Tip Dak Media.
2
00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:09.839
Welcome back, folks to roddle me this.
3
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:12.960
I am really lucky to have with me today the
4
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:17.679
Unified Championship Heavyweights Champion Big Gun. Thank you for joining
5
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:17.960
me today.
6
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:23.199
Big Gun, First of all, ain't she sweet? It's a
7
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:24.960
beautiful one.
8
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.640
I believe you won. That's in May twenty twenty five
9
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:30.519
when you beat Mark Morales for the title and you've
10
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:31.519
held it ever since.
11
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:33.159
How does that feel?
12
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.600
It feels like I've been undefeated for a long time.
13
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:37.520
You certainly have.
14
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:40.399
Do you remember much about that match? Anything noteworthy?
15
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.840
Well, it was a lot easier than I thought, a
16
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:44.439
lot easier.
17
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.039
Okay, what you thought he was going to be stronger
18
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:47.600
and he wasn't.
19
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.640
Yeah, Well, when you got the largest natural guns and
20
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:56.280
zilla wrestling, not always jokers can hang with Big Gun
21
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:57.799
fair enough.
22
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:00.640
So how long have you rested a big Gun?
23
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:08.120
Big Gun has been wrestling for ten years? Decade? Yeah?
24
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:09.319
So who trained your Big Gun?
25
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:14.120
Who trained Big Gun? I trained me obviously, but for
26
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:21.040
pro wrestling, my trainers were Aaron Hasty, Checks Casey aka
27
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.319
Little Cam and Hustler.
28
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.239
Shout out to those guys. What made you want to
29
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.599
become a wrestler in the first place. Look at me,
30
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:35.719
you didn't have a lot of place.
31
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:39.519
That or male model. So yeah, you.
32
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:40.799
Could probably still do a little bit of that now
33
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:41.359
if you wanted to.
34
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:42.680
I totally agree.
35
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:44.079
Yeah, So if there's anyone.
36
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.959
Out there, give us a call and we could arrange that.
37
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:53.280
I think you think easy.
38
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:54.799
Whether they can afford you, I guess it is the
39
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:57.840
only roadblock. I could see you coming in there. I
40
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.120
like you, I like where you're going here sounds good.
41
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.599
So the Marke Morells was an easy match. What about
42
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:07.879
the hardest match of your career? What's that been so far?
43
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:13.560
The hardest match in my career was probably Canine?
44
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.120
What made it so difficult facing Canine?
45
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:25.000
Because Canine strong, he's athletic, he's good, he's experienced, technically proficient.
46
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:30.199
But I still beat him manly on physicality.
47
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:31.479
Yeah was that?
48
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:33.520
Did you pin him? What did you make him tap out?
49
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:34.039
For that match?
50
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:36.960
I gave him the order pump handle, slam.
51
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.800
Hard to come back from that one, very difficult. What
52
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.319
do you think was it that gave you the edge
53
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:42.960
over Canine?
54
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:43.120
There?
55
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.319
Was it your superior muscles or did you find it
56
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:48.240
out Cunningham.
57
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:52.319
Cunning muscle just out him.
58
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:53.159
Outclassed him in every way.
59
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:54.879
Thank you.
60
00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:00.759
Right, So, what would you say has been your favorite
61
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:02.039
match of your career so far?
62
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.800
My favorite match in my career. It was a long
63
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:12.120
time ago. It was against a very young now SPW
64
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:17.759
champion called Sky. It was his debut singles match and
65
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.800
it was a pretty pretty good match.
66
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.759
That's cool guy, Sky, He's pretty cool. This is the
67
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.400
same guy we're talking about that. Yeah, yeah, okay, what
68
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.479
was it about that match that you enjoyed so much?
69
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:30.759
Was it because he's a lot you could sort of
70
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:31.479
throw him around?
71
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.280
Yeah, yep, and he's very talented.
72
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:35.800
Yeah, right on.
73
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.680
What would you say is the most painful move that
74
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:40.719
you've ever been hit worth?
75
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:45.639
Painful move? I've been hitworth as a powerbom and landing
76
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:46.120
on my head.
77
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:48.960
That'll do it. Do you remember who delivered the power bomb?
78
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.479
Yes? I keep it.
79
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.319
Playing your cards close to your chest there, I could
80
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:54.879
respect that.
81
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:56.280
I could respect that.
82
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:02.360
What is your favorite type of non traditional singles match,
83
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:04.360
like maybe a triple three or a tables leaders and
84
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:05.280
chairs that kind of thing.
85
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.599
Well, when you're an aesthetic adonis like me, you don't
86
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:15.439
need tables, gimmicks and stuff. So single, single or most
87
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.680
triple threat. Yeah, which I won the last show.
88
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:20.040
By the way, you did.
89
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.480
You did pretty easily against two guys hundred fifty kilos.
90
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.360
I'm a merely one of fifteen kilos, but I was
91
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.160
still able to manhandle those big boys.
92
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.920
That was it was Kai Solomon and Chalky Murdock. You
93
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.480
went on there both did They teamed up on you
94
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.639
at one point? I remember seeing that. Yep, they kind
95
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.279
of had like a handshake agreement and they both went
96
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:41.639
after you.
97
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:43.959
But well, what would you do in that situation?
98
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.279
I guess you don't have much of a choice, right,
99
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.160
You've got to take what advantage you can get. Yeah,
100
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:51.680
so then you probably don't eve an answer for the spit.
101
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:53.879
So do you prefer tables, letters, or chairs?
102
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:55.920
Thistle?
103
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.600
A lot uses a weapon?
104
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:02.480
Weapon in the ring? Sir? Please? They made me fix again. Okay, sorry,
105
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:03.519
I do need a weapon.
106
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:04.240
You are the weapon.
107
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:06.279
Oh do we flex for it? Okay?
108
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:13.199
Look at that, that's the thumbnail right there. I think, So,
109
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.319
how do you feel when you're standing across the ring
110
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:18.160
from a really strong opponent?
111
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.720
I think, Wow, I'm a lot stronger than this guy.
112
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:22.879
That's how I feel.
113
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:24.560
That's a good way to think of that guy thinks
114
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:25.000
he's strong.
115
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:26.839
He's in a world.
116
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.879
Yeah, so they don't know how strong you are, and
117
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:31.000
they're about to learn.
118
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:33.800
They're going to learn, yeah the hard way.
119
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:34.839
I like that.
120
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:39.879
So what know they but they they learn pretty quickly.
121
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.639
What are your Either you have one signature move or
122
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.399
several signature moves? What are your your signatures?
123
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:52.680
Well, pump, handle, slam, and now I've got the oh Nelson.
124
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:57.399
Look, that's a relatively new addition to your move set,
125
00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:57.920
is that right?
126
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:00.959
Yeah? What of your game?
127
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:03.000
I look, I'm a fan. I'm a fan first. I've
128
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:08.040
been watching since of course, yeah, naturally. I think my
129
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.240
first show was probably the Stampede three years ago. I
130
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:13.519
saw Nico Dandy.
131
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:14.360
I think won that.
132
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.000
It was a good, good stampede that Sorry if you
133
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:18.920
were in that stampede, I'm.
134
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.879
Not sure that is, but congratulations to them.
135
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.439
Yeah, well you know, and now what is it that
136
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:27.839
just had you decide to start to add the full
137
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.560
nelson to your to your arsenal?
138
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.000
Well, I was getting sick a slam on these big
139
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.240
guys on your back, and I thought how else can
140
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.800
I make them suffer? And also I'll defend my guns
141
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:39.879
unbeating them Yeah.
142
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.360
It's also a kind of economic decision that you don't
143
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.199
have to strain your back as much. You know you can.
144
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:48.120
You can sort of conserve your conserve your muscle power there, which.
145
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:50.399
Is yeah, and it gives me two ways away.
146
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.279
That's true. Yeah, you've put away one person of it
147
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:54.639
so far. Are you going to be aiming for that
148
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:55.439
in your next match?
149
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:58.839
I'm not aiming for it. I'm going to be doing it.
150
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.000
You're going to do it. Okay, you heard it here
151
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.879
first Believe Achieve very nice. Did you come up with that?
152
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.000
Yeah? I wrote that really Wow?
153
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:07.720
I like it.
154
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:12.800
A faism, a bit of a artist, a warrior poet
155
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:17.800
even Yeah, right e jecked Jack. I like that.
156
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.959
Maybe that's your next T shirt design? So what is
157
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:23.959
your career highlights so far?
158
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:24.839
Is it winning this?
159
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.560
My career whole lights? Of course? Winning this beautiful beauty?
160
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.480
Ain't she sweet? Look at it? She's siny? Look at it?
161
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:35.560
Uc W.
162
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.079
Was this your first time winning the heavyweight championship, the.
163
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:42.600
Main headweight championship? Useable?
164
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:44.759
So you've been you've been thinking about this for ten
165
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.040
years and you finally made it happen this year. What
166
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:47.680
does that feel like?
167
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:55.879
I felt like home. Yeah, right on home, you know
168
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:56.319
what I mean?
169
00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:58.879
Well, I wouldn't know what it looks like to win
170
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.600
a title this, but I obviously I can certainly imagine.
171
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:02.879
So yeah, I appreciate that.
172
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:05.639
I felt like it was ten years in the way.
173
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:07.839
Yeah, you've been building up to us for ten years.
174
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:11.040
Yeah, building help that blah blah blah you call.
175
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:13.560
You can call it whatever you're like, right, and you're
176
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.560
going to try and hold onto it for ten years.
177
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.800
I won't try hold onto it, will hold on to it. Yeah,
178
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:26.439
obviously I can appreciate that. I know you would. Yeah. Yeah.
179
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.639
And of course, what do the fans mean to you?
180
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.759
Which way do you do you.
181
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.080
Like having them supporting you or maybe doing you? Do
182
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:39.799
they mean anything to you? Or do you notice the
183
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.600
fans when you're out there that kind of thing?
184
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.279
Well? I noticed when I flix with them and they
185
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:48.799
look at me, I's like wonder and awe, whow how
186
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.039
big and check this guy is? Yeah? Wow, one day
187
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:53.879
I would love the lord of that guy.
188
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.879
And they look like the heaber's rugged good looks and
189
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:04.240
also has brood big broad shoulders and is six foot
190
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:04.960
three high.
191
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.080
That's that's that's a hard thing to achieve. Do you
192
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.759
think it's possible for the average fan to put in
193
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:11.639
the work and look like.
194
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:20.000
You, hey, hey, thank you, thank you. But Gun hasn't
195
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.039
laughed at hard in a long time. You're welcome.
196
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.440
I am a comedian, so at least I'm at least.
197
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:26.840
I'm doing my job there, at least one of us does.
198
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:27.320
Yeah.
199
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:30.480
Well, you know, let's talk about some dream matches. So
200
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:32.720
if you would look at the whole of New Zealand
201
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:34.679
wrestling at the moment, with all the active wrestlers, who
202
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.360
would you most like to lock up with them?
203
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:41.440
Yeah? A dream match? Yeah, I think I am there.
204
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:43.000
Dream Ah.
205
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:44.799
So you're sitting at the top of the mountain and
206
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:45.840
you're there's.
207
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:50.159
No saying, my friend, he holds the gold, holds the
208
