Power by ninety.

Seven to five WAMZ, Kentucky, Anda's number one four country. I am your host, Austin Montgomery. You already know that Billy is probably gonna be out for a while. He's going to try to make his returns here and there a football season. He's moved back home and he's going through a lot right now. So we'll have him on whenever. But we have a couple special guests here. My man Vigilante Talks is going to be joining me as we welcome one of the hottest free agent signings this year.

There we go, I'm a veteran. I'm a veteran.

Well, we thank you for having us on here. Man, We'll just go ahead and get you a quick start off. You are going to be kind of like a homecoming here. You're a small town with duca kid returning back to Lexington. It's going down aw Dynamite and rampage this Wednesday at Rupp Arena. Any tell fans they expect about that show, especially off such a hot and what some people have been calling a controversial AE w all out this past weekend.

Yeah, I mean that's the thing. It gets. It gets pretty crazy over here.

I mean we really like to give the fans a different perspective, you know. But yeah, I mean I feel like all in and all out both I think delivered big time.

And I think.

Those shock moments helped add you know, like when you go see a movie and it just you know, like Saw or something, and you know it helps add to the story of what.

They're trying to tell.

So I think, uh, you know, I think the dynamite I think here in Lexington, I think it's going to get pretty wild. I think there's some things that's going to go on and fringing with We got Will Osprey, that's talking crap. We got packed, let's talk and craft already. So uh yeah, I mean, aw tikes, get them right now. You know, I'm saying to get it go.

I want to start by saying that I am so glad that you are where you're at right now. I think with a talent like yours, this is the best place to showcase it because they're really good.

Are showcasing your type of talent. Oh we know the story, the history between you and Will.

Yeah, that's a banger of a match no matter when guys is at right.

My question to you is I sidh for Will from the from.

The current roster, who are you looking forward to getting into rings?

I mean, the way I see it, it's feels like people have already lined up to get in the ring with me, you know, I mean the way I see it, whether it's Osprey.

Or Pack or.

Kyle Fletcher or whoever, it is like it seems like people are already lined up to show that they're better than me. So it's not about who I want to it's about everybody apparently wants to be in the ring with me apparently, So that's where I'm at right now. So whoever wants to step up first really.

Great and we're ae W is almost like the dream match heaven. There's just so many people on there that's made their name and other wrestling industries from either like Ring of Honor or any sort of any independent wrestlers all over the world that they've loved to see that they've never really gotten Showcase. So what's it like to kind of be on there and represent that and kind of give AW that sort of fresh look in that department and other dream matches that you could create.

Yeah, I mean, I think that's the That's kind of the thing with AW right now, is the the freshness, the newness, the the what ifs, because it is so new, so there is so much that there is out there to be to be done, as far as matches and stories.

And everything to be happened. So yeah, I mean, the way.

I see it is, I'm just the new guys ready to like make a splash.

So I just I want to, you know, do everything that I can.

To help them grow and again, being so new they've already did so much growing. They've already grown so much within the five years that they've already been going. So if I can help that in any way and to be able for this company to showcase the style of art that I really want to produce is awesome. So if we can work together and you all Elite Wrestling and Ricochet can really make a great mixture of what we're both trying to produce for our fans, then I think it's gonna be awesome.

Now that you mentioned.

You mentioned that for dudes working together and stuff like that right on my on my social media a few months ago, I did.

I did a video Austin correct me if I'm wrong. It was about six seven months ago where I see that fans.

Really love and missed Prince schoolwork correct and and how it's always been like you some sort of you've always been like on the babyface.

Side of of the roster.

Do you have you considered going heel or the idea of turning heel at a wine.

I think everybody just kind of isn't an extension of who makes feel they are. So I feel like, for for me, for example, I'm not afraid to tell somebody to shut up and smack them in their mouths, you know what I mean. But at the same time, I feel like the steps that we could take before we get there, So.

The good guy, bad guy, blah blah.

Blah blah, that's all, that's all just within the bad person. I feel like there aren't really good guys and bad guys. I mean, for today, people like, it's stand out to bad guys. Some people don't think so, it's kill monger bad guys. Some people don't think so, you know. So it depends. Like everyone's got their story and how they tell it. People can resonate with that. So maybe one of these days my story will be told differently than how I feel now. Maybe I will feel differently later,

We need to. But I don't know I've always kind of been.

If not for the fans and if not for the people, I wouldn't be where I'm at. So I'm not afraid to toust like Wheel our Spray or or whomever it is. We we got a problem. We can squash it right now. However, you need to watch it. So the good guy, bad guy, It's just it's different, you know who. It's all how you feel in the moment, and I might feel differently later.

