Welcome to King Wrestling Podcast. Wegot a very special guest. You
know. We was on a LimitlessWrestling kick back last year probably from I'd
(01:11):
say September two about December. Tooka little break and now we're back with
some somebody from Limitless Wrestling himself,b RG Brent Ryan Glossling, what's going
on? Man? And he's hereto make this podcast prestigious, you know,
very very prestigious. If you askme, it's a it's a good
(01:33):
night, you know why, becauseit's me. It's me. I'm living
my life. I'm living the bestlife. I really can't complain talk about
limitless wrestling. That's just only oneplace where I've made I've left my mark
right so absolutely, and now Imean I'm I'm living the dream man.
Professional wrestling has been my end allbe off for about seven years now,
(01:57):
and I really can't complain. Andthat's what I was going to get into,
dude, I mean, because likeyou said, seven years or whatnot.
Let me actually this. Did yougrow up a wrestling fan? Not
at all? Hated wrestling, couldn'tstand it, and wrestling I thought drestling
was the dumbest thing growing up elementaryschool, middle school. It wasn't until
(02:17):
nah first, No, it wasactually a halfway through middle school. I
actually became a wrestling fan. Toland, I don't want to make I
don't know how old you are,I don't want to make you feel old.
But that was twenty eleven, andI was like when I was in
seventh grade. I was, like, I became a huge wrestling fan there.
So it's marking ten years now andbeing a professional wrestling fan. So
(02:42):
it's it's crazy how I would havenever thought from from watching wrestling that first
day to that I would be herenow today, ten years later. It's
crazy. Wow, Yeah, youdid just make me feel old. But
because like my first actual memory ofwatching a wrestling show, especially on TV
(03:06):
was WrestleMania four. Yeah no,uh, what year was that? Eighty
eight? My mom was a sophomorein high school, I want to say,
because she graduated in ninety one,and my dad was a sophomore in
college. Yeah, so that thatputs the timeline. BRG wasn't born until
(03:30):
another ten years later. Yeah Iwas. I was I think five when
that happened though. But yeah,so you didn't grow up a wrestling fan.
But how did you after you didbecome a wrestling fan? What made
you want to become a wrestler?Like, I mean, was it?
What was ticking there? So ittook me three months to realize I wanted
(03:53):
it to be a professional wrestler.So like growing up like I did,
like the middle school, the elementaryschool plays and stuff, like that,
and a lot of people were justlike, Oh, you could be a
really great actor, and I'm justlike, I don't know, not really.
I kind of like being in thesports and being the athletic, but
I also liked performing in that aspect, and wrestling is kind of like the
(04:15):
mix of both, which is honestlythe great thing about it. But I
remember I wasn't really into it untiltwenty eleven, like I said, and
I always tell people that this isthe match that got maybe want to become
a professional wrestler, and they neverbelieve it. But it's Edge versus albertode
Rio from WrestleMania twenty seven. That'slike the match that made me want to
(04:40):
be a professional wrestler, because I'venever to this day been more hyped for
a wrestling match, because like whenI started watching, Edge was the man
to me. He's like, I'mlike thirteen years old, Like I love
rock and roll music, I loveI wanted to have like long flowing hair
because I was a hot player andso like Edge was like the coolest guy,
(05:04):
came out fireworks, going crazy.He was a champion at the time,
so like he was like literally thethe guy SmackDown so I was following
him and Alberta da Rio through thatwhole storyline, and I was like,
he's got to win this match atWrestleMania. So like I was invested to
the t and then like literally thenext week he retired. It's crazy.
(05:29):
So like that was the match thatmade me want to become a wrestling fan,
but it was also his last matchuntil you know, it was it
was a great story until he decidedto come back last year. Yeah,
that was. I can remember thatvery well because that was the year that
del Rio won the forty Royal Rungbefore I'm not mistaken, that is correct.
And yeah, no, I reallylike I was still trying to learn
(05:53):
wrestling. I just knew that.I just knew that albertad Ria was going
it was gonna be fighting Edge atWrestleMania. I had no clue as to
why, because I was like,I didn't know that there was any other
pay per views besides besides WrestleMania atthat point. Yeah. Man, well,
you know, I grew up whenthere was only four pay per views
(06:14):
and that was you know, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Roll
Rumber. Yeah. No, wehad one every month, So like after
that month, I literally made suremy parents rented Extreme Rules that year because
I wanted to see if Christian wasgoing to win the World Heavyweight Truck title
because he became my favorite right afterthat because he was at his best friend.
