Hey, man.
It's starting to hot, bro.
And I, uh,
I fuck with y'all.
You know what I'm saying?
But what I,
I hate clips.
It got,
took out of proportion
what I said.
I ain't backing down. I'm standing on what I said. I ain't backing down.
I'm standing on what I said.
What'd you say?
I went to a wrestling match, and a motherfucker swung him.
He missed, and the motherfucker fell.
I'm not wrong for being mad at that.
My brother paid good money for that shit.
Shout out to the entertainment, but I was pissed.
Shout out to y'all on y'all journey, But that was some bullshit when I was eight years old.
So that's why I said,
you know,
that shit was fake.
I just told y'all
about my experience yesterday
when the motherfucking
ring got punched.
And they wouldn't
need no motherfucking ring.
Bruh.
So shout out to y'all.
And bro,
they,
they,
you know,
educate me about it.
Like,
cause they,
we went to Red and Rumble to see, shout out to them. So, big, bro, they, you know, educated me about it. Like, because we went to Royal Rumble to see.
Shout out to Ziggler.
So, big hoots.
We see somebody.
Who was it that got their head put through the ladder?
Kevin.
Kevin Owens.
Y'all, I about thought he died.
Yeah.
So, that kind of woke me up.
You know what I'm saying?
To say, okay, some of this shit, the majority of it is for real, for real.
This contact is for real.
I mean, now I'm thinking about it.
You say he fell by the force.
You didn't go see no wrestler. You went to go see Darth Vader. Yeah. This contact is for real. I mean, now I'm thinking about it. You say he fell by the force. You didn't go see no wrestler.
You went to go see Darth Vader.
Yeah.
At this point, man, like, that's probably what you saw.
I mean, he just fell like that.
You just couldn't believe your eyes.
You couldn't believe your eyes, man.
You know what I'm saying?
You didn't believe.
Oh, okay.
Is that what probably happened?
It ain't.
Dang, man. Try again, man. You know what I'm saying? No,, they took me to her.
And bro, he a big fan.
You know what I'm saying?
So he helped educate me on the shit.
So I definitely salute what y'all do.
And I always tell people, too, that it's very hard for them to understand about it.
You got to think about like your favorite Hollywood movies,
right?
Like you see fast and furious,
you see all these action movies,
but these action movies they put together,
that's in multiple takes.
Like we out there live,
like one take,
one take.
So if something happens,
like the magic of it is like getting back on course and getting everybody
emotionally involved back into it.
But like,
we go out there on one take,
like we get one take and like, that's what the fans see.
That's it.
You know, like, I compare it to, like, a live movie, but it's, like, one take.
If that makes any sense.
It's definitely a beautiful art to it.
That's what I was trying to tell them.
I'm like, man, it's an art.
Like, I'm playing basketball.
Like you said, you got teammates and whatever,
but you can mess up on a basketball court.
Nobody know because you make a mistake,
but it's, like, viewed on national TV all the time.
Rewind it, rewind it.
That's a tough job, but y'all do a great job at it.
But before we go any further, I watched last night.
Yeah.

Some people you rock with.
Man, I was always the rock, man.
The rock, Booker T, Stone Cold Steve Austin,
The Undertaker, Kurt Angle.
I feel like everybody brought so many different elements
to wrestling that made me like them.
I love Brock.
Like when he first came in,
like the aggression he brought,
he was just a monster.
Just like balling people. And obviously the Hardy Boys, all the aggression he brought, he was just a monster. Just like mauling people.
And obviously the Hardy Boys, all the tag teams
because like everybody brought like different
elements to wrestling and made you feel
something, you know. Even with
basketball and like other sports, like
it's so hard to say
who's your favorite point guard of all time?
Who's your favorite center of all time? Because everybody
had their like pizzazz to it,

For sure For sure The crazy thing about it Is they weren't wrong Cause we was really wild Yeah Hello, up, girl. See that? We turn outcome into income. There we go. No, for sure, for sure.
The crazy thing about it is they weren't wrong because we was really wild.
We are not supposed to be doing that at school.
No, no, no.
I don't think those two words really need to be telling the young gentleman today, you know.
But it was all fun and games.
And it's like, like I said, those are the memories they gave us.
