Speaker 1 (00:00):
I even again in the studio, Squeez New York boy bike, Rios.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Chell the man you God blessed.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I appreciate that. Actually, what let me maybe what's second bike?
What's second?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah? Take it time real quick.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
I would look at back up recording this to my
ducks to the row.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
All right, I want to take the chance and let
me share this to some people.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
That way, I could like, okay, okay, all right, I
recorded my computer my laptop down, so I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I'll do it in a bit so that way, I
don't want to take up too much of your tongue.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
All right, So I have my boy bike. So so
what's like? Who you are? What you do? Who? Who?
Who I order with? Right now?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
So Smike Mike, Rio's mister Wavey and I'm a striker.
I train a house of glory. I also do m
m a at Ray Longos. So I'm I'm doing both simultaneously.
But I know that's to get me to where I
want to be.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Okay, okay, uh where is he wants to be? I'll
come back he later, all right? So right behind that wave?
What's to be behind that?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
So mister Wavey is who I am as a person like.
So my background for those that know me, right, I've
played baseball at a high level middle school, high school, college.
All of those teams were related to the wave. You
(02:10):
get what I'm saying. So for let me give you
an example. Right. Middle school it was the Sharks, high
school it was the Dolphins. And when I played in college,
the team was the Wave right. And I made a
catchphrase for that college team that we were in Brooklyn,
(02:31):
Kingsboro to be exact, and I made a catch raise
called ride the Wave right. And I'm sure you probably
heard of him, but j RMANI great striker House of
Glory lp W. I remember talking to him on the
train always from training, and you know, I'd always ask
(02:52):
for like tips and things that I can do for
for who I want to be. You get what I'm saying.
And when I asked him about character wise, he told me,
think deep, but it's only an extension of who you are,
like who you are times ten, you know what I mean.
(03:12):
So I was thinking about it. I'm like, I was
thinking deep, you know what I'm saying. And wavy. I
thought about it because my hair is wavy. You get
what I'm saying. And I'm sure you probably heard of
wavy like back then a couple of years ago, for example,
Like you know how some people say, oh that's fire,
that's tough. You get what I'm saying, like.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
When people see me, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Exactly, like wavey is nice. You get what I'm saying,
Like when people see me, I want people to say
he's wavy. You get what I'm saying, like not only
with the character and the way I carry myself, but
you know from the strikes and how I interact with
the fans as I'm doing that.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Okay, okay, so you are the waby is right the
way just the wayby got you got? You got your
what trading with a basic Reddit?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Could you repeat that one? My time relaxed a little bit,
so thank you.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
See I appreciate that, Yes, thank you?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I got you.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Yeah, so I asked the stuff?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
What is it? Sorry? What's it like to trade at
LPW slash House of Worry?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I mean to be honest, Before I even went into it,
I kind of had a head start, Like I did
my research on the school and actually I joined because
I was at a gym, you know what I'm saying,
blink in Manhattan, And I actually met three of the
(04:53):
wrestlers that trained there. You get what I'm saying. I
met Raheem Royale, Jody Ara, and Dante Griffith and they
were working out and I noticed they had shirts that
average fans wouldn't have. So I asked them about it
and they told me that they train at House of Glory.
(05:16):
And I was like, wait, I heard about that school
and I know it's really good. And they told me
more about it, and then you know, I did my
research even more. I looked at the tryouts and how
they train. You get what I'm saying. And to be honest,
in my opinion, I feel like there's no better school
(05:36):
or training wise like than House of Glory. Everybody's like
a family there and we're all willing to like help
each other learn. You get what I'm saying from other people,
whether it be character wise, certain techniques. You know, everybody
is always willing to help each other grow. So it's
(05:57):
a very good atmosphere to train there. You know what
I'm saying. You that's the highest level. You get what
I'm saying. And the people that learned from him too,
you can you can tell, like everybody who learns from
him is you could see what they're capable of.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
It's basic Red.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Right yeah, yeah, and who he teaches too. You get
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Okay, So what's so, what's your pristal experience, Well, work
with Red, your personal experience, work with him, interacting with him.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Uh So I remember doing the chops, like you know,
first class first started and the chops and yeah, he
was saying like, yo, you gotta you gotta lay it in.
So you know, in training class with doing it back
and forth, he did it all me. I'm like, damn,
you know what I mean, Like that one impact you
(06:54):
could already tell like, yeah, it's no joke, it's no joke,
but that I mean running the ropes with him, doing
a couple of drills. So I haven't been in the
school too too long, but from the experience that I've had,
like I've always learned, and you know, I've always asked
(07:15):
questions to him and you know other people around you
get what I'm saying. Always willing to learn from everybody.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Okay, Okay, tell us about training at long Goals.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Okay. So the reason why, like it goes back into
talking about me and HARMANI and those train rides you
get what I'm saying. He would tell me his experience
at MMA schools and you know, put me in a kuda.
I'm sure you've heard of him. He trains there and
look at everything he's capable of, and look at everything
(07:57):
he's capable of doing, and he's gonna be at you know,
he's gonna be signed by the UFC very soon. And
the techniques. You get what I'm saying. Like I knew
if I wanted to be a pro wrestler at a
high level, I had to have some sort of martial
arts background and Ray Long after talking to him and
(08:19):
Pumi Nakuda, they told me that, yeah, this is gonna
take your career to the next level for sure. So
I didn't even hesitate call them for a free tryout.
In my head it was a signing up. It was
a free tryout, but already going in, I knew I
wanted to sign up already. You get what I'm saying.
