Transcripts
play so Bruce Pritchard was talking
about you and Kendrick and also kid cash
and Jamie Noble so um hear what he says
anyway so let me know if you can hear it
fine like a that might be ahead of it
time Paul London and Brian Kendrick kid
cash and Jamie Noble do you think those
guys would be bigger stars in the 2024
era absolutely yeah absolutely uh
tremendous tremendous talents man you
know you take a guy like Brian Kendrick
and if Brian Kendrick had six more
inches in height and another 50 pounds
on him he would have been the world
champion nobody could stop him um his
his work
believable his selling was great and it
was it was like
um just un un believable Talent you know
same thing with Paul London uh great
talent you know to do it all and
unfortunately they weren't the biggest
guys in the world look on the other side
kid cash and Jamie Noble awesome awesome
talents man uh and I think that
again take those talents as they were
then in 2024 they would be huge huge
stars and that's nice of
them um yeah nice I mean Bruce is a hard
guy to read to be honest with you I
never got I mean I never
uh I never got any Praises from him
ever when you know in
person um I think one of the longest
conversations we ever had where
he he told me my gear smelled and I
should wash it or I was going to get
heat um I me I just don't you know what
I mean like I don't
but then he had done a podcast I know he
does podcast with u con is it uh not con
Conrad yeah who who I like Conrad a lot
Ian Conrad's always been very very uh
polite very kind uh in regards to my
work and uh I you know I hope I can meet
him and talk with him sometime and hang
out um because he's always just been
very uh very
fair but they did a podcast a while back
where Bruce
was saying similar stuff but he was
really harping on me being aloof and
that I didn't care and that I was
disinterested and all this stuff and it
was just
like y'all didn't have a more committed
guy than me that I could think of that
you know wanted to go about it what I
saw is kind of the right way not by you
know rubbing shoulders with people and
complimenting them you know empty
compliments
and that stuff you just kind
of sadle up to like Kiss Ass politics
[ __ ] like if the work is as good as he
just said it
was that's what I was going off of
was the work the work speaks for
itself and you don't have anyone better
I mean that's honestly why we had the
bells for so long they just didn't have
anyone better they didn't like us they
didn't praise us not that we were like
hoping for that but like some indication
that
you're you know doing your job or
exceeding expectation like some you know
for anyone out there anyone who's had a
job it it doesn't kindness costs nothing
kindness honestly it it costs
nothing and we're in such a you
know like everything's just very
um I don't know if the I don't want to
say that's not
sensitive
um everyone's nerves are
exposed and walking on glasses the well
walking on broken eggshells is the
common phrase to describe WWE locker
room walking on X shells it was I'd like
to hope that it wasn't like that
wouldn't be so much like that
now um but it's hard to think that it
wouldn't
be when everything has such high stakes
you know and so much money behind
it you know there will always be
pressure always there will always
be uh deception there will always be
lies and there will always be politics
and there will always be you know
nepotism there will always be just all
this stuff and that's that's that's the
business that's the business you know
so when people have a clearer idea of
that especially going in I think they're
they're definitely more you know more
suited to to navigate through
it um where you know when I got there at
23 it just felt like such an
accomplishment just to get there that
uh I really allowed that that fantasy to
kind of wash over my my sense of I don't
want to say my sense of judgment but
just just very naive ah man I just broke
my [ __ ] pen um
very hoping that
we're all in the promised land like why
can't like we we're all we're all
winning here we're all we've all made it
we're all successful like yeah raw here
you know what I mean like but
that's as I would find is that's not
enough that's not enough you know
success you know I think Napoleon was
quoted success is very fleeting you know
it's success is
fleeting and when that's what you put
all your stock
into uh it can it can end up in a bit of
a Swiss cheese live you know and
you're it's a tough thing to navigate uh
it can
be you know so very grateful very kind
interview that's nice for them to say
that's cool we worked hard with those
guys yeah Conrad went on the say and I'm
paraphrasing them but because you did
have such a long title run obviously for
tag teams us were the best there but he
asked Bruce if there was anyone who was
pushing for us in I guess management or
in the booking committee and he said um
he said of course there was people
pushing for him because it's one of the
re one of the reasons why were Champions
um who do you think he might possibly be
referring to who who did you get the
feeling was pushing for you as
Champions pat pat Harrison's always
huge
um champion of ours Tony
Gia Steve
K
Dean
AR I think Mike retunda
doesn't I don't know if he's actually a
real
person
um like
zero just Z zero
emotion right like
just
IRS IRS is the most charismatic you'd
ever seen him I mean like yeah I don't I
mean I got along fine with Mike but
just
nothing nothing like no no hint of
opinion no hint of flavor
no no
nothing right
uh but uh who
else maybe after Michael Hayes saw us in
the shower he might have been a a
champion of ours
for for a short short hot
minute um trying of think of who else I
mean Steamboat absolutely one of my
favorite pictures yeah when I
eventually write my
book in
crayon uh will be uh you know it'll be
90% pictures and 10%
story it just be a flip
book that sounds like an awesome book to
make yeah right why not it'll be a popup
book uh but one of the pictures I'll
post in that is a candid that I took
when I the day I dropped the title The
Cruiserweight title on
velocity uh was Ricky Steamboat and he
was
like did you get a picture with the belt
I like what do you mean he's like you're
gonna want another picture with the BT I
was like okay and there's a picture in
the locker room and I'm in my gear with
my tassels on my legs and I'm holding
the cruiserweight title trying to look
like a proud Champion knowing that I'm
about to lose the damn thing and he's
taking a picture with a with a
