[1:01] person when it comes to every facet of
[1:02] wrestling I'm learning just like
[1:04] everybody else but I've been getting
[1:05] more into Japanese wrestling and I love
[1:08] Starlight kid Starlight kid is probably
[1:10] going to end up being my favorite
[1:12] current wrestler from all her matches
[1:13] that I've been watching like she just
[1:15] won The Wonder of stardom Championship
[1:17] she defeated Natsu po at dream Kingdom
[1:19] 2024 and as I'm doing my Googles on this
[1:22] I'm understanding this to be the second
[1:24] highest title in stardom right behind a
[1:25] world championship I watched that match
[1:27] in full and they were going crazy the
[1:30] whole pay-per-view was gas packed but
[1:32] this match had me on the edge of my seat
[1:34] the whole time look at this suplex bro
[1:37] Jesus Christ congratulations to SLK for
[1:39] the Victory and I'm wishing a healthy
[1:41] triumphant reign with that title fully
[1:43] showing the world that she's one of the
[1:45] best in the business at only 23 years of
[1:48] age I'm thoroughly excited to keep
[1:50] following Japanese wrestling and
[1:51] learning more about the ins and outs of
[1:53] it so if you a fan please feel free to
[1:54] shoot me all the recommendations you
[1:56] have for matches bro side note I think I
[1:59] want to be one of the new members of the
[2:00] hate fan club they got to be one of the
[2:02] coolest factions out right now G and I
[2:05] literally have the word hate in my name
[2:06] please adopt me WWE vaults YouTube
[2:09] channel has been Making Waves lately in
[2:10] their content especially since we
[2:12] finally got the tajer versus Triple H
[2:14] match that everybody was talking about
[2:15] saying it was a banger spoiler alert it
[2:18] was as I was on the page binging content
[2:20] I saw they had a video of one of my
[2:21] goats Jeff Hardy I went through all the
[2:23] matches that led to his first WWE title
[2:26] Victory and in watching that video there
[2:27] was a lot that I really didn't remember
[2:29] I'm like the whole stretch to get to
[2:31] Armageddon where he won the title he had
[2:33] a clean victory over the Undertaker they
[2:36] post full segments Back stories
[2:39] documents and a pleather of other items
[2:41] that we never really get to see or
[2:43] really didn't realize that we forgot
[2:44] about but now we get the experience all
[2:46] over again they get a major thumbs up
[2:49] for me and I definitely went ahead and
[2:50] subscribed it's cool being able to
[2:52] relive all this stuff over again and to
[2:54] learn more about all these other facets
[2:55] of WWE 10 out of 10 would definitely
[2:58] recommend I don't got much to say about
[3:00] this one but this clip of makito
[3:01] stunning pocon hilarious you look at
[3:04] this and you tell me stone cold has a
[3:06] better stunner I think
[3:10] not I want to take the time to talk
[3:12] about some of the recent wrestling shows
[3:14] that I've been to in the past month or
[3:15] two I go to a bunch of shows and I
[3:17] collect all these clips these pics and I
[3:19] never end up using them so I'm going do
[3:21] it in December etu wrestling hosted
[3:23] their highly anticipated show Dial It Up
[3:26] live at the Mecca and Ridgefield Park
[3:28] New Jersey fun fact I actually sponsored
[3:30] one of the competitors on this event
[3:32] Shout Out J bougie for an incredible
[3:34] showing in that fatal fourway match he
[3:36] had [ __ ] shut up [ __ ] and I was late
[3:39] to that match live because New Jersey
[3:41] traffic the literal embodiment of two
[3:43] shitty ass cheeks but I did end up
[3:45] watching that match again on IW TV's
[3:47] website which I implore you to do the
[3:49] same Shameless plug I made it in time
[3:51] for the rest of the card and I promise
[3:53] you it was phenomenal graps bro one
[3:55] thing I'mma always do is invest in a
[3:57] second row seat so I can watch without
[3:58] my life being in that much danger and
[4:01] that car did not disappoint you had
[4:03] matches like Contra unit versus gay best
[4:05] friends Desmond Cole versus Mike Santana