(08:41):
So I mean from the people that train there, like
constantly willing to help you, Like I got people I
call family on both sides of you know what I'm saying,
House of Glory and Ray Long goes. You know, it's
good to be surrounded in environments where everybody is willing
to make each other better in everything. You get what
(09:01):
I'm saying, even just a better person too, you know
what i mean. So it's very great from you having
a boxing coach, the you're doing kickboxing, muy Thai, jiu jitsu,
there's wrestling in there too, and you know the MMA classes.
We do everything at the same time simultaneously. But you
(09:22):
know there's there's guys in there that we trained two
three times in there, and we put in work. Just
Matt's sweaty crazy. But I will say for sure that
training there for the time that I've been there at
(09:43):
ray Longo's, it's definitely already I'm already seeing improvements. You
know what I'm saying. Because I want I want to
be able to do a little bit of everything. You
get what I'm saying. I want to be technical, I
want to be able to strike. I want to be
able to have submissions that I could use. You get
(10:04):
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So, okay, So question.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
So to.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
So do you want to be at a big fire?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Do you want to I was talking about this with
a few of my boys that I trained at ray
Lango and I was telling them that, like, although we
have different goals, Like you know, they they trained at
the MMA gam they're trying to get it to the UFC,
you know what I'm saying. But me, I'm trying to
use those skills that I learned in the MMA school
(10:38):
to use that to become a better pro wrestler. More specifically,
one of my goals is to wrestle in a new
Japan ring. So having that MMA background and having, like
I said, the training at House of Glory, I could
(10:59):
see myself getting there in the future. And not only that,
but I do look forward to fighting a few guys
from House of Glory in New Japan, for example Tiny Giant,
aix Amagi. And I was also gonna say to another one,
(11:21):
I'm really looking forward to Danny Styles in the new
Japan ring. Okay, I feel like we're going to make
some magic happen in a new Japan ring for sure.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Well more that a little bit though before before I
get that all by way there right well quick?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
So however, however, repeat.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
That never considered at all. So I've thought about it
only because I feel like if I were to do that,
it would make me more of a legitimate like you
get what I'm saying. Yes, But to be honest, the
(12:10):
main reason I even joined the MMA school was for
pro wrestling. I'm not sure if in the future, you know,
it goes that route, but I'm putting all of that
knowledge that I get from everybody in that MMA School
(12:30):
and applying that to pro wrestling, and now at that point,
it's just me involving my character. You get what I'm saying,
interacting with fans and so what you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Okay, okay, uh all right, Uh let's be so serious.
Let's have some fun here. Last week we did I
think you were there, right, Crucible, You're in the Battle
Royal becauout the state.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yep, yep. I was in the first round of people
that came in.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah's talk about that's about? What's about that? You go like,
how how was Crucible athlete?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yeah, so it's it's not been my first Battle Royal.
You know what I'm saying, It didn't and how I
go how I wanted it to go. But the last
two Battle Royales I got eliminated by the winners. So
before Crucible, I got eliminated by Superfly Bride and now
(13:34):
Danny Styles. You know what I'm saying, there's positives and
there's negatives. Because I showed, like I said, I'm one
of the waviest strikers in lp W. I showed what
I'm capable of. But then again, this LPW roster, the talent,
(13:55):
they just keep on improving, you know what I'm saying.
So for the next one, I just gotta be better, stronger, faster,
and more prepared.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
M okay, okay, bet uh the benefit of bets the
was it? What was it called the what's it called
the Tits?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, So that show. I went there to
obviously support the cause, you get what I'm saying, got
to support breast cancer. But I've a couple of people
that I trained with were at that show. They're wrestling
on that show, and I couldn't miss it. Had to
(14:46):
support the cause, had to support the people I trained with,
and it was It was a good show overall. It
was good seeing the Goat one of the people. And
I'm not the only one that can say that because
he's he's helped a lot of us, Carlos, some of
ra Mirror's, He's helped a lot of us in our careers.
(15:09):
And specifically more me too. Like I I can really
say that because he's pushed me. Every time that I've
trained with him, He's pushed me to another level, and
he's seen more in me than at times I've seen
in myself. So watching him go to what like, I'm
same way you taking notes. I'm taking notes, but I
(15:30):
see him. I'm seeing the moves. You get what I'm saying.
So and seeing seeing the people you train with too,
you get what I'm saying. Just watching everybody do their thing.
Like I said, it's like a family. You know what
i mean. We all support each other. You know what
I'm saying, push each other. Oh you could do this better?
You could do You get what I'm saying. This looks good,
(15:51):
you know what i mean. So it's a good environment
for sure. For sure, it's good supporting your people, supporting
the cause.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I had that man you bettioned his day quite a
few times. Was so far right? Tell me about your
relationship with Daddy's styles.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
So after I've gotten hurt, I hurt my back. You
get what I'm saying. It's been a minute since I
was training there. You get what I'm saying. And we
were at one of the House of Glory shows and
I met him for the first time, you get what
I'm saying, and we started talking, you know, while we
were paying our dues, and you know, the way I
(16:32):
think and the way where I want to go, we
kind of thought the same, you get what I'm saying,
Like we both love Japan, we both plan on wrestling
in Japan and love anime too, so it immediately click
and we were talking about that goals and we were
(16:54):
talking about like wrestling in the New Japan ring. So
from there it kind of just sink. And we both
want to do like a strong style, you get what
I'm saying, Like we want to be strikers, you know
what I mean. So immediately we talked about like our
favorite matches we watched what made us want to become strikers,
(17:16):
and you know, just banger after banger with these not
only New Japan, but the old Japan. You get what
I'm saying, The pro wrestling Noah, even the Dragon Gate.
