Paid for by Netza. Everything. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another Monday episode of the No Contest Wrestling Podcast. I am the heel that you love to hate, O'Shea Jackson Jr., aka Petty Guerrero. Hey, yo, it's me, it's me, it's the TOO, that J-I-G-G, two-jigger.
TJ Jefferson. And TJ, we got a lot to talk about today, man. We got guests for us, man. You know, folks that want to hear us yapping, I said we get right to the guests today. Let's do it.
You know, the guests that we have are one of the most exciting tag teams that we've seen in the WWE in quite some time. The athleticism, the chemistry in and out the ring. They so in tune that their favorite football teams even got the same initials. They are four-time tag team champions off the main roster and NXT. They are the smoke bringers synonymous with the solo cups.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Street Profits are on their contest.
Well, is it one place? Oh, what a treat. What a treat. We've been wanting these cats for a minute since we kicked this whole thing off. Street Profits was on the list.
We appreciate y'all having us. Making a ton of time. Thank you for having us. Are you kidding? Absolutely, man.
Now, we got a couple of questions that we. Ask everybody who's on for the first time on no contest because It's questions that we are dying to know from every wrestler we talk to, okay?
So I need to know from both of y'all, when did you get bit by that wrestling bug? And can y'all tell me y'all welcome to wrestling moment? The moment where you were like, all right, yeah, this is what I'm doing for the rest of my life. Uh shoot. The wrestling bug.
I mean, I say I caught it when I got recruited out of college. Got recruited, tried out, and then it was just one of those things where I got tired of doing homework, and this provided me that opportunity to get out of school and stop doing homework. That was when I caught the wrestling bug there, and then my welcome to wrestling moment. Trumpo! Man, you know what?
I gotta say, the first time I went outside the country, like, it was Download Festival 2016. Um We went there and like there for 10 days. For the European tour and it was like the dopest thing I've ever seen in my life And it was just like, oh, I get to do this and I've been doing this ever since. Man, that's beautiful, dog.
So, how am I supposed to follow that up, man? Like, you told searching. A very passionate story about your wrestling bug, man. No, but I got, I think I caught the wrestling bug when I was probably like, maybe like eight years old. And I always tell everybody the godfather was the first person I actually seen when I was watching the wrestling, flipping through the channels.
And I seen this cat with like these bright green pants on, his purple vests and everything. And I'm seeing all these different color signs in the crowd. And, you know, back then, Godfather had an entourage with him. He sure did. A couple of nice people.
He had an entourage with him. And it was a party.
So like his entourage would accompany him to the ring. Like he go do his thing and then they would go leave out. And I thought it was the craziest thing ever. And that's like what like really first like drawn me in, like just seeing like a cool environment like that. But my first welcome to wrestling moment would probably have to be.
Man, I remember we first won the tag team championships in Barclays. Barclays was kind of like, like we was already doing a lot of stuff before then, but I feel like that was the first time we did something on like, you know, the main roster or the grand scheme of things. And, you know, it was a new building. And it was like literally the same year that, you know, COVID took off, but like, it was like the first. Like Maine Plateau, me and Docs did together.
So I thought that was cool. And then the crowd just, you know, Barclays crowd as always, man, just wow. That's what's up.
Now, Tez specifically, now you're former, and is it former? Once a Marine, always a Marine, I'm assuming. Right, right, right.
So, yeah, you know, in case they had to call me in, you know, I'm still fully trained.
Now, I saw that you accumulated a perfect 300 score in the Marines physical fitness test. I got to imagine that's not really easy to do.
So, can you tell us a little bit about what that test entailed? Oh, so the the every year the the Marines run a uh performance fitness test and you have to run three miles. To get 100%, you have to run to three miles in less than like 18 minutes. I used to like hit mine like around at least like in 16, 16 and a halves. To get 100% on pull-ups, you had to do like more than like 20 dead hang ones.
And then you had to hit like a certain amount of sit-ups in a certain period of time. And so just every year, I would just max out on everything. And I think that just came from like just doing track cross country. When I was in high school, like. That was like one of the main sports I did before I graduated.
So I was just so used to running.
So like, you know, I just go there and just, you know, I ain't trying to make it seem like it was easy, but, you know, I was just, I've just been running my whole life. My whole life, I've been running. My whole life, bro, I've been running. And you can see I just been running. But no, I just, I just always just took pride and just staying in shape too, man.
Just because like, you know, even with wrestling, like, man, the worst thing is like you out there and you get tired, you know?
So like, I think I just always just didn't like being tired.
So yeah. Oh good tired. I'm a rain though. I stay tired. I stay tired.
I stay tired. I need some rest right now. All right.
Now, you spoke about a little bit. About that first time when in on the main roster. Bringing that gold in. Mao. I know there's a bit of a story about how you guys became a tag team.
We're going to get to that. But talk about what it felt like. Being a tag team that came together the way that y'all did. And winning the titles on the main. What was that like going home, head on the pillow, tag team champions of the world in a top company in the world?
Oh, it was dope. I mean, shoot, bro. You know what I'm saying? Once we go in those titles, our pockets got bigger. You know what I'm saying?
The pockets started getting fat. You know, the wallet getting a little happy, the lips. You know what I'm saying? Every time I felt like I was looking on my wallet, I was hitting a couple sets of curls along with it.
So that pay window, man. They say that pay window is nice when you win. Yeah.
So. What about you, Tez, that first night? finally did it, on the main roster. Yeah, it's just like, you know, you start reflecting back on like all the miles you drove like for the NXT loops and you know doing the small crowds and doing like all the road shows and like getting yourself used to like the audience and them getting used to you and like you know the hardships or whether you're trying to like gain weight, lose weight, you're training or just trying to just learn this craft as a whole. And you do something like that, it's not just like you celebrating, winning the title, but it's like the company trusting you like, hey, you, you guys are the guys right now.
Like we trusting y'all to like make this tag team division like special and to put more eyes on it and like to have a good show.
So it was just like not just us celebrating, but like, you know, like a resurgence of like, you know, hey, they, they see us, you know, they trust us.
So it's, it's, it's, it's good on both ends. What's the story of y'all? For those who don't know, what's the story of the street prophets coming together? Oh, Docs, man. We got the same story, but it kind of really started before I actually.
Like, came on board, like, side side, you know, because I had two trials. I had a trial in 2013 and another one in 2014. And on the second one, when they told me I was getting, I was getting hired. They took us upstairs to the promo class. And that morning, I swear, I was like, man, I thought we were doing the promos in the afternoon.
So I show up in gym clothes. And docs know I go to McDonald's in the tuxedo. You know, I just have, I have a, I have a suit on for everything.
So in the Tony P. Smith Nugget.
So I ended up going upstairs and like they took it to the promo class where they were having a class and Kevin Owens and pretty much everybody that's on Main Roster now was in that class and Dawks was actually in that class. And I remember I was in front of the class sitting down in my workout clothes and these damn moccasins. And I was like, fuck damn, I don't look professional at all, whatever. And then Kevin Owens like looks at Docs and like, hey, Docs. He's wearing moccasins just like you.
You guys would be great as a tag team. This was before anything, even like. Popped off. And then when I finally got signed, I'll say maybe a year into me being signed, NXC had a, you know, they would record their shows like. Like four weeks at a time, like on one night.
And he had a match, I had a match, and literally, right after that, Hunter was like, Hey, I think they would look really good as a tag team. Like lo or behold, like long stop long story short. nine ten years later you know street profits you know here and you know get started and but even when i first got signed and i came on board like i was kicking with dogs you know uh trev you know ricochet uh uh apollo cruise Uh Sammy Callahan and like that was like our little You know, core group when I first came in. I was all like squad.
So, like, this was all before the tag team and everything happened.
So, when Hunter said that, we was like, oh, bad, man, this is going to be easy. Like, I already know this. No, no, Doc, you had been in NXT a little bit longer, correct? Because I can remember you and Sawyer Fulton back in the day. As a tag team, I think that was the first time I became familiar with your work.
Now, when you two got together. Can you tell me how the idea of the street prophets came? Because when I first heard the name, I wasn't sure. It was like, and this is maybe this was what you expected. I was like, wait, are they talking about prophets as in money?
Are they talking about prophets as they're preaching the gospel? I wasn't sure. I was down for whatever. Can you tell us how that whole street prophets and came together?
So, yes, yes, yes, yes. I've been at NXT. I think I still have the longest record for NXT. Developmental guy and there still, I believe so. What, seven and a half years, I want to say.
So you've been there since 2012.
So man, how the street prophet's name came about. Yeah, about that. Yeah, bro. they was like hey come up with a list of names so like we were coming up with names and stuff like that So they ended up getting back to us. And we realized some of the names that they didn't get, like that they gave us.
Were none of the names that we sent. None of the names that we were sent.
So we was like, all right, cool.
So, like, I guess we got to go back to the drawing board. That's like, I guess we took that as them, like. telling us to go back to the drawing board. It was like, all right, cool. Spentrick.
Triple H comes up to me, he's like, hey. Hey, there's a street profits. Museum. Huh? It's like, yeah.
Y'all like that name, right? Liz like But yeah, I guess. What about the other names? Y'all like the other names as well? He's like.
yeah i like street profits i was like well say no more you're right And then that's pretty much it. I mean, hey, but as far as the meaning of it, it's all of the above. Repreach. We get money. Yeah.
We tell the future? Hey. We fulfilling prophecies out here. That's what we do. That's every week.
And every week we make profits, man. You know, every match is a profit. You know, every day is a profit. You know, every you know, every advancement we do is a profit. You know, like profits not just when it comes to like currency or anything.
It's like when you do something, you know.
So That's kind of like how we took it. That's what's up.
Now, you guys have had some uh Some pretty wild spots.
Some pretty wild spots seeing you. Take a man's prosthetic leg and hit somebody with it. Doggies, you got to do the edge spot, the TLC edge spot. Through a table, the spear. Talk about some of y'all favorite moments, and please, please talk about that prosthetic leg and what it was like to get a to do a spear off a ladder.
Yeah, dog.
So like that, that match, that match was wild, man. And like, I remember like, we were just like, you know, all of us, like, you know, we kept hearing like the rumblings of like, you know, how you guys feel about, you know, not being on WrestleMania and all this other things. And like, it's like, you know, we look at it as like, okay, we're not on WrestleMania, but that's a chance for other guys to show like their showcase on WrestleMania. But best believe, this match on SmackDown, like, like, we're going to come with it, you know, and that's pretty much like the mentality everybody had. And so when we was out there, we were just having a blast, having fun.
