Hi guys, I'm Adam Wilborn from Whatculture. Very pleased to say I'm joined now by the

0:12.6

end of you a world heavyweight champion and a legend that is Nick Olis. Nick, thank

0:17.2

you so much for taking this time. Chats was today.

0:19.1

Thank you. I think legend might be a tad of a stretch, but certainly doing my best

0:25.3

to try to get there in the end. Well, what, 950 odd days this as champion is, is a hell

0:30.5

of an achievement. But we're here to talk about you defending that title, of course,

0:34.3

at one hour shadows fall this Sunday, the sixth of June against Trevor Murdoch. It's

0:38.4

going to be live on pay-per-view on fight, of course, Trevor Murdoch winning that 14-man

this other guy who's the blue collar working man's hero. It's a tale as old as time. We

1:35.6

certainly haven't reinvented the wheel, but it just works and I love it. And when you

1:43.4

get a guy who's talented as Trevor who had such an instant chemistry with and we both fully

1:54.4

understand our strengths and weaknesses and how people perceive us, we both have, I believe,

1:59.6

anyway, a good degree of self-awareness which is vitally important to telling a credible

2:06.5

story and bookings of credible angles. I never believe in trying to swim upstream with

2:14.8

anything. At this point, I've been in the wrestling business for 16 years, I've been

2:27.6

subjected to my fair share of online criticism and it's like you develop a pretty thick skin
