All right, so I've said this quite often about coming AWs. I got a chance to meet and work

0:19.8

with a lot of guys that I don't know a lot about. And Prince Nana is here. And I've heard

0:26.3

your name for such a long time. And then obviously when Tony first got a ring of honor, you started

0:31.9

coming around. And I was like, who is this guy? And then seeing your work and kind of being around

0:36.4

you a little bit more. It's very kind of a long history, very intriguing character here.

0:41.6

So kind of tell us how we got lost to discuss, but how have you, how did you end up in AW in the first

0:48.8

place? Well, it Chris number one. Thank you for having me on your podcast. This is what the number one

0:53.9

podcast on the podcast network. We're going to say that number one. Number one in the world.

0:58.7

But it's crazy because AW was a company that was kind of birthed, if you will, through ROH at that

1:08.2

particular point in time. So that first all-in show obviously I wasn't a part of that show. We

1:13.6

wanted to be a part of it, but history was made the years went by. And I was beginning to kind of

1:33.2

or if I was going to try and get a job somewhere else doing something else. Luckily, I, you know,

1:38.6

touched base with a couple of good friends, homicide, Carrie Soak, and CD, and also Nick Buck.

1:47.4

And these guys encouraged me. They were like, listen, you know, there may not be an opportunity right

1:52.0

now. But, you know, keep doing your thing. Go out there. Try to get some, you know, local

1:57.2

bookings, some national bookings and just get your embassy thing going again. And I took their

2:02.2

advice. I did it. I did one dark match. It was like a try-up match in New York City with two,

2:10.0

you know, local guys. It went well. Six months later, Chris, it's six months. I was like, I'm done.

2:17.9

There's no going back to AW. I did, that was my little trinket. And then I'm in my basement.

2:24.9
