• 3:13
  Speaker 1: What is your earliest memory of pro wrestling?
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. My earliest memory of progressling. I grew up
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: right before the Attitude or like during that time. So
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I remember Brad, I remember.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Seawn Michael's before he was with d X, the Hall, Cogan,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Dusty Roads, and then I was into the Attitude. Yeah,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: after Attitude or and just now I've just always been
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: watching for us in the whole entire life.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Well, how did you find out there was other wrestling
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: out there? Because obviously, I think I don't want to
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: say obviously, I think a lot of people normally start
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: with ww you WWF again, wherever and whenever you started.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: But at some point you maybe are flimming through the TV,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: or you're hanging out with friends, or even you find
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: it in the magazine and you're like, oh shit, there's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: other wrestling out there. So what for you? What was
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: it that you found on the wrestling?
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: The other rustling I found was TNA.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, so AJ Styles is set up something in
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Hall of Fame. He's one of my favorite wrestlers. But
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I found TNA. I liked how they was doing what
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: they was.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I liked.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I was a fan ECW because I was like extreme
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: while unpredictable, and I resonated with ECW more.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: But I always loved WW and I wanted to say,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: like the indie world.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I didn't know the indie world existed until the Keys
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: have wrong me there. Ah.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: So by the time I was signing up, like how,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I was googling how do I become pro wrestler.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I've seen some of my favorites that's in my area
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: becoming prog rasser as well. And I was like, they said, MCW,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: it's a school MCW, and I got signed up for
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: and the Russell's been history. I love that, but I
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: really didn't know god work. I really didn't know indie
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: rattling existed. I didn't know about people wrestling local and everything,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: having birthday.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Parties and everything. I was like, why why didn't I
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: know about this?
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I was just so focused on like like this TV
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: and YouTube, like people playing rats and everything, but I
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: never seen live events where they had local rosters.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Right, What was your first live event.

  Speaker 3: I always been watching and wrestling fans. If you know me,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: you know I always for my birthdays in the summertime.

  Speaker 3: And the only thing I always wondered for was the
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: new third w game that came out like months ago.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I couldn't get it on Christmas. I have a lot
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: of siblings. My mom was very you know, picky on
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: what she spent her money on. But I was like, okay,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: so on my birthday, I know if I asked for
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: my birthday, I can get it. No, I did not
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: believe in Santa Claus and if you still believe me,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: still real I'm saying there. But I went to a
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: show with me and my friend. We went to.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: It was the pay per view. It was Payback Actually,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: oh okay.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I went to Payback in the at the time and
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I was like wow, I like, I loved it so
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: much and I can't believe I was an adult doing it.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: But that was my first time, my first time I
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: was an adult watching.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: What was that experience like for you?
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: I felt like a child again, and I haven't felt
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: like a child all over. It was so much stuff
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: going on in my personal life, like my cousin, my brother,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: they all just passed away and everything, and I was like,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I want to do this to show that I'm still alive,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: like I could live.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: And Rodson had always.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Been that escape for me, and then I turned to
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: not only and escape with just a lifestyle.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: In the christ which Payback was it? Do you remember.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Something?
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I think it was in.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: It's I know what happened on this seat. It's the
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: day when Bailey debut.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, so.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: I can't even remember what year it is. I'm not

  Speaker 3: it was around that time.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, Google, y'all look it up.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking up now. If it was Bailey, it
• 8:38

  Speaker 3: I'll already know how I was watching it from home, Yeah,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: but live around other people that I never got to
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: watch wrestling with other people other than myself. It was
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: like I felt the community. I felt like, Okay, this
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: is where I belong amongst my own kind.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Well, when you finally got that chance to be in

• 10:22
  Speaker 3: I go out there doing it, I'm like, wow, I'm
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: getting better and better.
• 10:28