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:55.320
rules in the golden role, he who makes the gold.
209
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:57.080
Here's the rules.
210
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:57.879
I see.
211
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:00.080
So you're not worried you take on anybody?
212
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.799
I look shock, No, not at all, exactly.
213
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:08.720
Okay, So then what about if I.
214
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:10.840
Know a bit nervous, been around me a little bit. Yeah,
215
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:11.399
it's okay.
216
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.200
I've seen you in the ring. We're You've been very
217
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:17.679
generously times so far, and I've seen you, but I
218
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.240
didn't realize how big you are into a Sillian person,
219
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:23.639
and folks, it is impressive. He is a broad man.
220
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.519
You are intelligent, young man. Thank you, thanks nice too,
221
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:29.320
Thank you.
222
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:31.240
I appreciate that.
223
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.279
So then if we expand it to worldwide, is there
224
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.480
anyone that you would think maybe is a dream? Metry
225
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:39.639
you're still looking at it like you've got to come
226
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:41.039
here to New Zealand, you're going to you're going to
227
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:41.759
face big.
228
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.879
Gun, face big gun. But I look at things day
229
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:48.639
by day. I don't think big, big, long term projections,
230
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.679
small sense day by day. So you're not thinking that
231
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.440
was a mile journey begins with a single step, right,
232
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:01.080
so the modify changed, a big massive bicep begins with
233
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.720
a small Busyet it does. Yeah, I see, I'm a part.
234
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.919
You just don't know it there it is.
235
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.399
So then what if we expand this even further and
236
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:14.519
said if there was potentially a wrestler's not alive with
237
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.159
us anymore, if you could lock up with them and
238
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.120
they're prime, is there anybody you think, man, the a
239
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:18.960
hell of a match.
240
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.879
Look it with a prime hell of a match not alive.
241
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:25.679
Or maybe they're you know, there might be a live
242
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:29.399
but not live, not for you, what did wrestler? Do
243
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:29.960
you want to fight?
244
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.639
Dead wrestler? I like to fight, yeah, I like the
245
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:37.320
ultimate woror's intensity. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
246
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.120
There would be a lot of muscle in the ring, there,
247
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:39.639
wouldn't it.
248
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.720
Yeah, well, a lot of natural muscle on one side
249
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.519
and a lot I can't say it on his behalf.
250
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.799
We're not making any claims here, but oh I am
251
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:51.919
so yeah, fair enough. I think that'd be a good match.
252
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:53.279
I'd like to watch that as well.
253
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.240
I guarantee I got to be in the cardio than him.
254
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.320
Yes, I think I think you've got him there. So
255
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:01.759
then we're going to talk about music a little bit.
256
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.159
If you could have any musical artists, a band or
257
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.679
an artist out there creates a new entrance track for you,
258
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:10.919
Who would you like to do that for you?
259
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.559
I would like Billy Idle all right, yeah.
260
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.120
Any particular like what what kind of things do you
261
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.120
think Billy idols should sing about?
262
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.879
And that theme song just a bit jacked? I am?
263
00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:28.039
How great, I am, How tall I am, How I'm
264
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:28.679
a champion?
265
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.279
Sounds like a good thing. Real recognizes real, Yeah, he
266
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.000
knows that, he knows that he's watching. He's a big
267
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.200
fan of this show, So shout out to you, Billy.
268
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.519
Hey Bill, let's make it happen. You know, Hey Billy,
269
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:44.200
it's my boy. Yeah, rock the cradle.
270
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:45.399
Love it is.
271
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.039
So what's your favorite thing about being a wrestler?
272
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.480
My favorite thing about being a wrestler is show there
273
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:55.159
a show.
274
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.879
Do you have any like rituals on the day leading
275
00:12:58.960 --> 00:12:59.519
up to the show?
276
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:04.320
Rachels give me example of an erection.
277
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:08.559
Maybe you you know, you'll do some some stretching or
278
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:10.879
some warming up. You might have a particular food you
279
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.679
like to eat for a show. You might get a
280
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:15.399
coffee and energy drink that kind of thing.
281
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.000
Coffee energy drink, to be fair, Yeah, probably be healthy.
282
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.480
So yeah, I don't think. Well, I do allow myself
283
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.159
one simple pleasure just on the day as I wrestle,
284
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:27.960
A simple candy.
285
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:33.759
Coke yep, full sugar, full sugar. Wow, that's when you're
286
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:36.559
taking seriously there. Does that provide you with a little
287
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:39.600
bit of extra energy to go in there?
288
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.120
It does, right, because I never have any sugar. Yeah,
289
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:44.240
but in sugar hits me hard.
290
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:46.639
Yeah, I suppose it would do. A single can of coke,
291
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:49.600
single candy coke. Do you kind of look forward to that.
292
00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:51.360
You know, you wake up for a match to anything.
293
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.759
Not long until I get to enjoy a refreshing can.
294
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.639
Not long until I enjoy a refreshing can, and then
295
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.159
not long until I enjoy being someone. Yeah, defend of
296
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:03.519
the belt.
297
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:05.480
It's a lot to look forward to usn't they?
298
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:06.240
You're telling me?
299
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:10.080
I imagine you're probably dieting pretty pretty seriously, getting in
300
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:13.480
shape for wrestling and stuff. Do you have a favorite
301
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:15.639
cheat meal that you ever allow yourself to have?
302
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:17.679
Explain to me a cheat meal?
303
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:21.159
Okay, so for us people who aren't in shape, we
304
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:24.080
like to have things like pizza or hamburgers, maybe some
305
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:27.039
ice cream and things like that, and we call it
306
00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:29.399
a cheat meal because you're you're cheating on your diet,
307
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:31.639
so it's not a constant you've experienced before.
308
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:36.399
Well, Ollie, little kid is in a little behind the
309
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:38.799
scenes knowledge A big gun. Big guns are.
310
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:42.480
Vegetarian, really right? What are your sort of what are
311
00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:44.720
your favorite protein sources? Being a vegetarian?
312
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:47.159
Well way protein and eggs? Right on?
313
00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:50.279
Yeah, okay, I didn't know that a bit, big gun.
314
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:53.080
We learned something new today. How good you would have thought?
315
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.120
This big dude's a big meat eat right.
316
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.720
I'm gonna be honest. You you look like a fan
317
00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:59.120
of steak or something like that. But was there a
318
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.360
reason for that, Like, did you find it was more
319
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.399
efficient to become a vegetarian.
320
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.399
I don't want to go into Okay, I can appreciate
321
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.960
that I may not like him as too much, but
322
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:11.679
I do love animals.
323
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:13.720
Yeah, that's that. We can all get behind that.
324
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:16.039
So this next question, I was going to say, what
325
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:17.559
are your goals for the next year, but you said
326
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.399
you're thinking just small steps to create big steps, so
327
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:21.600
we can probably skip that one.
328
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:24.960
Well, goals next year is just hold on to this.
329
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:29.759
Yeah, and but you said that you're you are definitely
330
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:31.399
going to do it, right. It's not a it's not
331
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:36.840
a maybe, it's a certainty, right, And really you've got probably,
332
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:39.679
let's say you hold on so you've got maybe six
333
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.799
startled defenses next year or something like that the amount
334
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:44.759
of shows. So yeah, that's that's a good goal to
335
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.120
have for the next year. How would you like to
336
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:48.559
be remembered as a wrestler?
337
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:52.279
Remembered as a wrestler, I would like to be a
338
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:58.519
guy who's obviously jacked natural and didn't get his big
339
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:01.440
breaks straight. Away. Yeah, to work for ten years.
340
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:05.279
Yeah, ten year of a night success, right, yeah. Yeah.
341
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.759
And so we've got another match coming up.
342
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.440
You are going to be an a.
343
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:15.519
Champion versus champion match at the Southern Stampede. That's happening
344
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:20.080
on the fourteenth of February allegedly. Allegedly, Yes, we've heard
345
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:23.200
the rumors. I did the poster for it. You're going
346
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:28.039
to be facing off against Metattack. Who is them? He's
347
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:30.240
the light heavyweight champion at the moment. What are your
348
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:38.840
thoughts on Metattack? He's good? Yeah, no, no, nothing else.
349
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.039
You want to for a rookie to be a fair
350
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:41.799
he's pretty good.
351
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:44.600
He's pretty good. Yeah, he beats who do you take
352
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:46.799
the title? He took it off Karl Kopa, didn't he Yeah.
353
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:49.039
He had to throw everything in the kitchen sink at him.
354
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:51.399
Yeah, amazing, you have to throw at me.
355
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:53.919
He's going to have to throw a lot at you
356
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:55.399
to keep your shoulders on the mat.
357
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:59.879
I would say his chances a slim, yeah. Yeah.
358
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.240
And if you were to, like, let's say, if we
359
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:05.200
just pointing out the camera now and you could send him.
360
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:07.480
I'm having him on the show in about a week,
361
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:09.839
so you could maybe send him about that.
362
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:11.359
Sorry, look, you know.
363
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.599
We got to make that with well, you know, desperate
364
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.039
times called for dism It's quiet over Christmas. So if
365
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:20.960
you were going to send a message to mad Attack
366
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:23.839
before your match, what would you like to say to
367
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:24.319
mad Attack?
368
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:28.319
Now, I'd say, Matt, stay in your lane, little brouh,
369
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:32.880
stay in your lane. You're a light heavyweight. Oh my
370
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:38.319
hit super heavyweight, stay in your lane, son, And also,
371
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:40.799
had the weights, would you.
372
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:43.200
Hit the weights?
373
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:49.680
Hit the weights? Man met attack, meda tech, Mada tech,
374
00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:54.920
Mada tech. Not behind him.
375
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:56.319
Yet, give a time.
376
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:01.359
I suppose the the heavyweight versus light heavyweight matchups should
377
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:03.759
be interesting. You're obviously going to have the sort of
378
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:05.799
weight and kind of power advantage there. Do you think
379
00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:08.599
he's going to be looking to use some speed and
380
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.039
agility to get you off your feet that kind of thing.
381
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:12.920
I think I try and overpower me.
382
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:13.680
He's in overpower.
383
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.400
No, obviously speed, yeah, yeah, but I.
384
00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:18.720
Mean he might try. You know, maybe he could.
385
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:20.799
He doesn't look too bright, so he might try.
386
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:22.359
He might come at your head off like that.
387
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:25.480
Yeah. Yeah, wouldn't be surprised. No, is he the first
388
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:27.960
little guy to try to do it? No? Yeah, Is
389
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:30.000
he the first big guy to try do it and lose? No?
390
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.200
Yeah, do you have any kind of are you going
391
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:34.839
to be doing anything?
392
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:38.000
Matt?
393
00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:39.759
Are you going to be doing it?
394
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:42.480
Don't do it, bro, don't do it. Don't do it.
395
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:45.720
So if he wanted to forfeit, now you would accept,
396
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:47.519
You'd say that's that's all right and you just have
397
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:49.880
a note off or would you what would you?
398
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:50.160
Well?
399
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:52.839
Yeah, well that's that comes to the end of all
400
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:53.359
my questions.
401
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:53.960
I've got there.
402
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:56.440
Thank you for giving up some time in your busy schedule, big.
403
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:58.680
Gun, anything else, got off the cuff?
404
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:02.799
Anything else? Let's see what else could we could we
405
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:06.440
ask about? Yeah, I know you've been very open with me.
406
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:12.319
I appreciate that. Your favorite Kiwi summer activity? What do

