- 1:07Speaker 1: First of all, Dominic, I'm not gonna lie to you.
- 1:08Speaker 1: I get to keep it a buck with you cause
- 1:09Speaker 1: my son, me and my I mean, I'm a diehard
- 1:11Speaker 1: wrestling fan. I've watched everything like a lot.
- 1:16Speaker 4: I love the shirt by the way, thank you you
- 1:17Speaker 4: I got the shirt.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean, dirty dumb show the
- 1:20Speaker 1: back back back with you on it, you know, the Nuggies.
- 1:25Speaker 1: But dude, I I was like not a big fan
- 1:28Speaker 1: of you as like a character. And then you had
- 1:30Speaker 1: like your NXT run and I respected that, and then
- 1:33Speaker 1: just the whole Judgment Day run, I feel like you
- 1:35Speaker 1: guys took like I know that everybody was like, you know,
- 1:39Speaker 1: bloodline was the biggest thing moving. But I I have
- 1:42Speaker 1: just loved everything that's been happening with Judgment Day over
- 1:44Speaker 1: the last couple of years, and I love how it's
- 1:47Speaker 1: all kind of like melted. But for you, man, like,
- 1:51Speaker 1: can you talk about just like how dope it's been
- 1:54Speaker 1: to just see like the evolution of the Judgment Day
- 1:56Speaker 1: storyline and where it's kind of ended up now with
- 2:00Speaker 1: everybody kind of you know, bad blood was dope, Like, Like,
- 2:02Speaker 1: how do you feel about just kind of the last
- 2:04Speaker 1: couple of years.
- 2:04Speaker 4: Man, Honestly, it's it's been a hell of a ride.
- 2:07Speaker 1: You know.
- 2:08Speaker 4: Judgment Day was definitely a life changing for me. As
- 2:12Speaker 4: far as like what I learned with everyone, and yeah,
- 2:18Speaker 4: just hanging around everyone. But yeah, we definitely had some
- 2:22Speaker 4: dead weight that we had to get rid of. And
- 2:24Speaker 4: now that that's taking care of, I feel like we're
- 2:27Speaker 4: the best we've ever been. You know. It's like with
- 2:31Speaker 4: the addition of you know, Raquel and Carlito. It's honestly,
- 2:36Speaker 4: I feel like we're at the best state of the
- 2:38Speaker 4: Judgment day we possibly can be.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Interesting dead weight huh yeah, dead for you live? Is
- 2:44Speaker 1: it very like? Because I feel like your arch nemphsis
- 2:48Speaker 1: is Rhea and she's I mean, you're super over, but
- 2:51Speaker 1: she's like throw the moon over. Does that bother you? No?
- 2:55Speaker 2: Because I think she's losing. I think all her fans
- 2:57Speaker 2: are losers.
- 2:58Speaker 3: So I don't care that she's over with her supporters
- 3:01Speaker 3: because I think they're all ugly and they're all losers
- 3:03Speaker 3: and they're all pathetic, just like graver bleis.
- 3:05Speaker 2: So I don't care at all.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Interesting, Okay, I second that fair enough? Yo, Dominic. You
- 3:13Speaker 1: were were you at the Hall of Fame when Paul
- 3:16Speaker 1: Hayman did his speech? I was not. You weren't there.
- 3:19Speaker 1: I was not.
- 3:20Speaker 4: I was not invited.
- 3:21Speaker 1: You weren't invited. No, you weren't there. Were you there
- 3:24Speaker 1: to live?
- 3:24Speaker 2: I was there.
- 3:25Speaker 1: I'm curious because I was there too, and it was
- 3:29Speaker 1: one of the most epic Like why I remember that
- 3:33Speaker 1: night there was another wrestling thing going on in town
- 3:35Speaker 1: in Philly, and me and my son were like, but
- 3:38Speaker 1: it's Hayman, dude, like we gotta go see, like we
- 3:41Speaker 1: just gotta go, like and like I remember, so we
- 3:43Speaker 1: left before the rock came out because I was it
- 3:46Speaker 1: was late. I don't know. I mean, I don't you
- 3:47Speaker 1: guys remember, because I think it was after it was
- 3:48Speaker 1: after SmackDown, right, yeah, so it just was late. So
- 3:51Speaker 1: like as soon as Hayman did his sake, I was like,
- 3:52Speaker 1: all right, dudelet's go to sleep. We got a long
- 3:54Speaker 1: data on.
- 3:54Speaker 4: Hayman opened up, right, I don't remember.
- 3:57Speaker 2: I believe he did. It was it was we.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Got a bad there though. After all I said, we
- 4:01Speaker 1: came up, we saw, we like what we needed to see.
- 4:04Speaker 1: But like, how cool was that for you? Seeing that live?
- 4:06Speaker 1: Because like live, I love it, like.
- 4:09Speaker 3: You know, you can't take back live and he just
- 4:12Speaker 3: said what he wanted to say, and it's kind of like,
- 4:15Speaker 3: you know, it's iconic to see, but then also like
- 4:18Speaker 3: you're like, damn.
- 4:19Speaker 2: I wish I could just he just want to say
- 4:22Speaker 2: he really.
