Speaker 1 (00:32):
Brannigan and Dylan you have a match scheduled that day
against Trent Wrigley as well.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
So how are you going? Pretty good? Man? How are
you eight?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
We're doing good, hanging in there. That's good, trying to
get through the week. But I appreciate you guys being
on talk about how this show is taking off, defying
pro since then, you know, three years ago.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
So three years ago I started hiring friends to come
run the shows and it didn't go over very well.
We wound up getting Gunner Brave took over as our
booker and he's been getting us some of the top
future stars and you know Jack Jamison and h from
(01:22):
a E W R O H, the OVW NW a
like he's gone above and beyond of putting some of
the top talent that's out there on our cards right now.
Oh wow, Very very grateful for him for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Definitely, definitely, that's amazing that I you've been able to
find someone that's got the division too.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, been what they had to the table.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
And and you know, I'm sure you guys have watched
wrestling as much as you've you know, you've been at
shows as much as you've performed show, so you're kind
of like this point, know what you like and what
you don't like, right, Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, most definitely, most definitely some of the people that
are are coming in are just you know, great people,
and they are, like I said, they're some of the
best around right now that I've seen. I mean, I
got I was wrestling out in southern Indiana and it's there,
(02:24):
you know, the talent down there, the talent pool is
very small. You know, they're just throwing anybody in the
ring and saying, oh yeah, I'm a professional wrestler. Once
we started to come back up here and I seen
like we met uh we met Gunner at Indianapolis show,
a comic con that we did, and I was thoroughly
(02:47):
impressed on what a great worker he was. And then
so he started to introduce us to everybody, and there's
some really great talent, and we completely stacked this card
from beginning to end with the top talent. And then
we got Dylan's got his his first match, first match.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
First official match, first flyer or yeah, first.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Flyer, at your second official third, I think third? Now third, yeah, third, guy.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I just got my buck kick in the first few though.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah, it happens.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
We're learning, we're getting back, yeah, right right, definitely. And
talk about like the dynamic you two have. Do you
like to bounce ideas off of each other? And like
the advice Dylan, he likes.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
To bounce a lot of ideas off of me, you know,
the I'm young, I'm creative.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah, I keep i keep having different things coming out
of my head.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I'm winding down with it. I'm more of a nineties,
eighties and nineties wrestling. I like the characters, you know,
the iron cheeks and the whole Coogan's and and all that,
which have completely faded away. Everybody seems like they're just
the same tough guy now, so it's hard for me
to get into it. But when he starts talking about it,
(04:09):
what I like to see about him is the passion
that he has for it. And I actually met him
years ago. He was taking pictures at my wedding and
and that's how we wounded up meeting. And then he
came to our first show and he looked like a
completely different kid. I didn't recognize him, and I was
telling him about, you know, we wanted to do a
(04:30):
little training and stuff out here, and he's like, I'm in,
And he's been in ever since. He's been chopping at
the bit and recently, like the past I don't know,
four or five months, he just completely submerged himself into
everything wrestling.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
So I started training with a CSW Yeah yeah, Boss.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah the Boz. So I knew Boss from back. I
knew him from back in Windy City. And when I
start to train him, I can't I'm not really, I mean,
I can't call myself a trainer because I don't know
exactly everything. I don't chain wrestle. It's many years since
(05:13):
I actually like, you know, I'm doing punch, kick, chop,
maybe a body slam. You know, I'm beat up. I'm
not really doing too much anymore. So it's hard for
me to get him to training. But once I got
him the basics, which he caught on pretty quick, I
referred him up to Steve Boz because I knew he
would critique him, to know, and he had a little
(05:34):
leg up with me bringing him in there as far
as having some of the training down, you know, headlocks, forward, rolls,
go behind, shit like that. You know, the simple beginner stuff,
punching and kicking, you know. But he's done really good.
I'm really surprised on how he's at a show every weekend.
(05:56):
He's helping out at other shows, meeting people, getting connects,
and uh, he's an asset to define for wrestling for sure.
So O, yeah, bro, I appreciate you, team man.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, why can't we expect from the show that might
be unexpected?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
A great wrestling show, just a great wrestling show. There's
there's trying to think of anything. I mean, like we
got Cotis and Regan Lidell uh for the heavyweight so
or the world title, which whatever anybody wants to call it.
I know there's always some kind of discrepancy there. But
(06:37):
so the world title, uh, she's up for, so that's.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Going to be an interesting match, I think, Oh yeah,
for sure, And that's kind of like that wrest with
each other to kick things off in the.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Air and that again. Yeah yeah, yeah, they did pretty
they We did have a match with them before. It
was a banger, and then Gunner came in and cheated
her out of it. So now this is her retribution
she gets. Now Donner's going to be there again. I
don't know exactly. We don't have him in a match yet,
(07:08):
but you never know. Yeah, he was just he was
just in the hospital, so I'm not sure if he's
clear to wrestle yet. Oh yeah, so we'll see, he said,
We'll see how he feels. But okay, you.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Know, yeah, I hope he's doing much better.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I hope he he heals. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
When the fans are just brilling, how important are they
to the show, especially interacting with the crowd, and talk
about the variety of fans, the diversity of fans. You get,
so it's pretty much just like every other you know,
regular wrestling fan. You know, they get. We have a
lot of little kids that really get into it. The
(07:53):
adults there's a few that you know't really get into it.
You know, it's a diverse group of people that show
up to wrestle shows, you know. So, uh, it's a
lot of the We get a lot of people from Joliet, Chicago.
They're making the drive down for the shows, which is
impressive because it's a I mean, it's not that far.
