So just doing a little something to see where we 41 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.280 can we can help out with some of the hardships they've had down in Clarksville 42 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:12.840 as of late. Absolutely, that's awesome. Again, ticketmaster dot com, 43 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:16.120 w W dot com, grab those tickets today. Yeah. So, you 44 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:20.159 know, one of the big matches where everyone's kind of excited for is the 45 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.919 finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, you know, kind of the 46 00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:30.919 you may call it unorthodox team of bron Breaker and Baron Corbin. A lot 47 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:32.560 of people are buzzing about them. You know, some people are comparing them 48 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:37.159 to the inaugural winners of the Classic Simo Jo and Finn Balor. What do 49 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.599 you see in this team and what has this pairing meant for both of these 50 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:44.479 superstars? Look, I think, first to get I think it's been a 51 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.599 lot to both of them. I don't think anybody you know, it's one 52 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.479 of those times where I don't know, you mix oil and water and I 53 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.599 don't know, we didn't know. I don't think anybody knew that it was 54 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.520 going to be as good. And I think there, I say, as 55 00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.400 entertaining as it was going to be. And look, it's they are two 56 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.479 very opposites, I guess on one hand, but they do have some commonality 57 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:11.520 there. So I think they're aside from being incredibly impressive, you know, 58 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.439 I mean, I mean and just you know, I'm very talented, I 59 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:19.639 think everybody is kind of blown away by the dynamic of their personalities with one 60 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.480 another and the way they work off of each other. I think there's a 61 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.120 I don't know, it's one of those things every now and then when you 62 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.920 run across people that you just have a natural chemistry with and and you don't 63 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:31.759 know. That's something that Hunter and I had a long time ago. Yeah, 64 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:35.120 we knew it from day one, and I think for Baron, Corbin 65 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:40.879 and Braun Breaker again, I think it was something that amazed them, especially 66 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.800 you know, you got Baron, who's obviously a veteran, been around a 67 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.639 long time, coming back into NXT with a bunch of people that this is 68 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:56.639 not my generation, but they thicker that is, I don't know, kind 69 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:01.759 of buses humping away, that's kind of amusing and challenges Zim and so again, 70 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:06.879 I think it's been very enjoyable, amusing and entertaining for a lot of 71 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:13.439 us, as well as obviously being an incredibly talented and tremendous team. Yeah, 72 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.600 absolutely for sure. And of course you're gonna be able to see that 73 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:21.720 match and many more matches this Sunday Vengeance Day in clarksvill ticketmaster dot com. 74 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:26.120 Grab those tickets starting at twenty bucks. And you know, you look at 75 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:30.000 this card for Vengeance Day and it's it's stacked from top to bottom. And 76 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.720 another match that a lot of people are excited to see is the NXT Women's 77 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.720 Championship, which former champ Roxane Perez, who's a friend of the show, 78 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:43.639 is challenging the current champion, Lyra Valkyrie. What are some of like the 79 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:48.199 key factories for Valkyrie to retain her title and one of the most important factors 80 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:53.160 for Roxanne to dethrone the champ and become one of only two other women to 81 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:57.079 be a two time NXT Women's Champion. Yeah, well so look, I 82 00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.399 think Larra Valkyria. I think she's I think she's been an impressive champion. 83 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.920 I think it's somebody who I think came in from the u K. Sort 84 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:09.959 of it's sort of like a slow burned with with with Lyra, I think, 85 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:14.759 and over time people began to really appreciate her ability, her skill, 86 00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:18.680 and I think obviously her running across Uh. You know, Becky Lynch was 87 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:24.240 hues for her and her career. And I can say, look someone that 88 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.879 when you come in and you uh, you know, you have a time 89 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.959 where you're trying to come into your own, but you're also sort of dealing 90 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.160 with people that you looked up to. It's a it's a it's a different 91 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:39.879 dynamic than what you what you're used to. You have a you have a 92 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.879 respect and you also you get whether it be fan boy or fan girling, 93 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.040 you know, you know, you have this admiration that you had when you 94 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.399 were younger for these people, but now you believe it's your time. And 95 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:55.920 I think it's been a great growth, uh, you know process to watch 96 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:59.680 and Lyra as she's gone through that with Becky and now coming into Rome as 97 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.680 a chanceaion. And on the other side you've got Roxanne Perez, someone who 98 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:10.000 again two very young women who are very talented and have had great success at 99 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.279 a very young age. And how do you deal with that? And and 100 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:18.439 also Roxanne having to deal with so many ups and downs in a young career. 