to the King of President podcast Number one. Ladies and gentlemen, my name
is Brian Pillman Junior, and you're listening to Kings of Wrestling podcast. This
is our You're listening to the King Wrestling podcasting. And now you're host.
Yes, I am the host with the most Baby, I am Brandon Turner,
and I've got a very special guest for me this week. I'm telling
you right now for King of Russelling podcast, this is somebody I've been trying
to get on for a while. He is an instant classic. But not
only that, he is the brand new Capital Set Champion at Battles one,
none other than the Instant Classic himself, Geo Savage. What's going on,
Geo Baby? Thank you for the one introduction. I'm good. How about
you, man, I'm gonna do great, but I'm gonna just say this.
The other night you won a pretty much is called a feast and fire
deal, okay, And you won the number one contendership for the battles On
Capitol C Championship, which is the top of the mountain for battles On Championship
wrestling. And the other night you you cashed that championship in against the Nightmare
Jeremiah, which you're braver than me because I wouldn't have went out there with
him, and you surprised the world by winning the championship. Dude, what
was that feeling like? And that crowd, I mean, the battles On
crowds hard anyway, but they loved Geo Savage and they popped big for you
the other night. What was that feeling like when you've heard that three count.
First, I didn't know it happened. I thought he kicked out,
but he did, he did, and so now I'm going the champion.
And when that crowd pop, I just knew that weren't gonna pop because it
was just a long night anyway, And like from the from the locker room,
you didn't hear anything. But when I came up there and they got
that one, two or three, they came alive again. Dude. I
was in the locker room that night, and when you pinned him, I
couldn't hear nothing. I mean, it was just so loud out there.
They were they. I mean, which anybody that's been to a bows On
Championship Wrestling, which is in Raleigh, you know, mostly Mississippi, Braxton,
Raleigh, whatever, that crowd. If they don't like you, they
don't like you. If they love you, they're behind you fully and and
Geo Savage is one of the to me, probably one of the top tier
talents at bottles On Championship Wrestling. Has proven now because you're the Capital C
Champion. I appreciate that. Man. I wish I had that type of
confidence in myself. I look at everybody else on the on the roster and
that's just all amazing talents. Oh there is amazing talent on bc w's roster.
But my thing is when I look in the mirror every day I'm looking
there and I see Geo Savage. That makes me feel good when I walked
out the door. Now, now, Gia, I'm gonna say this,
and I've been saying this for a long time. I mean, me and
you first met at Paul Wright show back in McGee Mississippi at the church.
Yeah all right. So the first time I saw you, you teamed with
which, now, if anybody knows, I'm breeding one baby one of my
clients, you tag team with mac Daddy Dudds, who is you know,
probably one of the greatest of all time. And I really hit off.
I mean I was. I was sold on you then, and I mean
I came up to you that night and told you, did I not you
did? You did? But I mean, what was it like teaming with
one of the greatest of all time in mac Daddy Dud's baby and mac Daddy's
great man. To be honest, I thought that Daddy had what's gonna suck
all the work? No lie, But then I looked at its light real
I like, man, he's pretty good. And then I found out that
he's been in it for like fifteen years. I'm like, what man,
okay? And no one man is good? Hey man, he already has
the charisma of the persona and everything. Oh dude, mac Daddy can make
you laugh no matter what he is, just he's He's one of those characters
that's just hilarious. I love him. One of the kind he really is.
And you know, uh, mag Daddy grew up with Chuck Taylor and
Ricochet and trained with it. Yeah, so you know he's been around the
block. But at the same time, that was my first introduction to you.
And I remember Paul telling me, like, you don't know who Geo
Savage is. I was like, no, but I do now, and
I love him. Man, that's what's up. I'm glad that you still
remember me. I'm glad Dad I made some type of impression. Oh dude,
man, you've been making the impression on me for a while. And
honestly, when I saw you the first time I saw you, and my
wife, as a matter of fact, because she's a hard critic on professional
wrestling, she'll say she ain't not gonna sugarcoat anything. She's just gonna tell
you if it sucks, it sucks. But from day one she has touted
Geo Savage and she just I mean, because dude, all right, not
trying to sound like I'm a boy. What's the word I'm looking for here,
like I'm loving on you or anything. But at the same time,
I mean, you got a perfect look. You are a good looking guy,
you got the build, and you got the charisment that is professional wrestling
right there in itself. Well, thank you, man, I appreciate that.
