(00:48):
in Lexington, Kentucky, ninety eightWon the Bull. It is our first
podcast of twenty twenty four. Thatmeans we are beck. I am Austin.
I'm with my co host, Billythe Kid Billy. What's up?
Man Happy twenty twenty four? Howyou doing? Brother? Yes, sir
doing great. A big episode tostart the year for us, as we
have WWE superstar Ricochet joining the showtoday ahead of Rawl taking over the rapp
(01:11):
Arena here in February. You canfind all the details for that show on
our website w bu L dot com. But Ricochet joining the show, man,
thanks so much for taking the timetoday. It's not a problem at
all, guys, Thank you somuch. It's really not a problem.
We were talking before we started thepodcast. You have a lot of ties
to Kentucky. Yeah, you livefor a while in Paduke at Kentucky,
(01:34):
so kind of a little bit ofright as you come to as you come
to Lexington. So you know what, what can the fans in Lexington expect
they come out to roll in February. I mean for one meet at least.
Oh now, that's just that's justa minimum, you know what I
mean, at least to me.But no, I mean again, expect
everything that you see on television.Again, when you watch it on television,
(01:57):
it's awesome. You get everything thatyou want. And it's the reason
why it's the longest running episodic televisionshow ever, because it's that it's fun
and amazing. But when you go, it's just Monday night, We're all
alive. Is crazy. You go, you got the Piro, you got
the fans, you got the electricity, you get the superstars. It's just
(02:20):
a perfect mixture for just the bestnight ever. You know. That's one
thing that we always kind of letto stress here on this show because there's
not a lot of people that havenecessarily been out to wwe shows in the
past, and it's so much differentwhen you go ricochet. I mean,
just like it's so much different.Seeing the stuff that you do on TV.
It's amazing, like when you goup and do backflips and stuff,
(02:40):
but seeing that in person is justso much is so much different. We
mentioned the first episode of twenty twentyfour one of our biggest most accomplished guests
that we have on here, formerIntercontinental Championship. I mean, I bet
you're kind of wishing that last yearkind of went on a little bit longer.
You had one hell of a yearwith first going viral with the Logan
(03:00):
Paul thing at the Royal Rubble,and then you you had a big tag
team run with bron Stroman had hada great match at WrestleMania. Actually,
I attended WrestleMania and my guy Nickshout out Nikki said that that was most
entertaining match there. He he absolutelyloved your guys' match. So honestly,
man, that match. To touchon that match, that match was so
much fun, and I know Iknow that leading up to it, everyone
(03:24):
was like, oh, this isa match, just trot them to Gandler
where everyone was saying what they neededto say, And you know, I
saw it. I heard it,I know, but we were like,
and we all heard it, everybodyin that match. It's like, all
right, bet why why? Yeah? See it was it was one of
the it was so much fun.That whole thing was so much fun.
(03:45):
Well that's what he said. Hesaid, those big dudes, and he's
like that dude, Ricochet got upon the guy's shoulders and I'm like,
yeah, it's it's pretty incredible.So how do you plan to capitalize this
year? I mean, they gaveyou a big vote of confidence last year
with all your programs and highlighted youreally well on the Row program. What's
next for Ricosheer in twenty twenty four? Man? I mean, just to
keep the momentum going, to keepthe train going, you know what I
(04:05):
mean. That's I think that's everybody'sgoal. And I was talking earlier today
and just now now more than ever, everybody from top to bottom, from
a Kiratizala to Roman reigns, youknow what I mean, and everyone that
falls in between is the most talentedand capable p person to make whatever they
(04:31):
their goals possible. Everybody is soif Apollo cruise wants to be Intercontinental Champion
this year. It's probably going tobe hard to stop them. If if
somebody, I feel like now it'sso hard. So I think everybody's just
trying to keep it going. Andeven you see it now with the Sea
and Punks and the Druids and everybody, they're trying to keep their momentum going
because twenty twenty three ended, buttwenty twenty four just started. And there's
(04:56):
no reason that because that that yearended, that our momentum us to slow
down. So my goal is tokeep this train going. No better time
to coming up soon? Perfect transition, right, it's no it's no secret
that it's an exciting time in wrestlingas we head into WrestleMania season, which
starts with the Rumble coming up here, uh in a few weeks. So,
(05:20):
you know what what is the buzzlike in in the locker room around
this time of year, because obviouslywith us fans like, we're we're getting
hyped. We're over here fantasy bookendthinking about you know what could be main
event WrestleMania, Who's a who's acontender in the Rumble? You know what
what is the buzz like in thelocker room man. The Royal Rumble,
I think again, because a lotof us when we were younger, we
(05:41):
watched the Royal Rumbles as one ofour our favorite you know, pay per
views at the time. And soevery year when it comes up, our
our energy starts to get a littleflowing, our excitement starts to get you
know, a little you know,trank it up to you know eleven,
just because of what for one,what it means, what the Royal Rumble
(06:02):
means and everything, and all theopportunities that it can present because obviously made
a bit WrestleMania title all of that. But then not only that, but
the the individual accolades within the RoyalRumble. Now you know what I mean,
most eliminations, longest time, wellthe shortest time. So there's so
(06:23):
much that the Royal Rumble offers,and you know we're getting close and you
know New Year's uh a, ourall our excitement just starts to you know,
brank up the one hundred. I'vealways been fascinated with Rick Hachet with
how the how the Royal Rumble worksand how it's laid out. Me and
Billy were actually invited and went acouple of years ago when the WWE came
(06:45):
to Saint Louis, and it's fascinating. It it's so fun to see that
happen just just in person as aperformer. I mean, I can only
imagine what it's like just going outthere during a regular match and just having
a fun moment. You obviously hadthat viral moment with Logan Paul last year
at the Royal And and does itfeel like just like another match when you're
(07:05):
out there of it? The ring'sa little bit crowded. I know you
guys have to watch your spots alittle bit, but what's the anxiety?