101 00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.519 I think that's what I think, when everything is said and done. 102 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.920 One of the things that I really enjoyed fascinates me about NXTS. You're talking 103 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:31.600 about incredibly young people, I mean maybe an average age of twenty four years 104 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:38.160 old sometimes and again so many the ups and downs that the winds and the 105 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:43.519 losses, you know, the heartbreaks and the victories that they have to deal 106 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.480 with, the longiness and I'll manage that on a national level, at a 107 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.800 global level, very early on in their careers. It's a great deal of 108 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.720 pressure, uh, you know, to be under as you're as you're going 109 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.439 out there, and that's something that Roxanne has faced a great deal of here 110 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.120 in the last year. You can see it coming out every Tuesday night on 111 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.680 the USA Network on our show you Know Rock Sanne. She's starting to show 112 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:11.040 a different side of herself aside, is getting a little less patient, not 113 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.120 so much the girl the sweet girl next door. So again, for me, 114 00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.240 that's what I'm excited about Sunday at Vengeance Day to watch these two. 115 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.879 One. Yeah, she's a champion, but she really feels like she's got 116 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:28.639 something to prove and somebody else very young but never lost her championship. She's 117 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.799 been a champion here at NXT at twenty years old, she's never lost it, 118 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.240 and now she's got a chance to regain it. So this is one 119 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:39.240 that I think is going to boil up and be a you know, be 120 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.480 something to make sure you keep an eye on, because I think it's gonna 121 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.720 be something big come Sunday. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, And it's 122 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.600 kind of it's kind of strange to think about how young some of these superstars 123 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.080 are, you know what I mean, Like Roxanne winning the title twenty you're 124 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.320 like what and obviously living up to the name of the Prodigy. So that 125 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.559 kind of jumps into the next question. So another match a lot of people 126 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.519 are looking forward to is the rematch for the NXT North American Championship Dragon ly 127 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.720 or versus. I guess we could call him a phenom Oba pheme, you 128 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.080 knowemy appears to have all the tools it takes to have a long career as 129 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.080 a w W studter star. Kind of piggyback off where you were just discussing 130 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:22.159 what are the challenges of guiding the career of someone who's so young and has 131 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.080 so much natural power and abilities in the machine known as the WWE. Sure, 132 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.919 well, look, I'll tell you one of the things that I think 133 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.879 that people can see now that has been a proven success as the NIL program 134 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.080 and obviously, you know, reaching out to these young men and women on 135 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.720 a college level. And Oba is a guy that has, you know, 136 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.200 one not just his background, but he's had a great deal of success in 137 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.200 his youth and in his college jets, which strangely enough has kind of prepared 138 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:56.039 him for this. It's amazing, incredibly well spoken and well mannered and just 139 00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:00.840 I don't know, he's so much more experienced than his age. Uh you 140 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:05.519 would think lends itself to but he's a very I don't know, as we 141 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.639 all say, he's a very complete young man, and I think everybody sees 142 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.720 the promise in him as not just an NXC superstar, but a future ww 143 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.799 superstar. You can just see it by the way he carries himself. And 144 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.000 I have to again, you know, he would obviously know better than me, 145 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.399 but I have to attribute that a lot of times to again, some 146 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.039 of the success that they had in college and at the collegiate level that has 147 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.360 kind of prepared them. And look, a lot of these you know, 148 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:37.279 young men and women, they have been you know, successes at a very 149 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:41.559 young age, and people have been sort of courting them and coming after them 150 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:45.159 since they were young, you know, and so in high school, and 151 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.840 so I think that better prepares them for a world uh you know, get 152 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.320 like NXC and the WWE. But I think the future is incredibly bright for 153 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.559 him. But obviously, you know, he's got the you know, the 154 00:10:54.600 --> 00:11:00.720 former North American Champion Dragon Lee from Smack SmackDown wanting his title back. So 155 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.080 I think that'll be something again that'll be very exciting to watch this Sunday Vengeance 156 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:11.559 State. But I will say I can't lie when I say that I get 157 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:16.200 Obafemi has got all those tools that I think everybody can easily look at him 158 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.879 and go like, oh yeah, I see him being on the main roster 159 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.080 someday, easily being a part of a wrestleman and not too far down the 160 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.320 line, right, And you talk about people that you could see down the 161 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:30.960 line in a WrestleMania being on the main roster. Somebody that's you know, 162 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.440 in the last six to eight months stepped out of the shadow of Carmelo. 163 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:39.120 Hayes, You've got Trick out there, Trick Williams, who is going against 164 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:45.080 Eli or Isla Dragonoff excuse me, for the NXT Championship. How awesome is 165 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.759 to see somebody like Trick kind of you know, step out of the shadows 166 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:50.519 of Carmelo, And what do you think this match is going to do for 167 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.879 him? Let's say if he wins and beats dragon Off. Sure, well, 168 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.559 look I think you can argue what it's already done for him or something. 