I remember I'm setting up the ladder to go. you know, set up the ladder so I can put this mug in the ring and I hear this fan. Uh, he's like, Yeah, I'm like, Yo, Taz, use my leg, use my leg. And literally, like, he's holding the leg out there. I'm like, No way, this dude is telling me to use his leg.
So, I grabbed it, hit Johnny, hit Johnny in the stomach, hit him in the back, tossed it back to him. And I wasn't even thinking when I tossed it back to him. I was like, Man, I hope he caught it. And we caught it, I just lost my mind. It was literally like the craziest moment ever, man.
So, like, yeah, it's and that's the fun part about like this stuff. Like, you can have fun like in moments like this, a chaotic match like that. Like, it's like anything is you know. Legal.
So, like, you know, and it was not planned. I mean, I remember I kept getting tagged. A lot of times, people say, man, that was a bit, that was a good way to plan. I was like, man, I wish. I was like, no, I was cautious.
I would have been precautious when I was using this leg because I wasn't even thinking, like, man, if this leg breaks, man, I got to pay for this. Hey, no, man, you know what's crazy? Like, this is how you know it wasn't blast.
So I'm over there beating up saving, right? And I just hear this loud roar and I look over. I see across the ring Tazwood. Prosthetic leg away. Did you think Zach Gowan got signed real quick and you didn't know about it?
Like, oh no, bro, like, where did he get that from? Like, his leg. This is something that I don't know about. Then you saw him throw it to the fan. I was like, wait, he jacked the fans prosthetic.
All right, cool, whatever, bro. Do your thing. It's like them old SmackDown versus Raw games, bro. You used to be able to hit people with anything, man. You could grab it from the crowd.
Yeah.
Them old PlayStation 2 games, you could use whatever you want. One of my favorite spots that just happened. SummerSlam. I forget my man's name from the Y86, but they're supposed to flip him into this ladder, right? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
They missed the ladder. Was it Joe or Dexter? It was Joe. It was Joe. Joe, yeah.
So they're supposed to flip him into the ladder. He missed completely. They were lined up and everything, but he missed completely. And they look. Looked at the crowd for a minute.
They wouldn't have got his ass back from the outside and did it anyway. Oh, God. Yo, that was funny. That was like a little... I heard like a little clip too as he mixed it.
I was like, ugh, come on. Hey, they're by the mic. Come on, Slay. Yeah, right. All right, cool.
What was crazy? Like, he almost overshot the ladder again, too. Like, he caught the top part of the ladder. Like, that would have just taken him to the outside. Oh, man, that's chaotic.
You know, you guys, you talked about the TLC match and everything. Can you tell us, man, what was. You guys' thoughts when you finally found out that you weren't gonna be on the WrestleMania card. I know how we as fans reacted. It was a little bit of an uproar to see you guys in the tag teams not.
Make the mania card.
So, when you did that TLC match, it was like, yo, we're gonna show y'all. Yeah, well, can you tell us your feelings about that leading up to the match? Was that like a point of contention? Did you guys make it a point to be like, We're gonna go show them? Yeah, so it's, I love that question, man.
Like, I always try to take everything that happens as a positive, right? You know, never bite the finger or anything. And, First off, just seeing the love and support from the fans like just go so hard for us, like how, you know, villaging they were and how upset they were, that was dope. But I also looked at it as the essence of like, you know, like, you know, maybe we do need to go out there and like remind these people exactly who we are. You know, maybe it does take like us being like whatever it is to make sure we're like not denied for whatever, whatever reason it is.
And uh you know That TLC match being like the first immediate and quick opportunity to do so, and not just do it like one night, keep doing it, like, do it. Every Friday night, like, you know, I feel like sometimes people get too wrapped up and just like, okay, I had to bang a match, but it's like, okay, keep doing that, you know, keep. Keep bringing these bangers, keep hitting it. And, like, you know, just seeing the love and outpour to fans is one thing, but also, like, setting it a mission between both of us, like, all right, man, you make sure, like, no matter what happens after this, like, we cannot be denied ever again for whatever reason.
So, that's the way I look at it. And, you know, so yeah, just turn into a positive. You know, normally I wouldn't even ask this question, but because we've had WWE Unreal and now we've seen, you know, a little bit behind the curtain, I'll ask this question. Was that something that all you guys got together and kind of in a room and went, you know, we. We're about to Not to steal the show tonight.
Was that that was that everybody's thought process? Yeah, I mean, like I said, you know, it wasn't, it wasn't no harm, no foul. Like, you know, this is a business, you know, at the end of the day. And like, things have to happen. Things have to get on WrestleMania.
Like, there are things that more pro. Prioritize and whatever happens. We understand that. That's the business concept. But We also took in the essence of like, you know, if this is the situation, then we're going to show them.
You know, exactly why it should be this way or should be that way or should have been the other way. And, like, also, too, like, and it don't have to be just WrestleMania, you know, just the simple fact that like we get an opportunity to like go out there and like do our thing, whether it is WrestleMania or SmackDown. You know, we just gonna kill it, you know.
So, like, but that was something that everybody collectively felt like, you know, like, all right, man, like, we don't know what the reason it is, like, or why, but they're gonna remember tonight. That was pretty much the mentality. We both all of us had big ass chips on our shoulders that week.
So yeah, you you completely agree with it then? Like it was it was go time. Yeah.
It was definitely Go Tom that week. Especially that week when like... Obviously, like given the circumstances, the goal is always being Omania. And now it's two nights, so it makes it a little bit easier to get Omania once we didn't make it. Yeah.
Two mania was just like, all right, cool, like. Guess we got to go out there and, you know what I'm saying, send a little reminder. Send them a little like, hey, yo, Street Prophecy, the tag team division is here. Don't sleep on this. We in the building, so uh yeah.
They heard us loud and clear, I guess. We're on SummerSlam, so and then everybody, and everybody has a role, too. You got to think about it, too. Like, some people they can't afford to watch, you know, WrestleMania or go see WrestleMania, but they can see Friday Night Smackdown.
So, it's like you know also like turned into a positive where like always turn to a positive where like it's like damn man like they ain't see me for wrestlemania but you know they could see me for free you know smackdown you know or see me at smackdown so so i i get they're saying it was business but given the answers you can come out and say we're no contest you can say y'all was you were pissed that you didn't get two nuts on the show oh yeah yeah it's so like it's so funny it's so funny y'all say that man because like i remember i did an interview earlier uh i think it was like last year or something and i was talking about how like how frustrated i was and like it's like they took it to a point where like they were saying like i was frustrated about like uh my position or whatever i've been blessed with this company for 10 years i've been with my tag team partner my entire time i work alongside my beautiful wife like i have nothing to complain about but i feel like sometimes Because you have all these things where everything's going well for you in your life, people don't understand that frustrations are normal. Like, I remember Giannis did an interview one year and it was asking about, well, do you think this season was a failure? He said, No, we're NBA champions. Like, I'm frustrated because, like, everything don't go well all the time. And I'm allowed to feel frustrated when, like, me and my brother are like, you know, working our ass off and then we're not on WrestleMania.
Of course, I'm going to be mad. Like, that's that's normal. Like, if I sit back and go, like, oh man, it's okay. Like, it's like, no, it's not, it's not okay. But guess what?
I'm not going to complain or bitch about it. I'm going to just go out there and we're going to just keep doing our thing and like reminding these people exactly who we are. But like, to not feel frustrated about not being on the biggest show, I think, like, okay, what are you really here for? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, and I'm not, I feel like everybody that's dreamed about doing this or loved doing this, like, they want to be in WrestleMania.
That's just what it is.
So, if you're not on WrestleMania and to not feel the way and for people to think that you don't feel Away, I think it's a little ludicrous because you know, like you say, it's okay to be respectful and humble, but like you know, you're not a WrestleMania, you're gonna feel a certain way. It's like, damn, I ain't no Russell. That is that is the grandest stage overall, like, and like. I'm one of the most laid back dudes around. Like, I don't let a lot of stuff get to me, but like not being on mania, that'll get to me.
And I also feel like if your goal ain't mania, if that's not your end goal to even be on mania, then like, what are you doing, bro? What's your motivation there? And then like, you know, it's like the playoffs. Most people may not watch wrestling all year, but they watch WrestleMania and you're not on that.
So you did all this work all year for a chance for people to not even see your craft.
So like, yeah, that's, that's, that's a frustration right there. But also you can't harp on it too long because you still got to go out there the next night and the next night and the next night and lead up to the next minute.
So. Now That I mean like that's yeah, what else you in it for man if we not going to the Super Bowl Sorry, sorry, Dawkins.
So, uh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. You can, we can cut his invite off. I just, I didn't mean to. Anyway, so I got a nice one lined up.
So, well, you should after that. Hold on, chill out. All right, it's Monday.
So, Dawkins, earlier in our interview, you spoke about the travel and how you know, going to Europe and all that, like you know, it was a blessing, and it was your record, welcome to wrestling moment. Talk to me about being able to do the swing. In Barcelona. And then after that, Montez, I need to know what's scarier. Falling off the top of the elimination chamber, I know about your fear of heights.
Or talking to Mark Henry before you got a court question. Because you know, we had the missus on early on in our pod history, and she told us all about that story. But I need to know what's going on. I need to know: what's that like in Spain? I'm on Brill, it was nuts, man.
I mean, what was crazy about it? Like, obviously, you know, the history. Real Madrid, Barcelona can't stand each other. Like, it's like a very heated rivalry. It's Ohio State and team up North Times on steroids, all that stuff.
Lakers, Celtics on steroids, there.
So it was the crazy part: Was his face from Barcelona was there? La Miniamao. he was there and i don't know if y'all caught the arrival shot of that episode i was wearing a real madrid kit Under my suit jacket.
So everybody knew, like, everybody knew what time I was on. And I was just in Madrid a couple of days earlier for the second leg against Athletico Madrid.
So everybody knew what time I was on. I was pumped. I was like, oh, I'm definitely hitting the Sui, bro. And I'm a huge Ronaldo fan, too.
So, like, I was like, all right, I got to do it.
So when I did it, I thought I was going to get booed. That crazy part is like Ronaldo's so good, dog. Everybody's going to do it with you, including his own rivals. I love that. I love a good troll, man.
I had my Laker belt in the Clippers arena for the Raw at Netflix. And I got some booze. I tried to get him kicked out, to be honest with you. I was like, because I'm a Clipper fan. You're being disrespectful in our house.
Get out. Gross.
So, Tess, before you wait to Shay be doing his thing, man. I got an unknown guilty pleasure. I ain't tell people. I love Shay. Go ahead with the fans.