Just watching all types of Japanese strong style just made
us connect more, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Okay, okay earlier alluded to its earlier, but so with Japan, right,
what like, what are your short term goals.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
So originally I want to build my way up right,
so I want to be a junior heavyweight and then
eventually move up to heavyweight. But one of my goals
is to just win a New Japan championship in the future.
You go, I'm saying, obviously it's gonna take time.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
That's what a Walter goal to which a short term
in the future.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
To be honest, just show everything I can possibly do,
not only in the ring, but as my character. You
know what I'm saying. I want to make sure everybody
knows who Wavy is. You get what I'm saying. I
want to be able to connect with the fans, and
(18:47):
then you know, those accomplishments will come later on. You
know what I'm saying. Once I build myself up to
that level, then those things will lead to that. But
i'd say, like just building the connection with everybody, making
sure okay, oh mister Wavey's on that card, I can't
miss that, you know what I'm saying, Like, i'd say,
(19:10):
that's my short term goal in New Japan. Like he's
a really good striker, but not only really good, he's Wavy.
You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
You got to got to what are some of your
long term goal? The goal.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
So yeah, I mean long term is definitely wrestling guys
at that level. You get what I'm saying, Like if
it was possible to be able to still do it
like guys like Koda Abushi, Konoski Takeshta, guys like Kenny Omega,
(19:52):
be able to prove that eventually when I get to
that level, I can hang with those guys.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Got okay, okay, all right, well I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not the part where I've reached listener questions. So
of course of the week that and abouts this, right,
I've since people will hit the hot light up at
nine one seven to eight three eight five six right,
text email as an email two but that that the
(20:20):
bird but anyway text voice and uh just or live
call it. Right, So I could pile the list of
questions from various listeners. Yeah, yeah, you can do that.
You have found.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
You're good.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, but yeah, the list of various questions. So here
we go again. This person used the hot light that
was seven between three five six. This person asked, do
you follow Bordern wrestling?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah? But also I try to tap into the stuff
I know I've never watched before. For example, like we
were talking back before, I've been tuning into a lot
of the old Japan stuff, Like I've been trying to
watch you know, older stuff before I was born because
I was born in three so I haven't watched anything
(21:20):
before that time. So I'm trying to watch a lot
of that. But I'm still watching, you know, the modern stuff. Okay,
so pretty much into both. You get what I'm saying
because I know they're both two different products. But I
just want to be able to consume everything because wrestling
(21:44):
is constantly changing.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Okay, I ask you now, right, so you Jap, you
said what you only follow Japan nothing else?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
No, I follow, uh w w E, A E W.
I followed those, but I mean w w E is
eventually the end goal, but before I get to that level,
I definitely want to wrestle in New Japan before making
it to w W.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Okay, do you plant the whole patal? What they at
the w W A to believe? Yeah? You got you? Okay, Okay,
what's second hair? All right? Do you follow? Do you
follow matter every day?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Okay, like uf C Belltour, uf C, uf C UF
you see, I've been gonna lie. I haven't. I haven't
followed UFC since like Oh Died. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I mean I believe got.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
And what they've started though right now.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I don't want to say. Over the past year, I've
been watching a lot more UFC, and I mean even
playing the games. You get what I'm saying. Like it
it can make you a better fighter in some sort
of way because it's like you're you're trained to look
at all different things, you know what I mean, because
(23:18):
there's so many aspects to m m A.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Okay, So Dave the quick because I'm I'm like, I
haven't followed you the UFC since like oh died. Freshman
to high school.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Alex Pierra, That's that's one of those names. Israel Adasanya
really like watching him. Like I said again, Pumi Nakuda man,
I mean he really has to. Like there's no way
(23:53):
Dana White doesn't sign him by now, Like he's that good.
He's that good, So for sure, definitely one of those guys.
You gotta watch his fights. Umina Kuda too, but yeah,
some good guys there.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Uh this person acts. How did you become a fan.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Of wrestling?
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I've got to soup. So yeah, wrestling every grade? Yeah,
both both, I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Okay, So wrestling, I was a my father put me
onto that. I was always watching, Like my favorite wrestler
was John Cena. You get what I'm saying. So yeah, yeah,
I would always have the action figures and I remember
(24:46):
just watching him with my grandma too. Just yeah, as
a kid, I always thought about it like what if
I was a pro wrestler, Like how would I look?
Like what would I do? You get what I'm saying.
And you know, there was times where I was in
and out of it. But when I before I decided
(25:10):
to join the school, I knew I was like, Okay,
I got both feet on the door. You get what
I'm saying. Because before I joined, I took like a
year to book up and you know what I'm saying.
That's when I joined. But so that that made me
want to do it, you get what I'm saying. But
(25:32):
also too, like I said, it made me love wrestling, right,
But when I really started thinking about doing it was
when I started tuning into like New Japan, like the
guys like keny Omega, guys like We're lost Ray, you
get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Okay, okay, I have two more questions here. This person asks,
I wouldn't modify.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
It, So do you want me to answer the MMA
side of it? What made me?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (26:05):
No, No, it's up to you, Bus, It's up to you.
Up to you.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Oh, I lost track before, so it.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Was kind of similar to before. Now you put bus
it was it's kind of similar to before. You know
what I'm saying, j RMANI Pumi to Kuda. They informed
me about that, and I did my research. I'm like, yeah,
look at what what guys came out of these gyms,
(26:33):
you know what I mean. And even though I'm in
far Rockaway and that's in Long Island, I knew that, Like,
if I want to get to a high level, I
gotta take the risk, even if I'm getting home eleven
twelve at home in the night every day after that.
