Welcome welcome welcome welcome welcome to decimo why I decided to change it up today, man I know we all enjoy this series I'm enjoying this series or whatever but I decided to change it up This is just a thought for my head. I do not cover Wrestling I do not cover pro wrestling and all I do not commentate on Wrestling I just But I would tell you this if it's somebody that I know I probably will come data I don't do wrestling. I mean, that's my least sport to Commentate or to talk about it. There's plenty of people I can go listen to that talks about it That's the reason why I don't cover it because I can just go listen to it to what they say But um if it's somebody I know, you know Let's just say I don't cover pro wrestling, you know, I'm saying but independent wrestling
Indie wrestling I can pretty much cover that because I used to go to the the indie pendant wrestling scenes all the time I used to go day leave man. I bet I've been to shows and um I've seen some good independent wrestling wrestling up front before you talk about the independent scene Yeah, I've been there for many years Pictures and everything so yeah, but if it's independent wrestling, I will talk about it But if it's pro wrestling, I do not talk about pro wrestling. I do not talk about WWE and all that. So anyway pro wrestling now here for it But so I'm here to talk about independent wrestling is it better than the pros I like independent wrestling right now, and I know this is a stretch or something You're gonna be like how is it better than pro wrestling look pro wrestling is in a funk
Okay, it's in a funk. Okay, WWE is in a funk right now. I'm just be honest with you. Because It's just there. I don't you know, but would I have to come talk about it? Yeah, I'm just saying pro wrestling in channel It's in a funk. You know, we don't have any Top Stars, you know, we have some but not a lot. You know what I'm saying like you know Who can I say I might take it all the way back like the rocks of the world the cone stones of the world You're a sandwich on scene as of the world the agency styles of the world They're wearing the origins of the world the Cody roads of the world. It's the impunks of the world The buttistas of the world. I can keep going. I can keep going. I can keep going. I can't even go. I got debit But the thing is we do let me calm down a bit It's not going to be here. I know I you know The thing is we do not have
The book of tease of the world. You know, we do not have those timeless stars like star power. You know what I'm saying? You know We are here You know To understand What our wrestling is right? Y'all already know a person is right Now Yeah, I don't know if that makes sense. I think I got a channel The aliens what I think the aliens are trying to challenge the way when I said we are Um Anyway, I took this but um the thing is um I'm sitting here in my mind and I am thinking That um pro wrestling could be a little bit better. It's more it's getting predictable I see a lot of commentators who are talking about how it is getting Prodictable w has gotten predictable over and over and over and over again Wrestling is fake to me because y'all are holding the person's head and punching them instead of punching them directly
You know what I'm saying now do all the other moves and stuff. Yeah, you know You know you gotta know be careful at work or you could really hurt somebody I understand wrestling because I've seen wrestling up close and yeah, I can really tell you how fake wrestling really is I've been to independent shows. I've seen how wrestling is fake But other moves that I have seen looked at real now other moves I have seen Look, it's 100% real Um, but y'all know wrestling sells a lot of moves. They really don't hit anybody that hard You know, it's just them selling the moves. So it's just them being It's just flopping like I was trying to say in basketball, you know, they're flopping everywhere It's really easy because nobody really hits you that hard You know, I'm saying unless you do get hit or like you have seen now UFC is real fighting because they're really hitting you with all they got they're not, you know It's not part of no script. No, I'm saying here's a boom boom boom boom
Wow, you know what I'm saying like Israel hits real fighting now always rolling Way wrestling and Monday wrestling will be real to me The only way it will be real to me is That you're doing kickbox kickboxing wrestling Kickbox kickbox wrestling right now. That's real. That's real You know just wrestling your kickboxing now. That's real. That is pow pow pow pow It was I think kickboxing a long time ago up front. Oh my god. It was the best thing that I ever slow I was like oh my god. This is so real like I'm sitting here like a while I used to know somebody used to be here to see well Yeah, my dad and him actually knew somebody never to need to see them Correct there, but it was so amazing. I seen this. Oh my god. It's amazing I if I can go to another way if I know if you or a UFC underground fighter, please invite me I would go out pull up that hell. I'm pulling out. I really would pull up that I would see you fight
