Yeah, but that doesn't matter. No one cared when I was just a good wrestler. They cared once I switched and put on makeup and started acting goofy and doing Simpsons references in the middle of matches. And like I stole the Mr. Burns hop in. Yeah. I brought a tiny airplane to the ring and I told my opponent to hop in and I had three, 400 people chanting, hop in at this guy.

Yes, absolutely. Since I've switched this, which is about two years ago and about a year full of doing this actual character, I've been wrestling for eight years. Since I've switched this, it's just like, snowballed more and more and more. And now I have a shirt in Hot Topic and I've gotten signed to like a TV company. And they're just like, go do your weird stuff. Like do it.

This character is all about himself. He's all about making sacks of money, I call them. I carry around a money sack. I pulled it out after I won my contract on TV and I revealed it from my cape. I pulled a $20 bill and I said, look at these millions and I threw it.

Yeah, maybe. I think I do this thing where I try to punch people in the groin right before the bell rings so I can just pin them without doing any work. So I don't think I would do that because people know that I love Conan. Like as a character, it's very public that I love Conan. And that's one of Dan Housen's idols. So I don't think they would think that.