You know what I'm saying. It's like certain things you
(26:54):
have to prioritize, you know what I mean. And I
don't mind missing a couple hours of sleep homely as
long as I get to my training, that's what matters.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I just will say trade and time because trust me,
roughly to compare tow was like I think making that
decision all right, I kind of like a past midnight.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yes, it's very bad. I mean, like I said, everybody's
like families. Uh, sometimes there's somebody able to you know,
take me to a train station. We talk, like I'm saying,
picking people's brains constantly, whether it's in pro wrestling, whether
it's in MMA, like just constantly trying to be better
every day anyway that I can. But it is it
(27:46):
is a travel. It is a travel. But when I
played college baseball, uh, it was the same thing. It
was about two three hours traveling, So I knew, okay,
I was already used to it. And not only that,
but if something that I genuinely want to do for
for my not only career, but that's just who I
(28:08):
want to be, you know what I mean, Like, these
are things that I have to make adjustments to and
it's it's tough sometimes because if I do any overtime,
like even thirty minutes to an hour, I wouldn't be
able to make it to train it because I'd have
to take the Long Island railroad to get there and
(28:32):
then back. Is really the trouble because of not only
the times, but I have to take like three four
different buses, you know what I mean. But it's worth it.
It's worth it not only the the people who teach there,
but the people who train there too, So it's it's
worth it.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
It's worth it, oll, Right, Like what do you what
do you probly start getting tracks and succeeding in your career? Right,
Like talk about taking the bus right, next thing you
know you're gonna be take You're gonna be driving there.
Take the trade there. I'll give you example, right, So
(29:13):
might of school. I'm straight out of high school.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Uh, I know I'm broke because I'm just a kid. Right,
but you know I got a job at the New
York State Department Buildings, right, and you know I worked
that job. I remember coming home with past midnight this
that there, taking two three trains, you know, doing like
two hours straight back and forth. But when you stick
(29:40):
at it, right, if you get succeed so making making money,
then you're able to like, all right, I'm taking the
railroad home half our run.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
You know what it is also too, I will say,
is it's not so much of the traveling time there,
you know what I mean, It's about you enjoying the process,
you know what I mean, Like, not thing happens overnight. Right,
So if you're whatever you're going to or whatever you're
gonna do, if you enjoy doing what you do, regardless
(30:09):
of the money, regardless of how much you get paid,
you're gonna flourish, you know what I mean, because at
the end of the day, you're doing that because you
want to. It's not like you're forced to or something
like that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Wait, not, My point was saying that, right, if you
just whatever, whether it's that or this, right, if if
it will top it out be getting right, you're gonna
be comfortable. You'll say do it regardless saying get it
like it's easier once saying.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Yeah, over time, I mean you get it adjusted to it,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yeah, all right, cool, cool, cool. So I would have
bought it by this next question this person, well, I'm
modifying it, but so you bet lo japarents wwe Have
you ever considered the AW.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I have? I have? Actually that's actually when I realized, Okay,
there's a lot of promotions out there, like it's wrestling
is truly a possibility. When AW first started, like the
first ever a w show and I remember watching that
(31:27):
live and I'm Kenny was on al those cards. Just
watching it in general, I'm like, wow, wrestling has just
flourished in not only WWE, but so many other companies.
You know what I'm saying now X Obviously NXT was popping,
but you know NXT still is going strong, and now
(31:49):
they're making it even more developmental too. That with WWE
Evolved and they have that LFG thing too, I've heard
about too.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
That's still going on.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I'm not too sure. I'm not too sure, but.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I could be wrong, but I think I got careful.
I got checked.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
There's been a wo minute since I tuned into that.
But I mean the Evolved has been really good. Like
I mean, there's there's so many promotions out there with
really good wrestling, you know what I'm saying, a lot
of good talent.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah, yeah, what are it's like this level right here
at the high level or even the independent circuit, like
it's very.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
That's another thing that I did learn from Red too.
He tells everybody in the school, you know, watch everything,
like all the companies, no matter where it is you
get I'm saying, Japanics, whatever it is, watch everything, whether
people regardless whether people think it's bad, good, whatever, the cases,
(32:59):
still want ship. You know what I'm saying, Just consume it,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Mm hmmm, I know that's what you be. That's why
I'm trying to do right now. Ye'll see, just can
consume as much as you can. There's so many different styles,
you know what I'm saying. There's literally everything.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
You can find now like a lot of people are
doing everything now. There's there's a lot of talent and
all these promotions.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
All right, and I have one bart of question. Uh hm, clearly, uh,
Daddy's styles is influenced by eighty styles. He's not He's
not shy about say that too. So if that said,
could you repeat that on my turn? Oh, I'll say
clearly that Daddy styles, right, it's it was by aging styles.
(33:53):
Say that you know that's y yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
And it goes back into what we were talking about
when I first met him. He was talking to me
about that and we were talking about influences to us,
you know what I mean. And yep, he's mentioned that.
He's mentioned that for sure.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
So with that said, right, what's like, what's your influence?
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Oh, that's really good. That's a good question because so
I remember we was in class, right, we was watching
matches as a whole, right, and Onny King was putting
the matches right, yes, And he put us onto a
match from Pro Wrestling No. One right, and it was
(34:40):
Kenno versus Katsuhiko Nakajima. Right. And immediately when he put that,
I knew, like my head like watching it, I was like,
this is the type of wrestler I want to be.
