00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:07.439
sh boy Kanye Twitty down here.
We got mean lion in the building.

7
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:12.799
I'm mean lion as usual here on
the WWE podcasting. H you know,

8
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:19.439
I'm just this got gotten crazy.
We've this is somebody we've seen at independent

9
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.079
shows. I'm gonna let him introduce
himself. I'm sir, sir, sir,

10
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:29.000
sir you yeah, that's a talking
head guy, orange shirt guy.

11
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:37.280
How are you? Greetings and salivation. I'm Drexel, homicidal artist. Uh.

12
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:41.959
Maybe a deathmatch darling. I don't
know. I just I enjoy cutting

13
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.319
people with paper, uh and then
stapling said paper to their head. I'm

14
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.079
just a runner mill, you know, just an average Joe. How are

15
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:57.319
you guys? On this fine Sunday
afternoon, I'm questioning my my life decisions

16
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.120
to wake up this morning. I
do that all the time. It's amazing.

17
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:05.120
You know, after a good match
and you roll around enough glass and

18
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.000
you take the shower. It's not
the death matches that suck. It's the

19
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:14.439
shower afterwards that that's where you're sitting
there and you're just trying to pull out

20
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.400
bits and pieces so they don't get
stuck in you because then you get infections

21
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.240
and you got to go to hospitals
and that costs money. And I'm an

22
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.960
independent wrestler, so I have no
money. But I mean, like that

23
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:30.280
shower that makes you question all of
your choices in life of like how did

24
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:34.800
I get here? Because you know, at one point in my life I

25
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.039
have a college degree, and I
used to be on billboards and I was

26
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:45.840
a radio star, and somehow I've
become Drexel over the last I don't know

27
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.719
that. Eighteen years of my life
in pro wrestling. Wow, Wow,

28
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.639
eighteen years. Eighteen years. Yeah, I've been doing this a long time.

29
00:02:54.639 --> 00:03:00.159
I'm really old. I fart dust, don't worry. I think I

30
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.039
gotten to me. Lyon does that
too, and he's not old. He's

31
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:09.280
just well, well, hey,
you know you say, you say these

32
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:13.840
death matches. Have that been a
thing like, is that what got you

33
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:15.840
in the wrestling? Have you been
doing it since you've got there? Because

34
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:22.560
that's all I've ever seen, and
you were crazy too. I've I've been

35
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:27.919
a kind of seer wrestling since I
was Oh, we live a little Tyler

36
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.599
and in Detroit I was I was
the white kid with the big mouth that

37
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.599
I used to fight a lot.
He used to get stopped a lot because

38
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.280
you know, you look like me, You're kind of different. And I

39
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:44.159
ended up in radio and I was
I don't know, people considered a star.

40
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:49.759
I guess at one point in my
life I played basketball with Will Smith

41
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.039
and I smoked pot with Justin Timberlake. So I've done lots of crazy things

42
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:59.280
in my life, way before I
ever gotten the wrestling. But I ended

43
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.439
up in poor Land, in the
Rose City out here, and I was

44
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:08.439
doing a morning show and Portland Wrestling
was still on TV. So I contacted

45
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.919
them because why not, and it
said, hey, you want to do

46
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.960
a cross promotion. I'm a radio
DJ. I'm really good at talking and

47
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.360
stuff, and they said okay,
But then they had this whole idea about

48
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.800
if I was going to come in, you know you got you gotta take

49
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:27.199
full advantage of it. So they
said, hey, how about we're gonna

50
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.519
send you to We've got a ring
set up and you can learn you can

51
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.959
learn how to protect yourself in the
ring because we want to do a little

52
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.560
angle with you and a guy's gonna
beat you up and they'll put a snake

53
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.759
on. You're not afraid of snakes, are you? The course, I'm

54
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:44.199
not afraid of snakes, And and
so they sent me down in this man

55
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.839
named the grappler Lendenton, who is
a Pacific Northwest legend. He was there,

56
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.600
and there were just a couple other
wrestlers who don't even wrestle anymore,

57
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:56.120
name exile guy named Kane Mathers.
They're insignificant and don't even matter. But

58
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.839
but they were there, and for
two months, twice a week for two

59
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.360
months, I would go there and
Grappler would make me roll and make me

60
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.920
learn how to fall, and he
would make me run the ropes, and

61
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.839
they would give me hip tosses and
arm drags, and then they would put

62
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.560
me in the corner and they would
chop the living shit out of me.

63
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.480
And their number one goal, as
I found out, was how many marks

64
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.879
can we put on this radio?
DJ so that he will go back to

65
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:28.360
his show and talk about how real
pro wrestling is and see. What they

66
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.439
didn't expect is that I would keep
showing up for those two months because they

67
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:36.639
didn't realize I've been watching wrestling since
we lad not many friends. I was

68
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:42.759
very much I was before the Columbine
Times. But later on in life people

69
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.000
said to me, hey, remember
you in school. You wore a trench

70
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:50.319
coat and you had combat boots and
you could have been like Columbine. I

71
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:56.600
look at him like, yeah,
I really probably should have, but that's

72
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:01.800
bad ned. But anyway, I
went through that, and then I joined

73
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.800
into Portland Wrestling and my very first
show, and I'm getting to do ring

74
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:11.680
announcing, and I was I was
doing backstage interviews and starting to do color

75
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.000
commentary, and they did this whole
thing with the grappler and these other wrestlers

76
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.560
came out and like, as as
I was going through this search, I'm

77
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:24.120
a radio dd I'm not. I'm
not a wrestler, So they they want

78
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.040
to make reassure me, and they're
like, this guy is just getting he'll

79
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.439
he'll booch in the stomach and then
he's gonna give you a DDT he's gonna

80
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.240
put the snake kindy and stuff.
But I get to the show and this

81
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:36.199
guy, who is a total predator
and a horrible person, has been long

82
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:42.000
gone from the same thank God,
for at least fourteen fifteen years now,

83
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.800
and I'm glad. I'm never going
to give him the popularity of saying his

84
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:50.720
name out loud. But he decides
to let me know, Hey, I'm

85
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:56.439
not gonna DDT you. I don't
do a DDT. A DDT is bullshit

86
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:00.000
that some posts. Now, all
right, I do. I do a

87
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:06.360
double underhook pile driver. I'm just
a radio DJ. I'm i'm I'm a

88
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:10.079
big fan of pro wrestling. I
know what the said move is. And

89
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:14.399
I said, okay, well I've
never done that. Could we at least

90
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:15.319
try it and you can show me
what I need to do? It said,

91
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:17.439
oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
no problem. And at the time

92
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:20.839
before, I kind of ripped a
bunch of my hair out in the top

93
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.680
of my head. I used to
have long, flowing hair, so I

94
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.879
added a decent amount of hair and
he tells me how to hook, and

95
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.079
he picks me up and we go
through it a few times and it's all

96
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:35.319
good. My hair hits the map, but I'm fine, and then they

97
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:41.720
start rolling and we're doing the We
would tape four shows in one in one

98
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.319
day's taping was four TV shows for
it. The entire month was all done

99
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.720
in one day. And so here
comes my big angle. I'm in the

100
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:51.439
ring. He gets surrounded by all
these heels. This guy boots me,

101
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:56.040
picks me up, and stuffs me
right on the top of my head in

102
00:07:56.120 --> 00:08:01.040
the ring and he puts the snake
on me. And they're already planning on

103
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.519
doing the whole stretcher thing to sell
it. But in reality, I probably

104
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.680
should have needed a stretcher because as
they're they're carrying me out and I get

105
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:11.839
in the back and they walked me
into the locker room with the stretcher.

106
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.000
He walks up to me and he
smacks me on the cheek and goes,

107
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.360
how is your net? Kid?
And you know, not wanting to sell

108
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.160
it and not wanting to give in
to this because you know, I grew

109
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.240
up in Detroit. I've been beat
up a lot. I said a little

110
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.680
stiff, thank you very much,
and I shook his hand. And that

111
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.679
was the start of my wrestling career
about eighteen years ago. Because when I

112
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:41.000
started. I was told I didn't
deserve to be in this business. All

113
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:48.519
I was was goddamn radio DJ.
I didn't deserve my spot on TV because

114
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.879
I didn't go wrestle in front of
five people down at Sandy Bars flea market

115
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:58.639
every single Tuesday night. And so
while all those people like to spew that

116
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.039
nonsense, I continued on and a
guy named doctor Luther, who now works

117
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:09.320
for AW he saw a little bit
of talent in me, and Luther Luther,

118
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.559
he kind of took me under his
wing and he knew that you know,

119
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.240
at this point, I was thirty
years old. I was starting in

120
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.559
the wrestling industry at thirty years old, so like twenty nine and thirty.

121
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:26.360
So I'm not a spring chicken and
I'm a radio DJ. Yes, I

122
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.559
am about five to eleven. But
when I trained with Norman Smiley, he

123
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.559
told me, I always say six
foot. Now you're close enough. So

124
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:37.879
I'm six foot and on a good
day maybe one hundred and eighty seven pounds.

