heyman screwed him and others over claiming he fought for them he lied to alot of ppl
Your interviews Chris are always a bright side of my day and and it always gets me going don't listen to Independent wrestlers that I haven't heard of or hearing from WWE former WWE Superstars or aew wrestlers or impact wrestlers I haven't heard haven't seen that much of in a while so thank you for doing these interviews
can we get another review with jdfromny206 ? keep on the hustle
One of my favorite interviews you've done! Hearing him speak and his ideas, which were great btw, being shot down was sad to hear but yeah, any of that would have been great compared to the spider. I can't imagine the great ideas dropped because whomever was in charge of it was too stupid to pull the trigger on it! And he got to work with the Legend himself, Tom Savini!!!
His cage should always have been the goat mask or some evil enterty calling out too him like the mystic of undertakers urn....
When Erick Redbeard just went through the entirety of his career, it's really brilliant.
Agreed.
I like that he could tie them all together.
Really hope he joins AEW.
This man is one of the very few people that can say he faced The Rock at Wrestlemania infront of 102,000 people
"He's happy."
You can tell by his tone of voice that Brodie was miserable for a while, and he knows that he is finally in a good place.
You can really tell how happy he is for Brodie when he said that. I watched that a few times back like "awwww". It's nice Rowan now has that same opportunity.
yup
@@ChurchOfTUPAC rite
I hope he is happy but let's be real. Harper said several times that he believes he will be wwe champion so obviously he is not happy at how his career went. He can now do the same exact things he did in wwe in aew but wear a suit and people will pretend its better. He's just in a smaller pond where there is no roman reigns or randy orton to compete against. He is now competing against ambrose and cody, the same people he was trading wins and losses with on raw

I hope Erick is signed with AEW. would love to see him more. His Tribute tonight to Brodie Lee was heartbreaking #ripbrodielee
Goodbye brother, see you down the road
Indeed very touching
Hearing Erick's "He's happy," with that Big Ol' Grin when taking about Brodie/Jon Huber really hits different after learning of Brodie Lee's death. The man was loved. RIP Brodie. Would've loved to see a CVV interview with him. Gone too soon.🙍🏾♀️
What's sad is. He has talked more in the interview than he has his entire career
Yup.
Yup Do you remember the YUp moment? I did.
When his was with Daniel Bryan he was doing great then they moved him to RAW and RAW has no creative.
why is it sad? It is an interview. Of course he is going to talk a bunch.
@@chadfungus Could you imagine Harper in that spot with Bryan? Missed opportunities.
To his defence: No individual on this earth could make the spider work.
R Truth
I mean if he's not arachnophobic then they could've used a tarantula but well we got what we got
@@CeemPlay a comedy jobber? I think you just reinforced his point.
That's what killed me he said they had it made but when it made it to TV it looked like a cheap Halloween store prop the ones that you step on the little thing and the spider jumps out
@@Dave_ja_vu Tell me who will have the more Hall of Fame career, Erick or Truth
Very underutilized talent. Hell of a talker. Eric sounds alot like a mixture of Kane and The Undertaker. Chris you stay killing these interviews. Hope Eric gets sign somewhere where he can be used to his highest potential
It was obvious from the start, the only person who will be staying in WWE from the Wyatt family is bray. That's why they broke brain strawman away early.
Eric rowan could fit in as the fourth member of the 4 horseman as the muscle guy just like Lex luger
He'll be back at WWE after Cv19
@@mattuk56 Braun also it wasnt obvious tho,but his career been going well he won universal champion at mania
FreshNews247 highly doubt it
"That was the rock's last match!"
*"yeah... im sorry."* LOL
Guy freaking RETIRED The Rock
@@Mr_Leo_DS Legend
The fear gimmick actually sounds badass. Damn WWE and VKM
A cucumber for the Undertaker
And Bray Wyatt is now playing that Gimmick
wwe will be better once VKM steps down as Chairman .. and this might never happen :( remember Freddie Blassie was still having segments in a wheelchair .. will be the same with Vince
*😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂* @@jfranck7252
If it happened everyone would have just shit on it for being a ripoff of IT anyway
This Man deserves more.
Here after he showed up on dynamite for Brodie's tribute show. Could not have been a more meaningful/impactful debut. Coming to aid of the group his other half lead.
You literally couldn't ask for a more meaningful debut, as I'm not sure it would even be possible.
It almost takes away from Sting's debut, as he's still effectively done nothing since showing up.
