sounded so good. I'm Austin, your host with my co host Billy the Kid. You can find us on ninety seven to five w A MZ. We are joined by a very special guest here, our guy, three time guest on the show you're most reoccurring wwear and that's our guy, mister Austin Theory. What's going on, dude? Well, you know I would say I'm in a good move, but I realized you guys got T shirts and I don't. I was about to say, man, I mean with three time guests, now we might have to mail your T shirt. I mean
we need three T shirts. Come on work, I got one for you. What do you wear like a large? I know you like to show those muscles. Yeah, dude, let's go large. You know, I mean extra large is what I need to be in. But we can do a large. It look great. Yeah, to fill it out real nice. Yeah, the Babyfaces T shirts rocking them here on the podcast. Well, Austin Man, since last time we had you on, obviously WrestleMania went down and you had a big time WrestleMania. Probably my favorite moment we were
there in person, watching from the press box. My favorite moment of the whole weekend, seeing our guy Austin Theory and Grayson Waller who's been on the podcast before as well, seeing you guys win the tag Team Championships. Just talk about that WrestleMania moment and how the experience was as a whole that that whole weekend. Well, I got to say one of the coolest things about being in a ladder match at WrestleMania. I believe WrestleMania twenty five was one
of the WrestleManias we had in the past that had a ladder match. It was for a briefcase, but for me, such a cool moment to be able to, you know, be that kid again and be in a ladder match at WrestleMania, the match that I remember WrestleMania twenty five watching and thinking that was the coolest match that was on the card. And now I'm in that match and not only that am I in it, but I'm becoming a new tag team champion with Grayson Waller. So live in the Dream, dude,
Live in the Dream. Yeah, I mean it was. It was such a really cool moment, and honestly, I think some of the people were confused because right at first, you know, it was the undisputed tag team Champions, and it seemed like that that's when they initially declared it would be both brands. So we have you and Grayson Waller also friend of the show, who rocking some new titles in you know, they debuted that new
belt and basically leading you guys is a face of SmackDown. So what's it gonna be with you two young guys kind of leading that tag team division on SmackDown. In just kind of a sidemark question, how you like in those titles that they give you the brand new design kind of throwback to like the old ruthless aggressionary kind of at nod. Yeah, Well to speak on that
first, the titles, man, they look amazing. I mean, the guys on SmackDown are Truth and Miz, the second place tag team champions, they're titles, you know, they're whatever, but ours, oh man, And like you said, it's a throwback. You know, I remember guys like Ray Masterio and Eddie Guerrero having the titles that look like this, and that's awesome. You know, Ray Mystereo. You know, there's a little
beef there, but it's still cool, you know what I mean. But as far as me and Grayson go on SmackDown, we run that show man. We do what we want, We show up when we want, and there's a lot of teams. You know, all those teams are right here. You know, Grayson says that all those teams are so good they're right here, and then here's a town down right above them. And that's just
how it's gonna be, you know. And honestly, sitting here really trying to think of what team could take these titles from us, there's there's not one. It's just not everybody's just kind of I don't know, just Dusty, you know, Yeah, we're brand new, we're fresh man. I love it. I love it. Well, we did just have the draft that shook up the rosters a little bit, so you know, some new blood on SmackDown and SmackDown's going to be coming right here to Louisville at the
Young Center on June seventh. That is actually my mine in Austin's birthday week, So it's gonna be a fun, fun time seats on June seventh. But you know, Austin, you guys are taking over SmackDown. Like you said, For fans that maybe have not come out and seen a town down under live in person, what can they expect at the Young Ciner on June seventh for you guys, well, they could expect to see the greatest undefeated tag team champions of all time. And seeing an undefeated team these days,