Like, No, it's it doesnot feel like just another match. It's
chaos. It literally is chaos becausein one corner you have guys trying to
throw each other out, and anothercorner you have two guys who are trying
(07:30):
to, you know, beat upon your best friend or something. And
then in this corner there's so muchgoing on, and then someone's trying to
throw you out in the process.There's so much going on. It really
is it really is chaos. It'sthe only word I can think of.
Fun. It's fun, it's fun. But man, again, that's what
I said, cool heads prevail becausein that chaos, you have to stay
cool, you have to stay calm, you have to stay collected, or
(07:54):
you can just be brock lessener.There's like two things, you know what
I mean, there's two things thatwork well. Ricks to watch yourself.
You're the high flyer, so yougot to watch yourself on those ropes.
Man. Absolutely, yeah, absolutely, So like a lot of my arsenal
gets taken away, so I haveto I'm more of a counterpuncher and I
got a CounterPunch, so it's yeah, the Royal Room wild, I mean
(08:16):
that, That's what always amazes meis the you know, the close calls
where guys are you know, skinnthe cat to get back in the ring.
I'm like, if that goes wrong, hopefully that's not you know,
the winner of the match ends up. I remember Kofe Kingston had kind of
a you know, a little bitof a botch on his amazing uh kind
of you know getting back in thering finishes. But yeah, that was
(08:37):
tough. And then the infamous uhSena and Batista ending in two thousand and
five. Oh man, I can'teven imagine being in that position. Crazy,
what a moment, just think allof it. What a what a
segment and time? What a segmentin time? What a wild moment?
Yeah, but that's again that's justwho knows. Who knows what's going to
(09:01):
happen? Who knows. We don'tknow what's gonna happen. Well, Austin
mentioned your high flying style. Youknow, I don't think that's any secret
to our fans that you have avery you know, exciting, electrifying style
in the ring. You know,how do you kind of right, how
do you kind of you know,balance though, you know, kind of
protecting your body and doing those dangerousstunts in the ring that you do,
(09:24):
because obviously longevity is a huge thingin wrestling. I mean, well,
do you guys remember I think itwas I want to say The Dark Knight.
I don't know if it's The DarkKnight. It had to be the
second one. One of my favoritemovies where you know, Bruce is like
taking off his stuff and he's like, oh, Bruce dop and Albert he's
(09:46):
like he's like, sir, He'slike you got to stop, you got
to slow down. You can't keepdoing this. And he's like Batman,
can't stop. You know, He'slike Batman can't, you know, And
that's kind of how I feel aboutit, Like Brickochet, can't. You
got to keep going, you knowwhat I mean? And I think just
pushing that boundary, pushing the limitand breaking those limits that I feel like
(10:09):
have been put on a hot flyerof you know what I mean, like
within the world of just wrestling ingeneral. So I feel like, man
like what Ray Mysterio has done,you know before me in maj styles and
those guys, I feel like breakingthose limits and really accomplishing what you set
out to accomplish is phenomenal, andthat's kind of what keeps me going.
(10:33):
That's kind of what it is reallyyou mentioned right there, Ray Mysteria.
I've heard you in other interviews Ricochetwhere you've kind of talked about that's like
a dream match for you. Andhe's even upon you saying that Eddie Guerrero
would have loved to have worked withyou. And what is someone like you?