(08:14):
It's about forty minutes south of Joliet, Illinois. So but
we're right off the highway, right off Route sixty six,
so it's it's closed.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
It's a it's a decent it's a decent drive. But
a lot of people are coming out for it. So
I've been impressed. It'd be better if we get the
township more, the township and Dwight more involved, but they're
more of a race car community that I've found out
since we've opened, wrestling up tractors and stuff apart. I
(08:50):
figured nobody was down here, so I'm like, this would
be a great spot, you know. And it started out
we were doing pretty good, but we just weren't pulling
in the townspeople. You know, they're not into it.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I will say though, like being from Delight where we are,
with like the fans like that.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Usually come in from Delight, they're not used to seeing
wrestling or anything like that they've all saw it when
they were kids, they grew up, grew out of it.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
But so when they do come to our shows, they're insane.
They get off on it.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
They absolutely they come back and they keep coming back.
And the thing is, we just need to really get
more of those people.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
To come in. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah, because all of them love it, they just they're
not used to it.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
MH. The shows we put on have been The workers
are like, I can't brag. I mean, you've seen the card.
If you know the workers, you know, they're it's top notch.
You know. Yeah, they put on one hell of a
show and they go out there. It's hard hitting, high flying,
it's it's one hell of a show. I'm thoroughly impressed
(09:55):
with the shows that we put on. I'm very happy
with them.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yes, for sure, you had some big championship uh champions crowned, right,
some big championship changes from the last show.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah yeah, yeah, we had alienated youth. They were n
w A guys and oh no, I feel bad the
new guy that took the futures legends, the what's his
name n w A. Yeah, damn it. I'm a melt
(10:28):
I've had thirty concussions, so I'll never forget his face. Face,
but I'm horrible a name is it? Yes? Yes? Okay?
Yeah and uh and then I'm I'm actually hoping that
(10:49):
this show, Reagan kicks Coatis's butt and takes the title
from him. So yeah, we're gonna have to see what happened.
Is that? Is that?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Is that going to be like for you, something unique
different than a woman would be holding the world championship?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah, I think it would be completely twenty twenty five,
you know, I think it would be. And she's a
great person, you know, she deserves that. She puts the
work in. Man, she's a she's a great performer as well.
So I'm hoping this I'm hoping to changes hands. Cotis
(11:28):
has got an attitude problem. Yeah yeah. How do you
feel about d Dylan Reagan winning? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Absolutely absolutely. I see her every single show that I
go to. Always, She's always putting in work. She's always
Even when I was first starting out and I went
to my first CSW show to talk to Steve Bais,
she reached out to me and said, Hi, how are
you doing? And at then, like I was still like
shy kid, I mean I still am now but I
(11:58):
mean I didn't know anyone at that point, and she
saw me from Defiant and came over to me, talking
to me and see how I was doing, Call me down,
and which helped me a lot, like go up to
Steve and like get that connection to start training. So absolutely,
I'm voting for Reagan all the way. She's gonna kick
his ass, Yeah, I hope.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah, Nakotas has been you know, kind of celebrating for
a while because he's been the champion for yeah about
a year, right, right.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yeah, it's going on a year. He took that at
we had a scaffold match, Yeah, and he took that
from Gunner Brave, which was very upsetting because I like
Gunner and he's a high, high energy wrestler, you know,
so I like that. I didn't really care for Codis
that much. He kind of grew on me with his promos.
(12:51):
I started laughing with him about him, and then he
just started becoming real arrogant, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, yeah, you can't exchange became Nick Cotis. Yeah, you're
you and him had an exchange right, uh to start
the show.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
We did, We did, and it hasn't been Uh. Yeah,
I'm just gonna leave it at that. We did have
an issue sure at my birthday show I believe. I
believe that was March fourteenth show. Yeah, kick me right
(13:31):
in the balls, hit me with the belt, yeah yeah yeah.
And he'll he'll get it one day. See, I'm older
and I'm broken, so I gotta do like surprise ship,
you know. So I patient, I've learned patients in my
old age, so I'll be able to eventually well rectify
that situation. All right, sounds good.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
And you have this, uh you know this, this line
up of great talent, and and you know, for you, Dylan,
when you see someone like Jack Jamison coming u you
know from Ring of Honor television against C J. Martin,
how do you feel about this one?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It's it's a hard one for me.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I mean, I'm still getting to know everybody. I've seen
all their matches. I've seen a bunch of their matches.
But honestly, I'm going with Jack mainly because like I've
seen what he's capable of.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I've seen more of him. But I mean, they're both
great talent. It's just.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Jack is.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
His attitude, his angering work, hits everything about him, his
top notch and I think it's going to go somewhere
much more than just Ring of Honor. But yeah, I'm
going Jack, I gotta say, man, what about you?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
So I've never I've never seen Jack before never. I know,
I did not know who he was. I I don't
watch I don't watch much much wrestling anymore, So, uh,
I didn't know who he was. I mean, yeah, I'm
looking at a picture. For me, he's pretty fucking Jack.
(15:15):
I don't know. C J. Martin is a good talent. Yeah,
So I mean, I for me, I'm gonna have to go.
I'm gonna have to go, c J. I'm gonna have
to go. CEJ. Look at him. He's going to a
w man. How yeah, you know, probably probably because one
(15:36):
of his friends got him the job. You never know,
you know. Yeah, he's pretty good on the microphone too.
He's been he's got the microscope.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Yeah, he's been doing this frat brat gimmick now with
frat stable with these guys.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
So, okay, he looks good. I mean like he definitely
looks the part.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yes, you know, so sure, And you know, can't you
can't look look past J. You know, I think you
know someone that I feel like is a like a
junior heavyweight prospect.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah, yeah, he's he's a great talent. C J. He's
a great town.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
So I think it's gonna be I think it's it's
gonna end up with Jack.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I think he's just gonna get in CJ's head. I
think he's gonna get in his head.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Like CJ is great, and honestly, he might be better
than Johnson.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
But I think at the end it's over, you think,
So we'll see, we'll see. I'm kind of pushing for CJ.
So yeah, same here. I'm pushing for CJ too.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
He's a former tag champion yeah with Brus Hamilton.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah yeah, yeah, and you know, because he's, uh, he's
one of our guys. So I gotta gotta push for him.
