Babyaby, what's going on y'all? You hear that intro? It
means it's time to lock in. It's the Babyfaces Podcast
(00:43):

INA's number one four country ninety seven to five w
A m Z. I am your host Austin Montgomery, flanked
alongside the original og Babyface. You just had a baby Billy.
He's back and we are all so joined by another
special superstar. He is a newly crowned Inner Continental Champion.
(01:05):
The greatest living Mysterio is that correct? Dominic Mysterio? Welcome
to the show Man.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Correct, Thank you guys for having me again.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yes, yeah, last time we talked to you, it was
getting ready for the Royal Rumble up in Indianapolis, not
too far away from a Louisville, and we got you
to talk about what it would be like if Dominsterio
actually won the Royal Rumble and to compete for the
ww Championship of WrestleMania. Unfortunately that part didn't work out
for you, but that didn't stop you from having your
own WrestleMania moment. You got to capture one of the
(01:36):
most illustrious titles in pro wrestling history, the inter Continental Championship.
How does that feel?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Man?
Speaker 4 (01:42):
How's that been for your legacy? And what's it like
carrying around that singles gold around your race?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I mean, I've been answering it in I have a
couple different answers for it. But the answer that's my
favorite that I've been saying is it just feels right.
You know, it feels right to finally have some singles
gold that's not involving, you know, any of the losers
(02:09):
that we dropped beforehand, you know, And it's it's nice
having no involvement with any other mysterial, but the greatest
mysterial of all time, which is myself. You are the
fact that I can go out and do that, And
like you know, everyone was saying, you'll never be able
to fill raise shoes.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
You'll never be. But like less than five years later,
I'm already.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
You know, people forget about which mysteriy they're talking about,
because usually they're talking about this one.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
So like it's been great.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And it looks you look the part man that gold
looks looks perfect around around your waist, and I know
you've proclaimed yourself not only is the greatest mysterio of
all time, but also already the greatest intercontinental champion of
all time. So dominic mysterio is number one on the list.
But who would you fill out? Maybe that the rest
of that top three, top five as far as intercom
no champions might be in there somewhere right.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, you know, like there's there's a bunch of guys
that I'm better than have had this title. You know,
you got the Honky Tonk Man, you got Brett Hart,
you got Stone Cold, you got Sean Michaels. Uh, you
got Pat Patterson. Uh, Like I just I'm better than
all of these guys. You know, I don't know how
old they were when they won it. They're all fossils
(03:23):
at this point. But like for me, I think that
I'm only gonna give you three because I feel like
five is a you're like fishing for something there.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
I don't know if I like it.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
So I'm gonna go with me at number one, Eddie
at number two, and then number three, I'm gonna go JBL.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
I'm gonna give JBL.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
His fine right interesting, I would probably have Rick Rud
maybe somewhere in there, but better than Rick rudy number one.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
My mustache is better than Rick Rud's too.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
That a great mustache.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
And if he and if he had, if he had
long long hair and not you know, curly looking like
a like Curly from from the Three Stooges.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
I'm sure. I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I start like I could cool my hair, and I
could give myself a perm and look exactly like Rick
Rude and be already better than Rick Rude.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
I won't be as jack as Rick Rude, but I'll
be better than Rick Rude.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Uh I, I absolutely love it because I completely forgot
about Rick Rud's mustache and then comparing that to your
mustache now it's it's it's a good looking one. I
can never pull off a mustache, so I just went
with the beard. Billy's a total baby face. Well, actually, Bill,
it looks like he's grown to a little go tea?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Is that? Is that the bad go tea going in?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah, become a dad. Your hair follicles open up a
little bit. You know, stuff starts growing, so we'll.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
See you grow. You grow it here and you start
losing it up.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Here, hopefully not. I got some nice, nice thick hair
coming in, So that's awesome. Awstin, take your head off
show some ball.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Look at that a little old man.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Look at us, Dom. It's not looking too well.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Man, put that hat back on.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
It's not looking to thank you. Oh my gosh, Oh.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
My gosh, it's maybe maybe we need to put a
mask on you. Dude.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
You can get if you can get me one. I'm
all about it. Everyone. Everyone's always told me how to
face for Radio Dom. I don't know if that's a
good or bad thing.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
I think I think it means because you can't see.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
It, that's true.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
You know that's true.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
But if you if you add me to the show,
you know you can have like you can have the
camera on me at all times and just be like,
oh it's good looking, dirty dumb Never take the camera
offs this guy.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
So like what hey, you you got it? Absolutely right.