- 4:23Speaker 3: Went for it, you know, and so it was it
- 4:24Speaker 3: was it was it was cool to see, and it
- 4:26Speaker 3: was funny and it was entertaining and it was just like, so,
- 4:29Speaker 3: Paul Hayman, it couldn't have been better.
- 4:32Speaker 1: How dope? You think it's going to be uh NXT
- 4:35Speaker 1: doing a live event at the ECW Arena in Philly.
- 4:38Speaker 4: It's gonna be awesome.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:39Speaker 2: I think they sold out too.
- 4:41Speaker 1: It's gonna mean yeah, yeah, I just think like that's
- 4:43Speaker 1: got to be, like the energy in there is going
- 4:46Speaker 1: to be crazy, especially if they get him to roll
- 4:47Speaker 1: out with the jacket and the hat.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got it. It's gonna be something one.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Hundred who has been like for each one of you
- 4:54Speaker 1: guys obviously answered this separately, but you know, you always
- 4:57Speaker 1: hear about like whether it's Triple H or Paul Hayman
- 4:59Speaker 1: behind the scenes, or certain guys who are like you know,
- 5:01Speaker 1: obviously you've got your dad, who you know, for better
- 5:04Speaker 1: or worse, probably guided you through earlier parts of your career,
- 5:07Speaker 1: but who's been kind of like some ogs in the
- 5:10Speaker 1: locker room that embraced each of you guys early on,
- 5:12Speaker 1: and that you know you you would consider.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Mentors as far as like my peers.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Or just like you know, like when you first came in,
- 5:20Speaker 1: like was there like a someone who had been around
- 5:22Speaker 1: for a while, that had like kind of put their
- 5:24Speaker 1: arm around you, showed you the ropes.
- 5:29Speaker 3: When I first started, like no, really, I shall no, no,
- 5:34Speaker 3: But after you know, getting to know some of the girls,
- 5:37Speaker 3: and I feel like Bailey has always been grey, Nadi
- 5:41Speaker 3: has always been grey. Michael Hayes has always been great
- 5:46Speaker 3: and teaching me things, Pauhamon has always been great, and
- 5:48Speaker 3: so a lot of I mean, there's so many people
- 5:51Speaker 3: to think because it's there's there's so many coaches, and
- 5:54Speaker 3: I feel like you can learn from anyone, right and
- 5:57Speaker 3: so but those are I guess just some of the
- 5:59Speaker 3: people that I think of our Like what.
- 6:00Speaker 4: About your dominique, you know, I think it's it's definitely
- 6:04Speaker 4: changed as my career is, you know, evolved, But in
- 6:09Speaker 4: the moment top of my mind that I can think of,
- 6:14Speaker 4: Randy's always been there. Yeah, as far as like texting me,
- 6:18Speaker 4: even when he was before he came back, he'd always
- 6:21Speaker 4: text me. I remember when I turned on my dad.
- 6:23Speaker 4: He was one of the first people to text me like, like,
- 6:26Speaker 4: enjoy the ride, kid.
- 6:27Speaker 1: You know what I don't understand too, is like like
- 6:28Speaker 1: people forget like how like he's one of the greatest
- 6:32Speaker 1: heels of all time when he's like peak heel Randy,
- 6:35Speaker 1: Like it's crazy. Was there anybody you kind of took
- 6:38Speaker 1: from because you had like a sharp heel turn and
- 6:40Speaker 1: it was like like you go against your dad, like
- 6:44Speaker 1: like and your mom and your sister. I mean it
- 6:46Speaker 1: was it was lit Like it was incredible. And then
- 6:49Speaker 1: that rolling into the momentum of the judgment day, who
- 6:53Speaker 1: were you kind of grabbing from, like influence wise in
- 6:55Speaker 1: terms of like just like leaning into being dirty Dawn, A.
- 6:59Speaker 4: Lot of nine ran late w cw Eddie, uh, just
- 7:05Speaker 4: Dean Malenko out to Malink, Yeah, Jericho, just a lot
- 7:09Speaker 4: of those old school guys, just the way they would
- 7:13Speaker 4: just work and be gritty. But definitely, honestly, I'd spent
- 7:17Speaker 4: my time just watching Eddie and Art bar m m, yeah,
- 7:21Speaker 4: both of them together, just the way that they would
- 7:23Speaker 4: just disrespect their opponents, you know, after they're laying He
- 7:27Speaker 4: gave up pot Driver and ar bar is just slapping
- 7:29Speaker 4: the hell out of someone because he's just can you
- 7:32Speaker 4: know stuff like that that was just buried in.
- 7:36Speaker 1: WrestleMania. Tickets are on sale Friday for the public. You
- 7:39Speaker 1: could get him Allegiant Stadium. It's going to be a movie. Uh,
- 7:43Speaker 1: there's obviously we don't know what the card is gonna be.
- 7:46Speaker 1: There's a I mean, there's a few things that I
- 7:48Speaker 1: think the fans are kind of I think you guys
- 7:51Speaker 1: are obviously gonna be involved because it's two days again.
- 7:53Speaker 3: So WrestleMania Ye Vega Dominic Champions, the most iconic couple
- 7:59Speaker 3: in w history.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Are you guys excited uh to have it here in Vegas? Yeah?
- 8:03Speaker 4: Yeah, most definitely.