125
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.440
So Luther knew I was never gonna
have a body, but he knew

126
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.279
that I could be really entertaining.
So Luther started teaching me in my head

127
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:52.279
what to do and how to get
reactions and how to tell stories because I

128
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.200
was never going to be an athlete
like everyone else, so I learned how

129
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.679
to tell stories early on. And
then I went from Luther and I in

130
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.080
Portland wrestling fell up and they ended, and then I hooked up with playboy

131
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.440
Buddy Rose, who I am happy
to say I am the only student of

132
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:11.080
Playboy Buddy Rose to never give him
money. I worked a small angle with

133
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:15.399
him on a show where essentially his
back was really bad at the time,

134
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:18.720
and the idea was he was first
gonna post me, so I was gonna

135
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.960
bleed for the first time that night, and Playboy Buddy Rose was gonna be

136
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.240
the one to throw me into this
post. But Playboy said, my back

137
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.000
is too bad. I trying to
push you. It won't look good.

138
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.039
Blah blah blah. He's like,
what if you jump up on the apron

139
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.559
and I'll just I'll give you a
n tug on your feet and you can

140
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.159
come down. And I said,
you had no problem, And when Buddy

141
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.720
touched my foot, I literally went
completely horizontal and smacked into the floor and

142
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.480
I made it look like a million
dollars because you know, this is Playboy

143
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:50.600
Buddy Rose. And we got done
with the show, and he gave me

144
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.840
a big hug and said, thank
you for making me look so good.

145
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.600
And at that point he was just
in the process of reopening his school because

146
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.919
him and Colonel de Beer's had been
shut down for a little while. And

147
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.600
Buddy said, do not tell anyone, but from this point forward, if

148
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.480
anyone I ask you who trained you, you tell them Playboy Buddy Rose,

149
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.679
and you were going to come to
the school and you were not going to

150
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.600
pay for the school, but I
just want to pass on knowledge for you.

151
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.720
So then I trained with Playboy Buddy
Rose, and then and then I'm

152
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.840
wrestling in the scene, and in
this point I'm dealing with asshole promoters,

153
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:26.360
and I start this little company called
DA that is getting ready to do fifteen

154
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:33.159
year anniversary. This coming September will
be fifteen years for DA. And then

155
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.039
from DA, I end up going
to Florida down to FCW and I go

156
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.799
do their school and I get to
train with Norman Smiley, mister Big Wiggle,

157
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:45.639
mister Shooter in the real life mister
Black Magic, along with Mike Graham's

158
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.120
son of Eddie Graham, and I
got to do things like I wrestled in

159
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:54.879
front of the Undertaker, and I've
done lots of crazy things in my life.

160
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.799
So now like after eighteen years,
I really feel like I started peaking

161
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:05.080
about maybe fourteen years where I started
officially actually stay making a name for myself

162
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:11.720
because the Pacific Northwest longer was a
black hole, and I'd spent some time

163
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:15.480
down in Florida, and I'd hooked
up with some really cool people, people

164
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:22.840
like Page and the Night Family and
Chris Hero and Ricardo Rodriguez and Sue Young,

165
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.799
and these people became really good friends
of mine and then helped me later

166
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.279
on in my career and help me
now, like guys like Serpentaco and I

167
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.639
hook back up with Luther and like
all these guys they come in, they

168
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:41.000
do seminars. Because my whole goal
now in wrestling is just to build the

169
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.919
Pacific Northwest. I'm an old man, I'm never going to get signed,

170
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.879
but if I can build this Pacific
Northwest, so no people are dealing with

171
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.159
the predators, so people aren't dealing
with the bullshit promoters of you. You've

172
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.960
got two places to work in this
entire area, and we're gonna tell you

173
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:03.440
your only all you're allowed to work
one and all the bullshit that I dealt

174
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.559
with eighteen years ago. I'm helping
to make sure that the theory isn't like

175
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.240
that anymore. So, Yeah,
I'm middle aged and crazy, and it's

176
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:15.480
just like Terry Funk says, because
I think you take enough headshot, she

177
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:20.399
has become that way. But yeah, that is the story of Drexel As.

178
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:26.519
I just sorry, I start to
ramble. That's all right, hey,

179
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.559
you know, but you know,
some quick quick fires out of some

180
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:31.159
quick fires out of there, you
know, just from the get go.

181
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:37.360
Uh, you know, congratulations on
the longevity of the OA, like like

182
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.480
congratulations for that, right the best
that we've ever been. Right now,

183
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:46.759
we're averaging about three hundred and fifty
to four hundred people per show. And

184
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.600
I'm not spending a big budget flying
in all these names and stuff. We

185
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.720
might have one flying per show.
I am basing an entire show around Pacific

186
00:13:54.799 --> 00:14:01.399
Northwest. I'm basing an entire show
around story driven and character driven wrestling,

187
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:03.960
and it seems to be working because
the fans keep coming back. Yeah,

188
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:09.360
that's amazing, man, Thank you. I also do uh you know,

189
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.200
forgive me if I'm wrong, go
correct me. If I'm wrong. But

190
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.679
uh, you know there is somebody
that's you know, in DA way there

191
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:20.200
with you that has been explained to
me as your prodigy. And uh,

192
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.720
you know this, this girl is
in my mind like she's the strongest woman.

193
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.720
Uh, she is one of the
best female And you know, I

194
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.639
don't know me and me and to
me and talk about this all the time.

195
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.759
I don't It doesn't matter female to
male. That don't matter to me.

196
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:41.440
She is one of the best independent
professional wrestlers I have seen. I've

197
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.799
got to see her inside and outside. I've seen her working shows at the

198
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:46.399
front door and all that. But
you know, KEI tell us a little

199
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:52.240
bit about a mirror. A mirror
is so the way I look at it

200
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:58.200
because early on they tried to mentor
people and I learned really quick that like

201
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.240
you can you can drag a horse
to water, but you can't make them

202
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:07.159
drink. And so I tend not
to waste my time with I mean,

203
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.799
I will help anyone that's putting in
any effort, and that includes That's why

204
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.759
the DA shows end up having ten
eleven matches and things like that, for

205
00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:18.320
the fact that I am trying to
find spots for all these people. So

206
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:22.240
that they can get better and get
up to that prestige, that defied level,

207
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.799
get on that level to start flying
around and getting out of the Pacific

208
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:31.399
Northwest because people are so shortsighted they
don't realize that if our talent gets out

209
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.720
there, it helps bring more eyes
back on us and it also makes our

210
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.639
company look better. And so that's
my whole goal with the OA and building

211
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.279
these people up. And so over
the years, you know, there's certain

212
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.080
people that I've kind of taken a
fancy too as far as trying to help.

213
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.720
And it can go back as far
as like Sonico. Prestige essentially married

214
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:56.200
me and Sonico together at the start
of Prestige about six years ago, and

215
00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:00.320
me and Sonico worked about a year
and a half feud. His very first

216
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.559
hardcore match ever was against me,
and he was very nervous about that and

217
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.799
it was a fault. It was
false count anywhere, and I remember him

218
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:08.720
like, well, what are we
gonna do? And I said, we

219
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.039
got this, we got this,
we got this, and he's like,

220
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.879
yeah, but what about all the
like you just mentioned like seven things.

221
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.799
We've got an entire like twenty something
minute match to plan And said, kid,

222
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:25.399
we're gonna work, and I helped
start teaching him from being someone that

223
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:27.879
was in the back just calling out
an entire match to learning how to work

224
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:32.000
in the ring. And now like, you can't book that kid without him

225
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:34.279
going, hey, can I make
this hardcore? Because he found the love

226
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:37.360
in it like and from me,
And then you can go from him to

227
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:42.759
a Jaden and Jaden and his whole
development as a superhero is very much you

228
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:47.840
ask him, and it's very much
tied directly to me and helping him develop

229
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:52.919
this character of not just stealing stealing
a hurricane helms, but being able to

230
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.639
take bits and pieces from random cartoons
and anime. And you can go from

231
00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:02.279
Jaden to get Banded. I wrestled
kid Bandit months two of her career,

232
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:06.079
and the first time I worked her
was down in Vegas and it was for

233
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:11.960
Super Beast and for Dark Arts and
Bandit. I was told specifically teach them

234
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:17.079
how to work because the first show
they did the in month one, I

235
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:21.359
believe they jumped off like a balcony
area and knocked themselves or knocked their opponent

236
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:25.200
out in stuff. So I went
in there with Bandit and and like,

237
00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:30.519
I had never seen someone so unique
with their movement being able to incorporate the

238
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.720
the kung fu at oh sorry,
I just pulling stuff down. I get

239
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:40.279
into my stories, but they so
like unique in the kung fu and then

240
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:45.880
also um with their character. But
they start calling stuff like I'm gonna do

241
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.039
this into this, into this and
this and the and it was really amazing,

242
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:52.359
and I just kind of stared blankly
at them and I said, that's

243
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.480
really cool. I've been doing this
a long time. And you lost me

244
00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.880
about halfway through that, Like,
if I can't even picture it, how

245
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.000
are the fans gonna picture? And
so let's take that that all that cool

246
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.480
stuff you can do, and let's
break that up into three different sections.