How does someone like you take that? You know, like just hearing
that from your idol, someone likeRay Mysterio and a guy who you're fairly
(10:56):
work rate, you know, similarwise, everyone you're very exciting, you
know, the high flying high risk. What's it like kind of being under
the wing of someone like that Raymisteriaand hearing those words about another legend like
Eddie Guerrero. No, I meanabsolutely too, because again, everyone knows
how close they were, everyone knowstheir relationship. So to hear that,
you don't take that for granted.You do not take that lightly. Again,
(11:22):
even the first time I remember meetingRay, like, he just seems
like not real, you know,it's so funny. But to be able
to now kind of be someone Iwould call a friend is It's just phenomenal
the show again when I'm saying,like, breaking those limits, breaking those
barriers that may have been put onyou, whether it's yourself or society.
(11:48):
Again, I'm from Paducah, Kentucky. I've never would to shout out Paducah.
I never would have thought. Nowthat you know twenty almost twenty one
years later, Great Mysterious considered afriend of mine and who can counsel me
and give me guidance on what ittook for him to get where he's at.
Man, it's it's amazing to behere in this position and to hopefully
(12:11):
do that for someone you know andanybody you need anybody who you know need
some help hopefully be able to youknow, take it forward. It's it's
great, man, it's really awesome. We're talking to WWE superstar Ricochet,
who you could see at Monday NightRawl, coming to Rapperina in February.
A couple more questions, we'll sendyou on your way, Orcochet. I
appreciate you taking the time again.But you know, we mentioned WrestleMania season
(12:33):
is upon us, and I alwayslike to ask wrestlers, you know,
WrestleMania is really kind of what mademe fall in love with wrestling. Imagine
it's a lot of the same forcurrent wrestlers too, when they were growing
up. What's your favorite WrestleMania moment? What's what's the moment that you watch
that you're like, man, Igot to be on that stage one day.
I mean, honestly, I Ifeel like, for me, the
(12:54):
first one. There's so many,but the one that you've asked asked specifically.
Sorry to answer that question specifically,I feel like it would have had
to have been like maybe here,maybe WrestleMania fifteen Rock Austin. I think
that's when I maybe started thinking aboutlike not like, oh I want to
(13:18):
do this, but like I think, man, like, wouldn't it be
cool to be there? I guessI don't know. I think because before
that I didn't really think about it, but seeing that, I think made
me want to like not do it. But again, I was so young
at the time, but I thinkthat was the match that really kind of
hooked me. I think just leadingup to it, but I think,
(13:43):
yeah, that one would be theone that kind of got me. Fil
that was a pretty fun WrestleMania thatthat was what I grew up with,
Wrestlemaniam when you talk about attitude eraand just kind of thrash in your face
television and yeah, taking off oneof the best rivalries ever Ricochet once again.
You guys are listening to the babyFaces podcast on iHeartRadio ninety seven to
(14:03):
five. WAMZ ninety eight won theBull We had WWE superstar Ricochet on one
more question will get you on yourway. You guys had just posted and
now it's no secret that you're engagedto Samantha Irvin, the Lovely ringnouncer does
a wonderful job and another power couple, Bianca bell Air and friend of the
show Montes forty guys are seen outof hanging out on New Year's Eve?
What was that like when when whenthe four of you hit the town?
(14:26):
Was that just kind of like ameetup thing? Was this like a WWE
holiday party, like a company thingor no? This was this was just
I guess four people, you know, for two couples getting together to have
you know, some time together.I think they had a show in La.
Who fun Saturday? Lovely, Ithink they had an LA show.
(14:46):
We were in Canada and actually Icame home on Saturday, so luckily I
got I had the day off.But they had a live event in LA
and I think they drove Saturday afterthe show. So yeah, for New
Year, we all, you know, they came back to Vegas and we
all just kind of, you know, just had a little night out.
We went to go see Bruno Mars. It was awesome. He's amazing.
(15:09):
A couple of months ago for afestival, it's an amazing show. Amazing.
Yeah, it was. It waseverything that I thought it was going
to be like when I said Iwanted to go see Bruno Mars. And
it's funny because when we first gottogether Sam and I I talked to her
about just how much I think,how much I like to listen to his
music. He's awesome. Bruno's awesome, So he's a good time. He's
(15:31):
a party. And I knew itwould be a good New Year's show,
and we were actually going to gosee Chris Brown. But then I think
everyone changed. I think Bruno wasmore of a New Year's sure. Yeah,

I don't know if it's The DarkKnight. It had to be the
second one. One of my favoritemovies where you know, Bruce is like
taking off his stuff and he's like, oh, Bruce dop and Albert he's
(09:46):
like he's like, sir, He'slike you got to stop, you got
to slow down. You can't keepdoing this. And he's like Batman,
can't stop. You know, He'slike Batman can't, you know, And
that's kind of how I feel aboutit, Like Brickochet, can't. You
got to keep going, you knowwhat I mean? And I think just
pushing that boundary, pushing the limitand breaking those limits that I feel like
(10:09):
have been put on a hot flyerof you know what I mean, like
within the world of just wrestling ingeneral. So I feel like, man
like what Ray Mysterio has done,you know before me in maj styles and
those guys, I feel like breakingthose limits and really accomplishing what you set
out to accomplish is phenomenal, andthat's kind of what keeps me going.
