Summary

Pineapple Pete aka Suge D aka Sugar Dunkerton made a fortuitous choice when he threw his pineapple Hawaiian shirt into his overnight bag before his last-minute trip to Atlanta for the AEW TV tapings. His extra spot turned into a spotlight match with Le Champion, and became one of the breakout angles of AEW’s taped, empty-arena shows! And now Suge D and Jericho are telling the whole story of how this spontaneous story came to be, including the importance of Pineapple Pete’s promo, and deliberate quickness of the in-ring match. Suge D is also a veteran wrestler of the indie scene who spent a few years working in England. He’s telling those tales and offering some great words of wisdom and inspiration for all those pursuing their dreams!

0:13.5	Welcome to TALK IS CHERICO. It's the part of Thunder Rock and Roll today. We have the inside
0:18.5	story of pineapple peat, courtesy of Sugdee. Sugger Dunkertinnis here. You hear the story
0:24.4	of how he ended up at AEW and in the ring with Lushampion. He lets you hear the story
0:28.6	of his wrestling career. He's a 16 year vet. He's been working in the Indy scene in England
0:32.9	and here in the States for many years. He was actually able to come to Atlanta for the AEW
0:37.2	show tapings just before everything got locked down because of the coronavirus. He couldn't
0:41.6	travel to England so that ended up being a little bit of a silver lining. So Sugdee,
0:46.4	A.K.A. pineapple peat is telling his Cinderella story. And thanks to all of you who joined me for
0:51.6	the shoot on the stadium stampede on the Saturday night special. Shootin' on the stadium stampede,

1:00.8	And I'm looking forward to doing it again this Saturday 9 p.m. Eastern on Facebook Live

1:19.9	YouTube channel of Chris Jericho. Alright, we got to get to Sugdee, pineapple peat, AEW dynamite,
1:26.7	telling his story starting now. So one of the cool things about the COVID era, the pandemic
1:36.8	era, there's been a lot of highlights for AEW, stadium stampede and kind of all the different things
1:41.9	we've done. But one of the kind of the stars, a breakout star is in a lot of ways but also one
1:49.4	that you wouldn't expect, unexpected of course is the rise of the illustrious pineapple peat,
1:53.9	AK sugar dunker tin. Which is funny because had this COVID thing not happened, we wouldn't be sitting
2:00.7	here today. How do you feel about the last few weeks, month, how it's been?
