  holding you back? Our distraction from your goal.
• 1:29
  I don't necessarily have any distractions, but one thing I

  learned being a dad is that you just don't have enough time in
• 1:37
  the day to get everything done. Who are who, or what currently
• 1:44
  motivates or inspires you? Oh, this is the same topic.

  She was, yeah. What are you currently grade for
• 2:33

  and I'm glad to be happy. I'm grateful to still have some
• 2:41
  kind of place here in pro wrestling, even though I am
• 2:44
  injured and I'm still welcome into locker rooms with open arms
• 2:47
  and all the boys and girls in the back still treat me with the
• 2:50
  same respect I had, even though I'm not working at the moment.
• 2:53
  So I'm really grateful to have guys like you and guys like
• 2:57
  everywhere I go, just to still show me the same love and
• 3:00
  respect that I have. Yeah, where can people find and
• 3:03
  support you? So my social media handles is
• 3:07
  just mantequilla you find mantequilla MANTEQUILLAI know

• 3:34
  We'll see you on the next one. OK, thanks for watching this
• 4:07
  presentation. Like, share and subscribe for
• 4:10
  more. We are back for that bonus
• 4:20
  question. We didn't really leave, but yes.
• 4:24
  So the biggest thing I want to ask you is almost like a PPW
• 4:27
  related question. So we kind of talked about this
• 4:28
  before the show at one point in time in your career and a lot of
• 4:31
  the people you named, pretty much every one of those people
• 4:34
  you've named, you guys kind of got your start when it came from
• 4:38
  training at House of Glory, which is a beautiful promotion.
• 4:40
  I honestly, it's one of my goals of a place I would love to work
• 4:43
  at and be a part of backstage because I think everything
• 4:45
  that's being done there is so good.
• 4:47
  And I watch a lot like I watch like the backstage interviews
• 4:49
  and I'm like, man, I wish they would try this or this to up to
• 4:51
  quality or do this. But everyone who's involved is
• 4:53
  so talented there. And I, I just every every person
• 4:56
  I've ever met who trained there under red has been just gems in
• 4:59
  this business. But you guys left your train
• 5:02
  there and then kind of went on excursion and used to come down
• 5:04
  to Hazleton search for PPW and guys like you and Charles and
• 5:07
  Main Event and Evander and, and I mean, the list goes on and on
• 5:11
  and on of everybody. What is what is being a PPW?
• 5:13
  Because you're, you're, you're doing a lot of stuff and all you
• 5:15
  guys are doing a lot of stuff at PPW.
• 5:17
  And I'm sorry, at House of Glory and you're now, you're the stars
• 5:20
  of that promotion. But you're one of the guys who
• 5:22
  still come back here, who still work, who still do a lot.
• 5:24
  How important is it to you to come back to PPW of that place
• 5:27
  that kind of gave you that start as your first, one of your first
• 5:29
  promotions? It's super important to me
• 5:32
  because it's like a stomping ground.
• 5:34
  You know, I learned a lot of I got a lot of my reps as we say,
• 5:38
  or I got a lot of my experience and working with with in front
• 5:41
  of a live crowd and in front of a large crowd.
• 5:44
  And sometime with talent that is like a veteran talent OR a named
• 5:48
  talent that you know, I got a lot of that experience here.
• 5:52
  And on top of that, you know, Devin, I want to be a champion
• 5:55
  at PPW and I want to get some wins.
• 5:57
  You heard it here, Paul. You heard it here, Paul.
• 6:00
  I want to win and I know I'm going to win and I'm not only
• 6:03
  going to win in matches, but I'm also going to win the hearts of
• 6:06
  the crowd. And that is one of my big goals
• 6:09
  when I come back, when I come back to PPW, is winning the
• 6:11
  heart of the crowd the same way I have the heart of plenty other
• 6:14
  crowds and plenty of the promotions.
• 6:16
  And a big goal is to be here. And that's why this place is is
• 6:19
  so important to me because it was one of the toughest crowds
• 6:22
  to work in front of. Yeah, you know, and they, they,
• 6:25
  they know what they like. They know what they don't like.
• 6:27
  And I want to be one of these people that they like.
• 6:31
  Sometimes it's hard to get over as a gimmick in this building.
• 6:34
  And I think that the two people or three people who did it the
• 6:37
  best are are you main events? And I mean Charles, like what
• 6:41
  we've seen earlier from Charles to what we see now is light and
• 6:44
  day, which is what goes to show how talented he is because like,
• 6:48
  he completely changed everything about his character, Evander.
• 6:50
  Evander changed his entire, he was Mr. James, the guy you can
• 6:53
  trust now. I mean, now he's a teacher.
• 6:55
  Now he's this teacher and that character is getting over like
• 6:57
  crazy. Like it's just awesome.
• 6:59
  You guys are so well trained in the House of Glory.
• 7:01
  If you're not doing it, you know, subscribe to Fight TV,
• 7:03
  Thriller TV, it's really $5 a month.
• 7:06
  You get all that. Even if you're not a House of
• 7:07
  Glory person, you're like, I love GCW.
• 7:09
  Everything on GCW is on there, all their live shows.
• 7:12
  So it's Charlie. And then and then ROH is, I mean
• 7:15
  ROH, it should be hard. It is the new ROH.
• 7:17
  He means House of glory. House of Glory is essentially
• 7:20
  has filled that goal, that gap for people of people who miss
• 7:23
  our old oh, and I think House of Glory is going to be the ROH
• 7:27
  feeder to a lot of things you're going to see on TV very, very
• 7:30
  soon. And these guys are the catalysts
• 7:32
  of that. Thank you.
• 7:33
  We'll see you next time. Maybe J5 questions?
• 7:37
  There's a. Lot of.
