  Slam hosted by ACE Austin. I would say you're Co hosting is
• 0:22
  your is your school too. I mean, maybe.
• 0:24
  I mean, I guess. Yeah, I'm giving you credit.
• 0:26
  Say it. Let's say it.
• 0:27
  Let's say it. Co host.
• 0:28
  Yeah, You're Co. Hosting with my guests here, but
• 0:30
  it's also in conjunction with AXW Wrestling.
• 0:33
  Great event coming, kind of coming back full of circle and
• 0:36
  I'm here with. I am the pariah Skyler Kincaid.
• 0:40
  So real quick, before we get into any questions, I'm going to
• 0:43
  add a bonus one in. So you're kind of getting 6
• 0:44
  questions. What is it like to you know, be
• 0:48
  in this business as long as you have and then kind of coming
• 0:51
  back to your high school in this capacity and and performing
• 0:53
  where at one point in time you were at?
• 0:56
  I got to tell you, it's been a really, really crazy day.
• 1:00
  The first minute I walked here, I was like, wow, it's my old
• 1:04
  school. Like I had so many teachers who
• 1:06
  told me, you know, you, you can't do this.
• 1:08
  I had plenty of teachers who did tell me I could, but I felt like
• 1:11
  then the ones who told me I couldn't outweighed.
• 1:14
  And I mean, I was a much different kid then.
• 1:15
  I was a lot more, let's say, pudgy, out of shape.
• 1:18
  I really wasn't like I am now and and just to be here now and
• 1:23
  to be able to tonight to go out in that ring and say, look, I
• 1:26
  did it and I brought it back here.
• 1:28
  So you can't take this away from me.
• 1:30
  This is such a special night, man.
• 1:31
  I'm I'm feeling a little a little more over the moon than I
• 1:34
  usually am. I.
• 1:34
  Love that, I love that. So what are your current goals
• 1:36
  in life? I got to be honest with you, I I
• 1:39
  just want to find some happiness.
• 1:40
  I feel like I spent a long time being maybe miserable, stuck in
• 1:45
  my own head, stuck in my own way a little bit.
• 1:47
  I kind of feel like I want to just find some happiness.
• 1:50
  I want to get myself more out there in wrestling.
• 1:52
  I want to get I definitely think I want to get on TV just because
• 1:55
  I want to do this full time. You know, I do it a lot, but I
• 1:57
  want to do more full time. I want I want Monday through
• 2:00
  Friday to be wrestling and Saturday and Sunday to be for
• 2:03
  family and then right back to. Wrestling, I think you're very
• 2:06
  talented and you should be doing it as well.
• 2:08
  What are you currently doing to achieve your goals?
• 2:10
  I am a workout fanatic. I work out five, 6-7 days a
• 2:14
  week. I really depends.
• 2:15
  So I keep myself in shape. I started training at the
• 2:19
  dungeon school once to twice a week because I want to, you
• 2:23
  know, I want to stay fresh in the ring, you know, I want to
• 2:24
  make sure that I can add some new stuff, make sure that all my
• 2:27
  stuff is fine-tuned. And I've really, I honestly have
• 2:30
  found a joy in helping younger guys.
• 2:32
  I found that it's just really joyful to watch a younger guys
• 2:35
  start and they're not as great, but then just watch their
• 2:38
  progression, you know, watch them gain some athleticism and
• 2:41
  gain some confidence. It's it's awesome to see.
• 2:43
  Honestly, it is. What is currently a possible set
• 2:46
  back or a distraction from your goals?
• 2:48
  Oh man, a big one for me is has always been transportation.
• 2:52
  I can be honest with you, I lost a car when I was a little while
• 2:56
  back and then the way the world is right now, man, it's just
• 2:59
  hard to replace it. So me and my fiance, we share a
• 3:02
  car and it's, it's, you know, it works, but you know, when you
• 3:05
  want to drive like 10-12 hours away, you want to stay away your
• 3:09
  night, it's a little hard to take it away.
• 3:10
  So I feel like transportation's been my biggest issue.
• 3:12
  And I've also always felt like I've gotten in my own way
• 3:15
  because like, I feel like I have the confidence, but then, you
• 3:18
  know, there's a week or two or three where you're like, man, I
• 3:20
  don't have the confidence anymore.
