Man, firstly, as far as how did you get into wrestling, man? Obviously you've been in the partisan industry for a very long time period, OG status. How did you get into this realm, man? Wrestling was no way on my radar, dog.
Starting point is 00:08:18 You know what I'm saying? Like, I just picture me coming out of high school. Now in high school, I was always like the class clown, the entertaining guy. But in high school, man, I was in high school. In high school, I was always like the class clown, the entertaining guy. But in high school, man, I was a show opener for a lot of artists that came through North Carolina, South Carolina. Kwame, Digital Underground, Tracy Spencer,
Starting point is 00:08:36 Cher Brock, all those people. So I'm playing football and all this thing, do my thing, got locked up, man. Couple of times, more than two or three times, man. I met a guy named Jack Crockett in the halfway house. And him and his brother started professional wrestling in the South with Ric Flair, McIntyre, Thoreau, all those guys.
Starting point is 00:08:55 So it's like, he introduced me to professional wrestling, man. I kind of turned him down a couple of times, but I was at the point in my life, man, where I was like, I was ready to get off the streets, just hadn't had kids. I started giving up, started giving it down. You know what I'm saying? You know how you're gonna be having that attitude
Starting point is 00:09:12 or that, you know what I'm saying? I don't give a, you know what I'm saying? But I started caring, dawg, and it was like, I got sick and tired of being sick and tired. So me wanting to be this rap star, man, this big rap legend the whole time, but hitting all these adversities in life, man, and growing up on the streets and doing this and that star man, this big rap legend the whole time, but hitting all these adversities in life man and growing up on the streets and doing this and that man and just being
Starting point is 00:09:31 tired but not knowing what I want to do. But you know that's why I know what it's like to have that confusion of what I want to do with my life man. I'm like 24, 23, 24, 25 years old, back and forth to jail trying to do it on streets, trying to, but I justified it because I was playing for the limos, I was playing for my dancers outfits, I was playing for the studio time, I was like, you know what I'm saying? You was for real. I was for real with it, bro.
Starting point is 00:09:54 I was trying to make something happen, dog. People in my city don't have dancers, it's just them and they buddy DJ. Bro, nah, I was taking care, I was doing it, dog. I was trying to like really move it, man. I wanna be the next MC happening, like then, dog. That's all I'm asking, you said the limo, but he said the dancers, dog. But yeah, but I was giving a, dawg. I was trying to really move it, man. I wanna be the next MC happening back then, dawg. That's all I'm saying. He said to live on, but he said to dance, dawg.
Starting point is 00:10:07 But yeah, but I was giving a show, dawg. It was like, everybody on the rappers back then, what my time was, they stayed, they laying, and I stayed in mine, man. Mine was more like what you see me do now, like entertaining. I like a show, dawg. So, but anyway, back to the story,
Starting point is 00:10:21 got jammed up, man, met Jack Crocker in the halfway house. Now the deputies were trying to get someone to invest in my music career. And they got somebody to invest in my music career, I become a big rap star, and they can get out of the jailhouse and be my personal security. That was the plan.
Starting point is 00:10:36 But they ran into Jack Crockett, and Jack Crockett was like, nah, I think you should do this. And he took me to three WCW shows, and I saw Ric Flair come down the ramp, man, and Crockett's like, see, that could be you. You rapping and you dancing, you getting the ring and you can mix all that stuff you was doing in jail with the wrestling and you'd be the first of your kind and you'd
Starting point is 00:10:53 make money and you'd be investing yourself and you don't need nobody else to invest in you. That's what got me involved with wrestling. Yeah. Damn, that's crazy. It's crazy how that all came through. You take a different route, brother, you get where you want to go to man like like life the universe God minute We got resources and tools I had to use man But we'd be living so fast and life be life enough. We don't take time to like and sometimes we'll get
Starting point is 00:11:18 we hit that brick wall where you have to take time like if some of us don't learn or Pick a better play or choose different, but I did something I never thought about doing professional wrestling. That's crazy and now you get to showcase your music. I wanted the biggest platform. See what I'm talking about? It kind of worked out for me. Never even knew that would happen like that. It's like that's my audience bro. I'm talking about like to be going to be able to go worldwide brother. Had them singing my song. I wrote What's Up in a trailer dog. You know saying like in Tennessee I wrote What's Up dog. I wrote, what's up, in a trailer, dawg. You know what I'm saying? Like in Tennessee, I wrote what's up, dawg.
Starting point is 00:11:47 So it's like to go to Egypt or Poland or Alaska or whatever, and these people singing my song, dawg. It's down there free promo, bro. You won. You won. It's a win. Yeah, it's a win. It's a win.
