Speaker 4 (01:00):
Of course, it's football season. He's in the playoff.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Cooper is undefeated and they have a huge matchup coming
up this weekend, so he's got to be a little
bit locked.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
In on that. We don't mind him at all, though.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
We are bringing in a special guest along a way
to guess that we've been wanting to have for such
a long time. You guys watch NXT on the CW
network every Tuesday night. We have assistant general manager on
with us, my man mister Stone. Long time coming, brother,
How you been?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Hey, I'm glad we finally did it, and I was
not expecting. First of all, that was a very cool
intro leading into the show, and then you gave me
a really good interest. So now see, I was gonna
yell at you for not dressing up for the occasion
with me being on, but then I realized I'm also
not dressed up.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
For the occasion. I came from the gym, So we'll
kind of call a truce to start this off a
good intro. We're both kind of dressed the same. It's
all good.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
If I would have known that you would have been
in your closet, I would have asked to raid like
a nice dress up shirt or something.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Hey, if I turned this camera right now, you would
see about over one hundred suits lined up color coordinator.
But I'm not even I'm not even gonna show you
that side of the closet.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
That's how professionals do it. I only get suited up
here whenever I have to go to like the Kentucky
Derby or something other than that.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
You're catching me on one of my best dress days.
It's usually some sort of hoodie and joggers.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
So hey, you know, you gotta be cozy, you gotta
be comfortable.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Absolutely, dude.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Well, once again, dude, thank you for taking time out
of your busy schedule. I know you had a lot
of stuff going on today, huge week in NXT, and
I can't even stress enough how cool it is having
NXT on here. Actually, by the way, mister Stone, you
are a first ever an XT guest. We've had on
main roster people, we've had on OBW people, so you
(02:43):
are the first person a part of the other WWE
bridge that's been on our show.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
So big, big collaps to you, my friend.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
That Well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I mean, I feel special, and you know what's so
crazy about that I'm your first guest, but I'm also actually,
I believe so the longest raining I think I've been
on television and NXT the longest right now of everyone
on the current product is that that's been mainstay on
TV for almost about six years.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
And I'm pretty sure that.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Everyone else has either went up to our SmackDown or
out or wherever they went.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And I'm still standing strong in NXT and I could
be happier.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
About it, absolutely, And you have such a fun role
right now too. You're kind of in the mix where
you can get into the ring, you can do your
stuff there, but you're also working backstage and playing an
integral part and some of the storylines going on. And
right now, like I said, you're the assistant GM of Raw.
You're working with Ava, who had just got promoted, you know,
to the GM this past year. So kind of tell
(03:43):
talk to us and tell the fans, like what's that
like kind of balancing whether the backstage roll and sometimes
dress to go out and like on the camera and
do your stuff there. How's that been for you, especially
on the NXT developmental brand.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well, it's great, And you know, not saying I'm the
only one, but I do like to consider myself someone
who could kind of do anything, you know. I've last year,
I commentated a few episodes of Level Up. Last year,
I wrestled a few matches last year. I produced a
few matches.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Last year.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I helped make a few matches with Ava as an
on air talent. I've managed guys, so I you kind
of listen anything in wrestling, and I kind of have
done it all in the last year or two, which
is cool.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
But I love that. I just I love dipping my
toes and everything and trying to learn.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
We were kind of talking about that a little bit,
me and you before we went on the air, about
what you do at your job, about how you could
kind of do everything, and I kind of feel I'm
like that, and I like that.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I just I like you could ask me to do
any and I could do it, and if I don't
know how to do it, I'm going to learn learn
to do it very quickly.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Absolutely, in your company, and it's about like being there
whenever it's available, and you've done that your whole career.
Of course, you've been at other wrestling promotions and you've
gotten your character over so many times. I remember being
a big fan of you when you were Robbie back
in the old TNA days, and that was always a
fun playoff of the Jersey Shore. That's one of the
(05:07):
things that I wanted to talk about because me and
my co host Billy, we get on here and we
talk about the character side of wrestling, and we've had
some of the most outlandish characters on our show, like
Al Snow. He's really big into development and characters and
stuff like that, and he talks about how everyone should
have a character and how it should be defined. You yourself,
(05:28):
have gotten over with the character of Robbie E way
back in the day, and you find a way to
just keep making the work. And I've always wanted to
ask selfishly, were you yourself a fan of Jersey Shore.
I know you're from the Northeast, and I know you
liked that stuff. Was that just something that you can
have fun with or were he just more or less
trying to tongue in cheek make fun of it or
what was that whole thing?
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Like one hundred.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Percent huge fan? Was then since the first episode, me
and my wife watched.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
It all the clubs and bars that they went to
in my early twenties and I mean my late twenties too,
I went to also, so I know all those places,
I know the areas, I actually know some of them
that were on the cast, And Yeah, I loved it.
And then when I was approached to do the character,
I mean, it was like a no brainer.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
It was cake. I didn't have to think. It was
kind of who I am.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Like all my maybe my hair wouldn't have been as
high as it was, but like a lot of my
friends their hair was that high and you know, and
they did dress like that.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So it was very natural to me. And I'm still
a fan of the show.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
I still watch Oh yeah. It was one of the
things that was back when I was in high school.