Cameras always on. Your camera shines bright on Monday Night
Raw on Netflix. Speaking of Monday Night Raw, you guys
are coming back to the Young Center. You're in Louisville
this Monday, and of course everybody, it's me and Billy
have always been fans. There seems to be a lot
of the internet, dirt sheets and some of the muck
that goes on there that still doesn't take you seriously.
(06:02):
I mean, you are facing off this Saturday at Judge,
this Saturday at Backlash against Pensa, another glorified lucid Or.
I know you've had your problems with him in the past.
You think Pensa may be overlooking you. What's something that
Dominic Mysterio can't wait to show about Pensa and the
rest of the world that they may be underestimating when
you head into the pl this weekend.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Honestly, I think everyone underestimates me. I think everyone overlooks me.
That's why I walked out as the Intercontinental Champion at
WrestleMania forty one, you know, because people don't People don't
take me seriously. People don't think I can do it,
people don't think I have what it takes, but at
the end of the day, it's just they're just wrong,
(06:43):
clearly right. Like, like I've said this before, it only
took me less than five years to become better than
my dad ever was right, and that dude's been doing
it for thirty plus years. I'm still a young buck
in this business. I've already beat Penta. I beat Penta
at WrestleMania. I beat Penta the night after Mania. To
retain like I'm I'm what one for one on this
(07:05):
title defense is now, I'm gonna I'm gonna reub it
in everyone's face how many times I defend this title.
I am one for one, I am two and O.
Basically when it comes to my record is clean. After WrestleMania,
I am two and oh. So after this I plan
on being three and oh I already beat I already
beat this old bastard twice, like like I don't know what,
(07:25):
I don't know what I need to keep doing here.
I mean, I'm obviously gonna go out there and do
my job and beat him for a third time, because
that's that's what I'm gonna do and solidify myself, continue
to solidify myself as the greatest mystery of all time.
But honestly, it's just another day for me. It's just
this is another day for Dirty Dom. Go out, do
what I gotta do, come back, take care of the
Witita well Dom.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Like, like Austin said, you're gonna be at the Young
Center this Monday, and I know you're a huge chicken
tender guy. That's that's been a big thing about you.
You're gonna be in the House of Kentucky Fried Chicken
on Monday, so you might have to sneak up to
like to the concessions, grab you a little food.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Uh, here's my thing.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I've always had an issue with the Young Center, especially
out in Uh. Yeah, I don't know why you guys
sound so surprised, both of YEA. Yeah, Kentucky guys, come on,
I get it, it's your hometown, but we like, here's here.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you where my
issue is.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Right. It's it's called the KFCYM Center, right, and you
Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
We're in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I have never in my life been offered fried chicken
when I'm in Kentucky. I've never been offered chicken tenders.
