I was able to talk to Baron Corbyn and also
talk to the w w E World Tag Team Champions,
Tamaso Champlain and Johnny Gargano, Cleveland's own Johnny Gargano, also
known as d I Y. We we had great conversation.
(02:01):
Everybody was was awesome, Everybody was real cool, and it
was it was a really good experience. It was packed
in there, and there were so many different media outlets
and things like that, but it was it was a
really it was a really enjoyable experience. We didn't get
a ton of time with them, but we got enough
(02:22):
time to get some to get some good material and
some good some good information, particularly for Cleveland listeners. Uh
you'll hear Johnny Gargano's thoughts on Brown Stadium, which they're
actually going to be in this weekend and whether it
should stay on the lake Front or go to h
(02:44):
suburban Cleveland as people are discussing. So without further ado,
we are going to get into that interview. We'll start
with Tamaso Champa and Johnny Gargano, d I y the
World Tech Team Champions. We'll get to that, the ww
Tag Team Champions. Excuse me, we'll get to that right now.
(03:06):
All right, we are here at SummerSlam weekend here in
my home city and also home city of one half
of the Tag Team Champions as well. D I wyld Welcome.
How y'all doing good? Man, thanks for having us absolutely
so first, before we get this thing started, I heard
Sean Ross Sap talking a lot of trash. I think
we should ban him from entering in the city of Cleveland.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
Are asking to ban him from these interview conferences for a.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Long time now, unprofessional, unprofessional host.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Don't ban Hi because he's unprofessional. Ban him because he's
a Bengals.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Fan, right and he brought the jersey with his name
on it and all that. So man, speaking of that,
you talk a lot about being from Cleveland. Man, what
does it feel like to be here with this big
event in Cleveland SmackDown tonight SummerSlam on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, it's literally a dream come true. Man.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
For years, I have hoped for a Big four wvpl
E to be in Cleveland, Ohio. But you know, Cleveland
isn't considered like one of the big markets, right, so
I just never thought it would happen. But the fact
that it's finally happening, it's actually going down. SummerSlam is
back in Cleveland, Ohio. All these people from around the
world are coming to a city I firmly love and
firmly believe in.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
It's It's so freaking cool, man. I'm ready for this
weekend to get going Summer sleep nights. Yeah, keep it
going too, is keep going? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah? Absolutely that that would be amazing. So you guys
are also I believe main inventing SmackDown defending the Tag
tim Championships. Talk about what that's like. Man, You're main
inventing in your home city at the Rocket Mortgage Field House.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It's you know, I couldn't write it any better.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Man.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
That was the building I grew up watching TV shows.
That's the building where I really solidified my love of
this and solidified my desire to want to do this.
And the fact that I get to come back there
and defend my DOOV Tag Team Championship in the main
event in that building in front of my family and friends,
like dream come true.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Man, Awesome man, Tomaso, you you I've had to go
through a lot. You've had to recover from serious injuries.
Talk a little bit about what that role, what that
journey was like to get from there to where you are.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Yeah, man, injuries just part of the game. I feel
like I've had more than my fair share, unfortunately. But
you know what you're signing up for when you decide
to be a pro wrestler, and nothing changes. You know
the setbacks are expected. You just keep working hard and
you just keep your eye on the prize because you
always know better days of to come, and right now
(05:29):
we're living in some of the best days.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
And what kept you going mentally as you were going
through through that, knowing that you'd be able to come back,
what was able to keep you pushing.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
So I just have a real desire to achieve more
than I've accomplished thus far, and I feel like that's
what always just pushes me to keep this going. I
love what we accomplished inn NXT, I love what I
did on the Independence, I love that we're the tag
team champions, But there's so many more pl is that
we want to per form on, so many other arenas.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
That we want to headline. That is just like you.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
You know that and internally that's what pushes you, like
You've got to accomplish that goal.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
The only way to do it is one foot in front.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
Of the other.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Absolutely, Johnny, we got to spend a little bit of
time talking about these new titles. They're absolutely gorgeous. What
do you think about the new tech.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
The most beautiful titles in all professional wrestling? I think
what would make them prettier though.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Side plates. That's been the IY plus side plates. So
we got to get them going tonight.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
All right. And finally two questions, one for you and
then the last one for the both of you, obviously
by you being a Cleveland guy and a Browns fan.
What's your thoughts on the stadium? Should it stay in
the city, should it go to Brookport?
Speaker 6 (06:42):
There's a hot take considering we're gonna be in that
stadium this weekend. Look, I've spent numerous Sundays freezing like
crazy in brown Stadium. I went to literally the coldest
game in franchise history with my one year old at
the time. So I tell you how deep of a
Browns fan I am so in saying that I am
all about building the don't in brook Park Let's get
the dome. I don't want to freeze anyone. Yes, they're
(07:03):
gonna build it. Let's build a dome in brook Park.