(06:38):
So what year did you make yourdebut? And um, well what
year did you first match and stufflike that, So my wrestling career is
kind of weird, and so likeI'll say I had my first match in
like twenty fifteen. I was undera mask and I was one half of
(07:00):
the tag team called the Convicts,and we wrestled against the Knuckleheads, who
were actually just the Three Stooges ripoff. But that was like my first
match. It's but I didn't reallystart taking like things seriously until about like
three years ago. It's like Iwas mostly focused on school for the most
(07:26):
part, and then about three yearsago when I met my trainer, Ryan
Drew, he kind of really gaveme the kick in the asses so that
you can do something, but youhave to put your mind to it and
you have to show that you wantit. You can't just be like wrestling
every Thursday night and pretending to bea superstar. When you're not. Yes,
(07:47):
the sacrifices that come on the independentscene, I can tell you that
now, because I mean it's like, you know, I travel. I
mean there's no independent wrestling needywhere nearme, Like the closest place is like
an hour and a half to twohours, and yeah, and I'm traveling
every weekend three hours or more.Sometimes I would have been on a trip
today, you know, because wekind of had to move this interview a
(08:11):
couple of times, you know.And I was gonna be on my way
to Houston, Texas this weekend,but it got canceled, so we uh
here, I am swift out onthe weekend here. But I'm gonna do
nothing this weekend. I'm gonna relaxand everything. I got my second shot
today, so I'm just gonna takeit easy this weekend after that. But
(08:33):
but yeah, now, I've watcheda lot of your matches after I got
introduced to you and Limitless, andwe're gonna get the Limitless soon because you
know, I love Randy and Limitless. They do a good job and Randy's
just a great guy. But Iwant to get started with some of these
other promotions that I know you've beenAt Like, you know, Northeast Championship
(08:54):
Wrestling. That's a good promotion thatI like to watch a lot of stuff.
I know you took on Alexander Leethere. You've also been in a
twenty two man Battle Royal with DarbyAllen. Who's gonna take on see him
punk it all out? Yep.Well, well let's start with that because
that's what I want to hear.So Northeast. So like, I worked
(09:15):
for two companies. There's Northeast ChampionshipWrestling and then there's Northeast Wrestling. Northeast
Wrestling is that is the company thatdid that Battle Royal with Darby Allen.
He actually went on to win theNortheast title later that night against Shat Tunnu.
That I mean, that's the thingis that even before that, I
knew Darby because I had dripped himup to a couple of limitless shows and
(09:39):
everything. And I mean very laidback, I'm very nice, humble.
You really can't complain. I'm reallyhappy that he's going to be Sampunk's first
match because he's really talented, andI mean Sampunk's talking about facing like all
these young and up and coming prospects. If you're gonna look anybody like Darby's
(10:01):
at the top of the list ofyoung prospects that he would definitely want to
face. I remember um seeing Darbywrestled John Motsley before AW started. He
was actually at an any W showand it was Mossley's first show outside of
WWE. When he left, andI remember Darby had h Do you remember,
(10:22):
Um, when Darby wrestled Chris Jerichoand he had his hands tape behind
his back. Yes, I'm verywell say so he did, and so
like that's that's the first time I'dseen him do that. It was before
AW and I was like, whenI saw it on TV, I was
like, oh, he's just copyingwhen he hit at any W. But
I digress. He did all thesame crazy stuff dive in and then Moxley
(10:48):
kicked him in the gut when hejumped off the top rope, hit him
with the paradigm shift and it's likehe had no protection, like it was
all neck and I'm like, Darbyis one crazy, crazy son of a
bitch and I respect the hell outof it. And Moxley said that he's
(11:09):
like a modern day Jeff Hardy,which is crazy because Jeff Hardy still around,
but I think you can kinda understandwhat he means. What he means
by that, yeah, he Imean basically, what he's saying is that
Darby is the now Jeff Hardy ofthe Owls. You know, like Jeff
Hardy back when he was like twothousand era Jeff Hardy. But you know,
(11:31):
with Darby, that's my wife's favoritewrestler. I mean, like,
I've had Dave Turner on, whohas been around Darby a long time,
and Doug, me and Dave wastalking about this. As a matter of
fact, I had Dave on.I think it was back when Fighter Fist
the first, you know, thedeal that they did on b R Live
(11:52):
and it was free all right,and he went head to head with Cody
and Me and Dave talked about that, and Dave was just saying, you
know, I've been around Derby somuch, and Darby does not want to
be in the ring with somebody thatdon't want to be there. You've got
to be able to give one tobe in the ring with Darby. Allen,
Yeah, agreed. And Darby's great, He's a great talent, and
(12:13):
I know that this is gonna comeout after the seem Punk match. So
we're kind of talking and just sayingit, but I think that seem Punk
and Darby Allen are gonna tear thehouse down, it all out. I
think it's gonna be a damn goodmatch because Darby Allen has not disappointed me
yet when watching a match, becausehe just he can do some unbelievable stuff.
I think the stuff that he's doingwith Sting. And I'm not gonna
(12:35):
say I'm the biggest fan of mainstreamwrestling like AW or WW or anything,
but I think that with Steing andDarby Allen coming together on that, I
think it's really just kind of keptmy interest with AW and stuff like that.