247
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.039
And we're gonna give pauses in here. Why because the fans can only digest

248
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.519
so much, and so you've got
the beginning that they remember and then they

249
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:18.880
see the end. And do you
want that whole big middle section of cool

250
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:25.279
stuff that you've done just to become
blah blah blah blah movement movement movement or

251
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:27.480
do you want to get the most
out of it so that they're gonna cheer

252
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:30.920
and they're gonna pop and they're gonna
react the way and so I started working

253
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.640
with Bandit on that, and at
that point Bandit had told me that the

254
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.880
southern the so Cal area of California, we're like, no, this anime

255
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:42.359
stuff, don't do that. That's
stupid, that's killing wrestling. And I

256
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.640
said, no, no, no, that's what you are. That is

257
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:52.000
what you're going to embrace. You
embrace your flaws, you embrace your geekiness,

258
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.240
you embrace your love for that culture, and then incorporated in a different

259
00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.960
way like don't go steal from other
wrestlers. I hate that. Don't go

260
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:06.160
to steal from another wrestler. There
are so many sources of creative influence out

261
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:10.400
there, from books, movies,
TV, music, all across the board.

262
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:14.759
Whatever you look around, you can
find inspiration in the world. And

263
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.799
I tell people to go look for
that. Don't go steal from another wrestler,

264
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:19.559
because when you steal from these outside
things, everyone's like, oh my

265
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:23.359
god, you're so original. Oh
hell no. Something Luther told me a

266
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.799
long time ago is there is nothing
original in wrestling. You take something,

267
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:32.480
you make it your own. And
so that's what I teach these kids.

268
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:37.319
Now onto your question of Amira Amiro
was trained here in Portland at the Oregon

269
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:44.119
Pro Wrestling School. That's Ricky Gibson
of Midnight. He that Ricky Gibson and

270
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:48.440
Eddie Pearl she would consider her fathers. They're the ones that raised her up

271
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:49.839
from a little one. They're the
ones that taught her out of work and

272
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:53.759
stuff in the ring. But I
saw someone with a lot of drives that

273
00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:57.160
I met first as a fan.
I think her first show was the first

274
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:00.720
Prestige Roseland show, and so I
was probably one of the first wrestlers she

275
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.640
met. And at one point she
said I was her favorite wrestler, which

276
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.640
is really cool because I'm just this
old weirdo that doesn't really wrestle. I

277
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.759
just go out there and they make
moments. See. But I saw her

278
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:17.680
hard work, and I saw someone
with a natural ability the same way that

279
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.240
I saw in Jade, in the
same way especially that I saw in Kid

280
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:25.400
Bandit. And so I told promoters
about her. I helped her get out

281
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.079
there, and essentially I said,
jump in my car, kid, and

282
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:32.680
if you like I'm busy every single
weekend, if you want to get booked

283
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:36.200
on these shows, feel free to
jump in the car and make these connections.

284
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.400
So I'm doing that with her I'm
also doing that currently with the Flaming

285
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:42.359
Aces because I see something in Zay
and Spencer. Both of those kids are

286
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:48.319
just killing it right now. The
Hammer Brothers. Hammer Brothers are phenomenal for

287
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:49.839
as young of a team as they
are, Like Jack's got a little bit

288
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:53.839
more experience in wrestling with a different
a different version of himself, but Jack

289
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:59.519
and sledge Hammer are killing it here, and I mean it literally, it

290
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:06.240
fires me to help all these kids
now because like Oregon Pro Wrestling School,

291
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:11.440
it's just phenomenal the kids that are
coming out. So yes, Amira her

292
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:14.440
gimmick, the strong woman gimmick.
It's not a gimmick, that's her.

293
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:18.359
And I try to tell people like, don't tell me, like if you

294
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:21.440
got a chiche body, don't tell
me what a great athlete you are,

295
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:27.039
because everyone's gonna they know it's boldish. And so Amira is a physical fitness

296
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:33.039
instructor. She's a queen of Zoomba. She calls herself squirrel Girl. That's

297
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:37.079
what she met. She's like nah, and she doesn't stop it. She's

298
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.920
like pure caffeine. And so you
know she's got that. And now I'm

299
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:47.319
helping to mold to get that character
and get the emotional connection which she already

300
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:48.960
has this natural ability. I'm just
helping to bring it out, and I

301
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:52.119
want to help her with her promos
and things like that. But yeah,

302
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.759
I've taken her under my wing as
yet another little protege to help, you

303
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:02.319
know, just bring a lie and
and try to give this this nice mixture

304
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.880
of like, I don't know,
it took me a long time to get

305
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:07.799
to the point where I'm at.
And if I can save a whole lot

306
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:12.000
of years and a whole lot of
injuries to people's necks and things like that

307
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:17.079
that I've dealt with, that I'm
gonna do it. Because nothing would make

308
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:19.640
me more proud is to see these
kids get signed and make a whole lot

309
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:23.440
of money. And if they're at
one day someone's like I want to thank

310
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.039
Drexel for what they did for my
career, then I feel like I made

311
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:30.319
Like that that's about the best I
could I could do. But for a

312
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:33.359
guy that started at the age of
thirty, that was never an athlete,

313
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:37.680
I was a radio DJ. I
had a gut from eating things like chili,

314
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.039
cheese, dogs and shit at four
in the morning, because that's what

315
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.680
you're doing. Radio Yeah, whoever
you're getting free food from, that's what

316
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:48.880
we're eating today. So but yeah, I know that as far as Amia,

317
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:53.119
she's got a bright future and I
honestly, if she's still around here

318
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.880
in a year, I'll be surprised. I'm pretty sure one of the big

319
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.319
companies will end up picking her up. So that's that's, that's what I've

320
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:03.440
been saying to h you know,
Uh, it was awesome, But everybody

321
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:08.279
else you've named there, you know, uh uh kid bandit is what is

322
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:12.880
really Uh watch a kid bandit and
your match like that? Really? Uh

323
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:18.119
that's that that that opened my eyes
to thank her for that. That was

324
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.680
the most viral thing I've ever done
in wrestling was the Indiana Jones spot that

325
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:26.119
I said, Hey, have you
seen Indiana Jones? And she said,

326
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:30.119
I've seen a few of them.
I said, I think it's the first

327
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:32.640
one. And there's this person.
They got swords and they're doing all this

328
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:36.200
cool and then Indian just pulls his
gun and shoot. So we're gonna do

329
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:38.839
that but with a chair and you're
you're gonna do your kendo sticks off And

330
00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:41.920
they said okay. I said,
but do you trust me? And they

331
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:45.480
said yes. So of course they
said, you really trust me, and

332
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.119
they said yes. I said,
then, I I know head traumat CT

333
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:53.519
it's bad, but there's an old
school way of wrestling, like I learned

334
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:57.000
from Luther a long time ago that
when you hit someone with a chair and

335
00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:00.799
they had, there are certain ways
of doing it that's good and reduce the

336
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.240
impact your head and things. And
I said, I need to just tilt

337
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:07.039
your head like that, do not
move, and give me the perfect target

338
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:11.319
and I will land that chair on
your head. I and I did,

339
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:14.279
and it worked really good. And
we ended up with like over a million

340
00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:17.119
views for that, and it's the
most viral thing I ever did. And

341
00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:19.400
what comes out of that is a
whole lot of people on the Internet telling

342
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:23.599
me that I'm Credos and God of
War and I've never even played the goddamn

343
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.079
game. Like I admit, I
steal from lots of but that's not what

344
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:30.880
I've stolen from. So I just
I just want that to make that public

345
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:34.319
because I don't think I've ever actually
got a chance to talk about I have

346
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:38.920
nothing to do with Credos or God
of War. I even play the video

347
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:47.000
game. So yeah, screw you
internet troll people. I'm pretty sure that

348
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:49.440
I'm pretty sure you've been around a
lot longer than God of War, so

349
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:53.599
we can we can definitely get well. I mean, this incarnation with the

350
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:57.880
red and stuff has maybe been about
the last decade or so. A long

351
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:02.240
time ago. I was just this
punk kid with the mohawk. I once

352
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:04.599
a team with Jesse Neil for a
short time. That was in TNA,

353
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:11.519
Me, Jesse Neil and Christina von
Eric. We're known as the Bastards down

354
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:14.480
in Florida. So I had to
do some cool stuff like that with my

355
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:18.960
mohawks self. But I wasn't nearly
as fun to be around as this version

356
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:25.720
of Drexel Man Man when you know, you know, that's that's just wow,

357
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:29.839
wow, it's a lots of touch, Jess. You know you've done

358
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.039
some things. You've done some things
for sure. And in my life,

359
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:37.920
like I remember being a child and
my whole goal was don't grow up,

360
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:42.279
like don't have a job, like
whatever it takes to not have a real

361
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:47.799
job. I come from a very
blue collar family and like most of my

362
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:52.960
family worked assembly line bullshit where they
did they're they're nine to five, and

363
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.720
then you got to add on a
couple hours of overtime. Uh, it's

364
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.960
certain seasons and all that shit,
and they they want me to become an

365
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:06.279
engineer, and I said, that's
not really me. Numbers and things and

366
00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:11.200
calculations and being told what to do
just really didn't fit me at all.