- 8:05Speaker 1: It's gonna be crazy like Vegue. I mean, I mean,
- 8:07Speaker 1: you know cause it's like I've been to like a
- 8:10Speaker 1: like MANI and I've been like hanging out at the
- 8:11Speaker 1: bar at like the Hilton or wherever you guys are
- 8:13Speaker 1: usually at because I got some of the friends you
- 8:15Speaker 1: know that wrestling and uh, but I'm just thinking like
- 8:18Speaker 1: what is that, Like, what's the hotel going to be
- 8:20Speaker 1: like at like Vegas at midnight?
- 8:23Speaker 2: In Vegas, I'm Jim Graham, you know what I mean crazy.
- 8:26Speaker 4: I don't think we're gonna depending on how the night goes,
- 8:29Speaker 4: which mostly will end up pretty well for us.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Now we're going to be great.
- 8:33Speaker 4: Yeah, well we'll definitely won't be at a hotel. We'll
- 8:36Speaker 4: probably be out and about celebrating. You definitely have Like
- 8:40Speaker 4: we're in Vegas.
- 8:41Speaker 1: You guys should go to the Spearmitt Ryan. It's a
- 8:43Speaker 1: good place out here. What is that it's a strip club.
- 8:45Speaker 1: It's a good place. Yeah. Yeah. They got great chicken nuggets. Actually,
- 8:49Speaker 1: they got great chicken wings. They really do. It's the best.
- 8:52Speaker 4: Interesting.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I think Mania is going to be crazy in.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Vegas and maybe WrestleMania Energy and Las Vegas Energy combined,
- 8:58Speaker 3: it's gonna be crazy.
- 8:59Speaker 1: I got a question, just pure speculation. There was this
- 9:02Speaker 1: like story that came out that The Rock was going
- 9:05Speaker 1: to be too busy to be at Mania. The Final
- 9:07Speaker 1: Boss just popped out on TV. He replied to one
- 9:10Speaker 1: of those comments online and said that this is a
- 9:12Speaker 1: bullshit story. If you guys had to predict, Like, what's
- 9:16Speaker 1: what's your head telling you? Do you think? Do you
- 9:18Speaker 1: think the Final Boss will be at Mania?
- 9:20Speaker 4: Like if you had if you were betting, you know,
- 9:22Speaker 4: my honest opinion, your honest opinions. I could care less.
- 9:28Speaker 1: That's fair, that is fair. We don't care.
- 9:32Speaker 2: We care about what we've got going on.
- 9:34Speaker 1: No, I get it, I get it. Yeah, you guys
- 9:35Speaker 1: got your own family issues to work out. For sure.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Issues.
- 9:39Speaker 4: There's no issues. Today is a family and there's no.
- 9:43Speaker 1: I mean, you know there's I mean there's been a
- 9:45Speaker 1: nice breakup between I mean, Priest is gone, is gone.
- 9:50Speaker 1: He was a former leader who was Damian Priest there
- 9:56Speaker 1: right right, right, right, right right right. How cool has
- 9:58Speaker 1: it been? I feel like Finn Balor is one of
- 10:02Speaker 1: the most talented guys in the ring there is, and
- 10:06Speaker 1: I feel like Judgment Day kind of pushed him in
- 10:09Speaker 1: a way that the fans hasn't haven't really seen him
- 10:11Speaker 1: in terms of like he was always this like mysterious guy,
- 10:13Speaker 1: Like he'd come out with that crazy ass like entrance,
- 10:15Speaker 1: which was amazing if you saw it at n XT
- 10:18Speaker 1: back in the day, it was crazy. But I feel
- 10:21Speaker 1: like he's he had to turn on like the personality
- 10:23Speaker 1: side with what's going on with the Judgment Dan, we
- 10:25Speaker 1: got to see that side of him. How cool has
- 10:27Speaker 1: it been to just work closely with Finn who is
- 10:30Speaker 1: technically like one of the greatest to do it, like
- 10:32Speaker 1: he's a base man.
- 10:33Speaker 4: I mean, it's honestly been so fun just being able
- 10:37Speaker 4: to pick his brain and being in matches with him
- 10:40Speaker 4: and him guiding me through certain things and just like
- 10:43Speaker 4: put seeing how he puts things together.
- 10:45Speaker 1: It's it.
- 10:47Speaker 4: It shows why he's one of the greatest of all time,
- 10:50Speaker 4: especially like in ring wise and like he's he's the man.
- 10:54Speaker 4: You know. I first met him in twenty seventeen. Yeah,
- 10:57Speaker 4: and ever since then he's kind of like been my
- 10:59Speaker 4: stepdad nice and it's it's.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Worked out or your actual dad, because your actual dad's
- 11:04Speaker 1: not really you know you guys, aren't you know dad?
- 11:07Speaker 1: You know, hey Eddie Eddie. Yeah. But I just like,
- 11:12Speaker 1: just from like a the fact that you and your
- 11:15Speaker 1: former dad show up the places at the same time
- 11:18Speaker 1: but don't sit together if it's not wrestling related. I
- 11:21Speaker 1: respect the hell out of it.
- 11:22Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I don't.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Why would you sit with him?
- 11:24Speaker 4: Yeah? I don't spend time with them outside of work.