169 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.039 I think everybody sees that a palpable every Tuesday night on USA. You 170 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.240 see it when he comes out. But look that I can when everything is 171 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.720 said and done. The reason I do this job is is again for somebody 172 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:16.279 like you know, for both for Trick and Melon, so on two different 173 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.960 levels, one to come from our collegiate standpoint and then the other to come 174 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:26.080 from again a very smaller and shorter independent RN. But both of them step 175 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.559 out and become these two incredibly talented young men and again form this this duo 176 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:35.080 that is easily one of the hottest thing that NXC has ever seen. But 177 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.320 then you watch Trick again somebody that you know. I can remember him coming 178 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.080 up to me and saying, I don't know any way to tell you this, 179 00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:45.919 and I want the ball, you know again, you let give me 180 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.399 my opportunity. And then to watch him do that, and to get to 181 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.039 be a part of it, I don't know again, to I don't know, 182 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.000 to help guide and nurture along the way, has just been a sheer 183 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.519 joy, uh you know, for me, for you know, to the 184 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:05.639 both of them. But again, I think what makes Tricks obviously also so 185 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.759 special is that you see him where he started from as being you know, 186 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.600 Carmelo whoever one could see had that talent, had that ability, had that 187 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:18.399 gift. But then you watch Trick to step out of the you know, 188 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.559 sort of the shadow of Carmelo Hayes and begin to you know again start something 189 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.519 that's almost, I don't know, like a ground swell that we haven't seen 190 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:31.039 before. And again it's when it happens from the very beginning. It's ever 191 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.559 organic, and you watch it just get bigger and bigger, and even shades 192 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.519 of it getting bigger and bigger. When you see him run out on SmackDown 193 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.519 and listen to the whole arena chanting, whoop that trick? You know, 194 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.720 that's you know again, then it's something you know, I don't know, 195 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.600 even bigger than I think he imagined. So it really is. It's the 196 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:56.080 reason we do this, which is again allowing these young men and women to 197 00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:00.519 be able to go out there and have those moments that we remember having again 198 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:05.120 that was so special and formidable to us as we grew, not just in 199 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.120 our lives but in our careers. And to be able to watch him to 200 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.120 and to do that and to get to be a part of it, I 201 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:15.360 can't tell you what a joy it was to sit there in the back of 202 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:20.120 the room as you know, as they sort of having these royal rumble meetings, 203 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.559 and I'm watching all these you know, young men and women that have 204 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:28.840 come through our NXT doors here and certainly for me to have a real I 205 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.759 don't know relationship and hands on sort of peace of their careers. It's just 206 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.120 it really is. It's you know, it's hard to think that, I 207 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:39.879 don't know, you have something better than the time you were in the ring, 208 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.639 your ring days. You feel like it's all over. But I'll tell 209 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:48.559 you what, this other side has just been so incredibly rewarding and obviously look 210 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.279 looking forward to you know, you know, Sunday, February fourth, here 211 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.919 at Vengeance Day for again these young men and women to come up here and 212 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.279 you know, come to Tennessee, Tennessee and show you all what it's like. 213 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.320 Absolutely again. You still grab tickets ticketmaster dot com. Get those tickets 214 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.200 immediately starting at twenty bucks. And you talk about being able to shape that 215 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:09.600 roster on the NXT, the younger generation coming up, and you know, 216 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.600 after the Rumble, a lot of people were pretty pumped about it. Bron 217 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:18.440 Breaker gave kind of a little short interview and indicated that the main roster was 218 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.799 his home. Now should we consider that an official call up for the former 219 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.360 NXT champion. Well, look, he may, you know, he may 220 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.399 feel like that's his home, but he's still got work here in NXC to 221 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:33.399 do, whether he likes it or not. So look, I'll tell you, 222 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:35.639 I'll tell you this much. Look, I'm always I'm always, uh 223 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.840 you know, that's strange enough. That's our job, right, our job 224 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:45.080 is to lose talent. But I got to you, he's one that you 225 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:48.080 know, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, you know, have trouble letting him 226 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:52.799 go. So look, I can assure you that there is more left for 227 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.720 broad Breaker here in NXT, one way or another. And so he's a 228 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.759 he's an incredibly talented, very gifted young man. As far as I'm concerned, 229 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.120 he's young and as we say, full of pison vinegar. So he 230 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:10.879 can if you want to, if he wants to double time, and he 231 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:12.919 can certainly do it. But I'm not letting go that easy. Yeah, 232 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:15.960 make that sure. Well, Sean, I know you're a busy man. 233 00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.000 You got to make the rounds today and go all over the place talking to 234 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.480 media, and we just want to say thank you once again for taking the 235 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:25.639 time out.