that's you know, you don't see that, especially in Kentucky. So you're gonna get that. You're gonna get the greatest champions, and who knows, who knows who shows up to SmackDown anymore? You know, I mean, will Dwayne come back? Will he show back up? Will have to put him back in his place? Or will it be good old John? You know, we remember what happened to good old John. Where's he at somewhere
back there? Getting a town down? You know, that's just how it goes, man, So make sure you come out because it's gonna go down, and most certainly it's gonna go a town down. How cool would that be just to see the rock and you go one on one little promo battle in the ring here in Louisville again. I know you probably you know you've held your own against him before, but he's in this final boss mode and that would really kind of be a way for you to kind of, you
know, really really kind of put him back down. I think that'd be pretty cool. I love him being called the final Boss because that's it. He's at the finale. We're gonna end it, and we're gonna step on top of him and me and Grayson Waller Man we don't care, you know. And Grayson said in the past, hey watch what you say. You know he's our boss. He ain't my boss, all right, he ain't
my boss? Right? Yeah, he had to take a cheap shot, you know, hit the people's elbow, get his little pop, get his little reaction, and then now he's you know, main eventing a WrestleMania because of Austin theory. You know, I believe he'll be there one day. Yeah, no doubt that I'll be there. Yeah, absolutely, oh man, most certainly. Man, A lot of times. I mean, it probably can't even count how many times it's gonna be insane. But Dwayne, I mean, maybe he'll be there. We'll just have to, you know,
bring him on down in his wheelchair. You heard him Rock come to Louisville. Man, Yeah, pull up, Man, I'm love you know, I still got a chip on my shoulder, Dwayne. Yes, sir, we stand on business over here, right. Austin Man, You've been lucky to have a lot of WrestleMania moments in your young career, of this
latest one winning the Tag Team Championships. But you know a lot of people were kind of surprised when you guys won because there was speculation online for some reason or another that you guys were gonna be pulled from the ladder match potentially. I know Grays and Waller commented on and on Twitter. Did you did, I mean, clearly he saw it. Did you see any of that
speculation? Like, what were you guys thinking about that? Yeah? I actually I didn't see it, but I heard a lot about it, like people saying it and I'm like, wow, like somebody just wakes up and type something on the internet and then everybody believes it. I loved it because it explains that, you know, there's just a bunch of idiots out there. But when it comes to me and Grayson Waller, there was no way we weren't going to be in that tag team ladder match. I mean we're
the best team all around on both rosters completely. And we talked about last time we were on here it was actually fresh off of having the elimination chamber in Perth and then now you guys are just fresh off of backlash in France. Won't you go ahead and explain to the crowd and everyone what that kind of backlash experience was, Like, I know we just had on Jake Cargill last week said that European crowd was something that she's never been a part of
before. What was kind of your backlash experience? Like, and I know you said he had a rough time trying some of that bedroom night and some of the food over in Australia. So what was the culture like for you in France? Oh, man in France, it was amazing. Anytime you can come out on your entrance and they're singing it, you know, when they're singing A town down and then they let the lyrics go and then they A town down. It's such a man. It just takes you to that
level and it almost like it just it puts us in another atmosphere. You know, everything you do in the ring, you feel like you're floating around. You feel like a superhero. You know. The crowd is just so invested in everything. And there's never a down moment. I mean anytime, you know, even wrestling here in the States, you know there's moments where it gets kind of quiet and comes down, you know, but they are so vocal. They do not stop singing, they do not stop saying things
that I don't even know what they're saying. But it's so cool to be around man and compared to you know, Australia, that was man. That was such a huge show though. But yeah, I got to give it to France. Man so vocal and really just they brought the energy and that's what it's all about. Everybody needs to bring the energy. So Kentucky bring the energy. You know, it I think you'll find that here here in Louisville. You know, really strong wrestling roots in this city with OBW.
