  One we are here attic brewing. It is absolutely jam packed here
• 0:32
  for labor of love Wrestle John. I'm super excited to be here
• 0:37
  Mania weekend and the reason I'm here because your boy's broke
• 0:40
  and I'm a bum and I can't afford anything.
• 0:42
  So I snuck in with this handsome fella and huge thank you once
• 0:46
  again to labor of love for having us and letting us record
• 0:48
  these as well as attic brewing. You guys make amazing beer.
• 0:51
  I left it over there. I I swear I'm I'm still
• 0:54
  drinking. The cream ale is fantastic, but
• 0:57
  I'm here today with. It's Alex Watt.
• 1:00
  Some call me the kilowatt. I am the HIBC, the head bitch in
• 1:07
  chart. Can I swear on that?
• 1:08
  Absolutely. OK.
• 1:11
  Some call me the daddy. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:13
  Some, some say thick. It's a it's a select few, but
• 1:16
  some call me a thick daddy. It happens, It happens, right?
• 1:19
  You can't take that away from me.
• 1:20
  I'm not. I don't hate it.
• 1:21
  Some say Poppy. I don't know.
• 1:24
  What is your current goal in life?
• 1:27
  My biggest goal in life right now honestly, is to grow high
• 1:32
  tension wrestling slowly but surely.
• 1:34
  My philosophy is, you know, slow and steady wins the race, but I
• 1:39
  also have like a goal that's in tandem with that, which is to
• 1:45
  maintain a work life balance with that, not to get completely
• 1:48
  lost in it and to maintain the enjoyment of it and the passion,
• 1:53
  you know? Absolutely.
• 1:55
  Well, what are you currently doing to achieve that goal?
• 1:59
  I'm being more open with my communication, I'm delegating
• 2:03
  more, I'm trusting more people. That's a big part of it.
• 2:08
  I'm also talking to myself a bit more positively and reminding
• 2:13
  myself like, it's not a competition.
• 2:17
  Like just do your thing at your own pace, as well as working
• 2:22
  with other great people, like labor of love, like they're
• 2:24
  instrumental. The collaboration is just out of
• 2:28
  this world with these good people.
• 2:30
  Those labor of love already has that that vibe that we that
• 2:35
  you've tried to like, that has been there since.
• 2:37
  Can't believe Frog has been there.
• 2:38
  High tension. I feel at home.
• 2:40
  I feel like I'm on a high tension.
• 2:41
  Show it meshes really well. Not like Dylan Mesh, he's a
• 2:44
  piece of crap. I mean, go bears.
• 2:46
  Always go bears. We bleed black and gold, baby,
• 2:49
  you know what I mean? But what is holding you back are
• 2:52
  a distraction. Time, time is a big thing.
• 3:00
  Just Full disclosure, the older I get, the more I realize things
• 3:05
  about myself like, you know, unmedicated ADHD and, and, and
• 3:11
  learning how to understand what that is and manage it as well as
• 3:16
  other like, you know, mental struggles and stuff.
• 3:19
  And trying to balance that out and learn that and, and be able
• 3:23
  to manage my time when it's, it's a huge distraction at
• 3:27
  times. Sometimes I'm not motivated to
• 3:30
  do the things I'm passionate about and, and that sucks.
• 3:33
  So again, it's, it's time management I think is key.
• 3:37
  But I do struggle with it. Yeah.
• 3:40
  Who or what motivates or inspires you?
• 3:43
  You I appreciate that and and that's authentic.
• 3:47
  It's it's you, it's it's Billy Avery, it's Laura who is
• 3:52
  instrumental in almost holding my hand.
• 3:55
  The goat. She is she Laura Crane, it's her
• 3:59
  gimmick name, but instrumental in holding my hand through
• 4:02
  things in in a sense and helping me manage my time and organize
• 4:06
  an agenda in order of things that have to get done.