[4:09] Marcus mats versus Brandon Kirk just the
[4:11] name a few and that crowd was absolutely
[4:13] rocking by the way they unveiled that
[4:15] beautiful etu Atlantic Tag Team
[4:18] Championships they plan on hosting a
[4:19] tournament to Crown the inaugural
[4:21] Champions at the upcoming show Title
[4:22] Wave which is going to be this March
[4:24] right back at the mecca you better bet
[4:26] them in there too one thing about etu is
[4:28] that they always going to set the
[4:29] standard for what an indie show looks
[4:31] like especially when you want to rise so
[4:33] you better be prepared to expect the
[4:34] unexpected so I've never been to a blood
[4:38] sport before I've heard about it but
[4:40] I've never actually been and months ago
[4:42] I saw that they was having one at the
[4:43] White Eagle Hall here in Jersey City and
[4:46] I had to do it I had no idea what to
[4:48] expect from Josh Barnett's Blood Sport
[4:50] 12 going into it but leaving out of it I
[4:52] had no idea how I gone this long without
[4:54] attending one bro they mixed elements of
[4:56] wrestling MMA shoot style fights all
[4:59] together they was in a ring beating the
[5:01] [ __ ] out of each other bro it was
[5:02] Bonkers you want to talk about stack
[5:04] cards that show had names like Marina
[5:06] shaffir Josh Alexander Masha slamovich
[5:10] Charlie Dempsey bro it was so fire that
[5:12] MOX was in the building supporting
[5:14] Marina for this and I also didn't notice
[5:16] until after the fact but me and air Kawa
[5:18] was in the function bro the Stars was
[5:20] out the coolest part was being able to
[5:22] see Sumi Sakai face WWE's Carmen
[5:25] petravic in one of sumi's last matches
[5:27] on her retirement tour with the main
[5:29] event being Josh Barnett versus MVP and
[5:31] an actual Banger I want to take the time
[5:33] to show this one clip to emphasize how
[5:35] locked in the crowd
[5:39] was yes
[5:42] sir yes
[5:44] sir we people we people we
[5:51] people lastly for this segment let's
[5:54] talk about the recent defy and progress
[5:56] wrestling collab show in NYC Fair
[5:59] warning it was gas you missed out if you
[6:02] didn't pop up bro like I left early for
[6:04] work to come see this I'll be the first
[6:06] to say that I avoid NYC at any cost with
[6:09] that [ __ ] being a cash grab but this was
[6:11] something that I refused to miss the
[6:13] card was so cool and the crowd was hot
[6:15] bro they was there to see some amazing
[6:17] graps and it definitely delivered my
[6:20] number one reason for going to see this
[6:22] show live was that I was able to see
[6:24] UK's wrestling sensation Rio I've been a
[6:26] fan of Rio for a short time but every
[6:29] single match I've seen of her live
[6:31] Banger and if you don't believe me go
[6:33] watch her match against Leon Slater one
[6:36] of the greatest Indie matches I've ever
[6:38] seen in my life and I'm going to dive
[6:40] into that on another video her match
[6:42] against the real deal Zeta steel was the
[6:44] business props to Zeta steel as well
[6:47] showing us that ain't a coincidence that
[6:48] she in these streets with that WWE ID
[6:51] also I want to talk about this being one
[6:53] of the first times I saw man like Darice
[6:56] live 01 21 man like Darice is a [ __ ]
[7:00] star I don't care what nobody say that
[7:02] man is a walking cash cow with how that
[7:04] boy electrifies the crowd he had the
[7:06] crowd in the palm of his hands G his
[7:08] move set was fire 01 21 his ability to
[7:12] connect with the crowd is incredible bro
[7:14] like in an industry where companies seek
[7:16] to build Stars man like Darice would be
[7:19] the most Pro ready wrestler I've seen in
[7:21] a long time and also if you haven't
[7:23] picked up on it already his catchphrase
[7:25] infectious 01
[7:28] [Applause]
[7:30] being a content creator in wrestling it
[7:31] would be grossly irresponsible to not
[7:34] talk about the Monumental first night of
[7:36] WWE Raw on Netflix everybody done talked
[7:38] about this [ __ ] already so I'm not
[7:40] coming with any new groundbreaking
[7:41] Insight but I do have some quick things