You know, I just like sitting back going, like, yeah, get him. I can't help it, man.
So, sometimes it's them days where you just got to let them know, man. And Shay, he be letting them like, go ahead, Shay. Like Stevie Ray used to always say on Nitro back in the day, suckers need to. know. Yeah, bro.
Suckers me to know. The official HBO Hard Knocks podcast is back. I'm your host, Andrew Ceciliano. We're joined by NFL and Hard Knocks Insiders as the Buffalo Bills prepare to make history. We're going to do whatever we can to bring a Lombardi back here to Western New York.
Catch Hard Docks, training camp with the Buffalo Bills on HBO Max. Then watch or listen to the Hard Knocks podcast, wherever you get your podcasts. Hey folks, let me tell you that drinking and driving is a decision that will change your whole world. Things will never be the same once you get a DUI because legal fees and time in court are just the beginning. Getting into a crash is another way your world could be irreversibly changed after drinking and driving.
Your vehicle may not be the only thing it gets damaged in that crash. You could face a life-altering injury or even death, but... You're not the only one who could face those consequences. Your decision to drink and drive could permanently change someone else's world, whether you injured them or leave their loved ones grieving. The next time you're out drinking, call a rideshare, a taxi, a sober friend, or a designated sober driver.
Always plan for a safe ride home. And the only decision that will change your world for the better. is the decision to call for a sober ride. It is never worth it to drive drunk. Don't risk it.
Drive sober. or get pulled over. Paid for by NHTSA.
Now, Shay, before you answer, or Tez, before you answer Shay's question, I guess maybe we'll get people brought up to where that came from. We had Mark Henry on the podcast early. He was telling us about how he kind of would tell wrestlers, maybe, you know, don't date within the business, especially us. We can't be doing that. And then, of course, he gets a phone call, and then we had Bianca on the pod, and she clarified Mark Henry's story.
Montez, why don't you tell us yourself?
So, what'd she tell you? What'd she tell you? Said that you had to ask Mark before all that courting start happening. You had to call her dad and Mark. Man, they put the pressure on me, man.
I did not have it easy at all.
So, like, I remember a little bit before that, like, um. Her her parents were uh they they went to Myrtle well, they go to Murdo Beach every year for the anniversary. And I remember like the whole family was over there. She was taking me over there to pretty much talk to him. And I'm like, God dang.
So, like, I had to do her father and Mark Henry. It was a whole process. But I remember with Mark, like, I think it was like around. Yeah, because he told Mark told her, like, not to date nobody. Like, nobody.
And I was like, oh, God, man.
So we were like the first couple to like actually. I feel like we were like one of the first, or probably the first couple to actually like break it out in the PC. Cause, like, it used to be a thing where, like, man, you don't, you don't date in the business, man. You don't date in the business at all. And if you do, you keep that under wraps.
And I remember for like the day I got tired of it, I kid you not, the day I got sick of it, you know, Florida Hot. And I remember she dropped me off like all the way at the edge of the street and like she just drove. The car we were driving at the time to the PC. And I'm like, man, she's in there air-conditioned, all cool and beautiful. And I got to walk my ass to this PC because we're trying to keep this quiet.
So I'm like, you know what? We're telling somebody.
So had to tell somebody. You know, and then was it your tag team partner you told? Yeah.
I didn't even tell the dogs. That's Thought he like, I mean, he kind of he had an inkling, but he he didn't. Because you know, it was it was a lot going on at the time.
So I had to like, I had to, I had to respect her privacy, my privacy. It was a lot going on, y'all. And then I had to go talk to Mark. On top of that, he was like, he was like, yeah, man, you know, I told her, you know. Don't be dating nobody here, but you know if y'all gonna do it right Then it's okay.
And I already knew what he meant by that. Like, if y'all gonna do it right, like, if you're gonna marry her, treat her right, yeah, then that's okay.
So, and that's. That's why I, you know, that's why I married her, because I got scared about Mark Henry in that damn bitch. Yeah.
We've been waiting so long to get your side. It was great he didn't tell me because I would have been like, Man, you crazy? You good? I was like, Bro, if you get in the business, I just want you to know you got to go to work. And home.
Yeah, 24 hours, like they don't break. And mind you, and here's what made it more pressure. Like, this is what a lot of people don't even realize, too. Mark Henry was the one who actually, like, You know, brought her in and brought her in.
So imagine, like, he puts in this good word for this girl, and then she gets laced up with this. Mug Montez, and then they go off, and you know, it's yeah, it's so it's you know, it's a lot of things going on, but you know, it in and out really well. Doug's still shaking to say that since it is Bianca Belair, and since we are on record, Tez, uh, early on in our podcast, Shay and I had a talk, and I was like, you know what. I don't care what happens. I ain't never booing beyond.
I ain't never booing beyond. Oh, ain't nobody. Nah. Nah, I told her that. She can try to go hill.
She can try to go bad. Like, they're just going to rock with her, man. I don't care if she does go hill. I said, look, she could go to Altoona, Pennsylvania, roll up to my mom's crib and assault my mom. And my first question will be: Mom, what you do to be on this?
What you do? What you do? What you do, Mama? What you do? Mom.
That's probably the only person that would board, bro. I'm sure that's a little sister to him right there, so he could. Yeah, yeah. And they go at it all the time, and they be putting me in like these awkward positions because, like, this is my tag partner, but this is my life partner, and they just don't be agreeing. When did Tyler be agreeing?
And they just talked him in the eye on their show. I saw it. I saw it. Yeah.
You know, we don't want to get to make this too much of a love connection, but it's Bianca, so we got to know, like. Do you remember like the first time seeing her and you going, yo, I... I gotta shoot my shot, man. Man, that was So it was like, so we had this, we had dysfunction at work one time. And like one of the girls, like in her locker room, like invited everybody to go out to sushi.
Now, mind you, like, I ain't never messed with sushi. I ain't. I didn't like the difficulty of eating it. It was just too much of a process, you know. I don't need it either.
Now I love sushi, you know, besides all of this. But I went there. I remember I showed up and she was like in like this red dress. And like just very, just very sleek. Beautiful, like bright, like colorful person.
Like, and like, I just remember seeing that and being so attracted to that, and like, just being attracted to her smile. I know, as crazy as that sounds, just like her smile.
So, it's like one of the main reasons why I act so crazy on TV because she always laughing about it. Yeah.
But, just like, man, just like a genuine, like. person that just made me want to be better from like day one. And literally from that night we met up, like we never separated from that point. You know, like we helped each other with our life transitions and like from wrestling from groves to peaks and valleys and just keeping ourselves grounded. Lily, like that's like my best friend.
So, but that's when I've known like that first night, like that first night we. we hit off. I was like not giving her no play the whole time, though, because I was just trying to make sure this is what she wanted. You know, like she was like, she was trying to talk to me. She was trying to sit beside me in movie theaters.
Like she even bought me a drink.
So yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. She was sending the signs, man, but I was just trying to make sure like, hey, this, if this is what you want to do, then, you know, that consent. Consent. Yeah, that's right. That's right.
Smart. Sadak, he's saying he was playing hard to get. Is this true? The door. I said he said Ted's making it seem like he was playing hard to get.
Is this how you saw the situation? Yes. Babe, come here. I'll bring it here right now. I'll bring it here right now.
Give me a two-second cameos. We got a no-contest favorite in the future. It's very true. There she is on the screen. What's up, B?
How you been? I'm good. I'm good. I hear y'all talking from the other room. Yes, he was giving me no play.
Damn. Wow. What a star. No player. I was just trying to make sure this is what she wanted to do.
That's all. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Yeah, picky battle sometime. And as she came in, she gave a thumbs down the dock. And so, what you guys said is true. That is another insister right there. I don't know why I got them on here.
You know why she mad. 42, 17. That's why. Bye. I'm out.
I'm out. 42, 17. Ohio state over Tennessee. Oh, my goodness. I'm sorry.
That's why y'all can't get a lot of people. Y'all taught me if I ain't got nothing nice to say, I ain't, don't say nothing.
So it's nice to see y'all. It's a pleasure. Doesn't he have ten for your anniversary two-dollar gift cards? It's a gift, all right? Hey, now you really bout the.

So Sigard is nice shit, TJ. Here, let's get into it. Sig all is nice shit. What people don't know is that November 2nd. 2025, the street profits will actually be going one-on-one against each other.
Say what's right. That's right. The Cincinnati Bengals versus the Chicago Bears on November 2nd. Only time this season. That's it.

That goes out the window. Talk to him. That's right. The red light will be on. The lights will be shining.
It will be the Cincinnati Bengals for the Chicago Bears. And you know what? For the first time, I will have to do damage to you without even laying a finger on you. The Chicago Bears will do that themselves. to the Bengals.
And no, no, no, no, it's not just any day. It is the day that you will finally realize that all the weapons y'all have had for years. Doesn't matter. And they still don't matter.
So, brother, I will accompany you to the game. I will buy you your drinks and your jersey, but just know that the heartbreak always comes. At the end. God bless you, brother, and I will see you November 2nd.
Okay. Oh, guys. Wow. Wow. Wow, I just want a roly, roly, roly with a dab of ranch.
All right, that's all I want. Wow, such sentimental, you know, such a great soliloquy. You just went on there, my brother. My friend. My God.
My tank team partner. See, guys, this is what I love. You know what I'm saying? I'm a giving guy. I like to share the wealth, okay?
I share the wealth. See, one half of that household has already experienced my team dominating their team. It's only right. Then my other team dominates. That team.
The Chicago Bears, November 2nd. Bruh, I've seen you cry. I've seen you cry when they lose. If those are close games, those are nail biters. I feel bad for what Cincinnati is going to do to you, but it's okay.
You know what I'm saying? We get the tickets. You your pops Me? My brothers, we're gonna be in Cincinnati, chillin' wishing you great. Cincinnati hospitality, you know what I'm saying?
You let you know. take you down on a journey in the city. of Cincinnati in the jungle. Because once we step foot on that football field, once we sit down in those seats, oh my lord. What the Bengals are going to do to the Bears?
It's going to be historical. They're going to talk about this in history books. They're going to be treating this like it's one gorilla versus a hundred dudes, all right? It's going to be like, It's gonna be diabolical what the Bengals are gonna do to the Bears. It's gonna be so.
So So beautiful. And for Cinderers at the same time, you're not even going to know what to do with it. But it's okay. I will make sure Bianca's there so you have a shoulder to cry on. I will also make sure Seth and CM Punk settle their beef because they're both Bears fans as well.