Jack's just coming in. We'll see if he comes back again.
You know, he's gonna be a w busy schedule coming up.
So oh yeah, we'll see. So CJ.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Uh, we got Dylan, You're facing Trent Wrigley, and talk
about your opponent.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Trent.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Trent Credible. I've seen him work in multiple places. He's
an awesome talent. I've met him a couple of times.
We've talked absolutely chill dude, great guy. But unfortunately due
to the fact that every single match that I've had
up to this point, I've gotten my.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Ass kicked.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Yeah, I got threw up in the sky and dropped
by Darius Lateral or was it not?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yes, yeah, yes, eight foot nine of that giant. Yeah,
that was a giant.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
So but now the past few months I've been focused
after that. I can't I can't let that happen again.
And I like Trent. He's a great dude, but if
it has to be at his expense, then I'm gonna
show how good.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I am now.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
H I guess that's just how it is, you know,
Like that's how that's how business works.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
For sure, for sure business both. He's making a debut
as well, I believe, so, yes he is. He is
your Yeah, I'm excited about it. I liked I met
him a couple of months ago at a show, and
when I've seen him in the back, he was kind
of quiet, reserve, you know. I'm like, you know, I
(18:38):
was like, oh boy, here we go. One of another
one that probably shouldn't be in the ring. No Mike skills,
real timid boy kid got out there and blew my mind, man,
I am honestly, I'm very excited to have him on
our show, and I'm hoping to have him on a
lot more because he brings great energy. Uh, just the
(19:00):
whole everything about him. I mean, if you've seen him,
his entrance is just alone. I was hooked when I
seen him. It's pretty good. I couldn't believe it was
the same kid. So I'm very glad that.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, when he comes to that curtains, he's very loud
and very uh yeah, yeah, completely completely yeah, yeah, But
I think Dylan's got something to prove with this one,
so I'm gonna cide him down.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I think he's gonna I think it's gonna be a
great match, but I think we wind up taking him out.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
All right, Well, looking forward to seeing that. Man, Hopefully
you get it done. And watch out for that that
board move he does.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Let's see if he gets it. Yeah. And then I think,
and I think that this is like an opponent for you.
That's that's good for you to get to your first
victory against.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Right, Like, he's not like seven foot tall like you.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
You measure up pretty well to him, right, He's uh,
Dylan's He's actually smaller I'm six foot Okay, you gotta be.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
He's probably like I don't know, he's like five ten
oh my height.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Dylan's got the height and the
reach on him, so right I think, uh.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Plus, I might have the strength advantage.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I've been hitting the gym.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I think.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
I think when it comes to me and him, he
might have speed. I'll give him that, but have de
termination he has. He's doing all this surfer stuff right now.
He's having fun. I have determination. I'm focused. I'm locked
in right now, and honestly, at the end of the day,
I think that beats having fun.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yes, we can't wait to see it. Man.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
And uh, you know anything you've been working on that's
different that you feel like you're gonna be able to
display or show off.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I'm keeping on my secrets. You'll see that at the show.
You gotta come, you gotta come and watch.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
When you look at another wrestler, Austin Mooie Tallow, how
impressed were you, guys?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Where you buy him?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
He went up against what was it a m B
I believe at the last show.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Possibility, that's a possibility. I can't recall. Uh, it's hard
for what I did yesterday, let alone March.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
He came from the Exodus pro territory as well, and yeah,
he think he came out successful.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
So yeah, he did pretty good. Yeah he does. He
does good. I do know that, Uh, he is a
great performer. I don't know much of him. I don't
I haven't really talked to uh and talk to him
much in the back. So well, I'm gonna keep an
eye on him for this one. Just with the Eric Surge. Yeah,
(22:09):
Eric Surge, So that should be interesting. Yeah. Eric is
the obi W National Champion, National Champion.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
He defeated Doug Bashon for that belt and the ob W.
So the exciting Eric Surge is one of the top
guys I've seen.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
You know, he's showing up in Chicago. He's showing up
all over again. I've seen him. I'm pretty sure he's
wrestling Steve Boz and w A coming NW Chicago. Yeah. Yeah,
so yeah, he's making waves. Huh. That's cool. It's good
to know that, you know, because I don't know everybody.
(22:46):
Like I said, Gunner does the booking, so I'm glad
that he does get I mean, obviously he's over at
ob W he's got to be top of his game.
So oh yeah, I'm looking forward to some of this,
some of these matches, and uh, I don't really look
forward to much for the for the matches just you know,
but some of the you know, mostly it's just matches
(23:09):
to me. But some of these are that Jack and
c J one. I'm very excited about his match. I'm
very excited about There's a few and and you know,
Cotis and Reagan are gonna that's that's I can't wait
for that. I've been waiting for that since March. I've
been one so and we got Nick Diamond and uh
(23:31):
kid that versus Mike Anthony and coha mhm with the
with the Aaron the manager. So I'm looking forward to
that one too. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, you and Mike Anthony had a match yeah, back
in March as well.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
So yeah, we don't talk about that. We'll talk about
that match. It's Mike Anthony. I know Mike Anthony for years.
He's one of the best out there still, I'll but
you put him against anybody right now. Yeah, I'm not
going to speculate how old he is, but I know
he's over fifty, you know, and he's he's still doing stuff.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
So to see him working with Co, who's like right now,
he's looking just absolutely monstrous. Yeah, with them facing kid.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Lat and Nick.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
I mean, I kid Lat maybe if he decided to
still be you know, cool, but now that he's just been,
since he's been with Nick, it's just been egos.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, So I think that then though, Mike and.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Co We're gonna destroy him absolutely, just molly wop him.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
We'll see, Yeah, I hope. So. I mean Nick's a
good talent. So, I mean, honestly, all of them are
are great talent. I hope Mike beat scrap out of Nick.
