Summary

Eric Young (@TheEricYoung) is a professional wrestler currently signed to TNA Wrestling. He sits down with Chris Van Vliet at West Coast Creative Studio in Hollywood to discuss his time in TNA and winning the World Championship twice, trying out for WWE early in his career and not getting signed, being part of Team Canada, his role as a comedy wrestler, signing with WWE and his work in Sanity, getting called up without the rest of the group and what went wrong on the main roster, returning to WWE for a second time and nearly being aligned with Bray Wyatt, why he thinks he will retire in TNA, a scary incident where it looked like he might lose his ear and more! Quote I'm thinking about: "People quit when things get hard because the thought of something being hard forever is unbearable. But nothing hard last forever. You either quit, it gets easier or you get harder. No matter what, it always ends. But you only lose when you quit before you see it through." - Alex Hormozi Complete this survey for your chance to win $500: https://bluewirepods.com/survey Sponsors: VUORI: Get 20% off your first purchase!

0:00.0	Chris Ban Fleet! Oh yeah welcome back to another one here on Insight. I'm CBV Chris Fan Fleet and there's a lot of wrestling
0:27.2	podcasts out there. So thank you for choosing to spend some time with us here right now on this one and thank you for making
0:34.1	insight the number one wrestling podcast on the planet if you haven't yet slap a
0:39.4	sharpshooter on that follow button on Spotify or Apple Podcasts or wherever you're listening right now.
0:46.0	Man, I love Eric Young, and it was so great having him in the studio to catch up.
0:51.0	We go way back, way way back to when I checked out his wrestling school called
0:57.0	Russellplex Ontario in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, back when I was still in university. I think we're going back to 2003 with that
1:06.2	one. And when you think about TNA, Eric's one of those guys who was there for all of it. And he did all of it.
1:13.7	2004 to 2016, and then he was there again,
1:17.1	2020 to 2022, and then returned again last year.
1:20.5	He lives and breathes and eats and sleeps TNA and he pointed it out during this
1:27.4	conversation but I never really thought of it this way he was a comedy act
1:31.0	for so many years of his career that it really preserved his body.
1:34.7	Not taking bumps for like nine years I think it was.
1:38.4	And that's why he's able to go like he still can go at 45 or 44 almost 45 years old. Love Eric Young. I love seeing all the
1:48.2	success that he's had in TNA and also the success that he had with sanity and
1:52.8	W. W. W. W. He's got a new show that he's hosting on access TV
1:56.1	called vinyl obsession where he talks to celebrities and musicians
1:59.6	about their love of vinyl.
2:01.4	It debuts October 6th, so this is the perfect time to have him back on to talk a little
2:06.9	rasselin and talk a little music as well. Snap a screenshot and let us know that you're
2:12.4	listening and tag us.
