And and you more or less originate to learn every varied and what the the targets are for a network or the league and you commence to more or less kick the tires on what’s it going to price what’s it going to search bask in and then surely the pandemic hit and everyone's funds everyone our bask in our means to perceive what's on the horizon after we're going.
To cease displays and issues we had no belief so then everything more or less hits a velocity bump and you then more or less rebuild the momentum as other folks compile more tickled with what's on the horizon beyond the pandemic or as the pandemic will get more or less as manageable as that it’s good to perchance take into consideration you know given the instances we're below so it's been.
A dinky bit bit of a gallop and to perceive vice develop out its presence with darkish aspect of the ring and how tremendous of a success it's been now the the logical subsequent step is to compile a block of programming and like the exact wrestling league featured and we're very tickled and honored to be uh on that main voyage with them.
So um what cease you look going forward so a ways as a working relationship with vice is there uh plans for more specials are we is it more or less a wait-and-look means yeah everything's on the table uh you know we we’re having conversations with vice we're speaking with a bunch of alternative folks because to me the thing you bask in to love.

Uh ought to you take a study bask in ecw they had one deal when that deal collapsed it became once the kind of lickety-split snowball down the hill that became an avalanche for the league for us it's truly crucial to search at the pie and content good ample there's english rights in linear and in poke there's spanish correct in english or in linear and in streaming so i are making an strive to be in a role to reduce.
Up that pie as much as i will to squeeze as much juice out of it and like as many discussions that i as i will like there's discussions about actuality programming there's discussions about are residing specials or discussions about uh chase-off displays there's this you know the weekly displays there's a great deal of stuff in english and spanish so i'm having all those.
Conversations and and you know we're tickled to perceive the build we plot terminate this we're furious to perceive the build we plot terminate this recommendation as we explore every every avenue we are in a position to that's my that's my accountability in my you know working this thing i bought to discuss with everyone yeah and you've bought a mountainous match coming up on uh fightland you've bought.
Uh hammerstone uh uh alex hammerstone defending the national over uh openweight title i'm sorry um yeah hammerstone defending the national commence week title uh in opposition to jacob full ii the mlw head world heavyweight champion titled for title um what’s that desire to provide one thing bask in.
That away on free tv as in opposition to doing that on a pay-per-perceive effectively i've consistently believed i point on the market's one thing vince taught me uh you generally are making an strive to provide your fans price and so when i believe that it's bask in i are making an strive to provide the fans basically the most i will for the least amount and that's the means you construct your audience.
That's how they know that you just're no longer making an strive to bask in compile every dime out of the fan and exploit them especially in times bask in this we're you know recovering from some reasonably reasonably provocative times many of us lost their job i are making an strive to provide fans our perfect match in history and be in a role to provide it to max amount and selfishly keep it in front of basically the most.
Amount of eyes as i will vises that resolution and in squawk that it's a gargantuan scenario because we wished to cease one thing with tremendous and noisy for vice and after we were speaking about i'm having a take a study what my notes are it's this lend a hand to hammerstone that's it and that's a match that i talked to both patoon hammerstone about february 2020 appropriate.
Right here is the build i'm going and it's gonna be with hammer a success the war revolt which became once slated for july 2020 in philadelphia i had no belief when the pandemic hit it could well perchance be that broad of a lengthen i believed effectively 12 18 weeks perchance and as i went on we observed how the sector you know the plot everything went and so.
A year later we're restful taking a look and tracking for that and then we we stuck with our concept we the means i form everything is when i like a concept i keep on with it unless now we need to name an audible thanks to break the fans don't plot terminate to one thing nonetheless otherwise i truly am very tremendous on lengthy-term booking and that became once a match they both knew they.
Knew the outcome they knew everything nearly two years within the past now so yeah we stuck to our weapons on that we appropriate had a vacillating schedule thanks to everything that took standing on this planet and we had a tread warder doing empty area displays nonetheless now that we're lend a hand it's it's 200 miles per hour yeah yeah it's uh and vice tv they've.
truly turn out to be a player already uh within the respectable wrestling standing with the darkish aspect of the ring now you'll be you'll be on correct after that so no longer most effective cease they compile cease fans compile the probability to locate darkish aspect of the ring a new episode that comprises johnny canine nonetheless afterwards they compile to perceive this mountainous world title match.