Never been offered fried chicken when I show up to
the Yum Center, they should have it like ready for me,
you know, but that has never happened.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
I've never gotten.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Offered any sort of decent fried chicken or chicken tenders
when I've been to Kentucky. So that's why, that's why
I hate it, and I hate the Yum Center because
the Young Center is known as the House of Kentucky
fried chicken, but here I am with zero fried chicken.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, so there's a lot of fried chicken and Ontown woival,
so maybe hit up. Well, we think Austin Some Kings
is pretty good, right.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I mean, yes, Joella's is pretty good. Right across the street,
Merle's Whiskey Kitchen is pretty good.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Okay, this is all good for for chicken tenders and
fried chicken.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Absolutely absolutely. Joel is one of my favorites actions.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Joel Joela is easily top three fried chicken iPad. And
it's like that I don't know if you like a
little you know, a little spice to it, but it's
like that Mexicano flavor. Yeah, yeah, So Nashville hot chicken
from there, you'll see.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
All right, Joel's Yeah, Joel's Yeah, Joe Joel is Joela
is Joe Joel Yes, yes, and speaking well, we'll keep
on the subject of Monday at all returns of the
KFC Young Center.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Louis was such a huge market for professional wrestling, of
course everything that's come here, So we're looking forward to
a good show. You can buy your tickets right now
ticketmaster dot com.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Dom.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I kind of want to switch over to the Judgment
Day and so some weird stuff that's been going on
with Finn Balor. I know he's been kind of acting weird,
maybe distant at times, and I guess for all other
fans out there and people that's watched a product, they
can tell that there's something odd going on with the
Judgment Day. But ever since JD McDonough returned, it seems
like the feeling has kind of been restored. Everybody's kind
(10:17):
of getting on the same page. What do you think
of the camaraderie right now of your group the Judgment Day.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Man, Fin, I don't want to say he's been acting
a little bit funny. I just think he has been
in his feelings, you know, when it comes to like
we were both on a big losing streak right. We
had a little incident at WrestleMania where I might have
(10:46):
pinned him.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
I don't really remember.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It was it was like a whole like I had
just gotten Mexican destroyered, so my head was a little
bit foggy. I just saw a body down there, so
when I jumped in front, I thought it was bron Breaker.
I had no idea it was Finn. So he might
have been a little upset about that, but I think
he got over it once he realized that, like you know,
(11:11):
Golden the Judgment day is good for all. But you know,
Finn's always been there for me. I've always said he's
been the dad that stepped up. Before I even turned
on my on my deadbeat dad, I was tagging with
Finn Balor overseas, you know, being a being big baby faces.
I have pictures of me in a bright red and
(11:32):
green outfit and Finn in his trunk still like we're
doing his whole, you know, Like Finn's been there for
me the whole time, so like he's my dude, and
I don't I don't know, uh, I don't know where
his head's at. I just know that he's uh, he's
definitely always game for whatever the judgment day is, for
whatever is best for the judgment day. And as far
(11:54):
as JD goes, it is so good to have him back.
You know, we had been struggling far as like with
muscle and numbers, just because you know, there's only so
much that Livin Raquel could do, and god, everyone knows
there's only so much Carly can do. But like, and
I say that with love, because you know, Carl's also
(12:14):
one of those guys that keeps a judgment day solid
and keeps us He's like the secret glue that keeps
us all.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Together, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
But JD definitely just it was nice to finally have
everyone home. You know, it's like everyone who's been gone
and doing their own thing, but like it was nice
to finally have everyone back home in the clubhouse like
all together. So that was really nice.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Well, Dom, we already know that come this week in
a backlash, you're going to retain that intercount Iill Championship.
The next big event that we're looking at after that
would be money in the Bank, which is one of
the more exciting events of the year. Could we possibly
be looking at maybe a dirty Dom mister money in
the bank in.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Dude, as long as I'm not hanging from anything, you know,
I'm down. I'm super down.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Like I like this felt this title is Intercontinental Championship
is actually it's actually super heavy.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
So it would be nice to have a little briefcase
to put it inside, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
To like hold it.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Yeah, I think that's a great idea. Yeah, I now
that I'm now that I'm thinking about it, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Let's just let's make it happen.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Let's just make it happen.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Let's do it right, and like, yeah, who knows, And
like I feel like it'd be I'd be very different
with the with the money in the bank briefcase, you know,
because everyone's thinking world title, world title. But it's like
I know I'm gonna get there. I know that's gonna
be mine one day, right, So like I'm in no hurry,
I'm thinking long term, right, money in the bank.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
I'm thinking.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I'm thinking me and JD go over to like SmackDown
and take the titles from the profits, you know, and
then like maybe come back to Raw and then cash
in the money in the bank on some tag titles
me and Jay. That's never been done before. Dude, I'd
love to cash in my money in the bank briefcase
on some tag titles like that'd be dope, never been done.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Everyone's selfish and it's they want to go for a
single title.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Nah, I do want to bring my boys with me,
So like, whether it's Finn JD Carly where hell even
if it's if it's one of them, all passion the
briefcase and be like it's not for me, it's for them,
and give them some gold.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
So like, I'm just here to change and make history
for the Judgment Day.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Well, that's right. When you have fun, the squad has fun,
and there's nothing better than seeing Judgment Day on top.