But what I do want to know is since you know, like I
mean, like I say, you know, twenty nineteen, that's when I
that's when I found out about Geo Savage. But why don't you tell me
a little bit about yourself? Man? Did you grew up a wrestling fan?
And how did you find your way into the wrestling business? Oh?
Man, it's a crazy story. So, I mean, I grew up
in Charleston, Mississippi. Uh, as a kid, I've always watched wrestling.
I always try to stay up past my bed time just to watch it,
try some get with my dad, you know, but I always eventually
get caught, get sent to my room and all that type of stuff.
And uh what really, Well, I would say, who who really inspired
me to be a wrestler? Is a shellon Benchman Day won? And then
the theme song Ain't no stuff for me? Yeah? Hey, hey,
there was my workout song. I started working out. I started Donna push
ups and crunches every day up in like seventh grade, you know what I'm
saying. And I was like, hey, I want to be a wrestler.
I don't know who wrestlers around here. I don't know how to get
into, but I'm gonna get into. And so UH has started this,
uh this little job and UH a friend he was up in high school.
He just put me on, you know, just trying to you know,
hip out the community and all this stuff. He was a wrestler as well.
And all throughout my middle school and high school, I was trying to
I was just trying to say, let me become a wrestler. Helped me
become a wrestler. You're like Nagy, you're too small. You're too small,
go to school, go to college. You don't want that. Ask
him again, Hey, I want to be a wrestler. Na man,
you don't want it. You don't want to go. Say you somebody to
go get you a real job. I asked him again twenty fourteen, Hey
I need to get on He said no, and then, uh, I've
in twenty eighteen, I was I went to a show now. I was
like it was no, it was a pro wrestling, you go show,
and I was trying to get on there. And I asked them about,
you know, about potentially becoming a wrestler. Not talk to them, talk
to them, and before I decided to pull a trigger on them, I
said, let me talk to Russell one more time, but shout out to
Midnight Rooster. He's the one who put me on. That's the guy,
that's my guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the last show. Yeah
he was there. Yeah, but I talked on one last time. You're
like, oh, man, you don't need to do it. And so
I just one day we were just in like the local restaurant called Mister Jippy.
They said the best chicken in Mississippi. But who you see, know
Darren, you see because he didn't seen me in a long time. You're
like, gee that you Yeah, you're ready to become wrestling Now. I'm
like, oh, okay, okay, because back then I would probably like
shoot a buck sixty buck seventy, and now I'm like two twenty five now,
so we're like, hey, let's do it. Let's go to work.
And so since twenty eighteen, I've been trying to get my feet wet
someone everywhere. Well, I mean, you've made your way around, and
I want to get to your tag team partner in just a minute. But
I'm what I want to get into is like that's right, Muddy Waters baby,
one of the most part I'm gonna tell you something, might as well
just get into r j W. I love r j DEBI all right.
He lived not too far from me, okay, and I mean, like
with within twenty minutes of my house. And I love r j W.
And I thought I thought it was a perfect fit for you to to be
Muddy Waters. Y'all have jailed well together. Both are young in the business,
really showing out now. And my thing with it is is y'all are
really starting to expand you're expanding yourself, all right. I remember the first
time I saw you, which was at Paul's show, which was a was
a good show. And then you start coming to bows On, which you
know, I'm pretty much figured in with that um at bows On, And
I mean, I'm just like, if I had a company, I would
love to build it around Geo Savage. I mean, because like I said,
you got the look, you got the charisma, you got everything.
I mean, there's nothing lacking there. The only thing that is lacking in
Geo Savages. He could be a part of Brille and inque That's the only
thing. Oh see, I think needs to come a part of muddy waters.
You know what I'm saying, to make him collid, to collaborate.
