• 6:07
  Speaker 2: that were getting going into mania. But you guys had
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: a moment where you guys wrestled at NXT, and I
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: feel like that had to be an honor to kind
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: of because I feel like Randy's not just getting in
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the ring with anybody.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like a statement was made. What was
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that like?
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: But it was it was wild. I feel like it was.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: It was a very big test for me, you know
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: what I mean.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: I think that was my first like major test going
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: into NXC. I think at the time, Bro, I think
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: I was in NXC maybe almost a year, either closer
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: a year or we just hit the year, and they
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: gave me an opportunity to go his Randy or in
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: his hometown, which is insane. And you know, you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: og ain't pulling up to NAC, like you said, just
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: to wrestle anybody in his hometown to wrestle.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: In general, you feel me, So it was it was
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: an honor, Bro.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I'm so blessed I had the opportunity and so grateful.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: That I got to learn under under Randy.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: And and ever since then it has been a connection between
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: me and him. I haven't talked to him since SmackDown.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: He's kind of been, you know himself. You've been a
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: little distant. He's been tweaking out, So you feel me,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: I'm letting him get his you know, his anger outd
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: He's just a lot differentia for sure.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Ye.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. Look, I hope the face keeps going.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I like you, right, yo, Uh talk to me too,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: because you were also a part of John Cena's final
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: match that night you and Leon Slater had a banger
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: of a match with AJ and Dragon Lee.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: That was a very historical night.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: It was one of the more emotional nights in wrestling,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: and I thought it was such a dope thing that
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Sina did where he wanted to make sure that the
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: next generation of talent got saw by everybody as well.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: How were you nervous? Man like that?

  Speaker 2: this this is a big night. Like did you talk
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: to Scena going into that?
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: So honestly, when I walked into the arena, I put
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: my stuff down in the locker room and I was
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: just walking around and.
• 8:06

• 16:52
  Speaker 2: to like Sean Michaels and his ability to kind of,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: like I talent, develop talent. What was it like being
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: under Shawn Michaels at n XT and having him as

• 23:50
  Speaker 2: When he came out Monday night and he looked like
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: he had been through hell and back. I'm like, I
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: don't know how he got his eye like that so committed.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: But has he given you any game like? Is he
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: like you know, I feel like he always is giving
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: advice to people. Is Hayman giving you any advice?

  Speaker 4: Since you got yeah, all on and I go to him,
• 24:09

  Speaker 4: He puts me on, but he be he'd be giving
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: me all these like hend and gems. You know that
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: that nobody really be like thinking about you know, it's
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: honestly like the small stuff and like the storytelling.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: So he always puts me.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: On, and you know, hopefully, hopefully if he turns into
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: a good guy, a little good manager when you get
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: something that works.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Are you trying to say you want to be a
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Paul Hayman guy.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: I ain't saying I want to be a Paul Hayman guy.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: But if he changes his energy, you know, if he
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: starts being a crowd favorite, you know, a little fan favorite.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I think he is a fan favorite. I just think that.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: I think I think he's a fan favorite in a
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: way that like, no matter what he does, the crowd
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: will participate like they will be like fuck you.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: For real honestly, but you know, I don't you know,
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: I don't want to crowd because to him and I'm
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: like all energetic.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Is there is there anything that you think you cannot
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: accomplish in the ring.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: We have seen some crazy spots.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I think back to like some of the
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: stuff like Logan's done recently, or even if you go back,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: you know, some of the Shane McMahon spots that we're here.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like there's nothing you can't figure
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: out in the ring because you have such a bag.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: You got a crazy bag.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Man is like, are you still like I guess like
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: if you're training, You're like, all right, I still need
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: to figure out this move or how do I get
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: how do I pull this off?
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Where I get from here to here?
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I always think about that every time I'm
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: in the ring. Honestly, right now, brouh, I'm just I
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: feel like the moves are there, you know what I mean.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: I feel like any move I could just do, uh
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: right now, I'm I'm just worried about like.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Being able or yeah, being able to connect to the crowd.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: But not doing too many moves, you know what I mean,
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: it's like you want the crowd to fuck with you
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: and and then I mean the wrestling's there, you got
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: you got the technical part figured out, but it's like
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: you got to connect with the people exactly. It's not
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: all like the moves are cool, bro, but it's like,
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: all right, how how am I going to connect to
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: the crowd?
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Like if I had no moves, what am I going
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: to do now? And that was just you feel me?
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: That was just like all right, like that was about feeling.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: That was about energy. It's about like facials, you know
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: what I.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Mean, Like like how am I going.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: To do that to connect little crowd?
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: So?
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, bro, so now that's what that's what I'm like
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: really focusing on right now. Just I want to connect
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: the crowd without doing all the crazy stuff, you know,
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: like I'm still going to do me you know, I mean,
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: but I'm just you know, I feel like that's just
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: another level that I want to get to, especially I
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: want to start at a young age. Now it's about
• 26:56