Yeah, I mean so for me, I really got like caught back
(12:56):
up in AW one flip the Bloodand Guts match app. I've just kind
of kept up with it since andthen see him Punk was like also one
of my guys in twenty eleven,So him coming back just makes me smile
eier a year. It's a greatfeeling. I was actually at one of
his his second to last match inProvidence, Rhode Island, went and back
(13:18):
in twenty fourteen, remember sat therelive in the crowd same night that Daniel
Brien turned on The White Family allaround, all around crazy night. Yeah,
that the energy in that room likecrazy. I hope to one day
be able to replicate that with fans. I can say this with see him
(13:39):
Punk. I remember when he leftbecause I'd actually went to a rawle and
I was on the third road ofthe role that it was. It was
like it was not right there atthem, but it was close enough to
the end. Yep. I think, let me see what are he left
in January? Right right after theRoyal rumble? All right, I think
(14:01):
it was October. They came toBiloxi and he took on Biggie and this
was before Biggie really found his groove. And and I remember that after the
show was over and everything, whenhe'd come running out there to the crowd
and he just, you know,high fied everybody. And I was a
big Punk fan at that time.And so my wife knows that it takes
a lot to get me to watchTV on time, like I'll dv our
(14:24):
stuff unless I want to see itlive. And when Punk, the rumors
of Punk being there in Chicago thoughnight one of my buddies that I you
know, worked with at another promotion. He kept telling me he's like,
dude, he's gonna be there,there's no doubt. And I said,
I said, how sure. Hesays, if if he does not show
(14:45):
up on rampage, I will shavemy hair. And this dude loves his
hair. Now, I said,okay, I'm gonna watch it. I
watched it live and I was justlike amazed at the reaction because I'm sorry,
it's hard to get reaction nowadays inprofessional wrestling like that, like yeah,
and then I mean Daniel Bryan andWWE at that time, that's the
(15:07):
biggest pop you could get, youknow. Yes, So now you know
when I heard the punk deal,I loved it. I'm keeping my eye
on it, you know, Iwatch it and stuff like that. But
you talk about Northeast Wrestling. Iremember when the show you were talking about
kind of because they had some stuffsurface on the internet about it, and
(15:28):
I'd love to get up to theNortheast and check out some of the shows.
And we've actually even tried to makea trip up to Limitless. I
told my buddy, I said,we're gonna have to make the trip outs
a fifteen hour trip but I thinkit'd be worth it, which is gonna
bring me to my next question.Randy carver Man, how did you get
hooked up with Randy and how didyou find your way into Limitless Wrestling?
(15:50):
Because I look at Limitless Wrestling asa step up from the independent scene,
so simple wrestled in the area fora long time. It kind of like
I I've known so like you know, the main stay post here Eric,
(16:12):
they're called now UM. I've knownthem since like pretty much day one,
essentially UM, and they're they're goodfriends with Randy, and Randy's been around
since like they started and stuff likethat. And essentially, like I wrestled
in a company called IWE because Ihad UM. I was asked by by
(16:37):
someone to come up with them fora trip up to Maine to wrestle in
Maine, and I wrestled at IWE. I wrestled there when I was formerly
Todd Harris UM. I wrestled therefor about I want to say, two
years. And the owners that tookover after Eric Johnson caused Day Ruffled and
(17:03):
Feathers and essentially a lot of ushad left, and at that time Randy
had already been running Limitless shows forabout three years. At that point,
he's just like, you know what, like why not just have another show?
Why not just like make another showover in Central Maine because Limitless had
made its way towards southern Maine tomake it easier for a lot of people
(17:25):
to travel, and so he's like, we don't really have anything going on
in central Maine, and I'm surea lot of people would love to have
us back there. So he askedme, He asked MSP and a lot
of other people that were that fansknew from the area to be on the
first Let's Wrestle show. So essentiallyit went from iwe to Let's Wrestle and
(17:49):
then I was doing a lot ofthe road tapings and at that time in
Channing, Thomas had taken a couplepictures in suits together with Harry Aaron just
to like get some good promo shotsand everything, and then Randy asked us.
(18:11):
He's like, are you guys planningon being a tag team? And
we're like, I mean, we'renot against it, We're open to it.
We want to really like tag otherplaces when we can, and he
goes, well, we're trying toget the Limitless tag division, like we're
trying to revitalize them and everything.We'd love to have you guys a part
of it. And so we wentfrom there, and then we eventually added
(18:36):
Mac daniels and John Albert of thegroup. And it is just I'm not
joking when I say we're literally thosethree guys that sit in the back of
the locker room in our own littlecorner, using our resistance bands to get
a good pump in before our matchesand slathering coconut oil all over each other
just to make sure that we lookgood, because that's the thing. Wrestling
(19:00):
is wrestling. But at the sametime, you need to make sure your
presentation is good or else no one'sgonna really care. That is true.
And I'll tell you this. Ilove Prestigious, I love chan Thomas,
I love Mac Daniels. I meanall are great. When I got introduced
to Mac daniels, I was like, this kid's got something, you know.
I see all three of you,y'all three've got something. I look
(19:22):
at a limitless and a whole andthere's a lot of greatness that can come
out of Limitless because Brandy puts alot of thought into it and everything he
does. He just books it sowell and it's just to me one of
the top promotions in independent wrestling scene. Agreed, And I tell you you
want to talk about moments we talkedearlier about, like moments like with Daniel
(19:47):
Bryant, I'll see him punkin stufflike that. I just want to just
say now, come September twenty fifth, at the Limitless six year anniversary UH
titled Euphoria, It's gonna be fantasticfor those that don't know Prestigious mc daniels,
(20:10):
myself and Channing Thomas and making ita rare in ring appearance John Alba.
We'll be taking on Team Davienne,which will be of course Davienne Becca
and Team c Star. And whenI say that, we've been talking about
it for weeks now about how we'regoing to make Davienne prestigious as bitch.