So he got involved in the match at the end, yes, yes, so,
(25:06):
and that's uh, that was an issue for me. So
I've known there for a while and I've always tried
to talk to him and tell him, like, hey, keep
keep that ego and check you know, But no, that
ego goes in the locker room, outside the locker room,
in the car at the grocery store doing laundry. He's
(25:30):
Nick Diamond all the time. Yeah, I know he lives
and breathes that.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah yeah, yeah, a good it is a good wrestler too,
Like he's like one of those guys that's really uh yeah,
I feel like it's great to see him have like
this homebase and the Buying Pro and h I think
this is like the promotion that's closest to him that
he's consistently Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, it'd be us to Rocket Pro. Okay, now he
was doing stuff for them a little while there, and uh,
I think that's gonna be an exciting match.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
And I think also the next big matches Tornado Kid
versus Connor Knox. Yeah, and uh, the Tornado Kid.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Has he appeared at the Fying Pro before?
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, right, you've had him there. He's uh, freakish, freakish.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
So you know, you know, I know I recognize him,
but some crazy you know, I had the shows. I'm
I'm running from the kitchen to the front door. I'm running.
Me and the wife are running it, so I'm kind
of all over and then trying to plan a match
out for my own stuff. So you're like in a
tornado yourself. Yeah, I don't, but I do remember that.
(26:51):
I was impressed because I was asking and they said
out was the Tornado Kid guy, and I was like, wow,
yeah they did. He's done some impressive matches that.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
I know and Connor Knox and any thoughts on him.
I think he was part of a Green Kid Challenge.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Oh he was, wasn't he? Yeah? Oh yeah, I think
he was. Did you see that? Yeah, so I was there.
Well how did he do? I thought he did pretty
good against Alfonso because that was an opener. That was
That was the opener, wasn't it. Yeah it was. Yeah. Yeah,
So I didn't get to see that, but I heard
(27:33):
good things about it. I did hear, but he did
it was pretty good. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I put some highlights on it on my Instagram and yeah,
they they met a good match. They started off. And
then you have the women, so we can't forget about
the woman. Is there gonna be an opportunity for these
women to compete for a championship in the future.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, so I have so right now. It's I don't
want to say it's in the world, but I have
a belt design that I'm going to have made. You know,
like anything in life, it's all about the money. So
I'm just waiting. We're me and the wife were saving up.
I have a tribute belt to a female star that
(28:18):
I want to put out there, and it's going to
be one of a kind. Well, there's not going to
be anything like it. So I got a good one
for the girls. It's going to be like our Bare
Knuckles belt. I don't know if you've seen that thirteen
pound mastrosity, but it's one beautiful belt. That's a replica
belt from Bare Knuckles from back in the late eighteen hundreds,
(28:41):
so John Sullivan's belt. So I did the reason I
did the John Sullivan the Bare Knuckles because that belt
was made the original belt was made for him from
the people of Boston joined in and pulled their money
together and they had a solid gold belt made with
(29:01):
diamonds and rubies and it was you know what a
championship belt looks like, you know, just Gord And when
he stopped boxing and started promoting, if they didn't make
money off the door to pay the boxers, he would
break a piece of the belt off and pay them
in gold. And did it so much there's no belt left.
(29:25):
There's just a It was a drawing of the belt
that they had and that's what I went by on
the internet and I sent it to this guy and
Pakistan of all places, and they made the belt for me.
So An exact replica. So it's a tribute belt, you know,
for the bare knuckles scene. Okay, so that's what you're
(29:49):
gonna utilize for the woman's Yes, I'm going to I
have a tribute belt. It's gonna be to China tribute belt.
So I'm not going to go into it too much,
but that's what I'm going with. Is the China tribute
so awesome? She deserves it, you know, definitely.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
So, oh no, just say the woman involved in the
matches Ashle and Alexander Tory Fox and Divina Thorne. Were
you in press by It was both Divina and Ashley
Alexander's debut uh last month.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I was. I was impressed with both of them. Did
an excellent job. I did get to watch that match,
and that was they did terrific. I know, Divina is
she's still green. I don't want to say green, but
she's still young.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
In the sport.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yeah, yeah, she's She's getting pushed now because people are
seeing that she has a natural talent for it and
I mean does as well. And they matched together. It
was a great, exciting, entertaining match. You couldn't ask for
a better match.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yes, I can't wait to see more women come, maybe
a Blairnys in the future.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
I know if you had her there before. Yeah, yeah,
I want her to come back. I liked her. She
was a good person and uh I love her character.
And she plays a wicked part.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yes, almost like the fiend kind of in her latest incarnation.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You know.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yeah, she won a championship recently.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Right, well, I think so, I think so, yeah, yeh.
And we had Maggie Lee was coming for a while too.
Now she got she's signed with TENA. Heather Reckless worked
for us once, which was great. I couldn't believe that
we had Maggie Lee and Heather Reckless wrestled each other,
(31:53):
and boy by what a match that was. That was
a banger. They freaking killed it. Man. Yeah. If I
have to pinpoint him at the favorite match, it would
have to be that that match between Maggie and her
that was They did a phenomenal job.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
My favorite was when we had what was his name
before I forget it was yeah, Lexus King now, oh
yeah star. We had him once like two years ago,
and he worked It was like Gunner and Cotis.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I think he worked something like that Gunner and uh
Conan liking yeah, if you know who that was we had,
we had that course they worked a three way and
that was that was a killer match. Wow, So that's
crazy if you've had him as well, Yeah, yeah, he came,
(32:45):
he came. Yeah, that was our first star that we
had come out was Brian Pillman. He was doing the
a W.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Still absolutely, and then Tory Fox. I'm not too familiar
with her.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I'm not either.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
I mean I've looked into some of her work. She's
a pretty popular talent.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Popular.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
I think she's the most popular woman going into that match,
and also the most experienced. So I think if you're
gonna put your vote on anyone, that's gonna be her
at the end of it.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
But Devina has been loving to piss people off lately.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yeah, she's been great.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah, she's she's a fireball man, She's like a little pitbull.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Force. So oh yeah, I can't put that out. Yeah, no,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Actually, Alexander is in a lot of promotions like throughout
the country so so far, so the Midwest.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
So how are you going? Pretty good? Man? How are
you eight?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
We're doing good, hanging in there. That's good, trying to
get through the week. But I appreciate you guys being
on talk about how this show is taking off, defying
pro since then, you know, three years ago.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
So three years ago I started hiring friends to come
run the shows and it didn't go over very well.