We always used to watch it. Me and my friends
would like call each other and be on the phone
and talk about it.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Pauly D was hilarious.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
And this was also at a time where I know
TNA has kind of gotten back and Impact Wrestling has
gotten back with like a contract with WWE, and now
you're starting to see some crossover there. But this is
when TNA was like a legit competition to WWE and
kind of running with them, and I was always a
big fan of that going forward. So why that stuff
and just having you on the podcast is really really
(07:02):
cool and just understanding the character part of what goes
on and in wrestling itself. I know that there's a
lot of other companies out there that really like the
work rate of it and which we totally understand is
wrestling fans that is you know, such a thing. But
pro wrestling is so character driven and the people that
get it get it. Is that still a thing? And
(07:23):
I know you're working kind of in the backstage and
you're one of the the please excuse me when I
say this, one of the elder wrestlers.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
In the Okay, I like it.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
I'm pretty to just take it as like a compliment. Right,
I'm pretty sure a lot of the younger talents always
trying to ask some of the guys that's been around
a while what they can do to help out. Is
is is having character development and character driven? Is that
still like a main focal thing? At least in the
NXT locker room?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
It is in all of you know, wrestling and all
of sports entertainment. Even if you're not a character, right,
You're still a character. Even if you're just a a
plain vanilla guy. It's like, what's your backstory? Like everyone
has something to them. But the more you could add
to it and the more the people could connect with it, I.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Mean, the more it's gonna get over.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But you know, it's not necessarily like the old days
where you're gonna have, you know, a clown and a
guy with a guitar and a drummer and it be
so kind of like cartoonish.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
You know, times have changed.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Things evolved, but there everyone still has a character. It
just might be more of, you know, a character you
gotta look more into to learn about or watch more
to learn about.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Yeah, you more or less kind of live the life
when you were kind of going through your character change.
So it's probably a little bit easier for you to
dive into. And whether it depends on who it is
either tones it up a bit or just kind of
tones it down for the television. So I just always
thought that that was, you know, a cool thing, and
just hearing about that's really really cool because character you
have to get over.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
You have to make sure people care about you.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
I've always thought I'm not a worker myself, but I've
always thought that some of the work rate can kind
of come a little bit second, and I would be
fine with that because your character has to make me
believe on screen.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Well, that's the thing about wrestling. It's opinionated, right.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Some people like characters more, some people like in ring Moore,
some people you know, everyone likes things and that's.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Why it's so great.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But I've always you know, I'm a big character guy
coming up. You know, when I started, I had so
many different characters that I tried. I was a pop
star and I had set microphone and I sang on
my way to the ring and more polka dots.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Obviously was Jersey Shore.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I was a valedictorian, where I was like a guy
who graduated college but still attended college. I was like
the creepy older guy who still went to college parties
even when I graduated college. Already I was a part
of a thing called the Moxie Family where we were
like Italian guys, almost similar to what Tony D's doing
on nxteen.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I've always played with characters and had fun doing them,
and similar to you, that's kind of what I enjoy.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Yeah, and once again, and I think that that stuff's
really really cool just to come across the screen as
believable and lock me in take my money. So for
doing it and being such a believable character. And even
if you have to done silly stuff in the past,
it's related to a lot of people. And that's the
stuff that kind of gets you.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Noticed.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
We were just talking about NXT and NXT and it's
it's such a huge deal.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
You guys had just made the switch from the USA network.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Now you're on CW and guys have had all these
what's going on We'll get into the most recent episodes,
but what's that switch to the network ced W? What's
that been like for both you and all the other
superstars in the company.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
What's the mindset going on in XT right now?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
You know, you always get that little boost of energy
with a switch because you feel like, you know, maybe
some more eyes or some new eyes will be on
the product.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
So even though you always work.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Your hardest, maybe it pushes you to work a little harder.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
To create some more excitement, which it has.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
And I mean the thing about NXT and it's for
our SmackDown also, it's everything going on. But NXT, I
think everyone now knows when you turn it on every
week to expect the unexpected. You don't know who's going
to show up, You don't know what's going to happen,
You don't know what wild thing is going to happen.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I think by the end of every episode, people are
saying actually excited to tune in the following week to
see storylines continue, to see the matches that are being made.
So it's just an exciting time for like all of
all of the ww.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
You know, yeah, absolutely, And you just mentioned it right there,
mister sone expect the unexpected.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
That's it's always been.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Wrestling just such a hot thing because it makes you
want to turn the channel right, it makes you want
to this makes you want to see what happens next.
And here in NXT it's been so hot recently. You've
had the last couple episodes that's made people like, wow,
I wasn't expecting that to happen. I want to go
back just a couple of weeks ago NXT twenty three hundred.
It was at the famous Philly building where ECW started.
(11:54):
You're a Northeasterner yourself. What was that like being in
that building having a a WWE NXT tape show there?