And we're just trying to basically do the same thing now.
For sure.
And just give more memories
but like more memories
in a new form.
Like obviously
times have changed now.
Like, you know,
the world's different
from how it was
when we was watching it.
So just trying to add
to that element now.
That's dope, man.
I wanted to ask y'all
a question, man,
because obviously,
you know what I'm saying,
really be handed
to this wrestling world.
The Travis Scott situation
is hilarious
because he really
stole on Buddy.
So when you talk about
him using the force,
that's the opposite side
of the story.
Nah, bro.
That was,
hey, yo,
that eardrum was messed up.
Yeah.
Bam!
I was like,
damn!
Honestly,
you'd rather be that way
than to be
the force.
The force.
So,
what's that
where C-Post would be like?
That's what they call it
when you return a favor.
So,
you can't do nothing
to Travis Scott.
Yes, you can.
No, you can't.
He eating his ass, bro.
See, look,
this is my problem with Wristler.
I'm going to let him
do his thing.
What?
When shit like that
happen,
like say it happened to y'all.
If Travis
punched the fucking
now let it juice
off your lips
what is you gonna do
for real bro
I mean
you know what I'm saying
if Travis died
you know here's what I would do
you know what I'm saying
I'll make sure I
you know what I'm saying
make a trip to one of his
concerts
and someone when they
feed

right there
I mean hey look

I had to give a receipt back you know what I'm saying a couple one time I had to give a receipt back, you know what I'm saying?
A couple years ago, Braun Strowman had made his return.
You know what I'm saying?
He beat everybody up.
He put me through the announce table.
And then we ended up having to wrestle him again a couple years ago in L.A.
And so that was like one of the craziest moments.
I feel like that WrestleMania was when I hit sticked him.
I mean, trucked his ass.
Smoked him. You got your leg back. Oh, yeah. I got my leg back, bro. Oh, so I trucked his ass. I smoked him.
Oh, yeah, I got my lick back, bro.

Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles,
break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have kept them small.
Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance, you can learn to face
the mountain that is in front of you.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain.
This is the struggle.
This is the thing that's in front of me.
You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month,
a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible
and step boldly into the best version of yourself
to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all.
So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being,
and climb your personal mountain.
Because it's impossible for you to be the most authentic you.
It's impossible for you to love you fully
if all you're doing is living to please people.
Your mountain is that.

Man,
it's like,
gosh,
at this point,
so many,
I would say like when I first got the email after my second trial, because I had a prior
trial in like 2013.
And I was about like, man, maybe like 200, maybe 200 pounds.
And they said, hey, you speak well, but maybe put on some size.
So, man, I took that to heart.
I showed up the next trial, like at least 50 pounds bigger, 50, 60 pounds bigger, just
eating everything massively for like the next year, year and a half.
Ended up having the second trial.
And what's crazy about the second trial is actually when I met Dawkins.
He took me upstairs and it was like me and five other people.
And we were kind of the people from that class that actually got signed.
And just so Lord behold, up in the upper room, they were having a promo class.
And it was actually being ran by Tom, Dusty Rose, that was still there.
And they took us to class.
And I remember right before I walked in there, I'll never forget it.
Dusty Rose was like, hey, just be yourself, kid.
And he sat me down up front in front of the class.
And it was like Kevin Owens and Dawkins was right up there, front row.
And the crazy part about this is, it's like my mom always told me to wear suits when you go to like business or do anything.
And in the morning, I thought promos were in the afternoon.
And I showed my gym clothes and I had my gym clothes and these moccasins on.
So I'm like, shit, man, like I feel like I'm a professional.
I ain't dressed up to the T.
Just so happened they took me upstairs and I sat down with the moccasins and my compression shirt.
And Kevin Owens was like, look, Docs.
He wears house shoes just like you.
You guys will fit well together.
Because Docs everywhere, all the time, wear house shoes, Devo shoes.
He's so chill and everything.
Right now, he got the Gucci's because he's in Vegas.
He had to do it.
Fake.
Fake.
He's all the time.
He's in the picture. No, no. He's not. to do it but he was in the store
he was in the store
he was in the store
he was in the store
he was in the store
he was in the store
but I always remember that moment because that's where
everything started and it just so happened like
the first person I seen accidentally thinking everything was supposed to be in the morning,
afternoon, whatever it was, showing up in moccasins was my brother.
