Paul London

I think he had maybe just walked out on maybe four of his kids at that time.

So instead of like eight, so, but he was cool.

He wasn't a douchebag at the time.

And so I was like, I'll pick him.

And we were a tag team testing out another tag team before doors opened.

And like Booker T's doing commentary and everyone's having a laugh at us.

So the other two guys, one of them was this guy named Cedric of Hollywood, who was like a Texas guy who had been around for a long time.

He was like a former like Dick dancer or something who became a wrestler.

And the other guy was Scott Putzky.

So I'm now being asked to try out one of my trainers and it was just bizarre.

I was like, what the, what is happening here?

How did I get into this?

But they were trusting me to do, you know, to test.

And I was like, yeah, you want to give me a contract maybe?

And then I can really test you guys out.

Um,

But then it was by using the leverage that I had from a 0-1 offer that was on the table from Hashimoto, who was my boss when I was at 0-1, and the repetitive offerings by TNA to sign there.

I was talking with Dr. Tom Pritchard, and I said, look, if you guys –

don't want to sign me.

You've given me, you know, six or seven tryouts.