367
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:15.200
So I ended up in radio because
I thought, of all the entertainment,

368
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:22.119
maybe radio at that point was the
best option. But I don't know.

369
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:26.000
So I kind of I feel like
I have that that blue collar work ethic,

370
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:29.440
but at the same time, I
am truly an artist at heart,

371
00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:33.079
and if I have to work hard
to avoid real work, I'm going to

372
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:37.759
do it. Yeah. That's our
new motto to mean, let's work hard

373
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:45.720
to not do real work. Plug
yeah, plug. Well you know what

374
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:49.559
match in particular because man me and
to me and have been we've been waiting

375
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:53.640
to ask about this because we were
at what was it was it was it

376
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:57.200
Waked the Dead, Yeah, Wakes
the Dead and pressy Doe and I haven't

377
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:02.680
said this yet, um, big
from from me personally. One of the

378
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:06.839
biggest reasons, uh, that we've
been really wanted to showcase and put a

379
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:11.480
spotlight on the independent scene and the
independent promotions is because of none other than

380
00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:17.640
Prestige Wrestling. I feel like I'm
part of the family. I want to

381
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:21.160
get William on my show eventually.
It's it's like a bucket list item of

382
00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:25.839
mind. Uh, William likes to
talk. I hope, so, I

383
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:30.920
hope. So big shots Prestige for
getting the Globe in California as a new

384
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:34.680
home in California. But me and
the me area upset that I'm not on

385
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:38.839
that show. You can't like this
is two Callie show was in a row

386
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:44.440
where you themed it after Black Flag
and then you theme it after Rob's ibby,

387
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.240
And how am I not on the
show? Like, I just don't

388
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:53.960
understand that. I will say this
when we got to the Globe. I

389
00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:57.400
will say this because, uh,
not a lot of people people know.

390
00:27:57.480 --> 00:28:00.680
But you know I went down to
wrestle Many a weekend. Yeah yeah yeah,

391
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:06.000
but uh you know you linked me
up into the show. Uh,

392
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:10.759
and it was my first time a
show in a parking lot with like twenty

393
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:14.359
people. It was never Circle six. It was the live stream where Circle

394
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:18.599
six was just running different shows every
single hour that were themed out or in

395
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.079
corporation with another company. It was. It was a really fun thing that

396
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.480
just kept going and rolling for like
three days straight. So right right,

397
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.720
you know, we get down there
and we see that, and uh,

398
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:33.359
you know, there's some there's some, there's I got introduced to a whole

399
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.599
new I talked to me and to
mean about the iguana. Man. Okay,

400
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:42.519
like I saw some weird shit.
Okay, But after that we went

401
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:47.279
to the Globe, and I gotta
agree with you, you know, like

402
00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:52.720
we put everything in fire or trash
or lunchbowl terms. And William I gotta

403
00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:56.960
say this, Prestige Wrestling, I
gotta say this, where was Drexel?

404
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:03.640
I saw everybody else that show at
Prestige. I saw everybody at Prestige,

405
00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:08.039
at the Underground, No holds Barred, no Ring, murder Mania, I

406
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:12.400
went to too, but where was
Where was Drexel. I'm just saying,

407
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:18.720
I mean, you should show people
want to be Internet drolls. I'm perfectly

408
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:23.480
fine with you trolling Williams saying that
Drexel needs to be on every single Prestige

409
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:27.680
show because well even the very first
show, even I was already booked,

410
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:30.720
so I couldn't do it. But
I sent my valet at the time,

411
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:34.640
Carolina Gore down with a shirt.
She kind of sticks Sonicco in the head

412
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:38.119
and then put my shirt. So
even though I wasn't physically at the first

413
00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:42.599
Prestige show, my face was.
And that was the introduction to head into

414
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:48.039
this feud with me and Sonicco early
on in Prestige. But yes, I

415
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.039
feel like I should be on every
still every single Prestige show too. And

416
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:56.680
William tells me he just needs he
doesn't want to give me bullshit because after

417
00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:00.519
things like Dave Jerre and he says, you know, I I'm a special

418
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:04.240
attraction and I understand that, but
I feel like I could be a special

419
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:08.359
attraction doing whatever. So all right, yeah, tell people you want to

420
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:11.799
see me on all the Prestige shows
because I want to be there personally.

421
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:17.640
We will, we will as one. But speaking of the Danger Aaron show,

422
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:19.880
uh you know, I mean,
I mean, you go ahead and

423
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:23.559
take this one, Like what do
you want to ask about about that?

424
00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:33.000
That that that incredible, insane,
stupid, unbelievable trampoline y'all had I'll let

425
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:36.519
you take this, well, I'll
let you take the barb War trampoline,

426
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:41.240
like like Kanye Twitty was saying,
Man, I agree, let's troll William

427
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:45.960
because uh, you should be honest, you you made that show worth going

428
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:49.440
to just for that match alone.
Um. Yeah, No, it's the

429
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:53.240
spot, the spots that you do
and the the harm you put your body

430
00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:57.000
through just for you know, us
fans, and what you do is is

431
00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:00.680
amazing man. So out out to
you, and yeah, let's let's thank

432
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:07.880
you so much. Let's let's get
you on every prestige show, every prestige

433
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:11.160
wrestling more states. And I know
they're gonna keep popping up in more states

434
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:14.319
and if he's not booking me and
then I can't cross those states off the

435
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:19.279
less. So well, you know, speaking of you know, let's do

436
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:23.319
some crazy stuff you've done. I
got a couple of random questions, all

437
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:30.400
right, So, so what's the
craziest bump you've ever taken? And what's

438
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:38.759
the craziest bump you've given to somebody
else? So do you want like crazy

439
00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:44.440
bump that ends badly or do you
want crazy bump it because it's like a

440
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:48.480
spectacle and is what it's supposed to
be. I'll give you two, all

441
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:55.200
right, Year one of DAS So
this is approximately about fifteen years ago.

442
00:31:55.680 --> 00:32:00.000
I agree to do a flaming table
spot where I am going to get super

443
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:04.079
bombed off the top through a table
that's set on fire. The guy that's

444
00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:08.359
doing this with me has reassured me
that he's done this spot before up in

445
00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:10.799
Canada, and I say okay,
and it goes, no, you don't

446
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:14.839
want to get lighter fluid. You
want to get charcoal fluid. And I,

447
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:17.880
oh, so that's what they go
buy, is charcoal fluid. See,

448
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:22.680
what I don't realize is that when
you pour a table with charcoal fluid,

449
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:24.000
you go to light, it won't
light. So you pour some more

450
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:27.920
charcoal fluid and you go to light
and it won't light. And then you've

451
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:32.160
covered the entire table with an entire
bottle of charcoal fluid. And then you

452
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:38.720
light and you get this tiny little
flame that it's horrible. It's like it's

453
00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:44.680
like negative ten degrees and your balls
are shrunk up in that kind of small

454
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:47.279
it is what we're talking about.
It's a little, tiny flame, and

455
00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:51.319
you're like, okay, we just
gotta go. And the guy goes and

456
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:55.279
gives you this big superpower bomb off
the top and at that point all the

457
00:32:55.279 --> 00:33:00.960
fluids go to the center and there's
a big fucking explosion and like a fireball

458
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:05.359
shoots up in the air, and
the entire ring catches on fire and ends

459
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:12.680
up burning through the padding and the
canvas and scorches the wood underneath. Luckily,

460
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:16.400
the guy that was getting thrown through
there smelled burning as soon as I

461
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:21.359
hit it, and I shot out
of that ring onto the cold cement floor

462
00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:24.319
and I ended up with three,
probably about second degree burns about that big

463
00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:29.960
on my back. So originally,
at one point I really considered fire bad

464
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:34.440
because there's other incidents where fire was
bad at DA and stuff. But then

465
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:37.240
on the opposite end of the thing, during COVID, I went out to

466
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:42.599
do No Piece Underground and it was
the Jamie Sengall Show. It was an

467
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:45.720
entire show that Jamie herself, she
got to book and stuff, and Jamie

468
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:50.400
wanted me to be in the main
event. So it was myself versus Zicki

469
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:54.279
Dice versus Colby Carino. And I'd
seen them do this spot I forget with

470
00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:59.160
whom, but they had done a
flaming sheet of glass before, and I

471
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:02.079
said, that's pretty cool. It
looks pretty good like you're hitting the glass

472
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:07.480
fire go out, probably probably not
going to set yourself on fire, probably

473
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:12.760
not. And so I had told
Sue Young, Hey, I will totally

474
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:15.280
do something like that. If she's
gonna put me in the main event,

475
00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:17.760
I'm gonna make sure and make a
spectacle for that finish of that match.

476
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:22.639
And so I show up in the
Orlando desk squad. Who are the guys

477
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:24.840
that build all the weapons and stuff
down there for No Piece of Underground.

478
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:28.880
They're like, oh no, we
don't got one sheet of glass. Check

479
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:34.800
this out, and they have like
this this like Baker's rack thing in sliding

480
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:38.719
into it are two sheets of glass
and then on the bottom is a door.