So it's cool.
Yeah.
So I say that's one of the moments.
I got a whole bunch more, but I ain't trying to take up all y'all time and everything.
Man, you good, dog.
I got a couple as well.
Shoot, even, even like because obviously
i tried out before him so started and tried out in 2012 and uh you know like college kid i ain't
got no suits nothing whatsoever bro i'm strictly sweatpants house shoes hoodies all day every day
so i obviously get a tryout i walk in and everybody's dressed up.
So everybody's just looking at me bad as heck.
Like, dang, bro, you ain't got no suits?
I was like, nah, I didn't know I needed a suit.
And then so from that point on, like, obviously,
everybody was just looking at me.
And then I just started, I'm saying, going in there.
They had me to go do stuff in the ring and clown around a little bit.
And they were like, oh, this kid is good.
And, like, I was beating out people with suits.
And I was like, oh, sweet.
This is pretty cool.
And then I wrapped Baby Got Snacks from In Living Color.
And that's how I got hired.
That's when I knew I made it.
That's how you sealed the deal?
Oh, yeah, that's how I sealed the deal.
Shout out to Jamie Foxx.
Shout out to In Living Color, the Way's family you know i'm saying thank you guys
all right now obviously we're gonna fast forward just a little bit now we got the real big big bag
what's like when y'all get that first check y'all first birthday y'all locked in what y'all doing
with that first that first direct deposit man so i went and bought a bible that's the first thing i
did okay i was like man you know what like everything's good a Bible. That's the first thing I did. Okay. I was like, man, you know what?
Like, everything's good for us.
Like, this is the first time, like, we've put in so much time and we feel like, not that we made it, but we're just in a whole different level or time that we were when we first signed.
I remember the first thing I did was, like, buy a Bible and, like, literally put it inside my truck just so I can keep reminding myself each, you know.
Because I bought myself a Bible and I always bought, I always wanted,
like my dream car was a Chevy Silverado. I don't know why.
Some people feel like that's basic,
but I always just wanted a black Chevy Silverado,
bought a Bible and lady put the Bible inside of my, uh,
the middle console and it's still in there to this day.
And just to remind myself in these high points
in life like you know this is where it all is and i was always raised in the church born in the church
and i always humbled myself to know like these great things that happen but
we still can be taken away in any day so just a blessing to myself man that's the first thing i
did really i haven't really bought anything crazy either like i feel like Like I wear You know Gucci, Fendi, whatever it is
It's kind of crazy
I haven't
Yeah, it's kind of crazy

I mean
I mean
I mean you gotta enjoy yourself I mean you gotta got to enjoy yourself
when you're on the road
300 plus days out the year
when you're home
and you want to enjoy yourself.
So you might buy a boat.
A two.
Boat or two.
You might buy a house or two.
You know what I'm saying?
I ain't mad at that.
I mean, yo,
first thing I did.
Yeah.
Paid off Sally Mae.
Okay.
Perfect.
No,
I did.
I did.
Paid off
Sally Mae.
I called.
I was like,
hey,
yeah,
how much I got?
All right,
yeah,
I'll just take care
of all of that
real quick.
They sounded so deflated.
You know what I'm saying?
Because there was a lot of deferments.
I said, yeah, you know what?
Solid man.
No more.
You don't know me no more.
Hey.
And then after that, I went and bought a couple pairs of house shoes.
Yeah, yeah.
A couple pairs of house shoes.
That's a game, man.
Because he was wearing a pair for at least about seven, eight eight years man and like i'll never forget this too like when
we first got signed docs had this toyota camry literally like it probably had like six hundred
thousand and the reason why people say docs is rich because literally docs will keep stuff until
the wheels fall off respect and i remember one time we, this is way before, you know,
the wives and everything we got
involved with now, like we was just getting in from
coming out one night and he was driving that Camry
and like that thing literally
was hopping as it
was getting me to my apartment. It was
skipping. I was like, it was like
I kid you not. I look
over at Doc's, I'm like, bro, you gonna be straight to get
home? He said,
with the dashboard, I'll be alright. I look over at Doc's. I'm like, bro, you going to be straight to get home? He said, with the dashboard,
I'll be aight.