We wound up getting Gunner Brave took over as our
booker and he's been getting us some of the top
future stars and you know Jack Jamison and h from
(01:22):
a E W R O H, the OVW NW a
like he's gone above and beyond of putting some of
the top talent that's out there on our cards right now.
Oh wow, Very very grateful for him for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Definitely, definitely, that's amazing that I you've been able to
find someone that's got the division too.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, been what they had to the table.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
And and you know, I'm sure you guys have watched
wrestling as much as you've you know, you've been at
shows as much as you've performed show, so you're kind
of like this point, know what you like and what
you don't like, right, Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, most definitely, most definitely some of the people that
are are coming in are just you know, great people,
and they are, like I said, they're some of the
best around right now that I've seen. I mean, I
got I was wrestling out in southern Indiana and it's there,
(02:24):
you know, the talent down there, the talent pool is
very small. You know, they're just throwing anybody in the
ring and saying, oh yeah, I'm a professional wrestler. Once
we started to come back up here and I seen
like we met uh we met Gunner at Indianapolis show,
a comic con that we did, and I was thoroughly
(02:47):
impressed on what a great worker he was. And then
so he started to introduce us to everybody, and there's
some really great talent, and we completely stacked this card
from beginning to end with the top talent. And then
we got Dylan's got his his first match, first match.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
First official match, first flyer or yeah, first.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Flyer, at your second official third, I think third? Now third, yeah, third, guy.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I just got my buck kick in the first few though.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah, it happens.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
We're learning, we're getting back, yeah, right right, definitely. And
talk about like the dynamic you two have. Do you
like to bounce ideas off of each other? And like
the advice Dylan, he likes.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
To bounce a lot of ideas off of me, you know,
the I'm young, I'm creative.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah, I keep i keep having different things coming out
of my head.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I'm winding down with it. I'm more of a nineties,
eighties and nineties wrestling. I like the characters, you know,
the iron cheeks and the whole Coogan's and and all that,
which have completely faded away. Everybody seems like they're just
the same tough guy now, so it's hard for me
to get into it. But when he starts talking about it,
(04:09):
what I like to see about him is the passion
that he has for it. And I actually met him
years ago. He was taking pictures at my wedding and
and that's how we wounded up meeting. And then he
came to our first show and he looked like a
completely different kid. I didn't recognize him, and I was
telling him about, you know, we wanted to do a
(04:30):
little training and stuff out here, and he's like, I'm in,
And he's been in ever since. He's been chopping at
the bit and recently, like the past I don't know,
four or five months, he just completely submerged himself into
everything wrestling.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
So I started training with a CSW Yeah yeah, Boss.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah the Boz. So I knew Boss from back. I
knew him from back in Windy City. And when I
start to train him, I can't I'm not really, I mean,
I can't call myself a trainer because I don't know
exactly everything. I don't chain wrestle. It's many years since
(05:13):
I actually like, you know, I'm doing punch, kick, chop,
maybe a body slam. You know, I'm beat up. I'm
not really doing too much anymore. So it's hard for
me to get him to training. But once I got
him the basics, which he caught on pretty quick, I
referred him up to Steve Boz because I knew he
would critique him, to know, and he had a little
(05:34):
leg up with me bringing him in there as far
as having some of the training down, you know, headlocks, forward, rolls,
go behind, shit like that. You know, the simple beginner stuff,
punching and kicking, you know. But he's done really good.
I'm really surprised on how he's at a show every weekend.
(05:56):
He's helping out at other shows, meeting people, getting connects,
and uh, he's an asset to define for wrestling for sure.
So O, yeah, bro, I appreciate you, team man.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, why can't we expect from the show that might
be unexpected?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
A great wrestling show, just a great wrestling show. There's
there's trying to think of anything. I mean, like we
got Cotis and Regan Lidell uh for the heavyweight so
or the world title, which whatever anybody wants to call it.
I know there's always some kind of discrepancy there. But
(06:37):
so the world title, uh, she's up for, so that's.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Going to be an interesting match, I think, Oh yeah,
for sure, And that's kind of like that wrest with
each other to kick things off in the.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Air and that again. Yeah yeah, yeah, they did pretty
they We did have a match with them before. It
was a banger, and then Gunner came in and cheated
her out of it. So now this is her retribution
she gets. Now Donner's going to be there again. I
don't know exactly. We don't have him in a match yet,
(07:08):
but you never know. Yeah, he was just he was
just in the hospital, so I'm not sure if he's
clear to wrestle yet. Oh yeah, so we'll see, he said,
We'll see how he feels. But okay, you.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Know, yeah, I hope he's doing much better.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I hope he he heals. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
When the fans are just brilling, how important are they
to the show, especially interacting with the crowd, and talk
about the variety of fans, the diversity of fans. You get,
so it's pretty much just like every other you know,
regular wrestling fan. You know, they get. We have a
lot of little kids that really get into it. The
(07:53):
adults there's a few that you know't really get into it.
You know, it's a diverse group of people that show
up to wrestle shows, you know. So, uh, it's a
lot of the We get a lot of people from Joliet, Chicago.
They're making the drive down for the shows, which is
impressive because it's a I mean, it's not that far.