(20:34):
It is going to be a greatfeeling just seeing the happiness drain from Daviene's
face after we beat her in herlittle ragtag group of misfits. Alright,
alright, I'm about to just stepin here. You know, prestigious is
good, Briton Ink's better. Imean, that's that's my group. But
(20:56):
I'm gonna just say this though.All Right, I've had Davienne, I've
had Dale Me, I've had youknow, all of them on the show,
Becky, all of on the onthe podcast. I've watched Davian and
the thing with her is like ripBison is my boy. Okay, yeah
we beat him, right, yeah, yeah you did. She killed him
(21:17):
and and she's very dangerous in thering. So you might want to watch
out for that Davian injury life dealbecause that that's not no fun. I
was gonna say, you know,mc annas beater too, so he already
has a winning strategy. We justhave to replicate it exactly. And I'm
hey, I hate to say this, I'm rooting for you. I am.
I love prestigious, but I'm justsaying ya, don't take them lightly.
(21:41):
Don't want to take them lightly.Mad bull see. But yeah,
I think you know, Limitless hasuh just they've really taken off. You
know. The Robe was a greatseries during the pandemic, The Dode Pandemic
at the Dojo was a eight series. I mean, Randy, as young
(22:02):
as he is now, this isanother thing I wanted to get to.
Randy is very young. He's beenthe same. Yeah, he's been running
Limitless for six years. He's donemore in six years with Limitless, and
some of these carnies did have beenrunning for twenty years. I mean,
Randy's a genius. I think whenit comes to wrestling. I really can't
(22:25):
deny it because I'll just say this. When I started, nobody ever wanted
to go to wrestling Maine, andRandy really didn't start running Limitless shows until
like maybe around the time or rightafter I had started going up there for
shows and everything. Besides that,like I mean, the indies like in
(22:48):
Maine were not good. It waslike it was kind of a laughing stock.
And like New England, like NewEngland's like a hotbed for wrestling,
and like if you go up toMaine, you just don't have You didn't
have that hotbed until like Randy cameand pretty much, like you hate to
say it, but hey, likehe took a stranglehold over main wrestling.
Just like one other company that runsI w E flows down and Randy continuously
(23:15):
draws more and more people to comeand see me and Janning Thomas and McDaniels
and John Alba and all the prestigiousI'll agree with that as well. But
I'm gonna just say this, thatdude with Limitless, Yeah, he's he's
take a he's took a stranglehold onit. He has made Limitless and Maine
a destination for independent wrestling because nowwhen you look at it, I mean
(23:40):
Anthony Green and or WW Superstar,Uh you look at I mean all the
great talents that have come through there. You have Daniel Garcia literally just beat
up Sam Punk on TV Wednesday night. He's a Limitless Wrestling champion. You
have Christian Castanova, who was nowCarmelo Hayes who was the fort champion.
(24:03):
U MJF was the first champion.Like you just read off Anthony Green another
former champion, like you read offall those champions, and like, well,
it was basically at one point andstill kind of is, even with
Daniel Garcia talking about if you've wonthat Limitless tile, he's pretty much guaranteed
a contract at that time. Yeah, I mean that well. Al John
(24:26):
Alboz talked to me too about it. He's like, I mean it's kind
of cursed, but in like agood way. Like it seems like anybody
that gets that title, it's likestraight up. They yet they either get
a contract or they they go offto Florida for something. Because I mean,
literally weeks before Christian Castinova won theTILE, he was on the podcast
(24:52):
and he hinted it something when hewas on the podcast. He didn't really
just come out and say it,but like he won the title the next
week, which you know it wasalready done, but at the same time,
he won the title the next weekand then what a bottom less than
a month later, he's going toWW Just yeah, I think that would.
(25:18):
We would so, like I Isee the credibility and everything with a
limitles wrestling title and what it's donefor a lot of people. Um,
like I said, you literally havean whole star group of people that are
former champions and the current champion justbeat up the umpunk. I just imagine
if List Wrestling had tag team championships. We can't. We can only imagine
(25:41):
that right now because you know,MSP kind of screwed that up for the
entire tag division. You know,we told them not to choke, but
they're worse than They're worse than theToronto maple Leaves and they shoved turned this
year, and especially when he countedthe most well exactly, they didn't put
prestigious and there it should have been. Y'all. Y'all would have choked,
would you? I would I wouldhave guaranteed to win. You could.
(26:04):
I could guarantee you win if thatwas us. But yeah, know whatever,
Alright, Well, before we startto get to the end of this,
I just want to say this,Uh, I'm gonna give you a
chance to plug everything you want toplug. I don't care what you got.
You can sell whatever you want,even if you got cookies to say,
you can sell at the floor's fistingto be years. But I want
you to tell me before you gointo your plugs. Tell me what's your
(26:25):
goals. Your end goals in wrestlingfiles make a lot of money. I
feel that should be everybody's goals,you know what. You know what.
I hate a nine to five job. I hate anything that's involving having to
listen to and do all these stupid, pathetic tasks. I want to wrestle.