481
00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:43.239
And they said, we're gonna wheel
this whole thing out and we're gonna

482
00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:45.119
put the light of fluid on the
top of all the glass and we're gonna

483
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:51.599
light all that up. I said, okay, And so No Piece is

484
00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:54.199
a company that doesn't have a ring. So what we did is we set

485
00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:59.239
this whole instrocity up on the floor
and then I'm up on the stage and

486
00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:02.079
I tried to throw Zicky Dice off
the stage, but Zicky turned it around,

487
00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:07.000
picked me up and just hucked my
asspower by me through it and I

488
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:10.519
bounced off the floor and it was
really really cool, and it was a

489
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:17.519
spectacle and I walked away relatively unharmed
because I didn't have big burns all over

490
00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:22.679
my body that I had to keep
putting save on for weeks and stuff.

491
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:25.079
And I didn't end up in a
hospital. So when I don't end up

492
00:35:25.079 --> 00:35:30.039
in a hospital and people said,
oh my god, that's cool, then

493
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:35.079
it was definitely a success. So
that's probably the craziest bump I've done.

494
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:42.519
I'm I don't know, I people
what crazy bumps that I've given to people.

495
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:46.199
I mean, I've driven people head
first through things several times. Usually

496
00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:52.119
I've recently I have taken to giving
pile drivers on pointy sharp things. I

497
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:57.039
do that a lot. That's probably
not one of the smartest things, but

498
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:00.360
at my point in my career,
especially in the Pacific Northwest, I really

499
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:06.719
am one of the only specialists in
hardcore and I'm definitely the only ongoing deathmatch

500
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:09.920
guy based on the Pacific Northwest,
so I kind of find that a majority

501
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:15.079
of my matches the guys don't have
as much experience, so I'm the one

502
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:19.079
holding hands and trying to up their
game and get them to do the more

503
00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:22.639
and more crazy things. Like for
me personally, when I watch a Nick

504
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:25.599
Wayne match, the shit he does
with his flip and the height that he

505
00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:31.039
gets. That feels way more dangerous
than like me rolling around in some thumbtacks

506
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:36.360
and like and shoving them in my
own head to head butt someone like that

507
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:40.400
almost sounds like just normal compared to
like the cool athletic shit that these other

508
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:44.960
people do. So well, you
know, you know, let speak of

509
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:49.480
taxi. Noah, you gave me
a tack out of your very own head.

510
00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:53.360
You know. I like to give
really personal souvenirs. You got some

511
00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:57.679
of my DNA, and I don't
know if I think I was in the

512
00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:00.559
rings. So I always try to
tell people because normally I'll wait until I

513
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:04.920
get to merchandise table and then I
start pulling things that are stuck in my

514
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:07.400
body and I handed up to people
that are coming up asking for autographs.

515
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:12.800
But I always got to tell them
my DNA's on there. But don't clone

516
00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:17.960
me. You end up a little
Drexel clone. You're gonna have to create

517
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:22.960
train it and it's really it's gonna
have a temperament issue, and you just

518
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:25.280
don't want to have to deal with
that. So I just make sure anyone

519
00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:29.760
that gets anything that comes out of
my body and my DNA is all over

520
00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:34.800
it to please just don't clone me
because I didn't reproduce and I don't think

521
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:40.519
you should reproduce me either. I
have a feeling to mean that, uh

522
00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:51.800
that he still is create trained.
I'm a good boy. Well well you

523
00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:54.280
know, uh you know that so
much pull away, you know. I

524
00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:59.000
gotta be honest with you. You
know, Uh, you are the mad

525
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:04.199
the main razy mofo you know deathmatch
person I've seen in the Northwest, you

526
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:06.960
know. I mean I've seen some
matches that people have done, you know,

527
00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:10.079
uh, like I haven't gotten to
see both you a funny bone at

528
00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:14.280
the same time. Um, you
know, he's one that I've heard of,

529
00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:17.760
you know, but you definitely take
the cake in my mind of as

530
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:22.599
one of the craziest sons of bitches
I have ever seen in the ring in

531
00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:29.079
my life. I appreciate it.
I'm really I'm so inspired by the old

532
00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:34.960
school style of hardcore, the FMW
or the the old mcfoley Terry Funk.

533
00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:38.199
I mean, essentially, this version
of Druxel started as just a ripoff of

534
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:45.280
Doctor Luther from FMW from his mid
nineties early mid nineties running FMW, where

535
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:49.480
I started out in a white jumpsuit
with blood splatter all over it and came

536
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:52.679
out just chucking chairs in the ring
because that's what I saw Luther do on

537
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:57.760
FMW and like and at that point
when this monster version of myself came out,

538
00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:00.239
it was a point where all the
indie wrestlers they wanted to be wrestlers.

539
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:04.159
They had to have their little tights, and they had to have their

540
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:06.920
kick pads, and they had to
be able to do oh, their their

541
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:08.679
inter get taining and stuff. And
I said, I'm gonna go the opposite

542
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:12.719
way. No one's a monster,
no one's doing that. And now it's

543
00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:16.320
crazy because there's so many monsters everywhere. So I don't know, I feel

544
00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:20.920
kind of trend setting, like I
was bringing back the old because no one

545
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:23.480
was stealing from the eighties. Everyone
wanted to steal from all the cool indies

546
00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:28.239
and the two thousands and stuff,
and I'm like, give me a missing

547
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:31.239
link and that's gonna make me happy. And so that's kind of where Drexel

548
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:36.960
developed from that. Yeah, I
feel like you definitely helped pave the way.

549
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:44.400
Hid Kitty, I love animals,
Hi Kitty. Yeah, this is

550
00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:47.119
Bill makes an appearance on a lot
of the shows, you know, knocking

551
00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:52.199
things over. You know, I
closed my door so Sin didn't come in

552
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:57.039
here because he'll start barking and he
gets he gets mad at Drexel. Drexel

553
00:39:57.119 --> 00:40:00.679
gets too loud for the puppy and
he gets very up sut by it.

554
00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:02.880
So everyone's like, why don't you
bring your dog to wrestling? And I

555
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:08.079
was like it'd probably just end badly. And he's there in cartoon form at

556
00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:13.960
my merchandise table and that's good or
no, as you know, well,

557
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:16.960
hey, you know what do you
have because I mean this episode, this

558
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:22.159
this is gonna air here on Wednesday, so you know, if you got

559
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:23.800
something coming up, you know,
I want people to know, you know,

560
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:25.920
I mean you could tell him with
I mean maybe you want to give

561
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:29.559
him your home address or your Twitter
or well, I don't know how you

562
00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:31.559
do it. You know, if
you gave me a home address, I'm

563
00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:36.400
not coming. I'm telling you that
right now. They can find me on

564
00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:39.760
social media pretty much. Just look
up the Devil Drugs well d R e

565
00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:45.880
x L and I Devil Drugs.
Will you find me on most social media

566
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:49.960
platforms that way, And then like
as far as shows this coming weekend,

567
00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:53.199
I got Vancouver Island pro so I
gotta take a boat to a show where

568
00:40:53.239 --> 00:40:55.519
I got to drive up into Washington, and then I got to get a

569
00:40:55.559 --> 00:41:00.639
ferry to go to Vancouver Island and
I got two shows up there. And

570
00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:05.280
then the week after that is the
next Prestige roseland where it's me and Effie,

571
00:41:05.719 --> 00:41:09.519
me versus Daddy. I have a
play date with Daddy, and I

572
00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:15.360
believe we're gonna do some really left
up ship to each other. Did you

573
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:24.599
did you see man Swarner and Effie
and they stapled their tongues together. Yeah,

574
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:29.360
but I got a date with Daddy. I got a date with Daddy,

575
00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:37.280
and that's color out. That's gonna
be really fun. Huh. Yeah,

576
00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:43.119
you've been trying to kiss me ever
since we met. I just got

577
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:46.159
the paper cut. Eli ever flies
tongue. He's got that really cool tongue.

578
00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:50.280
That's like, oh, and I
got the paper cut it that was

579
00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:53.280
really fun. It's it's the little
things that entertain me. Last night,

580
00:41:53.719 --> 00:41:58.199
a kid from Canada, Judas Icarus. He's part of a tag team called

581
00:41:58.239 --> 00:42:00.280
Satan Sinners. They're really good.
They're from you up there, and and

582
00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:06.199
he wrestles barefoot and I got to
paper cut his toes, and I love

583
00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:09.079
I've only got to paper cut like
three different people's toes. One of them

584
00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:14.840
was Jacob fat two. And every
time now that I see Jacob fat Tow's

585
00:42:14.920 --> 00:42:20.079
family and they say see me,
they're like, oose you you paper cut

586
00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:23.440
at oos his toes that was and
I say yeah, and I'm like,

587
00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:30.679
I'm glad you remember I did my
job. But those are alchemic da.

588
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:35.440
We got some shows coming up in
Portland on not single to my day after

589
00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:38.400
May six, and then on May
seventh, there'll be some really good stuff

590
00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:43.920
going on there. And then I
I just my normal spots, my normal

591
00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:46.719
haunts, and I'm sure some other
cool stuff will be coming up. I

592
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:52.039
life is kind of a blur.
I feel like I wrestle every single weekend.

