I got my I take my ankles up every single
match and then I double sock them so there is
no there is no support with the ankles, you know.
But uh, man, I just I just like how they
look on TV. Man, just just the all whites. And
then at the time when we started wearing tennis shoes,
(02:38):
like me and my brother were the only ones wearing
wearing Air Force ones. Everybody had to wear boots. It
was like a rule. But for us we got away
with it because we were just trying stuff. Man. We
go to Champs, get a pair of whites in the
black joggers by one get one free. You know what
I'm saying. There was a wrestling gear right there. It
(02:59):
was up.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I don't know y'all was I.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Was come on that day one is came. We made

at the drawing board with stuff that's hard for sure.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Man, that's crazy like for you. You know what I'm saying,
be a superstar, like you said at the beginnings. I
just like regularly we have to mall try to figure
out when we used to go to get fresh skin,
airbrush cop the white horce is off for a circle moment, man,
But let's talk about the beginning. Man, san Fran growing
up crazy wrestling his tea. I know you all super
about that for sure. Grandpa to the father, to the cousins,
to everybody, like growing up in that environment with the
(03:46):
whole your whole family grew up in the wrestling world.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Was you inspired to be a wrestler? Was you going
to do something else? Did you play any other sports
anything else like that?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Played football? Yeah? Yeah, we were ballers, man. I always
wanted to play football with you know how that go? Yeah?
Uh after college, you know, kind of came home getting
the real world. Writers. It's like, well, Damn, this ain't fun.
You know, you could just go to a regular job,
clock out every night three years, start getting big, you know, athletes.
(04:15):
When you come home, it's a different transition, right, like
you don't know what to do. Were just eating a lot,
you know, and working out training as much. So now
now I'm down there tipping like two seventy, like two eighty,
you know, just unhealthy. Man. Then I just got to
grow up. Who's making a decision?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
We had kids early, hm, Wrestling was the door to
walk through. It was a hard door to walk through, though, right.
Pops wanted the uh you sure y'all want to do this? Yes, sir?
All right, took us to a ring, beat be me
and my brother's asked for two hours and just notble
(05:00):
to say who Pops is in the situation? His pops,
I don't know, I don't know, Like just look him up, man,
his hands easy, wasn't wrestling.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Fan, But your pops was out of pocket that uh
that stink, stinky, stinky whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Rest before he fought him.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
And come on, man, man, pops and Pops is doing
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
But that's like literally the only thing I really remember.
He used to do his thing. But I'm my dad
was like something that stuck out.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
But he brung the vibes, the wrestling overre too cool
and stuff that kind of brung a different element to
the game at that time.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Though a little disrespectful. It was crazy.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Bro, I was like growing up in that world though, Bro,
seeing your pops, like was he like a different man
when he came home.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
But did y'all know how famous he was? Man? It
was because to be honest, he ain't hit his He
hit his like famous. He didn't get a notarizations. I
kind of got in high school, so I was kind
of old enough to know. But as far as like
being a kid growing up, we didn't have a lot
of money. It was that we was. We was a
poor family because he was a wrestler trying to trying
(06:12):
to make it. Yeah, and uh, I remember I remember
when he that I don't know, you probably remember it
was when he ran over Stone Cold. Yeah, I remember, Man,
I was out there, We me and my brother was
fighting like almost every single week, man, because the kids
were testing us. Yeah, your dad, your dad sucks ran
over your dad ran over Stone Cold. Luckily we was
(06:33):
good in football, so that's what kind of like separated us,
you know, from being like that then the wrestlers kids.
Right now, let alone we're twins. But we were balling, bro.
We we My dad would come to the games, and
I remember being on the field and if I see
a crowd move, I know my dad's I would just
(06:55):
look like the game would stopped for like two seconds.
All right, he's here, you can't miss him, you know. Here,
big morn with blonde here. That was in Florida at
the time, right, yeah, Pensacola. Grew up in Pensacola. Man.
I was born in Cali, and then we moved to
Florida when I was like five. So we've been in
the South ever since. That's where I met roaming at
(07:17):
like from the sandbox, I mean little league football, middle
school all the way up to high school. Like falling bro.
He went to Georgia Tech to my brother went to
like a division to West Alabama.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
That's the only time we split ways, man, And then
it's crazy because life we go through life together. Oh now,
he came back as a wanted to be a wrestling
train and I remember when he told me that I'm
over here tripping like you're trying to wrestle, you know,
because it was never he was never like leaning towards
that and just to see like where he at today. Man,
(07:52):
like my mom my hat goes off, man like mind blown. Man, that's.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I mean, oh my gosh. But they are they don't know.
So they got an action called the blood Line at
one point.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Get let you No, I'm trying to. I don't when
I say when I say were running it, they running
their whole.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Family is like they shout out to the game, I'm
here to learn elite right now, they're running everything.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
So for sure you're talking about the beginnings of wrest
I would have asked you, I know you active on
social media. Do you ever see those people who have
like the random wrestling matches like they did the frequent
pos on the ball and they ran like kick them
over stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, how do you? I mean obviously at the high up,
but do you see that like get abused by that?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
But like that's crazy, Like that's how like the beginning
is and wrestled like you're just trying to find your
weak and stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, I mean I dig it because it shows them
being like hungry trying to they're hungry for it, you know,
but it's dangerous, so they need to chill out on it.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
They be on con create you everywhere with how do
you separate the entertainment from the real stuff?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Though? Like the.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Uh they were wrestling at a closed mall.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I'm just saying, bro like some of it. I know
it's entertainment, of course, but it's some of it.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Bro y'all really be having the whoop up motherfucker ass
for talk, But like how to.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Be professional in there? Though? There's some homies in there though,
Like whoever, I'm about to wrestle whatever, I'm like, I
got to bring my a gay with this one, you know.
I like I like if I like, if somebody's like
working me or you know, say they wrestling me tonight, man,
I like for them to think if me and you wrestling,
I want you to be like, oh I got Jada
Knight easy, like you know it's gonna be yeah. You
(09:40):
know what I'm saying. The movement in there, it's all different.
You and there was another. If you really think about it,
the ring ain't nohing no bigger than this this room
right here kind of and you in there with two
big men just dancing in this in this square circle.
They gotta be safe with each other. You know what
I'm saying. Like it's a dance, it's a it's an
(10:03):
art in there, man. We just not in there, just
throwing each other around. This was a loss. It's a loss.
There's art to this, man, And I look at it
like live television. One shot. Ain't no redos you you
you mess up on the microphone, you can't. You know,
everything's live. Okay. So because our producer, he used to wrestle,
(10:26):
but it was real thing. It was no like they
used to follow him up. They used to.
Speaker 2 (10:35):

