  Star now.
• 0:01
  Man, it's good to see you again too.
• 0:03
  Is this one of your sponsors?
• 0:05
  Yeah.
• 0:05
  Awesome.
• 0:05
  We'll make sure they get plenty of plenty of juice on this.
• 0:10
  Bubba starts here with the scene project sports network.
• 0:13
  We're here with Rocker Steiner.
• 0:14
  Rocker, we got to see you last year, and since then, you have had a meteoric rise.
• 0:18
  You're $55,000 ahead right now in the standings.
• 0:23
  You're ready for NFR already, but you're here competing again at the Governors Cup.
• 0:27
  I know last night didn't go your way, and 83 is pretty low for you.
• 0:30
  You could tell in the arena you were disappointed.
• 0:32
  Tonight, you came out and you rolled the shit out of Tequila Queen.
• 0:35
  Tell me about it, man.
• 0:36
  Yeah.
• 0:36
  I mean, yesterday was just a horse that wasn't exactly rider friendly, so we got by decent
• 0:42
  scores, stayed in the average, and came back around.
• 0:44
  Well, and how important is it to just ride?
• 0:46
  Well, so most of our fans aren't big rodeo people.
• 0:49
  Right?
• 0:49
  So can you explain to just ride and not get bucked off into score is so important,
• 0:53
  especially in a three day event because it all averages out.
• 0:56
  It all counts towards something.
• 0:58
  Yeah.
• 0:58
  Yeah.
• 0:58
  Well, you know, the top eight guys out of however many guys are
• 1:03
  in the
• 1:04
  long run, you know, get moved to the semifinals, which is tomorrow.
• 1:08
  And so staying in the average is the top eight scores combined.
• 1:11
  So You gotta have it.
• 1:13
  Staying in the average, 83 points.
• 1:14
  I was right in the mix of everything.
• 1:16
  So Yeah.
• 1:16
  I come back come back with a solid ride and Yeah.
• 1:19
  Put you right where you wanna be.
• 1:21
  Yep.
• 1:21
  It it was amazing to watch tonight.
• 1:23
  I knew because of the ride last night and just getting to know you a little bit last year and
• 1:27
  following you, you're a fiery guy.
• 1:29
  Right?
• 1:30
  And I know you're competitive to the bone that you were gonna come out tonight and perform and
• 1:34
  then even more tomorrow.
• 1:36
  How much money is on the line for you guys to win the championship tomorrow?
• 1:40
  I believe, like, 32,000 tomorrow.
• 1:42
  So So it's a crazy amount of money for three rides in a weekend.
• 1:46
  Right?
• 1:46
  I mean, twenty four seconds combined for over $30,000.
• 1:50
  That's incredible.
• 1:51
  Hey.
• 1:51
  It's money for nothing chicks for free.
• 1:53
  Man, isn't it?
• 1:55
  Well, and speaking of chicks for free, you're a big TV star now.
• 1:57
  Tell me about raising hell.
• 1:59
  Yeah.
• 1:59
  So hell on wheels is a
• 2:01
  Hell on wheels.
• 2:01
  Is a little deal that we did.
• 2:03
  It's pretty much we went on a bus for thirty days, filmed what I do on a day day to day
• 2:07
  basis, and it's gonna surprise me.
• 2:10
  So is that on the cowboy channel as well?
• 2:12

  Fantastic.
• 2:14
  Well, we are on YouTube.

• 2:21
  fans out there.
• 2:22
  What's next for you?