593
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:55.599
So if you check my social media's
you'll see where all my upcoming appearances

594
00:42:55.599 --> 00:43:00.199
are, because that's pretty much what
you find on my social media. You'll

595
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:04.360
find some pictures of my dog,
and then you'll see where I'm wrestling and

596
00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:07.760
maybe me spouting off about something.
But yeah, I don't give out my

597
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:13.679
home address, and yeah it's probably
just added badly or people wanted to take

598
00:43:13.719 --> 00:43:15.599
my toys. I got my toys
all over and stuff, and I don't

599
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:20.719
want them take them. I'm not
asking. I'm not gonna. I'm not

600
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:23.280
even gonna ask next time. You
know we're gonna this is something like I

601
00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:28.360
said, you know, you are
the first interview we have gotten to have,

602
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:34.039
uh you know, from the actual
industry on the WTFW podcast. And

603
00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:36.239
by the way, I think that
should be a type of match. You

604
00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:39.679
could take that with da. I
think there should be a w TFW match

605
00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:45.280
where everything you do or everything you
think of has to be something that ain't

606
00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:50.119
nobody else done. It's the whole
point of the matches to get people say

607
00:43:50.159 --> 00:43:52.920
what speaking of that, I want
to do something that doesn't get done here,

608
00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:59.079
and no promoters will let me have
a Piranha tank death match. I

609
00:43:59.159 --> 00:44:01.840
want one in there all like no
Peter, and people will be offended.

610
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:07.960
And in what I said is that
that we're feeding piranha fresh blood. I

611
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:13.559
promise I'm not gonna crush a Piranha. I just want to take someone's body

612
00:44:13.719 --> 00:44:16.599
or even my own body and bleed
all over and get shoved in that parana

613
00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:21.480
tank. And and they're starting nibbling
and it's like fresh meat for them.

614
00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:25.239
We're not harming the Piranha. So
I want to start a petition to allow

615
00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:31.800
me and like a promotion to do
a Piranha tank deathmatch out here in America

616
00:44:31.880 --> 00:44:37.480
before I retire, because that just
be really fun. I look, actually,

617
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:42.079
I am a list here. It
is things I want to fight or

618
00:44:42.159 --> 00:44:45.920
be fighting around. And there's a
bunch of crazy stuff on there. But

619
00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:50.320
number two, there's Piranhas. I
mean there's also bears and robots and mutants

620
00:44:50.320 --> 00:44:55.920
and zombies and and Klingons and Justin
Bieber fuck him and Godzilla and and the

621
00:44:57.079 --> 00:45:01.280
Sawyer family in Santa and the ship
my monster. Yeah I would totally fight

622
00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:06.239
a ship monster from Dogma. But
yeah, it's a whole list of things

623
00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:13.199
I want to fight. You Wow, were we talking about? I don't

624
00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:17.119
know, I don't know, I
don't know. Well you know, uh,

625
00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:21.880
here's here's the thing. We got
something new for everybody comes on the

626
00:45:21.880 --> 00:45:24.639
show. Like I explained to you
off air, you know everything about wtfw

627
00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:29.119
uh oh one more time. You

630
00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:42.119
uh what, Since you're our first
interview, we wanted to make sure we

631
00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:45.599
do this from now on. The
Meanings gonna have a list of five things

632
00:45:45.639 --> 00:45:47.679
for you. And it's a simple
answer. One it's one or the other.

633
00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:52.159
It's the fire or track. Have
you ever had a porkypine quill shoved

634
00:45:52.239 --> 00:46:05.159
in your head? No? No
I haven't. Oh sorry, mean to

635
00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:07.039
mean, mean to mean, Go
ahead and take this one. You know

636
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:12.800
you got your list? Yeah,
yeah, all right. So so all

637
00:46:12.800 --> 00:46:15.000
we want to know is if you
think it's fire or trash, here you

638
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:21.480
go ahead, fire, trash or
a lunchable. Let's let's just start off

639
00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:24.400
real quick about this podcast. What
you know, let's go let's start with

640
00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:29.719
that. I'm gonna say fire.
I had fun. I had fun spouting

641
00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:32.519
off my ruttoric and you guys just
let me ramble. So that's always fun

642
00:46:32.519 --> 00:46:37.239
when I like talking about myself because
I am an artist. You know,

643
00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:42.039
I do have a little minute ago. I do vanity checked myself on Google

644
00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:52.679
occasionally. Fire. That's all right. Um, the UFC used to be

645
00:46:52.840 --> 00:46:58.559
fire, now lunchable. I really
was a fan of the UFC before,

646
00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:01.440
but now they've just made. It's
so difficult. You have to buy so

647
00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:05.519
many different things to be able to
see what the hell is going on.

648
00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:10.119
And like they've become too greedy for
a company where they want us to pay

649
00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:14.840
all this shit. But then I
hear the fire fighters talking about like I

650
00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:17.639
ain't getting paid dick. So you
know, I believe UFC at one time

651
00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:22.159
was fire I've gone to live shows. The very first show they did in

652
00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:25.320
Detroit, I think it was like
a number fifteen or sixteen. I'm front

653
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:29.800
row. You can find this weird
purple haired guy with kind of long hair

654
00:47:29.840 --> 00:47:31.559
that has a shirtlesses riff, and
I worked at that radio station. I'm

655
00:47:31.599 --> 00:47:35.880
in the front row, and I
believe the main fight for that was Ken

656
00:47:35.880 --> 00:47:39.840
Shamrock versus Dan Severn. So I'm
an old school fan, but like I've

657
00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:44.760
just lost interest. I don't even
know who half the fighters are anymore because

658
00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:47.760
it's too difficult to be able to
keep up with the product under their current

659
00:47:47.800 --> 00:47:53.039
platform. Once I agreed, I
agreed, I'm just saying go ahead.

660
00:47:53.400 --> 00:47:57.960
I know, go ahead, go
ahead ahead, that's fair, that's fair.

661
00:47:58.199 --> 00:48:09.719
Um, So let's see hip hop
music current hip hop music man kind

662
00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:13.960
of trash. I'm not a big
fan. I'm much more of an old

663
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:17.519
school guy. Give me a real
MC and not some guy that just rhymes

664
00:48:17.519 --> 00:48:23.079
the same word a word over and
over again and the mumble hip hop and

665
00:48:23.199 --> 00:48:28.599
all that crap. Doesn't it doesn't
entertain me. Give me a true lyricist.

666
00:48:28.679 --> 00:48:34.159
I long for the days of the
of the Andre three thousands and stuff

667
00:48:34.199 --> 00:48:37.159
like that. So hey man,
I love that. So Luke there,

668
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:42.360
read again, Yeah me and come
here a little bit old school ourselves,

669
00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:45.599
so we'll both agree with you on
that one. I feel the same thing

670
00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:52.199
about rock music, like I love
the accessibility of digital recording, but at

671
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:57.199
the exact same time, they've sucked
all the soul out of music because there

672
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:00.920
is no slight flubs, there is
no change is It is all just completely

673
00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:06.960
pitch perfect and it's just record that
little part and we're just gonna loop it

674
00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:10.239
and don't worry, Like, just
let's eliminate any of the soul out of

675
00:49:10.280 --> 00:49:14.880
the music and the feeling out of
it. And that's kind of my problem

676
00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:20.280
with all modern music, say,
like finding a modern song that actually makes

677
00:49:20.280 --> 00:49:25.360
you really feel something. I sometimes
think maybe it's my age and my cold

678
00:49:25.360 --> 00:49:29.719
black heart and all the head trauma. But you know, I can watch

679
00:49:29.719 --> 00:49:31.960
it. I can watch something on
TV and cry like a little baby.

680
00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:37.079
So it's not that like I still
feel things, but I have trouble feeling

681
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:39.639
for modern day music. Give me
something with a little bit of balls or

682
00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:45.519
a little bit of soul that actually
is speaking and saying something and not just

683
00:49:45.639 --> 00:49:50.480
trying to to I can't even sell, say, sell albums just trying to

684
00:49:50.559 --> 00:49:59.119
get views anymore. So message right, right, right, all right?

685
00:49:59.159 --> 00:50:05.519
What's number four? Number four?
Pizza fire? I mean, hey,

686
00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:08.400
there is trash pizza, but I
don't go to those places. I give

687
00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:13.599
and you know, I'm I'm a
fan of all different types of pizza and

688
00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:16.719
Detroit. It makes me laugh now
that everyone has a Detroit pizza and I'm

689
00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:22.239
like, okay, so just the
the the the greasy, real thick dough

690
00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:25.639
just kind of like bacon in a
pan. It's got those crispy cheese edges,

691
00:50:25.639 --> 00:50:29.119
which are pretty good. All right, Now, that's a popular thing.

692
00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:31.400
I'm okay with that. I like
New York. I'm a big fan

693
00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:37.679
of Chicago deep dish when done correctly, the problem is that most people don't

694
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:40.719
do it correctly because you need that
sweet sauce. You need the really sweet

695
00:50:40.760 --> 00:50:45.840
sauce, and you really need that
thickness in the build. And literally that

696
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:50.039
that pie crust is now a pizza
crust. It is damn near a pie

697
00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:53.400
crust at it and when done correctly, I love a good Chicago deep dish,

698
00:50:53.440 --> 00:51:02.440
but it's really hard to find anywhere. Agreed, Agreed, and at

699
00:51:02.719 --> 00:51:08.719
last one, last one. Video
games, I am kind of lunchable.