Cuz they go down up in that man. I felt like GTA back. I was a bit outside Yo, hey, I'm saying to see a ton of legs. Hey, but we're the bad guy. I don't know Anyway, I digress, but anyway, the thing is I just feel like progress needs just in It's just They're not listening to the fans. I feel like the fans That are on the internet do matter. I feel like people feel like they don't matter. Look the people in the stadiums You know, they're like like all the commentators, you know, like the ICW You know internet community, internet wrestling community You know That counts bro is with we fans watching you got that about you spending your money to watch it digitally or technology Whatever you want to call it, you know, even though you're watching it virtually, you know You're still spending your money, you know, if it ain't for the people that are spending virtually
And the people that are spending in person There wouldn't be no brand, but I will say the internet community counts too They're paying for subscriptions to watch your wrestling. So I know there's Bit higher ups and all that little carpet wrestling. Try and say they don't matter The only people that matter wasn't in the stadium. No It wasn't an internet, you know, they matter too Because they're paying every subscription You know, they're watching your brand Okay, you got P you see you put it together. You have in person and people that's on the internet And there's a lot of people that watch it virtually. That's a lot of fans. That makes majority of your fans up Okay, so reason why I feel like independent wrestling Is is better because I'm seeing some stars I haven't seen some stars Don't end it pretty pretty wrestling. Let's see and I have I have been a fan of independent wrestling for a long time
I have seen some good Talented people and I have heard people getting particularly signed by wwe in the independent scene So you don't like you know independent wrestling house shows or whatever you want to call I've been to those and I have noticed I feel like oh my god these guys are Good these people can be stars. I have seen people be stars. You know, one time um And I know it just starts with it was way bigger I mean when when WWE and then retirement gone all this other stuff He um, I But I had one time only to show it in edges styles was in a Independent, you know, wrestling company. He was doing it independent wrestling company and he has to take a bit of a true story that's before he Went to WWE and got signed by wwe and I was like wow independent wrestling don't sleep on it. It definitely has Some stars in here. I have seen it. I went to over 10 shows. I seen it up front
I seen the most dangerous flips the most best flips. I almost got to took a bump from people and I was like, oh my god You know, I almost took a bump. I'm so sorry For road sometimes it was like oh my god. I'm about to think about when it's about to get good Them slamming each other. I mean they sold it so good. I feel like independent wrestler be selling moves better than the pros I was already saying because I've seen it up front and see the one front I went to the WWE event all time ago when I was a kid It was interesting. I like that. It was so I was close to the pirate the pirate room side. Man, that jump To bust your ears open like I'm not gonna lie. You know, you're just like, but yeah But at the end of the day like in which one I love independent wrestling because you could go up there and meet the people yourself Yeah, I know WWE has meet ingredients and all that stuff, but that's high You know, and I never average family can't do that right? So these are independent shows. Although going there and actually meet people I met in VP. I swore a lot true story
In VP was it is independent wrestling show and he was wrestling You know what I'm saying? And my boy, I rather I kid you not and I was like now. I was so starched Cuz I always wanted to meet that man with her. I swear to God. It's a picture. I swear to God. It's a picture It's only God. I swear to God. I swear to God. I mean if he was so dope, man I like on a metal one. I was like a teenager and I was like oh my god. It's the nicest guy you would ever see Nice guy you ever see. I can't see. I mean he's he's a nice guy real talk real talk So y'all like that. Yeah, he's like he's there. No, it's just taking the opportunity being at the right place at the right time I love independent wrestling cuz I saw it in my face now speaking of independent wrestling I'm what to talk about rcw Okay Y'all know I know We can't book her in You know at the people That is on his team. I love RCW. I just got to watching it and my God, it was great. It was good. I'm saying
It's gonna fight to BDE was in there, you know, I'm saying I think it was one lady called ladybird Prattin somebody and then I had seen House money, you know, that was a group That I had watched a couple of matches and honestly it's good. It's good I gotta give you this is gonna fight too. Why is it gonna fight too? It's not time to WWE this man It's a star. I don't care if it's Roman Spain's cousin, but I don't give it to the check I'm happy. I don't give a check or a bit about that. You hear me this The way he was wrestling in there was amazing. I mean this man was hurt on one leg the guy just kept Pam is late Pam and his lay on the onto the you know the pole or whatever I forgot what the other guy name was but he was just Pam in his leg and this man was fighting on one leg and I'm talking about jumping off this hurt And like taking this guy out he would have wanted to match But the guy moved out the way and he boom right so he moved out the way right