Speaker 4 (12:01):
And of course you've got to have all come back.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
I mean, you saw Don Marine, saw RVD, the Dudley Boys,
you yourself had a run in with Rhino, So what
was that like?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
It was so cool?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I mean, so I performed in the twenty three hundred
arena before it was the twenty three hundred, and when
I guess, I guess it was still called the ECW
Arena only or even had a name in probably two
thousand and two. So like twenty two years ago when
it was still full on, it looked a lot different
than it does now. Yeah, it looked a lot different
(12:34):
than it does now. So throughout the years, I have
been back to it, you know, for different shows. Actually
my first ever when I was a part of TNA,
my first ever live event for TNA was in twenty
ten and it was against Rhido to go figure. Fourteen
years later, he's still agoring me in the same building.
But it was cool to see a lot of old friends, like,
(12:54):
you know, Don Marie from my town. I'm friends with
Francine Nunzio, you know, Dudley's just guys that I've worked with,
Guys that I've traveled with.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
To see them again, to see them also kind of.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Get their flowers, returning to the building and getting some exposure.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
It was just it was just a really cool night.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
And I hope, I hope it's something that kind of
maybe happens yearly or something.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It's just such a successful show and it created so
much excitement and I think the fans were pleased it
wasn't a letdown. You know, you get built up for things.
Sometimes you watch and you kind of go, oh, that
wasn't that good. I mean, it was phenomenal. It was
a great episode. The crowd was hot all night, The
people got their money's worth and it was It left
me wanting more and I think everybody else too.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
I guess kind of talking about that, you know, the
the NXT show was so unique, and so is the
set up. You had the nxta arena down there in Orlando,
and you've been you've been on the main roster, You've
been around everywhere. What makes it more unique to perform
in front of that NXT crowd and especially at a
place like that. What what how does NXT stand out
(13:57):
and performing in that arena than anywhere that you person
ever performed.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Well, the thing is when you when you're in the
same location for most of the time, you get a
lot of the.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Same hardcore fans every week.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
So it's similar to the cult following almost that ECW
how when it started when it was only a DCW
arena and they built these crazy fans who were so
invested in everything that was going on.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
That's kind of what happens at NXT.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
You know, we have these same die hard, hardcore NXT
fans that come every week that are so invested and
know the characters. They see us arrive at the building
and leave the building, and whether they hate us or
love us, they're just they put everything into it, almost
like they're a part of the show.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
So that just you know, makes it takes it to
a whole other level.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
There's no fans in the audience who you know, don't
know what's going on, or it's their first time at
a show. They are there and they are they are involved.
You know, it's like one big family.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
And that's what I figured because you can honestly feel
it on the screen too, and and honest almost reminds
me of how they do things here in Louisville. Of course,
we're home of Ohio Valley Wrestling that used to be
the home of the developmental program before NXT was a thing,
and it's just such a small compact but into an
arena where you kind of get to learn and cut
your teeth in the business. I see a lot of
(15:13):
that reflection on the NXT set to wrestled here in Louisville.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I have I have one time I wrestled for OVW Man.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I wish I could remember whoever one time one time
I did Yes, yeah, yeah, same cool atmosphere.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I remember the building and.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Uh yeah, areena a bit about performing in like those
small It's almost like you get more nervous and it's
more nerve wracking when you're in that small setting and
it's tight and the fans are packed in and you
see that red light on.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
There's something about.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Small buildings that just it brings like an extra energy
to the situation.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
And it's it's the same thing as a fan.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Dude, when you're sitting there watching it, you feel like
you can connect to the wrestlers a little bit more.
Your chance actually, ards, I got to watch your mouth
when you're trying to talk some issues. It's a little
bit more experience. I was talking to you off air
and I said that we gotcha podcast. I lied to
you because I have to ask. You've been in the
ring toe to toe with now Rhino and now you've
(16:15):
been in the ring toe to toe with bron Breaker.
If you're got you got the option, who are you
not taking this far from more?
Speaker 4 (16:23):
I got we gotta know for the fans.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I think, uh, I think I think I might have
been a little more laid out from Bronze.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I think I'm a little more laid out from bron Breakers.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Yeah, I mean, he's doing big things on the WWE roster.
You got to work with him and kind of like
as he's developing, and I all spears are created equally,
but when you have a freak athlete like that that
can like hit the ropes at like something like twenty
miles an hour or something that he does, it's probably
does not feel really good.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, my rib definitely still from a year ago when
I felt it Halloween, have a glad year.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I think it's still a little something something on it.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Hey, I don't I don't blame you. That's why I'm
a podcaster. I'm on this end of it.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
You know.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
I've always always been kind of a whist when it
came to that stuff. I secretly want to take a bump,
but at the same time, I don't want to feel
I'm in my thirties now, so I don't want to
feel it for like another three weeks here. Of course,
in more shape than me, you've done it for a while,
so it's surprised that that even you're still feeling the effect.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah, well, hey, you're in your thirties, that's a good
place to be. I'm in my forties. So even believe me,
I don't want to. I'm not toning down the gore
from Rhino because that did not feel good. Also, but
if I had to pick one, I guess from.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
But I got it, and let's talk about like I said, well,
we'll kind of continue on a couple more questions from NXC.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
We'll go ahead and get you out of here, complete
on with your day. It was such a.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Huge uh, just a couple of days ago, uh, with
your recorded show, and the biggest talking points coming out
of that, of course was chase you they're they're they're
no longer a thing man, So what do you think
that's gonna be like going forward? Now you have ridg
Holland kind of on top of the world, ready to
challenge Williams and for next semester.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Well, I'll tell you this. The next day, I went
to the gym. There's a true story. I went to
the gym. I was working out and someone's talking to me.