You know, the breeding ground for we way back in the day with guys like Batista and Sina and Norton and all that. So we like our wrestling here in Louisville. I think you're gonna a good time at the Young Center on June seventh, of course. Uh but so what about the crowd I wrestle Mania. I know, you guys kind of got like the short end of the stick beyond Night one when it was pretty pretty damn cold out right. That seemed to kind of like affect the energy of the crowd on Night
one compared to night too. So what did did it seem like that to you guys when you're out there? And how did you guys handle like that
that cold weather aspect? Man? I remember that whole day and showing up real early to go out there, and you know, kind of see how big the latters were, like we're and you could fill it out, and dude, they were so cold, like they were freezing and it was so cold in the morning, and then as we approached the night, I remember warming up in the back and you know when you walk out, you know, down the tunnel to Gorilla, you're out there in the arena, so
you fill the cold and dude, I was trying so hard to warm up and I was freezing. But going out there, man, you're adrenaline hits for sure. But when you get hit with one of those ladders or you put your hands on one of those ladders, oh man. And I remember at the beginning of that match, me and Grayson watched everybody you know, go after the judgment day, so we were like, all right, let's go get some ladders. And we went to go grab the ladders, and
man, when we picked them up, they were freezing. So I was like, all right, this could be a long night. Or you know, if we are the greatest undefeated tag team champions of all time, we'll get these titles quick. What happened there? You go? Yeah, It's an interesting thing wrestling because you can't really like layer up right like for football you're playing outside. I remember playing in some cold games when I played back in high school, but I could put you know, a bunch of layers
on. But with wrestling, obviously, you go out there and entice and you're shirtless, and yeah, dude, I'm just out there in my underwear. Dude, you know, just trying to win a title climbing a ladder. I know it sounds crazy, but you know that's what I was trying to do out there. Yeah, and you know, I think the uh, everybody seems to speak on that on that first night, and the second night it was a little bit better too. But me and Billy actually this
was our first WrestleMania Austin. We got to go to WrestleMania and we got to be up in the press box courtesy of of our guys at w w E. It was it was a really fun time and and and they took care of us. I definitely know that we were your strongest supporters up there.
Once I saw you guys climb the ladders, it was it was almost like if we called it the friend of the Show match, because uh, we've you know, we've had uh, we've had our truth on and we had Damian Priestor before that, and he was a little bit cocky about losing those titles. So if he was gonna lose to anybody, it was definitely gonna be our guy's a town down under you know what I'm saying. You know, it's just what it is. Man. Everybody else is second place
and we were just made for first place. I'm sorry if you don't like it, it just is what it is. Quick thing to do before I get you out of here, just one quick internet meme. I don't know if you're aware of this, and I wanted to ask this last couple of times. I don't know how much attention that you pay to everybody that has memes of you, but I think it's a good one. I mean, you're from Atlanta. There's an usher tie in somewhere the popping bottles, Sparkles
and Champagne. Have you seen that meme? Can you speak on that? All right? Let's talk about this all right. This has been a ongoing thing. I remember one of my friends approached me and he goes, dude, do you know like you're viral online? And I'm like what, And he's like, honestly, I don't understand it, but people love it. And I'm like, okay, And then I see it and I watch it and I try to figure it out, and I'm just like, I don't
understand, but people love this. So I've had people come up at meet and greets and weirdly just kind of whisper popping bottles, and I'm like, what is going on is a secret thing I don't know about, Like I don't know what's going on, but I am aware of it, and I have people, you know, ask me about it. And my favorite thing to do is act like I don't know what they're talking about. Sure, yes, it drives him crazy, but yeah, man, I don't know.
They really want that to be my new theme song though, so I guess. So it sounds like us Here and I don't. I don't know. Maybe it's something else because I've used it all. We can't disrespect us here like that. It's not USh. I don't think it's anybody from Atlanta, but uh yeah, man, popping bottles in champagne, that's that's what we want. Gotta love it. I'll drink though, so you know that for you champions, stay in shape like you, bro That's what I'm saying.
All those Jabbronis pop bottles in champagne, and that's why they're broke. That's why you're broke, all right, That's why you're not on this podcast doing the things I'm doing all right. Shout out to all the broke people, and shout out to Austin Theory Man.