00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:13.720

I like to work out? Yeah?

00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:19.640
Yeah, So you take no days off generally, you don't

411
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:22.920

412
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:26.039
I stopped training for six months.
413
00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:29.079

I can first earlier this year.
420
00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:44.960

competitors though, that.
422
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:49.599

Ecstatic? Look that I got.

Yes, you won that at the Wrestlemers just a month
476
00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:37.519
or so ago, and you beat.
477
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:38.519
Color Cooper for that.
478
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:41.880
How did that feel finally pinning Color?

I want to get him more?
480
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:45.359
Yeah, yeah, you want to run about is.
481
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:47.160
There's more business to be done with that man in
482
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:52.240
the future, But as it stands for Wrestlemers, pretty damn satisfying. Yeah.
483
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.000
Absolutely, congratulations. So you were telling me just before it
484
00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:58.119
was about a year in your career. You've got the
485
00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:00.640
tag titles at Wrestlmers. Is exactly what? And then another
486
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:04.440
year you got the light heavyweight championship. So keep your
487
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:07.000
eyes on Mad Attack. Who knows what's going to happen
488
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:09.440
at the next rest of us right, who knows?
489
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:12.279
Got some big plans. So we've got some questions for
490
00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:16.559
you here. You've been wrestling for how long now officially
491
00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:21.119
professionally with unified one year, one year, one year, one month,
492
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:24.960
look at that. And who was your trainer? The trainer
493
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:28.839
was Mark Morellish on the show. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
494
00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:30.640
c qRT boys brought me in and showed me a
495
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:32.759
thing or two. Yeah, he took over from the the
496
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:35.119
big stuff and then Ruth's history.
497
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:35.640
Yeah, I know.
498
00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:38.559
He definitely has made me run the ropes a little
499
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:43.160
bit as well. So that yep. And what made you
500
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:44.720
decide to become a wrestler.
501
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:47.960
I wanted to get in the ring, Yeah, I wanted
502
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:50.400
to get in there and scrap. I wanted to show
503
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:52.440
everybody what I what I could do, what mad attack's
504
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.000
worth and if they get's starting to work out.
505
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:57.680
Evidently, So that's how i'd argue. With the results we've
506
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:00.400
got here, what would you say so far? Like you said,
507
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:02.319
it's only been a year, but you've had several matches.
508
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:04.759
What was the hardest match that you've had in your career?
509
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:04.880
So?
510
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:07.519
How was it with Carl or was there something else?
511
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.960
You had some pretty vicious matches with Braxis if I remember.
512
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:14.039
Had some painful matches with Braxist. He certainly taught me
513
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:16.799
a thing or two. I would probably say the cheers match.
514
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:19.759
That was probably that was probably the hardest match. Yes, yeah,
515
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:24.079
that's yeah. Carl was definitely a formidable opponent. Ye. Rough
516
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:26.960
Guts was a good one. Yeah that's right. Yeah. Yeah.
517
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:30.680
They taught me to humble myself here too. Ah yeah, Rough.
518
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:32.720
Guts is a little bit of a key wrestling legend, isn't.
519
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:35.720
He sure is, I'm sure, And he certainly showed me
520
00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:37.279
a thing or two that I had no idea of.
521
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:40.000
Yeah, so yep. They must have been exciting getting in
522
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:40.720
him with the legend though.
523
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:43.799
I'm grateful. Yeah, I'm very grateful for it. Nice.
524
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:46.759
I remember seeing his name. I've been watching for a
525
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:48.920
while since this sort of high school. I remember seeing
526
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:50.200
his name around. So yeah, it's cool.
527
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:52.799
But he's still going Yeah, no, he's going hard, brilliant.
528
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:57.519
Yeah, absolutely. What would you say the most painful move
529
00:24:57.640 --> 00:24:58.759
you've ever been hit with is?
530
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:01.640
I can just tell you that the cheer shots probably
531
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:04.720
the most painful thing that I've had. Yeah, absolutely, the
532
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:06.519
rest of the night after that one, Yeah, nothing like
533
00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:07.200
a good old chair.
534
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:14.000
Have you competed in a lot of non traditional singles matches,
535
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.240
things like chairs matches, maybe cage matches, that kind of thing.
536
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.079
Not to date, not to date. I've had a lot
537
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.319
of history wrestling, just not professionally. I can get very messy.
538
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.960
Yes, absolutely, Which type of those matches are you most
539
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:32.480
looking forwards to competing?
540
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:35.880
And I want to do a TLC match.
541
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:40.319
That leads very nicely into my next question, which is
542
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:43.039
what is your favorite out of tables, letters, and chairs.
543
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:47.559
I think everyone knows the damn tables, the tables, the
544
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:49.640
damn tables because I don't like those cheers.
545
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:55.200
No, yeah, I think once, but and twice chairs and
546
00:25:55.680 --> 00:26:01.160
I don't really remember it, but yes, the.
547
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:02.559
Neutral on letders then, Oh, I mean I can go
548
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:04.359
up and down letters? Yeah, I can jump off.
549
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:04.799
And you do?
550
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:05.720
You do? Okay with that?
551
00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:08.319
Quite a few top ropes sort of maneuvers in your
552
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:09.279
your arsenal.
553
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:10.799
There can do the thing we'll do. Yeah.
554
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:13.759
How did you decide to start using the you know,
555
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:15.160
we could call it the six one nine or the
556
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:17.960
tiger faint keck? What was Because you're quite a you're
557
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:21.279
quite a long guy, and people might not immediately think
558
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:23.039
that's a move you're going to whip out. How did
559
00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:24.039
you decide to start using that?
560
00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:30.799
I wanted to do it. Yeah, that's what meta tech
561
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:32.920
does it just comes along and wants to do something,
562
00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:36.039
I'll do it, all right, kids and that and just
563
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:36.359
like that.
564
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:39.279
Yeah, how long had you been chasing this start off for?
565
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:42.000
Did you have any matches with Karla beforehands?
566
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:45.599
Nope, I haven't had any matches with Corlor. That was
567
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.119
the first time we met in the ring. But I
568
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:50.279
have been chasing this belt the moment. I saw it
569
00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:53.519
before I got into Unified. Yeah, as a fan on
570
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:55.640
the outside, I saw that, and I'm going to come
571
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:55.920
for that.
572
00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:00.680
Yeah, I think I'm remembering back when I started watching Unify.
573
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:05.279
It's my friend Elliot Samuels. I watched him chase after
574
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:07.599
this one here, had some good matches for it, And yeah,
575
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:10.200
I've always liked the light heavyweight championship.
576
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:14.920
Elliott was the title holder at the time. I decided
577
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:16.759
I need to go on the change and shut up.
578
00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:18.559
Do you ever feel like you'd be interested in locking
579
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:20.799
up with Elliott? I'd lock up with you one minute,
580
00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:24.279
lock up with anyone anybody. When you were preparing to
581
00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:26.640
face car Or what were some of the things you
582
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:29.000
did to get ready for that match?
583
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:34.359
Stay away from Archie, that is the other guy's a
584
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:38.079
cheeky little little buggery and yeah, I see. If I'm
585
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:39.799
going to be healthy, I'm going to stay away from
586
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:42.839
everyone and everything and just focus on color. Yeah.
587
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:45.039
Did you ever think about bringing some back up and
588
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:46.799
CEQRT with you to the ring or was the thing
589
00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:47.359
you want to handle?
590
00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:52.480
Man? C QRTV disappointed me beyond belief. I'm not really
591
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:55.240
associating with those guys anymore. I've got bigger fish to
592
00:27:55.279 --> 00:28:00.279
fry now and a responsibility to hold, so CQRT are
593
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:04.240
very unreliable. Yeah, we saw. I did not want to
594
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:06.480
have them get into the ring, especially when I can't
595
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:08.720
deal with their own title holding. Yeah, we saw.
596
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:11.960
We saw a bit of a meltdown, I think at
597
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:14.079
the end of the last rest of my show, and
598
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:16.720
I had wondered myself, what's what's going to happen to
599
00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:17.440
seek you out too?
600
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.359
Then? Yeah, well that was the final straw for me.
601
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:21.160
There was a final straw for me. They knew that
602
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:23.400
I had a title fight. I told them just pull
603
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:25.640
their heads in and behave themselves. I told them, you're
604
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:28.599
going to lose the belts. They did. I was there
605
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:32.119
to try and pull them off each other straight into
606
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:35.680
that car gets me with a spear from my title fight.
607
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:38.960
I didn't even have an entrance. I had to I
608
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:40.960
had to go on and rescue the damn children. Yes,
609
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:43.039
you started the match off the back of that, didn't you.
610
00:28:43.319 --> 00:28:47.200
Yes? Wow, well well done for winning the pissing.
611
00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:47.400
Me off now?
612
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:52.960
Okay, yes, sorry? How do you feel when you're standing
613
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:54.799
across the ring from a really strong opponent?
614
00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:58.160
I wonder how he's feeling standing across the ring staring
615
00:28:58.160 --> 00:28:58.400
at me.
616
00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:03.720
Oh so we spoke a little bit about this before.
617
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:07.759
You hit Carla Cooper with quite a spectacular move to
618
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:09.759
end that last match. Have you thought of a name
619
00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:12.960
for it at all? In between now and then, anything.
620
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:15.079
With Matt in it? Anything, anything that attacking it, hit
621
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:17.960
the mat, yeah, hit the mad attack Yeah yeah, I
622
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:20.039
think the attack driver with the attack driver, it's not
623
00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:20.920
a bad name for it either.
624
00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:25.960
Yeah. How did you decide? Well, I guess did you
625
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:27.319
know that was going to be the move that ended?
626
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:29.079
How did you decide on using that move? Was it
627
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:30.640
just something you felt in the moment?
628
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:35.319
So I got him with a swanton, and I know
629
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:38.119
car was tougher than that. So I hit him with
630
00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:40.799
another swanton yep, And I know Carl was tougher than that,
631
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:43.279
so I don't want to take my chances. I picked
632
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:47.160
a disass up and I dropped Dias down. Yeah, and
633
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:49.839
I got the one two three. So it was all
634
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:52.400
about making sure that I'd got the job done. Yeah, yeah,
635
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:55.279
because I wanted to walk home with that. Yeah. Yeah.
636
00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:57.480
I remember sitting in the crowd watching that match and
637
00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:00.759
it seems like, yeah, you really, you through everything. You
638
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:02.359
hated him, and there was enough to keep him down,
639
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:03.799
keep him down.
640
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:04.359
Yeah.
641
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:06.359
Just haven't got this written down, but I know you
642
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:08.599
sort of covered in tattoos and stuff like that. I
643
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:11.279
imagine you're pretty into the local music scene a little bit.
644
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:14.359
Yeah, play a little bit, play a little bit. I
645
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:16.880
go to gigs and do a little something something. What
646
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:19.640
what instrument are you on? Play drums to pay bass,
647
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:24.240
play guitar on occasion I feel like it, I play
648
00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:26.920
a little bit, he ses, and then let's seven. Yeah yeah, yeah,
649
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:29.240
it fends kind of nice. Nice.
650
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:32.279
Have you ever been in local bands in the scene, Yes,
651
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:33.799
I have you been in a few log bands.
652
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:35.839
Have you got any good names you can share. I've
653
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:38.759
been in Sick, I've been in Masura. There's a couple
654
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:42.920
of others, but nothing, nothing that I'll I'll get involved
655
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:46.759
with Men Attack right on. Yeah, fair enough, separate business
656
00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:50.279
from please business. I'm here, I'm here to take names.
657
00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:53.680
I could respect that. So I guess the answer might
658
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:55.720
be winning this. But has that been your career highlights
659
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:57.640
so far? So far?
660
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:01.200
Yeah, so far, It's definitely my career highlight. I was
661
00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:04.119
pretty damn stoked to be part of c qRT, and
662
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:06.839
then I was pretty damn stoked when they got the
663
00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:10.599
titles last Resus. I thought that would have been that
664
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:12.759
would have been it, But I thought, I'm going to
665
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:18.079
go for that. Yeah, so this is not the end.
666
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:20.599
This is not the end of the Man Attack journey.
667
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:23.480
I think I'm going to agree with you to see
668
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:26.000
a lot more from you. Yeah. So what do the
669
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:30.599
unified fans mean to you? If they're not there, what
670
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:31.160
are we doing?
671
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:32.400
Yep?
672
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:35.519
It's for them, Yeah, it's for the fans. It's also
673
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:38.279
for our own self gratification, but it is for the fans.
674
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:38.480
YEA.
675
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:42.720
The pop of a crowd once you've drawed someone into
676
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:46.039
the mat, there's nothing like it. Once your music hits
677
00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:50.319
and the crowd goes attack. Yeah, there's nothing like that. Yeah,
678
00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:51.519
so I'm running that wave.
679
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:53.799
Yeah, I remember standing in the ring. I got to
680
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:56.880
some guest ring announcing for Elliott. They stoked about to
681
00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:59.160
bring him to the ring. Arts could not believe the
682
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:03.559
wall of noise came back when his music had nothing.
683
00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:06.119