Hey, come on down to Cincinnati because Ted's going to need a couple extra shoulders to cry on for what the Bengals are going to do to the Bears. Welcome to the jungle. Oh my goodness. Welcome to the jungle. Oh my goodness.
I feel like this needs to be clipped and sent to the NFL and played before the game. Yeah.
You know what I'm saying? It's personal. His personal right here. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, wait, wait. Hello?
Hello, yeah, yeah. Hey, yeah, go on order a bunch of tissues, a bunch of like you know what I'm saying, wipes, you know what I'm saying. Hey, you might need to get him some extra clothes because he's gonna be crying too much. But hey, it's okay, though. It might be cold, it's November, so the tears might be frozen.
So he's gonna have like 17 teardrops just right there, glued to his cheeks. You know what I'm saying? He's gonna have snoop. People. Yeah.
He's gonna be good this year. They had the last three years and they still cannot get it done. Am I right? Oh, it's crazy. I'm crazy, but it's okay.
Don't worry. That household. That household will be complete. When the Bengal beat down the Bears. Ohio State already said Tennessee packing.
Hell, quarterback in UCLA right now. They beat them. What you think they're gonna do to the Bears? And with Caleb Williams, huh? Caleb Williams.
Hold on. Dogs, this is all I'm going to say right now. It's before 9 p.m. You need to hang up that phone. Them minutes are not free.
You don't need free minutes. He said you're wasting your anytime minutes. Oh, man, this has been great. I know, boy, the bangles better win now. That was crazy.
I'm looking forward to this game more than any cowboy game this year. Y'all go see him. We're going to come right back on and specifically talk about that game. We're going to come back on the podcast. To specifically talk about that game.
All right, we're going to hold you to that. We're going to hold you to that. I'm going to tell y'all a story. The Bears vs. the Washington Commanders.
Y'all remember how that game ended, right? Oh, my God. Y'all remember how that game ended. Don't do that. You can't trouble with this when that game ended.
What do you? To hunt it out. I called you to make sure you're okay. Because that's what a brother does. That's what a brother does.
Hello if I'm not brought in. Scott drama. This is what I do. Check on because I know you're going to be hurting. Don't worry, I already know in advance you're going to be hurting.
Fuck, we in August still? We August right now, right? We still in August? Oh, November gonna be sweet. You know what I'm saying?
Hey, you know what? Hey, look, bro, don't even worry about Thanksgiving. Come over here, bro. You know what I'm saying? Hey.
Look, man, I don't even want you to be depressed. I want you to be right here with your family, my family, in one house. You know what I'm saying? Thanksgiving. Old me, because that's how bad the bingo is going to beat the Bears.
It's going to be.
Okay. Yeah.
Okay. All right.
Well, you know, I got, you know, my best friend's a Bears fan, and I was watching that game with him. Yeah.
And I thought the world was ending on that day, yo. Yeah, listen. You know how I feel about Seth Rollins? Out of all the things that could possibly happen, that happened. Yeah.
Wow. That was wad. Right. And they can pinpoint whose fault it was if you look at the video. Yeah, it's like they went to the collapse.
They all got the delivery. You know, we're quick-witted here, fellas. You know, we're a sports show. Oh, goodness. Yeah, that was.
I'm sure that was hard. You know what?
It's a great storytelling. You know when I receive it with the with the college, right? The one that caught the ball, North Brown? Oh, no way. Ohio State University.
I get it. I get it. See, man, Ohio State causes problems. See and households. That's crazy.
Shout out to my cousin Michael Thomas. And guard Michael. You know, and you know, here on the rich, you know, we're part of the Rich Eisen show, and he's a big Michigan man.
So we hear a lot. And he literally just left the studio a minute ago, right before you start talking. He would have brought up the fact that you haven't beat Michigan in what four years. I mean, they haven't. You know what?
They ain't got nothing to do with me. They ain't got nothing to do with me. I'm a Penn Center. Hey, tell him that I said this, okay? There's only one team.
Most of the game. In the whole history of the rivalry, he canceled the deal. They canceled it. That's the only reason they got those four wits because you know what I'm saying? They needed an extra year to scout, you know what I'm saying, steal some science stuff.
You know what I'm saying? They needed that extra year because we already know somebody was on the hot seat. He might be coaching for the Chargers last time I checked, but he was on the hot seat.
So he had to do something. He had to go. I'm not sure. Two illegal measures to get the dub, but that's cool. That's straight.
Hey, look, Rich Isa, A, I'm a fan of his show. Anytime he wants to talk Ohio State and Michigan, I'm having ready. I still remember the video where he thought he was gonna sing Urban Meyer.
Okay. put the hell in the final coffin in the urban mire what what ended up happening Put up 70 points on them. That's why I asked. The game only undefeated coach in the whole rivalry 7-0 Unblemish. Couldn't be beat.
Okay. You done got him riled up. See, see? Yeah.
He's about to go run through a wall after this interview. We might have to click this and play it on the show tomorrow for a minute. Please do it. Please do. But real quick, you mentioned the name Seth Rollins.
You know, when Seth was injured, he came and he hosted the Rich Eisen show for two days and had the leg brace on. He pulled the wool over all of our eyes. But then, you see, he came on the Monday after winning the world title and he said something to us, Tes, so I got to ask you this. He told us that he and his wife, Becky Lynch, had dinner with you and Bianca and had the brace on and the crutches.
So we got to know, did you? Did you think anything was off, or were you completely buying this too? And where was the dinner? Oh, so the dinner was at this very nice place out in LA because me and my wife was out there shooting some with Nick Cannon. And we went out and he had the brace and everything on and like you know i i It wasn't nothing off.
You know, we went to dinner. You know, he sat there. He had the braces on and everything. We weren't really moving around at all. Like, you know, he wasn't like.
It wasn't like we went somewhere like to the mall or we went ice skating where like he had to move around a lot. Like literally, we walked in, we embraced each other and then we went to our seats to sat down.
So like I didn't really see him like moving around a lot at all, you know.
So I and sometimes like especially when somebody's like, you know, hurt, like, you know, you don't really ask too much about the injury because, you know, some people just, you know, they. They get real sensitive about that, you know.
Sometimes people still going through their transition or whatever it is, so you kind of just stay away from it. But you know, we had a good conversation, but like, nah, he, you know, he was, he was, he was chilling.
So, I ain't, you know, I ain't, I ain't know nothing, you know what I'm saying? I ain't, I ain't, I ain't know nothing, nothing, not 10. You know, he went out with the braces and everything, and I ain't think nothing, you know. He, if you, if you would have saw him that night, you. Would have, you know, obviously thought, like, you know, something's up, you know, because if he would have obviously walked out without no braces, then.
You know, that just sounds like somebody that's dedicated to the craft, to his plan. You know, he had a plan B and he stuck with the plan, whether he was in the ring or out of the ring. That says a lot about him.
So, yeah. And for sure, and here's a video I took when he was hosting because, you know, people asked me, because I'm the wrestling fan on the Rich His show. They're like, did you believe him? I said 99% of me believed him, but 1% I wasn't sure. And that's him going to the bathroom during a commercial break.
Peebum, he he he held to it. He he held to it. He held to it. Like I said, he held to it. Like I was out that night and like, you know, asked how he was doing, but didn't go into d you know, full detail about his knee.
But Uh but he was like I said he held to it like he he went to the bathroom whatever he needed to do he was on he was on it so that's somebody who sticking to the freaking plan man like no matter if the camera's on or not so Hey man, I've been working here for almost a year. Where the hell, what the hell desk was that? Oh, that's when we I was wondering what you were looking around. Man, what the desk is at, bro? That's not here.
We used to film women's sports now here, so that was their set. They used to shoot on Wednesdays. We changed the furniture. That's why we got moved. We used to do the pod on Wednesdays.
We got bumped to Mondays because they were doing it.
So yeah, that was never here on Wednesday. All right.
I don't like being left out. But so there's something, this is a question I want to make sure we get out the way and give you guys time to think about it. It's our number one question on this show.
Now, I was thinking about, you know, should we make them pick other tag teams and increase the bar? But I think. They got a little bit of a sibling rivalry between them two, so we're gonna let them pick a piece. Yeah, yeah, go and do the whole five. The whole five, all right, yeah, individually, yeah.
We're gonna do this individually, you know. We know y'all love each other, but you don't have to pick each other because they're two hours away from each other, they might be in a different bar that exactly.
So, you in a bar, yes, 50 dudes in that bar. And they're big time hating. They don't like smoke. Yeah, they don't want you in there, bro.
So, both of you. Separately? Have to pick a team of you and four other superstars to make sure you're getting out that bar and you're getting in the car. Who is your bar fight crew? And they could be superstars of any era.
Oh, by the way, first, I got to think on this one. Oh, from any era? Any era? Oh, man. It's true.
I was going to pick from now, but if you're not going to be able to do that. Oh, you can do whatever. I'm just saying, you're not limited right now, though.
Okay, if I if I was doing now I would definitely say. Omos You know, you gotta have the Eclipse on your team, man. I would say Omos, Oba Femi. Oh yeah, the ruler. The ruler.
And if I can't do dogs, I would choose. Oh, it is her going to Okay.
Okay. Okay. So you're looking at you. Omars, Oba, Odis, and And that's Kuntha with an A, not with the ER. Not an ER, because we don't do that here.
We don't do that here. Not Guntha. Kuntha. The ringhand of Ralph Kuntha. Yeah, bro.
That's the second time Otison got picked. Otis must be, he must go.
Well, look at that. No, he's Otis.
Okay, so that's what people don't realize about a lot of people that don't know about a lot of people that, you know, you know Otis, but the people that know Otis know like Otis is probably like. One of the strongest human beings that's walking the face of this earth. Like, you don't realize, you don't realize how strong he is, too. And, like, even when you embrace him every week, like, he gives you a hug and like you get a chiropractor adjustment. Like, he's he's very, very strong.
And, like, he, that, that's, if we were doing like 100 versus the gorilla, like, that's the example of like exactly how that would be with Otis. Yeah, yeah, Otis, yeah, Otis was definitely cracking Huawa on up, bro. Yeah, yeah, he's, yeah, because how what you gonna do to hurt Odyssey is like a ball. You can't hurt him. How about you?
You can't pick him up. You can't throw him. He's just a bowling ball, bro. He's center of gravity is off the chain. Yes.
And he got balance. Yeah, he was a collegiate wrestler, right? Yeah, he's a beast. Oh, and he can headbutt people and knock them out.
So, okay. You don't want them problems. All right, dog, your turn. All right.
Let me go Otis. Yeah, do you want to go?