Yeah, So whoever wants to whoever wants to step up to Rick Achet, and if you're willing to do it this Wednesday at a E W Dynamite, it's going to be going down at rupp Arena.

It's the baby Faces Awesome.

I'm with my man Vigilanti talks and of course we got our dude, Rick Achet, and you mentioned earlier or all in and then as we kind of sort of talked about how you know you're no stranger to performing in front of a big audience, You've done it all around the world. What was it what kind of stood out for your debut at aw and what was it like kind of just being in London and Wembley and performing in that stadium. What was what was a aw all land like for you?

Yeah, man, Wembley was amazing.

It really, it just it really gave that big feel, that big show feel, the big fight feel.

It really did.

And man, really the locker rooms make things different. Both locker rooms are great. I've known people here in alilit for man, most probably my whole career. I've known a lot of these guys my literally my whole career, the Chuck, Taylors and some of those guys since day one.

I've known. So it was honestly a pretty easy transitions.

It was pretty smooth for me to transition over. Everyone still did like I haven't seen a lot of these guys in five, six, seven years, maybe longer. Yeah, but honestly, it was kind of like I saw them last weekend. It was like we we took we started right back where we left off. So that's been kind of and it's just obviously the environments are different, so that those

I agree, believe it or not, I agree.

I said that whenever whenever you popped out and the crowd went crazy, I went crazy and.

My wife told me to calm down because I started throwing stuff around the house.

I love it. I love that I got really hip.

I was marking out. I could could I'm honestly saying I was marking out. I have a question that kind of works at two questions, right, because we know right now, by now you're probably one of those people that has some of the most viral moments when it comes to when it comes to wrestling and bring performances. So my question is, right, what is the biggest challenge you have

No, I don't.

I've never once gone into any performance thinking that I have.

To meet the fans expectations of something, not in any rude way.

Like It's not like I you know, everything I do is for the fans obviously, but I don't go into the match thinking I have to do this for the fan.

I'm now, I don't. I don't.

I just go into it with the with my mindset of really like how can I put on the best performance, but not necessarily what moves do I have to do to you know what I mean? Just the performance in general. Uh, most of the moves that I've done, I've been doing, Like whether it's in Japan or the Independen scene or in WWE or in AEW or wherever.

My move set has kind of been the same. I have not changed.

Even in the WWE, I was doing springboard four fifties across the thing onto the announced tables. I was doing double moon sauce off the cage. I was doing six thirty springboard shooting stars.

I was, I mean, what else? Do you know what I mean?

So as far as that goes, I don't really have any pressure on I don't put pressure on myself to do that.

I do put pressure on myself to.

Like you just said, like you you went crazy and you were throwing stuff because you had a feeling inside like I want to get people a good feeling about what they're seeing, but not necessarily do I put the pressure on myself to do a specific move or do something crazy. So yeah, I just I do, but I do want to give them a feeling. I do want them to leave the building remembering rincochet, because especially here, aw, everybody can do so much cool stuff, So.

I go about it.

I just want them to walk away remembering something that they did, whether it is a move or it is somehow my selling or the feeling, whatever it is.

I do want to give them a feeling, but I don't put that pressure on myself.

Really focus.

More on the whole of the performance overall, and not just I want to go in there and make this particular move, which is also because we could see it throughout the match, like it's not just we waiting for that moment, it's like we know it's going to be a banger, So yeah, we're paying attention. And I, as a fan, I could appreciate well.

Yeah, yeah, dude, that's most certainly appreciated. Everything that you've done for the sake of all the fans entertainment out there, and that's what pro wrestling is all about. And of course you can find That's what AW is all about. When they make their way to rupp Arena this Wednesday,

I mean, I've for even before I even got to Vegas, whatever I've been wanting to see Bruno Mars for a long time, forever, so that one's on the top of the list of just concerts.

I've seen in general. It was so much fun. It was amazing.

I would suggest if anybody has the opportunity, I said, go see Bruno Mars.

It was awesome.

You could I even you know, you could see you could even see like Jennifer Lopez and you could see Voice the men down there and they were having a good time.

So it was awesome. But I mean we've seen a lot of stuff.

We've seen magic shows, We've seen comedy shows.

We saw Chris Tucker. Chris Tucker was awesome.

Nice.

But we see everything we go to see. We've seen like Chris Angel, We've seen Donnie Osman. We've seen so many Little Perry Fader. There's so much stuff that we've seen. We've seen Usher. Usher was awesome.

Oh yeah, but.

Uh, I mean Usher was great. Bruno Mars is still up there. I mean there's still more to see. There's there's so much stuff that's awesome. I love going to see show.

Yeah. Absolutely.

I get to see Bruno Mars last year. He's a part of Bourbon and Beyond and he headline and he was a baby face and it was such a he came out to twenty four Carrot Magic.