So basically Rowan's whole career was a Kingdom Hearts plot. Just looking for a friend.
you win
He seems like a genuinely nice dude.
He does. Definitely has a gentle giant vibe.
Watching this after Brodie's passing, and the "He's happy" with a grin on his face... feels man.
Hearing his ideas of what should be in the cage just shows why talent should be in control or have some say over the direction of their character. The tiny woman would’ve gave so many more layers to the Rowan character and then the I.T concept would’ve been a brilliant secondary idea.
That could be sooo good. I love the character development of that pitch
Agreed Vince is out of touch with the fans and the product
Not really talent should never be in control. But they should be able to work with the writers. Look at aew alot of those guys could use some help.
@@mariomorales786 really wish for a better wrestling in general I stopped watching wwe cause it was just to ehh you know
@@johntorres532 that's true
30:40 this hits hard :( rip brodie lee
Chris: "So Erick, how did Bray Wyatt come up with The Fiend gimmick?"
Erick: "Well, you see...I just so happened to have this creepy clown mask in the trunk of my car..."
😂😂😂😳
Honestly, I don't know if he meant that he was about to come up with The Fiend character, I mean if it was only happened to had the mask in that trunk if he'd never came up with something I see no wrong with Bray he made something out of it despite I didn't liked it...
Rowan always wears the best shirts
Interviewer: So what do you think of Brodie in Aew?
Eric: he's happy. 🥺🥺
God rest Brodies soul we lost a truly amazing man, husband and a father.
The Dark Order is always Recruiting!. 🙋🏻♂️
WWE copied the dark order on the thunderdink show
i would rather see him in njpw honestly, they need more big dudes.
@@megaflux7144 agreed
👁🖐
@@mattuk56 dark order is good but it's like a softer version of the Ministry of Darkness.
At the29:30 mark is when he starts talking about Brody
ty
@@michaelwoods3141 yw
Thanks 😂
Hero!
Thanks
Dude that idea of a wrestler who bring the fears of his opponent to life and that opponent needs to overcome his fears to beat Rowan was pretty good. A match with the ring surrounded by frogs or crickets maybe snakes or any kind of insect maybe rats or a ring in the middle of a pool where there's phiranas or sharks dude that borrows it self to be epic
18:51 “I was told that wouldn’t work, the Viking gimmick.”
Viking Raiders: 👀
The fact that your eyes are looking at the "Viking Raiders" text makes it that much funnier.
Also, his “Face your Fear” pitch he talks about would be money
Exactly what i thought!!
Erick Redbeard is a brilliant creative mind. All those ideas should've been greenlighted. I hope wherever he goes will allow his creativity to run rampant.
Erick Redbeard as a face in AEW, former member of the Dark Order who escaped. After the Dark Order becomes the biggest threat in AEW, capturing all the gold, Erick comes in to take down Brodie Lee.
Hell no. I hope he goes somewhere else.
@@masteratt yeah I like your bad guy ending idea better. Would be sick to see Erick join the Dark Order and see him get hazed by his old friend before joining...almost forcibly.
After 6 months from this comment, it looks like Dark Order have become the main face stable of the company (after Brodie's death) and the Elite are the heel ones
It was nice to actually hear Rowan’s voice. I loved his work in WWE but like it was a shame we never really got to hear him do a Promo. I really hope he keeps the Beard and finds his place in Wrestling again. Would love to see him back in WWE as a top guy. The man is worthy if you ask me. Thank you for the posting this interview. #bringbacktheredbeard
I really really really hope AEW signs Erick after the realest, most genuine, saddest and heartfelt moments and debut of all time. Put him in the Dark Order or just let him be him. He deserves it, AEW could use him and after Wednesday what fan wouldn't want him in the family.
Hope Joe finds a promotion that lets him show what he can do. I went to high school with him and, while my interactions with him were sporadic, he was always a friendly, polite guy.
Never met him but he's from Minnesota of course he's nice.
He's such a polite guy!
i would listen to the man with the red beard talking all day
Wow, that pitch with the little woman was great.
Clearly went over the head of the "creatives".
Erick’s storyline idea sounds really good. He should write the script and sell it to Netflix. I’m not a horror guy but I’d watch.
Wwe probably just wanted to kill any steam he had before releasing him in case he joined Brody
That wouldn't surprise me at all, vince is vindictive like that
@@RollerCodsterWFEW yup petty vince.
I hope he’s the next member of the Dark Order. He sounds like a smart guy with good ideas.