So When the guy is supposed to move down the way Zilphatsu, you know, in the referee it referee took a big bump And I think it was a hard bump because he did not get back up Then you know then he already knocked the guy. He hit that one move. Pam He already knocked him out and it was going to be one two three referee stood out so another referee comes in And then that referee stops the other referee Counting the three said man no no no no this qualification man. He bumped me man This qualification. I was like wow that's the missing art in Pro wrestling because it's y'all I don't know is it that we scripted? I know But the thing is It's like that's the missing art. Do y'all remember and I know this sounds gonna sound like a You know a pretty much a Mantella effect do y'all remember when referees would take bumps Is stuff and it would like take bombs or either You know stuff like that and Either and you know remember when referees used to like come down real fast
You know how do you notice that them to be Referees don't be coming down and say it's like that Y'all know that y'all remember referees used to check you Check everything on you and make sure you ain't got no No, I'm too long. Yeah, I remember that. I's barely seeing that. I feel like pro wrestling has gotten lazy Yes, I said fight with your mama. I feel like it has gotten lazy. I feel like WWE has gotten lazy I guess I'm gonna go ahead and say that too. I just feel like pro wrestling in general has gotten lazy and comfortable Okay, he lazy comfortable and predictable Okay, people have lost their creative motive in Pro wrestling and independent shows be doing better than me. They don't go pro wrestling shows I'd be seeing the business shows like or I see that we obviously and I was like oh my god. It's actually good I said BDE BDE He was right there and man was looking good. He was going to kids um Damn, I'm just calling them all damn day Cuz I forgot what his first thing was. I'm just gonna all damn big as part is his little slogan or whatever
It's called all damn day I don't know what's the exact all damn day or whatever Um, he was gonna get some it was a good match. But he was high flying going here. Boom. Don't You know what I'm saying? I mean, yeah, this guy beat but it's in something I don't know I don't think it was um, they didn't call it this qualification But it felt like it should have been this qualification. But I think it was Let's see Yeah, it was a qualification Cuz one of the guys came in there and I forgot One of the guys came in there. I know we're really forgot. Oh, which one he hit Oh, no, he didn't hit BDE. He hit Is that all damn day or whatever or whatever. Yeah, this guy came in and came down the room And he's running it then he gets the chain and wrap it around his fist and then hits the man in the in the ring So he just came in this other guy came in and started beating up one second all day of day
And then the next thing you know match in it nobody won to after that BDE and check on damn day That's what's over. It's a guy just came in. I don't know where he's crazy um By the Disqualification, I would I would say And um I watch on with this lady bird and some other girl um, I see them where I thought there was a good match I mean there's one move that I seemed it and it looks like Yeah, I think I'm supposed to do the running bulldog or whatever they call that She did the running bulldog off the top rope and I was like oh my god Impressive and I had seen like so many moves in that match and I was like man. This lady is killing it So I think it's a lady bird. I think it was a bird and I'm sure I'm not sure Was it her or not, but she ends up keeping the title and ends up retaining it And then after that, I mean yeah, the match was the match was pretty good
I mean, yeah, bulldog off the top of the roof was actually amazing, man. I'm like I actually like that Um, I'm a big fan of independent wrestler guy. I mean the I love it. I mean, I'm talking I'm just saying if y'all been the independent wrestler, you know Let me know if you don't think that we meant to RCW um I like it man That's very great. Yeah, now I watch that and um Another one I had watched it was uh, you know, trying to match um What do they call it? That's just cited earlier. They called it House money. So it was a group called House money. It was a six-man On a 10-team match they all come out And it was close good like I really liked that the um Damn, I can't remember his name was But either way he was good He was good um The same was
Big something Big something but anyway, this guy was good. I love And they had some guys that was going to win the NXT some of the NXT championship or whatever they almost were close to getting it And it was both tag teams. So it had just like one big guy um And he was like totally good man. He was good. He had this other guy. He was good Um, I got this Oh, I forgot what his name was but he was good too Um This match I was like And he's get away. I can't remember these guys because I would have to definitely go back Do um to go see it But it was actually good six-man tag team the heel team actually So I mean inside load of blizzards the match I am telling you it was I watched another match um, I forgot what it um Um

I mean he didn't want wow kick them in the face Wow, they're somehow wrapped his leg around a while by you.