(08:14):
It's about forty minutes south of Joliet, Illinois. So but
we're right off the highway, right off Route sixty six,
so it's it's closed.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
It's a it's a decent it's a decent drive. But
a lot of people are coming out for it. So
I've been impressed. It'd be better if we get the
township more, the township and Dwight more involved, but they're
more of a race car community that I've found out
since we've opened, wrestling up tractors and stuff apart. I
(08:50):
figured nobody was down here, so I'm like, this would
be a great spot, you know. And it started out
we were doing pretty good, but we just weren't pulling
in the townspeople. You know, they're not into it.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I will say though, like being from Delight where we are,
with like the fans like that.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Usually come in from Delight, they're not used to seeing
wrestling or anything like that they've all saw it when
they were kids, they grew up, grew out of it.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
But so when they do come to our shows, they're insane.
They get off on it.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
They absolutely they come back and they keep coming back.
And the thing is, we just need to really get
more of those people.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
To come in. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah, because all of them love it, they just they're
not used to it.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
MH. The shows we put on have been The workers
are like, I can't brag. I mean, you've seen the card.
If you know the workers, you know, they're it's top notch.
You know. Yeah, they put on one hell of a
show and they go out there. It's hard hitting, high flying,
it's it's one hell of a show. I'm thoroughly impressed
(09:55):
with the shows that we put on. I'm very happy
with them.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yes, for sure, you had some big championship uh champions crowned, right,
some big championship changes from the last show.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah yeah, yeah, we had alienated youth. They were n
w A guys and oh no, I feel bad the
new guy that took the futures legends, the what's his
name n w A. Yeah, damn it. I'm a melt
(10:28):
I've had thirty concussions, so I'll never forget his face. Face,
but I'm horrible a name is it? Yes? Yes? Okay?
Yeah and uh and then I'm I'm actually hoping that
(10:49):
this show, Reagan kicks Coatis's butt and takes the title
from him. So yeah, we're gonna have to see what happened.
Is that? Is that?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Is that going to be like for you, something unique
different than a woman would be holding the world championship?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah, I think it would be completely twenty twenty five,
you know, I think it would be. And she's a
great person, you know, she deserves that. She puts the
work in. Man, she's a she's a great performer as well.
So I'm hoping this I'm hoping to changes hands. Cotis
(11:28):
has got an attitude problem. Yeah yeah. How do you
feel about d Dylan Reagan winning? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Absolutely absolutely. I see her every single show that I
go to. Always, She's always putting in work. She's always
Even when I was first starting out and I went
to my first CSW show to talk to Steve Bais,
she reached out to me and said, Hi, how are
you doing? And at then, like I was still like
shy kid, I mean I still am now but I
(11:58):
mean I didn't know anyone at that point, and she
saw me from Defiant and came over to me, talking
to me and see how I was doing, Call me down,
and which helped me a lot, like go up to
Steve and like get that connection to start training. So absolutely,
I'm voting for Reagan all the way. She's gonna kick
his ass, Yeah, I hope.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah, Nakotas has been you know, kind of celebrating for
a while because he's been the champion for yeah about
a year, right, right.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yeah, it's going on a year. He took that at
we had a scaffold match, Yeah, and he took that
from Gunner Brave, which was very upsetting because I like
Gunner and he's a high, high energy wrestler, you know,
so I like that. I didn't really care for Codis
that much. He kind of grew on me with his promos.
(12:51):
I started laughing with him about him, and then he
just started becoming real arrogant, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, yeah, you can't exchange became Nick Cotis. Yeah, you're
you and him had an exchange right, uh to start
the show.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
We did, We did, and it hasn't been Uh. Yeah,
I'm just gonna leave it at that. We did have
an issue sure at my birthday show I believe. I
believe that was March fourteenth show. Yeah, kick me right
(13:31):
in the balls, hit me with the belt, yeah yeah yeah.
And he'll he'll get it one day. See, I'm older
and I'm broken, so I gotta do like surprise ship,
you know. So I patient, I've learned patients in my
old age, so I'll be able to eventually well rectify
that situation. All right, sounds good.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
And you have this, uh you know this, this line
up of great talent, and and you know, for you, Dylan,
when you see someone like Jack Jamison coming u you
know from Ring of Honor television against C J. Martin,
how do you feel about this one?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It's it's a hard one for me.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I mean, I'm still getting to know everybody. I've seen
all their matches. I've seen a bunch of their matches.
But honestly, I'm going with Jack mainly because like I've
seen what he's capable of.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I've seen more of him. But I mean, they're both
great talent. It's just.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Jack is.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
His attitude, his angering work, hits everything about him, his
top notch and I think it's going to go somewhere
much more than just Ring of Honor. But yeah, I'm
going Jack, I gotta say, man, what about you?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
So I've never I've never seen Jack before never. I know,
I did not know who he was. I I don't
watch I don't watch much much wrestling anymore, So, uh,
I didn't know who he was. I mean, yeah, I'm
looking at a picture. For me, he's pretty fucking Jack.
(15:15):
I don't know. C J. Martin is a good talent. Yeah,
So I mean, I for me, I'm gonna have to go.
I'm gonna have to go, c J. I'm gonna have
to go. CEJ. Look at him. He's going to a
w man. How yeah, you know, probably probably because one
(15:36):
of his friends got him the job. You never know,
you know. Yeah, he's pretty good on the microphone too.
He's been he's got the microscope.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Yeah, he's been doing this frat brat gimmick now with
frat stable with these guys.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
So, okay, he looks good. I mean like he definitely
looks the part.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yes, you know, so sure, And you know, can't you
can't look look past J. You know, I think you
know someone that I feel like is a like a
junior heavyweight prospect.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah, yeah, he's he's a great talent. C J. He's
a great town.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
So I think it's gonna be I think it's it's
gonna end up with Jack.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I think he's just gonna get in CJ's head. I
think he's gonna get in his head.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Like CJ is great, and honestly, he might be better
than Johnson.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
But I think at the end it's over, you think,
So we'll see, we'll see. I'm kind of pushing for CJ.
So yeah, same here. I'm pushing for CJ too.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
He's a former tag champion yeah with Brus Hamilton.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah yeah, yeah, and you know, because he's, uh, he's
one of our guys. So I gotta gotta push for him.