Title versus title the winner will they be defending the title simultaneously will the winner be defending every person separately how is that going to work and what's the matchmaker cesar duran going to notify about it these are all exact questions that ought to you tune into fusion.
Alpha after wrestle land within the weeks forward you'll compile some clarity on nonetheless they will be answered all correct uh it’s good to even be promoter uh it’s good to even be you're also going to be debuting a really ordinary feature uh for the length of wrestle land uh mlw embedded and i i'm like the glory to be a segment of that um.
I truly like no longer seen the leisure bask in this sooner than on a respectable wrestling hiss the build it more or less opens everything up uh please hiss to our listeners uh what exactly right here’s so yeah gargantuan quiz it's we're gonna you know for 25 years or so now you've had the same layout in wrestling same layout it's one hour two hour three hour.
Model of it nonetheless of path everyone all my competitors collectively with myself like former the same layout and it's equivalent to you’re thinking that relating to the 70s and how the evolution of wrestling modified from searching at it uh in that abilities and you return and locate within the wwe network or peacock or.
Wherever on youtube and you then take a study how developed into the 80s and how the 80s model developed into the 90s model than wreck tv and then it became all yet again or less appropriate stopped evolving and you take a study wrestling and fans admire gargantuan wrestling fits they admire searching at the angles they admire searching at all that nonetheless at the same time.
They're consistently on their phone after they're searching at it and they're taking a look what basically the most traditional gossip most traditional data is that they’re attempting to grab that so the bustle for food we cease learn and look what's trending what's attention-grabbing it's all rooted in additional or less bask in accessing and having data and vivid what basically the most traditional data is the.
Newest goss of everything you bask in to need to compile that instantaneously and wrestling hasn't truly gone there and promoters i deem are unhappy because you ought to lend a hand an eye on that you just bask in to need to lend a hand an eye on to discover to lend a hand an eye on everything after we were speaking recommendation and more or less.
Spitballing what shall we cease somewhat otherwise and how they lean into the kind of data memoir path with their program i mentioned effectively i'm the kind of data junkie for wrestling and everything i deem we ought to we ought to cross there and appropriate give total autonomy to the opposite folks doing that segment allow them to focus on.
What they’re attempting to focus on what are the topics what are the experiences they are able to break and if it's about one other league that's shapely i deem it's attention-grabbing and if more other folks are going to locate us thanks to that i'm no longer i'm no longer nervous of that ought to to discover if somebody will get signed we’re making an strive to grab about it if some.
Companies on the market we ought to grab about it we’re making an strive to hear basically the most traditional from you guys so having the pause journalists within the game speaking about i deem is attention-grabbing i deem fans are making an strive to perceive what that is so more or less bask in for the length of an nba sport you return to the studios in atlanta and on tnt and locate shaq and barkley focus on no longer appropriate the game.
Itself nonetheless break down the gradual experiences and focus on it that's what we're going to be doing right here it's more or less bask in our halftime hiss and we'll be speaking in regards to basically the most traditional experiences or i ought to claim it’s good to perchance be i like nothing to cease with it i will be on a panel i know uh i don't no longer no longer to provide away too much nonetheless one of many topics we're going to be broaching.
Is the synthetic of wwe being positioned on sale yeah it's a gargantuan topic and one which's truly been coming up this year with all of the free brokers with truly how they've been cleaning up store one of many releases they had became once truly gruesome to me became once ej naduka and he he appropriate he has everything.
And he’ll be working wrestling for mlw how has it been bask in working with ej gargantuan i labored with him on saturday and sunday he's he's a can-cease guy uh amazing in phrases of his his solutions-plot and his mindset on everything you couldn't keep a quiz to for a more inch.
Outlook uh he's very executed and he became once drafted within the nfl he became once an ibff bodybuilder and became once truly lickety-split learner in wwe in accordance to chums over there so how they would let what i would content a first round draft opt appropriate dawdle out or you know elect to you know of path wave them.