[7:43] I want to point out first and foremost
[7:45] we got moving match Graphics boy like
[7:48] let's go that Netflix bag is very
[7:51] different because that production value
[7:52] that night was insane the Stars was out
[7:56] I'm so glad that the SBS is outside for
[7:58] this too and this is is coming from a
[8:00] [ __ ] who loves to act holier than now
[8:01] in my head I've been telling folks that
[8:03] it's cool to be a wrestling fan for the
[8:05] longest so to see this live right now
[8:07] chef's kiss I'm very proud to say that
[8:10] my only fandom I'm actually ashamed of
[8:12] is the New York Jets also Hulk Hogan got
[8:15] his ass
[8:17] boo yes the only thing in retrospect
[8:20] that stands out like is actually insane
[8:22] to me is like it's the fact that there
[8:24] were only four matches in one night like
[8:26] bro for a three-hour show they skated
[8:28] with giving us only four matches and all
[8:31] of them [ __ ] was One V ons we ain't
[8:33] get no tag match we ain't get no new
[8:35] wrestler debut I don't know why I
[8:37] thought we was going to get the women's
[8:38] IC title match that night for some
[8:40] reason but it is what it is even with
[8:41] all that that episode was gas man no pun
[8:47] intended being the chief of content for
[8:49] one of nwa's Premier wrestling
[8:51] territories it's only right that I
[8:53] dedicate a segment to talk about what's
[8:55] going on in a world of Exodus Pro
[8:57] Wrestling on January 18th 20 2025 in
[9:00] Cleveland Ohio at the treelon Music Hall
[9:03] Exodus pro wrestling host their highly
[9:05] anticipated event begin again at 6:05
[9:08] p.m. Eastern and let me tell you there's
[9:11] going to be bangers on this card you
[9:14] have to unchain King Brandon day and
[9:16] towboy facing Caesar Cristiano Argento
[9:20] and a partner of V choosing in the tag
[9:22] team match you got Carson Drake
[9:24] accompanied by Aaron Stevens defending
[9:26] his NWA World television championship
[9:29] against Lord crew no rules to hold back
[9:32] to slime balls when they face man bun
[9:34] Jesus and Sam Beal in a bill room brawl
[9:36] that's not even counting the fact that
[9:38] we got matches from The Amazing
[9:39] competitors like Maya World NWA Exodus
[9:43] tag Champs tme NWA Exodus Women's
[9:46] Champion Tiffany Neves that card going
[9:48] to be stacked the main event for that
[9:50] NWA Midwest Championship features Dante
[9:53] Cova seeking to finally dethrow in the
[9:56] go of Cl pretty boy smooth will we be
[9:59] looking at a new champ at the end of the
[10:00] night or the Purple Rain continue find
[10:03] out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z
[10:06] no I'm just kidding but make sure you
[10:08] pop out if you're in the Cleveland area
[10:10] if you're not in the Cleveland area and
[10:11] want to see this make sure you hit NWA
[10:13] up and let them know you want to see
[10:15] Exodus Pro live on their YouTube channel
[10:17] Exodus did amazing numbers those last
[10:19] two shows so hit them up and ask them to
[10:21] perform a hat trick also just make sure
[10:23] you subscribe to nwa's YouTube in the
[10:25] first place so you can stay up to date
[10:27] on all the current territories leading
[10:28] to charge
[10:32] since 2024 just came to an end and we're
[10:35] here reflecting on the prior year I
[10:36] figured a good segment for this show
[10:38] today would be the spotlight five of the
[10:40] coolest things that happened to me
[10:41] honorable mention sitting near Julia and
[10:44] being on NXT there's really not much
[10:46] substance to this one I was at NXT
[10:48] standing deliver last year and I got to
[10:50] witness Julia and all her greatness when
[10:52] she debuted in the crowd watching roxan
[10:54] Perez versus Lyra valkaria for the NXT
[10:57] Women's title Julia and Regal weing the
[10:59] crowd and the place went Bonkers bro I
[11:02] saw the opportunity to be on WWE camera
[11:04] and I went for it I regret nothing also
[11:07] there was a big ass Knuckles too [ __ ]
[11:09] was lit meeting all these Indie
[11:10] wrestlers WrestleMania weekend