he puts you out to the ringer. Now you go
through like the smaller second before you become a superstar.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
How's that groad?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Like yeah, hard, hard, just do it for for you know,
little gyms they still do. It's called independent but still
still still homies out there hustling. It's kind of easier
now because it got social media and it's easy to
get recognition. So like when I was coming up, we
had to like sending pictures and tapes, No, take pictures
and mail them in. And the only way you can
(12:10):
get noticed is if you get on like the big stage,

Speaker 2 (12:57):
And I don't think you've been to an event before.
Speaker 4 (12:59):

He think we're supposed to jump on the top rope
and then splash boom. He jumped on the top rope
(17:50):
and he and he slipped. He felt like he just slipped. Man.
So everybody was like, ha ha idiot, you know because
you can kind of hear like the first five rolls
right there and they're talking, they talking shit. But yeah,
my brother slipped and he was real upset about it.
I was like, damn, because we didn't know. We were
just trying to make sure everything was good because every
(18:11):
I ain't gonna lie. Bro. Every year I've been wrestling,
I thought I'd get fired, damn. Like that's how I think.
But that's how that's how cold it is, because everybody's
coming like this has been is everybody's trying to come
get the top spot, and they bringing in little homies
and I'm on my way out. I've been in. I've
been hit on on WWE TV for going fifteen years, sir,
(18:33):
Damn bro. So I'm man my body, Bro, I ain't
never ever always felt strong like body kind of feel
the body creeping up. You know. I'm thirty nine right now,
like this young man's game now, and I recognize that.
I recognize it. I just like I just like man
stepping up, like challenging all of them because they're gonna
(18:55):
have to go through me. They're gonna have to go
through the top homies to get to take it. I'm
not gonna let you take it, bro, if you ain't
you're not ready for this man, that's ship like checking
off to the top to be the top dog for sure.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
And I'm just see the article that came out a
couple of days ago, they was kind of speaking about
what's coming up with the world roma stuff, and they
was just like you know, we're like, we're happy to
see Jason dislip. That was just like we happy it
finally got to a point to where they're pushing it
like he's been the same polarizing figure since he entered
this game.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Like you say, wait till turn to get to the top.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I Wheels is like all right, like I had to
go through that gutlet, but like it's my time to
show who I am now.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, I appreciate it, man, I'm so I'm so bro
I'm grateful because there was a moment in wrestling where
there was no reaction or I wasn't on TV, or
I would just show up to work and just sit
in the corner the whole time, and and just and
what do I do? How do I do? So every
single night man, I treated like like it's my first time, man,
(19:50):
because like like you've seen it losing energy out there,
it's crazy. Yeah, cuse and I really I really vibe
off that. And if and if and if I'm gonna
take up time on TV, you know, our segmentary are
slotted out with a certain time. Man, if I'm out there
and they going crazy. You're gonna have to cut some
time from the segment coming after me because they a't
(20:10):
gonna get no higher. And then what's going on right now? Yeah? Shit,
I'm excited for rumble. I want I want to have
half twenty thousand in my handles. That's crazy fire, I've
seen it.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
It likes crazy because my little nephew was here and
he watched wrestling all the time, and I'm like, we're your.