You get what I'm saying, Like a strong style type
(35:01):
of striker, heavy on the kicks, the knees. You know
what I'm saying, Keno, Nakajima. These are guys at the
highest level, Shinski Nakamura. You know what I mean that
Roger not Roderick Strong, Kyler, Riley, Bobby Fish is up

Speaker 1 (00:37):
That way, I could like, okay, okay, all right, I

Speaker 2 (00:50):
I'll do it in a bit so that way, I

Speaker 1 (00:57):
All right, So I have my boy bike. So so
what's like? Who you are? What you do? Who? Who?
Who I order with? Right now?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
So Smike Mike, Rio's mister Wavey and I'm a striker.
I train a house of glory. I also do m
m a at Ray Longos. So I'm I'm doing both simultaneously.
But I know that's to get me to where I
want to be.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Okay, okay, uh where is he wants to be? I'll
come back he later, all right? So right behind that wave?
What's to be behind that?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
So mister Wavey is who I am as a person like.
So my background for those that know me, right, I've
played baseball at a high level middle school, high school, college.
All of those teams were related to the wave. You
(02:10):
get what I'm saying. So for let me give you
an example. Right. Middle school it was the Sharks, high
school it was the Dolphins. And when I played in college,
the team was the Wave right. And I made a
catchphrase for that college team that we were in Brooklyn,
(02:31):
Kingsboro to be exact, and I made a catch raise
called ride the Wave right. And I'm sure you probably
heard of him, but j RMANI great striker House of
Glory lp W. I remember talking to him on the
train always from training, and you know, I'd always ask
(02:52):
for like tips and things that I can do for
for who I want to be. You get what I'm saying.
And when I asked him about character wise, he told me,
think deep, but it's only an extension of who you are,
like who you are times ten, you know what I mean.
(03:12):
So I was thinking about it. I'm like, I was
thinking deep, you know what I'm saying. And wavy. I
thought about it because my hair is wavy. You get
what I'm saying. And I'm sure you probably heard of
wavy like back then a couple of years ago, for example,
Like you know how some people say, oh that's fire,
that's tough. You get what I'm saying, like.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
When people see me, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Exactly, like wavey is nice. You get what I'm saying,
Like when people see me, I want people to say
he's wavy. You get what I'm saying, like not only
with the character and the way I carry myself, but
you know from the strikes and how I interact with
the fans as I'm doing that.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Okay, okay, so you are the waby is right the
way just the wayby got you got? You got your
what trading with a basic Reddit?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Could you repeat that one? My time relaxed a little bit,
so thank you.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
See I appreciate that, Yes, thank you?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I got you.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Yeah, so I asked the stuff?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
What is it? Sorry? What's it like to trade at
LPW slash House of Worry?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I mean to be honest, Before I even went into it,
I kind of had a head start, Like I did
my research on the school and actually I joined because
I was at a gym, you know what I'm saying,
blink in Manhattan, And I actually met three of the
(04:53):
wrestlers that trained there. You get what I'm saying. I
met Raheem Royale, Jody Ara, and Dante Griffith and they
were working out and I noticed they had shirts that
average fans wouldn't have. So I asked them about it
and they told me that they train at House of Glory.
(05:16):
And I was like, wait, I heard about that school
and I know it's really good. And they told me
more about it, and then you know, I did my
research even more. I looked at the tryouts and how
they train. You get what I'm saying. And to be honest,
in my opinion, I feel like there's no better school
(05:36):
or training wise like than House of Glory. Everybody's like
a family there and we're all willing to like help
each other learn. You get what I'm saying from other people,
whether it be character wise, certain techniques. You know, everybody
is always willing to help each other grow. So it's
(05:57):
a very good atmosphere to train there. You know what
I'm saying. You that's the highest level. You get what
I'm saying. And the people that learned from him too,
you can you can tell, like everybody who learns from
him is you could see what they're capable of.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
It's basic Red.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Right yeah, yeah, and who he teaches too. You get
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Okay, So what's so, what's your pristal experience, Well, work
with Red, your personal experience, work with him, interacting with him.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Uh So I remember doing the chops, like you know,
first class first started and the chops and yeah, he
was saying like, yo, you gotta you gotta lay it in.
So you know, in training class with doing it back
and forth, he did it all me. I'm like, damn,
you know what I mean, Like that one impact you
(06:54):
could already tell like, yeah, it's no joke, it's no joke,
but that I mean running the ropes with him, doing
a couple of drills. So I haven't been in the
school too too long, but from the experience that I've had,
like I've always learned, and you know, I've always asked
(07:15):
questions to him and you know other people around you
get what I'm saying. Always willing to learn from everybody.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Okay, Okay, tell us about training at long Goals.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Okay. So the reason why, like it goes back into
talking about me and HARMANI and those train rides you
get what I'm saying. He would tell me his experience
at MMA schools and you know, put me in a kuda.
I'm sure you've heard of him. He trains there and
look at everything he's capable of, and look at everything
(07:57):
he's capable of doing, and he's gonna be at you know,
he's gonna be signed by the UFC very soon. And
the techniques. You get what I'm saying. Like I knew
if I wanted to be a pro wrestler at a
high level, I had to have some sort of martial
arts background and Ray Long after talking to him and
(08:19):
Pumi Nakuda, they told me that, yeah, this is gonna
take your career to the next level for sure. So
I didn't even hesitate call them for a free tryout.
In my head it was a signing up. It was
a free tryout, but already going in, I knew I
wanted to sign up already. You get what I'm saying.
(08:41):
So I mean from the people that train there, like
constantly willing to help you, Like I got people I
call family on both sides of you know what I'm saying,
House of Glory and Ray Long goes. You know, it's
good to be surrounded in environments where everybody is willing
to make each other better in everything. You get what
(09:01):
I'm saying, even just a better person too, you know
what i mean. So it's very great from you having
a boxing coach, the you're doing kickboxing, muy Thai, jiu jitsu,
there's wrestling in there too, and you know the MMA classes.