Absolutely, that means a lot. So probably I'd say the
684
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:09.599
unified crowd fans, they mean, they mean the most.
685
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:13.880
They're a great audience. I got crash it. I think
686
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:15.359
someone speak can be a little bit too cool for
687
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:18.240
the room. But like I was really happy with how
688
00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:19.319
into the show.
689
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:22.160
You break them in. You break them in. They cheer
690
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:24.039
for who they love and they boo who they hate.
691
00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:28.039
The kids, have you ever had an absolutely didn't come
692
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:29.400
at you from a child on the audience?
693
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:33.200
Nothing that I want to say on this podcast, but yeah,
694
00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:38.720
some some questionable things on parenting skills from these children. Yeah.
695
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:42.559
So let's move on to the next section about dream matches.
696
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:45.400
So to look at the whole of New Zealand, the
697
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:47.759
current active wrestlers.
698
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:50.400
Who would you who would you most like to wrestle
699
00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:53.240
in New Zealand at the moment in New Zealand, the
700
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:59.960
entirety of New Zealand. I want to fight big gun yep,
701
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:07.200
the guns on the top and I would probably say Canine, Yep, yeah,
702
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:11.160
Canine's on the list. And I would say the other
703
00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:13.680
guy might even be someone like Jay Riller.
704
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:17.480
Yes, yeah, definitely.
705
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:21.119
Well, I mean I got thrown on the deepen by
706
00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:24.480
having to fight for Braxis. Yes, so I had to
707
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:28.200
run circles around him. Maybe I have learned this thing
708
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:31.960
or two j me, we'll see exactly. That's good.
709
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:34.519
It's good to know that you're always learning from your opponents.
710
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:35.279
That's a good thing.
711
00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:36.039
Yeah.
712
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:41.799
So then if we expand it to worldwide active wrestlers,
713
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:45.799
who would be one of your dream matches to active? Yes,
714
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:46.920
ye're currently active.
715
00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:53.119
I would really like to have a go with Drew McIntyre. Ah,
716
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:56.920
and I would like to have I would say I
717
00:33:56.960 --> 00:34:00.839
would like to retire why to j Yeah, now you
718
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:03.279
heard it, Okay, I'd like to put him in the grave.
719
00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:06.880
Jericho Cruz number seventeen, New Zealand, come to New Zealand.
720
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:07.960
Jericho attacks.
721
00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:10.599
That attack is going to put you on the ground, Jericho.
722
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:11.239
I love it.
723
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:15.239
So, then if we're going to expand it even more
724
00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:20.360
to let's say you could fight like, for example, Rick
725
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:22.599
Flair when he was in his prime. Any rest, that's
726
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:25.480
you're alive and and they're in the prime, You're on
727
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:27.519
your prime, and that's the match.
728
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.400
I would love to go at. Shawn Michaels. Yeah, that
729
00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:35.840
Kurt Angle. Yep, be a toss up between Ultimate Warrior.
730
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:40.119
There's going to be a strange one, yeah, in Papa
731
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:44.760
Shongo really yes, sir, right, okay. I like the like
732
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:48.719
the big styles, yeah yeah, and also the quick athletic styles.
733
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:54.119
Some of these guys are gratified bodybuilders. Yeah, yeah, but
734
00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:57.360
I think I think they're formidable, formidable guys that I
735
00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:59.360
would have loved to have a guy to go with you. Yeah,
736
00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:00.360
that'll be fun.
737
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:02.599
Yeah. Can you imagine what they would be like to
738
00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:05.280
be on the mat and you hear Sean stomping the map,
739
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:06.960
and you know, you know what's.
740
00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:08.559
Coming, and I'm looking at the start and you're looking
741
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:09.480
at the lights, going.
742
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:11.880
You've got to go here something. I know what's coming.
743
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:17.840
They'll probably be looking for the pop from the crowd, yeah,
744
00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:19.639
which which will probably probably do it.
745
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:23.559
Yes, yeah, absolutely, it's gonna tuck my chin, yeah exactly.
746
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:26.880
So the next one coming back to music a little bit,
747
00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:30.079
if you could have any musical artists create an entrance
748
00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:32.440
song for you. I had actually as your current theme song,
749
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:33.920
as that by any of your friends.
750
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:38.280
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I put put my mate stew from
751
00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:40.679
a band called Blindfoldedly to the Woods. They've just finished
752
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:43.679
an American tour. Shout out to those guys, yep, shout
753
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:45.480
out to those dudes. He put it together for me
754
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:49.320
really quickly. We'll touch it up. Yeah, but it's it's
755
00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:52.960
it's done. The man to take job winning the title. Yeah,
756
00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:55.880
I had that ready to go. Yeah, absolutely will be. Yeah.
757
00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:58.480
So that's are they you're let's say, like, if you
758
00:35:58.519 --> 00:35:59.639
know you're going to do like another one, who is
759
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:02.519
the band you would look at as they might be good?
760
00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:04.559
Or it would it always be blindfold.
761
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:09.039
I've been thinking about Pulled Down the Sun, a band
762
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:11.800
from up north up in the North Island. They've just
763
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:16.199
supported Opeth so they have started to become a big deal,
764
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:17.159
just like myself.
765
00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:17.639
Yep.
766
00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:21.039
But I would say I would say pull down the Sun,
767
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:23.239
and if it was an international band, I'd probably want
768
00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:26.960
to get go juror to to PC or something from that.
769
00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:28.840
It would be fun, wouldn't it. So you heard her?
770
00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:33.920
If any of them are watching, give me attack a maker. Yeah,
771
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:37.840
it would be a good collaboration for the job. Yeah,
772
00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:41.599
So then what is your favorite thing about being a wrestler?
773
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:43.400
All of it everything.
774
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:45.920
I can't tell you one thing that I love about it.
775
00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:49.679
It's it's all. It's all great. The kid's gone wild,
776
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:56.920
the booze, the cheers, the slams, the pain, even the sweat,
777
00:36:56.960 --> 00:37:02.119
the tears, the grit, the reward. I think it's all their. Man,
778
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:03.719
there's not one thing, And I can tell you that
779
00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:07.000
it's my favorite thing about wrestling. Love it, pop from
780
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:08.920
the crowd, all of it, love it, all of it.
781
00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:13.199
So were the question here.
782
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:14.800
As well, it's your favorite thing about wrestling?
783
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:17.119
My favorite thing about wrestling. That's a good question. So
784
00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:19.280
I've I've got him. I've they've made me run the
785
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.599
ropes a little bit, and I've done a little bit
786
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:25.320
of you know, I've done judo and muytai and stuff
787
00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:27.119
in that life. But like I got to tell you
788
00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:30.199
that just there's nothing, there's nothing as much fun as
789
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:32.159
being in the ring. You know, you hit the ropes,
790
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:33.960
you had some of the big lariot or something like that,
791
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:38.079
and it was just amazing. And and for me it's
792
00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:40.199
just yes, there's no it's so much fun.
793
00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:45.400
There's nothing like it. And I said the pageantry, wellyworks
794
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:45.840
the lights.
795
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:49.119
I guess for me, I'm not exactly a flashy guy,
796
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:50.800
so I would have to really think of what I
797
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:52.480
was going to do for that kind of thing, right,
798
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:54.920
But I like it when other people do it.
799
00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:55.239
For sure.
800
00:37:56.039 --> 00:37:58.760
Elliott he's got his you know, his cape and everything
801
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:01.199
like that he does. Is there anything this is not
802
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:04.360
written down to this? Good question? If you had, you know,
803
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:06.119
you had like an arena show, so you know John
804
00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:09.360
all the copies of himself doing the thing, or you
805
00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:11.360
know Russiev coming out in the tank. Have you got
806
00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:14.159
any ideas what you'd love to do for a grand entrance?
807
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:19.000
Probably not clone myself because one's enough billion needs one,
808
00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:22.559
ye will needs one mid attack and this world ain't
809
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:28.159
big enough for two. Yeah, there'll sure only be one.
810
00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:30.760
I haven't thought about that. I've thought about that one.
811
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:32.440
You could do a live band, one of those things
812
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:35.880
live band, YEP. I can come down from the ceiling, okay,
813
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:38.639
you know I could fly in. I don't know, maybe
814
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:43.440
Spider Man. I don't know. Man, I'd honestly just come
815
00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:48.039
out as man attack, hold my heat up high and
816
00:38:48.039 --> 00:38:50.079
and I think with the amount of work that I
817
00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:52.480
plan on putting in Hopefully that'll be enough to gain
818
00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:58.039
a little bit of a speaking everybody ain't no show pony.
819
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:00.280
I'll come in here, kick some ass, do what I
820
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:02.800
said I was going to do, and get up great answer.
821
00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:05.199
So then I think I got sidetracked from them on
822
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:07.840
your goal for the next years. So you're wrestling the
823
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:12.559
Gun at the Southern Stampede. So I hear, Yeah, you're
824
00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:17.119
doing at champion here, champion versus champion mates titles are
825
00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:21.599
not on the line, if I understand correctly. So I hear, however,
826
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:23.719
you might get a little taste and you might be
827
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:26.239
able to see where you stack up to Big Gun.
828
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:29.719
And who knows, you might know where I stack up
829
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:32.280
the Big Gun. I've seen him before. Yeah he might
830
00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:36.960
look strong, but they ain't tough. We ate tough. Australia's
831
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:39.239
what do you make a lot of muscles? Yeah, a
832
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:42.000
lot of muscles, A lot of muscles, a lot of grit.
833
00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:45.719
There's a difference between you know, and the German.
834
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:48.239
Strength and fighting men take strength.
835
00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:53.679
Have you got any sort of special preparation you're doing
836
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:56.760
or a strategy that you I guess you know, maybe
837
00:39:56.760 --> 00:39:57.199
you don't.
838
00:39:57.000 --> 00:40:00.000
Want to nah, I'm just going to enjoy my Christmas
839
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:03.000
a few beers and kick masks when I see him.
840
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:07.760
He ain't no threat. You're not worried at all. Really
841
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:10.039
many I've had a mask kick before. I know what
842
00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:14.079
it's like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can handle that man. Okay,
843
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:18.079
oh brilliant. Yeah yeah.
844
00:40:18.199 --> 00:40:20.760
So the next question, how would you like to be
845
00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:23.320
remembered as a wrestler. Let's say, and you know you've
846
00:40:23.320 --> 00:40:25.280
had a long and illustrious career. What would you like
847
00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:27.760
if the fan what would you like the fans most
848
00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:29.559
to remember about you as mad attack.
849
00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:33.079
I think it's like a previously said, it's coming there,
850
00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:34.760
do what I see. I'm gonna do kix masks and
851
00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:37.320
leave mister unified.
852
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:41.599
Oh that's a good way to think about it, mister Unified.
853
00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:46.639
Now what's happening, isn't it? Hey? It's certainly I ain't
854
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:50.760
not lying, not lying. Yeah, so you've you would.
855
00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:52.559
Be pretty happy being as sort of, you know, a
856
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:55.280
champion for the company and representing Unified.
857
00:40:55.239 --> 00:40:58.920
Lam the champion for the company, representing Unified. Way to
858
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:00.760
get out of c qr T because those guys are
859
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:04.599
holding me back. So I'm taking this, yeah, and doing
860
00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:06.880
what meno tech needs to do with it. We'll see
861
00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:09.519
what that is. Yeah, sounds like a great plan.
862
00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:13.119
So then we have an opportunity for you to send
863
00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:15.159
a message to Big Gun.
864
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:17.880
You could maybe speak just that's all you want to
865
00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:20.400
say is I don't need to waste any more words.
866
00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:23.440
I don't need to waste any more words. He talks
867
00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:27.639
enough for everybody. I was surprised. I'd never heard him
868
00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:31.719
speak a lot before that. But yeah, he he doesn't man,
869
00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:37.079
he goes on a little bit. He Yeah, I was
870
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:41.960
surprised at how talkative he was. Yeah, he's finally getting
871
00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:43.320
some confidence and now he's got a bit of gold
872
00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:43.920
around his waist.
873
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:44.360
Ah.
874
00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:48.159
Yeah, do you feel like he's going to do? You
875
00:41:48.199 --> 00:41:50.159
feel like he's going to be a little worried when you.
876
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:51.639
Sort of lock up. You think he's going to know,
877
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:52.880
I know he's worried.
878
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:53.719
You know he's worried.
879
00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:54.599
Now I know he's worried.
880
00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:56.440
Okay, why do you think they put me with him
881
00:41:57.519 --> 00:41:58.280
in this match? Here?
882
00:41:58.519 --> 00:41:59.119
This match? Here?
883
00:41:59.199 --> 00:41:59.679
To keep way?
884
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:01.800
Do you think they put him with three guys last
885
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:06.320
last griefolness? Like, oh okay, well three got three heavyweights?
886
00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:07.880
Couldn't do it? Maybe we'll put him with the light
887
00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:12.920
heavyweight mine attack. Yeah. Well, I'm certain looking forward to
888
00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:14.679
seeing it. Yeah, I mean that makes sense, doesn't it.
889
00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:18.920
Yeah, test the middle of both tast the steel man,
890
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:22.119
I mean you know, yeah, do you think you're trying
891
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:23.760
to in this singles match? You know it's not an
892
00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:26.119
elimination match, but you might throw him over the ropes.
893
00:42:26.599 --> 00:42:27.360
Give me a taste of that.
894
00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:29.400
I think, I think i'll I think I'll get him
895
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:30.360
used to being man handled.
896
00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:30.679
Yeah.
897
00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:32.559
Like I said, he's strong, but he ain't tough.
898
00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:33.960
Yeah, I love it.
899
00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:37.840

