Free! MAH BOOL
It's inside with Chris and me.
Amazing red. Hi, how you doing? Great to see you, man. Nice to be here. Great to be here. Let me be one of the first to congratulate you on becoming a TNA Hall of Famer. Yes, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You looked
legitimately surprised.
Yeah,
yeah. Um, I didn't know what was happening. Um, all I was told by Frankie was stay here. There's gonna be a shot between both of you. Um that's all I kept hearing. And then before The last part of the match was happening. Frank says, Stay close, stay close. Um and as soon as uh People were powdering, he grabs the mic. And as soon as he grabbed the mic, I instantly knew something's happening, something's up. Um What do you think it was? I dn I thought he's gonna promo on me. So I I the last couple of matches I've had is uh It's like dream matches type kind of things. And um a lot of the guys would take it upon themselves to grab the mic and Big me up and put me over and and you know, very grateful of it and I thought this is one of those things
That he was gonna do, but I wouldn't thinking this is not a indie, this is C and A. You can't redo that here. And then when he started talking, he said, Pay attention to the monitor in the back. Me. They reached out a couple of times before um about this situation about Hall of Fame and I just kind of I'm good. I'm good. Thank you. I'm good. Why'd you say no? Um to say the truth, man, I'm not that kind of a guy. Like I I just feel like I done one thing in my life, wrestled and I think I'm good with doing that. And I think when people come up to me and say, All these great stories, it just kinda like puts me in a box where I'm like, I'm just doing my own thing in my own lane and I'm very appreciative. I helped you out and stuff like that.
But I think Hall of Fame is such a big I don't know. I just
didn't want to accept it. Is it also because Hall of Fame feels very final and you're still doing this? You're still acting? Yeah,
that's that's actually a good. Way of thinking about it for sure. Um And a lot of times I just I don't feel like I'm old. Like I I know I'm older. But I don't feel like I'm Hall of Fame. bound yet. You know what I mean? It's kind of the same thing you're saying. Um, because a lot of times I did feel like I call it I called it quits and then I came right back to wrestling. Yeah. So I think from here on out, I'm never gonna retire. I'm just gonna let it happen. Let it just happen. Let's see what happens. So we'll never
know when it's your
final match? Never know. Never know. It'll just happen. You just won't see me again.
How did it feel getting back into a TNA ring after 15 years?
Very, very uh surreal. Very surreal. Especially coming back to a match like the Ultimate X, which is uh I'm afraid of heights. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I'm afraid of heights. The Ultimate X match always scares me. Always. Um the ropes that you have to climb up and grab, they're not the local monkey bars. Um they're harder ropes, they hurt, sometimes just the the buckle part of it. And I know it doesn't look like it's high maybe on T V. But Once I I'm shorter, so once I get to the top rope, I have to climb the truss on the side in order to jump up and grab. Uh the wrong. But you know, guys like Frankie Gazarian can just jump up and Spider Man up there and Frankie's amazing by the way. He's incredible.
To be his age and to climb up there like that, insane. And he looks like he hasn't aged. At all. Right. At all. And I thought I had that little gift, but Yeah, but you do.
Oh, thank you. Thank you. But it's full circle, right? Because your last match in TNA in twenty eleven was an Ultimate X match. Wasn't it? Yes. And you come back so bad with fifteen years later in your first match back. It's like welcome back. Welcome back to the match that you're terrified of. Here you go.
Um Yeah, but like I said, very surreal. Love seeing everybody in the back. Um, people haven't seen in so so long. They have families now. Um They're just wiser, grown. Like we were such kids back in the day in CNA, at least for myself. And not everybody's like a grown man, a grown woman, and they have their their houses, their