I want to be able to getpaid to literally go to the gym
and do everything that I do onregular basis, except I want to get
(26:51):
paid to do it. And Iwant to live comfortably that's totally all I
can ask out of wrestling, allright, what you got to plug my
ran? Well, let's see Instagram. Uh, in Twitter you can find

Welcome to King Wrestling Podcast. Wegot a very special guest. You
know. We was on a LimitlessWrestling kick back last year probably from I'd
(01:11):
say September two about December. Tooka little break and now we're back with
some somebody from Limitless Wrestling himself,b RG Brent Ryan Glossling, what's going
on? Man? And he's hereto make this podcast prestigious, you know,
very very prestigious. If you askme, it's a it's a good
(01:33):
night, you know why, becauseit's me. It's me. I'm living
my life. I'm living the bestlife. I really can't complain talk about
limitless wrestling. That's just only oneplace where I've made I've left my mark
right so absolutely, and now Imean I'm I'm living the dream man.
Professional wrestling has been my end allbe off for about seven years now,
(01:57):
and I really can't complain. Andthat's what I was going to get into,
dude, I mean, because likeyou said, seven years or whatnot.
Let me actually this. Did yougrow up a wrestling fan? Not
at all? Hated wrestling, couldn'tstand it, and wrestling I thought drestling
was the dumbest thing growing up elementaryschool, middle school. It wasn't until
(02:17):
nah first, No, it wasactually a halfway through middle school. I
actually became a wrestling fan. Toland, I don't want to make I
don't know how old you are,I don't want to make you feel old.
But that was twenty eleven, andI was like when I was in
seventh grade. I was, like, I became a huge wrestling fan there.
So it's marking ten years now andbeing a professional wrestling fan. So
(02:42):
it's it's crazy how I would havenever thought from from watching wrestling that first
day to that I would be herenow today, ten years later. It's
crazy. Wow, Yeah, youdid just make me feel old. But
because like my first actual memory ofwatching a wrestling show, especially on TV
(03:06):
was WrestleMania four. Yeah no,uh, what year was that? Eighty
eight? My mom was a sophomorein high school, I want to say,
because she graduated in ninety one,and my dad was a sophomore in
college. Yeah, so that thatputs the timeline. BRG wasn't born until
(03:30):
another ten years later. Yeah Iwas. I was I think five when
that happened though. But yeah,so you didn't grow up a wrestling fan.
But how did you after you didbecome a wrestling fan? What made
you want to become a wrestler?Like, I mean, was it?
What was ticking there? So ittook me three months to realize I wanted
(03:53):
it to be a professional wrestler.So like growing up like I did,
like the middle school, the elementaryschool plays and stuff, like that,
and a lot of people were justlike, Oh, you could be a
really great actor, and I'm justlike, I don't know, not really.
I kind of like being in thesports and being the athletic, but
I also liked performing in that aspect, and wrestling is kind of like the
(04:15):
mix of both, which is honestlythe great thing about it. But I
remember I wasn't really into it untiltwenty eleven, like I said, and
I always tell people that this isthe match that got maybe want to become
a professional wrestler, and they neverbelieve it. But it's Edge versus albertode
Rio from WrestleMania twenty seven. That'slike the match that made me want to
(04:40):
be a professional wrestler, because I'venever to this day been more hyped for
a wrestling match, because like whenI started watching, Edge was the man
to me. He's like, I'mlike thirteen years old, Like I love
rock and roll music, I loveI wanted to have like long flowing hair
because I was a hot player andso like Edge was like the coolest guy,
(05:04):
came out fireworks, going crazy.He was a champion at the time,
so like he was like literally thethe guy SmackDown so I was following
him and Alberta da Rio through thatwhole storyline, and I was like,
he's got to win this match atWrestleMania. So like I was invested to
the t and then like literally thenext week he retired. It's crazy.
(05:29):
So like that was the match thatmade me want to become a wrestling fan,
but it was also his last matchuntil you know, it was it
was a great story until he decidedto come back last year. Yeah,
that was. I can remember thatvery well because that was the year that
del Rio won the forty Royal Rungbefore I'm not mistaken, that is correct.
And yeah, no, I reallylike I was still trying to learn
(05:53):
wrestling. I just knew that.I just knew that albertad Ria was going
it was gonna be fighting Edge atWrestleMania. I had no clue as to
why, because I was like,I didn't know that there was any other
pay per views besides besides WrestleMania atthat point. Yeah. Man, well,
you know, I grew up whenthere was only four pay per views
(06:14):
and that was you know, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Roll
Rumber. Yeah. No, wehad one every month, So like after
that month, I literally made suremy parents rented Extreme Rules that year because
I wanted to see if Christian wasgoing to win the World Heavyweight Truck title
because he became my favorite right afterthat because he was at his best friend.