You know what I'm saying, work something out. Hey, you never know,
Hey, that could that could work. You know r j W has
already been on the losing end of Brillian Ink. You know he learned the
tactics that night. Oh man, he had that. Now I just had
to show him the light. Oh okay, okay, okay. But uh,
you've been you kind of branched out. You've been to Combat Sports Pro,
which you know is one of the top promotions in Florida. I mean
you've been traveling with uh mister indie professional wrestler himself, Ray Fury. Uh,
you've done a lot. I mean I love Ray. I hadn't got
to be around Ray as much lately, you know, except for like the
BIW shows and stuff like that. But what is what is Ray taught to
you since you've been traveling and stuff with him? Man, Mostly he's been
telling me about more so about merch sales and how to stand it, fresh
myself out, make myself more valuable. And like, yeah, I understand
that, but I don't want to see out his moves, Like I don't
want to do all his moves, you know, still just still his brain
just like sending around wrestling, and I get where he's coming from. You
know, like the moves will come. But you want to work with your
character. You want to work your merchant that you want to work and your
appearance or your promos and everything. I'm like, man like, let me
just get some of your your athleticism. You're a wisdom or something. I
mean, Ray has been on he's been on the charts, and you're right,
he's right. Though. The to be honest with you, the first
thing in professional listening is promoting yourself. Okay, promoting yourself, getting your
merch out there, getting all that. The moves will come. But dude,
I mean you're already You're already making those moves too. And by the
grace of God, I'll say that, I mean, you're doing you're doing
things right now. It's like every time I see you at a show,
it's just like you're getting bigger and bigger. It's just it's gonna take time.
But Jew Savage, in my opinion on the independent scene right now,
if I had to pick, you know, three people that we're gonna be
top tier talents you know who my first one's gonna be. It's gonna be
Vladimir co Off. That that guy. He works his asshole. I know
a lot of people don't like him because he's he's a bad guy, but
he works his ass off. He's very talented in the ring and he can
go. Ray Fury definitely up there. I mean, Ray Fury one of
the top talents in the independent scene around here, and he's he's expanding himself
everywhere. And then I look at somebody's got so much potential to be one
of the top stars on the independent scene and beyond. And that's the instant
classic himself, Geo Savage. Baby, Man, there's a lot of pressure
right there. I mean, hey, you gotta be apart. But I
mean, you remember back when we first met, what was the first thing
I said, you gotta come on my podcast, right right right? And
here we are would almost two years later, and you're finally gone. You're
finally on the podcast. Finally, but Savage has come to Kingcast. That's
right, baby, I mean, And and you know it's like I told
you, he's like, man, I don't know about doing a podcast.
I'm like, dude, it's just like me and you talking on the phone.
That's that's what it is. It's not it's not like you're dealing with
Walter the worm, you know, asking you all these questions why he's stuttering?
You know, it's just Hey, that's my guy, man, that's
my gal. Now, now let me just let me just clue you in
on something here real quick. People, we were was it widow Fest that
we were at or was it the cage match with JD and Vladimir? I
think it was that show. I think it was that show. Walter was
there right now, Walter, you know, he hit. I mean he
was getting so excited. I mean it looked like he looked like a teenage
boy looking at his teacher or something when you came in. And do you
remember that interview and what I was doing behind the camera. Oh, I
remember you made me break man and Walter he looked so pissed though, you
know, but he was so happy that you did that interview with him,
you know. Uh, speaking of Walter, Sorry, Walter, I didn't
mean to bury you. I mean I couldn't bury you no more than you've
already been buried. But anyway, you know, but Geo, I mean
dude, what are some of your highlights so far in your young career.
Oh man, let's see uh branding and defending North Delta Championships United States Champion.