I swear that was the last night
he drove that car.
It made it to his house.
And then like,
I think a couple of days later,
a week later,
you end up getting that
charger after that.
Oh yeah.
You get a charger.
It was funny because like how I got that car was, I mean, it was pretty dope because the person that had that car originally, he was wrestling at NXT.
That was when we lived in Tampa at that time.
It was FCW named Sakamoto.
And he got let go.
So he basically gave me the car for $100.
Dang.
So I bought the Toyota the car for $100. Dang. Dang. So I bought the
Toyota Camry for $100.
And like, that already had like a lot of miles
on it anyway. So then like,
what, that was 2000
or, yeah, 2013.
Yeah. What year was the Toyota Camry?
1990.
Well, how many
miles was on the dash when you bought it?
1998. See, I had an 88
when I was a high school
so that's crazy
20 years later
that's trash
but when it was 30 years
both y'all at home
will get it
for sure
for sure
but listen
like we talk about

cause boy you made
a hundred dollars
stretch didn't you
I was making
a hundred dollars
stretch right then man man you was making a play for stretch, didn't you? Yeah. I was making a $100 stretch right then, man.
Man, you was making a play for financial freedom
because the last thing you want is debt, man.

Yes, sir.
Man, first of all,
shout out to y'all, man. Champions.
Man, but I want to go back. How did y'all get
into wrestling? Because I know both of y'all are superior
athletes before y'all even got in the ring, man.
You talk about your days.
But you ain't no slouch either, boss.
Man, dog. It's weird how I got into business. But you ain't no slouch either, boss. Man, dog.
It's weird how I got into business.
Like, so I played football at Harper College.
I was going there strictly for football because I wanted to go D1.
So, like, I was just focused on that.
It was a juco.
So, I was trying to get my feet wet and, like, get out there and try to go D1.
So, then, obviously, like, a bunch of heavyweights got hurt on the wrestling team
or they either got hurt or they quit.
So the wrestling coach came
and like tried to get me to wrestle.
And when I wrestled in high school,
I had to cut weight to 215.
So I had to, like the last two years,
I missed Thanksgiving.
So like, so yeah.
So like at that point, I was like, man,
I kind of want to eat i ain't really trying
like i was already above uh what heavyweight is 285 i was 295 at the time so i was like nah i ain't
trying to cut weight man like i just want to go home and eat eat some of my mama's cooking you
know i'm saying enjoy joy thanksgiving enjoy the holidays, and I'm good. So he's like, all right, cool.
And so obviously come back, got the bowl game.
We go on Christmas break.
I come back second semester.
Our defensive coordinator at the time drags me to the wrestling room.
He's like, hey, I got your heavyweight here.
And he's like, hey, you ready to wrestle?
And I just looked.
I was like like i guess so
so long story short i joined the team like the second half of the season it was like what two
months left one match away from all american there and that was when uh i met jerry briscoe
and uh jerry briscoe and uh Kelly and Coach Toto,
they were the ones that were like the catalyst in making where I am now,
pretty much.
Like, they were the ones that got my foot in the door because they came up and they was like, hey, yo, yo, Jerry Briscoe's here.
WWE Jerry Briscoe's here.
And, like, at the time, I'm like, man, shut up, bro.
Whatever, dog.
Let me go wrestle real quick.
And so, basically, they was they was like no i'm dead serious
i'm like yeah whatever bro so i go wrestle cough matt sweating tired trying to drink some gatorade
or something and uh jerry briscoe walks i was like hey jerry briscoe from wwe like to talk to
you about getting a tryout and so we talked for a minute like talks like we talked for a minute. We talked for a minute, and like I said, two months later,
I got tired of doing homework.
Yeah.
I locked in.
I got tired of doing homework.
He gave me a tryout, and the rest is history.
I always look at thank Coach Todd or Coach Kelly for that
because if they never got my foot in the door,
hell, uh my defensive
coordinator never took me to the coaches the wrestling room i'm probably not sitting here
right now like how i got in the business was insanely lucky now that i think about it it's
like yo this is crazy like i had no plans of wrestling in college none whatsoever and it's
like i never knew that's where that would take me to this right here you
know what i'm saying that's crazy oh for sure man i i watched it as a kid watching like my entire
life i started watching it like when i was like seven eight years old and then when i graduated
high school um i actually ended up going to the military and so love wrestling everything play
different sports in high school
and actually did wrestling as well.
