
like that and getting him to read it.
32:22
So yeah, it was that was the century where it came from.
32:25
Sitting down at work one day. By work, I mean a train.
32:30
So I was driving a train and I was sitting there going, what's
32:33
going on? And then I was like, yeah,
32:34
that'll do. Wicked mate, wicked.
32:37
It's such a good Monica. But thank you for coming on
32:39
mate. Does mean a lot.
32:41
We were actually going to do this a bit earlier, but then on
32:44
holiday both did well. Edinburgh if you count it, but
32:47
it's like the real place there on holiday and and obviously
32:52
it's flown by. So this two-part episode.