  Lot of winning from
• 2:29

• 2:30
  That's right, man.
• 2:31
  That's it seems like that's all you've been doing.
• 2:32
  You made a lot of money this year already.
• 2:34
  I fucking hate it.
• 2:37
  You're gonna be over at the Alliance later tonight?
• 2:40
  Yeah.
• 2:41
  I'll plan on being there.
• 2:42
  Good.
• 2:42
  Well, we're gonna see you over there, Rocker.
• 2:44
  Thanks for your time, buddy.
• 2:45
  I appreciate you.
• 2:48
  Awesome, dude.
• 2:48
  To see you.
• 2:48
  Man, it was good to see you too.
• 2:50
  We've been following your career.
• 2:51
  We weren't huge rodeo fans before, but after meeting you last year and and following you on
• 2:56
  Instagram, obviously, and just watching the climb has been incredible.
• 3:00
  You know?
• 3:01
  You're you're a hell
• 3:02
  of a fucking athlete, man.
• 3:03
  And like you said, you hate losing, and it shows.
• 3:07
  Yeah.
• 3:07
  It's the worst.
• 3:08
  Yeah.
• 3:08
  Yeah.
• 3:09
  It's so fun.
• 3:10
  Last year, I remember I so last year, just got I just moved to number one in the world.
• 3:15
  And today, I just moved to breaking the season.
• 3:19
  So every time I see you, someone's fucking big.
• 3:21
  Yeah.
• 3:21
  Yeah.
• 3:21
  Last year, came and walked over like, hey, we're doing a deal for Sports Illustrated.
• 3:25
  You know, if anybody and I was like, take a seat, boys.
• 3:28
  I got this shit.
• 3:30
  Well, and that's why when I saw you with the TV show, it made perfect sense.
• 3:33
  Right?
• 3:33
  I was like, man, this kid's born to be a star.
• 3:36
  He wants the attention, and not everybody necessarily wants that.
• 3:38
  Right?
• 3:39
  They don't wanna be in front of a camera all the time, but you have the right personality.
• 3:42
  And I knew that last year, and that's why when we came back this year, it's like, man, there's
• 3:46
  one interview at the top of my list.
• 3:48
  We gotta talk to Rocker again.
• 3:50
  Of course, we'll talk to anybody and everyone and all the champions, but we wanna be working
• 3:53
  with people that are in not just the sport, but in the sport of winning and media.
• 3:59
  You can't be a star with a personality of a fucking hand sandwich.
• 4:01
  This is not worth it.
• 4:02
  I mean, you can't.
• 4:03
  Well, and would you say that the
• 4:05
  How big how big would Elvis be without his personality?
• 4:07
  Exactly.
• 4:08
  Well, and I think the sport of rodeo needs more ities.
• 4:11
  Right?
• 4:11
  And it's why people love the PBR.
• 4:14
  Right?
• 4:14
  It's because you have those personalities there, and not that they're necessarily the
• 4:17
  best.
• 4:18
  You guys got some great bull riders in the PRCA.
• 4:21
  Right?
• 4:22
  But it's the person it's fucking
• 4:23
  fucking show.
• 4:24
  How big would the WWE be without personal?
• 4:26
  Exactly, man.
• 4:27
  And we cover a lot of pro wrestling coverage now with independent promotions in the same
• 4:31
  way.
• 4:31
  So, man, I'm going
• 4:32
  to the WWE in on the sixth Yeah?
• 4:35
  In Dallas.
• 4:36
  Awesome.
• 4:37
  Ringside.
• 4:37
  Nice.
• 4:38
  Yeah.
• 4:38
  They're gonna pull you into the ring?
• 4:40
  Oh, fuck somebody.
• 4:41
  And we're not if I if they pull me in that ring, we're not pulling.
• 4:46
  Yeah.
• 4:46
  I'm somebody.
• 4:47
  Oh, you're in it.
• 4:47
  Coming off the top ropes, man.
• 4:49
  Yeah.
• 4:49
  Yeah.
• 4:50
  What can they do to you that a freaking horse can't.
• 4:53
  Right?
• 4:54
  They can eat you.
• 4:56
  Fair enough.
• 4:57
  I guess a horse couldn't eat you.
• 4:58
  No.
• 4:58
  Rocker, you're a hell of a personality, man.
• 5:01
  The sport is proud to have you.