But once I graduated, I went to the Marines from like 18 to 22.
And while I was in the military, I was just thinking like, man,
I could keep doing the military or I could actually do something that I want to do.
And it's not saying the military wasn't something I wanted to do,
but I felt like I had something else to offer to the world.
With wrestling, I didn't know how to go about getting involved into wrestling.
So after I finished the military, I was looking around at the city I was living
around the time.
I was in California, San Diego, California.
I was looking at the different independent promotions that they possibly have
to possibly get your name out there for wrestling, trying to put on size, train at the same time.
And I remember at the time in 2013, WWE had like a WWE recruit on their website tab. I don't know
if they still have it, but you can submit your videos and your photos and they can possibly
contact you for a trial so i said all right man
like let me try this submitted my name and like lo and behold like maybe seven months later they
contacted me and said hey we want to bring you in for a trial lost my mind lost my shit i was like
oh damn so got ready for the trial did the first trial that i told you all about and like i said
they said you speak well but maybe put on some size so in that whole like
year almost year and a half process like when i say like i ate and i trained and i literally went
to a place where like it wasn't a bad place it was just like i said if i'm not going to get this
opportunity then i want to make sure that when i do this second trial if it's possible they tell
me no at least i know i put everything into providing to make sure that whatever I
need to do to get hired this time,
I've done everything and I can consciously close this dream and go try
something else. Because when I went into the military, the first year I had my
first, my oldest, my son, like he's here this weekend.
My kid's here this week. I have my oldest son.
So like I didn't really have time to like try to figure out like what like what things i want to try in life because you know i got i got miles
to feed and by the time i was finished with military i had all three of my kids so like
everything at that time was like not just taking care of them but like trying to figure out what
i want to do too but when you got babies, you know, time is like, is very limited,
scarce,
because I've never wanted
to stop my cash flow
taking care of my babies.
So like,
like I said,
once military got finished
and I did that
first initial trial
and they told me,
you know,
you speak well,
put on some size.
The whole next year
went all in,
gained the weight,
did the second trial.
I think I came in
like extra like 50, 52 pounds, y'all.
Like, swear.
Just eating.
It wasn't all good weight either.
Like, you know, I had some pizzas, some burgers, some cakes.
Like, it was some meat.
Pause.
You know, so it was.
We appreciate that.
Speaking about that, Have you ever had
Turkey ham before?
Y'all know what it is?
Turkey ham?
Don't worry about ham
Don't worry about ham
You don't want to talk about it?
It's not
It's not turkey ham, bro
It's just sliced turkey
What's
Boy, this ain't
Turkey ham
He trying to disrespect
My mama right now
No, shout out
Shout out to Ma Dukes
But he
Y'all talking about Thanksgiving
And stuff Kind of sparked in my mind.
She was talking about the other day.
He told me eating ham was like smoking cigarettes now.
Don't nobody eat ham no more.
He's out of pocket.
I mean.
But he said even his mom make a turkey that tastes like ham.
No.
So I'm trying to fool him a little bit.
And he said they put pineapples on it.
Oh.
Yeah.
So, you know what I'm saying,
so that's,
you know what I'm saying,
it's up for everyone,
bro.
It's up.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm glad that the Fuse
over there
is the same as God
had on my face.
I don't think I ever
seen you
on the floor
in Turkey.
You want me to ask
y'all about
those solo cuts?
My most important thing, does it taste good? Nah, it's fire, but I ain't think I ever seen an almond for a turkey. You want me to ask y'all about those solo cuts? My most important,
does it taste good?
Nah, it's fire.
But I ain't about to
fool him.
Because I told my mom
about this
and she was like,
when we get back on Monday,
she got something for you.
So I ain't gonna worry
about that.
I just wanted to look
at the reaction
that they,
you know,
you got what you're looking for.
It's up now.
So turkey hair,
that's clearly
some AI shit. I don't think that's clearly some A.I. shit.
I don't think
that's a part of
your plan.
All right.
I'm putting
two different
movies.