We do everything at the same time simultaneously. But you
(09:22):
know there's there's guys in there that we trained two
three times in there, and we put in work. Just
Matt's sweaty crazy. But I will say for sure that
training there for the time that I've been there at
(09:43):
ray Longo's, it's definitely already I'm already seeing improvements. You
know what I'm saying. Because I want I want to
be able to do a little bit of everything. You
get what I'm saying. I want to be technical, I
want to be able to strike. I want to be
able to have submissions that I could use. You get
(10:04):
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So, okay, So question.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
So to.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
So do you want to be at a big fire?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Do you want to I was talking about this with
a few of my boys that I trained at ray
Lango and I was telling them that, like, although we
have different goals, Like you know, they they trained at
the MMA gam they're trying to get it to the UFC,
you know what I'm saying. But me, I'm trying to
use those skills that I learned in the MMA school
(10:38):
to use that to become a better pro wrestler. More specifically,
one of my goals is to wrestle in a new
Japan ring. So having that MMA background and having, like
I said, the training at House of Glory, I could
(10:59):
see myself getting there in the future. And not only that,
but I do look forward to fighting a few guys
from House of Glory in New Japan, for example Tiny Giant,
aix Amagi. And I was also gonna say to another one,
(11:21):
I'm really looking forward to Danny Styles in the new
Japan ring. Okay, I feel like we're going to make
some magic happen in a new Japan ring for sure.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Well more that a little bit though before before I
get that all by way there right well quick?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
So however, however, repeat.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
That never considered at all. So I've thought about it
only because I feel like if I were to do that,
it would make me more of a legitimate like you
get what I'm saying. Yes, But to be honest, the
(12:10):
main reason I even joined the MMA school was for
pro wrestling. I'm not sure if in the future, you know,
it goes that route, but I'm putting all of that
knowledge that I get from everybody in that MMA School
(12:30):
and applying that to pro wrestling, and now at that point,
it's just me involving my character. You get what I'm saying,
interacting with fans and so what you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Okay, okay, uh all right, Uh let's be so serious.
Let's have some fun here. Last week we did I
think you were there, right, Crucible, You're in the Battle
Royal becauout the state.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yep, yep. I was in the first round of people
that came in.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah's talk about that's about? What's about that? You go like,
how how was Crucible athlete?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yeah, so it's it's not been my first Battle Royal.
You know what I'm saying, It didn't and how I
go how I wanted it to go. But the last
two Battle Royales I got eliminated by the winners. So
before Crucible, I got eliminated by Superfly Bride and now
(13:34):
Danny Styles. You know what I'm saying, there's positives and
there's negatives. Because I showed, like I said, I'm one
of the waviest strikers in lp W. I showed what
I'm capable of. But then again, this LPW roster, the talent,
(13:55):
they just keep on improving, you know what I'm saying.
So for the next one, I just gotta be better, stronger, faster,
and more prepared.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
M okay, okay, bet uh the benefit of bets the
was it? What was it called the what's it called
the Tits?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, So that show. I went there to
obviously support the cause, you get what I'm saying, got
to support breast cancer. But I've a couple of people
that I trained with were at that show. They're wrestling
on that show, and I couldn't miss it. Had to
(14:46):
support the cause, had to support the people I trained with,
and it was It was a good show overall. It
was good seeing the Goat one of the people. And
I'm not the only one that can say that because
he's he's helped a lot of us, Carlos, some of
ra Mirror's, He's helped a lot of us in our careers.
(15:09):
And specifically more me too. Like I I can really
say that because he's pushed me. Every time that I've
trained with him, He's pushed me to another level, and
he's seen more in me than at times I've seen
in myself. So watching him go to what like, I'm
same way you taking notes. I'm taking notes, but I
(15:30):
see him. I'm seeing the moves. You get what I'm saying.
So and seeing seeing the people you train with too,
you get what I'm saying. Just watching everybody do their thing.
Like I said, it's like a family. You know what
i mean. We all support each other. You know what
I'm saying, push each other. Oh you could do this better?
You could do You get what I'm saying. This looks good,
(15:51):
you know what i mean. So it's a good environment
for sure. For sure, it's good supporting your people, supporting
the cause.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I had that man you bettioned his day quite a
few times. Was so far right? Tell me about your
relationship with Daddy's styles.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
So after I've gotten hurt, I hurt my back. You
get what I'm saying. It's been a minute since I
was training there. You get what I'm saying. And we
were at one of the House of Glory shows and
I met him for the first time, you get what
I'm saying, and we started talking, you know, while we
were paying our dues, and you know, the way I
(16:32):
think and the way where I want to go, we
kind of thought the same, you get what I'm saying,
Like we both love Japan, we both plan on wrestling
in Japan and love anime too, so it immediately click
and we were talking about that goals and we were
(16:54):
talking about like wrestling in the New Japan ring. So
from there it kind of just sink. And we both
want to do like a strong style, you get what
I'm saying, Like we want to be strikers, you know
what I mean. So immediately we talked about like our
favorite matches we watched what made us want to become strikers,
(17:16):
and you know, just banger after banger with these not
only New Japan, but the old Japan. You get what
I'm saying, The pro wrestling Noah, even the Dragon Gate.