I take my headphones out. It's an older guy and
he said, it looked right at me, and you know,
I'm wondering what he's going to ask, and I.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Have to talked to the guy before. But he goes,
is Chase You really done? Can you not?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
This is an old man at the Jim said this
to me. So that's how everyone feels about it. That's
how sad everyone is about the Chase You situation. Everybody
loves Chase You. If you're a bad guy, if you're
a good guy, if you're a what I like. If
you don't like Chase You, there's got to be something.
I think Rich Holland is the only person who probably
doesn't like Chase You because they're fun to watch, they're
(18:50):
great in the ring, they're good people.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
But yeah, it's kind of sad.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I mean, it's gonna be different when you don't look
at the audience and see all the Chase.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
You shirts, right, Yeah, yeah, I mean props to Rich Holland.
He's going to Deadline right now to go one on
one with Trick Williams for the NXT Championship. So he
got what he wanted. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I guess next Tuesday, we'll see what that first week
is like. When when they're not a part of it.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Yeah, I guess school is not in anymore.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Out school's out for the summer the time being a
winter or whatever it is. But that's all I wanted
to talk about was Deadline coming up. It's going to
be a Minnesota at the Harmory Arena. You as a
GM of NXT, what are you looking forward to the most?
And for people that's going to be tuning into NXC,
maybe watching it for the first time they have in
a while, what do you think fans can expect from
(19:37):
that show?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
We have your your Iron Survivor matches, which are always
super exciting to watch. But I mean we just talked
about it, NXT Championship. You know, it doesn't get bigger.
Trick Williams Ridge, Holland Ridge.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Is on such a a war.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Path right now. I don't know, if you know, I
don't know if is Trick ready. I mean, Trick is
always ready, but is he?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
So we're going to see.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
So it's going to be a great main event. Bringing
NXT to Minnesota is gonna be great. It's been a while, so, uh,
you know, as always, NXT's going to deliver on the
biggest platform on this huge p l E.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And I just get to sit back and enjoy it, you.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Know, absolutely, hope take any spears or I'm gonna be
hiding I think any super kicks from anybody. Well, of course,
once again we are speaking with NXT g M. We
are speaking with mister Stone once again. Assistant GM.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, we don't want to get ave upset.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Assistant no, no, no, I listen. I don't want to mess
with that family at all. They are going through a
lot right now.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
So once again, I want to thank you for coming
on the show, and we're gonna have a Thanksgiving. Holidays
start next week. I know that you're a family man.
You have any traditions for Thanksgiving coming up? You guys
split going you and your wife split? Going to different
uh in law's house or how's that done?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
So we uh her family's outside of Philly, mine's in Jersey.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
So we are going to Philly and we'll be with
her family for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
But then the next follow the following days we'll see
my family.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Yeah, awesome, that should be a good time.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
You have any you have any overrated like Thanksgiving foods?
I always try to ask that to people. It's like
you always fun to connect with food. I'll just go
ahead and start out first. I do not like stuffing
as much as everybody else does. Makes it a huge thing,
and we can't eat until there's stuffing's done.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
To hell with that. I could care less about stuffing.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, no, I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
And you know, I don't want to sound like a
big party pooper here when I say this, because I
love Thanksgiving. I love the idea of it, the comfort
that Christmas is close, all that stuff, but the actual meal.
I mean, if you get a really good turkey, it's great,
like a lean, juicy turkey, love it.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
But everything else it's just kind of there. I don't know.
There's not many other things.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
That like, when you really think about it, is it
that great?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
No, I can't see terrible.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
No, it all depends. And I know some people like
do it a little bit different now. I know people
that like, what do you call it, like smoke? They
just do it a little bit more than your traditional
leave it in the oven all day and the whole
house smells like it.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
But it's really at the end of the day.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
For me, as I get into my thirties, it's more
or less about the football and just being with family.
I mean like it's fun too as a blood kid
get to eat at your mom and dad's house for free.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Well, dude, once again, I want to thank you for

of these people on the main roster and it will
be such a cool thing to say, Hey, I remember

the locker room know that they are more than invited
to come on the show if they ever want to

want to talk sports or just kind of talk about
what's going on in life. We're the kind of guys
to talk to. So just let anybody know it's an
open invitation. You're more than welcome back for any time.