- 11:27Speaker 4: Even in work, I don't. I try to avoid him,
- 11:30Speaker 4: so I'm going to enjoy my time. Why would I
- 11:32Speaker 4: want to sit with someone who would ruin my time.
- 11:36Speaker 1: You grew up in the San Diego area, Is this correct? Correct?
- 11:40Speaker 1: How do you feel about the Dodgers taking out your
- 11:43Speaker 1: padres man? That was that was hurtful? Huh? Yankees in
- 11:47Speaker 1: four Yankees in four. We're in Vegas, now Vegas. We
- 11:50Speaker 1: do have a Tacos El Gordo, which is also in
- 11:53Speaker 1: San Diego. It's obviously to you. I always say, I rank.
- 11:58Speaker 1: I live in l A. I used to live here
- 11:59Speaker 1: in Vegas. I'm from Phoenix, so I've had a ton
- 12:03Speaker 1: of great Mexican food. But I would say San Diego
- 12:05Speaker 1: has by far the best Mexican food in the United States.
- 12:09Speaker 1: I don't even think it's like a discussion.
- 12:11Speaker 2: Okay, nice, save yourself, you know, by.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Far, I don't even think like like, I don't even
- 12:17Speaker 1: like people people who say otherwise haven't been to San
- 12:19Speaker 1: Diego period.
- 12:21Speaker 4: You get it because people from La fight me on
- 12:23Speaker 4: this all the time. The best Mexic food.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Shut the I live in l A.
- 12:27Speaker 4: Yet, Yeah, how how is your Mexican food better when
- 12:30Speaker 4: you're two and a half three hours away?
- 12:31Speaker 1: I would say it's proximity, man, it's proximity.
- 12:34Speaker 4: Where I every weekend, I would take ten minutes to
- 12:38Speaker 4: get across the border to go see my family, Like
- 12:41Speaker 4: it's it's do.
- 12:43Speaker 1: You still like go to Tijuana like often to go
- 12:45Speaker 1: visit family and.
- 12:46Speaker 4: Heavy now and then when I'm in San Diego, Yeah, yeah, family.
- 12:49Speaker 1: That that's where the best food is. Seafood the mauricecos
- 12:53Speaker 1: in TJ or port Porto, it's the best. I would
- 12:59Speaker 1: tell what people I said, Look, if you go to Mexico,
- 13:02Speaker 1: just if you live in La it's worth just to eat. Yeah,
- 13:05Speaker 1: just go across the border, get fat, get your pharmaceuticals,
- 13:09Speaker 1: you know, get you a z pac. You know what
- 13:11Speaker 1: I'm saying, come back home all the goods man for
- 13:15Speaker 1: you guys. Like h Now that you guys have each
- 13:18Speaker 1: had like WrestleMania moments, like is it is it? Like
- 13:23Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like when you when you're a
- 13:25Speaker 1: wrestling fan, you always hear about WrestleMania moments and everybody
- 13:28Speaker 1: having their moment? Is that kind of like would you
- 13:31Speaker 1: guys equate that to like, you know, uh, feeling like
- 13:34Speaker 1: maybe you want a championship in basketball or or you know,
- 13:39Speaker 1: I feel like that's like is that kind of like
- 13:41Speaker 1: a fair equivalence in terms of the wrestling world, Like
- 13:44Speaker 1: just having that moment on the biggest stage.
- 13:46Speaker 2: I think that's always like the goal.
- 13:48Speaker 3: Yes, you know, have an amazing win on the grander
- 13:52Speaker 3: stage of them all, WrestleMania. I don't think I find
- 13:54Speaker 3: my WrestleMania money yet. Moment.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'm gonna that's gonna be this year. I'm
- 13:58Speaker 2: gonna have a Wrestlemanium moment this year.
- 14:00Speaker 3: But I feel like there's certain things, as like a
- 14:01Speaker 3: w superstar that like are like the pinnacle of like ooh,
- 14:05Speaker 3: I'm like doing it, you know, like action figure, video
- 14:08Speaker 3: game Championship, Yeah, WrestleMania.
- 14:10Speaker 1: I feel like the Action figure for sure, like if
- 14:12Speaker 1: you can go to Walmart and buy yourself or.
- 14:14Speaker 2: Like a video game where you sick or the video game.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Video game is cool, but the toy like they got
- 14:20Speaker 1: like patches where you could be anybody in the video
- 14:21Speaker 1: game at this point. Like I don't know if you
- 14:23Speaker 1: guys have seen some of these like these like hacks
- 14:25Speaker 1: on WW two K the cause they got like Drake
- 14:28Speaker 1: and Kendrick wrestling like they do, I swear, but no,
- 14:32Speaker 1: it's you know, I just think the you know, with
- 14:34Speaker 1: WrestleMania coming to Vegas, I know you guys are each
- 14:36Speaker 1: going to be involved. So, like you said, you feel
- 14:39Speaker 1: like you have your moment hasn't happened.
- 14:40Speaker 2: Yet, have my moment this year?
- 14:41Speaker 1: What was it like for you guys, like, you know,
- 14:45Speaker 1: because I always feel like NXT is has kind of
- 14:50Speaker 1: changed wrestling because I feel like, you know, one, we
- 14:52Speaker 1: got a third show, right, but two, there's like a
- 14:55Speaker 1: real place to develop talent and there's a real place
- 14:59Speaker 1: like to like I almost feel like I'm a music guy.