Parking sucks going downtown. I'm really hyping it up. Parking
sucks going downtown. It's cold. Let's build a dome, guys.
Let's get Russell Mania to Cleveland. Let's build a dome.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
They're gonna move it though, Yeah, but I like it.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
They're all And finally, to the both of you. For
anybody who's listening, who may want to follow in you
guys's footsteps, what advice would you give them?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
First few, I'm just a kid from Cleveland, Ohio living
a dream man. I'm nothing special.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
I feel like if if I can do it, if
you have a dream, I'm sure tonight like there's gonna
be kids in that audience at a Rock and mortorfield
House seeing their first show like I did twenty eight
years ago, and hopefully tonight spark something in them like
it it for me.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Find yourself a Randy Ordon and make sure you continuously
try to rkom because the day I hit that, I
tell you I can die happy.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
That's what I tell you.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
That's when I tell the kids these days.
Speaker 4 (07:57):

(09:42):
get to our interview with Baron Corbin at WWE summersum
Weekend here in Cleveland. All right, we are here at
SummerSlam weekend here in Cleveland, and I am with Baron Corbin.
Welcome out.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
You doing life is good man, We're hanging out.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
We're having fun, absolutely man, and so you know, you've
had a rebirth in your character. You had a great
run in NXT. Talk a little bit about how that was.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Yeah, I mean it felt good. It felt good to
get down there and really grab on to what I
was doing. Because Sean and Russo they wanted me to
be creative. They wanted to help me tell the story
that I wanted to tell. So we got to get
out there and do that. And I think the fans
grabbed onto it because they were like, man, this is
the first time we're getting the real Baron Corby, and
this is this is what we want to see, this
is what we want to support. And so for me,
(10:30):
it was it was everything. It rejuvenated everything in me.
My body felt good coming out of there and back
to the main roster, my mind and just the excitement,
the energy for this. It's back full throttle.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
So, and I saw you and and Brian over there
kind of doing the wolf Dogs thing. Talk about that,
because that that took off. Did you know the wolf
Dogs thing was gonna take off like you did?
Speaker 5 (10:54):
No, I had no clue. I think you know, Russo
and Sean saw our relationship as buddies in the locker
room and the way we treat each other where we
were giving each other a trouble NonStop, and I pick
on him like an older brother sometimes and they're like, hey, man,
let's put this on screen and see if it works.
And it really did. It was really organic, and it
took off way more than I ever expected, and people
(11:16):
were sad when it came to an end, so that
means it was good. It means we got to do
it again at some point.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Yeah. Absolutely, And during this rebirth, you've become a bit
of a fan favorite. Now which one do you enjoy more?
Do you enjoy being the fan favorite or do you
enjoy being the heel man.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
I'm having a lot of fun right now being a
fan favorite because it's new, it's refreshing, and it's organic.
It's not something that we were like, hey he's a
good guy, now cheer him like they did it on
their own. We never did a turn. I didn't change
who I was or how I carried myself. It was
very natural, and I think that's what is really cool
about it, because the fans are truly enjoying it and
they're getting behind me, and it's just so fun to see.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Absolutely, and I know we got to wrap this up soon.
So a couple of more One for people who are
listening who may be interested in want to follow in
the footsteps of all of you, all of you guys,
what advice would you give.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
To really invest in yourself and make some take some chances.
You know, whatever it is that puts your name out there,
you know, whether it's sports or it's TV show or
social media, whatever it is, where you can draw that
attention and where people want to see you. I think
that's the biggest thing to getting your name heard by
this this industry. We want people from every walk of
(12:29):
life to be a part of w and so the
more you can create that buzz around your name, the better.
And then just just really be passionate about it, because
if you're not, if you're phoning it in, people read
right through it and it'll never work.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
And finally, I heard a little bit of trash talking
while I was standing in line, Little Brown's and Chiefs
trash talking. So first, how do you think your boys
are going to do this year? And also are you
and and MS and Johnny gonna have a little friendly wager?
Speaker 5 (12:59):
I always try to bet them. They always run their
mouths MS and Johnny about their team, and then when
it comes down to push and shove, they never actually
follow through on the bet because they know, deep down
their hearts they will never be the Chiefs, they will
never be as good as the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
There's a lot of other.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Teams above the Browns. I mean, the Browns are an
eight win team, maybe a six win team. So I
mean they can hope and dream all they want. It's
just Kansas City's gonna three p That's all I have
to say. Oh wow, that's a big that's a bold prediction. Well,
thanks man for spending some time with us. Appreciated absolutely.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Pray one more time. I want to send a special
shout out to Tamaso, Champa, to Johnny Gargano, to Baron
Corbin from the WWE for spending time with us and
doing this interview, doing these interviews I really appreciated. Thank
you to the WWE for allowing us to participate in
(13:59):
some of the festivities as well. We absolutely appreciate that also.
All right, we are out of here. We'll see you
next time.