  Speaker 2: the same time.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean in the main event for this going
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: on was Dean Ambrose. It was basically the Shield is
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, what an event to go to him.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: And it was it was crazy.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Well, so what was it for you that you decided
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: that this was what you wanted to do? Like, and
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I mean obviously you googled it and you figured out
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: how to you know, get in the business, But like,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: what was it for you that you were like, Okay,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I have to do.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: This because I said I was going to do it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: That's why why I said I was going to do it,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: and I wanted to do it.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I was this serious, like I was playing twenty nineteen.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: It was in twenty nineteen where I was playing the
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: game when they was saying like, you get the window
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: one million dollars right by being like, you know, use
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: the aj styles to go through everybody.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: And I wanted that one million. I wanted the one million.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: I wanted to be able to buy my own contract
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: and lew though like hey, like I want to be
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: a wrestler instead of using the money, Yeah, let me
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: be a wrestler. And I couldn't be him beat samo
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Joe in one of the tournaments, and I was talking
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: to one of my friends and I was just like
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: so frustrated because I could not be and I was like,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: I want to be him in real life, Like.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: I am tired of playing this game trying to be him.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: I could be him and you know, sell to him.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: Future Hall of Famer in all areas is incredible. But
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: I was mad at the time. I was like okay
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: about being progressing and before like.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Do it and I was like for real, like because
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: that was the first time really said it out loud
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: to somebody other there like my family and the house
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: like hey, and they were like yeah, DoD and I
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: was like, you know what, I could really do it, Like,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: why haven't I done it yet?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Right? Like, what was that first bump like for you?
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it felt like the world turned. I
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: played sports in my neighborhood, but I never actually played
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: on the team or anything like the combat and that
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: first bump.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: It was really the ropes.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Oh that's why I keep hearing too, Yeah.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: The ropes.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: When I came home that night, I got in the
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: shower and it felt like like I just like stepped
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: in fire.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I was talking to my girl at the time. I
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: was like, hey, bab like, it's something on my back,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Like my skin was peeled off.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Oh geez, yeah.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I'll say, oh this is real.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy. Well, so how did you end up?
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Because I think people take the ropes differently. Some do
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: it with one arm out, some do it with the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: hand behind them, some do it a little different. How
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: did you end up like figuring out what was the
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: best way for you, because, like you said, that first time,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: your skin got peeled off, so you obviously didn't want
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: that to happen again, or obviously you also have to
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: calish your body to it. But how did you end
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: up kind of figuring out this was the best way
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: for me to hit the ropes.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I do both, and I also do it like the
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: lucha door way.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Oh were you bounce off into one hand behind one
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: hand on? So it just depends on my momentum because
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I moved fast, but I'm how slow down to my coach?
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, So based on my momentum and what I'm
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: about to be, like what I have in my mind
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: to do, I was like, what my body just naturally does.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: It depends how I hold the ropes, and some of
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: the ropes, like you you.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Need to hold them onto it a certain way because
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: they probably lose or tight.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Like it all depends. Each ring is different, But I'm
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: making my own.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I love that. Where did you? Where did the where
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: did white keys come from?
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: So waquis before Rosston, I've been ways for my whole
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: inside of life. People always ask me, oh, why you
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: do this?
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Why you do that?
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I'm like they're like, oh, why keys whack keys? I'm like,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: that's why because that's what I did.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I did it? What about it?
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: And why you're gonna ask me why? I get like,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: you know, I had that type of attitude and I
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: was like, you know what, people have said it so much.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I made it my name. I was like why keys? Yeah?
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: And I made a song. I did music. I still
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: do it. I made a song and I was like
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: why don't ask me why? That's why? Why why? And
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: now like I broke it over fass and so I'll
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: be like wow, wow why.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: And I just took I just took off with it. Yeah.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I mean the fans love it. I mean it's definitely
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: something that they can obviously get it behind too.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They say it's catching, yeah.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: A little bit.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, even in my logo it's so why yeah? So

  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Where did that get come from?
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I grew up.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: People always say Kingdom of Parts and I'm like okay,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: but it then inspired me.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Literally I was drawn. I made a little sketch.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: I was trying to figure out how can I make
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: a Y into a key?
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: And then I was like, oh, but I want I
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: want this to be and I want that to be,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: and like I love the ying yang from like Avatar
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: and like what it says for even rv D sou
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: to rv D from ECW original.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I got somebody to.

  Speaker 2: It your own.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: And yeah, like be what they considered different. It's only

  Speaker 3: different because you're not doing everything that somebody else is doing. Like,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: we all are individuals and we all here to be
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: who we are, not.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: To be a copy. Yeah. So, and that's why.