No, no, no.
We don't have
too much
stories to list,
but I'm actually
amazed.
That's it.
I was going
to make it a segment.
It's like a hybrid
movie.
Half and half.
That's it. Hybrid movie. It's like the. You can let the best of both worlds.
You know what?
I can't wait.
Look at this seat.
Over here.
And they're going in.
And you're laughing.
All right. I like in. I like this.
I like this.
All right.
Oh,
that's not my man's laughing too.
You know,
we got to go on.
Talking about turkey.
Hey,
bro.
As soon as he said pineapples I was like
that was a care
that was a care
you see that dish
he said it looked just like him
I said you better be careful
what
what
what
anyway Y'all come out with the solo cup
we all used to.
What was that for? What made y'all do that?
Because us hanging out all the time,
all we use is solo cups. We got a show when we go back
home. We drink out of solo cups.
When y'all first came out and I seen y'all, I was like, that's a vibe.
Like, I see what they're doing.
They're making me feel like I'm back in college with it.
They're drinking, throwing them in the air.
They're coming out on the entrance, setting the vibes.
Who made that play?
Who set that up for y'all?
What made y'all go with that?

I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops call this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them.

So it was actually, I was at the house one time and I was talking to my wife, Bianca Belair.
She actually wrestles with the WWE as well.
She got a match this weekend, WrestleMania 2.
Shout out to babe.
Good luck.
But I was in the house one time.
I'm like, man, babe, me and Dawg sneak something that relates to the crowd.
That's something that they can carry,
something that makes them feel like one of us.
Obviously, we share cultures, similarities,
but what's an item or something that they can use?
It's like a gesture.
What's something that's a symbol of a good time?
I was like, man, I think I might go out there
with a red solar cup.
And it's loud.
It's a red solar cup.
And everybody knows what a red solar cup is.
To us, it means a good time.
And like street profits, like what we've always been about is just having a good time.
We're going to still beat your ass, but we're going to have a good time.
That's kind of where the vibes came from.
Like you said, when people have solar cups, they know it's a vibe. It's about to be a good time. That's kind of where the vibes came from. Like you said, when people have solo cups,
they know it's a vibe.
It's about to be a good time.
Yeah, thanks.
I wanted to ask about the music,
because we talked about that.
That's the fire part is everybody hear that music,
they go crazy before they see y'all.
What's that plan in life?
You don't say, all right, this is what we pulling up to.
Y'all got the solo cups in hand,
but this is going to set the tone when we come out.
Banch, dog. I give the shout out tone when we come out. Man, dog.
I give this shout out to Hunter on that one.
Yeah, it was Hunter.
That was Hunter.
Damn.
Yeah, he was like, hey, y'all like the music?
I was like, eh, seems straight.
You know what I'm saying?
And, like, at that point, he was like, but obviously we were like, all right, we're going to be fine.
You know what I'm saying?
But we ain't expected to be like, as soon as that music hit, crowd started just going nuts.
I'm like, oh, snap.
All right, bet.
I was like, as soon as you hear that crowd roar,
you know what I'm saying?
You get that crazy energy.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like, oh, all right.
Well, we got to bring it down.
Now it's up.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, we talk about it all the time.
Like, you know, Hoop,
you know what I'm saying? You out there with your teammates and stuff.
When y'all come down there,
it's y'all.
And that whole arena is just staring at y'all. Yeah playing solo cups what's that vibe like i know that's gotta be
nerve-wracking at the same time you like geeked up because you about to go get to it but all i was
with y'all man that's crazy look i'll say this i it hasn't really happened lately because like
luckily we've been doing this what 12 years now so like i remember when we first got the call up to raw and we went out there
like i never even told him this i was like bro because go out there in the ramp you just see
an arena so it's like oh snap i i got lightheaded there almost passed out and then our first mania
or not the first mania where we were at the performance center uh our first mania like
in front of a stadium that was almost yeah almost passed out there too like that's like you because
you go out there it's like a different view you know what i'm saying you went from watching whoever
was in the ring you went from watching who was ever in the ring to like all eyes are on you so like you come out and you just see and it's just like oh snap like
all right cool like you know what i'm saying this like it gets you pumped at the same time but it's
also like a little nerve-wracking because you obviously want to go out there and put your best
foot forward you know what i'm saying you want to put on the show give something everybody to talk
about and you don't want to mess up when you go out there and like every time you step
in front of the crowd
man it's just unreal
because like
once they're looking at you
all eyes are on you
so you got to make
that impression on them
yeah because we was
talking about
the Royal Rumble joint
I was like
that stage was so long
I said man my nerves
would have fucked me up
I did something
I was like man
that's a different type
of locked in
man
you see what they did
at the Rumble?