It's awesome seeing your development. I know we only got
you for a couple more seconds here. But of course
WW Monday Night Raw returns of the KFC Young Centers.
It's about to be Dom's favorite place once I get
them some chicken tenders up in there. We need to
make that happen. You could go buy your tickets now
and you're listening right now. Weekly American Vodka, the official
(14:49):
vodka of WWE, is going to be out at the
Eastgates shopping Center Kroger. Dom's gonna be there. Taking pictures,

I won't be as jack as Rick Rude, but I'll
be better than Rick Rude.
Speaker 4 (04:22):

people don't think I have what it takes, but at
the end of the day, it's just they're just wrong,
(06:43):
clearly right. Like, like I've said this before, it only
took me less than five years to become better than
my dad ever was right, and that dude's been doing
it for thirty plus years. I'm still a young buck
in this business. I've already beat Penta. I beat Penta
at WrestleMania. I beat Penta the night after Mania. To
retain like I'm I'm what one for one on this
(07:05):
title defense is now, I'm gonna I'm gonna reub it
in everyone's face how many times I defend this title.
I am one for one, I am two and O.
Basically when it comes to my record is clean. After WrestleMania,
I am two and oh. So after this I plan
on being three and oh I already beat I already
beat this old bastard twice, like like I don't know what,
(07:25):
I don't know what I need to keep doing here.
I mean, I'm obviously gonna go out there and do
my job and beat him for a third time, because
that's that's what I'm gonna do and solidify myself, continue
to solidify myself as the greatest mystery of all time.
But honestly, it's just another day for me. It's just
this is another day for Dirty Dom. Go out, do
what I gotta do, come back, take care of the
Witita well Dom.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Like, like Austin said, you're gonna be at the Young
Center this Monday, and I know you're a huge chicken
tender guy. That's that's been a big thing about you.
You're gonna be in the House of Kentucky Fried Chicken
on Monday, so you might have to sneak up to
like to the concessions, grab you a little food.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Uh, here's my thing.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I've always had an issue with the Young Center, especially
out in Uh. Yeah, I don't know why you guys
sound so surprised, both of YEA. Yeah, Kentucky guys, come on,
I get it, it's your hometown, but we like, here's here.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you where my
issue is.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Right. It's it's called the KFCYM Center, right, and you
Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
We're in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I have never in my life been offered fried chicken
when I'm in Kentucky. I've never been offered chicken tenders.
Never been offered fried chicken when I show up to
the Yum Center, they should have it like ready for me,
you know, but that has never happened.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
I've never gotten.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Offered any sort of decent fried chicken or chicken tenders
when I've been to Kentucky. So that's why, that's why
I hate it, and I hate the Yum Center because
the Young Center is known as the House of Kentucky
fried chicken, but here I am with zero fried chicken.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, so there's a lot of fried chicken and Ontown woival,
so maybe hit up. Well, we think Austin Some Kings
is pretty good, right.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I mean, yes, Joella's is pretty good. Right across the street,
Merle's Whiskey Kitchen is pretty good.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Okay, this is all good for for chicken tenders and
fried chicken.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Absolutely absolutely. Joel is one of my favorites actions.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Joel Joela is easily top three fried chicken iPad. And
it's like that I don't know if you like a
little you know, a little spice to it, but it's
like that Mexicano flavor. Yeah, yeah, So Nashville hot chicken
from there, you'll see.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
All right, Joel's Yeah, Joel's Yeah, Joe Joel is Joela
is Joe Joel Yes, yes, and speaking well, we'll keep
on the subject of Monday at all returns of the
KFC Young Center.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Louis was such a huge market for professional wrestling, of
course everything that's come here, So we're looking forward to
a good show. You can buy your tickets right now
ticketmaster dot com.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Dom.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I kind of want to switch over to the Judgment
Day and so some weird stuff that's been going on
with Finn Balor. I know he's been kind of acting weird,
maybe distant at times, and I guess for all other
fans out there and people that's watched a product, they
can tell that there's something odd going on with the
Judgment Day. But ever since JD McDonough returned, it seems
like the feeling has kind of been restored. Everybody's kind
(10:17):
of getting on the same page. What do you think
of the camaraderie right now of your group the Judgment Day.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Man, Fin, I don't want to say he's been acting
a little bit funny. I just think he has been
in his feelings, you know, when it comes to like
we were both on a big losing streak right. We
had a little incident at WrestleMania where I might have
(10:46):
pinned him.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
I don't really remember.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It was it was like a whole like I had
just gotten Mexican destroyered, so my head was a little
bit foggy. I just saw a body down there, so
when I jumped in front, I thought it was bron Breaker.
