Let's get into the first of these two interviews with Kyle O'Reilly welcome back to my mom's basement ladies and gentlemen it is Robbie Fox and I am here with one of my favorite current wrestlers on the NXT roster one of my favorite current wrestlers in the world I would say Kyle I've been following your career a very long time I was at final battle 2013 I was at final battle 2016 where you actually took on Adam Cole which is very timely for this interview and your battle of Los Angeles win is still my all time favorite as far as big.

So this is very cool to have you on the show thank you for being here oh wow man what a blast from the past that's so cool thank you for saying that man you've been there for a lot of my biggest moments so really cool to chat with you today and one of those big moments as I mentioned was final battle 2016 against Adam Cole you have a match coming up against Adam Cole July 6th is going to be on NXT you've wrestled him so many times now what's the most important thing is that you're going to be on NXT.

What's the secret to keeping it fresh I feel like I speak for many when I say we never get tired of seeing it.

So this is just about proving who the better in ring competitor is so you know our last match was on sanction there was no rules throw everything out the window now you know we have to play within a certain rules set and I don't think any of us will stray from that because if we beat each other by breaking the rules and what did we really prove so this is just about proving who the best

wrestler who the better technician is and looking forward to the great American batch.

Do you enjoy being put in that rule set or do you enjoy the unsanctioned style almost the final battle 2016 style where you could go balls to the walls and just throw everything at the crowd.

For me I think I'm better suited in a traditional pro wrestling sort of environment I think my style suits that well I've had most of my success under those rules but that said it's it's cool and fun to be able.

You know to do that on sanction match to do those crazy gritty violent matches because it's just it's it's different and it it's a cool opportunity to show you versatility as a performer when you get to think outside the box and do a different type of match whether it's.

You know a ladder match tables match on sanction match whatever that may be it's it's fun and a rare opportunity just to do something different but I think i'm better suited as a traditional wrestler well speaking of your style I would love to talk about the origins of that you have a very martial arts influence in your style you're striking is different than we see from a lot of wrestlers it's just very unique did you have that in your mindset like how early did you have that in your mindset that you wanted to.

Incorporate that into your moves that as a wrestler well it's interesting that you know I can watch your favor to go back and watch a lot of my early matches.

It was a lot more traditional pro wrestling in terms of offense and defense but i would try to do things that were martial arts influence martial arts influence whether that's an arm bar or around house kick but.

But at that point I didn't actually train so watching it it looks a little off like it didn't have the snap or the actual correct footwork or the actual correct mechanics and and leverage to perform the technique properly so once I started training I noticed these things were translating a lot better into my pro wrestling and and my timing got better my footwork got better my in ring cardio.

Increased through this and I notice okay there's some real changes happening.

In my pro wrestling through through training to get to and through training more time keep boxing.