(10:33):
That's kind of what it is reallyyou mentioned right there, Ray Mysteria.
I've heard you in other interviews Ricochetwhere you've kind of talked about that's like
a dream match for you. Andhe's even upon you saying that Eddie Guerrero
would have loved to have worked withyou. And what is someone like you?
How does someone like you take that? You know, like just hearing
that from your idol, someone likeRay Mysterio and a guy who you're fairly
(10:56):
work rate, you know, similarwise, everyone you're very exciting, you
know, the high flying high risk. What's it like kind of being under
the wing of someone like that Raymisteriaand hearing those words about another legend like
Eddie Guerrero. No, I meanabsolutely too, because again, everyone knows
how close they were, everyone knowstheir relationship. So to hear that,
you don't take that for granted.You do not take that lightly. Again,
(11:22):
even the first time I remember meetingRay, like, he just seems
like not real, you know,it's so funny. But to be able
to now kind of be someone Iwould call a friend is It's just phenomenal
the show again when I'm saying,like, breaking those limits, breaking those
barriers that may have been put onyou, whether it's yourself or society.
(11:48):
Again, I'm from Paducah, Kentucky. I've never would to shout out Paducah.
I never would have thought. Nowthat you know twenty almost twenty one
years later, Great Mysterious considered afriend of mine and who can counsel me
and give me guidance on what ittook for him to get where he's at.
Man, it's it's amazing to behere in this position and to hopefully
(12:11):
do that for someone you know andanybody you need anybody who you know need
some help hopefully be able to youknow, take it forward. It's it's
great, man, it's really awesome. We're talking to WWE superstar Ricochet,
who you could see at Monday NightRawl, coming to Rapperina in February.
A couple more questions, we'll sendyou on your way, Orcochet. I
appreciate you taking the time again.But you know, we mentioned WrestleMania season
(12:33):
is upon us, and I alwayslike to ask wrestlers, you know,
WrestleMania is really kind of what mademe fall in love with wrestling. Imagine
it's a lot of the same forcurrent wrestlers too, when they were growing
up. What's your favorite WrestleMania moment? What's what's the moment that you watch
that you're like, man, Igot to be on that stage one day.
I mean, honestly, I Ifeel like, for me, the
(12:54):
first one. There's so many,but the one that you've asked asked specifically.
Sorry to answer that question specifically,I feel like it would have had
to have been like maybe here,maybe WrestleMania fifteen Rock Austin. I think
that's when I maybe started thinking aboutlike not like, oh I want to
(13:18):
do this, but like I think, man, like, wouldn't it be
cool to be there? I guessI don't know. I think because before
that I didn't really think about it, but seeing that, I think made
me want to like not do it. But again, I was so young
at the time, but I thinkthat was the match that really kind of
hooked me. I think just leadingup to it, but I think,
(13:43):
yeah, that one would be theone that kind of got me. Fil
that was a pretty fun WrestleMania thatthat was what I grew up with,
Wrestlemaniam when you talk about attitude eraand just kind of thrash in your face
television and yeah, taking off oneof the best rivalries ever Ricochet once again.
You guys are listening to the babyFaces podcast on iHeartRadio ninety seven to
(14:03):
five. WAMZ ninety eight won theBull We had WWE superstar Ricochet on one
more question will get you on yourway. You guys had just posted and
now it's no secret that you're engagedto Samantha Irvin, the Lovely ringnouncer does
a wonderful job and another power couple, Bianca bell Air and friend of the
show Montes forty guys are seen outof hanging out on New Year's Eve?
What was that like when when whenthe four of you hit the town?
(14:26):
Was that just kind of like ameetup thing? Was this like a WWE
holiday party, like a company thingor no? This was this was just
I guess four people, you know, for two couples getting together to have
you know, some time together.I think they had a show in La.
Who fun Saturday? Lovely, Ithink they had an LA show.
(14:46):
We were in Canada and actually Icame home on Saturday, so luckily I
got I had the day off.But they had a live event in LA
and I think they drove Saturday afterthe show. So yeah, for New
Year, we all, you know, they came back to Vegas and we
all just kind of, you know, just had a little night out.
We went to go see Bruno Mars. It was awesome. He's amazing.
(15:09):
A couple of months ago for afestival, it's an amazing show. Amazing.
Yeah, it was. It waseverything that I thought it was going
to be like when I said Iwanted to go see Bruno Mars. And
it's funny because when we first gottogether Sam and I I talked to her
about just how much I think,how much I like to listen to his
music. He's awesome. Bruno's awesome, So he's a good time. He's
(15:31):