• 4:11
  And it's people like Ethan Wilde and Brian Ace who behind the
• 4:15
  scenes are just wonderful people who deserve the opportunities
• 4:19
  that I'm trying to provide. And they inspire me, you know,
• 4:23
  they absolutely do. What are you grateful for and
• 4:26
  are you currently happy? Oh boy.
• 4:31
  To get real dark. It might though, because I'm
• 4:36
  great. I'm grateful for the human
• 4:38
  connection that I have with people.
• 4:40
  That is probably the one of the most the things I've most come
• 4:44
  to cherish as an adult. Am I happy?
• 4:49
  I used to think that happiness was like a thing that I could
• 4:52
  obtain. And then I've come to realize
• 4:54
  like I only find happiness in moments.
• 4:58
  And these are moments where we're doing something cool or
• 5:02
  where I'm connecting with somebody on a genuine level.
• 5:05
  And those are the moments that I try to have more frequently.
• 5:08
  But as a baseline, like I, I don't experience happiness all
• 5:13
  the time, but there is a level of contentment and I'm OK with
• 5:18
  that. Yeah, absolutely.
• 5:20
  Where can people find or support you?
• 5:23
  Support. I mean, you can find me at Real
• 5:26
  Kilowatt on all social media. Definitely support high tension
• 5:30
  wrestling at high 8 whoops at high tension HTW.
• 5:35
  It's been a while since I've done these things again on all
• 5:39
  social media. Check us out, you know, look for
• 5:43
  future shows and check out our friends and partners.
• 5:46
  Absolutely. All right, we'll see you guys on
• 5:48
  the next one. A5 questions ABJ WrestleMania
• 5:51
  weekend, we're out. for that post credits scene.
• 6:36
  We we go back. We do.
• 6:38
  We go way back. We go back like spinal cords and
• 6:41
  seats, you know what I mean? But I want to ask, I want to ask
• 6:44
  you is what when it comes to recapturing your love for this
• 6:49
  business and what you want to accomplish in this business and
• 6:52
  stuff like that, where, where do you like, what is your overall
• 6:56
  pool of like when it comes to booking talent, looking for
• 6:59
  storyline things and fixtures? What do you drive that from and
• 7:03
  what is what like? What is your biggest muse when
• 7:05
  it comes to like inspiration for that?
• 7:09
  If I if I pull away from the collaboration and I pull away
• 7:12
  from the people bringing me good ideas or character based ideas,
• 7:19
  typically I base it off somebody's character and I go
• 7:23
  what would this person do or what would they do in this
• 7:26
  situation? So usually all of my stories I
• 7:29
  come up with are based off the characters I want to book and
• 7:33
  what they would do in the world that I create.
• 7:36
  Now that weren't a thing, I would probably just RIP off
• 7:40
  movies all the time. Yeah, so I'm going to, I'm going
• 7:43
  to, I'm going to double up on this one.
• 7:46
  Who is a character in the world of the independent wrestling
• 7:49
  that you love to play with inside your universe the most.
• 7:53
  Like, you look at their character, you're like, oh man,
• 7:55
  how can I, how can I tweak them and use them to my liking?
• 7:58
  Because I like, I already like what they bring and I would like
• 8:01
  to challenge them with something different.
• 8:06
  I mean, the first thing comes to mind is Doctor Ethan Wilde.
• 8:09
  Oh yes, yes, his new like it's not new but his new layer is so
• 8:15
  good. It's he took what he already had
• 8:18
  from Leapfrog and he added something to it.
• 8:21
  Like as a team, I think we all came up with this Wild LLC
• 8:25
  concept and he built upon it. We gave him some tools to add to
• 8:30
  it, such as we gave him Luca Mancini and and Dylan Mesh and
• 8:36
  then we we we've started to build upon that.
• 8:39
  I got to get him for five questions today.
• 8:41
  That's going to happen. Absolutely.
• 8:43
  So yeah, he's probably the top one, although everybody we play
• 8:46
  with at High Tension Wrestling. Consensually.
• 8:50
  Consensually, they're absolutely amazing and fun to do so.
• 8:55