I had no idea it was Finn. So he might
have been a little upset about that, but I think
he got over it once he realized that, like you know,
(11:11):
Golden the Judgment day is good for all. But you know,
Finn's always been there for me. I've always said he's
been the dad that stepped up. Before I even turned
on my on my deadbeat dad, I was tagging with
Finn Balor overseas, you know, being a being big baby faces.
I have pictures of me in a bright red and
(11:32):
green outfit and Finn in his trunk still like we're
doing his whole, you know, Like Finn's been there for
me the whole time, so like he's my dude, and
I don't I don't know, uh, I don't know where
his head's at. I just know that he's uh, he's
definitely always game for whatever the judgment day is, for
whatever is best for the judgment day. And as far
(11:54):
as JD goes, it is so good to have him back.
You know, we had been struggling far as like with
muscle and numbers, just because you know, there's only so
much that Livin Raquel could do, and god, everyone knows
there's only so much Carly can do. But like, and
I say that with love, because you know, Carl's also
(12:14):
one of those guys that keeps a judgment day solid
and keeps us He's like the secret glue that keeps
us all.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Together, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
But JD definitely just it was nice to finally have
everyone home. You know, it's like everyone who's been gone
and doing their own thing, but like it was nice
to finally have everyone back home in the clubhouse like
all together. So that was really nice.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Well, Dom, we already know that come this week in
a backlash, you're going to retain that intercount Iill Championship.
The next big event that we're looking at after that
would be money in the Bank, which is one of
the more exciting events of the year. Could we possibly
be looking at maybe a dirty Dom mister money in
the bank in.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Dude, as long as I'm not hanging from anything, you know,
I'm down. I'm super down.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Like I like this felt this title is Intercontinental Championship
is actually it's actually super heavy.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
So it would be nice to have a little briefcase
to put it inside, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
To like hold it.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Yeah, I think that's a great idea. Yeah, I now
that I'm now that I'm thinking about it, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Let's just let's make it happen.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Let's just make it happen.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Let's do it right, and like, yeah, who knows, And
like I feel like it'd be I'd be very different
with the with the money in the bank briefcase, you know,
because everyone's thinking world title, world title. But it's like
I know I'm gonna get there. I know that's gonna
be mine one day, right, So like I'm in no hurry,
I'm thinking long term, right, money in the bank.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
I'm thinking.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I'm thinking me and JD go over to like SmackDown
and take the titles from the profits, you know, and
then like maybe come back to Raw and then cash
in the money in the bank on some tag titles
me and Jay. That's never been done before. Dude, I'd
love to cash in my money in the bank briefcase
on some tag titles like that'd be dope, never been done.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Everyone's selfish and it's they want to go for a
single title.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Nah, I do want to bring my boys with me,
So like, whether it's Finn JD Carly where hell even
if it's if it's one of them, all passion the
briefcase and be like it's not for me, it's for them,
and give them some gold.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
So like, I'm just here to change and make history
for the Judgment Day.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Well, that's right. When you have fun, the squad has fun,
and there's nothing better than seeing Judgment Day on top.
It's awesome seeing your development. I know we only got
you for a couple more seconds here. But of course
WW Monday Night Raw returns of the KFC Young Centers.
It's about to be Dom's favorite place once I get
them some chicken tenders up in there. We need to
make that happen. You could go buy your tickets now