- 15:02Speaker 1: So like back in the day, we used to be
- 15:03Speaker 1: able to just like discover rappers on the in the
- 15:05Speaker 1: blog air of hip hop and stuff, and I feel
- 15:07Speaker 1: like NXT is kind of that that and for each
- 15:10Speaker 1: of you guys, what is NXT meant to your guys' careers?
- 15:15Speaker 3: Well, NXT was very different when I started than what
- 15:19Speaker 3: it is right now. It's grown and progressed. You just
- 15:21Speaker 3: started its own thing twenty fourteen.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yah, that's crazy.
- 15:25Speaker 3: So I was.
- 15:26Speaker 1: I lived in Tampa at the time and.
- 15:27Speaker 2: The performance and I think opened like a year which
- 15:29Speaker 2: was in Orlando.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Yeah, and so like I got to see like the
- 15:32Speaker 1: random like Lakeland shows where like Kevin Owens or Finn
- 15:35Speaker 1: would come out.
- 15:36Speaker 2: But I think that'd been on Hulu. Yeah, it was
- 15:40Speaker 2: very much developmental and.
- 15:42Speaker 1: It was super It was kind of underground.
- 15:43Speaker 3: It was underground, Yeah, like you didn't really know about
- 15:46Speaker 3: it unless you were watching on Hulu, you know, And so.
- 15:50Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 15:51Speaker 3: NXT is like always home for me. It's where I
- 15:52Speaker 3: took my first bump. It's where I learned everything that
- 15:55Speaker 3: I know. And so a different relationship than maybe some
- 16:01Speaker 3: people have with it NAPS because of how it's blown
- 16:03Speaker 3: up and now it's it's evolve mental, but it's really
- 16:05Speaker 3: its own.
- 16:06Speaker 2: It's its own show now.
- 16:07Speaker 1: So one hundred percent. What about you, man, because like
- 16:09Speaker 1: you kind of you've had it. You had a cool
- 16:10Speaker 1: run in NXT.
- 16:11Speaker 4: Yeah, my my relationship with NXT is very different than
- 16:13Speaker 4: everyone else. I kind of skipped it right and then
- 16:18Speaker 4: went back and then went back. Yeah, then one took
- 16:20Speaker 4: over n x T. Yeah, so it definitely holds a
- 16:24Speaker 4: special place in my heart, you know.
- 16:25Speaker 1: And it's like Sean Michael's like back there, like running
- 16:28Speaker 1: running shit, Like I.
- 16:30Speaker 4: Mean I saw Sean there, yeah, but I as far
- 16:36Speaker 4: as like backstage stuff, I wasn't really involved.
- 16:38Speaker 1: I just saw him like Sean's the guy he's got
- 16:41Speaker 1: headphones on and stuff.
- 16:42Speaker 4: He's the man. But yeah, I definitely I love n XT.
- 16:45Speaker 4: In my time there was was very special. They they
- 16:49Speaker 4: welcomed me with open arms, you know, Sean and the
- 16:51Speaker 4: rest of the crew, and honestly it was it was
- 16:54Speaker 4: really cool to be able to just go down there
- 16:56Speaker 4: because I always felt some type of way of not
- 16:59Speaker 4: going through it. Yeah, and then like not in a
- 17:02Speaker 4: bad way. I was always kind of like, well, you know,
- 17:05Speaker 4: I'm here, Yeah, this is what it is. But then
- 17:08Speaker 4: like going back and doing it completely different than everyone
- 17:11Speaker 4: else because everyone starts there.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Your process was different.
- 17:13Speaker 4: Yeah, so I started differently and then went back to it. Now.
- 17:16Speaker 1: That's dope. How are you guys feeling? I feel like
- 17:20Speaker 1: things have been so on point, Like some of these
- 17:22Speaker 1: vignettes said have been getting produced have just been I mean,
- 17:28Speaker 1: I just think about some of the bad Blood stuff
- 17:29Speaker 1: with like Metro booming and Cody and Triple H, and
- 17:33Speaker 1: then like the stuff on the football field roaming, and
- 17:35Speaker 1: I mean this is just next level productive. I mean
- 17:39Speaker 1: just next level storytelling happening on all fronts. And I
- 17:43Speaker 1: think you could attribute a lot to that to this
- 17:44Speaker 1: kind of being like the Triple H era, right, like,
- 17:47Speaker 1: how has it been like being involved You guys have
- 17:50Speaker 1: seen different eras of the business, but with Paul running
- 17:53Speaker 1: things and I mean doing such an amazing job, Like,
- 17:57Speaker 1: what's it been like during the New era?
- 18:01Speaker 3: I think it's been you know, ww, it always is growing,
- 18:04Speaker 3: it's always evolving, It's always kind of like at the
- 18:07Speaker 3: cutting edge of entertainment. And I feel like this new
- 18:11Speaker 3: chapter has been just kind of like create, Like it's
- 18:16Speaker 3: been like creatively a lot of creative freedom.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of do what you want to do
- 18:25Speaker 2: and like look how you want to look and say
- 18:26Speaker 2: what you want to say. Yeah, it's just kind of
- 18:28Speaker 2: more freedom.