Is crazy to me nonetheless yeah you know at the same time as the firm that took about a appears to be at full two took about a appears to be at hammerstone and mentioned whats up yeah we're no longer going to signal these guys and ever since i signed it it's comic how every promoter desires to signal these guys i appropriate like a real portion of having these guys and they admire mlw i point out i deem segment of.
That's because right here’s the machine the build they've and and there's a respect and a sense of comfort in that good ample these guys bought me they gave me my shot and i truly became once in a role to flourish right here yeah uh ought to you like so many free brokers hitting the market bask in correct now you.
Be pleased so many within the market what’s that path of bask in i point out you ought to be getting calls regularly i point out what are you making an strive to search out ought to you're bringing in abilities to mlw effectively you know i consistently can like five to 10 p.c of my my roster that i will consistently sever out appropriate free of price brokers you strive them and you know that perchance.
There's no longer longevity there both thanks to monetary reasons alternatives for them on the horizon or inventive reasons for me i appropriate bask in this thing has about two to 3 match more or less relationship and and how we construct this and generally you return and you'll signal those guys or it's appropriate equivalent to you're more or less counting down for that.
That that third match to happen bask in good ample thank god we're executed with that uh and it lets you freshen up the cardboard you don't know generally guys you compile are gargantuan generally guys attain in are making an strive to hiss one which they're no longer an and they they cease a gargantuan job and varied times bask in wow no that guy's an uh so that you just appropriate don't know what you're.
Going to compile till you compile it and so having that flexibility for us provides us new sleek match-united states of americait permits us to shake up the cardboard and inform in somebody with a generally they're coming off of you know an incredible tv uh time so it permits us to love uh appropriate one thing varied a varied dynamic to the hiss.
With that mentioned you take a study the the the abilities pool correct now within the free agency put it on the market's it's there's a great deal of guys within the market or guys which like signed in other areas that aren't 100 absorbing so that you just like these attention-grabbing issues that it’s good to perchance take a study and content perchance we ought to strive it out um and and that's what we did this past.
Weekend even with guys bask in bobby fish he's a free agent we tried him out now we like a verbal attain in from him to cease about a more displays and if it works you know whats up perchance we'll cease more if it doesn't whats up you understand it became once a real we had a real speed we had an substitute to love them within the opera cup frosty so that you just generally desire that.
Flexibility you don't are making an strive to love the kind of inflexible thing the build your roster is locked it's the same guys and the same fits and they're appropriate varied angles to lend a hand it going wwe for Two decades has generally provided that i deem struggle is thrilling because varied mlw and varied companies are giving you one thing varied.
Honest you mentioned bobby fish also lee mariah d um are guys that are wrestling for both mlw and they're doing somewhat aew dates when ought to you like abilities working for both promotions bask in that is there any dialog uh between you guys in aew or is that appropriate more or less as much as the abilities.

It's more uncomplicated mentioned than executed with some companies nonetheless so a ways truly there's nothing nonetheless inch by job of those those relationships with aew yeah and are there any abilities within the market that it’s good to perchance uh hiss to us that you just uh would desire to bring into mlw effectively let me take a study my board tedious me uh no you understand it.
It's so it's so fluid it's such you know you take a study guys and appropriate sooner than we jumped on i had a i became once having a name with about a of the fellows on our team and we're appropriate having a take a study that it's equivalent to to discover to observe out too the build you don't flood your your firm with too a great deal of these guys and you ought to love a real.
Aim tedious bringing them in it’ll't appropriate be whats up this would perchance pop rate sales or one week of eyes to your product it has to love it more or less has to love that connectivity across the board uh so yeah there's guys that we're having a take a study um you know we're reasonably much at this level i point out we most effective cease one hour tv hiss a week and these these frosty form.
Of special so it's equivalent to you ought to be very cautious because that well-known tv time and to discover guys below contract so how much time cease you like in a 60 minute hiss which with commercials is de facto nearer to forty eight 49 minutes and you’re going to compile two or three fits on that hiss and so it's bask in it's more or less equivalent to you know you’d like more or less a google algorithm from a.
