Former WWF Light Heavyweight champion. He's, of course, Scottie-Tahler, aka Scott Garland. Welcome to the two-man power trip. How are you doing? How are you doing, John? Yeah, doing pretty good. What's been going on in your world? I know you're very, very busy. |
| 1:44.2 | Yeah, it's been awesome, dude. It's been overwhelmingly busy. Overwhelmingly good. Like, I had no idea it was going to be this good. You know, I'd asked around, see what I thought I could do back in the independence and working for myself. it seemed like it was really hot out there and I saw guys like, you know, Matt Cardone |
| 2:03.8 | and those guys like killing it after they left WWE and they looked like they were having fun. |
| 2:08.6 | And I've been pretty open, you know, I'm 48 years old, so realistic that I know that I only have a few years left |
| 2:15.6 | where I can go to the degree that I want to be able to go at, you know? |
| 2:19.8 | So I thought now is the time to do it. It's either now or never. |
| 2:25.6 | So, dude, it's been crazy. |
| 2:27.9 | I was just, I have a UK tour coming up in March, London, Wales, Scotland, back to England, and then finish up in Ireland. |
| 2:38.5 | It's 12 days on books straight, solid, with at least one thing, sometimes two things a day. |
| 2:45.3 | And I don't know if I worked that kind of schedule with WWI and then if I ever worked 12 days and around. I'm sure I did, but this is a whole like, you know, seminars, between seminars, |

| 3:06.6 | you are busy. |
| 3:08.4 | I am, but I also, I don't think I took into the account of, |
| 3:13.3 | I took into account the, how much the coaching at the Performance Center part |
| 3:18.9 | would play into the seminar bookings, I think. |
| 3:21.3 | You know, so for promoter, for me, for a promoter to contact me and say, hey, I want to use you for a show, I give them a price, and then I go, and I'll also come in and I'll do a seminar, you know, two hours before doors open. It's kind of a no-brainer, and it's a win-win for both of us, you know, And to be honest with you, like when seminars were just |
| 3:41.7 | kind of coming around, I think, when I went to WWE and I did a few and I didn't really enjoy them. Um, because I was never, I never went to a wrestling school.