Just watching all types of Japanese strong style just made
us connect more, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Okay, okay earlier alluded to its earlier, but so with Japan, right,
what like, what are your short term goals.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
So originally I want to build my way up right,
so I want to be a junior heavyweight and then
eventually move up to heavyweight. But one of my goals
is to just win a New Japan championship in the future.
You go, I'm saying, obviously it's gonna take time.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
That's what a Walter goal to which a short term
in the future.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
To be honest, just show everything I can possibly do,
not only in the ring, but as my character. You
know what I'm saying. I want to make sure everybody
knows who Wavy is. You get what I'm saying. I
want to be able to connect with the fans, and
(18:47):
then you know, those accomplishments will come later on. You
know what I'm saying. Once I build myself up to
that level, then those things will lead to that. But
i'd say, like just building the connection with everybody, making
sure okay, oh mister Wavey's on that card, I can't
miss that, you know what I'm saying, Like, i'd say,
(19:10):
that's my short term goal in New Japan. Like he's
a really good striker, but not only really good, he's Wavy.
You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
You got to got to what are some of your
long term goal? The goal.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
So yeah, I mean long term is definitely wrestling guys
at that level. You get what I'm saying, Like if
it was possible to be able to still do it
like guys like Koda Abushi, Konoski Takeshta, guys like Kenny Omega,
(19:52):
be able to prove that eventually when I get to
that level, I can hang with those guys.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Got okay, okay, all right, well I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not the part where I've reached listener questions. So
of course of the week that and abouts this, right,
I've since people will hit the hot light up at
nine one seven to eight three eight five six right,
text email as an email two but that that the
(20:20):
bird but anyway text voice and uh just or live
call it. Right, So I could pile the list of
questions from various listeners. Yeah, yeah, you can do that.
You have found.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
You're good.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, but yeah, the list of various questions. So here
we go again. This person used the hot light that
was seven between three five six. This person asked, do
you follow Bordern wrestling?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah? But also I try to tap into the stuff
I know I've never watched before. For example, like we
were talking back before, I've been tuning into a lot
of the old Japan stuff, Like I've been trying to
watch you know, older stuff before I was born because
I was born in three so I haven't watched anything
(21:20):
before that time. So I'm trying to watch a lot
of that. But I'm still watching, you know, the modern stuff. Okay,
so pretty much into both. You get what I'm saying
because I know they're both two different products. But I
just want to be able to consume everything because wrestling
(21:44):
is constantly changing.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Okay, I ask you now, right, so you Jap, you
said what you only follow Japan nothing else?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
No, I follow, uh w w E, A E W.
I followed those, but I mean w w E is
eventually the end goal, but before I get to that level,
I definitely want to wrestle in New Japan before making
it to w W.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Okay, do you plant the whole patal? What they at
the w W A to believe? Yeah? You got you? Okay, Okay,
what's second hair? All right? Do you follow? Do you
follow matter every day?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Okay, like uf C Belltour, uf C, uf C UF
you see, I've been gonna lie. I haven't. I haven't
followed UFC since like Oh Died. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I mean I believe got.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
And what they've started though right now.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I don't want to say. Over the past year, I've
been watching a lot more UFC, and I mean even
playing the games. You get what I'm saying. Like it
it can make you a better fighter in some sort
of way because it's like you're you're trained to look
at all different things, you know what I mean, because
(23:18):
there's so many aspects to m m A.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Okay, So Dave the quick because I'm I'm like, I
haven't followed you the UFC since like oh died. Freshman
to high school.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Alex Pierra, That's that's one of those names. Israel Adasanya
really like watching him. Like I said again, Pumi Nakuda man,
I mean he really has to. Like there's no way
(23:53):
Dana White doesn't sign him by now, Like he's that good.
He's that good, So for sure, definitely one of those guys.
You gotta watch his fights. Umina Kuda too, but yeah,
some good guys there.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Uh this person acts. How did you become a fan.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Of wrestling?
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I've got to soup. So yeah, wrestling every grade? Yeah,
both both, I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Okay, So wrestling, I was a my father put me
onto that. I was always watching, Like my favorite wrestler
was John Cena. You get what I'm saying. So yeah, yeah,
I would always have the action figures and I remember
(24:46):
just watching him with my grandma too. Just yeah, as
a kid, I always thought about it like what if
I was a pro wrestler, Like how would I look?
Like what would I do? You get what I'm saying.
And you know, there was times where I was in
and out of it. But when I before I decided
(25:10):
to join the school, I knew I was like, Okay,
I got both feet on the door. You get what
I'm saying. Because before I joined, I took like a
year to book up and you know what I'm saying.
That's when I joined. But so that that made me
want to do it, you get what I'm saying. But
(25:32):
also too, like I said, it made me love wrestling, right,
But when I really started thinking about doing it was
when I started tuning into like New Japan, like the
guys like keny Omega, guys like We're lost Ray, you
get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Okay, okay, I have two more questions here. This person asks,
I wouldn't modify.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
It, So do you want me to answer the MMA
side of it? What made me?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (26:05):
No, No, it's up to you, Bus, It's up to you.
Up to you.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Oh, I lost track before, so it.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Was kind of similar to before. Now you put bus
it was it's kind of similar to before. You know
what I'm saying, j RMANI Pumi to Kuda. They informed
me about that, and I did my research. I'm like, yeah,
look at what what guys came out of these gyms,
(26:33):
you know what I mean. And even though I'm in
far Rockaway and that's in Long Island, I knew that, Like,
if I want to get to a high level, I
gotta take the risk, even if I'm getting home eleven
twelve at home in the night every day after that.