Very biased on this one. I'd definitely go Gable, Chad Gable. Yeah.
Uh Man, I will go. Jason Jordan. Oh, okay. Man, what might have been with Chasing Jordan too, man? Who knows?
Beast, beast, man. And it's mine, too. Mine still created. I got two more or one more. You got one more.
You owe this game. You got to marry me. You can't choose me, though. Can't choose me, though. You know, I can't choose you.
We can't. We can't. Oh, we can't?
Okay, okay. Because I would have had you replaced, but outside of you know rules. Yeah, yeah, I got you, I got you. Remember, you can pick anybody from any time. From any time?
Oh, crap. Uh Brian Simmons. Oh, yeah, you gotta go with Ron. Oh, yeah. I gotta film both of y'all making a home all right that night.
Yeah, bro. Bro, Ron Simmons will. Choke your ass out, boy. I don't think he would choke you. I think he would just knock you out.
Your ass out, boy. Hell yeah.
Solid teams, solid teams. That's our number one question because who don't like to draft? Right? Who don't like to have a draft, real quick? Exactly, bro.
Look at the cold wall coming up now, bro. And then, like, the combined weight of my draft is like over a ton, anyway.
So, that's why I was like, I ain't worried about it. There's a lot of weight on your squad right there. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. All right.
So, another question that people seem to like here is street profits. We got a working time machine here at No Contest Wrestling. We keep it on the download because we don't want everybody knowing about it. We got a time machine.
So, basically, what we're going to do is we're going to come over, swoop you guys up. And we're going to let you set the coordinates, right? and you get to choose five tag teams. from any era. to have a WrestleMania main event with.
What five tag teams do the Street Prophets want to test themselves against? Uh I mean, we all probably got the same answer, so I'll do one, you do one. Yeah.
And we got five. But I would definitely say. For us I'll say uh Carlin Heat. Oh my guess. That's one dog.
So you go ahead and do the next one before I do my next team. Arm machine. Let me go Know what Rock and Roll Express Rookie and Robert. Yeah.
All right.
I would definitely have to say the Hardy Boys. That's going to be such a banger. Bro Well, what is this? Four. That's three right there.
Harlem Heat, Rock and Roll, Hardees.
Okay. God lease. Douglas, sure. All right, let's see. I had to.
Yeah.
So many because you can't just limit them down to just one. It's insane. I'm trying to like pick one from like each. Yeah.
Definitely would have to do Two-man power trip. Whoa. Trips and stones? Listen, I thought it was going to be DX, but he went above and beyond. Two-man power trip.
That's the first time they've been mentioned. Yeah, do it then. Let's get it. I don't have to. I wanted to throw a swerve in that one because, like, you know, we've always said the same answers every time we've answered that.
That was the first time I've said the Rock and Roll Express. And that's the first time he said two man power trap. I like that. Yeah, man. Just give it like a nice little range.
Cause like, you know, you got Stone Cold and you got the game. Like, that was. Different styles right there. Yeah, clicking up.
So oh wait, real quick, just real real real real quick. Because you did have a moment, if I'm not mistaken. Where Bubba got to tell y'all get the tables. Talk to us about that. That had to be dope.
Oh, it was dope. Oh, it was crazy. What was it? I believe that first table broke. Yeah.
Kerry and Kross for sure broke that table. We put him on the table and it just broke. And we just looked, we was like, oh, damn. That table, bro. And he was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
So we rushed out the ring. But nah, it was dope, man. That was WrestleMania in Philly. Yeah.
The the the warm the warmer night. You're eyes. Night too, you know? Yeah, we was freezing, man. Yeah, we weren't catching no kendo sticks and tables through no cold, you know?
So that was great. But no, I mean, it was dope just to have that, like, just to have a guy like him in that match. You know what I'm saying? Obviously, he's made those matches cool and all that stuff. That's been his.
Forte and tag team wrestling especially street fights TLCs tables all that stuff So that was cool to have him be a part of that moment with us and he was like giving us insight and all that stuff So I mean he's always been in our ear even with the TLC matches the last two TLC matches So like it was dope to have him there and like talking to us and like telling us like hey, you know what I'm saying? Like giving us advice on certain things and stuff like that. But it was dope. That's what's up.
The thing about that is, it's almost like, Shay, the Street Profits are that team, right? They tried to make Hill a little bit, but fans ain't having it. You guys just, you guys ain't no matter. I don't, I don't know what you'd actually have to do to really get booed because they tried to make them hills, and then they just, you guys are your baby faces. And you go ahead and do bad stuff.
We're still gonna cheer you. Yeah, you know what I mean? You gotta start being like real life. In real life, honestly. That's the thing now.
People don't see this. No, y'all's too chill. We ain't waiting for it. We got to keep pushing that Ohio propaganda.
So I know our time is almost up. I know our time is almost up with y'all here, but I guess the last thing we got to ask is, you know, there are so many people that clamoring. I don't know why, but they want to see a singles run out of the two of you. Why don't you tell the people why, man? Street Profits are in this together.
Well, so That's what I'm gonna say. Like uh Me and dogs have had sex for a very, very long time. And you know, just like with any team, with any organization, like. You know, the Jackson 5 in sync. You know, Backstreet Boys, Blackstreet, whatever it is, you know, they've always wanted to see, like, Teddy, you know, the solo acts, you know, do their thing, you know, and rightfully so.
But Um you know, once you start taking like The attention off of like just going solo and doing all the other things, then your success as a tag team just starts going down. And like, I feel like one thing that Me and Docs are very, very happy about, and that I'm specifically happy about, is that, like. Like, no matter how high or low we've gotten, like, one of the decisions of us like turning on each other has never like crossed our mind. And, like, just not to throw shade on nobody, but I'm gonna go ahead and do it. You got the Usos, you got all these tag teams that turned against their brother in like 10 years.
Like, we've never decided to do that because, like, we know like nobody wins when the family feuds.
Now, if that opportunity arises, like, arises or approaches, and me and Docs are in the red room at the same time, and we're glancing across from each other. Hey, it's a respectful thing. Like, hey, brother, like, I love you, but this is where we are right now. But, like, since we're a tag team, since we're a unit, and we ain't paying attention to that noise too much, we see it and we respect it, we love it, but like, you can't take. You know, attention off, you know, the task in hand.
That's like if a player is going to another team next year and he just starts playing like ass because he knows he's leaving. It's like now it's like the team ain't benefiting, and like everything is just being focused on what haven't even happened yet, you know.
So that's. That's kind of like my response to that, but like I said, if that opportunity approaches, then you know, I'm gonna look across my brother and be like, all right, man, I love you. But this where we th this this this is where it kinda Got to just bow to each other like samurai. Like years, man. All right, bro.
How about you, daughter? What are you feeling about that? Oh, I mean, Lord, I feel the same way, man. I ain't like... This is one of those things like it's cool to hear.
It's cool to see, like, it's cool to see the fans engage in that stuff, but... Look for one. My cardio ain't there to be a singles anyway. All right.
So, uh, yeah, I'd rather be a tag wrestler for life. But no, man, look, that's my brother, man. We've been around each other for 10 plus years.
So, obviously, like, if that opportunity ever came, like, hey, obviously, we're both going to go out there and kill it and do what we do best. And we know each other, we got each other's backs no matter what. But also too, like at the same time, like it's just... like the tag division is just heating up on smackdown you know we like we've been balling and like going up against all these tag teams and it's been awesome to see like the resurgence back and so like we don't kind of want to let that like leave Just yet. Yeah, but like obviously, yeah, you know saying we we help build it up So why would we want to like leave it and also like we brothers at the end and you know saying obviously if that opportunity ever arises Like, we know what we're both capable of.
We're going to support each other to the fullest extent. And, you know what I'm saying? Hey, if it is a thing where we're crossed from each other at Rumble. Hey, somebody's gonna have bragging rights at the dinner table next time, you know. Hey, listen, it's all fun and games until November 2nd.

He's a man. He's a wild boy, man. Yeah, buddy. Yeah, buddy. He's the man of mystery right here.
The man was. Picked by the dead man, not once, but twice. Twice. That's got to be a good sign. And you know, he might be into some shady activities.
Perhaps we're going to get into a lot of that. He's somebody that.
Okay. You see the stardom. how many directions he can go and a lot of that is You know, the choice of what he chooses, we're still going to be completely behind him. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the pod. Probably the best real name I've ever heard in sports entertainment.
But for now, we'll just call him Shiloh Hill. Welcome to the pod. Guys, thank you so much for having me. It's awesome to be here. Yeah, dude.
Thank you for sitting with us, G. Sir. Yeah, man, you just. You're just a likable dude. There's no way around it.
It's a smile, man. It's a smile. Oh, yeah, exactly, dude. Oh, yeah, we got to get into it right now because we're about to smile, bro. That tooth.
When it was on the side of the ring, I was like, oh no, this dude's wild. That's crazy. Because you always see, like, you know, being wrestling fans, we always see something fly out of somebody, but we never get the end result. You always think, is that a tooth?
Now, there's no way that's. Yeah, right. It was some spit with some gum. Yeah, gum. And then, no, no, they locked in on the tooth.
So, like, talk to us about. When you did lose the tooth, and also the mindset of, like, nah, we could use this. Yeah, yeah, no.
So my the first time I lost the tooth, I was, I think, uh, maybe 12 years old, and my, my cousin actually shot me in the mouth with a BB gun. Oh, my God. Yeah, not very nice to them. Um, but then I had got it kind of replaced. I got like a cat put on it, and then I got it punched out a couple times in like middle school, high school.
And then I had gotten it replaced when I came to WWE. And then, uh, yeah, as you said, in one of my matches, I had it kind of knocked out. And then it came out again later. And eventually I was just kind of like, man, it might not be meant to be at this point.
So many people kind of like, they appreciated that I was just rocking it without it in. And yeah, at this point, it's kind of become a little bit of a calling card. Right. Makes sense.
Now, you. We know you played football. Yeah, there was a little hockey in there too. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, dude, this dude was born to just born to bomb.
Smash people, man.
So to start at the beginning, though, you born in Mission Viejo? And then you moved to New Hampshire. Yep, I was born. My dad played Juco College at Saddleback, and I was born when he was there. And then both my parents were originally from the Northeast, and we moved back to New Hampshire.
And yeah, I went to high school and everything in New Hampshire, and then wound up at Stanford. And you got. Brothers and sisters, and you've all got some interesting names. Yeah, you got a Zion. Darkness, Phoebe, Zachary, and then your name.