Matchmaking level of perceive to perceive good ample how many guys can we bring in how can we simplest utilize them uh nonetheless there's some guys within the market that are attention-grabbing to us we hear rumors about varied guys and i'm taking a look forward to seeing you guys speaking relating to the free agency topic on embedded because there's there's surely guys within the market and you've.
Heard a great deal of issues relating to the build they're going and then perchance that thing falls apart and you then're bask in effectively the build are they going subsequent so uh you guys are going to provide us the news this thursday recommendation correct yeah yeah recommendation we'll be discussing that and there's a there's there's potentially going to be some.
Breaking data as effectively so surely taking a look forward to that now there's been loads going on with mlw um yeah i'm appropriate gonna i'm appropriate gonna originate hitting you with the questions uh obviously fightline wrestle land correct now the tremendous data uh nonetheless also you no longer too lengthy within the past provided azteca.
Underground and many of us are very ordinary about what it's going to search bask in when it's going to premiere what are you able to hiss us about it effectively as it’s good to perchance hiss bask in i mentioned earlier we're greatly into lengthy-term planning and appropriate the hiss cesar duran started it in january of 2020 and didn't compile.
Published for nearly half of a year and everyone i deem became once bask in oh they're no longer going to compile the louise fernandez gill and no it's bask in no we bought him and we appropriate plot terminate we plot terminate our times with the payoffs we wished to be nuanced we wished we we speak on the past we were teasing that we were coming recommendation for bask in tickled you're bask in oh court docket's fleshy.
Of he consistently typing stuff doesn't speak then we speak so it's bask in we appropriate plot terminate our time with this and for a great deal of reasons and we desire it from a inventive perspective to connect and click on nonetheless also affords plot terminate time and ought to it’s good to perchance formally announce issues plot terminate time so generally i potentially ought to be below a gag notify sooner than i tease or content.
An excessive amount of nonetheless i will content that yeah now we like a great deal of a great deal of plans about a of them are intrepid we're we're hoping to portion more quickly uh and i deem ought to you locate cesar duran and how his character evolves on this planet of mlw the build he generally made a deal the devil by bringing him in and how does that play out it's going to be a real.
It's going to be a real payoff you’re thinking that you just'll originate taking pictures it this year attain on court docket give me one thing you know you know about a of it truly is it's a it's a logistical thing because for me uh i truly want azteca to be filmed in mexico uh there are some logistical hurdles to.
Pull that off from uh the covet pause and and getting other folks to attain lend a hand backward and forward because i will't like it be 100 staffed and executed in mexico so there are some complications that stretch up with that more or less thing nonetheless in my eyes when i look us teca it’s as legit as it’ll compile when it.
Comes to lucha you know i i yeah i deem it’s good to perchance perchance cease it up within the states to some extent nonetheless i truly want the feel of that i point out chicago we've had somewhat bit of that feel ought to you're ought to you after we bring our hiss over to the cicero stadium and that you just'll like the fans with the bull horns and noise makers and surely feels equivalent to you're.
In mexico somewhat bit nonetheless which like is so special so distinctly one thing of mexico that i truly don't are making an strive to appropriate good ample let's appropriate cease it right here since it's somewhat more advanced thanks to covet compliancy issues now we need to cease uh and be to blame about um importing displays is somewhat more sturdy than it became once two years within the past you know our.
Final hiss sooner than we shut down wasn't tijuana and you know the sector modified very hasty and how one country addresses the pandemic versus one other so varied attempting out and be in a role to test in inch areas is more uncomplicated than it’s out of the country so now we like a great deal of issues now we need to more or less navigate to form inch.
We're tickled we're tickled for the abilities we're tickled for the crew their household everyone in doing this and and the closing quiz about uh azteca underground cease you look it having a separate roster from mlw you know what we're seeing or cease you look it being a crossover or you know bask in.
Both displays complement every varied no i deem there's there's a crossover thing you know i deem it has to love its like feel um i i deem in a tremendous world what i bask in is to love it like it's reasonably much its like roster with about a crossovers it's more or less bask in we take a study marvel you know.
You like your your your varied characters in their movies and guardians of the galaxy has an incredible squad yet they popped up within the closing avengers movie in squawk that's more or less how i look is equivalent to you bask in to love that connectivity you bask in to love some crossover nonetheless you don't desire it to be one thing that after i became once at wwe we had raw versus.