- 18:30Speaker 1: I also feel like, you know, like the when he
- 18:33Speaker 1: was running n XT, you would see like the kind
- 18:34Speaker 1: of people who would like get brought up. Like I
- 18:36Speaker 1: feel like, you know, back in the day, you had
- 18:38Speaker 1: to look a certain way to be like one of
- 18:40Speaker 1: the main guys. You know what I'm saying. You had
- 18:42Speaker 1: to be jacked and you know, look like John Cena essentially,
- 18:45Speaker 1: you know. But then like guys like Daniel Bryan would
- 18:47Speaker 1: come through or Finn or you know, or even even
- 18:50Speaker 1: Kevin Owens. So I just think I think it's been dope,
- 18:52Speaker 1: like white.
- 18:52Speaker 2: It's a cool evolvement, you know.
- 18:53Speaker 1: One hundred percent. Do you guys play uh, like, do
- 18:56Speaker 1: you guys play too? Like two k A lot? Like
- 18:58Speaker 1: ww twok, Like do you get like I would be
- 19:01Speaker 1: fucking ship up on there all the time?
- 19:02Speaker 2: I only play myself.
- 19:03Speaker 1: That's obviously me too. Do you guys get stressed out?
- 19:06Speaker 1: Like do you wrestle like Riha in there and like
- 19:08Speaker 1: put it on like super easy and you just beat
- 19:10Speaker 1: the hell out of her and drag her around the ring.
- 19:12Speaker 2: Oh I need to put her on super easy to
- 19:14Speaker 2: do that.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Listen. Rian is very talented.
- 19:18Speaker 2: Yeah, mm hmm, okay, anything else?
- 19:21Speaker 1: Oh? Fair enough?
- 19:23Speaker 4: Uh?
- 19:25Speaker 2: Did you want to like leave her a message? I
- 19:28Speaker 2: I want to do you want to confessor love to her?
- 19:30Speaker 3: Give This is your opportunity because you know she's watching,
- 19:32Speaker 3: because she's obsessed with me and Dominik.
- 19:34Speaker 2: So this is shoot your shot.
- 19:35Speaker 1: She is obsessed.
- 19:36Speaker 4: Yeah, you'll probably watch Loser.
- 19:38Speaker 1: She is probably watch this and cry. Yeah, Oh she
- 19:42Speaker 1: is obsessed. That's a fair point, yo. So WrestleMania is
- 19:45Speaker 1: going to be the nineteenth and twentieth WrestleMania four twenty
- 19:49Speaker 1: in Vegas where weed is legal. Just like to point
- 19:53Speaker 1: that out. I'm going to be what are you looking
- 19:54Speaker 1: at me for? I'm going to be high as hell
- 19:58Speaker 1: at WrestleMania with my son. That's would you say Sunday
- 20:02Speaker 1: and it's a Sunday. Oh, I'm gonna be betting on football,
- 20:05Speaker 1: so I'm gonna have a bunch of tickets in my pocket.
- 20:07Speaker 1: I'm gonna be i'na be off that good good and
- 20:10Speaker 1: I'll be watching wrestling today. It's gonna be a great time.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Is there anything for you guys, like you know, for
- 20:17Speaker 1: for anybody who is listening in Vegas who hasn't experienced WrestleMania.
- 20:21Speaker 1: I always say it is like the biggest spectacle there is.
- 20:25Speaker 1: I think it's like in my opinion, like, uh, it's
- 20:29Speaker 1: it's the one event I look forward to every year
- 20:31Speaker 1: more than the super Bowl, more than anything. And I
- 20:34Speaker 1: think the way it's even the last couple of years,
- 20:36Speaker 1: like how it's like each day feels like I think
- 20:39Speaker 1: it's a five match per day. Like I feel like
- 20:41Speaker 1: this is the new thing where there's like five matches
- 20:42Speaker 1: on pay per views.
- 20:43Speaker 3: It's hard to have like an eight hour show and
- 20:47Speaker 3: it's happened and entertains it's happening.
- 20:49Speaker 1: Trust me. Yes, I've been to those shows. I'm like, oh,
- 20:53Speaker 1: we got to get Do you like this?
- 20:54Speaker 2: Do you like the two nights better?
- 20:55Speaker 1: I do? I definitely do. But what what can like
- 20:58Speaker 1: for people who haven't been to WrestleMania who are kind
- 20:59Speaker 1: of like maybe listen, maybe they're like generic fans that
- 21:02Speaker 1: kind of understand a little bit what's going on? What
- 21:04Speaker 1: are they missing if they don't come to WrestleMania.
- 21:06Speaker 3: Well, we say a lot like WrestleMania is like our
- 21:09Speaker 3: version of the super Bowl. Right, It's by far the biggest,
- 21:12Speaker 3: grandest spectacle that we put on all year. So I
- 21:16Speaker 3: mean lights, piros, special guests, incredible matches, and in Las
- 21:23Speaker 3: Vegas too.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that's going to be insane.
- 21:26Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be crazy. What about you?
- 21:28Speaker 4: Honestly, I think this is going to be the biggest
- 21:30Speaker 4: WrestleMania we've ever had, just because we feel like we
- 21:34Speaker 4: have to top last year's I.