Why don't you let everybody know? If we're okay with putting our government out there, why don't you let everybody know what your real name is? Yeah, government name is uh Thunder Justice Keck. Come on, come on, bro. Thunder Justice.
Get some. He's a TJ. That's why I vibe with him. You know what I'm saying? What what's the meaning behind behind your real name?
Whew, it's kind of a complex story. Really, uh, really comes down to my, my mom, kind of, my mom and my dad kind of had like a dream where they like. Basically, we're talking to like a baby, and this is before they knew they were pregnant. And they were talking to it, and it was like. Hey, by the way, like I'm your son.
I'm gonna be born soon and my name is Thunder. And so after that, they were like, Oh my gosh, we should probably get a pregnancy test. And they got one. And then when they found out they were pregnant, they were like, Not gonna not name me Thunder at that point.
So that's why they decided to go with it. That's amazing. This man knows how to get to The wildest places on the internet. Yeah.
And also. Spoke to his parents telepathically before he before he was even really formed. Dude, come on, this is the dude's bad man. Come on now.
Okay, now. You know, you played football. At Stanford, let's not bury that. He didn't just. I wanted to bury it.
Okay, because he'll explain to you why. Yeah, man. I'm an SC guy, bro.
So, you know, during my. tenure at college. We were, um Banned from bowl games. Pete Carroll, shout out to Pete Carroll making the right decision and leaving USC to go to the pros. But we got, you know, we were sanctioned.
So, the four years that I was supposed to be at college, we were banned from bowl games for four years, but I do remember. Stanford used to kick our ass like all the time.
So I have a I have a very hate, hateful relationship with Stanford. But you seem cool. You seem like a good dude. I love playing to SC, man. It's a great environment, and it was always fun to go down there and do what we do.
A little bit louder than Life on the Farm. Stanford is not notorious for audibly being the most exciting.
So it was always a fun change to go down to SC and get to compete there for sure.
Now, when. When you decided to make the move to professional wrestling. When did you get bit by that bug? Like, when was it like a, yeah, we could do this? Yeah, so that's a really good question.
Growing up, I watched a lot of wrestling. My dad was a big WWE fan.
So like from a young age, I remember like watching matches and kind of like reenacting spots with them and stuff. And it was always something that was like cool to me and close to my heart. I didn't really even think of it legitimately as like something that I could do until my senior year of college. I was kind of like training and everything, and they had sent some people to our school WWE had who are part of the name, image, and likeness program. And this was just when the NIO college like ruling was getting rolling and everything.
And I was wearing a WrestleMania shirt that day, and I was kind of like walking by the. office that they were meeting in and I went in and um They were like, Hey, do you like wrestling? I was like, Yeah, I love wrestling. And uh, they were like, Would you ever want to wrestle? I was like, Oh my gosh, like, that would be so cool.
And I, uh, I was like, Yeah, definitely. And then they started asking me more questions, and then I was like, Yeah, I'm Thunder. And they were like, Oh, you're Thunder! Like, we've heard a lot about you from your teammates and everything. Uh, they were saying you might be interested, actually.
I was like, Yeah, and uh, it just worked out timing-wise, too. It was kind of special to me because prior to that season, my dad had passed away, and so for me to get that opportunity to do something that was like very close to both of us and kind of like a cool part of our relationship as I was growing up was just like kind of a cool, full-circle moment. And so, um, I signed the NIL program and everything, and then after I was done playing football, uh, I had the opportunity to come to the PC and do a tryout. And uh, my first time on the ring, like it's kind of crazy, like going in there and feeling like how hard the mat is and running the ropes and everything. But then you just kind of once you actually get going with like another wrestler and everything, you.
You get rolling, it's such a rush and it's so much fun. And I mean, from like the first time I even did a little mini-match and practice and everything, it just became so fun to me. And it's really become like an addiction. Like every time I go out there, I have so much fun.
So, yeah, it's been cool.
Now, first, you know, we want to say, you know, sorry to hear that about your pops, but you said it. That happened the same Was it the same season? Yeah, so he passed away like right prior to that season. And then I actually, so prior to that, I hadn't been getting a lot of playing time. Funny enough, I actually started playing football my senior year of high school, like halfway through the season also.
Prior to that, like you mentioned, I played hockey and I ran track and everything. And I had some track teammates that had been like, hey, you're pretty big for a track runner. Like if you, we know you're really fast. Like if you went to like, you know, like a recruitment camp or something in the summer, you might, you might get some looks. And so I went to some camps in the summer and they did like the 40-yard dash and everything.
And I did really well there. And a couple of schools actually offered me and said, like, hey, we'll offer you a spot if you start playing. But then a couple were like, if you start playing and you show you can be like physical and everything, then we'll give you a spot. And so I started playing my senior year and they basically just put me on special teams and at like DN and told me to go hit the person with the ball. And they were like, just run as fast as you can and go drill someone.
And I did that. And my highlight tape was honestly hilarious in high school because I had no idea what was going on. But then Stanford was one of the first FBS schools that offered me a spot. And so I went there, but obviously. Obviously, everyone else knew a lot more about football than me.
Like, I remember my first day of camp showing up and being on Scout Team and looking at the card, and it said, like, bite on the screen or something. And I, like, Didn't know what to do, so I just went and like... Tackled whoever had the ball. And then they were like, They were like, Hey, the card said bite on the screen. Like, do you not know what a screen pass is?
And I was like, No. Really? And I was like, Yeah, no, I have no idea.
So, like, it was a tough learning curve for real while I was there. But prior to that season, um, I had like put in a lot of work and everything, and that was my first season where I became like a starting linebacker there. And I played that whole season and everything. And then after that, that's when I got that opportunity. And yeah, it was probably.
Uh it was COVID season, so we actually started the season late. It was probably four or five months after my dad had passed that I got that opportunity to sign with the NIL program. That is just another one, just with everything that you said about your name, even it's just another one of those things that just The universe speaks through people sometimes, you know, and that's just one of those. Perfect, right place, right time moments that you just can't ignore.
Something I wanted to ask you on top of that is: when was your Welcome to Wrestling moment where you were like, Oh, yeah, okay, this is what we're doing now?
So honestly, um I think it was the first time I lost my tooth at the PC. That'll do it. Yeah, I had like a brawl match with Brooks Jensen. I'm sure you guys are familiar. And we had a little tear shot go a little bit, miss a little bit and pick me.
And I felt the tooth kind of break and everything, and I started bleeding. And then we probably had the brawl probably continued for like four. Or five minutes after that, it was like one of my favorite matches of all time. We were going at it and it got really, really fun. And that's when I think I thought to myself, like, man, I can really do this.
And I think that moment is kind of when a lot of people in the PC started to be like, man, this guy might be able to do this. And yeah, that was like still going back and watching is like one of the most fun matches I've wrestled to this day.
So you. Play six games of high school football. And you get a scholarship to Stanford. Yeah.
You understand how insane that is, right? Yeah, no, it's a funny story in itself. That's it. So David Shaw was your coach there, correct? Yeah, he was my coach.
Okay. How how was it? Because, you know, Rich Eisen, whose show I'm on, he always speaks very highly of David Shaw, having met him once or twice myself. What was it like to have him as your coach? Yeah, I got a ton of respect for him.
He's one of the coolest dudes I've met. Great, great mentor, great role model for all of us. And yeah, he recruited so many great, great men, great athletes to the program that it was just really cool to be a part of. It's a unique experience going there and that it's rare to be able to play football at like the highest level and be around people that are pursuing academics at the highest level as well. And so, man, just an awesome, awesome experience and really cool guy to get to learn from.
And speaking of highest, in March of 23, He had, if I'm not mistaken, the highest NIL valuation of any Stanford athlete out there. Big flex. Is that correct? Yeah, that is correct, I believe. I mean, the valuation is kind of more speculation.
It doesn't always translate to real NIL deals and everything. I think a lot of that was calculation based off like social following and everything. And, you know, prior to the NIL. Laws being passed when I heard that they were going to be a thing. I started thinking about social media being something that I wanted to kind of invest a little bit into and try to grow on.
And I did that. I started like posting videos and everything online, and I did start to get that following.
So when those valuations came out, they were doing that mostly based off like following and everything. But that wasn't necessarily indicative of like deals that I was actually getting. But you were smart enough to know where the game was going, man, and you positioned yourself. You did say you were a fan growing up, so who were some of your favorites? As a kid, um, yeah, so I was a I like the Undertaker, I like Stone Cold C.
Boston. I was also a big uh horn swaggle guy, and I got to I got to meet him recently at uh WWE World when I was there. Um, and yeah, that was a cool experience for me, too. But what was it about Horn Swaggle that you like? I don't know, he's just so different, you know what I mean?
Like, it's it was it was cool, he had so many creative spots with it and everything, and yeah, just like a little kid seeing him going against bigger people and everything, it obviously resonated and it was fun to get by. That's what's up, yeah. When that music hit, it's a pop, yeah, swaggle ain't a pop, man, bro.
Now, so he said Taker, which is kind of hilarious, bro. Yeah, like Taker. Picking you twice. I mean, when you are in the finals, you should get picked first.
So, but. Talk to us a little bit about The Undertaker, you know, what it's been like to work so closely with him. And you being a fan, that's gotta be crazy. Yeah, I mean, bro, that first match of LFG, like doing the match in the PC of Brotherham was like the most nervous I've been for any match. Like me and I wrestled Anthony Luke that day, and we were in the back, like.
Bro, do you know what we're about to do right now? We're about to go out and do this. It was just still to this day was like the most nervous I've ever been. And to go from that to now, him being like a guy that I feel like I can go to with anything, you know what I mean? Like just getting advice about the business and even outside of the business stuff, like he's a dope dude to talk to.
And that's really been the craziest thing that I feel like I've learned from him throughout this experience. Obviously, I've learned so much from him about the in-ring stuff, the character stuff, all that. But just like seeing the guy who's really achieved the most you can achieve in this business, like he's. By all standards, like a top guy in this field, and to have him still be so. Like passionate and so open to helping the next generation come along is really, really cool.
You know, like he has every right to be like, kid, go do your own thing. You know what I mean? I don't have time for you, but he's not like that at all. He's like the coolest, most down-to-earth guy. And talking to him has really just become fun.
Like he's a guy I look up to a lot. He's a guy I look up to a lot now and just a mentor I feel really fortunate to have kind of in my court.
Now, um, we're 6'9, too, so you don't you have to look up. You have to look up to look at it.
Now, uh, my man TJ over here got a funny Undertaker story. Which one? The Fanatics Fest.