1
00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:04.000
Tip Dak Media.
2
00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:09.839
Welcome back, folks to roddle me this.
3
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:12.960
I am really lucky to have with me today the
4
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:17.679
Unified Championship Heavyweights Champion Big Gun. Thank you for joining
5
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:17.960
me today.
6
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:23.199
Big Gun, First of all, ain't she sweet? It's a
7
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:24.960
beautiful one.
8
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.640
I believe you won. That's in May twenty twenty five
9
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:30.519
when you beat Mark Morales for the title and you've
10
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:31.519
held it ever since.
11
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:33.159
How does that feel?
12
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.600
It feels like I've been undefeated for a long time.
13
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:37.520
You certainly have.
14
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:40.399
Do you remember much about that match? Anything noteworthy?
15
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.840
Well, it was a lot easier than I thought, a
16
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:44.439
lot easier.
17
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.039
Okay, what you thought he was going to be stronger
18
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:47.600
and he wasn't.
19
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.640
Yeah, Well, when you got the largest natural guns and
20
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:56.280
zilla wrestling, not always jokers can hang with Big Gun
21
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:57.799
fair enough.
22
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:00.640
So how long have you rested a big Gun?
23
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:08.120
Big Gun has been wrestling for ten years? Decade? Yeah?
24
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:09.319
So who trained your Big Gun?
25
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:14.120
Who trained Big Gun? I trained me obviously, but for
26
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:21.040
pro wrestling, my trainers were Aaron Hasty, Checks Casey aka
27
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.319
Little Cam and Hustler.
28
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.239
Shout out to those guys. What made you want to
29
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.599
become a wrestler in the first place. Look at me,
30
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:35.719
you didn't have a lot of place.
31
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:39.519
That or male model. So yeah, you.
32
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:40.799
Could probably still do a little bit of that now
33
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:41.359
if you wanted to.
34
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:42.680
I totally agree.
35
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:44.079
Yeah, So if there's anyone.
36
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.959
Out there, give us a call and we could arrange that.
37
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:53.280
I think you think easy.
38
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:54.799
Whether they can afford you, I guess it is the
39
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:57.840
only roadblock. I could see you coming in there. I
40
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.120
like you, I like where you're going here sounds good.
41
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.599
So the Marke Morells was an easy match. What about
42
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:07.879
the hardest match of your career? What's that been so far?
43
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:13.560
The hardest match in my career was probably Canine?
44
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.120
What made it so difficult facing Canine?
45
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:25.000
Because Canine strong, he's athletic, he's good, he's experienced, technically proficient.
46
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:30.199
But I still beat him manly on physicality.
47
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:31.479
Yeah was that?
48
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:33.520
Did you pin him? What did you make him tap out?
49
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:34.039
For that match?
50
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:36.960
I gave him the order pump handle, slam.
51
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.800
Hard to come back from that one, very difficult. What
52
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.319
do you think was it that gave you the edge
53
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:42.960
over Canine?
54
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:43.120
There?
55
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.319
Was it your superior muscles or did you find it
56
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:48.240
out Cunningham.
57
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:52.319
Cunning muscle just out him.
58
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:53.159
Outclassed him in every way.
59
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:54.879
Thank you.
60
00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:00.759
Right, So, what would you say has been your favorite
61
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:02.039
match of your career so far?
62
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.800
My favorite match in my career. It was a long
63
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:12.120
time ago. It was against a very young now SPW
64
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:17.759
champion called Sky. It was his debut singles match and
65
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.800
it was a pretty pretty good match.
66
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.759
That's cool guy, Sky, He's pretty cool. This is the
67
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.400
same guy we're talking about that. Yeah, yeah, okay, what
68
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.479
was it about that match that you enjoyed so much?
69
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:30.759
Was it because he's a lot you could sort of
70
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:31.479
throw him around?
71
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.280
Yeah, yep, and he's very talented.
72
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:35.800
Yeah, right on.
73
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.680
What would you say is the most painful move that
74
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:40.719
you've ever been hit worth?
75
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:45.639
Painful move? I've been hitworth as a powerbom and landing
76
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:46.120
on my head.
77
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:48.960
That'll do it. Do you remember who delivered the power bomb?
78
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.479
Yes? I keep it.
79
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.319
Playing your cards close to your chest there, I could
80
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:54.879
respect that.
81
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:56.280
I could respect that.
82
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:02.360
What is your favorite type of non traditional singles match,
83
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:04.360
like maybe a triple three or a tables leaders and
84
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:05.280
chairs that kind of thing.
85
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.599
Well, when you're an aesthetic adonis like me, you don't
86
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:15.439
need tables, gimmicks and stuff. So single, single or most
87
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.680
triple threat. Yeah, which I won the last show.
88
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:20.040
By the way, you did.
89
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.480
You did pretty easily against two guys hundred fifty kilos.
90
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.360
I'm a merely one of fifteen kilos, but I was
91
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.160
still able to manhandle those big boys.
92
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.920
That was it was Kai Solomon and Chalky Murdock. You
93
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.480
went on there both did They teamed up on you
94
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.639
at one point? I remember seeing that. Yep, they kind
95
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.279
of had like a handshake agreement and they both went
96
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:41.639
after you.
97
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:43.959
But well, what would you do in that situation?
98
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.279
I guess you don't have much of a choice, right,
99
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.160
You've got to take what advantage you can get. Yeah,
100
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:51.680
so then you probably don't eve an answer for the spit.
101
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:53.879
So do you prefer tables, letters, or chairs?
102
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:55.920
Thistle?
103
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.600
A lot uses a weapon?
104
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:02.480
Weapon in the ring? Sir? Please? They made me fix again. Okay, sorry,
105
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:03.519
I do need a weapon.
106
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:04.240
You are the weapon.
107
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:06.279
Oh do we flex for it? Okay?
108
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:13.199
Look at that, that's the thumbnail right there. I think, So,
109
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.319
how do you feel when you're standing across the ring
110
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:18.160
from a really strong opponent?
111
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.720
I think, Wow, I'm a lot stronger than this guy.
112
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:22.879
That's how I feel.
113
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:24.560
That's a good way to think of that guy thinks
114
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:25.000
he's strong.
115
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:26.839
He's in a world.
116
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.879
Yeah, so they don't know how strong you are, and
117
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:31.000
they're about to learn.
118
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:33.800
They're going to learn, yeah the hard way.
119
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:34.839
I like that.
120
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:39.879
So what know they but they they learn pretty quickly.
121
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.639
What are your Either you have one signature move or
122
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.399
several signature moves? What are your your signatures?
123
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:52.680
Well, pump, handle, slam, and now I've got the oh Nelson.
124
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:57.399
Look, that's a relatively new addition to your move set,
125
00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:57.920
is that right?
126
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:00.959
Yeah? What of your game?
127
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:03.000
I look, I'm a fan. I'm a fan first. I've
128
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:08.040
been watching since of course, yeah, naturally. I think my
129
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.240
first show was probably the Stampede three years ago. I
130
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:13.519
saw Nico Dandy.
131
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:14.360
I think won that.
132
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.000
It was a good, good stampede that Sorry if you
133
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:18.920
were in that stampede, I'm.
134
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.879
Not sure that is, but congratulations to them.
135
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.439
Yeah, well you know, and now what is it that
136
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:27.839
just had you decide to start to add the full
137
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.560
nelson to your to your arsenal?
138
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.000
Well, I was getting sick a slam on these big
139
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.240
guys on your back, and I thought how else can
140
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.800
I make them suffer? And also I'll defend my guns
141
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:39.879
unbeating them Yeah.
142
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.360
It's also a kind of economic decision that you don't
143
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.199
have to strain your back as much. You know you can.
144
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:48.120
You can sort of conserve your conserve your muscle power there, which.
145
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:50.399
Is yeah, and it gives me two ways away.
146
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.279
That's true. Yeah, you've put away one person of it
147
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:54.639
so far. Are you going to be aiming for that
148
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:55.439
in your next match?
149
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:58.839
I'm not aiming for it. I'm going to be doing it.
150
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.000
You're going to do it. Okay, you heard it here
151
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.879
first Believe Achieve very nice. Did you come up with that?
152
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.000
Yeah? I wrote that really Wow?
153
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:07.720
I like it.
154
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:12.800
A faism, a bit of a artist, a warrior poet
155
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:17.800
even Yeah, right e jecked Jack. I like that.
156
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.959
Maybe that's your next T shirt design? So what is
157
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:23.959
your career highlights so far?
158
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:24.839
Is it winning this?
159
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.560
My career whole lights? Of course? Winning this beautiful beauty?
160
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.480
Ain't she sweet? Look at it? She's siny? Look at it?
161
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:35.560
Uc W.
162
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.079
Was this your first time winning the heavyweight championship, the.
163
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:42.600
Main headweight championship? Useable?
164
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:44.759
So you've been you've been thinking about this for ten
165
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.040
years and you finally made it happen this year. What
166
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:47.680
does that feel like?
167
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:55.879
I felt like home. Yeah, right on home, you know
168
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:56.319
what I mean?
169
00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:58.879
Well, I wouldn't know what it looks like to win
170
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.600
a title this, but I obviously I can certainly imagine.
171
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:02.879
So yeah, I appreciate that.
172
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:05.639
I felt like it was ten years in the way.
173
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:07.839
Yeah, you've been building up to us for ten years.
174
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:11.040
Yeah, building help that blah blah blah you call.
175
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:13.560
You can call it whatever you're like, right, and you're
176
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.560
going to try and hold onto it for ten years.
177
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.800
I won't try hold onto it, will hold on to it. Yeah,
178
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:26.439
obviously I can appreciate that. I know you would. Yeah. Yeah.
179
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.639
And of course, what do the fans mean to you?
180
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.759
Which way do you do you.
181
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.080
Like having them supporting you or maybe doing you? Do
182
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:39.799
they mean anything to you? Or do you notice the
183
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.600
fans when you're out there that kind of thing?
184
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.279
Well? I noticed when I flix with them and they
185
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:48.799
look at me, I's like wonder and awe, whow how
186
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.039
big and check this guy is? Yeah? Wow, one day
187
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:53.879
I would love the lord of that guy.
188
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.879
And they look like the heaber's rugged good looks and
189
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:04.240
also has brood big broad shoulders and is six foot
190
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:04.960
three high.
191
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.080
That's that's that's a hard thing to achieve. Do you
192
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.759
think it's possible for the average fan to put in
193
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:11.639
the work and look like.
194
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:20.000
You, hey, hey, thank you, thank you. But Gun hasn't
195
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.039
laughed at hard in a long time. You're welcome.
196
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.440
I am a comedian, so at least I'm at least.
197
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:26.840
I'm doing my job there, at least one of us does.
198
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:27.320
Yeah.
199
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:30.480
Well, you know, let's talk about some dream matches. So
200
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:32.720
if you would look at the whole of New Zealand
201
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:34.679
wrestling at the moment, with all the active wrestlers, who
202
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.360
would you most like to lock up with them?
203
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:41.440
Yeah? A dream match? Yeah, I think I am there.
204
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:43.000
Dream Ah.
205
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:44.799
So you're sitting at the top of the mountain and
206
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:45.840
you're there's.
207
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:50.159