• 3:21
  I just can't do it. And then you got to, you got to
• 3:23
  get through those weeks. You got to push through those
• 3:25
  weeks because I mean, the confidence is in there.
• 3:27
  I just got to unlock it. You know what?
• 3:28
  I mean, when I, when I always ask where you've been or what
• 3:31
  you're doing and like, oh, he stepped away for that reason.
• 3:34
  Exactly what you said. It's like blows my mind because
• 3:36
  you're, you are incredibly talented.
• 3:37
  I don't know if you hear it or not, but it's not just
• 3:39
  gaslighting. It's you're generally good at
• 3:41
  what you. Do thank you.
• 3:42
  I feel like I've heard it here and there, but I feel like it's
• 3:45
  always good to rehear it because there's a lot of times where
• 3:47
  you're just sitting at home, like.
• 3:48
  Gotta have. This like belief?
• 3:50
  You gotta, you gotta believe in yourself.
• 3:51
  It starts with you, yeah. So what do you what?
• 3:54
  What currently motivates you or inspires you?
• 3:56
  Maybe in those moments of self doubt.
• 3:58
  A big one for me honestly right now is my my kids, my family and
• 4:03
  my kids. I want to make a better life for
• 4:05
  my fiance and my daughter. And if I could just, you know,
• 4:09
  get to take them out and see the world, you know, 'cause I always
• 4:11
  wanted to do wrestling so I could take me to see the world.
• 4:14
  But it's not just me now. Like I kind of want to take them
• 4:16
  with me and, and get to experience what the world has to
• 4:19
  offer out there. I know there's some scary stuff,
• 4:20
  but there's a lot of cool stuff out there in the world and I'd
• 4:22
  love to go see, you know, this place and that place.
• 4:26
  I don't know about going overseas as much, honestly.
• 4:27
  I know a lot of guys love going to Japan, and Japan would be a
• 4:30
  really cool thing to go do, but I kind of want to go to the UK
• 4:32
  more. I feel like they're more of my
• 4:34
  style. I was.
• 4:34
  Just there. It was awesome.
• 4:35
  It was so good. I want to live there.
• 4:37
  If I could move, that's where I'd go feel.
• 4:39
  Like the hard hitting style fits me more and I'm going to be
• 4:41
  honest with you, I got a weakness for accents so I could
• 4:43
  just listen to people talk all day and just be like.
• 4:45
  I was in London. It was, it's like the, it's like
• 4:47
  the New York, but like the Mecca even more because everyone's so
• 4:50
  close. But what are you?
• 4:52
  What are you currently grateful for and are you currently happy?
• 4:56
  Right now, you know what I have found some happiness, you know,
• 4:58
  and it's good. I've found it in in just
• 5:01
  learning to take a a second to breathe before jumping into
• 5:04
  decisions or rushing through things.
• 5:07
  Or, you know, sometimes I feel like especially when you have,
• 5:09
  if you don't have kids, you, I don't know if you can fully feel
• 5:12
  it, but when you have kids, it's like you tell them every day,
• 5:15
  slow down to grow like as they grow up fast.
• 5:17
  And my daughter started at 0, now she's at 5 already.
• 5:20
  And I'm like, slow down. Like let me slow down too.
• 5:23
  Like we all got to just let's slow down and enjoy life.
• 5:25
  So I feel like sometimes you just get stuck in the motions
• 5:27
  and we're going and we're going and you don't take a second to
• 5:30
  stop. And then like all day today,
• 5:32
  I've had to take a second to stop and look around and go.
• 5:35
  It's it's a real, it's life moves really fast.
• 5:39
  So every now and then, stop and appreciate what's around.
• 5:41
  You, oh man, I love that and I, I would love to live by that
• 5:44
  cause. And you know, everybody should
• 5:45
  'cause I feel like there's too much stress out there in the
• 5:47
  world, man. You got to find just to take a
• 5:49
  second, be happy, Zen in, Zen in, get in yourself and you
• 5:53
  know, get some motivation, feel some, feel some, feel some
• 5:56
  looseness. We just talked to Rick Swan so
• 5:58
  that everyone's a little Lucy, everybody.
• 5:59