Starting point is 00:11:59 It's gonna be easy to get there. Yeah. But you just, man, I'm a living testimony for anybody, bro. Yeah. To like. Keep going. Keep going. You know met I'm a living testimony for anybody bro like yeah to like Keep going keep going. Yeah, I'm saying regards to how I look I feel you saying you're gonna you human you're gonna go through it Don't worry about the rain man. Yeah, I like most people like they don't like to get to go through the storm There's nothing I should I learn how to adjust in that mug. You know saying
Starting point is 00:12:21 Keep it moving right now. So man. That's a hell of a story. Cause that song Platinum, like my nephew was, he grew up a wrestling fan. Before you got in here, he was just like, what's up? Yeah. What's up? Like, what's that still like, you coming down the ramp and you leave Gorilla and you come out
Starting point is 00:12:38 and everybody singing your song? Bro, that's like, it's an overwhelming feeling, man. Great to know where I come from with that. Like you telling y'all, man, like me sitting in my studio, in my son's room. I have it like that. So, me writing that song, man, and filling in with a little bit of what I went through with the song. Like a lot of people didn't even heard the, I did look a listening session last night at Cult of Indiv cultural event in New York. And I was letting people know, a lot of people never heard the full version of What's Up,
Starting point is 00:13:10 cause they just see me come out of the ring with the What's Up part. But that speaks about everything I done did. You know what I'm saying? The adversities and being where I'm at and the appreciative I've received from people. And if you listen to the full song of What's Up, it's in there.
Starting point is 00:13:23 I asked a question. Obviously you come out, you geek everybody, you play your music. Vibes is right. How do you stay focused on going to wrestle after that? Because if I walk out to 20,000 people singing my song, fuck with the rest. I'm about to do this live right now. I want to go party, but you still got to stay locked in. I'm locked in.
Starting point is 00:13:41 I'm just giving you part of me before I get in there. OK, you will see the other part of me, you know what I'm saying? It's different levels to us, you know what I'm saying? So it's you locked in, you focused. Same way as Rocco out there or Tinker or Austin. When you hear that, can you smile? He's locked in, he's in the thing, but he's mad when he out there. You know what I'm saying? When you hear that glass break, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:14:01 You stay locked in. What's the hardest part about wrestling though? Like I always wanted to ask on the idea. Right, I would say like, psychology. Yeah, your mental? Well, no, in the ring. Oh. Like you should be, you gotta land in that ring
Starting point is 00:14:18 and know where you at all the time. Okay. I don't care what. Yeah. Telling the story, because these people, these audience, there's people that watch this stuff, man, and keep up with it.
Starting point is 00:14:28 It's a soap opera. Oh yeah, he's. And you, but I'm sure you like, bro, no, that wasn't supposed to happen, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was like. A lot of guys being able to learn and being able to tell that story.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Not just so much as doing moves or wrestling fans have seen it all. When you can have that ring of awareness, that psychology to be able to tell a story. And in the wrestling business we say you never stop learning just like in life. But you never stop learning, you know what I'm saying? All right man, one of our favorite parts of the show,
Starting point is 00:14:58 man, Sean, moments, what's that movement like for you? Obviously you get to wrestling, you find your footing. What's that first moment like? You get that first check I know I know I know responsible. Would you go crash? Are you winning? We're crazy first big boy check Matt first check, but I think I stared at for a while. I don't plan I just stared at for a while man and to come from like hustle on the street man and like doing all kind of like
Starting point is 00:15:22 Street stuff and like doing all kind of like street stuff. Yeah. Forces. Damn, man. Nickel Bags. You know what I'm saying? All of them, right? You know what I'm saying? Damn. You going from my age, then you go to, you know what I'm saying,

Execute it, man, Like, become that moment and like, bro, I just like, I try to execute every chance, every opportunity I get, man, to like, exhale and exhale. And I feel like I rewrote my chapter when I told you, like, trying to be that big rap star to like, go on a different route, to getting with Jack Crockett, to getting into professional wrestling. To now, man, we got this era where like, social media back when I was doing it, there wasn't no social media like that.

So it's like with the music is just taken off because my hardcore fans is now being exposed to my music. So it's like, it's almost like a domino effect, man. Things just, it's lining up now for me. Was it easy for you to adjust to social media when it got to popping?
Starting point is 00:22:30 Oh, hell no, man. No, that's like, bruh, I ain't that old, man. You make it seem like I don't do it when they right with no in the picture foot. Yeah. I'm just seeing you on TikTok doing your thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I know you comfortable now.