700
00:51:08.960 --> 00:51:13.960
I I mean, I appreciate video
games, but I don't have enough time

701
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:16.840
to play in my life. And
sometimes I feel when I do have time

702
00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:21.320
to play, for some reason,
I get the stigma in my head that

703
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:23.480
tells me, no, you're being
you're being a kid, and you're not

704
00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:28.000
getting shipped done. You're playing a
goddamn video games. And maybe it's because

705
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:30.199
I used to get yelled at about
playing my goddamn video games all the time

706
00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:34.480
as a child, so I don't
get to play as much as I want.

707
00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:37.599
And then also sometimes like when I
do sit down to relax, I

708
00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:43.280
want to sit down in the rocks. And modern day video games they're kind

709
00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:45.360
of stressful, they're kind of hard, and I gotta put way too much

710
00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:50.119
effort into it. And like I
was a big fan of the Telltale games

711
00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:52.599
when the tell Tales were coming out, which was essentially like a choose your

712
00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:57.239
own adventure but in video game form
where I could pay attention. But it's

713
00:51:57.320 --> 00:52:00.199
essentially like I'm saying, what,
all right, Yeah, he's gonna say

714
00:52:00.280 --> 00:52:01.599
this, now, this is gonna
happen, and maybe I gotta hit a

715
00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:06.360
button here or there, but it's
not that like doing two joy sticks and

716
00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:10.199
sixteen buttons and trying to pay attention
and like in everything. And so I

717
00:52:10.280 --> 00:52:15.280
do play a little bit, but
it's not a big part of my life,

718
00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:19.639
so I gotta go with lunchbowl.
Raz of recently, I do have.

719
00:52:19.960 --> 00:52:22.920
I don't have the new WW I
got last years and I made it

720
00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:28.960
through the Creative Player Males storyline and
about halfway through the female storyline right now.

721
00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:32.559
And then I've been playing Friday in
the thirteenth, that one that came

722
00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:36.760
out a while ago. I've been
playing that, and that's in preparation.

723
00:52:36.960 --> 00:52:38.440
I also got Evil that and I've
played that a few times, but not

724
00:52:38.519 --> 00:52:42.039
as much as I would like to. But I do want to play the

725
00:52:42.079 --> 00:52:45.280
new Texas Chainsall Masker when that does
come out. That looks really fun and

726
00:52:45.320 --> 00:52:50.719
I'm just I'm so attracted to those
characters, and there's some of my favorites,

727
00:52:50.800 --> 00:52:54.719
especially getting to be the Hitchhiker is
what everyone can be, Leatherface and

728
00:52:54.719 --> 00:52:59.559
other things, but getting to be
the hitch Hiker with his little switchblade knife

729
00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:02.920
and stuff. I'm really hoping that
Choptop, who is a huge, huge

730
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:07.280
inspiration towards Drexel, but Choptop,
if they end up with him as a

731
00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:10.960
downloadable character to be part of the
family, then I'm in hog Heaven.

732
00:53:12.199 --> 00:53:15.199
And that's gonna be one of those
points where I just check out for like

733
00:53:15.239 --> 00:53:19.559
a weekend, and like I just
stopped responding to people on on phone or

734
00:53:19.599 --> 00:53:22.880
anything, and and my wife has
to come find me and just bring me

735
00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:25.199
food because I won't leave the TV. I will just play for like two

736
00:53:25.280 --> 00:53:30.239
days straight. And yeah, kind
of a little obsessive. I'm legit.

737
00:53:30.679 --> 00:53:36.159
That is legit. Well well wow
wow? Uh yeah, I mean you

738
00:53:36.199 --> 00:53:37.880
got anything to add before I,
you know, take us out of here,

739
00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:42.239
you know, And uh no,
I don't think you could. I

740
00:53:42.239 --> 00:53:44.800
don't think I could have asked for
anymore. Man. It was great.

741
00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:49.079
No, no, this is this
is exactly what we want to do.

742
00:53:49.079 --> 00:53:52.840
It said you know, because here
at WTFW, you know, Yeah,

743
00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:55.559
the channel we're on is the WWE. You know, they have the review

744
00:53:55.639 --> 00:54:00.039
shows, they talk about w and
all the big you know, major emotions.

745
00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:05.679
But you know, I'm gonna say
it again, Prestive's changed my life.

746
00:54:06.400 --> 00:54:10.320
And and and and the and the
professional wrestlers that I've seen through there

747
00:54:10.559 --> 00:54:14.880
and now up in so Os.
Now you got it, ad Oa,

748
00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:19.119
you know, Defy Um. You
know, Big Timber Pro Wrestling. You

749
00:54:19.119 --> 00:54:22.719
know it is just down in Eugene. Yeah, it's opened up so much.

750
00:54:22.760 --> 00:54:25.880
And you know, I like the
big I like the big you know,

751
00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:30.639
big promotions, Yeah I do.
But there's just something different about,

752
00:54:30.679 --> 00:54:34.719
you know, seeing what you guys
do. You know, at the level

753
00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:37.840
that you do it at such a
high level. I mean it is there's

754
00:54:37.880 --> 00:54:40.920
some amazing, amazing professional wrestler I've
seen. It's part of the beauty of

755
00:54:40.960 --> 00:54:45.239
the life of life right now as
far as on the creative side and being

756
00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:52.000
able to to have so many different
things at your fingertips and at your disposal,

757
00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:57.000
and with independent wrestling, it gives
you that alternative to as far as

758
00:54:57.039 --> 00:55:00.960
storylines, if you want something's a
little bit more on a or maybe like

759
00:55:01.079 --> 00:55:05.000
the stuff on TV. Because you've
got little ones, maybe that is a

760
00:55:05.000 --> 00:55:08.079
little too edgy. And then there
is the family friendly companies and stuff like

761
00:55:08.119 --> 00:55:14.840
I had a company come up to
me at Crimson Crown down in during many

762
00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:17.760
a week and he said, hey, we're very we run a company down

763
00:55:17.800 --> 00:55:22.519
here. It's a smaller company,
but we're very family friendly. And he's

764
00:55:22.559 --> 00:55:27.320
like, I I saw you yesterday
at the Relentless show or the Pandemonium show,

765
00:55:27.400 --> 00:55:30.679
or he said, the owner of
the company saw me the day before

766
00:55:30.719 --> 00:55:34.440
at Pandemonium and Relentless, then he
saw me at Crimson and he said the

767
00:55:34.480 --> 00:55:38.440
owner was just he was so enamored
over that papercut stuff that you do,

768
00:55:38.599 --> 00:55:43.440
and he just like it just brought
such emotions. We want to bring you

769
00:55:43.480 --> 00:55:45.800
in, but we are family friendly. And I said that fine, because

770
00:55:45.920 --> 00:55:51.519
that's the beauty of wrestling. Is
like when I get hired by a company,

771
00:55:51.559 --> 00:55:53.119
what do you want from me?
Because I can take it to the

772
00:55:53.159 --> 00:55:58.360
extremes and I could offend almost anyone, but I can also go out there

773
00:55:58.519 --> 00:56:02.440
and I could be the the scary
monster to scare the child, or I

774
00:56:02.440 --> 00:56:07.239
could be that child scary monster that
he sends underneath the bed to take care

775
00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:12.400
of the Boogeyman. So I whatever
the part that needs to be filled,

776
00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:17.480
I'm here to fill it. That's
like I am filling in a twinkie so

777
00:56:17.559 --> 00:56:24.239
good I could eat that all day. There's a sound bite for the for

778
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:30.719
the twinter right the twinkie because that's
fire. Twinkies are fired. Uh,

779
00:56:30.719 --> 00:56:35.000
well fried twinkies, that's where it's
really. I had a deep fried twinkie

780
00:56:35.079 --> 00:56:37.519
down in a Venice beach when I
was at WrestleMania week. I will say

781
00:56:37.519 --> 00:56:42.599
that it was amazing fire. Yeah, you did try anything, and it

782
00:56:42.639 --> 00:56:47.199
just makes it better, yea,
like a true athlete. Now, well,

783
00:56:47.639 --> 00:56:52.199
you know, like I said,
man I am I'm I can't thank

784
00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:55.199
you enough for coming on the show, Like for real, you know it.

785
00:56:55.719 --> 00:57:00.400
This is a neat experience and you
know it's gonna bring you to a

786
00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:04.039
whole other audience. You know,
who knows. Maybe maybe you'll inspire another

787
00:57:04.079 --> 00:57:07.440
little crazy psychotic kid to do some
crazy psychotic We don't want to have to

788
00:57:07.480 --> 00:57:14.360
be crazy. Just think for yourself, be creative and develop that character that

789
00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:20.239
speaks to you. I tell everyone, embrace your flaws. When you embrace

790
00:57:20.320 --> 00:57:24.559
your flaws, that is what the
wrestling fans are really gonna get emotionally invested

791
00:57:24.599 --> 00:57:30.599
into because most of the wrestling fans, we're not athletes. We're not a

792
00:57:30.679 --> 00:57:34.920
curt angle, We're not an Olympic
athlete. We're not spending six days a

793
00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:38.599
week in the gym working out and
have the best body and looking absolutely amazing,

794
00:57:38.639 --> 00:57:42.360
Like I'm an Adonis. And if
I walk in through a bar and

795
00:57:42.480 --> 00:57:45.920
I do this, everyone comes running. I'm the most popular person in that

796
00:57:45.960 --> 00:57:50.519
place. That's not how most people
live their lives. Most people live their

797
00:57:50.559 --> 00:57:55.320
lives as an underdog, especially in
today's reality, and most people feel underappreciated.