No saying, my friend, he holds the gold, holds the
208
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:55.320
rules in the golden role, he who makes the gold.
209
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:57.080
Here's the rules.
210
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:57.879
I see.
211
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:00.080
So you're not worried you take on anybody?
212
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.799
I look shock, No, not at all, exactly.
213
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:08.720
Okay, So then what about if I.
214
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:10.840
Know a bit nervous, been around me a little bit. Yeah,
215
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:11.399
it's okay.
216
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.200
I've seen you in the ring. We're You've been very
217
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:17.679
generously times so far, and I've seen you, but I
218
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.240
didn't realize how big you are into a Sillian person,
219
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:23.639
and folks, it is impressive. He is a broad man.
220
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.519
You are intelligent, young man. Thank you, thanks nice too,
221
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:29.320
Thank you.
222
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:31.240
I appreciate that.
223
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.279
So then if we expand it to worldwide, is there
224
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.480
anyone that you would think maybe is a dream? Metry
225
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:39.639
you're still looking at it like you've got to come
226
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:41.039
here to New Zealand, you're going to you're going to
227
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:41.759
face big.
228
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.879
Gun, face big gun. But I look at things day
229
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:48.639
by day. I don't think big, big, long term projections,
230
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.679
small sense day by day. So you're not thinking that
231
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.440
was a mile journey begins with a single step, right,
232
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:01.080
so the modify changed, a big massive bicep begins with
233
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.720
a small Busyet it does. Yeah, I see, I'm a part.
234
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.919
You just don't know it there it is.
235
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.399
So then what if we expand this even further and
236
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:14.519
said if there was potentially a wrestler's not alive with
237
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.159
us anymore, if you could lock up with them and
238
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.120
they're prime, is there anybody you think, man, the a
239
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:18.960
hell of a match.
240
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.879
Look it with a prime hell of a match not alive.
241
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:25.679
Or maybe they're you know, there might be a live
242
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:29.399
but not live, not for you, what did wrestler? Do
243
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:29.960
you want to fight?
244
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.639
Dead wrestler? I like to fight, yeah, I like the
245
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:37.320
ultimate woror's intensity. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
246
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.120
There would be a lot of muscle in the ring, there,
247
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:39.639
wouldn't it.
248
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.720
Yeah, well, a lot of natural muscle on one side
249
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.519
and a lot I can't say it on his behalf.
250
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.799
We're not making any claims here, but oh I am
251
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:51.919
so yeah, fair enough. I think that'd be a good match.
252
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:53.279
I'd like to watch that as well.
253
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.240
I guarantee I got to be in the cardio than him.
254
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.320
Yes, I think I think you've got him there. So
255
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:01.759
then we're going to talk about music a little bit.
256
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.159
If you could have any musical artists, a band or
257
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.679
an artist out there creates a new entrance track for you,
258
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:10.919
Who would you like to do that for you?
259
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.559
I would like Billy Idle all right, yeah.
260
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.120
Any particular like what what kind of things do you
261
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.120
think Billy idols should sing about?
262
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.879
And that theme song just a bit jacked? I am?
263
00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:28.039
How great, I am, How tall I am, How I'm
264
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:28.679
a champion?
265
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.279
Sounds like a good thing. Real recognizes real, Yeah, he
266
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.000
knows that, he knows that he's watching. He's a big
267
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.200
fan of this show, So shout out to you, Billy.
268
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.519
Hey Bill, let's make it happen. You know, Hey Billy,
269
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:44.200
it's my boy. Yeah, rock the cradle.
270
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:45.399
Love it is.
271
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.039
So what's your favorite thing about being a wrestler?
272
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.480
My favorite thing about being a wrestler is show there
273
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:55.159
a show.
274
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.879
Do you have any like rituals on the day leading
275
00:12:58.960 --> 00:12:59.519
up to the show?
276
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:04.320
Rachels give me example of an erection.
277
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:08.559
Maybe you you know, you'll do some some stretching or
278
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:10.879
some warming up. You might have a particular food you
279
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.679
like to eat for a show. You might get a
280
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:15.399
coffee and energy drink that kind of thing.
281
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.000
Coffee energy drink, to be fair, Yeah, probably be healthy.
282
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.480
So yeah, I don't think. Well, I do allow myself
283
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.159
one simple pleasure just on the day as I wrestle,
284
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:27.960
A simple candy.
285
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:33.759
Coke yep, full sugar, full sugar. Wow, that's when you're
286
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:36.559
taking seriously there. Does that provide you with a little
287
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:39.600
bit of extra energy to go in there?
288
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.120
It does, right, because I never have any sugar. Yeah,
289
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:44.240
but in sugar hits me hard.
290
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:46.639
Yeah, I suppose it would do. A single can of coke,
291
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:49.600
single candy coke. Do you kind of look forward to that.
292
00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:51.360
You know, you wake up for a match to anything.
293
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.759
Not long until I get to enjoy a refreshing can.
294
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.639
Not long until I enjoy a refreshing can, and then
295
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.159
not long until I enjoy being someone. Yeah, defend of
296
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:03.519
the belt.
297
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:05.480
It's a lot to look forward to usn't they?
298
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:06.240
You're telling me?
299
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:10.080
I imagine you're probably dieting pretty pretty seriously, getting in
300
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:13.480
shape for wrestling and stuff. Do you have a favorite
301
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:15.639
cheat meal that you ever allow yourself to have?
302
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:17.679
Explain to me a cheat meal?
303
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:21.159
Okay, so for us people who aren't in shape, we
304
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:24.080
like to have things like pizza or hamburgers, maybe some
305
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:27.039
ice cream and things like that, and we call it
306
00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:29.399
a cheat meal because you're you're cheating on your diet,
307
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:31.639
so it's not a constant you've experienced before.
308
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:36.399
Well, Ollie, little kid is in a little behind the
309
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:38.799
scenes knowledge A big gun. Big guns are.
310
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:42.480
Vegetarian, really right? What are your sort of what are
311
00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:44.720
your favorite protein sources? Being a vegetarian?
312
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:47.159
Well way protein and eggs? Right on?
313
00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:50.279
Yeah, okay, I didn't know that a bit, big gun.
314
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:53.080
We learned something new today. How good you would have thought?
315
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.120
This big dude's a big meat eat right.
316
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.720
I'm gonna be honest. You you look like a fan
317
00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:59.120
of steak or something like that. But was there a
318
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.360
reason for that, Like, did you find it was more
319
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.399
efficient to become a vegetarian.
320
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.399
I don't want to go into Okay, I can appreciate
321
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.960
that I may not like him as too much, but
322
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:11.679
I do love animals.
323
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:13.720
Yeah, that's that. We can all get behind that.
324
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:16.039
So this next question, I was going to say, what
325
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:17.559
are your goals for the next year, but you said
326
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.399
you're thinking just small steps to create big steps, so
327
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:21.600
we can probably skip that one.
328
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:24.960
Well, goals next year is just hold on to this.
329
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:29.759
Yeah, and but you said that you're you are definitely
330
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:31.399
going to do it, right. It's not a it's not
331
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:36.840
a maybe, it's a certainty, right, And really you've got probably,
332
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:39.679
let's say you hold on so you've got maybe six
333
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.799
startled defenses next year or something like that the amount
334
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:44.759
of shows. So yeah, that's that's a good goal to
335
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.120
have for the next year. How would you like to
336
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:48.559
be remembered as a wrestler?
337
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:52.279
Remembered as a wrestler, I would like to be a
338
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:58.519
guy who's obviously jacked natural and didn't get his big
339
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:01.440
breaks straight. Away. Yeah, to work for ten years.
340
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:05.279
Yeah, ten year of a night success, right, yeah. Yeah.
341
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.759
And so we've got another match coming up.
342
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.440
You are going to be an a.
343
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:15.519
Champion versus champion match at the Southern Stampede. That's happening
344
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:20.080
on the fourteenth of February allegedly. Allegedly, Yes, we've heard
345
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:23.200
the rumors. I did the poster for it. You're going
346
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:28.039
to be facing off against Metattack. Who is them? He's
347
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:30.240
the light heavyweight champion at the moment. What are your
348
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:38.840
thoughts on Metattack? He's good? Yeah, no, no, nothing else.
349
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.039
You want to for a rookie to be a fair
350
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:41.799
he's pretty good.
351
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:44.600
He's pretty good. Yeah, he beats who do you take
352
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:46.799
the title? He took it off Karl Kopa, didn't he Yeah.
353
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:49.039
He had to throw everything in the kitchen sink at him.
354
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:51.399
Yeah, amazing, you have to throw at me.
355
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:53.919
He's going to have to throw a lot at you
356
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:55.399
to keep your shoulders on the mat.
357
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:59.879
I would say his chances a slim, yeah. Yeah.
358
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.240
And if you were to, like, let's say, if we
359
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:05.200
just pointing out the camera now and you could send him.
360
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:07.480
I'm having him on the show in about a week,
361
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:09.839
so you could maybe send him about that.
362
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:11.359
Sorry, look, you know.
363
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.599
We got to make that with well, you know, desperate
364
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.039
times called for dism It's quiet over Christmas. So if
365
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:20.960
you were going to send a message to mad Attack
366
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:23.839
before your match, what would you like to say to
367
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:24.319
mad Attack?
368
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:28.319
Now, I'd say, Matt, stay in your lane, little brouh,
369
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:32.880
stay in your lane. You're a light heavyweight. Oh my
370
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:38.319
hit super heavyweight, stay in your lane, son, And also,
371
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:40.799
had the weights, would you.
372
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:43.200
Hit the weights?
373
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:49.680
Hit the weights? Man met attack, meda tech, Mada tech,
374
00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:54.920
Mada tech. Not behind him.
375
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:56.319
Yet, give a time.
376
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:01.359
I suppose the the heavyweight versus light heavyweight matchups should
377
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:03.759
be interesting. You're obviously going to have the sort of
378
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:05.799
weight and kind of power advantage there. Do you think
379
00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:08.599
he's going to be looking to use some speed and
380
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.039
agility to get you off your feet that kind of thing.
381
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:12.920
I think I try and overpower me.
382
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:13.680
He's in overpower.
383
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.400
No, obviously speed, yeah, yeah, but I.
384
00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:18.720
Mean he might try. You know, maybe he could.
385
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:20.799
He doesn't look too bright, so he might try.
386
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:22.359
He might come at your head off like that.
387
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:25.480
Yeah. Yeah, wouldn't be surprised. No, is he the first
388
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:27.960
little guy to try to do it? No? Yeah, Is
389
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:30.000
he the first big guy to try do it and lose? No?
390
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.200
Yeah, do you have any kind of are you going
391
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:34.839
to be doing anything?
392
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:38.000
Matt?
393
00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:39.759
Are you going to be doing it?
394
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:42.480
Don't do it, bro, don't do it. Don't do it.
395
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:45.720
So if he wanted to forfeit, now you would accept,
396
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:47.519
You'd say that's that's all right and you just have
397
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:49.880
a note off or would you what would you?
398
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:50.160
Well?
399
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:52.839
Yeah, well that's that comes to the end of all
400
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:53.359
my questions.
401
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:53.960
I've got there.
402
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:56.440
Thank you for giving up some time in your busy schedule, big.
403
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:58.680
Gun, anything else, got off the cuff?
404
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:02.799
Anything else? Let's see what else could we could we
405
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:06.440
ask about? Yeah, I know you've been very open with me.