Uh. Well this this promotion has been shut down, but it's our
the Wrestling Council's Tag Team Champion, so previous former champion of that uh,

Well, I'm gonna just it's been a while ride. Well, I'm
glad and say this. You're gonna be the breakout champion of battles On this

very big impact even with the pandemic. You know when we were doing the
Lights Out shows. I mean, you're putting the miles and hours in to
come to battles On and I'm telling you, man, it's been a lot
of fun in in uh in the firehouse, you know for the Lights Out
shows, I thought those were really three shows, man. I love that
those shows. My favorite metch was with Jeremiah, you know he knocked me
out. I mean that ain't nothing, you know. Yeah, I didn't
down though, Hey, dude, I mean you wouldn't there and showed another
night. But I'll just say this, I've I've repped some Jeremiah matches and
b I W I've been around Jeremiah a lot, and I'm gonna just tell
you something that, dude ain't nothing to play with it. I wouldn't want
to meet him in the dark alley, but you went right into that dark
alley and knocked him out and became champion your song, and I'll do it
every single time to defend my belt. Speaking of which, when is your

I want to talk about Rooster for a second. Man. Now,
you know, you know Midnight Rooster for a long time. I got to
meet him at widow Fest this year. Cool guy. Had had a blast
been around him. What's your relationship like Rooster? And you know, how
long has he been in the business. Rousse's He's been in the business for
about ten years, maybe ten eleven years. And uh, basically, like
I just walked into a local friends and he was like, hey, you
on a job and I like yeah, Like this was when I was like
up in what seven or eighth grade or something, and he was like you
want a job? Like yeah, he was like, just stack these boxes
up whatever. Okay, started stacking up boxes, just you know, doing
a little odd jobs or whatever. He'll give me like twenty dollars at the
end of the week, and I'm like, wow, this up. And
then I actually got a job and they were just paying like a hundred dollars
a week. I'm like, this ain't nothing. I'm thinking this man making
like boocools of money, Like he's just giving me twenty dollars, and I'm
like, oh man, it's been a really cool guy from the jump,
you know, and so uh just Kevin touched with him and his family,
like me his family and work with his family and his uncle, uh Noble

the people of Charleston. Hey. You know, it's been just been cool
with his family ever since. He's just like another coming to me. Man,
it's awesome to hear. You know. There's one more person I want
to ask you about, you know, before we start, you know,
getting to the end here is I want to know about five Roe of funk
Pimp. I want to know what what's your thoughts with the pump baby man.
Pharaoh is my god man. I'm only just whenever. He just passing
it on mind, just thinking about the accident that he just had, someone
going over seventy miles per hour and just just knocking him outside of the road.
Just a blessing to be alive. He needed to change his name to
a miracle or something, because that was definitely that dude that wasn't far from
my house. You know. Pharreh was in my actual my city, Meridian,
and he was leaving it and he had called me like ten minutes before
that happened, and I didn't get down. Yeah, I didn't get to
answer it. And then he got hit. And then I talked to him
later on that night and I was like, dude, you all right and
he's like, yeah, yeah, I'm just a little shaking up, blah
blah. And I said, who hit you? And then he said the
name of part I'm not gonna say the name of the person that hit him,
but he said that name. And my wife was listening and she goes,
I know him. He's one of our customers. He's an asshole and
then parahs like parrihs like yeah, he was an asshole. And uh but
but you know, uh yeah, Pharaoh was very lucky because I mean,
if you saw that car, you're like, there was a miracle from above
that he just deal with us today and like in no pain. I mean,
I know he had like an a fractured arm, but that's it and
and that's a blessing. That's a blessing to come out of something like that,
because like I said, I talked to him that night, I talked
to him the next day or so, and uh yeah, I mean he
was very lucky to be in the condition he was in. I mean,
I know he was hurt, don't get me wrong. But at the same
time, it was very blessed to be in the position he's in because if
you saw the car, you were thinking, damn, how did he survive
that? God no rate? But uh yeah, Pharaoh, Uh far Row
has been around a long time. He's a pimp, you know, he's
the original pimp. And uh if you've ever if you're ever around Pharaoh,
and I mean for ten minutes, you're gonna hear pimp at least twenty times.
Oh yeah, get me a smoke. Are pimp a pimp? What
you're doing? Pimp? Hey, come here? Pimp? Yeah, every
every other word it comes out of his mouth, that's pimp. But you
know, I like Old Pharaoh and I like working with him and uh,
you know, doing some stuff with bowles On because Balleson has been in his
family for almost twenty years now and uh, and you know, yeah,
and it's it's just been Uh, it's been fun. I mean he's been
at bottles On since then. Before then Billy D mcclan on battles On and
it was Nwa bowles On before Uh, the Williamson's took it over. But

dealing with Diamond. And as a matter of fact, you made your Diamond
Championship wrestling debut not too long ago. Uh how did you feel about that?
And what would you like about? Did you like being at Diamond man?

they booed me and dude, they threw a chair at me and Matt Daddy
duds out there in the main event that night. What. Yeah, these
little kids, man, I told them to go find their babysitter and they
just threw a chair. I was being nice to them too, and they
threw a chair at me. I was like, Geane had to come out
there and get him because he told me he says you can't throw stuff at
the wrestlers. I was like, especially a damn chair. Wow. Luckily
mac Daddy was walking away. It would have got him in the head because
I ducked it. So but yeah, I'm telling you, man, I
don't know what it is. I mean, I know that their mother is