Smackdown and then ecw you when issues bought unfamiliar and all of a surprising u.s.a. wished three hours it's bask in good ample we're appropriate gonna bring everyone to throw on raw and you appropriate you appropriate broke down that that barricade and once that once the genie is out of the bottle the specialty of having these two inch.
Shows truly begins to love be a difficulty so i haven't gone via that sooner than i truly and in addition it's appropriate i deem in mexico the more it's appropriate truly authentically lucha the upper the products will be obtained by the fans searching at it in mexico many of the american abilities even they're extremely.
Proficient and proficient going down there and making an strive to connect with that audience goes to be no longer easy they want their simplest fighting their simplest uh if i strive to shoehorn in some some guys which like a gargantuan act up right here uh it's no longer basically transferable south of the border yeah.
Yet another valuable share of data that broke no longer too lengthy within the past became once uh it’s good to perchance be introducing the girls's featherweight championship uh what are you able to hiss us relating to the girls's featherweight match and when can we look forward to that uh becoming a beginning to air.
So the first featherweight bat will be this uh wednesday on alpha uh which is in a role to air 24 hours sooner than wrestle land free of price on youtube worldwide and then on saturdays on bn and so we'll like willow nightingale versus ashley vox no i deem it's gonna be an incredible wrestle the the thing that i deem is required about having illustration is.
It's i deem it's more or less anti it's more or less our case to notify good ample we're appropriate gonna like a girls's division i wished to be on the same level as the males's division that means a pair of weight lessons appropriate bask in we cease with the middleweight title the openweight championship and naturally the heavyweight championship so we're starting with the featherweight.
Championship which i deem other folks don't realize in wrestling since it's been a weight class for 100 years and boxing and it's a thing within the ufc it's bask in these are exact weight lessons it's no longer a gimmick name it's a weight class so there's a scenario the build we cease the featherweight division and then perchance we build an atom weight.
Division perchance build a middleweight division for the girls nonetheless does this content now we like one appropriate a girls's division feels equivalent to you know one thing out of the 50s correct effectively uh that's there's.
Let me i bought another quiz right here um would you need to work with varied companies outdoors of mlws especially because you you've you know so many um so many susceptible mlw stars bask in mjf brian pillman jr dan lambert are truly segment of the aw roster would you um would you be commence to.
A uh more of a working relationship with somebody bask in an aew effectively you know we it became once comic i became once having a rush hunting i mentioned to somebody in our locker room yeah the build else are you gonna like uh you flip correct and dawdle five toes you like the booker from all japan respectable wrestling into jiri you flip left to cross no longer a ways away there's the.

Had gargantuan relationships with varied companies and i deem you take a study every person you strive to determine if there's a real fit if there's an casual thing it’s good to perchance cease and then making an strive to navigate from a home level of perceive which is more sturdy how does it work because you know you're generally inviting tortious interference.
You're asserting attain on over and that becomes more or less a recruitment path of so it's it's and it's it's equivalent to you generally plot that in motion yourself so it's a really delicate thing on the content aspect level how cease you cease it how much trust you like and then having a take a study the tracker for diverse companies how's it labored out for them after they commence that.
Door does it lead to one thing the build uh the tide rises all ships or is it one thing the build inch ships upward push and the opposite folks on those ships rush to the more than a few ship and and then they content oh wait adios you know and they also you bask in to need to form inch your abilities is is is featured in a means that's that's in accordance to what you're making an strive to search out out of it and.

Of the fans which like taken that gallop you bask in to need to form inch that those fans are getting you know their guys been being represented the means they want them to be represented i'm the guardian and steward of that for them and so i need to observe out with that and that's a path of and it's a trust path of and they’ve targets on the more than a few.
Aspect and you appropriate it's very advanced to form that mesh and at the pause you both content that labored out gargantuan for us you bask in to love that that's the unbiased uh and appropriate takes time and construct a relationship it's a bit a courtship it's a bit a more or less a feeling out path of i deem i'm consistently commence to it it's appropriate a subject of how does it work.