Okay. So, Shiloh, I've been watching The Undertaker since before he was The Undertaker. I go back, I'm old enough to remember a guy named Mean Mark Callis, who was in the skyscrapers back in the day when Undertaker popped up. I was like, that's me, Mark. What's he doing?
So, we are at Fanatics Fest in New York this year. And, you know, we got to do a pod there. We got to interview Rey Mysterio. It was amazing. And basically, anyone that you could ever want to meet was at Fanatics Fest this year, right?
So we go into a room, and there is the Undertaker sitting in this room.
So O'Shea has this belt that he got as a gift when you were what, 10 years old? 10 years old. Old WWE title belt that he had many signatures on, and Undertaker held the belt.
So he immediately goes up to Taker and gets him to sign his belt. My buddy Mike McGinnis works for Fanatics. He introduces me to Undertaker. and i go hey mark good to meet you and then i went Oh my God. And then, like, about two minutes went by in conversation, I was like, hey, I just, I have to apologize.
I'm like, I think because of the TV shows now and the podcasts, I got this feeling like I knew you. I was explaining to him when I had met him after WrestleMania 21, which was 20 years ago, but I was like, I just, I got this weird feeling that I knew you and I called you Mark. I said, I shouldn't have called you Mark. I'm sorry. And he looks at me, he goes, it's okay.
He goes, the older I get, I'm a little bit easier with stuff like that now. But it just literally like freaked me out. Like, I was like, I should not be calling Undertaker by his government name. Like, how do you think you? Right.
No, it's so crazy to like try to detach that feeling of like, if I say the wrong thing, I'm about to get chokeslammed. That took a while. It's honestly still there a little bit, but it took a while for that feeling to kind of dull down for me, too. Yeah, I was definitely shook. I mean, it's taker.
It's taker, bro. Taker.
Now, We feel the fandom coming through the screen.
So, something that I like to ask. Here on our show to people who grew up wrestling fans, let us know at a Whether it be a match, outcome, or whatever. When did wrestling Break your heart as a fan. Mm. I'd have to say the street coming to an end.
Yeah.
I knew that was going on. Especially growing up, like watching Taker and everything, that one was it for me. That's gotta hurt, dude. I remember, oh man, yeah, just like you always look at that guy, you know, that guy with his eyes. Poking out of his head.
Oh, yeah, the brother that they showed. Yeah, because he was all of us at that moment. Yeah, exactly. There's no way. I can remember I was sitting in my garage.
Watching in the garage on TV. And when that happened. It was like I had 50 things in a second went through my mind, yeah. Uh, other than what obviously just happened, I was like, Oh no, there was a glitch in the stream. Oh, the ref counted fast.
Oh, he kicked out. Oh, did I black out for a second? Like, what am I real? Like, what's happening? And I just, I didn't know, I was like, everything went through my mind except what actually happened because I was like, There's no way there's no way I just saw that, right?
Yeah, it was, oh my, it's such a cold feeling. It was like my childhood died in front of me, you know. And you know, to this day, people are still debating whether or not that was the right move. Yeah, was it the right person? I guess there's no, you know, right or wrong answer, but I know we all felt something on that day, man.
Yeah.
Yeah, I definitely felt something. And I mean, I guess that's the whole point of wrestling: to feel something. Feel something. Bro, I did not want to be feeling that on that day. You hit the nail on the head there, my man.
Absolutely.
Now, you've been around some legends in there. You've gotten obviously working with the future greats. You got any dream matches for yourself? And also, not only dream matches with the opponents. Is there any Match types that you're dying to get to: a hell in a cell, a money in the bank, a rumble.
Yeah.
Yeah, um so to answer both those questions um In terms of dream matches, so there's a ton of opponents on main roster I'd love to mix it up with. Gunther is a big one for me, and it was really cool to be able to wrestle for him on sea, like in front of him on season one. And I actually got the point that day, too, which was really cool. He's someone I would love to get in there with, and I just respect how real he makes it. And yeah, that's someone I would love to work with.
In terms of, and I also want to say this. I think we got a lot of young guys coming up right now that are going to be ones to watch, and we'll have some really cool matches in the future as well. Like, honestly, another one of my dream matches is to mix it up with Harlem Lewis and Anthony Luke and like a triple threat, who are coming up on LFG with me right now. And we've obviously had the chance to work together a lot on the show. I know at times there's a lot of animosity between us, but I think when we get in together, we put on some magic.
So I would love to put that match on one day as well. But in terms of like stipulations and everything, I would love a hell in the cell. I would also love a tables, ladders, and chairs match. There was one specific match.
So I grew up a wrestling fan, but I hadn't really been able to see a lot of live wrestling growing up. Just with being in New Hampshire, there's a pretty, I'm in a pretty rural area. Always had like a little bit of a tight budget and everything. Never got to see a lot of wrestling in person.
So when I came to the PC, I got to see a lot more in person. And there was a Tables, ladders, and scares match with the Cree brothers. That I was, it was like, that match was like Julius took like a crazy bump off the ladder and Brutus had like his ear get ripped off and everything. I was like, oh, this is going to be lit. Like, I got real excited there.
And that match sticks in my head as one of the coolest matches I've seen in person early on.
So, so that stipulation would be really fun for me as well. That's what's up.
I just got a random question, man. And what's your search history look like on your laptop? Let's just cut to the chase. That's a great question. I mean, bro, what are you doing?
I'm scared. First of all, I want to ask how you get to the dark web, but then I'm like, nah, it's probably best. I don't know. That was his major, bro. Because I don't really think I need to be on there.
But yeah, man, what's that search history looking like? Yeah.
So, I mean, honestly, the search history on the regular internet is pretty slim. On the dark web, though, it is very extensive. The way that came about is I majored in computer science while I was at Stanford, and I started. We were building basically for one of my projects, we were building a program to scan files that you download off the web for malicious content, like viruses and stuff like that.
So, as part of that project, we realized that a lot of like complex computer viruses or the actual ones that are actually like dangerous or still kind of viable weren't necessarily on the regular internet. They were being housed in like cybersecurity forums on the dark web. And so, for that project, we had to learn how to access the dark web and then, like, like. Basically, filter through it to get those viruses and then cross-reference them. But because of that, I kind of learned about the dark web.
And that was right around the same time where I was learning about like growing on social media and thinking about all that stuff. And I was like, wow, some content that would be really interesting would be to kind of search the dark web and document it in like a social media format. And so I've been doing that for a while and I've had some pretty interesting adventures, as it sounds like maybe you guys are aware of.
So yeah, it's been a journey. Where did the obsession with morbid and strange items come from? Just from that experience? Or where is this something as a kid you were always into? Ah, I I don't think as a kid at all.
I think Really, I'm not that obsessed with them. Like, really, I just kind of find them, and then everyone else is like, Man, you got to order these. I'm like, Well, I guess if everyone really wants it, like, I feel like everyone else is kind of driving the boat at this point. I'm just along for the ride on those series. Uh, but I have seen some, I have found some crazy stuff, and I encourage anyone who's unsure about what I'm talking about to check it out.
But I can't get into too much detail on it. All right, just the two things that I know of, maybe we can fill the people in who are listening and watching. You found a couple pairs of boots, right? That Can you explain what these boots were or the story?
So that one, there was a site called The Schuman, which was, and it was like kind of subtitled The Keeper of Souls. And it was like a you shoes marketplace and everything, but all the all the shoes on it were. Kind of like stained and they look super shady. And beyond that, they were also labeled with names and ages.
So I was like, what is going on here? And I found it and I posted that video. And I remember like in the first day, it got. Between all my accounts, it got something like 50 million views, and everyone was like, Oh my gosh, you got to figure out what's going on here. You got to try to buy these.
So, I ordered some, and uh, they came and they were stained in the same way that they were on the site, and they were kind of seemed to be bloodied. And they had a VHS tape in them, too. And I was like, What is going on? And uh, it took me a while to get a VCR and everything. Yeah, that pissed me off how long I was like, Man, get the VCR.
Yeah, no, me too. Um, and apparently, VCRs are like hot commodities now. Like, I literally went to like every pawn shop in Orlando. I went to one that I found one, and it was like 200 bucks. I took it home and it was broken.
Like, and I've got two VCRs in the crib right now. Yeah, no, yeah, you should sell them, man. You'll make some money. But uh, I finally got a VCR and everything, and it was just super shady stuff. And um, I don't know how to describe this.
Uh, I'm trying to give as much information as I can, but uh, There are now some people looking into those boots in particular, and I'm not necessarily supposed to give information on that, but I see what you're saying. Yeah, dude, because you have established a bit of a social media army, you know, and in this day and age, when it comes to a superstar and their brand, like you got a bunch of people behind you, man, this early on in your career. I know it's. I know it's some shady tactics happening, but that's also like really cool. Like, that's really cool that you have such a support system so early.
The leeches got me. The Legions, I was like, all right, this is enough, dude. I'm down. I'm too far down around here. Yeah, those ones bother me too.
I mean, I encounter a lot of stuff. I also, there's a robot that now lives with me, which is like an AI-controlled one. The beast. Yeah, the beast. And yeah, that's turned into a whole nother situation and then a whole other topic we could get into.
But it's been something that's been a really. Unique experience to be able to document, and it's been really cool to see how many people are interested in that. It's funny you mentioned that in like alignment with wrestling because every time I post a wrestling video or like of like an LFG clip or like anything from the PC, people are like, Wait, you're a wrestler? I feel like a lot of people know me, like just from the dark web stuff, and are now just learning that I'm wrestling and everything, too.
So, my kind of long-term goal with that is to be able to take those people who are passionate about what I'm doing online and bring them into the WWE universe as wrestling fans. And for me, that's going to be gratifying because obviously both things are things that I'm passionate about, but it's going to be really cool to take those people who I think are going to be interested in wrestling and kind of be able to show them it firsthand.
Now the What makes you so Just the directions that you can go, the reason why you're just, you can go anywhere is because you do have such a welcoming personality, but we've also seen you hit that switch where, like, you don't want to mess with that direction. The man loves physicality. He did hockey, football, and wrestling. Like, you know, he's all there for it, he'll go. With the A mixture with the dark web stuff.
You just never know when he's going to snap. It's just so many stories that he can do.
So many characteristics you can.
Now, the whole point of interviews like this and what we've tried to use our pod for is to get people aware of superstars and their personalities and what they can bring, not only inside the ring, but who they are on the outside of the ring. And that shines through you. Tell us why people should watch LFG. I think LFG is really just a cool way to see. Actually, what it takes to be a WWE superstar.