Starting point is 00:22:44 I'm just saying, it was initially hit. Did you, you know what I mean Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I know you comfortable now. I'm just saying, it was initially hit. Did you, you know what I mean, was you ready for it? I was ready for it. Okay. But I went back from, you got mail. You know what I'm saying? Like, so yeah, that was definitely cool.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Yeah, bro. You know, I was gonna call Tom. Everybody had Tom at the end. Mosquitos. Mosquitos. Yeah, right? You had your payday traded. Never even met Tom.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Yeah, dog. Yeah. Yeah, bro, but this was my Tom. Mosquitos. You know what I mean to you. Wasquare. Yeah, right? You had your payday. Never met Tom. Yeah, dog. Yeah. Yeah, bro, but it's my Tom. Wasquare, stay. Remember that? Yeah. For tonight, bro, when, what, TikTok is so big now, like, in the pandemic, when I kept, bro, I just,
Starting point is 00:23:15 Matt Hardy, I gotta thank him. Matt Hardy got me into, like, social media. YouTube was a thing first, right? YouTube started, like, and Matt would do these videos and he was like, bro, you should do videos on your music. And I'm like, oh, okay, Matt, you know what I'm saying? Like, Matt was putting me on game with it. And that was before social media was popping like that.
Starting point is 00:23:35 And it just got my interest in my, that became this grind, you know what I'm saying? Like, so I'm like, I need to get into Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, any and everything that's popping up on social media, man. I gravitate to it, man, because that's a way, a direct way of reaching your audience, man,
Starting point is 00:23:53 and just almost like reinventing yourself. So adapting and evolving and just keeping that shit moving, right? Yeah. Can I ask you a question? Being a fan of wrestling growing up, I didn't know the back stories of wrestlers or I didn't know how the nuances of wrestling.
Starting point is 00:24:09 But now having the documentary on Netflix where they talk about what's really going on behind the scenes, letting us know about the refs talking and kind of guiding the matches and things like that, would you ever think it'd get to that point where they let people win like that? Oh, what you mean? As far as knowing- They let people in like that. Oh, what you mean, as far as like knowing? Like they let us in like the fans, like now we know.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Like you know all the scenes where David got in the field and he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, see the rabbit. Yeah. It doesn't bother me though, the fact that like, we know those movies ain't real, right? We know there's a director and they got shit, we know that, but somehow we block that shit out.
Starting point is 00:24:49 And you wanna pick this apart because you know, but still you have to give the ref, the production crew, the producers, there's so many hands and there's so many ingredients it take to make this cake. You see what I'm saying? And when you make that cake, brother, it's like a lot of people can't be executed. And they know. And you know you can be the referee,
Starting point is 00:25:12 but that referee job is so important. The referee is keeping us in queue and stuff. The referee is listening to the truck and that referee is listening to the cameras on there. So how many, how many of us can't walk into a gumball at the same time? You know what I'm saying? And you got to listen to this crowd right here.
Starting point is 00:25:28 So all that is playing an element of everything. So even though everybody's in the know, sometimes people don't know how to, you know what I'm saying? So, but bro like, and then putting the match together. It all bro, like when you put all them grids together, man, everything got to, it got to move on every cylinder. Nah yeah I was telling him about that earlier like how tough it is to put a match together
Starting point is 00:25:50 I'm like man I would forget step B step like man he jumped off the top rope somebody still be over here. Has that ever happened to you? Oh what's that? Where you like kind of jumped off the script or whatever. That happens. Yeah. If we got like a, say we got a 10 minute match, but you gotta put in time for you to go out there, you gotta put in your commercial time, and when you go to commercial, bro, you still working. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:16 You still working. Sometime the match before you might go over, so everything you talked about you gonna do out there, we can squad that, we gotta change that. So you gotta go on the fly. And you got people watching you, and you got the ref telling you, and they telling them, okay, we got like,
Starting point is 00:26:31 tell them we got four minutes. So you got to know exactly what you can do, how you can deliver, execute it in four minutes. You don't wanna go overtime, it's money. So it's like a lot of people can't work under that pressure, and like, you should be able to go with that, it means you be able to go to that ring, and we know where the finish is, and's it bro we're gonna call that out
Starting point is 00:26:47 in the ring. I know what I'll be terrible at wrestling. And the referee is giving you times mm-hmm she's giving you that all she's giving you the time and so you got to like it is or it's a combination stuff that works together you'd be surprised the people that pick it apart like be like, ah man, that figure, what's up with that? A lot of people can't wear them boots, man. That's a fact. I know. Feel me?
Starting point is 00:27:10 They told me to. They told me to. Man, that ass makes up it, it's so crazy. Oh, bro, when I first started, man, I was, when I first started training, that was serious, but I would sit there, go sit down, look at that TV, bruh. And my nose would just start bleeding.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Fuck. Just from like, weeks of training, falling on my back, falling on my back, the roles, the physical aspect of learning the formula. It's a formula to wrestling. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it ain't just no yeah, so it's- Sitting there showing your nose get the bleeding.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Yeah. That's the- That's the thing. It just trickles down, bitch. Yeah. Yeah, dog. Yeah. Yeah, fuck it.

Starting point is 00:45:42 And I'm already in motion up in the air, so I had to come down on one foot. Then I did the back flip. And when I tried to stand, you know, the patella, it was nothing there. I collapsed. Then I tried to stand back up, but you got a, it's a hole right there in your knee.