Billy Billy the kid Pricket is out.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Of course, it's football season. He's in the playoff.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Cooper is undefeated and they have a huge matchup coming
up this weekend, so he's got to be a little
bit locked.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
In on that. We don't mind him at all, though.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
We are bringing in a special guest along a way
to guess that we've been wanting to have for such
a long time. You guys watch NXT on the CW
network every Tuesday night. We have assistant general manager on
with us, my man mister Stone. Long time coming, brother,
How you been?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Hey, I'm glad we finally did it, and I was
not expecting. First of all, that was a very cool
intro leading into the show, and then you gave me
a really good interest. So now see, I was gonna
yell at you for not dressing up for the occasion
with me being on, but then I realized I'm also
not dressed up.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
For the occasion. I came from the gym, So we'll
kind of call a truce to start this off a
good intro. We're both kind of dressed the same. It's
all good.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
If I would have known that you would have been
in your closet, I would have asked to raid like
a nice dress up shirt or something.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Hey, if I turned this camera right now, you would
see about over one hundred suits lined up color coordinator.
But I'm not even I'm not even gonna show you
that side of the closet.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
That's how professionals do it. I only get suited up
here whenever I have to go to like the Kentucky
Derby or something other than that.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
You're catching me on one of my best dress days.
It's usually some sort of hoodie and joggers.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
So hey, you know, you gotta be cozy, you gotta
be comfortable.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Absolutely, dude.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Well, once again, dude, thank you for taking time out
of your busy schedule. I know you had a lot
of stuff going on today, huge week in NXT, and
I can't even stress enough how cool it is having
NXT on here. Actually, by the way, mister Stone, you
are a first ever an XT guest. We've had on
main roster people, we've had on OBW people, so you
(02:43):
are the first person a part of the other WWE
bridge that's been on our show.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
So big, big collaps to you, my friend.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
That Well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I mean, I feel special, and you know what's so
crazy about that I'm your first guest, but I'm also actually,
I believe so the longest raining I think I've been
on television and NXT the longest right now of everyone
on the current product is that that's been mainstay on
TV for almost about six years.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
And I'm pretty sure that.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Everyone else has either went up to our SmackDown or
out or wherever they went.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And I'm still standing strong in NXT and I could
be happier.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
About it, absolutely, And you have such a fun role
right now too. You're kind of in the mix where
you can get into the ring, you can do your
stuff there, but you're also working backstage and playing an
integral part and some of the storylines going on. And
right now, like I said, you're the assistant GM of Raw.
You're working with Ava, who had just got promoted, you know,
to the GM this past year. So kind of tell
(03:43):
talk to us and tell the fans, like what's that
like kind of balancing whether the backstage roll and sometimes
dress to go out and like on the camera and
do your stuff there. How's that been for you, especially
on the NXT developmental brand.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well, it's great, And you know, not saying I'm the
only one, but I do like to consider myself someone
who could kind of do anything, you know. I've last year,
I commentated a few episodes of Level Up. Last year,
I wrestled a few matches last year. I produced a
few matches.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Last year.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I helped make a few matches with Ava as an
on air talent. I've managed guys, so I you kind
of listen anything in wrestling, and I kind of have
done it all in the last year or two, which
is cool.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
But I love that. I just I love dipping my
toes and everything and trying to learn.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
We were kind of talking about that a little bit,
me and you before we went on the air, about
what you do at your job, about how you could
kind of do everything, and I kind of feel I'm
like that, and I like that.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I just I like you could ask me to do
any and I could do it, and if I don't
know how to do it, I'm going to learn learn
to do it very quickly.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Absolutely, in your company, and it's about like being there
whenever it's available, and you've done that your whole career.
Of course, you've been at other wrestling promotions and you've
gotten your character over so many times. I remember being
a big fan of you when you were Robbie back
in the old TNA days, and that was always a
fun playoff of the Jersey Shore. That's one of the
(05:07):
things that I wanted to talk about because me and
my co host Billy, we get on here and we
talk about the character side of wrestling, and we've had
some of the most outlandish characters on our show, like
Al Snow. He's really big into development and characters and
stuff like that, and he talks about how everyone should
have a character and how it should be defined. You yourself,
(05:28):
have gotten over with the character of Robbie E way
back in the day, and you find a way to
just keep making the work. And I've always wanted to
ask selfishly, were you yourself a fan of Jersey Shore.
I know you're from the Northeast, and I know you
liked that stuff. Was that just something that you can
have fun with or were he just more or less
trying to tongue in cheek make fun of it or
what was that whole thing?
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Like one hundred.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Percent huge fan? Was then since the first episode, me
and my wife watched.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
It all the clubs and bars that they went to
in my early twenties and I mean my late twenties too,
I went to also, so I know all those places,
I know the areas, I actually know some of them
that were on the cast, And Yeah, I loved it.
And then when I was approached to do the character,
I mean, it was like a no brainer.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
It was cake. I didn't have to think. It was
kind of who I am.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Like all my maybe my hair wouldn't have been as
high as it was, but like a lot of my
friends their hair was that high and you know, and
they did dress like that.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So it was very natural to me. And I'm still
a fan of the show.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
I still watch Oh yeah. It was one of the
things that was back when I was in high school.