- 21:36Speaker 1: Mean, Phil, I mean dude, Philly was quite possibly the
- 21:39Speaker 1: greatest ever that's song until in order to top that,
- 21:42Speaker 1: we have to do something better this year, which, like
- 21:45Speaker 1: I said, I think this WrestleMania is going to be
- 21:47Speaker 1: the best WrestleMania we've ever had, was there, like for
- 21:49Speaker 1: you Dominic, being so close to the business as a kid.
- 21:52Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many in here since so five,
- 21:55Speaker 1: But I'm saying, like, for you, was there a WrestleMania
- 21:58Speaker 1: moment that you remember being around as a kid that
- 22:00Speaker 1: you just like that sticks out. Maybe that doesn't even
- 22:02Speaker 1: have to involve your dad per se, but just like
- 22:04Speaker 1: anything that you miss.
- 22:07Speaker 4: Yeah, and it does involve my dead beat, it involves
- 22:11Speaker 4: both my dad's actually WRESTLINGA twenty one when it goes Hollywood, yep.
- 22:16Speaker 4: I remember it was just a mess of getting people inside,
- 22:20Speaker 4: and Eddie and uh Ray were the first match, and
- 22:24Speaker 4: we were with Eddie's family as well and everything. Your family, Yeah,
- 22:28Speaker 4: we were, you know, I was there with my family
- 22:30Speaker 4: as well, and like it was just like a mess
- 22:33Speaker 4: to get us in and it was impossible. But as
- 22:36Speaker 4: soon as the bell rang, somehow, some way, like we
- 22:40Speaker 4: managed to make it all the way through the stadium
- 22:42Speaker 4: with elevators and like into where we were supposed to
- 22:44Speaker 4: get to, and like as soon as they locked up,
- 22:46Speaker 4: we were like walking in.
- 22:47Speaker 1: You walked in, saw it like perfect timing.
- 22:49Speaker 4: And I just remember that like very vividly, like walking
- 22:52Speaker 4: in everyone as a family, like just going and seeing like.
- 22:55Speaker 1: Them opening up the show. Yeah, that's amazing.
- 22:57Speaker 4: I mean we missed their entrances, but like the bell
- 23:00Speaker 4: rang and they like locked up for the first time.
- 23:02Speaker 4: That's what we got to see when we like walked in.
- 23:04Speaker 1: Yo, we're obviously a hip hop station. Your dad is
- 23:08Speaker 1: cool with Hella rappers. I'm assuming you've been around a
- 23:10Speaker 1: bunch of those guys as a kid, Like, was there
- 23:12Speaker 1: any like artists that you were able to hang out
- 23:14Speaker 1: with as a kid that you were like, Yo, this
- 23:15Speaker 1: is kind of crazy. Snoop Dog's around. I mean, obviously
- 23:17Speaker 1: you guys probably met Snoop a ton now because he's
- 23:19Speaker 1: every so many.
- 23:20Speaker 4: That too, I remember, which gets me very upset. I
- 23:24Speaker 4: was like maybe thirteen, fourteen years old. We went to
- 23:28Speaker 4: my dad was like, hey, you want to go meet Snoop,
- 23:30Speaker 4: the bad, fucking, terrible dad that he is. We go,
- 23:34Speaker 4: we go to go meet Snoop and Snoop's on his
- 23:36Speaker 4: bus and my dad goes, hey, you can't come in,
- 23:39Speaker 4: And I was like why not? And he's like, You're
- 23:42Speaker 4: just gonna have to wait here, So he goes in.
- 23:44Speaker 1: He left you outside of them.
- 23:45Speaker 4: I stood out there for maybe like ten fifteen minutes. Yeah,
- 23:49Speaker 4: just waiting for him, and then he walks out. He goes,
- 23:51Speaker 4: We're gonna have to see him another time.
- 23:52Speaker 1: What I mean, I think you can understand why. Yeah,
- 23:55Speaker 1: you would have got a contact tie. You would have
- 23:57Speaker 1: walked into a smoky bus.
- 23:58Speaker 4: I was fourteen.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Would have been fine, he would have been fine. He
- 24:02Speaker 1: deprived that movie.
- 24:03Speaker 4: Yeah, that was my That was my one time to like,
- 24:06Speaker 4: you know, actually, and I've met Snoop before.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, I mean he's at every WrestleMania.
- 24:10Speaker 4: That was the time to meet him.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Yeah, you know he took that away from me. Hey,
- 24:16Speaker 1: how cool has it been for you guys? I want
- 24:18Speaker 1: to know your guys is uh, if you guys can
- 24:20Speaker 1: tell me what you know. I people hate Logan Paul.
- 24:24Speaker 1: He's a great heel, but somehow he has kind of
- 24:27Speaker 1: like walked into being like a freakish athlete and like
- 24:30Speaker 1: he's had some pretty crazy spots for somebody who's like
- 24:33Speaker 1: a newbie. Uh, is like, like, what do you guys
- 24:37Speaker 1: feel about Logan Paul? And just like kind of his
- 24:39Speaker 1: place in the WWE.
- 24:43Speaker 2: I feel like he's talented.
- 24:44Speaker 1: Yeah, he's super talented, like naturally.
