Who is Lexis King and why is he on the After Dark Podcast?
Yo, what's going on, Busted Open Nation? And thanks for tuning in to another episode of the After Dark Podcast. Tonight, the OG of AD, Uncle Bully, sits down with the founder of Birthright, Lexus King, and you're not going to believe what he has to say about Zilla Fatu. Tune in right now to the After Dark Podcast.
This is the Busted Open
Podcast. Birthright with a big six-man victory in the main event of NXT tonight. Joining me right now is a guy that I only have a little bit of experience with along the travels. Had a chat with him here and there, yada, yada. He is the son of Brian Pillman. He is Lexus King. Lexus, welcome to Busted Open After Dark.
I'm glad to be here. But, Billy, you put me through a freaking table. You call that a little experience? That's a lot of experience. That was about enough of you that I needed in that time of my life. But, yeah, we've definitely crossed paths.
Lexus, you just called me Billy.
Bully, right? You
called me Billy. So you're off to a... horrible start you busted exactly um yes i before covid we we had a match i did put you through a table i beat the hell out of you but you would stood the beating and you came back and i think somehow later on in the evening you won a a local independent wrestling championship that night right yeah it was a pretty good night for you i think
yeah maybe some
of your
greatness rubbed off on me off the table
Hey, it's all about getting the rub, brother, all about getting the rub. And you're doing pretty damn good. I think we're seeing the best of you right now with Birthright. When you first came to NXT, I think you were doing okay. But now that you and Birthright have gotten together, I mean, look at what happened tonight. Big six-man victory over Zilla and Legacy and Prosper. Talk to me about Birthright. Other than you guys and Ariana obviously having your dads in common, what else makes Birthright such a strong unit to deal with in NXT?
Well, I mean, you hit the nail on the head. It's our birthright. It's in our blood. But there's definitely more to it than that. Uriah Connors, especially, this kid came in here. You know, I had a little bit more notoriety coming in, working for other companies and stuff. He came in here and, you know, they put him to the grindstone. They didn't treat him like a second. You wouldn't have even known he was who he was because of how they treated him here. And they made him work hard. And that kid does nothing but put on his best matches and everything he can to do for this company, just like I do. But it comes to a point where this system here, this company, tries to change who you are. They try to make you forget everything.
that it's in your blood, that it is owed to you, that we deserve it because we do. They want us to be on an even playing field with everybody else. No, we already set up the chairs, okay? And that's the thing. He's paying his dues 10 times over going through the indies. I was on the indies for six years. I wrestled at many different companies. I finally came here when I felt like I was ready. And you know what they did?
What was the big six‑man victory that sparked the Birthright conversation?
They took a guy that was confident and that knew who he was, and they started getting in my head, making me second-guess myself. And that's what they're going to do to Zillify, too. He comes in here all willy-nilly happy. Yeah, you're over, kid. Wait till you're in this system. Wait till they break you down and you'll forget who you are. And I know exactly who Zillow Fatu is, right? Second-generation wrestler. Lost his father at a young age. I know somebody just like that. I'd walk in his shoes.
You definitely understand what it's like to be a talent like Zilla Fatu. Listen, your dad was very successful in our industry. I'll never forget the day your dad stepped foot in the ECW arena and had the entire place going crazy. I worked against Eddie Fatu, Eki Umaga. I was good friends with him. I get it that if anybody can understand Zilla, It's you, but it doesn't seem like Zilla wants any part of what you're saying or what Birthright is offering. Is Zilla Fatu in your mind a lost cause now, or is he somebody that you will try to continue to pursue?