(06:38):
So what year did you make yourdebut? And um, well what
year did you first match and stufflike that, So my wrestling career is
kind of weird, and so likeI'll say I had my first match in
like twenty fifteen. I was undera mask and I was one half of
(07:00):
the tag team called the Convicts,and we wrestled against the Knuckleheads, who
were actually just the Three Stooges ripoff. But that was like my first
match. It's but I didn't reallystart taking like things seriously until about like
three years ago. It's like Iwas mostly focused on school for the most
(07:26):
part, and then about three yearsago when I met my trainer, Ryan
Drew, he kind of really gaveme the kick in the asses so that
you can do something, but youhave to put your mind to it and
you have to show that you wantit. You can't just be like wrestling
every Thursday night and pretending to bea superstar. When you're not. Yes,
(07:47):
the sacrifices that come on the independentscene, I can tell you that
now, because I mean it's like, you know, I travel. I
mean there's no independent wrestling needywhere nearme, Like the closest place is like
an hour and a half to twohours, and yeah, and I'm traveling
every weekend three hours or more.Sometimes I would have been on a trip
today, you know, because wekind of had to move this interview a
(08:11):
couple of times, you know.And I was gonna be on my way
to Houston, Texas this weekend,but it got canceled, so we uh
here, I am swift out onthe weekend here. But I'm gonna do
nothing this weekend. I'm gonna relaxand everything. I got my second shot
today, so I'm just gonna takeit easy this weekend after that. But
(08:33):
but yeah, now, I've watcheda lot of your matches after I got
introduced to you and Limitless, andwe're gonna get the Limitless soon because you
know, I love Randy and Limitless. They do a good job and Randy's
just a great guy. But Iwant to get started with some of these
other promotions that I know you've beenAt Like, you know, Northeast Championship
(08:54):
Wrestling. That's a good promotion thatI like to watch a lot of stuff.
I know you took on Alexander Leethere. You've also been in a
twenty two man Battle Royal with DarbyAllen. Who's gonna take on see him
punk it all out? Yep.Well, well let's start with that because
that's what I want to hear.So Northeast. So like, I worked
(09:15):
for two companies. There's Northeast ChampionshipWrestling and then there's Northeast Wrestling. Northeast
Wrestling is that is the company thatdid that Battle Royal with Darby Allen.
He actually went on to win theNortheast title later that night against Shat Tunnu.
That I mean, that's the thingis that even before that, I
knew Darby because I had dripped himup to a couple of limitless shows and
(09:39):
everything. And I mean very laidback, I'm very nice, humble.
You really can't complain. I'm reallyhappy that he's going to be Sampunk's first
match because he's really talented, andI mean Sampunk's talking about facing like all
these young and up and coming prospects. If you're gonna look anybody like Darby's
(10:01):
at the top of the list ofyoung prospects that he would definitely want to
face. I remember um seeing Darbywrestled John Motsley before AW started. He
was actually at an any W showand it was Mossley's first show outside of
WWE. When he left, andI remember Darby had h Do you remember,
(10:22):
Um, when Darby wrestled Chris Jerichoand he had his hands tape behind
his back. Yes, I'm verywell say so he did, and so
like that's that's the first time I'dseen him do that. It was before
AW and I was like, whenI saw it on TV, I was
like, oh, he's just copyingwhen he hit at any W. But
I digress. He did all thesame crazy stuff dive in and then Moxley
(10:48):
kicked him in the gut when hejumped off the top rope, hit him
with the paradigm shift and it's likehe had no protection, like it was
all neck and I'm like, Darbyis one crazy, crazy son of a
bitch and I respect the hell outof it. And Moxley said that he's
(11:09):
like a modern day Jeff Hardy,which is crazy because Jeff Hardy still around,
but I think you can kinda understandwhat he means. What he means
by that, yeah, he Imean basically, what he's saying is that
Darby is the now Jeff Hardy ofthe Owls. You know, like Jeff
Hardy back when he was like twothousand era Jeff Hardy. But you know,
(11:31):
with Darby, that's my wife's favoritewrestler. I mean, like,
I've had Dave Turner on, whohas been around Darby a long time,
and Doug, me and Dave wastalking about this. As a matter of
fact, I had Dave on.I think it was back when Fighter Fist
the first, you know, thedeal that they did on b R Live
(11:52):
and it was free all right,and he went head to head with Cody
and Me and Dave talked about that, and Dave was just saying, you
know, I've been around Derby somuch, and Darby does not want to
be in the ring with somebody thatdon't want to be there. You've got
to be able to give one tobe in the ring with Darby. Allen,
Yeah, agreed. And Darby's great, He's a great talent, and
(12:13):
I know that this is gonna comeout after the seem Punk match. So
we're kind of talking and just sayingit, but I think that seem Punk
and Darby Allen are gonna tear thehouse down, it all out. I
think it's gonna be a damn goodmatch because Darby Allen has not disappointed me
yet when watching a match, becausehe just he can do some unbelievable stuff.
I think the stuff that he's doingwith Sting. And I'm not gonna
(12:35):
say I'm the biggest fan of mainstreamwrestling like AW or WW or anything,
but I think that with Steing andDarby Allen coming together on that, I
think it's really just kind of keptmy interest with AW and stuff like that.