You know what I mean? That's the whole kind of premise of the show: letting fans in and seeing what goes into one, being a wrestler, and then two, the process of creating a wrestler, because we're being mentored by obviously the PC staff and then the legends as well. And they're telling us. Kind of molding us into superstars.
So it's a really cool opportunity for fans to see not only who we are and what we do, but also how wrestlers and their favorite superstars have been created and been kind of molded into what they see on TV.
So that would be my biggest pitch in terms of watching it is just to see kind of the process and how we grow. What has been the best thing about this new journey? And what has been the hardest thing about this new journey as a sports entertainer, professional wrestler? The best thing honestly has been uh getting to know the WW universe. Like, I wasn't necessarily sure how I would be received.
You know, like, obviously, I got weird hobbies and tendencies and everything like that. And from the outside in, I wasn't sure how it was going to be coming to the PC and getting to know everyone. But it's honestly been the most inclusive and coolest community I've ever been a part of. Like, this is one of the first times in my life where I felt like at home and like a genuine insider to a community. And like everyone I talk to and everyone I've interacted with, I feel like I feel like genuine love from them and understanding for them.
So that's been the coolest part. In terms of the hardest part, Hmm. I would say probably trying to figure out how to. How to like define myself, you know what I mean? Like you said, I've got a lot of interests and a lot of different things that I do, and trying to figure out how to package that in a way that people can understand.
Because, like you said, I do kind of have a very, like, what's the word? A very, Hmm. Diverse, eclectic. Very intentional side, like a I'm someone who thinks a lot about stuff. Yeah.
But I also do have a very chaotic and like sporadic side.
So. Uh figuring out how to like Let people know get to know both of those sides. I mean, it's probably been the the hardest part so far, but it's something that I think is a really good problem to have and something a challenge I'm like really excited to attack. And isn't that half the reason, half the part of being there? Helping you develop that character, figuring out what works for you.
So when you are ready for that main roster presentation, you got everything clicking, right? Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And I mean, it's been so amazing to be here at the PC and start my wrestling journey here where so many people want to be, like being able to learn from Fit Finley, Terry Taylor, Coach Carino, Coach Wesson, Coach Winkler, all my coaches, man. They've all helped me so much. I can't tell you how cool it is to be able to learn from these guys that are so passionate about what we do and so excited to help the next generation. Like it's really, really fun. Who are who are some of the guys you're or even girls who that you're closest with down there?
Because we always wonder, like, what do you guys do like when you're you're not wrestling? Who are some of the cats you just hang out with and just kick it with? Yeah, I would say like the way you come in, you usually come in with like a class of. It can be anywhere from like five to ten people. Attend wrestlers and um Are the class you come in with, like for the first like maybe four or five months, you're working just with them and everything and learning how to do all like how to bump, how to do different moves and everything.
And you're also doing things like unloading the truck and putting the ring together, set up the ring and everything. And that's something like I've really had a good time with. And like I love doing stuff like that. I'm a very like hands-on guy.
So being able to go in and unload the ring and everything with my boys has been really fun. And the class that I came in with, I feel like we've got a lot of talent. Of people that are on LFG, it's me, Anthony Luke, Harlem Lewis, Troy Yearwood was in our class as well. And then Callie, you just spoke with her, Kendall Gray. Darion.
Like we've we've got a awesome, very, very talented class that uh I've really grown to to um be pretty tight with and really love.
So yeah, they're they're kind of my squad as of now. But man, there's so many older talent that I look up to as well. That's what's up.
Yeah, dude, you got you know, you you're You got a real opportunity here because it's hard to be. The guy that As a fan, you look like You'll want to hang out with that dude, but also be the badass at the same time. And you got it. Like, you can really flip that any type of way you want. And it'd be a dangerous person to have on a roster because, like, you just don't know what that character is going to do.
So, like, let's just keep him on our side. And it just gives you so many avenues to work with.
Something that we asked Oba Femi down at the PC. Which one of those coaches do you just? Not want to hear from? Who is the principal of the PC? Who is the guy that's like, all right.
If he's talking to me, I did something wrong. Yeah, all right, here we go. Ooh. That's a great question. I mean.
You know, you're in for it if you got to have a conversation with them. Hmm. I don't know if I've been in for it yet. You know what I mean? So I don't necessarily know.
I'm trying to think. I feel like if you really mess up, you'll usually hear from Coach Bloom or HBK. They're probably the two who will give you a stern talking to if you really mess up. But fortunately, I've yet to have to encounter that. Knock on wood, knock on wood.
You know, a lot of things I share with some of the NXT kids, and I say kids because I'm older than all of you, but and none of them seem to know. Do you know about Matt Bloom's football career? I do know about it only because I played Pitt in a full game one time and we won.
So I'll talk about that. And yeah, that's kind of the extent of what I know. But you got any more intel for me? Yeah, well, Shelly, I can remember because I am from Pittsburgh. I lived in Pittsburgh around the same time, and he.
He was bouncing at a bar restaurant that my roommate's girlfriend. Was a waitress at.
So I never gotten any crap, but I can tell you that there was a lot of times when, like, There was this bar on Pitts campus, and there was a guy named Reuben Brown who went on to become all-pro lineman in the NFL for the Bills and a few other teams. I think the Bears as well. And I can just remember there'd be times where there was always tough guys in this bar called Chauncey's, and then Matt Bloom and Reuben Brown would walk in, and then you would literally all the tough guys all of a sudden weren't so tough anymore. And I'd see it happen, man. I hear cats with their chests all puffed up.
Those two cats in the cupboard linemen walk in all of a sudden be like, okay.
So, yeah, I don't doubt it at all, man. I don't doubt it at all. He's still, he's still, when he wants to be intense, he can still be real intense. I'd love it. I'd love it.
Now, TJ, speaking of bars, we have our number one question that we ask every guest. It's always fun to ask. You're in the bar, Silo. All right, there's 50 dudes in that bar. who probably worked for the shoemen.
All right.
They don't want you in there. They don't know how to access the dark web and they're upset. Yeah, they don't want you in there. We need you to pick a team of you. And four other superstars of any era.
Any era, anytime. four other superstars to make sure you're making it home that night. That's an awesome question. I'm glad it was that question because when you said speaking of bars, I thought I was going to have to freestyle or something like that. But in terms of five over two stars, you and four.
So I think I'll go and any era, too. Any era, man. Any era. I think I'm going Brock Lesnar. Yeah, of course.
You're great. Prime Taker. Mm. I think I'm going. Jacob Fatu?
Okay, yeah. And Hmm. We've had some beef as of late, but I think I'm going Harlem Lewis. All right, yeah, absolutely. That's a solid squad.
Look, sometimes you got to put your personal differences aside to make it to the whip. Yeah.
We tried that question with Liv, and she did not pick Rhea. Yeah, we were trying to get Liv Morgan to pick Rhea, and she was like, I know what you're saying, and I'm not picking. Yeah, we are. Chill, chill. All right, so Shiloh, before we let you go, man, another one of our favorite questions here is: I don't know if you knew this, but at No Contest Wrestling, we have a time machine.
Okay, so what we like to do in this time machine is some dark web stuff. We're gonna give you a chance to get in this time machine, brother, and you get to travel. at any point through time, right? I want you to pick. Three, give me three wrestlers of any era.
That you would like to bring back and have a main event WrestleMania banger with actually, no, give me five. Five five wrestlers of any era that you would be like, man, I would love to bring them back or go back to their time and have a main event WrestleMania match with. Would it be?
Okay. Okay, I think I'm going Uh I mean, obviously, with the way LFG is set up, I got to say Taker. You know what I mean? To be able to go there and see what he can do. That would be really, really cool.
He's one. I would say Stone Cold as well. That would be super cool. Um I think I would I'd want to see what Hulka Mania is all about. I'd want to be out there and experience that.
And then.
So three. Three, got two more. Honestly, Sean. Like, I feel like Mr. WrestleMania.
Mr. WrestleMania. Yeah, if there's anyone I could go out with and they could lead me to an amazing match, I think it'd be Sean. And then.
I don't want to influence you, right? But can I just give you a name that I would. Bray Wyatt. Oh, I was actually that was gonna be what I was gonna say if you if you didn't say that right there, yeah man. Um, yeah, that would be super cool.
And and just with the timing of like when I got into wrestling and everything, um, you know, obviously he was he was really popping like right when I was getting recruited into the NIL program and everything. And he was someone who I was like, man, to be able to work him like one day would be really, really cool. And I was just, I thought everything he was doing was so cool. And yeah, that's a that's a great pick for sure. I would, I would definitely put that on the list.
Dude, I'll never forget that extreme rules when you're here. He's got the whole world. Oh my God. In his hands. And look, the white six don't have six.
Yeah, or. TJ, there you go with them creative liberties. Listen, man, I'm not trying to sweat Shiloh Hill, but I remember watching LFG Dog, and I saw you, and I was just like, I don't know what it is, right? But I'm like, this dude here, he's got. If it's not it, it's something close to it.
It's gonna turn into it. Yeah.
So yeah, man. Like, I feel, bro, like, you got you got a huge opportunity ahead of you, man. And I think you got a chance to really make a name for yourself in this business, bro. Yeah, you'll always have our support. We will push the Shiloh Hill propaganda on the clean internet, wherever you want us to push it off, bro.
You always got a home here on no contest, bro. Thank you for your time. You got a hell of a future in front of you, and we can't wait to see you. Thank you so much, man. It's been awesome, awesome being able to talk to y'all.

I'm just telling you. I gotta go do my primary job. I gotta go do a movie. I gotta go film.
So it's gonna be, we're still trying to figure out exactly what things are gonna be, but we're still gonna provide you with no contest wrestling. Yeah, we ain't stopping nothing. We ain't stopping, you know. Could be me, could be a guest host, could be him zooming. We don't know yet.

And make sure you have a good day, but not too good because who the hell do you think you are? Bye, Ms. Parker. Bye, Ms. Parker.
Do you Hey folks, let me tell you that drinking and driving is a decision that will change your whole world. Things will never be the same once you get a DUI because legal fees and time in court are just the beginning. Getting into a crash is another way your world could be irreversibly changed after drinking and driving. Your vehicle may not be the only thing that gets damaged in that crash. You could face a life-altering injury or even death, but you're not the only one who could face those consequences.
Your decision to drink and drive could permanently change someone else's world, whether you injured them or leave their loved ones grieving. The next time you're out drinking, call a rideshare, a taxi, a sober friend, or a designated sober driver. Always plan for a safe ride home. The only decision that will change your world for the better is the decision to call for a sober ride. It is never worth it to drive drunk.
Don't risk it. Drive sober. or get pulled over. Paid for by NHTSA.