411
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:22.920

412
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:26.039
I stopped training for six months.
413
00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:29.079

competitors though, that.
422
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:49.599

Thanks for having me.
471
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:23.759
It's nice to I've been following you for a while
472
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:25.440
and it's so cool to have a so don't have
473
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:28.680
a chat with you. So, yeah, exactly how are you feeling?
474
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:31.240
Ecstatic? Look that I got.
475
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:34.960
Yes, you won that at the Wrestlemers just a month
476
00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:37.519
or so ago, and you beat.
477
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:38.519
Color Cooper for that.
478
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:41.880
How did that feel finally pinning Color?
479
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:43.359
I want to get him more?
480
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:45.359
Yeah, yeah, you want to run about is.
481
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:47.160
There's more business to be done with that man in
482
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:52.240
the future, But as it stands for Wrestlemers, pretty damn satisfying. Yeah.
483
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.000
Absolutely, congratulations. So you were telling me just before it
484
00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:58.119
was about a year in your career. You've got the
485
00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:00.640
tag titles at Wrestlmers. Is exactly what? And then another
486
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:04.440
year you got the light heavyweight championship. So keep your
487
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:07.000
eyes on Mad Attack. Who knows what's going to happen
488
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:09.440
at the next rest of us right, who knows?
489
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:12.279
Got some big plans. So we've got some questions for
490
00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:16.559
you here. You've been wrestling for how long now officially
491
00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:21.119
professionally with unified one year, one year, one year, one month,
492
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:24.960
look at that. And who was your trainer? The trainer
493
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:28.839
was Mark Morellish on the show. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
494
00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:30.640
c qRT boys brought me in and showed me a
495
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:32.759
thing or two. Yeah, he took over from the the
496
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:35.119
big stuff and then Ruth's history.
497
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:35.640
Yeah, I know.
498
00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:38.559
He definitely has made me run the ropes a little
499
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:43.160
bit as well. So that yep. And what made you
500
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:44.720
decide to become a wrestler.
501
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:47.960
I wanted to get in the ring, Yeah, I wanted
502
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:50.400
to get in there and scrap. I wanted to show
503
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:52.440
everybody what I what I could do, what mad attack's
504
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.000
worth and if they get's starting to work out.
505
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:57.680
Evidently, So that's how i'd argue. With the results we've
506
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:00.400
got here, what would you say so far? Like you said,
507
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:02.319
it's only been a year, but you've had several matches.
508
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:04.759
What was the hardest match that you've had in your career?
509
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:04.880
So?
510
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:07.519
How was it with Carl or was there something else?
511
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.960
You had some pretty vicious matches with Braxis if I remember.
512
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:14.039
Had some painful matches with Braxist. He certainly taught me
513
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:16.799
a thing or two. I would probably say the cheers match.
514
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:19.759
That was probably that was probably the hardest match. Yes, yeah,
515
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:24.079
that's yeah. Carl was definitely a formidable opponent. Ye. Rough
516
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:26.960
Guts was a good one. Yeah that's right. Yeah. Yeah.
517
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:30.680
They taught me to humble myself here too. Ah yeah, Rough.
518
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:32.720
Guts is a little bit of a key wrestling legend, isn't.
519
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:35.720
He sure is, I'm sure, And he certainly showed me
520
00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:37.279
a thing or two that I had no idea of.
521
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:40.000
Yeah, so yep. They must have been exciting getting in
522
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:40.720
him with the legend though.
523
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:43.799
I'm grateful. Yeah, I'm very grateful for it. Nice.
524
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:46.759
I remember seeing his name. I've been watching for a
525
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:48.920
while since this sort of high school. I remember seeing
526
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:50.200
his name around. So yeah, it's cool.
527
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:52.799
But he's still going Yeah, no, he's going hard, brilliant.
528
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:57.519
Yeah, absolutely. What would you say the most painful move
529
00:24:57.640 --> 00:24:58.759
you've ever been hit with is?
530
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:01.640
I can just tell you that the cheer shots probably
531
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:04.720
the most painful thing that I've had. Yeah, absolutely, the
532
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:06.519
rest of the night after that one, Yeah, nothing like
533
00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:07.200
a good old chair.
534
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:14.000
Have you competed in a lot of non traditional singles matches,
535
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.240
things like chairs matches, maybe cage matches, that kind of thing.
536
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.079
Not to date, not to date. I've had a lot
537
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.319
of history wrestling, just not professionally. I can get very messy.
538
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.960
Yes, absolutely, Which type of those matches are you most
539
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:32.480
looking forwards to competing?
540
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:35.880
And I want to do a TLC match.
541
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:40.319
That leads very nicely into my next question, which is
542
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:43.039
what is your favorite out of tables, letters, and chairs.
543
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:47.559
I think everyone knows the damn tables, the tables, the
544
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:49.640
damn tables because I don't like those cheers.
545
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:55.200
No, yeah, I think once, but and twice chairs and
546
00:25:55.680 --> 00:26:01.160
I don't really remember it, but yes, the.
547
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:02.559
Neutral on letders then, Oh, I mean I can go
548
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:04.359
up and down letters? Yeah, I can jump off.
549
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:04.799
And you do?
550
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:05.720
You do? Okay with that?
551
00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:08.319
Quite a few top ropes sort of maneuvers in your
552
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:09.279
your arsenal.
553
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:10.799
There can do the thing we'll do. Yeah.
554
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:13.759
How did you decide to start using the you know,
555
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:15.160
we could call it the six one nine or the
556
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:17.960
tiger faint keck? What was Because you're quite a you're
557
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:21.279
quite a long guy, and people might not immediately think
558
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:23.039
that's a move you're going to whip out. How did
559
00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:24.039
you decide to start using that?
560
00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:30.799
I wanted to do it. Yeah, that's what meta tech
561
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:32.920
does it just comes along and wants to do something,
562
00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:36.039
I'll do it, all right, kids and that and just
563
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:36.359
like that.
564
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:39.279
Yeah, how long had you been chasing this start off for?
565
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:42.000
Did you have any matches with Karla beforehands?
566
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:45.599
Nope, I haven't had any matches with Corlor. That was
567
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.119
the first time we met in the ring. But I
568
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:50.279
have been chasing this belt the moment. I saw it
569
00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:53.519
before I got into Unified. Yeah, as a fan on
570
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:55.640
the outside, I saw that, and I'm going to come
571
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:55.920
for that.
572
00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:00.680
Yeah, I think I'm remembering back when I started watching Unify.
573
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:05.279
It's my friend Elliot Samuels. I watched him chase after
574
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:07.599
this one here, had some good matches for it, And yeah,
575
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:10.200
I've always liked the light heavyweight championship.
576
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:14.920
Elliott was the title holder at the time. I decided
577
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:16.759
I need to go on the change and shut up.
578
00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:18.559
Do you ever feel like you'd be interested in locking
579
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:20.799
up with Elliott? I'd lock up with you one minute,
580
00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:24.279
lock up with anyone anybody. When you were preparing to
581
00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:26.640
face car Or what were some of the things you
582
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:29.000
did to get ready for that match?
583
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:34.359
Stay away from Archie, that is the other guy's a
584
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:38.079
cheeky little little buggery and yeah, I see. If I'm
585
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:39.799
going to be healthy, I'm going to stay away from
586
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:42.839
everyone and everything and just focus on color. Yeah.
587
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:45.039
Did you ever think about bringing some back up and
588
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:46.799
CEQRT with you to the ring or was the thing
589
00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:47.359
you want to handle?
590
00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:52.480
Man? C QRTV disappointed me beyond belief. I'm not really
591
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:55.240
associating with those guys anymore. I've got bigger fish to
592
00:27:55.279 --> 00:28:00.279
fry now and a responsibility to hold, so CQRT are
593
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:04.240
very unreliable. Yeah, we saw. I did not want to
594
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:06.480
have them get into the ring, especially when I can't
595
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:08.720
deal with their own title holding. Yeah, we saw.
596
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:11.960
We saw a bit of a meltdown, I think at
597
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:14.079
the end of the last rest of my show, and
598
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:16.720
I had wondered myself, what's what's going to happen to
599
00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:17.440
seek you out too?
600
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.359
Then? Yeah, well that was the final straw for me.
601
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:21.160
There was a final straw for me. They knew that
602
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:23.400
I had a title fight. I told them just pull
603
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:25.640
their heads in and behave themselves. I told them, you're
604
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:28.599
going to lose the belts. They did. I was there
605
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:32.119
to try and pull them off each other straight into
606
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:35.680
that car gets me with a spear from my title fight.
607
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:38.960
I didn't even have an entrance. I had to I
608
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:40.960
had to go on and rescue the damn children. Yes,
609
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:43.039
you started the match off the back of that, didn't you.
610
00:28:43.319 --> 00:28:47.200
Yes? Wow, well well done for winning the pissing.
611
00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:47.400
Me off now?
612
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:52.960
Okay, yes, sorry? How do you feel when you're standing
613
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:54.799
across the ring from a really strong opponent?
614
00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:58.160
I wonder how he's feeling standing across the ring staring
615
00:28:58.160 --> 00:28:58.400
at me.
616
00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:03.720
Oh so we spoke a little bit about this before.
617
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:07.759
You hit Carla Cooper with quite a spectacular move to
618
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:09.759
end that last match. Have you thought of a name
619
00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:12.960
for it at all? In between now and then, anything.
620
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:15.079
With Matt in it? Anything, anything that attacking it, hit
621
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:17.960
the mat, yeah, hit the mad attack Yeah yeah, I
622
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:20.039
think the attack driver with the attack driver, it's not
623
00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:20.920
a bad name for it either.
624
00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:25.960
Yeah. How did you decide? Well, I guess did you
625
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:27.319
know that was going to be the move that ended?
626
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:29.079
How did you decide on using that move? Was it
627
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:30.640
just something you felt in the moment?
628
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:35.319
So I got him with a swanton, and I know
629
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:38.119
car was tougher than that. So I hit him with
630
00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:40.799
another swanton yep, And I know Carl was tougher than that,
631
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:43.279
so I don't want to take my chances. I picked
632
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:47.160
a disass up and I dropped Dias down. Yeah, and
633
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:49.839
I got the one two three. So it was all
634
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:52.400
about making sure that I'd got the job done. Yeah, yeah,
635
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:55.279
because I wanted to walk home with that. Yeah. Yeah.
636
00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:57.480
I remember sitting in the crowd watching that match and
637
00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:00.759
it seems like, yeah, you really, you through everything. You
638
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:02.359
hated him, and there was enough to keep him down,
639
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:03.799
keep him down.
640
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:04.359
Yeah.
641
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:06.359
Just haven't got this written down, but I know you
642
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:08.599
sort of covered in tattoos and stuff like that. I
643
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:11.279
imagine you're pretty into the local music scene a little bit.
644
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:14.359
Yeah, play a little bit, play a little bit. I
645
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:16.880
go to gigs and do a little something something. What
646
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:19.640
what instrument are you on? Play drums to pay bass,
647
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:24.240
play guitar on occasion I feel like it, I play
648
00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:26.920
a little bit, he ses, and then let's seven. Yeah yeah, yeah,
649
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:29.240
it fends kind of nice. Nice.
650
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:32.279
Have you ever been in local bands in the scene, Yes,
651
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:33.799
I have you been in a few log bands.
652
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:35.839
Have you got any good names you can share. I've
653
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:38.759
been in Sick, I've been in Masura. There's a couple
654
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:42.920
of others, but nothing, nothing that I'll I'll get involved
655
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:46.759
with Men Attack right on. Yeah, fair enough, separate business
656
00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:50.279
from please business. I'm here, I'm here to take names.
657
00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:53.680
I could respect that. So I guess the answer might
658
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:55.720
be winning this. But has that been your career highlights
659
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:57.640
so far? So far?
660
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:01.200
Yeah, so far, It's definitely my career highlight. I was
661
00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:04.119
pretty damn stoked to be part of c qRT, and
662
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:06.839
then I was pretty damn stoked when they got the
663
00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:10.599
titles last Resus. I thought that would have been that
664
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:12.759
would have been it, But I thought, I'm going to
665
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:18.079
go for that. Yeah, so this is not the end.
666
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:20.599
This is not the end of the Man Attack journey.
667
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:23.480
I think I'm going to agree with you to see
668
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:26.000
a lot more from you. Yeah. So what do the
669
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:30.599
unified fans mean to you? If they're not there, what
670
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:31.160
are we doing?
671
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:32.400
Yep?
672
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:35.519
It's for them, Yeah, it's for the fans. It's also
673
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:38.279
for our own self gratification, but it is for the fans.
674
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:38.480
YEA.
675
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:42.720
The pop of a crowd once you've drawed someone into
676
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:46.039
the mat, there's nothing like it. Once your music hits
677
00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:50.319
and the crowd goes attack. Yeah, there's nothing like that. Yeah,
678
00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:51.519
so I'm running that wave.
679
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:53.799
Yeah, I remember standing in the ring. I got to
680
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:56.880
some guest ring announcing for Elliott. They stoked about to
681
00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:59.160
bring him to the ring. Arts could not believe the
682
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:03.559