[11:12] kickstarted me going hard with content I
[11:15] made it a mission to connect with all
[11:17] the Indie wrestlers I could and this
[11:19] actually kickstarted me getting my mask
[11:20] signed by Indie wrestlers as well
[11:22] initially I was at WWE world trying to
[11:25] get Finn Balor to sign my mask but by
[11:28] the time I got near the front they cut
[11:29] bro I was stressed to this day meeting
[11:32] Finn is on my bucket list it's got to
[11:34] happen but that Miss meeting allowed me
[11:36] to Pivot and have a better idea of
[11:38] getting Indy wrestlers assign it so I
[11:40] got to meet some really cool wrestlers
[11:42] over the span of this year people like
[11:44] Jada stone dul TOA Mako Zilla Fatu Kylie
[11:50] Ray kashida it was a lot of people I got
[11:53] to meet this year and a lot more I plan
[11:55] on meeting this 2025 leaning into Indie
[11:58] highlight video videos and seeing big
[12:00] names appreciated one of the main things
[12:02] I started doing more consistently was
[12:03] making highlight videos for Indie
[12:05] wrestlers in order for them to get
[12:06] really more push and promotion for their
[12:08] stuff A lot of times I see online all of
[12:11] these people making you know highlight
[12:12] reels for wrestlers who are already
[12:14] known already prominent but what about
[12:16] the ones who are trying to make a name
[12:18] forsel and they need those highlight
[12:19] reels in order to get moving and
[12:20] grooving it's beautiful to be able to
[12:22] get them those videos so that they have
[12:24] content to push the crazier thing about
[12:26] it however is just how much of a network
[12:28] this wrestling industry is I'll give a
[12:30] video to one person and then all of a
[12:32] sudden I'll see somebody like red velvet
[12:34] randomly like this post I've seen Lee
[12:36] Mor Ari like a post that I made I seen
[12:38] darari like a post that I made it was
[12:41] some really cool names out there that
[12:42] was like liking these reals and stuff
[12:44] and I know obviously it's because it's
[12:46] for the wrestler itself but being able
[12:48] to be a part of that and them getting
[12:50] that like and insight like it told me
[12:52] already all right well I'm on the right
[12:53] trajectory and I can stand toe to- Toe
[12:56] with a lot of these creators out here as
[12:57] well and that also leads to my next
[12:59] Point joining Exodus pro wrestling and
[13:01] making content for them one of the
[13:03] coolest things that happened to me in
[13:05] 2024 was being brought on as chief of
[13:07] content for Exodus pro wrestling I'm
[13:09] letting you know now right on wax this
[13:11] don't happen without my dog pretty boy
[13:13] smooth vouching for me PB is my guy and
[13:15] he's forever going to be good in my book
[13:17] for this one bro being able to be
[13:18] vouched for in that capacity and being
[13:20] able to have conversations with people
[13:21] in the industry and they actually
[13:23] respect your Insight and skill set not
[13:25] only is it a breath of fresh air but
[13:27] it's something I would never take take
[13:29] for granted like I've already been able
[13:30] to work on some cool videos for them
[13:32] already but 2025 I plan on going crazy
[13:35] with the content prepare to see that
[13:37] brand everywhere if I got something to
[13:39] say about it if it ain't Exodus it can't
[13:41] stand next to us a couple of my RS being
[13:43] noticed and appreciated by wrestlers all
[13:46] right so I am kind of cheating here
[13:48] since this started in like December of
[13:49] 2023 but it's my show I do what I want
[13:52] [ __ ] you but if you've been following me
[13:53] for a while now you know I've made music
[13:55] for years and one random day I was
[13:57] listening to wrestling music and thought
[13:58] about randomly doing like a quick one
[14:00] minute rap over it for some content
[14:02] purposes the two that actually got heard
[14:04] by their respective wrestlers were my
[14:06] ones over trick William
[14:09] Ste locked in feeling in an option know
[14:11] I won't settle up in the stakes I ain't