- 24:48Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I mean I wrestled the guy was
- 24:52Speaker 4: at his first I was his first mania.
- 24:53Speaker 1: Yeah uh yeah.
- 24:57Speaker 4: I think I think he stays a lot to learn,
- 25:00Speaker 4: for sure, And I think the time that he has
- 25:05Speaker 4: to be able to like practice and develop more stuff
- 25:10Speaker 4: is more power to him. Because you know, I said
- 25:14Speaker 4: it when I was on his podcast, but like we're
- 25:15Speaker 4: constantly on the road right every week, and like he's
- 25:20Speaker 4: he lost the title how long ago? Yeah, we haven't
- 25:22Speaker 4: seen him since, true true logan, but you know.
- 25:25Speaker 1: We no, I mean this the grind for full time wrestlers.
- 25:28Speaker 1: I think it's gotten a little easier than maybe it
- 25:30Speaker 1: wasn't like the nineties or two thousands. Yeah, but even now,
- 25:34Speaker 1: like to have families and to like have a real
- 25:36Speaker 1: life outside of like the WWE has got to be
- 25:39Speaker 1: like just a strain. Like how many days a week
- 25:42Speaker 1: are you guys on the road.
- 25:45Speaker 2: It's like it's like it's lesseran now, you know, we
- 25:47Speaker 2: don't know.
- 25:48Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you get like you get like you
- 25:49Speaker 1: actually get like days off.
- 25:50Speaker 2: Now, solid days and you know, depending on back.
- 25:54Speaker 1: In the day cheese, yeah, like when you're I'm sure
- 25:56Speaker 1: your dad was just like out.
- 25:58Speaker 4: Yeah I remember him being gone like two three weeks
- 26:01Speaker 4: for like those long European tools. You know, I grew
- 26:04Speaker 4: up basically without a dad.
- 26:05Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know he's a dead beat obviously.
- 26:07Speaker 4: That's you know, I am the way I am.

- 27:22Speaker 1: as you should it as you should. It sucks.
- 27:26Speaker 4: I said it last time. He's Jay's ass.

- 27:44Speaker 4: You don't get any mono, even though I also hate
- 27:46Speaker 4: the Yankees, but.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I feel like you got to pick
- 27:48Speaker 1: your poison if it's the Yankees or Dodgers, right, Like
- 27:50Speaker 1: I want the West Coast to because you know, West
- 27:53Speaker 1: Coast is the best coast.
- 27:54Speaker 4: Like Yankees in four?
- 27:57Speaker 1: Yeah, Yankees in four. Let's hope. So I'm I'm I was,
- 28:00Speaker 1: and I live in LA and I'm surrounded by Dodgers fans.
- 28:02Speaker 1: I can't stand it. So anything like and they just
- 28:04Speaker 1: you know, they got Otani. It's like Cheat and Mookie Pittson. Yeah,

- 28:21Speaker 1: have you guys been in the New Raiders Stadium yet? Yeah?
- 28:24Speaker 1: It's pretty it's pretty gnarly. It's like a it's like
- 28:27Speaker 1: a spaceship. And have you been in yet? No? Okay,
- 28:30Speaker 1: well I.
- 28:32Speaker 2: Don't think so.
- 28:33Speaker 4: It's like not ringing a bell de SummerSlam twenty one.
- 28:38Speaker 2: No, I don't think so.
- 28:39Speaker 1: Okay, Summer Slam twenty twenty one was Yes, No, I
- 28:42Speaker 1: haven't been there. There it is. Uh, yeah, it's gonna
- 28:45Speaker 1: be crazy. You know what I'm hoping. I'm hoping we
- 28:46Speaker 1: get a Hell in the Cell match because I feel
- 28:49Speaker 1: like Drew and Punk might have brought back like the
- 28:52Speaker 1: Hell in the Cell the way it's supposed to be.
- 28:54Speaker 4: Who do you want to see in the Hell in
- 28:55Speaker 4: the You and Rio?
- 28:58Speaker 1: They did that? No, I want you and Rio?
- 29:00Speaker 4: Yo?
- 29:00Speaker 1: If you and Ria were in Helena cell?
- 29:02Speaker 2: What what do you think? What would happen?
- 29:03Speaker 1: Lots of blood? Yeah, right, yeah, from her from both
- 29:06Speaker 1: of you guys, she currently would you do a hell
- 29:09Speaker 1: in the Cell match with Rha? If it was like,
- 29:11Speaker 1: would you would you be into that?
- 29:13Speaker 3: I mean if that would finally get her off of
- 29:16Speaker 3: my back, then yeah, I would do anything at this
- 29:19Speaker 3: point to get her to.
- 29:20Speaker 2: Leave us alone.
- 29:21Speaker 1: You feel like she's stalking you, Loki.
- 29:22Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's a little bit concerning. I'm a little
- 29:25Speaker 3: bit scared for her mental health.
- 29:30Speaker 1: Yeah. I would say if I had to pick a match,
- 29:32Speaker 1: it would be you vers Ria hell in the cell
- 29:34Speaker 1: and then you're just like, you know, you're standing outside
- 29:37Speaker 1: with some dirty doms Shenanigans.
- 29:40Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I can I can manage.
- 29:42Speaker 1: I think it'd be great. Anyway, Listen, I appreciate you