We always used to watch it. Me and my friends
would like call each other and be on the phone
and talk about it.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Pauly D was hilarious.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
And this was also at a time where I know
TNA has kind of gotten back and Impact Wrestling has
gotten back with like a contract with WWE, and now
you're starting to see some crossover there. But this is
when TNA was like a legit competition to WWE and
kind of running with them, and I was always a
big fan of that going forward. So why that stuff
and just having you on the podcast is really really
(07:02):
cool and just understanding the character part of what goes
on and in wrestling itself. I know that there's a
lot of other companies out there that really like the
work rate of it and which we totally understand is
wrestling fans that is you know, such a thing. But
pro wrestling is so character driven and the people that
get it get it. Is that still a thing? And
(07:23):
I know you're working kind of in the backstage and
you're one of the the please excuse me when I
say this, one of the elder wrestlers.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
In the Okay, I like it.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
I'm pretty to just take it as like a compliment. Right,
I'm pretty sure a lot of the younger talents always
trying to ask some of the guys that's been around
a while what they can do to help out. Is
is is having character development and character driven? Is that
still like a main focal thing? At least in the
NXT locker room?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
It is in all of you know, wrestling and all
of sports entertainment. Even if you're not a character, right,
You're still a character. Even if you're just a a
plain vanilla guy. It's like, what's your backstory? Like everyone
has something to them. But the more you could add
to it and the more the people could connect with it, I.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Mean, the more it's gonna get over.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But you know, it's not necessarily like the old days
where you're gonna have, you know, a clown and a
guy with a guitar and a drummer and it be
so kind of like cartoonish.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
You know, times have changed.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Things evolved, but there everyone still has a character. It
just might be more of, you know, a character you
gotta look more into to learn about or watch more
to learn about.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Yeah, you more or less kind of live the life
when you were kind of going through your character change.
So it's probably a little bit easier for you to
dive into. And whether it depends on who it is
either tones it up a bit or just kind of
tones it down for the television. So I just always
thought that that was, you know, a cool thing, and
just hearing about that's really really cool because character you
have to get over.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
You have to make sure people care about you.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
I've always thought I'm not a worker myself, but I've
always thought that some of the work rate can kind
of come a little bit second, and I would be
fine with that because your character has to make me
believe on screen.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Well, that's the thing about wrestling. It's opinionated, right.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Some people like characters more, some people like in ring Moore,
some people you know, everyone likes things and that's.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Why it's so great.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But I've always you know, I'm a big character guy
coming up. You know, when I started, I had so
many different characters that I tried. I was a pop
star and I had set microphone and I sang on
my way to the ring and more polka dots.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Obviously was Jersey Shore.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I was a valedictorian, where I was like a guy
who graduated college but still attended college. I was like
the creepy older guy who still went to college parties
even when I graduated college. Already I was a part
of a thing called the Moxie Family where we were
like Italian guys, almost similar to what Tony D's doing
on nxteen.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I've always played with characters and had fun doing them,
and similar to you, that's kind of what I enjoy.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Yeah, and once again, and I think that that stuff's
really really cool just to come across the screen as
believable and lock me in take my money. So for
doing it and being such a believable character. And even
if you have to done silly stuff in the past,
it's related to a lot of people. And that's the
stuff that kind of gets you.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Noticed.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
We were just talking about NXT and NXT and it's
it's such a huge deal.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
You guys had just made the switch from the USA network.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Now you're on CW and guys have had all these
what's going on We'll get into the most recent episodes,
but what's that switch to the network ced W? What's
that been like for both you and all the other
superstars in the company.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
What's the mindset going on in XT right now?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
You know, you always get that little boost of energy
with a switch because you feel like, you know, maybe
some more eyes or some new eyes will be on
the product.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
So even though you always work.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Your hardest, maybe it pushes you to work a little harder.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
To create some more excitement, which it has.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
And I mean the thing about NXT and it's for
our SmackDown also, it's everything going on. But NXT, I
think everyone now knows when you turn it on every
week to expect the unexpected. You don't know who's going
to show up, You don't know what's going to happen,
You don't know what wild thing is going to happen.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I think by the end of every episode, people are
saying actually excited to tune in the following week to
see storylines continue, to see the matches that are being made.
So it's just an exciting time for like all of
all of the ww.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
You know, yeah, absolutely, And you just mentioned it right there,
mister sone expect the unexpected.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
That's it's always been.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Wrestling just such a hot thing because it makes you
want to turn the channel right, it makes you want
to this makes you want to see what happens next.
And here in NXT it's been so hot recently. You've
had the last couple episodes that's made people like, wow,
I wasn't expecting that to happen. I want to go
back just a couple of weeks ago NXT twenty three hundred.
It was at the famous Philly building where ECW started.
(11:54):
You're a Northeasterner yourself. What was that like being in
that building having a a WWE NXT tape show there?