[14:14] never been pumping the bra on my foot on
[14:16] the B about it about it they can't live
[14:18] without it ladies flock when I whip
[14:20] about the Bessel look at the wrist and
[14:21] the chain in my waist boy I'm feeling
[14:23] like Rocko I grip metal and the one I
[14:25] did over kmen petravic them I don't give
[14:28] a damn about the opposition lurking
[14:30] I'mma cut a about rest make sure that
[14:31] everybody hurting baby I'm the real deal
[14:34] I am body real skill you looking like a
[14:36] real meal I ask him out but I ain't
[14:38] talking sciss what I'm cutting up boy
[14:39] I'll be on my bill my P Hanzo I be
[14:42] gripping on that real Ste I don't do
[14:44] these that often but I do want to keep
[14:46] doing some sporadically just because and
[14:48] also Shameless plug I have an album
[14:50] coming very very very soon called vonie
[14:52] and the bank inspired by wrestling and I
[14:55] promised you it's going to be G be on
[14:56] the lookout for that lastly an e easily
[14:59] the most important piece of the year was
[15:01] that I finally began doing the work and
[15:03] taking the steps to feel more
[15:04] comfortable in this space and with
[15:05] myself just to peel back the mask a
[15:07] little bit get it see what I did there I
[15:08] did a lot of things that are definitely
[15:10] out of my comfort zone and it felt great
[15:12] from putting myself out there to talk to
[15:14] these Indie wrestlers to feeling
[15:16] comfortable presenting content to
[15:18] Promotions normally I would not be able
[15:20] to do this without feeling absolutely
[15:22] cringe and feeling like an impostor even
[15:24] something as simple as wearing my mask
[15:26] in public I don't think y'all realize
[15:28] the level of worry I had doing that in
[15:30] the first place like I had people I work
[15:32] with people who knew me prior to all of
[15:34] this family a bunch of folks who now
[15:37] have to see me wear this [ __ ] on social
[15:38] media while a lot of people joke about
[15:40] it talking about hey my page is a BDSM
[15:42] type beat I get a lot of support from
[15:45] people too like I'll never forget the
[15:47] time that I actually wore it in a
[15:48] function I was at the DPW show at White
[15:52] Eagle Hall and I was shook to put it on
[15:54] I put it on while I was sitting in my
[15:56] seat and it was this whole wave of
[15:57] anxiety to the point where I had to go
[15:59] take a piss to calm down there were
[16:01] literally like three people between the
[16:03] walk there the piss and then the walk
[16:06] back who complimented me asking me about
[16:08] the mask and everything it was no
[16:09] judgment it was nothing but Vibes love
[16:12] that was the moment I knew I needed to
[16:14] stop being a [ __ ] so going forward if
[16:16] you see a black man with a black mask on
[16:18] in a wrestling event it's a solid chance
[16:20] as me come say hi like let's connect
[16:22] let's get to know each other and if it's
[16:23] not me it's probably somebody who going
[16:25] to line your ass up and I advise you to
[16:27] get the [ __ ] out of there
[16:32] all right so Boom for this episode of
[16:34] vony wave Network I'm electing Joseph
[16:37] Alexander versus Matt macowski for etu
[16:39] dial it up as the Indie match you got to
[16:41] check out the year is 2024 Joseph and
[16:45] Matt they was out there fighting like
[16:46] two badass kids fighting over the N64
[16:48] controller until this [ __ ] Matt got hit
[16:51] with a whole seismic toss like they
[16:53] playing real life Pokemon but Matt
[16:55] macowski ain't no [ __ ] bro look at that
[16:57] seamless grapple transitioned into an
[17:00] arm lock into a rear naked choke my boy
[17:03] was in that [ __ ] moving like an octopus
[17:05] Joseph Alexander just as Shifty though
[17:07] you got to give him his props another
[17:09] Earth slam led to macowski saying [ __ ]
[17:11] no as he started walking outside the
[17:13] ring this [ __ ] keep turtlehead in like
[17:15] a 30-minute drive home from Chipotle I'm
[17:17] in the function confuzzled bro I'm
[17:20] perplexed at this chain of events Matt