You know what I'm saying. It's like certain things you
(26:54):
have to prioritize, you know what I mean. And I
don't mind missing a couple hours of sleep homely as
long as I get to my training, that's what matters.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I just will say trade and time because trust me,
roughly to compare tow was like I think making that
decision all right, I kind of like a past midnight.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yes, it's very bad. I mean, like I said, everybody's
like families. Uh, sometimes there's somebody able to you know,
take me to a train station. We talk, like I'm saying,
picking people's brains constantly, whether it's in pro wrestling, whether
it's in MMA, like just constantly trying to be better
every day anyway that I can. But it is it
(27:46):
is a travel. It is a travel. But when I
played college baseball, uh, it was the same thing. It
was about two three hours traveling, So I knew, okay,
I was already used to it. And not only that,
but if something that I genuinely want to do for
for my not only career, but that's just who I
(28:08):
want to be, you know what I mean, Like, these
are things that I have to make adjustments to and
it's it's tough sometimes because if I do any overtime,
like even thirty minutes to an hour, I wouldn't be
able to make it to train it because I'd have
to take the Long Island railroad to get there and
(28:32):
then back. Is really the trouble because of not only
the times, but I have to take like three four
different buses, you know what I mean. But it's worth it.
It's worth it not only the the people who teach there,
but the people who train there too, So it's it's
worth it.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
It's worth it, oll, Right, Like what do you what
do you probly start getting tracks and succeeding in your career? Right,
Like talk about taking the bus right, next thing you
know you're gonna be take You're gonna be driving there.
Take the trade there. I'll give you example, right, So
(29:13):
might of school. I'm straight out of high school.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Uh, I know I'm broke because I'm just a kid. Right,
but you know I got a job at the New
York State Department Buildings, right, and you know I worked
that job. I remember coming home with past midnight this
that there, taking two three trains, you know, doing like
two hours straight back and forth. But when you stick
(29:40):
at it, right, if you get succeed so making making money,
then you're able to like, all right, I'm taking the
railroad home half our run.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
You know what it is also too, I will say,
is it's not so much of the traveling time there,
you know what I mean, It's about you enjoying the process,
you know what I mean, Like, not thing happens overnight. Right,
So if you're whatever you're going to or whatever you're
gonna do, if you enjoy doing what you do, regardless
(30:09):
of the money, regardless of how much you get paid,
you're gonna flourish, you know what I mean, because at
the end of the day, you're doing that because you
want to. It's not like you're forced to or something
like that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Wait, not, My point was saying that, right, if you
just whatever, whether it's that or this, right, if if
it will top it out be getting right, you're gonna
be comfortable. You'll say do it regardless saying get it
like it's easier once saying.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Yeah, over time, I mean you get it adjusted to it,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yeah, all right, cool, cool, cool. So I would have
bought it by this next question this person, well, I'm
modifying it, but so you bet lo japarents wwe Have
you ever considered the AW.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I have? I have? Actually that's actually when I realized, Okay,
there's a lot of promotions out there, like it's wrestling
is truly a possibility. When AW first started, like the
first ever a w show and I remember watching that
(31:27):
live and I'm Kenny was on al those cards. Just
watching it in general, I'm like, wow, wrestling has just
flourished in not only WWE, but so many other companies.
You know what I'm saying now X Obviously NXT was popping,
but you know NXT still is going strong, and now
(31:49):
they're making it even more developmental too. That with WWE
Evolved and they have that LFG thing too, I've heard
about too.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
That's still going on.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I'm not too sure. I'm not too sure, but.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I could be wrong, but I think I got careful.
I got checked.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
There's been a wo minute since I tuned into that.
But I mean the Evolved has been really good. Like
I mean, there's there's so many promotions out there with
really good wrestling, you know what I'm saying, a lot
of good talent.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah, yeah, what are it's like this level right here
at the high level or even the independent circuit, like
it's very.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
That's another thing that I did learn from Red too.
He tells everybody in the school, you know, watch everything,
like all the companies, no matter where it is you
get I'm saying, Japanics, whatever it is, watch everything, whether
people regardless whether people think it's bad, good, whatever, the cases,
(32:59):
still want ship. You know what I'm saying, Just consume it,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Mm hmmm, I know that's what you be. That's why
I'm trying to do right now. Ye'll see, just can
consume as much as you can. There's so many different styles,
you know what I'm saying. There's literally everything.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
You can find now like a lot of people are
doing everything now. There's there's a lot of talent and
all these promotions.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
All right, and I have one bart of question. Uh hm, clearly, uh,
Daddy's styles is influenced by eighty styles. He's not He's
not shy about say that too. So if that said,
could you repeat that on my turn? Oh, I'll say
clearly that Daddy styles, right, it's it was by aging styles.
(33:53):
Say that you know that's y yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
And it goes back into what we were talking about
when I first met him. He was talking to me
about that and we were talking about influences to us,
you know what I mean. And yep, he's mentioned that.
He's mentioned that for sure.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
So with that said, right, what's like, what's your influence?
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Oh, that's really good. That's a good question because so
I remember we was in class, right, we was watching
matches as a whole, right, and Onny King was putting
the matches right, yes, And he put us onto a
match from Pro Wrestling No. One right, and it was
(34:40):
Kenno versus Katsuhiko Nakajima. Right. And immediately when he put that,
I knew, like my head like watching it, I was like,
this is the type of wrestler I want to be.
You get what I'm saying, Like a strong style type
(35:01):
of striker, heavy on the kicks, the knees. You know
what I'm saying, Keno, Nakajima. These are guys at the
highest level, Shinski Nakamura. You know what I mean that
Roger not Roderick Strong, Kyler, Riley, Bobby Fish is up
(35:21):
there too for sure.