Yeah, I mean so for me, I really got like caught back
(12:56):
up in AW one flip the Bloodand Guts match app. I've just kind
of kept up with it since andthen see him Punk was like also one
of my guys in twenty eleven,So him coming back just makes me smile
eier a year. It's a greatfeeling. I was actually at one of
his his second to last match inProvidence, Rhode Island, went and back
(13:18):
in twenty fourteen, remember sat therelive in the crowd same night that Daniel
Brien turned on The White Family allaround, all around crazy night. Yeah,
that the energy in that room likecrazy. I hope to one day
be able to replicate that with fans. I can say this with see him
(13:39):
Punk. I remember when he leftbecause I'd actually went to a rawle and
I was on the third road ofthe role that it was. It was
like it was not right there atthem, but it was close enough to
the end. Yep. I think, let me see what are he left
in January? Right right after theRoyal rumble? All right, I think
(14:01):
it was October. They came toBiloxi and he took on Biggie and this
was before Biggie really found his groove. And and I remember that after the
show was over and everything, whenhe'd come running out there to the crowd
and he just, you know,high fied everybody. And I was a
big Punk fan at that time.And so my wife knows that it takes
a lot to get me to watchTV on time, like I'll dv our
(14:24):
stuff unless I want to see itlive. And when Punk, the rumors
of Punk being there in Chicago thoughnight one of my buddies that I you
know, worked with at another promotion. He kept telling me he's like,
dude, he's gonna be there,there's no doubt. And I said,
I said, how sure. Hesays, if if he does not show
(14:45):
up on rampage, I will shavemy hair. And this dude loves his
hair. Now, I said,okay, I'm gonna watch it. I
watched it live and I was justlike amazed at the reaction because I'm sorry,
it's hard to get reaction nowadays inprofessional wrestling like that, like yeah,
and then I mean Daniel Bryan andWWE at that time, that's the
(15:07):
biggest pop you could get, youknow. Yes, So now you know
when I heard the punk deal,I loved it. I'm keeping my eye
on it, you know, Iwatch it and stuff like that. But
you talk about Northeast Wrestling. Iremember when the show you were talking about
kind of because they had some stuffsurface on the internet about it, and
(15:28):
I'd love to get up to theNortheast and check out some of the shows.
And we've actually even tried to makea trip up to Limitless. I
told my buddy, I said,we're gonna have to make the trip outs
a fifteen hour trip but I thinkit'd be worth it, which is gonna
bring me to my next question.Randy carver Man, how did you get
hooked up with Randy and how didyou find your way into Limitless Wrestling?
(15:50):
Because I look at Limitless Wrestling asa step up from the independent scene,
so simple wrestled in the area fora long time. It kind of like
I I've known so like you know, the main stay post here Eric,
(16:12):
they're called now UM. I've knownthem since like pretty much day one,
essentially UM, and they're they're goodfriends with Randy, and Randy's been around
since like they started and stuff likethat. And essentially, like I wrestled
in a company called IWE because Ihad UM. I was asked by by
(16:37):
someone to come up with them fora trip up to Maine to wrestle in
Maine, and I wrestled at IWE. I wrestled there when I was formerly
Todd Harris UM. I wrestled therefor about I want to say, two
years. And the owners that tookover after Eric Johnson caused Day Ruffled and
(17:03):
Feathers and essentially a lot of ushad left, and at that time Randy
had already been running Limitless shows forabout three years. At that point,
he's just like, you know what, like why not just have another show?
Why not just like make another showover in Central Maine because Limitless had
made its way towards southern Maine tomake it easier for a lot of people
(17:25):
to travel, and so he's like, we don't really have anything going on
in central Maine, and I'm surea lot of people would love to have
us back there. So he askedme, He asked MSP and a lot
of other people that were that fansknew from the area to be on the
first Let's Wrestle show. So essentiallyit went from iwe to Let's Wrestle and
(17:49):
then I was doing a lot ofthe road tapings and at that time in
Channing, Thomas had taken a couplepictures in suits together with Harry Aaron just
to like get some good promo shotsand everything, and then Randy asked us.
(18:11):
He's like, are you guys planningon being a tag team? And
we're like, I mean, we'renot against it, We're open to it.
We want to really like tag otherplaces when we can, and he
goes, well, we're trying toget the Limitless tag division, like we're
trying to revitalize them and everything.We'd love to have you guys a part
of it. And so we wentfrom there, and then we eventually added
(18:36):
Mac daniels and John Albert of thegroup. And it is just I'm not
joking when I say we're literally thosethree guys that sit in the back of
the locker room in our own littlecorner, using our resistance bands to get
a good pump in before our matchesand slathering coconut oil all over each other
just to make sure that we lookgood, because that's the thing. Wrestling
(19:00):
is wrestling. But at the sametime, you need to make sure your
presentation is good or else no one'sgonna really care. That is true.
And I'll tell you this. Ilove Prestigious, I love chan Thomas,
I love Mac Daniels. I meanall are great. When I got introduced
to Mac daniels, I was like, this kid's got something, you know.
I see all three of you,y'all three've got something. I look
(19:22):
at a limitless and a whole andthere's a lot of greatness that can come
out of Limitless because Brandy puts alot of thought into it and everything he
does. He just books it sowell and it's just to me one of
the top promotions in independent wrestling scene. Agreed, And I tell you you
want to talk about moments we talkedearlier about, like moments like with Daniel
(19:47):
Bryant, I'll see him punkin stufflike that. I just want to just
say now, come September twenty fifth, at the Limitless six year anniversary UH
titled Euphoria, It's gonna be fantasticfor those that don't know Prestigious mc daniels,
(20:10):
myself and Channing Thomas and making ita rare in ring appearance John Alba.
We'll be taking on Team Davienne,which will be of course Davienne Becca
and Team c Star. And whenI say that, we've been talking about
it for weeks now about how we'regoing to make Davienne prestigious as bitch.
