Today, my guest here on a Steve Austin show is none other than Samoa Joe, Samoa.

How are you?

I'm fantastic, man.

That's quite an intro, man.

I feel very honored right now.

Dude, where are you calling from today? We're sitting in Los Angeles. I know you come from Huntington Beach out here, but where are you out right now? Yeah, actually, we just shipped it over. It's at school time, so we're back out here in our East Coast base in Tampa. And, yeah, we try to stay in Cali half the year and out here in Florida half the year, but we're back out here in Florida.

Dude, I've been watching a ton of your matches starting last night, and, of course, I follow you on Twitter and vice versa.

And you can follow Joe at Twitter, too, at Samoa Joe, and put over your work several times.

And, dude, when I was talking to you a couple of times before we, uh, started talking

about doing this show, I said, man, who trained you?

And you mentioned the cat named Cincinnati Red.

I had not heard of Cincinnati Red.

Now, is he from Cincinnati or is he from Cleveland?

Tell me about this cat.

No, he's from, uh, the San Fernando Valley out in California.

Of course. Parts unknown.

He's one of those journeyman pro wresters that, you know, made his loans out there on the

team that did a lot of work down in Mexico and then back and forth.

And because of that, you know, he had a lot of Lucha training,

had a lot of different training.