Jack's just coming in. We'll see if he comes back again.
You know, he's gonna be a w busy schedule coming up.
So oh yeah, we'll see. So CJ.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Uh, we got Dylan, You're facing Trent Wrigley, and talk
about your opponent.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Trent.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Trent Credible. I've seen him work in multiple places. He's
an awesome talent. I've met him a couple of times.
We've talked absolutely chill dude, great guy. But unfortunately due
to the fact that every single match that I've had
up to this point, I've gotten my.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Ass kicked.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Yeah, I got threw up in the sky and dropped
by Darius Lateral or was it not?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yes, yeah, yes, eight foot nine of that giant. Yeah,
that was a giant.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
So but now the past few months I've been focused
after that. I can't I can't let that happen again.
And I like Trent. He's a great dude, but if
it has to be at his expense, then I'm gonna
show how good.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I am now.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
H I guess that's just how it is, you know,
Like that's how that's how business works.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
For sure, for sure business both. He's making a debut
as well, I believe, so, yes he is. He is
your Yeah, I'm excited about it. I liked I met
him a couple of months ago at a show, and
when I've seen him in the back, he was kind
of quiet, reserve, you know. I'm like, you know, I
(18:38):
was like, oh boy, here we go. One of another
one that probably shouldn't be in the ring. No Mike skills,
real timid boy kid got out there and blew my mind, man,
I am honestly, I'm very excited to have him on
our show, and I'm hoping to have him on a
lot more because he brings great energy. Uh, just the
(19:00):
whole everything about him. I mean, if you've seen him,
his entrance is just alone. I was hooked when I
seen him. It's pretty good. I couldn't believe it was
the same kid. So I'm very glad that.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, when he comes to that curtains, he's very loud
and very uh yeah, yeah, completely completely yeah, yeah, But
I think Dylan's got something to prove with this one,
so I'm gonna cide him down.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I think he's gonna I think it's gonna be a
great match, but I think we wind up taking him out.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
All right, Well, looking forward to seeing that. Man, Hopefully
you get it done. And watch out for that that
board move he does.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Let's see if he gets it. Yeah. And then I think,
and I think that this is like an opponent for you.
That's that's good for you to get to your first
victory against.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Right, Like, he's not like seven foot tall like you.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
You measure up pretty well to him, right, He's uh,
Dylan's He's actually smaller I'm six foot Okay, you gotta be.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
He's probably like I don't know, he's like five ten
oh my height.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Dylan's got the height and the
reach on him, so right I think, uh.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Plus, I might have the strength advantage.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I've been hitting the gym.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I think.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
I think when it comes to me and him, he
might have speed. I'll give him that, but have de
termination he has. He's doing all this surfer stuff right now.
He's having fun. I have determination. I'm focused. I'm locked
in right now, and honestly, at the end of the day,
I think that beats having fun.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yes, we can't wait to see it. Man.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
And uh, you know anything you've been working on that's
different that you feel like you're gonna be able to
display or show off.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I'm keeping on my secrets. You'll see that at the show.
You gotta come, you gotta come and watch.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
When you look at another wrestler, Austin Mooie Tallow, how
impressed were you, guys?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Where you buy him?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
He went up against what was it a m B
I believe at the last show.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Possibility, that's a possibility. I can't recall. Uh, it's hard
for what I did yesterday, let alone March.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
He came from the Exodus pro territory as well, and yeah,
he think he came out successful.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
So yeah, he did pretty good. Yeah he does. He
does good. I do know that, Uh, he is a
great performer. I don't know much of him. I don't
I haven't really talked to uh and talk to him
much in the back. So well, I'm gonna keep an
eye on him for this one. Just with the Eric Surge. Yeah,
(22:09):
Eric Surge, So that should be interesting. Yeah. Eric is
the obi W National Champion, National Champion.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
He defeated Doug Bashon for that belt and the ob W.
So the exciting Eric Surge is one of the top
guys I've seen.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
You know, he's showing up in Chicago. He's showing up
all over again. I've seen him. I'm pretty sure he's
wrestling Steve Boz and w A coming NW Chicago. Yeah. Yeah,
so yeah, he's making waves. Huh. That's cool. It's good
to know that, you know, because I don't know everybody.
(22:46):
Like I said, Gunner does the booking, so I'm glad
that he does get I mean, obviously he's over at
ob W he's got to be top of his game.
So oh yeah, I'm looking forward to some of this,
some of these matches, and uh, I don't really look
forward to much for the for the matches just you know,
but some of the you know, mostly it's just matches
(23:09):
to me. But some of these are that Jack and
c J one. I'm very excited about his match. I'm
very excited about There's a few and and you know,
Cotis and Reagan are gonna that's that's I can't wait
for that. I've been waiting for that since March. I've
been one so and we got Nick Diamond and uh
(23:31):
kid that versus Mike Anthony and coha mhm with the
with the Aaron the manager. So I'm looking forward to
that one too. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, you and Mike Anthony had a match yeah, back
in March as well.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
So yeah, we don't talk about that. We'll talk about
that match. It's Mike Anthony. I know Mike Anthony for years.
He's one of the best out there still, I'll but
you put him against anybody right now. Yeah, I'm not
going to speculate how old he is, but I know
he's over fifty, you know, and he's he's still doing stuff.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
So to see him working with Co, who's like right now,
he's looking just absolutely monstrous. Yeah, with them facing kid.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Lat and Nick.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
I mean, I kid Lat maybe if he decided to
still be you know, cool, but now that he's just been,
since he's been with Nick, it's just been egos.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, So I think that then though, Mike and.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Co We're gonna destroy him absolutely, just molly wop him.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
We'll see, Yeah, I hope. So. I mean Nick's a
good talent. So, I mean, honestly, all of them are
are great talent. I hope Mike beat scrap out of Nick.