Man, I just want to know, like what it was
like when you had to not break up with your brother,
but they separated you as a tag team.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
I think at the time it was it was needed
because you know, I was going through the whole angle
with roaming and and that kind of like like let
me blossom a little bit. So it was it was
perfect timing. Man. I do miss my brothers though, because
I don't see him because wrong different different different shows now,

just like regularly we have to mall try to figure
out when we used to go to get fresh skin,
airbrush cop the white horce is off for a circle moment, man,
But let's talk about the beginning. Man, san Fran growing
up crazy wrestling his tea. I know you all super
about that for sure. Grandpa to the father, to the cousins,
to everybody, like growing up in that environment with the
(03:46):
whole your whole family grew up in the wrestling world.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Was you inspired to be a wrestler? Was you going
to do something else? Did you play any other sports
anything else like that?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Played football? Yeah? Yeah, we were ballers, man. I always
wanted to play football with you know how that go? Yeah?
Uh after college, you know, kind of came home getting
the real world. Writers. It's like, well, Damn, this ain't fun.
You know, you could just go to a regular job,
clock out every night three years, start getting big, you know, athletes.
(04:15):
When you come home, it's a different transition, right, like
you don't know what to do. Were just eating a lot,
you know, and working out training as much. So now
now I'm down there tipping like two seventy, like two eighty,
you know, just unhealthy. Man. Then I just got to
grow up. Who's making a decision?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
We had kids early, hm, Wrestling was the door to
walk through. It was a hard door to walk through, though, right.
Pops wanted the uh you sure y'all want to do this? Yes, sir?
All right, took us to a ring, beat be me
and my brother's asked for two hours and just notble
(05:00):
to say who Pops is in the situation? His pops,
I don't know, I don't know, Like just look him up, man,
his hands easy, wasn't wrestling.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Fan, But your pops was out of pocket that uh
that stink, stinky, stinky whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Rest before he fought him.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
And come on, man, man, pops and Pops is doing
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
But that's like literally the only thing I really remember.
He used to do his thing. But I'm my dad
was like something that stuck out.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
But he brung the vibes, the wrestling overre too cool
and stuff that kind of brung a different element to
the game at that time.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Though a little disrespectful. It was crazy.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Bro, I was like growing up in that world though, Bro,
seeing your pops, like was he like a different man
when he came home.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
But did y'all know how famous he was? Man? It
was because to be honest, he ain't hit his He
hit his like famous. He didn't get a notarizations. I
kind of got in high school, so I was kind
of old enough to know. But as far as like
being a kid growing up, we didn't have a lot
of money. It was that we was. We was a
poor family because he was a wrestler trying to trying
(06:12):
to make it. Yeah, and uh, I remember I remember
when he that I don't know, you probably remember it
was when he ran over Stone Cold. Yeah, I remember, Man,
I was out there, We me and my brother was
fighting like almost every single week, man, because the kids
were testing us. Yeah, your dad, your dad sucks ran
over your dad ran over Stone Cold. Luckily we was
(06:33):
good in football, so that's what kind of like separated us,
you know, from being like that then the wrestlers kids.
Right now, let alone we're twins. But we were balling, bro.
We we My dad would come to the games, and
I remember being on the field and if I see
a crowd move, I know my dad's I would just
(06:55):
look like the game would stopped for like two seconds.
All right, he's here, you can't miss him, you know. Here,
big morn with blonde here. That was in Florida at
the time, right, yeah, Pensacola. Grew up in Pensacola. Man.
I was born in Cali, and then we moved to
Florida when I was like five. So we've been in
the South ever since. That's where I met roaming at
(07:17):
like from the sandbox, I mean little league football, middle
school all the way up to high school. Like falling bro.
He went to Georgia Tech to my brother went to
like a division to West Alabama.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
That's the only time we split ways, man, And then
it's crazy because life we go through life together. Oh now,
he came back as a wanted to be a wrestling
train and I remember when he told me that I'm
over here tripping like you're trying to wrestle, you know,
because it was never he was never like leaning towards
that and just to see like where he at today. Man,
(07:52):
like my mom my hat goes off, man like mind blown. Man, that's.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I mean, oh my gosh. But they are they don't know.
So they got an action called the blood Line at
one point.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Get let you No, I'm trying to. I don't when
I say when I say were running it, they running
their whole.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Family is like they shout out to the game, I'm
here to learn elite right now, they're running everything.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
So for sure you're talking about the beginnings of wrest
I would have asked you, I know you active on
social media. Do you ever see those people who have
like the random wrestling matches like they did the frequent
pos on the ball and they ran like kick them
over stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, how do you? I mean obviously at the high up,
but do you see that like get abused by that?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
But like that's crazy, Like that's how like the beginning
is and wrestled like you're just trying to find your
weak and stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, I mean I dig it because it shows them
being like hungry trying to they're hungry for it, you know,
but it's dangerous, so they need to chill out on it.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
They be on con create you everywhere with how do
you separate the entertainment from the real stuff?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Though? Like the.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Uh they were wrestling at a closed mall.
Speaker 3 (09:06):

there was no reaction or I wasn't on TV, or
I would just show up to work and just sit
in the corner the whole time, and and just and
what do I do? How do I do? So every
single night man, I treated like like it's my first time, man,