(20:34):
It is going to be a greatfeeling just seeing the happiness drain from Daviene's
face after we beat her in herlittle ragtag group of misfits. Alright,
alright, I'm about to just stepin here. You know, prestigious is
good, Briton Ink's better. Imean, that's that's my group. But
(20:56):
I'm gonna just say this though.All Right, I've had Davienne, I've
had Dale Me, I've had youknow, all of them on the show,
Becky, all of on the onthe podcast. I've watched Davian and
the thing with her is like ripBison is my boy. Okay, yeah
we beat him, right, yeah, yeah you did. She killed him
(21:17):
and and she's very dangerous in thering. So you might want to watch
out for that Davian injury life dealbecause that that's not no fun. I
was gonna say, you know,mc annas beater too, so he already
has a winning strategy. We justhave to replicate it exactly. And I'm
hey, I hate to say this, I'm rooting for you. I am.
I love prestigious, but I'm justsaying ya, don't take them lightly.
(21:41):
Don't want to take them lightly.Mad bull see. But yeah,
I think you know, Limitless hasuh just they've really taken off. You
know. The Robe was a greatseries during the pandemic, The Dode Pandemic
at the Dojo was a eight series. I mean, Randy, as young
(22:02):
as he is now, this isanother thing I wanted to get to.
Randy is very young. He's beenthe same. Yeah, he's been running
Limitless for six years. He's donemore in six years with Limitless, and
some of these carnies did have beenrunning for twenty years. I mean,
Randy's a genius. I think whenit comes to wrestling. I really can't
(22:25):
deny it because I'll just say this. When I started, nobody ever wanted
to go to wrestling Maine, andRandy really didn't start running Limitless shows until
like maybe around the time or rightafter I had started going up there for
shows and everything. Besides that,like I mean, the indies like in
(22:48):
Maine were not good. It waslike it was kind of a laughing stock.
And like New England, like NewEngland's like a hotbed for wrestling,
and like if you go up toMaine, you just don't have You didn't
have that hotbed until like Randy cameand pretty much, like you hate to
say it, but hey, likehe took a stranglehold over main wrestling.
Just like one other company that runsI w E flows down and Randy continuously
(23:15):
draws more and more people to comeand see me and Janning Thomas and McDaniels
and John Alba and all the prestigiousI'll agree with that as well. But
I'm gonna just say this, thatdude with Limitless, Yeah, he's he's
take a he's took a stranglehold onit. He has made Limitless and Maine
a destination for independent wrestling because nowwhen you look at it, I mean
(23:40):
Anthony Green and or WW Superstar,Uh you look at I mean all the
great talents that have come through there. You have Daniel Garcia literally just beat
up Sam Punk on TV Wednesday night. He's a Limitless Wrestling champion. You
have Christian Castanova, who was nowCarmelo Hayes who was the fort champion.
(24:03):
U MJF was the first champion.Like you just read off Anthony Green another
former champion, like you read offall those champions, and like, well,
it was basically at one point andstill kind of is, even with
Daniel Garcia talking about if you've wonthat Limitless tile, he's pretty much guaranteed
a contract at that time. Yeah, I mean that well. Al John
(24:26):
Alboz talked to me too about it. He's like, I mean it's kind
of cursed, but in like agood way. Like it seems like anybody
that gets that title, it's likestraight up. They yet they either get
a contract or they they go offto Florida for something. Because I mean,
literally weeks before Christian Castinova won theTILE, he was on the podcast
(24:52):
and he hinted it something when hewas on the podcast. He didn't really
just come out and say it,but like he won the title the next
week, which you know it wasalready done, but at the same time,
he won the title the next weekand then what a bottom less than
a month later, he's going toWW Just yeah, I think that would.
(25:18):
We would so, like I Isee the credibility and everything with a
limitles wrestling title and what it's donefor a lot of people. Um,
like I said, you literally havean whole star group of people that are
former champions and the current champion justbeat up the umpunk. I just imagine
if List Wrestling had tag team championships. We can't. We can only imagine
(25:41):
that right now because you know,MSP kind of screwed that up for the
entire tag division. You know,we told them not to choke, but
they're worse than They're worse than theToronto maple Leaves and they shoved turned this
year, and especially when he countedthe most well exactly, they didn't put
prestigious and there it should have been. Y'all. Y'all would have choked,
would you? I would I wouldhave guaranteed to win. You could.
(26:04):
I could guarantee you win if thatwas us. But yeah, know whatever,
Alright, Well, before we startto get to the end of this,
I just want to say this,Uh, I'm gonna give you a
chance to plug everything you want toplug. I don't care what you got.
You can sell whatever you want,even if you got cookies to say,
you can sell at the floor's fistingto be years. But I want
you to tell me before you gointo your plugs. Tell me what's your
(26:25):
goals. Your end goals in wrestlingfiles make a lot of money. I
feel that should be everybody's goals,you know what. You know what.
I hate a nine to five job. I hate anything that's involving having to
listen to and do all these stupid, pathetic tasks. I want to wrestle.
I want to be able to getpaid to literally go to the gym
and do everything that I do onregular basis, except I want to get
(26:51):
paid to do it. And Iwant to live comfortably that's totally all I
can ask out of wrestling, allright, what you got to plug my
ran? Well, let's see Instagram. Uh, in Twitter you can find