So he got involved in the match at the end, yes, yes, so,
(25:06):
and that's uh, that was an issue for me. So
I've known there for a while and I've always tried
to talk to him and tell him, like, hey, keep
keep that ego and check you know, But no, that
ego goes in the locker room, outside the locker room,
in the car at the grocery store doing laundry. He's
(25:30):
Nick Diamond all the time. Yeah, I know he lives
and breathes that.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah yeah, yeah, a good it is a good wrestler too,
Like he's like one of those guys that's really uh yeah,
I feel like it's great to see him have like
this homebase and the Buying Pro and h I think
this is like the promotion that's closest to him that
he's consistently Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, it'd be us to Rocket Pro. Okay, now he
was doing stuff for them a little while there, and uh,
I think that's gonna be an exciting match.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
And I think also the next big matches Tornado Kid
versus Connor Knox. Yeah, and uh, the Tornado Kid.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Has he appeared at the Fying Pro before?
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, right, you've had him there. He's uh, freakish, freakish.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
So you know, you know, I know I recognize him,
but some crazy you know, I had the shows. I'm
I'm running from the kitchen to the front door. I'm running.
Me and the wife are running it, so I'm kind
of all over and then trying to plan a match
out for my own stuff. So you're like in a
tornado yourself. Yeah, I don't, but I do remember that.
(26:51):
I was impressed because I was asking and they said
out was the Tornado Kid guy, and I was like, wow,
yeah they did. He's done some impressive matches that.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
I know and Connor Knox and any thoughts on him.
I think he was part of a Green Kid Challenge.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Oh he was, wasn't he? Yeah? Oh yeah, I think
he was. Did you see that? Yeah, so I was there.
Well how did he do? I thought he did pretty
good against Alfonso because that was an opener. That was
That was the opener, wasn't it. Yeah it was. Yeah. Yeah,
So I didn't get to see that, but I heard
(27:33):
good things about it. I did hear, but he did
it was pretty good. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I put some highlights on it on my Instagram and yeah,
they they met a good match. They started off. And
then you have the women, so we can't forget about
the woman. Is there gonna be an opportunity for these
women to compete for a championship in the future.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, so I have so right now. It's I don't
want to say it's in the world, but I have
a belt design that I'm going to have made. You know,
like anything in life, it's all about the money. So
I'm just waiting. We're me and the wife were saving up.
I have a tribute belt to a female star that
(28:18):
I want to put out there, and it's going to
be one of a kind. Well, there's not going to
be anything like it. So I got a good one
for the girls. It's going to be like our Bare
Knuckles belt. I don't know if you've seen that thirteen
pound mastrosity, but it's one beautiful belt. That's a replica
belt from Bare Knuckles from back in the late eighteen hundreds,
(28:41):
so John Sullivan's belt. So I did the reason I
did the John Sullivan the Bare Knuckles because that belt
was made the original belt was made for him from
the people of Boston joined in and pulled their money
together and they had a solid gold belt made with
(29:01):
diamonds and rubies and it was you know what a
championship belt looks like, you know, just Gord And when
he stopped boxing and started promoting, if they didn't make
money off the door to pay the boxers, he would
break a piece of the belt off and pay them
in gold. And did it so much there's no belt left.
(29:25):
There's just a It was a drawing of the belt
that they had and that's what I went by on
the internet and I sent it to this guy and
Pakistan of all places, and they made the belt for me.
So An exact replica. So it's a tribute belt, you know,
for the bare knuckles scene. Okay, so that's what you're
(29:49):
gonna utilize for the woman's Yes, I'm going to I
have a tribute belt. It's gonna be to China tribute belt.
So I'm not going to go into it too much,
but that's what I'm going with. Is the China tribute
so awesome? She deserves it, you know, definitely.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
So, oh no, just say the woman involved in the
matches Ashle and Alexander Tory Fox and Divina Thorne. Were
you in press by It was both Divina and Ashley
Alexander's debut uh last month.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I was. I was impressed with both of them. Did
an excellent job. I did get to watch that match,
and that was they did terrific. I know, Divina is
she's still green. I don't want to say green, but
she's still young.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
In the sport.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yeah, yeah, she's She's getting pushed now because people are
seeing that she has a natural talent for it and
I mean does as well. And they matched together. It
was a great, exciting, entertaining match. You couldn't ask for
a better match.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yes, I can't wait to see more women come, maybe
a Blairnys in the future.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
I know if you had her there before. Yeah, yeah,
I want her to come back. I liked her. She
was a good person and uh I love her character.
And she plays a wicked part.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yes, almost like the fiend kind of in her latest incarnation.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You know.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yeah, she won a championship recently.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Right, well, I think so, I think so, yeah, yeh.
And we had Maggie Lee was coming for a while too.
Now she got she's signed with TENA. Heather Reckless worked
for us once, which was great. I couldn't believe that
we had Maggie Lee and Heather Reckless wrestled each other,
(31:53):
and boy by what a match that was. That was
a banger. They freaking killed it. Man. Yeah. If I
have to pinpoint him at the favorite match, it would
have to be that that match between Maggie and her
that was They did a phenomenal job.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
My favorite was when we had what was his name
before I forget it was yeah, Lexus King now, oh
yeah star. We had him once like two years ago,
and he worked It was like Gunner and Cotis.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I think he worked something like that Gunner and uh
Conan liking yeah, if you know who that was we had,
we had that course they worked a three way and
that was that was a killer match. Wow, So that's
crazy if you've had him as well, Yeah, yeah, he came,
(32:45):
he came. Yeah, that was our first star that we
had come out was Brian Pillman. He was doing the
a W.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Still absolutely, and then Tory Fox. I'm not too familiar
with her.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I'm not either.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
I mean I've looked into some of her work. She's
a pretty popular talent.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Popular.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
I think she's the most popular woman going into that match,
and also the most experienced. So I think if you're
gonna put your vote on anyone, that's gonna be her
at the end of it.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
But Devina has been loving to piss people off lately.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yeah, she's been great.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah, she's she's a fireball man, She's like a little pitbull.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
