  Speaker 3: the Bible say, the faith of a mustard seed or
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: the ram in the bush, and all those little things
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: made sense to me, man, because it was like I

• 4:51
  Speaker 3: took me back to the same restaurant again. He said,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: this won't cost you up a time of dedication. I'm
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: gonna pay for everything. So sometimes the universe got to

  Speaker 3: to be the first black n WA champion, Like how
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: younger and blacks look at me, or like oh I
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: can do that now, I can, you know what I'm saying.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: So just living live, living into where now I've excelled into,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Like I think I'm more popular than I've ever been
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: in my career right now, right now, right now, and
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: in the wrestle have being that's kind of hard. That's
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: what we call a pop when when you come out,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: when I'm like hitting Nicky, I still get one of
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: the biggest pops. And it feels so everything I I
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: get reciprocated to me like a lot of fans. Tell me, Bro,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: you make me feel. I remember watching you when I
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: got signed in ninety eight. So that's how long I've
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: been wrestling. I've been allowed to continue to do this,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: still be reinventing myself each and every time. With the Unreal,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: the Netflix deal, it allowed me to reinvent myself again.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: So life will give you these opportunities, these moments, but
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: we just got to grab them.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Well, what would you say to people who think the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Unreal series is revealing too much?
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Too much?
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Now you think so? Yes, man, it's about the same
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: as you know what. You know what I'm saying. You
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: know the rabbits in the hat, don't you? Yeah?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people know wrestling not real. We just enjoyed entertainment.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: But ament wrestling is real.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: That's the big need.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Jesus envy. There's a lot of real aspects of wrestling
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: that surrounded and weaved into it. A lot of things
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: from the Unreal You're gonna see is real. A lot
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: of things ain't real. Wrestling is feels that we still
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: give you that illusion. We still a lot of people
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: believe in these characters.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Yess entertainment that I enjoy, You enjoy.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I got a character our truth. I got a Ron
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Killing's cha, I got a kick character. I got a
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Ron Seena character. John Seena is my older brother. You
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. You know, damn well, jes come on,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: but check it out though. So it's like, I think
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: a lot of people get attached to the character and
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: see themselves living that life, same as a movie. Right. Yeah.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: So the people that do say that it reveals too much.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: What positive has come out of revealing those things that
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: people normally don't reveal.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of positive come out of it. You
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: get to get a deep inside look at what's how
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: the machine works, you know what I'm saying. A lot
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: of us get to see the after life of what
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: it's created and the glorifications that we don't get to see,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: the sweat, blood and tears, and the drama, the dynamic,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: the diabolical shit that goes on. You never get to
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: see all of that or how difficult it is, and
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: you still have to execute and go do that. I
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: don't care how you feel or how you look at it.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: You still got to participate if you're going to be
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: in this game.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Because you could write a plan up, and you could
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: write something up, but it doesn't necessarily don't have to
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: follow by plan because y'all jumping from.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: The air, y'all throwing people left and right. I mean,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: it's that's why they create that word called audibles. Right,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: we have to man like I'm sure with y'all, y'all
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: get slid something on the spot. You got to be
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: able to like boom. A lot of times we get told, hey,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: y'all got an extra four minutes, y'all got an extra
• 10:26

  Speaker 6: Other people on the inside reached out to you, like, yo,
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: we're happy that you're kind of like pulling the veil
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: back a little bit.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: A lot of people, a lot of people like, oh,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: hit me up, like, oh, I didn't know it's like that,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Oh I didn't know you I'm saying, So it's I

  Speaker 3: think it's.
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: I mean, like actual like fighters fighters, Yeah, like people
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: on the inside that would typically want you to kind
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: of keep some of that stuff to the chest because
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: you know, what you don't know is how you make
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: your business. Like have they been like, Okay, we're glad
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: that you kind of putting some of this out there
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: for people to see.

• 11:04
  Speaker 3: have to have like said it like you said it.

  Speaker 3: I have no problem with transparency that I just told
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: y'all used to be in the streets that I told y'all.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: So it's like, it's what we do with that transparency

• 22:52
  Speaker 3: my son was behind me, I was in the garage smoking,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: I mean sweeping. Yeah. Yeah. So it was like, damn it.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know how if anybody feels like to get
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: fired or get like you know what I'm saying, get fired?
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Four times from radio?

  Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, you didn't get a takeod bye? No, no,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: that's crazy.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: So what Triple A said? You didn't really get fired?
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, let me ask you this. Then I got the
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: call right, if I got my my agent working on
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: this end with their agent, I'm just I put the
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: stay out of that, right, let them handle that thing.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: I get a call from this side saying we're not
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: going to renew your contract or however it was, you're
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: not going to So do I come to work? It's Sunday,

• 24:18
  Speaker 3: What do you call that sounds like a firing. But
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, but it's all I don't know if it's
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: all the same or it's different. If it ain't, I mean,
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: I guess I'm teach you to lead creative.
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: That I would have felt like because he said that
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: you were technically still and you were never not under
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: contract with them.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: He also said that, and he said he said he
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: never intended to fire you or push you out.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: The hope was that by allowing the deal to expire
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: without a mediate renewal, it would prompt you to reopen dialogue.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: That's why I said. In the time, my agent and
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: they people was talking and I was staying out of that.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: But I got called from this person that said boom,
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: So I wasn't. I was even in the dialogue situation
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: with the dialogue conversation. You know what I'm saying, This
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: is my first time even having an agent hand on
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: my business. You know I'm saying, I've always for me
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: telling you from Georgia turn and to be a wildside
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: this Now, I've always done my own business. This is
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: my first time having to where I stayed out of dialogue.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: So that's the way I took it. It felt like
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: a firing to me, and that's when I Pauls took
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: that moment. I couldn't really, I couldn't figure out how
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: I felt.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Did it feel sudden to you or was this something
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: you since might happen.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: No, it was sudden. It was a negotiation, so I thought.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: So I was told it was in negotiation, So it
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: was like, never for once did I feel bitter, jaded
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: or anger. I was just at lost for feelings, at
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: lost for words and lost for emotion.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: And I felt like out of the generations that I've
• 25:58