798
00:57:55.480 --> 00:57:59.800
And so if you can give them
something that they can relate to where

799
00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:04.800
they understand it could be some weird, weird quirk with your your anger in

800
00:58:04.800 --> 00:58:07.800
the wrestling ring where something just set
you off and you, as a fan,

801
00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:12.159
you understand because that one little thing, someone says that one little thing

802
00:58:12.199 --> 00:58:16.480
and you just snap and you understand
that. And it's those flaws that make

803
00:58:16.639 --> 00:58:21.320
us connect to the fans. And
I'm trying to. I want to I

804
00:58:21.360 --> 00:58:23.239
want to embrace your flaws, and
I try to teach that to people,

805
00:58:23.519 --> 00:58:28.559
and a lot of look at me
like I'm crazy, but it's worked for

806
00:58:28.639 --> 00:58:32.760
me. Yeah. No, that's
amazing man. Yeah, well yeah,

807
00:58:32.800 --> 00:58:36.880
you know, you know I got
nothing else this is. This has been

808

That was a fine, fine show.

810
00:58:44.880 --> 00:58:49.440
Like I can remember at one point
in my life I used to party like

811
00:58:49.480 --> 00:58:53.280
those two crazy women I've done.
I've done a lot of crazy things in

812
00:58:53.320 --> 00:58:59.639
my my life, but absolutely fabulous, fine, fine show. Awesome.

816
00:59:08.960 --> 00:59:13.760

819
00:59:22.800 --> 00:59:32.280
the video. I am Kanye Twitty, that is the homicidal maniac artist.

820
00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:37.840
Doesn't like a long time ago being
crazy man something Nowadays everybody's crazy. But

821
00:59:37.960 --> 00:59:44.679
I am the only fully functioning homicidal
artist of pro wrestling, and I prove

822
00:59:44.719 --> 00:59:51.000
it each in every week. And
that is facts. That is facts.

823
00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:54.880
Make sure all you listeners out there
go follow this man on social media,

824
00:59:55.320 --> 01:00:00.599
get your butt to a show you
see ye to it soon be I could

825
01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:04.039
die. I'm really old and I'm
really stupid. So if you want to

826
01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:07.199
see me live, you gotta do
it pretty soon. Because Laura knows what

827
01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:09.119
could happen. I mean, like
I said, me and Fie are gonna

828
01:00:09.119 --> 01:00:13.159
do some really messed up stuff to
each other, and who knows. Like

829
01:00:13.360 --> 01:00:15.760
if it wasn't in Oregon, I'm
sure if it happened in another state,

830
01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:21.920
we could get arrested for some of
the ship we might do. I can't

831
01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:24.280
wait to see it because I will
be there. Got my tickets today,

832
01:00:24.320 --> 01:00:31.320
William, got my tickets today.
Get on our show. Drags on every

833
01:00:31.599 --> 01:00:35.719
Presty's show, especially in California right
now, all right, I mean,

834
01:00:35.880 --> 01:00:39.760
I'm a ring announcer. I'm a
hell of a ring announcer. We have

835
01:00:39.880 --> 01:00:45.840
an Evie though, like I got
a lot of fight Evie. We will

836
01:00:46.079 --> 01:00:52.239
fight each other, except when we
have Japanese starts because I can't speak Japanese

837
01:00:52.400 --> 01:00:58.199
so we need them for that.
But it maybe I got it. I'll

838
01:00:58.239 --> 01:01:01.840
just apparently cripple Evie and then I
can drag them out like a puppet,

839
01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:07.159
and I'll just shove my hand up
recklesly and I can control. I mean,

840
01:01:07.239 --> 01:01:09.719
he can speak in the Japanese to
do the introduction, but I'm gonna

841
01:01:09.760 --> 01:01:15.280
do the rest of the introductions.
And Evie's gonna be my muppet. He's

842
01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:22.239
gonna call me Jim Hedson. Oh
but it's been Evie, it has been

843
01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:24.760
laid out. The challenge has been
either there's gonna be a match happening or

844
01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:29.000
you're just gonna be turned into a
muppet. Either way, I can't wait

845
01:01:29.000 --> 01:01:32.840
to see it, Evie Muppet time. All right, all right, well,

846
01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:37.440
hey, this has been fun.
This is our our love show.

847
01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:42.960
I got these allergies and these casts
driving me bonkers, but uh hey,

848
01:01:43.320 --> 01:01:49.519
thank you. It has been an
absolute honor from from us to you,

849
01:01:49.639 --> 01:01:52.679
like you know you want, We're
gonna have to bring you on here again.

850
01:01:52.719 --> 01:01:53.800
I think there's gonna be a part
two to this at some point.

851
01:01:54.239 --> 01:02:02.159
Sure I'll talk about whatever. Well
then a from from Tanye Twitty and mean

852
01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:12.400
the mean line. This has been
the Drexel experience, the homa or whatever

853
01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:15.119
those fancy words are. We're gonna
we always try to figure out the title

854
01:02:15.159 --> 01:02:20.440
for the show, and it's gonna
be something like that. But come at

855
01:02:20.480 --> 01:02:25.599
at us at WTFW, trash on
the Twitter, the Instagram, the tickety

856
01:02:25.679 --> 01:02:30.320
tack, and uh, you know, be be prepared because we got more

857
01:02:30.360 --> 01:02:34.599
interviews come along the way. I
know there's some people that you know personally,

858
01:02:35.079 --> 01:02:36.800
uh you know, and and if
and like I said, if I

859
01:02:36.840 --> 01:02:38.559
remember on an interview with one of
these guys and you want to call in,

860
01:02:39.239 --> 01:02:43.199
I won't stop you. You know, we do got referee, the

861
01:02:43.239 --> 01:02:49.440
skinny ref brad Lee coming up getting
into the fine fine weapons builder. I'm

862
01:02:49.480 --> 01:02:54.639
gonna give brad Lee like he's very
good at I've I've kind of mentored him

863
01:02:54.639 --> 01:03:00.559
a little bit on how to build
things correctly for these matches. And I

864
01:03:00.599 --> 01:03:07.199
will give him credit that that amazing
barbed wire trampoline that was all Bradley's construction.

865
01:03:07.320 --> 01:03:08.960
He headed that up. It was
my idea, I said, I

866
01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:13.039
wanted to do it. I made
William go buy all the ship, but

867
01:03:13.079 --> 01:03:15.159
then I sent Bradley over there and
he made it better than I would have.

868
01:03:15.280 --> 01:03:19.039
I probably the way I would have
done it, I probably would have

869
01:03:19.079 --> 01:03:22.960
snapped it and fell through it.
But it supported me and a car and

870
01:03:22.039 --> 01:03:25.039
we bounced, and it kind of
sucked to the whole bouncing because every time

871
01:03:25.079 --> 01:03:29.360
we kept it kept going hey baby, but it was really cool looking.

872
01:03:30.880 --> 01:03:34.280
Well. Also, we got we
already just talked about him, and uh,

873
01:03:34.840 --> 01:03:37.039
yeah, there's gonna be some challenges. I think a few just started.

874
01:03:37.199 --> 01:03:43.039
On the WTFW podcast. We got
Evie coming on the show from Prestige

875
01:03:43.039 --> 01:03:45.679
and one of my favorite ring announcers
of all time. He'll be coming up

876
01:03:45.719 --> 01:03:50.719
here on the show. And then, uh, we also got a young

877
01:03:50.800 --> 01:03:54.920
girl, a young professional wrestler from
up North that I'm actually rocking the shirt

878
01:03:55.000 --> 01:03:59.920
right now. Nine kid. I
like her. She's a good kid,

879
01:04:00.239 --> 01:04:03.559
Murphy Mattson. She's actually on the
road right now on her way home and

880
01:04:03.719 --> 01:04:06.800
she's going to be hitting me up. We're gonna get that interview on the

881
01:04:06.840 --> 01:04:11.079
way too. So I saw her
yesterday. She's a good kid. I

882
01:04:11.119 --> 01:04:15.760
like her absolutely. So Hey,
that's it. That's how it is.

883
01:04:15.119 --> 01:04:20.280
And this is the w t f
W podcast out you can you got anything

884
01:04:20.360 --> 01:04:25.039
left to leave him with Drexel It
says the floor is yours, send him

885
01:04:25.079 --> 01:04:29.400
home with it. Don't wish where
you eat. I remember that that's just

886
01:04:29.480 --> 01:04:32.840
a rule in general. I know
the Pacific Northwest needs to learn that right.