Is this what came out
right away?
Yeah.
Yeah, you scared the shit
out of me.
Yeah.
You scared the shit out of me.
You scared the shit out of me.
You scared the shit out of me.
You scared the shit out of me.
You know what I'm saying?
I got this so big, man.
Okay.
So at that point,
we were out for a minute. We're out for a month because like towards the
end of the year like the holiday tour i tore my meniscus so i had to get surgery so i was out for
a minute yeah he was out like we're both out for a minute and so uh i was kind of close to get
coming back at that point in time and uh so they were like hey you know i'm saying y'all gonna y'all gonna interrupt uh the
tag match between motor city and uh diy yeah so obviously but the only problem was i still couldn't
like run yet yeah so like they were like nervous about that so i was just chilling they had me
chill i had like a hoodie i was hiding i was acting like one of the cameramen just chilling
with the crutch right beside me the whole time on So like the ramp, because it's like a lift.
Yeah, it's literally like a lift.
So I was sitting on like one of the guardrails just chilling there the whole time.
I had a mask on.
And I was just laughing the whole time because I'm looking.
I'm like, dang.
Oh, nobody going to trip or fall on this entrance, bro.
Because like that was a long entrance.
But at the same time, I'm like, man, I'm about to whoop these mugs' ass, bro.
I was like, watch this, dog.
Y'all think y'all going to win the tag titles, dog?
Nah, don't watch.
The funny part about it is we were sitting probably right to the right
because we were right by the barricade.
So we just like, oh, shit.
Is this a headbutt?
I felt like y'all was like people running out during the basketball game.
He was like,
was they supposed to do that?
He was like,
security about to fuck this up.
That was a fun time.
Nah, yeah, that was dope.
That was dope.
I gotta ask you,
you know, you do the splash
from way up top.
I mean, you jump. You go up there like, you know, one do the splash from way up top. I mean, you jump.
You go up there like, you know, one of my favorite wrestlers was Eddie Guerrero.
I used to do the frog splash.
And I'm like, when you go up top, you go up there.
And I'm like, that shit got to hurt.
You know what?
Not only does it hurt, but it's scary at the same time.
I'm actually afraid of heights.
So that's why I do the move to like,
try to break my fear of it.
But like,
it's like,
I use it like a,
like how Batman's afraid of bats.
Like,
he afraid of bats.
So like,
I just do the frog splash.
I'm trying to be like,
symbolic right now.
But no,
I use the frog splash
just because like,
I love Eddie,
love Robbie and Dem.
And I feel like, i gotta pay homage to
these guys man like they they've been like you know doing this for so long and like those are
the two guys that like i can't those two dilo brown dilo like the way they done the frostbite
and innovated it like i feel like if i'm doing it now like i gotta like take it to another echelon
like way up there and like i even changed the, take it to another echelon, like, way up there.
And, like, I even changed the name of it to From the Heavens because I wanted to look like I'm literally coming from the heavens.
That is crazy.
Yeah.
I'm like, he really jumping.
Right.
Like, I was like, ain't no way.
Right guy to hurt, bro.
I'm like, ain't no way.
Oh, man.
There was one time I was like, you know what?
I'm going to test how far he can really jump.
Oh, my God.
So, I sky-highed the dude
on the other side of the rig and just walked off.
He just looked at me and he's like,
forever?
I was like, oh.
Hey, you got this, bro.
Usually when he sets the guy down, he's in the middle
of the ring. So he sets the guy
down all the way nearly to the
other side of the ring. It's almost
at the other corner. So I can't yell at him.
Yo, dogs! Bring them closer!
I just look at him like...
Wow.
That's crazy.
I made it. I ain't trying to brag. I made it.
I ain't trying to brag, but I made it, though.