I don't. It seems like he wants to do something on his own. I'd rather see him as a leader than a follower. He's got such a great mind.
I’m thinking more like a kane and undertaker angle. Two monsters going at it and have a background story
Justin Lalko that’s a good idea
Imagine the facing your fear Rowan vs The Fiend!
Yep. If WWE would take the time to listen to great minds like Joseph's instead of hiding so much behind writers the company would be a lot more entertaining. As it is now, I often feel like I have to dumb myself down to watch it.
Awesome interview Chris!! Much respect for Erick, such a multilayered gentle giant !
I've had the pleasure of meeting Erick in passing around town a couple years ago and while we never really talked because I wanted to be respectful of his free time, it always made me smile to see him.
I was never a huge Erik Rowan guy but after this shoot I like him and I wanna see more from him
Yeahh I see this from the same ankel. He got definitley more potential as he could showen. I mean he is big, strong, on his own way interesting (as his Erik Rowan Ch.) but unhappily he plays a not realy deep person, wich worked as a dump ass bully
This was a really great interview. Thank you.
An absolute hidden genius, he deserves a fair shot in his next role, wherever it may be!
I've always liked his work in the squared circle and I look forward to seeing him back in action.
Also, THANK YOU, Chris! This was a very excellent interview 👍
RIP brodie so happy to see u on AEW tonight's tribute to brodie show
Can’t sleep but fortunately this came up on my feed 😁
What a GREAT interview... Rowan is coming across as calm and conent wih life.
It’s a shame that wwe let him go he was a unique individual good luck Erick!!!
This was a great interview that really shows Erick Redbeard's creativity, I could see him fitting into Impact Wrestling, I hope some company picks him up again soon.
Impact Wrestling, or AEW would be awesome
Despite Lee/Harper being in AEW, I hope for a Wyatt Family reunion someday. One of the best stables I’ve seen in WWE.
oh no
Chris, you're ability to really listen and sincerely care about what the wrestlers are saying makes you a great interviewer. You make it about the other person and not yourself.
Rowan's idea for the cage is AMAZING!
With creativity like that, I'm sure he'll do great things in the future. I'd love to see him in NJPW at some point. He could fill the Lance Archer sized Gaijin spot for sure.
Awesome interview, I miss him wrestling. Cant wait to see him in a ring again!!
Upon seeing the length of this video, I thought id watch it in parts over a day or so but you both had such a goid interview, I watched it in one go.
This is one of my favorite interviews you've done Chris! Wish Rowan nothing but the best going forward for sure.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
@@ChrisVanVliet Man it's obvious you put everything into your content & It shows! I certainly appreciate the time & effort you dedicate to your craft.
Amazing interview!!!!
This was certainly another entertaining interview to watch. What appears to be a massive and intimidating beast, ends up being a very cool, very mellow, down-to-earth guy with an awesome red beard. It's great to hear after being let go that he's getting to spend a lot more time with his family. I miss Erick and if not given a better opportunity in the future with WWE, I hope to see him in either AEW or Impact
Really great interview
Hope to see Redbeard on AEW at some point personally! Definitelty doesn't need to be linked to Brodie or The Dark Order! Would love to see him show off what he can do on his own with more creative freedom.
Awesome interview 🤘
Great chat with Erick Rowan/Redbeard, was always interested with his character specially when he and Luke had singles run back in 2014. Too bad he wasn't given much freedom with his plans for his character and hope we'll still get to see him back in the ring. Thank you Chris Van Vliet, hope you'll get an interview with Bray or Brodie 😁
Really happy to see that he is doing so well. There is beginning to be a common theme to wrestlers being released or quitting WWE becoming much happier after they leave.
Hi Chris, thank you for this. I love him very much and I'm happy he's doing well!! :)
I remember WWEs first ever house show in Norway in may 2018 (I think it was), Rowan got the biggest reaction of the night. His tag team partner Daniel Bryan clearly loved it and gave him the time to shine. That was legit the only part of the show that didn't feel like it was scripted or on auto pilot.
wow he’s brilliant. amazing interview.
What a great Interview. I never expected this man to be such a low key all around nice human being. Also I can't figure out why it was a shock to me that he's married & has kids. It shows you that you can't be so one sided, simple minded in life.Thank-You, so much for telling us who you really are. I wish you much success in future endeavors, hope to see you in something soon.
Good new name.Eric Red Beard! I hope he reads these comments and knows how much we all like him. He has a great look and tall and just a monster. He will go far. All he needs is a chance to show his potential. Damn you wwe. You guys always drop the ball with the good talent. You push who you want not who's over.