wall of noise came back when his music had nothing.
683
00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:06.119
Absolutely, that means a lot. So probably I'd say the
684
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:09.599
unified crowd fans, they mean, they mean the most.
685
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:13.880
They're a great audience. I got crash it. I think
686
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:15.359
someone speak can be a little bit too cool for
687
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:18.240
the room. But like I was really happy with how
688
00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:19.319
into the show.
689
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:22.160
You break them in. You break them in. They cheer
690
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:24.039
for who they love and they boo who they hate.
691
00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:28.039
The kids, have you ever had an absolutely didn't come
692
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:29.400
at you from a child on the audience?
693
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:33.200
Nothing that I want to say on this podcast, but yeah,
694
00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:38.720
some some questionable things on parenting skills from these children. Yeah.
695
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:42.559
So let's move on to the next section about dream matches.
696
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:45.400
So to look at the whole of New Zealand, the
697
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:47.759
current active wrestlers.
698
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:50.400
Who would you who would you most like to wrestle
699
00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:53.240
in New Zealand at the moment in New Zealand, the
700
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:59.960
entirety of New Zealand. I want to fight big gun yep,
701
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:07.200
the guns on the top and I would probably say Canine, Yep, yeah,
702
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:11.160
Canine's on the list. And I would say the other
703
00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:13.680
guy might even be someone like Jay Riller.
704
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:17.480
Yes, yeah, definitely.
705
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:21.119
Well, I mean I got thrown on the deepen by
706
00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:24.480
having to fight for Braxis. Yes, so I had to
707
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:28.200
run circles around him. Maybe I have learned this thing
708
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:31.960
or two j me, we'll see exactly. That's good.
709
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:34.519
It's good to know that you're always learning from your opponents.
710
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:35.279
That's a good thing.
711
00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:36.039
Yeah.
712
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:41.799
So then if we expand it to worldwide active wrestlers,
713
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:45.799
who would be one of your dream matches to active? Yes,
714
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:46.920
ye're currently active.
715
00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:53.119
I would really like to have a go with Drew McIntyre. Ah,
716
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:56.920
and I would like to have I would say I
717
00:33:56.960 --> 00:34:00.839
would like to retire why to j Yeah, now you
718
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:03.279
heard it, Okay, I'd like to put him in the grave.
719
00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:06.880
Jericho Cruz number seventeen, New Zealand, come to New Zealand.
720
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:07.960
Jericho attacks.
721
00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:10.599
That attack is going to put you on the ground, Jericho.
722
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:11.239
I love it.
723
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:15.239
So, then if we're going to expand it even more
724
00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:20.360
to let's say you could fight like, for example, Rick
725
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:22.599
Flair when he was in his prime. Any rest, that's
726
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:25.480
you're alive and and they're in the prime, You're on
727
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:27.519
your prime, and that's the match.
728
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.400
I would love to go at. Shawn Michaels. Yeah, that
729
00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:35.840
Kurt Angle. Yep, be a toss up between Ultimate Warrior.
730
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:40.119
There's going to be a strange one, yeah, in Papa
731
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:44.760
Shongo really yes, sir, right, okay. I like the like
732
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:48.719
the big styles, yeah yeah, and also the quick athletic styles.
733
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:54.119
Some of these guys are gratified bodybuilders. Yeah, yeah, but
734
00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:57.360
I think I think they're formidable, formidable guys that I
735
00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:59.360
would have loved to have a guy to go with you. Yeah,
736
00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:00.360
that'll be fun.
737
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:02.599
Yeah. Can you imagine what they would be like to
738
00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:05.280
be on the mat and you hear Sean stomping the map,
739
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:06.960
and you know, you know what's.
740
00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:08.559
Coming, and I'm looking at the start and you're looking
741
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:09.480
at the lights, going.
742
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:11.880
You've got to go here something. I know what's coming.
743
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:17.840
They'll probably be looking for the pop from the crowd, yeah,
744
00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:19.639
which which will probably probably do it.
745
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:23.559
Yes, yeah, absolutely, it's gonna tuck my chin, yeah exactly.
746
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:26.880
So the next one coming back to music a little bit,
747
00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:30.079
if you could have any musical artists create an entrance
748
00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:32.440
song for you. I had actually as your current theme song,
749
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:33.920
as that by any of your friends.
750
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:38.280
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I put put my mate stew from
751
00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:40.679
a band called Blindfoldedly to the Woods. They've just finished
752
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:43.679
an American tour. Shout out to those guys, yep, shout
753
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:45.480
out to those dudes. He put it together for me
754
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:49.320
really quickly. We'll touch it up. Yeah, but it's it's
755
00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:52.960
it's done. The man to take job winning the title. Yeah,
756
00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:55.880
I had that ready to go. Yeah, absolutely will be. Yeah.
757
00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:58.480
So that's are they you're let's say, like, if you
758
00:35:58.519 --> 00:35:59.639
know you're going to do like another one, who is
759
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:02.519
the band you would look at as they might be good?
760
00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:04.559
Or it would it always be blindfold.
761
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:09.039
I've been thinking about Pulled Down the Sun, a band
762
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:11.800
from up north up in the North Island. They've just
763
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:16.199
supported Opeth so they have started to become a big deal,
764
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:17.159
just like myself.
765
00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:17.639
Yep.
766
00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:21.039
But I would say I would say pull down the Sun,
767
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:23.239
and if it was an international band, I'd probably want
768
00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:26.960
to get go juror to to PC or something from that.
769
00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:28.840
It would be fun, wouldn't it. So you heard her?
770
00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:33.920
If any of them are watching, give me attack a maker. Yeah,
771
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:37.840
it would be a good collaboration for the job. Yeah,
772
00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:41.599
So then what is your favorite thing about being a wrestler?
773
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:43.400
All of it everything.
774
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:45.920
I can't tell you one thing that I love about it.
775
00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:49.679
It's it's all. It's all great. The kid's gone wild,
776
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:56.920
the booze, the cheers, the slams, the pain, even the sweat,
777
00:36:56.960 --> 00:37:02.119
the tears, the grit, the reward. I think it's all their. Man,
778
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:03.719
there's not one thing, And I can tell you that
779
00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:07.000
it's my favorite thing about wrestling. Love it, pop from
780
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:08.920
the crowd, all of it, love it, all of it.
781
00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:13.199
So were the question here.
782
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:14.800
As well, it's your favorite thing about wrestling?
783
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:17.119
My favorite thing about wrestling. That's a good question. So
784
00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:19.280
I've I've got him. I've they've made me run the
785
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.599
ropes a little bit, and I've done a little bit
786
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:25.320
of you know, I've done judo and muytai and stuff
787
00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:27.119
in that life. But like I got to tell you
788
00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:30.199
that just there's nothing, there's nothing as much fun as
789
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:32.159
being in the ring. You know, you hit the ropes,
790
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:33.960
you had some of the big lariot or something like that,
791
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:38.079
and it was just amazing. And and for me it's
792
00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:40.199
just yes, there's no it's so much fun.
793
00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:45.400
There's nothing like it. And I said the pageantry, wellyworks
794
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:45.840
the lights.
795
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:49.119
I guess for me, I'm not exactly a flashy guy,
796
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:50.800
so I would have to really think of what I
797
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:52.480
was going to do for that kind of thing, right,
798
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:54.920
But I like it when other people do it.
799
00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:55.239
For sure.
800
00:37:56.039 --> 00:37:58.760
Elliott he's got his you know, his cape and everything
801
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:01.199
like that he does. Is there anything this is not
802
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:04.360
written down to this? Good question? If you had, you know,
803
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:06.119
you had like an arena show, so you know John
804
00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:09.360
all the copies of himself doing the thing, or you
805
00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:11.360
know Russiev coming out in the tank. Have you got
806
00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:14.159
any ideas what you'd love to do for a grand entrance?
807
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:19.000
Probably not clone myself because one's enough billion needs one,
808
00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:22.559
ye will needs one mid attack and this world ain't
809
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:28.159
big enough for two. Yeah, there'll sure only be one.
810
00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:30.760
I haven't thought about that. I've thought about that one.
811
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:32.440
You could do a live band, one of those things
812
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:35.880
live band, YEP. I can come down from the ceiling, okay,
813
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:38.639
you know I could fly in. I don't know, maybe
814
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:43.440
Spider Man. I don't know. Man, I'd honestly just come
815
00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:48.039
out as man attack, hold my heat up high and
816
00:38:48.039 --> 00:38:50.079
and I think with the amount of work that I
817
00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:52.480
plan on putting in Hopefully that'll be enough to gain
818
00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:58.039
a little bit of a speaking everybody ain't no show pony.
819
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:00.280
I'll come in here, kick some ass, do what I
820
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:02.800
said I was going to do, and get up great answer.
821
00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:05.199
So then I think I got sidetracked from them on
822
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:07.840
your goal for the next years. So you're wrestling the
823
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:12.559
Gun at the Southern Stampede. So I hear, Yeah, you're
824
00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:17.119
doing at champion here, champion versus champion mates titles are
825
00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:21.599
not on the line, if I understand correctly. So I hear, however,
826
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:23.719
you might get a little taste and you might be
827
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:26.239
able to see where you stack up to Big Gun.
828
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:29.719
And who knows, you might know where I stack up
829
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:32.280
the Big Gun. I've seen him before. Yeah he might
830
00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:36.960
look strong, but they ain't tough. We ate tough. Australia's
831
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:39.239
what do you make a lot of muscles? Yeah, a
832
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:42.000
lot of muscles, A lot of muscles, a lot of grit.
833
00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:45.719
There's a difference between you know, and the German.
834
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:48.239
Strength and fighting men take strength.
835
00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:53.679
Have you got any sort of special preparation you're doing
836
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:56.760
or a strategy that you I guess you know, maybe
837
00:39:56.760 --> 00:39:57.199
you don't.
838
00:39:57.000 --> 00:40:00.000
Want to nah, I'm just going to enjoy my Christmas
839
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:03.000
a few beers and kick masks when I see him.
840
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:07.760
He ain't no threat. You're not worried at all. Really
841
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:10.039
many I've had a mask kick before. I know what
842
00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:14.079
it's like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can handle that man. Okay,
843
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:18.079
oh brilliant. Yeah yeah.
844
00:40:18.199 --> 00:40:20.760
So the next question, how would you like to be
845
00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:23.320
remembered as a wrestler. Let's say, and you know you've
846
00:40:23.320 --> 00:40:25.280
had a long and illustrious career. What would you like
847
00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:27.760
if the fan what would you like the fans most
848
00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:29.559
to remember about you as mad attack.
849
00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:33.079
I think it's like a previously said, it's coming there,
850
00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:34.760
do what I see. I'm gonna do kix masks and
851
00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:37.320
leave mister unified.
852
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:41.599
Oh that's a good way to think about it, mister Unified.
853
00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:46.639
Now what's happening, isn't it? Hey? It's certainly I ain't
854
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:50.760
not lying, not lying. Yeah, so you've you would.
855
00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:52.559
Be pretty happy being as sort of, you know, a
856
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:55.280
champion for the company and representing Unified.
857
00:40:55.239 --> 00:40:58.920
Lam the champion for the company, representing Unified. Way to
858
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:00.760
get out of c qr T because those guys are
859
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:04.599
holding me back. So I'm taking this, yeah, and doing
860
00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:06.880
what meno tech needs to do with it. We'll see
861
00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:09.519
what that is. Yeah, sounds like a great plan.
862
00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:13.119
So then we have an opportunity for you to send
863
00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:15.159
a message to Big Gun.
864
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:17.880
You could maybe speak just that's all you want to
865
00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:20.400
say is I don't need to waste any more words.
866
00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:23.440
I don't need to waste any more words. He talks
867
00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:27.639
enough for everybody. I was surprised. I'd never heard him
868
00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:31.719
speak a lot before that. But yeah, he he doesn't man,
869
00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:37.079
he goes on a little bit. He Yeah, I was
870
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:41.960
surprised at how talkative he was. Yeah, he's finally getting
871
00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:43.320
some confidence and now he's got a bit of gold
872
00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:43.920
around his waist.
873
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:44.360
Ah.
874
00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:48.159
Yeah, do you feel like he's going to do? You
875
00:41:48.199 --> 00:41:50.159
feel like he's going to be a little worried when you.
876
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:51.639
Sort of lock up. You think he's going to know,
877
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:52.880
I know he's worried.
878
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:53.719
You know he's worried.
879
00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:54.599
Now I know he's worried.
880
00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:56.440
Okay, why do you think they put me with him
881
00:41:57.519 --> 00:41:58.280
in this match? Here?
882
00:41:58.519 --> 00:41:59.119
This match? Here?
883
00:41:59.199 --> 00:41:59.679
To keep way?
884
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:01.800
Do you think they put him with three guys last
885
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:06.320
last griefolness? Like, oh okay, well three got three heavyweights?
886
00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:07.880
Couldn't do it? Maybe we'll put him with the light
887
00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:12.920
heavyweight mine attack. Yeah. Well, I'm certain looking forward to
888
00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:14.679
seeing it. Yeah, I mean that makes sense, doesn't it.
889
00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:18.920
Yeah, test the middle of both tast the steel man,
890
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:22.119
I mean you know, yeah, do you think you're trying
891
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:23.760
to in this singles match? You know it's not an
892
00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:26.119
elimination match, but you might throw him over the ropes.
893
00:42:26.599 --> 00:42:27.360
Give me a taste of that.
894
00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:29.400
I think, I think i'll I think I'll get him
895
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:30.360
used to being man handled.
896
00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:30.679
Yeah.
897
00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:32.559
Like I said, he's strong, but he ain't tough.
898
00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:33.960
Yeah, I love it.
899
00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:37.840