Speaker 4 (12:01):
And of course you've got to have all come back.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
I mean, you saw Don Marine, saw RVD, the Dudley Boys,
you yourself had a run in with Rhino, So what
was that like?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
It was so cool?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I mean, so I performed in the twenty three hundred
arena before it was the twenty three hundred, and when
I guess, I guess it was still called the ECW
Arena only or even had a name in probably two
thousand and two. So like twenty two years ago when
it was still full on, it looked a lot different
than it does now. Yeah, it looked a lot different
(12:34):
than it does now. So throughout the years, I have
been back to it, you know, for different shows. Actually
my first ever when I was a part of TNA,
my first ever live event for TNA was in twenty
ten and it was against Rhido to go figure. Fourteen
years later, he's still agoring me in the same building.
But it was cool to see a lot of old friends, like,
(12:54):
you know, Don Marie from my town. I'm friends with
Francine Nunzio, you know, Dudley's just guys that I've worked with,
Guys that I've traveled with.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
To see them again, to see them also kind of.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Get their flowers, returning to the building and getting some exposure.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
It was just it was just a really cool night.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
And I hope, I hope it's something that kind of
maybe happens yearly or something.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It's just such a successful show and it created so
much excitement and I think the fans were pleased it
wasn't a letdown. You know, you get built up for things.
Sometimes you watch and you kind of go, oh, that
wasn't that good. I mean, it was phenomenal. It was
a great episode. The crowd was hot all night, The
people got their money's worth and it was It left
me wanting more and I think everybody else too.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
I guess kind of talking about that, you know, the
the NXT show was so unique, and so is the
set up. You had the nxta arena down there in Orlando,
and you've been you've been on the main roster, You've
been around everywhere. What makes it more unique to perform
in front of that NXT crowd and especially at a
place like that. What what how does NXT stand out
(13:57):
and performing in that arena than anywhere that you person
ever performed.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Well, the thing is when you when you're in the
same location for most of the time, you get a
lot of the.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Same hardcore fans every week.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
So it's similar to the cult following almost that ECW
how when it started when it was only a DCW
arena and they built these crazy fans who were so
invested in everything that was going on.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
That's kind of what happens at NXT.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
You know, we have these same die hard, hardcore NXT
fans that come every week that are so invested and
know the characters. They see us arrive at the building
and leave the building, and whether they hate us or
love us, they're just they put everything into it, almost
like they're a part of the show.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
So that just you know, makes it takes it to
a whole other level.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
There's no fans in the audience who you know, don't
know what's going on, or it's their first time at
a show. They are there and they are they are involved.
You know, it's like one big family.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
And that's what I figured because you can honestly feel
it on the screen too, and and honest almost reminds
me of how they do things here in Louisville. Of course,
we're home of Ohio Valley Wrestling that used to be
the home of the developmental program before NXT was a thing,
and it's just such a small compact but into an
arena where you kind of get to learn and cut
your teeth in the business. I see a lot of
(15:13):
that reflection on the NXT set to wrestled here in Louisville.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I have I have one time I wrestled for OVW Man.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I wish I could remember whoever one time one time
I did Yes, yeah, yeah, same cool atmosphere.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I remember the building and.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Uh yeah, areena a bit about performing in like those
small It's almost like you get more nervous and it's
more nerve wracking when you're in that small setting and
it's tight and the fans are packed in and you
see that red light on.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
There's something about.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Small buildings that just it brings like an extra energy
to the situation.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
And it's it's the same thing as a fan.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Dude, when you're sitting there watching it, you feel like
you can connect to the wrestlers a little bit more.
Your chance actually, ards, I got to watch your mouth
when you're trying to talk some issues. It's a little
bit more experience. I was talking to you off air
and I said that we gotcha podcast. I lied to
you because I have to ask. You've been in the
ring toe to toe with now Rhino and now you've
(16:15):
been in the ring toe to toe with bron Breaker.
If you're got you got the option, who are you
not taking this far from more?
Speaker 4 (16:23):
I got we gotta know for the fans.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I think, uh, I think I think I might have
been a little more laid out from Bronze.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I think I'm a little more laid out from bron Breakers.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Yeah, I mean, he's doing big things on the WWE roster.
You got to work with him and kind of like
as he's developing, and I all spears are created equally,
but when you have a freak athlete like that that
can like hit the ropes at like something like twenty
miles an hour or something that he does, it's probably
does not feel really good.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, my rib definitely still from a year ago when
I felt it Halloween, have a glad year.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I think it's still a little something something on it.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Hey, I don't I don't blame you. That's why I'm
a podcaster. I'm on this end of it.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
You know.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
I've always always been kind of a whist when it
came to that stuff. I secretly want to take a bump,
but at the same time, I don't want to feel
I'm in my thirties now, so I don't want to
feel it for like another three weeks here. Of course,
in more shape than me, you've done it for a while,
so it's surprised that that even you're still feeling the effect.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah, well, hey, you're in your thirties, that's a good
place to be. I'm in my forties. So even believe me,
I don't want to. I'm not toning down the gore
from Rhino because that did not feel good. Also, but
if I had to pick one, I guess from.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
But I got it, and let's talk about like I said, well,
we'll kind of continue on a couple more questions from NXC.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
We'll go ahead and get you out of here, complete
on with your day. It was such a.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Huge uh, just a couple of days ago, uh, with
your recorded show, and the biggest talking points coming out
of that, of course was chase you they're they're they're
no longer a thing man, So what do you think
that's gonna be like going forward? Now you have ridg
Holland kind of on top of the world, ready to
challenge Williams and for next semester.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Well, I'll tell you this. The next day, I went
to the gym. There's a true story. I went to
the gym. I was working out and someone's talking to me.
