We're going in the show right now. He's making his return to rampage tonight in AEW. He is the murder hawk monster. He is Lance Ercher joining us on a false count anywhere Friday. What's up, Lance?

What's up guys? You're doing alright? Yes. We're thriving. We're surviving. We're surviving. We're talking. We're talking a lot.

What was that? He said he's surviving. I said just because you don't have a match with me otherwise. I'm not taking the call. I'm not showing up. I don't want no smoke with the murder hawk monster.

It's literally it lands. If I was to wrestle you, I will just lay in the middle of the ring for you to pin me. You'd be like, yeah, just figure out what to do. I surrender.

Some of the stuff that I've seen live on on TV when I was gone and you know, and you and you and you Japan and stuff.

Let's talk about this. Let's talk about somebody because of his size. People don't see like all the things that he can do. This man is talented as heck, man.

Talented.

We'll much appreciate it. Much appreciate it. No, you know, you know how I feel about you, Lance. Like you can be scary. You can have the best, you know, braids and you buy by the way they look amazing. I didn't tell you.

I like them. I was like, oh, they fresh. You know, you are so well rounded with professional wrestling. I mean, tell us why you didn't just do that typical like I'm a big man. I'm just going to do a boot and, you know, big, big slam and you're out like, what made you what made you be so, you know, have a different hybrid version of what a big man should look like.

Right. Well, I mean, I think you know, the business has changed a lot. They always changes. And if you don't change with it, you become still old and obsolete.

That's the one thing that I've tried to do is not become old, still and obsolete in the business that's ever changing. And, you know, our fan base is changing in the way.

So, you know, I think all the best in the business and I'd love to be considered one of the best in the business, especially when I'm done is that I was able to adapt with the times and keep moving forward and to never just be an atypical big man.

But to do stuff and make people go, okay, damn, what the hell did I just see from this dude who I'm not supposed to see that from.

And then want to see more, you know, because I think that's the key with co-resting fans from the beginning of time, and especially now as you've got to make them want to see more.

And so that's what I hope to do each and every time I go out there. But I still like to bring a little carnage with me in a way that a big man is supposed to so.

Yeah.