WYATT = *THE FIEND*
STROWMAN = *THE MONSTER*
HARPER = *THE EXALTED ONE*
ROWAN = *???*
Roman the over used one
The bearded one
Juan Sanchez
Because the other men don’t have beards 😂
Upside down Sheamus
The Evil Genius would be my favorite
Great interview always great chris 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ok full version this what I was looking for
And here it is!
Erick pitched a lot of ideas here that I would have loved to see. I hope he ends up in a role where he can have a lot of input on his creative.
most of the guys WWE have buried (even going back to the Attitude Era) were actually very smart.
@@SpeedChamp467 The idea of burying someone is beyond me. Somehow, we are supposed to get invested in the new guys when the guys we already are investing in go from winning every match to losing every match overnight.
Vince thinks that we tune in for his brand and not the wrestlers. He is so wrong that I tuned out.
@@charlesroman9163 yeah Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins are the best examples of guys who actually became more popular right when WWE was trying to bury them. It's proof that the WWE can't bury true talent and wrestlers that are really over with the fans.
I see Rowan being quite a valuable ideas man for tv and film.
He's so creative oml!!!
I like seeing the happiness on his face
such respect for Erik! What a professional
He sounds like such a mild mannered, nice guy. I hope he does well where ever he ends up.
Erick Redbeard listens to Metal of all types and Colter Wall. I am now a full on fan of this man.
I hope to see you in a.e.w. it really looks like the guys are having fun there. Its refreshing to watch.
Chris.. man, you really are the best interviewer in the world.. you've honed your skills! And I thoroughly enjoyed this particular interview!! Erick may not know it, but he has many many fans, myself included!
New Japan needs to contact this man ASAP. I’d love to see him having big hoss matches out there
Met Eric Rowan at a WWE live show...he had just gotten into it with with Jinder Mahal and Jinder accidentally tore a piece of his beard then Rowan grabs at his shreds of beard an proceeds to give me a handful of beard and I tell him ,"That was fuckin Metal!" then he gives me the metal horns🤘and gets back in the ring
Haven't watched WWE since last October. But I'm definitely looking forward to this one! Eric Rowan will definitely find a wrestling company to succeed in.
Great interview! Rowan is super cool.
another killer interview as always. really like the vague goals get vague results sign as well lmao
Don't tell anyone that I ran out of G's and the G in the second "vague" is actually a 6
Great interview
Hes a pretty awesome guy. Pretty humble and cool. Looking forward to seeing what he does in the future.
Great job Chris!
Erick is such great guy loved it
I like how the people that WWE barely let talk are the most well spoken and articulate.
His momentun may have fell after the spider die but one of his last matches with Aleister was freaking awesome. Best of the luck in your carrer Big Red ill miss you :,c
Really loved his "Sheep Herder" theme music back when he was at the E. Such a badass and frightful theme.
i really hope he will make his way to AEW. such a talented wrestler with great creative ideas! i would love to see a real storyline for Eric Redbeard.
also thank you Chris Van Vliet for all those great interviews and thanks for trying to get Eric Redbeard into AEW with you „indirect“ allusions.
keep it going Chris, i really like your interviews!
Erick should work in creative for a wrestling company. He has very good ideas, especially if they're horror themed
great interview great talker is Eric Redbeard keep up the good work Chris love from Bangladesh
Been a fan of his since the Wyatt family first showed up and always thought he was the most itneresting member of the group. Tremendously underrated talent. While everyone was clamoring for Harper to break away and get spotlight, I was rooting for Rowan and thought he actually outshone Luke on the mic and as a convincing character. Very creative mind that was, as are many, stifled by "creative". The idea of the fears in the box is genius. Seems like a good dude and I'll be curious to see where he goes from here. Great interview.
Great interview as always Chris, im kinda glad you didn't ask him about that stairs match lol
So much potential
His idea of the fears would be so cool. It would be like having Batman's Scarecrow on a wrestling setting.
This guy should of been talking more so respectful so well spoken the potential he could of had is kinda just sad
Erick Rowan 🔥
That guy would be a great addition to The Dark Order. Eric Rowan would be good to
Who?
Who?
Woo!
Think of the BTE skits with those 2 in the room with the dark order
@@darkoshadowfury Chris
I want to do interviews with bands I and I love your skills I watch your videos of all the time for what to do during an interview and how to keep the interview going! Great job as always Chris!
You’ve got this man! Do it up! 🤘