I take my headphones out. It's an older guy and
he said, it looked right at me, and you know,
I'm wondering what he's going to ask, and I.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Have to talked to the guy before. But he goes,
is Chase You really done? Can you not?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
This is an old man at the Jim said this
to me. So that's how everyone feels about it. That's
how sad everyone is about the Chase You situation. Everybody
loves Chase You. If you're a bad guy, if you're
a good guy, if you're a what I like. If
you don't like Chase You, there's got to be something.
I think Rich Holland is the only person who probably
doesn't like Chase You because they're fun to watch, they're
(18:50):
great in the ring, they're good people.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
But yeah, it's kind of sad.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I mean, it's gonna be different when you don't look
at the audience and see all the Chase.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
You shirts, right, Yeah, yeah, I mean props to Rich Holland.
He's going to Deadline right now to go one on
one with Trick Williams for the NXT Championship. So he
got what he wanted. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I guess next Tuesday, we'll see what that first week
is like. When when they're not a part of it.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Yeah, I guess school is not in anymore.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Out school's out for the summer the time being a
winter or whatever it is. But that's all I wanted
to talk about was Deadline coming up. It's going to
be a Minnesota at the Harmory Arena. You as a
GM of NXT, what are you looking forward to the most?
And for people that's going to be tuning into NXC,
maybe watching it for the first time they have in
a while, what do you think fans can expect from
(19:37):
that show?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
We have your your Iron Survivor matches, which are always
super exciting to watch. But I mean we just talked
about it, NXT Championship. You know, it doesn't get bigger.
Trick Williams Ridge, Holland Ridge.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Is on such a a war.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Path right now. I don't know, if you know, I
don't know if is Trick ready. I mean, Trick is
always ready, but is he?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
So we're going to see.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
So it's going to be a great main event. Bringing
NXT to Minnesota is gonna be great. It's been a while, so, uh,
you know, as always, NXT's going to deliver on the
biggest platform on this huge p l E.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And I just get to sit back and enjoy it, you.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Know, absolutely, hope take any spears or I'm gonna be
hiding I think any super kicks from anybody. Well, of course,
once again we are speaking with NXT g M. We
are speaking with mister Stone once again. Assistant GM.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, we don't want to get ave upset.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Assistant no, no, no, I listen. I don't want to mess
with that family at all. They are going through a
lot right now.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
So once again, I want to thank you for coming
on the show, and we're gonna have a Thanksgiving. Holidays
start next week. I know that you're a family man.
You have any traditions for Thanksgiving coming up? You guys
split going you and your wife split? Going to different
uh in law's house or how's that done?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
So we uh her family's outside of Philly, mine's in Jersey.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
So we are going to Philly and we'll be with
her family for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
But then the next follow the following days we'll see
my family.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Yeah, awesome, that should be a good time.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
You have any you have any overrated like Thanksgiving foods?
I always try to ask that to people. It's like
you always fun to connect with food. I'll just go
ahead and start out first. I do not like stuffing
as much as everybody else does. Makes it a huge thing,
and we can't eat until there's stuffing's done.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
To hell with that. I could care less about stuffing.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, no, I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
And you know, I don't want to sound like a
big party pooper here when I say this, because I
love Thanksgiving. I love the idea of it, the comfort
that Christmas is close, all that stuff, but the actual meal.
I mean, if you get a really good turkey, it's great,
like a lean, juicy turkey, love it.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
But everything else it's just kind of there. I don't know.
There's not many other things.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
That like, when you really think about it, is it
that great?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
No, I can't see terrible.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
No, it all depends. And I know some people like
do it a little bit different now. I know people
that like, what do you call it, like smoke? They
just do it a little bit more than your traditional
leave it in the oven all day and the whole
house smells like it.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
But it's really at the end of the day.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
For me, as I get into my thirties, it's more
or less about the football and just being with family.
I mean like it's fun too as a blood kid
get to eat at your mom and dad's house for free.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Well, dude, once again, I want to thank you for
joining the show. We are here with assistant NXTGM mister Stone,
Mister Stone, now that you have this life changing platform

tomorrow superstars are today. You're gonna end up seeing some
of these people on the main roster and it will
be such a cool thing to say, Hey, I remember
watching them when they were feuding with this guy months
(23:50):

promote anything, if they just ever want to talk and

want to talk sports or just kind of talk about
what's going on in life. We're the kind of guys
to talk to. So just let anybody know it's an
open invitation. You're more than welcome back for any time.
