Love It ChrisVanVliet Bro.
melo doesn’t miss in the ring and chris doesn’t miss with these interviews 🔥
The humble confidence of Melo is unmatched
Never thought I would see HIM with Chris, THIS IS AWESOME🐐🐐
Clap clap clap clap clap
I am falling behind with how many great guests you keep having. Thank you for your videos Chris.
Dude, you're killing it with the guests! Love Melo.
Can’t lie, not much a regular NXT viewer, but anyone Chris interviews I immediately become a fan of because of how he brings the best out of them. CVV, another winner! Looking forward to the next ones to come as always. Will definitely be tuning in Tuesdays going forward to see this man, got a bright future 🤜🏼🤜🏼
I like watching NXT to see what the future is gonna look like. It’s super cool watching these youngsters grow and evolve.
I cant wait to see where Carmello Hayes, Austin Theory, Bron Breakerr, Dominik Mysterio, Trick Williams, Dakota Kai, Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill, Roxanne Perez, Rhea Ripley, Ilja Dragunov, Solo Sikoa, & Liv Morgan's career's go in the future!!!
Carmelo getting beat like a drum in NXT War Games 2021 sold me on him, utter professional and pure athlete to last that long
Carmelo is gonna be big on the main roster he’s a certified hall of famer for sure. He just put on yet another banger match with Dragunov, Melo truly doesn’t miss man super bright future ahead of em.
Agreed.
CVV about the only channel I leave the notification on for !
Another great one in the books
Appreciate you!
Melo He Doesn't Miss & Another Great Interview Chris💯👍
@ChrisVanVliet - another great interview/conversation with "HIM" Carmelo Hayes . . . As he continues to excel in the business, I see Part 2, 3 and 4 interviews like this. It was great . . . Hopefully, one day I can meet you and shake your hand for what you're doing in this business that we all love . . . Wrestling!!!!!!
Watch Carmelo Hayes the future of WWE Wrestling WWE NXT 😊
Seeing Christian Casanova turn into Carmelo Hayes has been stellar
Melo interview dub 🔥
MELO IS THAT GUY FR🗣🔥🔥
HIMELO HAYES ‼️
This was so good Chris and Melo is awesome, but damn why did he have to attack Trick 😢
Although they won't get brought up because of nxt not being as big I really think both matches especially the first one with melo and ilja are match of the year candidates and can't wait for the trilogy at Halloween havoc tonight
Chris with yet ANOTHER BANGER!
Future Goat!!! Carmelo got the hood into wrestling!
Melo really is the future of WWE 💪🏼💯.
and now he is on SmackDown🙌
really loved this conversation!
Great interview, CVV!
He has a great head on his shoulders. Very mentally precise and strong
It's finally time for CVV interview HIM
Melo is so good everywhere. Definitely is the future. He kinda reminds me of M.V.P. type of vibes. Melo does need a different finisher tho.
This interview was unreal man
Been waiting on this !!
I'm a big fan of this man. An incredible in-ring talent, the future is bright for Melo
HIM! Melo is such a great representative for the Next Generation
Love Melo such a great guy. Bron Breakker would be very cool in the future Chris. Big Hugs from Germany and thank you for your awesome work.😊
I pretty much grew up watching Melo in the independent circuit & seeing him now on a bigger platform very deserving. 👏🏻 I'll never forget the early Casanova days with him dressing up as Michael Jackson 😂 He is HIM! 🙏🏻
When I was 12 or 13 back in the attitude era I didn't always have cable so I watch WWF SmackDown! I got cable later on I started watching RAW
Finally! You acknowledge HBK as the GOAT, Chris. I've been waiting for that. It's about time. Practically everyone you interview mentions HBK as one of, if not their favorite. It's about time you got on board. I know you're a big Rock and Hogan fan.
Lolwut. Dynamite Kid & Shawn Michaels are widely regarded as the two greatest pro rasslers of all time.
MELO IS THE FUTURE OF WWE HE IS THE FUTURE OF THE BUSINESS MR NXT MR WRESTLEMANIA HE IS HIM
Melo and Trick gonna main event the WrestleMania NXT PPV, and its gonna be lit
I still have some choice raw tapings on v.c.r tape from back in the day and don't even have or know any one with a vcr to watch them on ,pretty sure though most of those matches I can find on utube or other spots on the good old web/ net
Hopefully down the line we can get a Melo vs Cody Rhodes match
Brutha…
Thank you thank you thank you both that was refreshing kick ass as allways Chris the phenom of the interview world and Carmella the solid realistic futer of the bizz what a tottal treat you have both provided for us weee humble fans so once again thank you p.s. Chris we are all thankfully for you're love and dedication to each and every interview you've done you could as they use to say fair could wrestle a broom stick and get it over iam fairly certain you could interview the broom stick after the flair match and make said broom stick interesting ,and that in no way means Mr. Hayes is a broom stick quit the opposite really makes me happy as all happy can be that Carmella is in the n.x.t and will someday blossom into the main show the futer looks bright indeed with Carmella Hayes in the lineup
Just an idea chris but is there any way you could interview Mark Brisco I know it's a selfish request but I tottaly feel youde knock it outa the park and that folks would dig it any way keep being you and kicking ass like you do
Melo is him he’s literally just awesome in the ring no doubt 😎
W Him
I've said this in the beginning. Him and trick are the future of wwe. How about getting chase U on the show?
In my head, we go together
Good interview and all, but why did he attack Trick?!
I asked him 🤷🏻♂️
Melo 🎯
When I first saw Melo, I thought...ah, he's one of those people that want to use wwe to go to Hollywood. And then I was like, but he's really talented, how can he not love this business. Only to find out that I was wrong. He's a fan of this since he was a kid just like me. I'm rooting for him. But he's definitely better as a heel.
Mr. Mr. Him ⚡
Chris we want a interview with Roman Reigns ..🤍
Hopefully between now and Mania 40. It has to happen during this reign
Yes Please I Agree!!! We The Ones!!!
@@MJHDRi agreed 👍🏼
I like him. I agree with the title. The thing that sucks is he is +IF+ they decide he is. If they don't think he's a "needle mover" or if he doesn't "sell merch" then he won't be, even though he's ridiculously talented. The "business" of pro wrestling is truly awful in these situations.
….?
Chris I hope you can bring Cornette or Jim Ross soon!

Melo you better have NOT HURT TRICK
Melo don’t let them change your music I will deadass cry
Nah fax
Melo turns heel on his former friend Trick Williams at NXT Vengeance Day.
HIM!
I genuinely don't understand these young guys not wanting to be compared to legends of the past. You don't just create a new style... new styles are the product of your interpretation of your influences. These guys acting like they their own ppl never get to the big time for a reason. LA Night has been compared to the greats, and ppl still love him, and he is actually making shit happen. GEEEEEEE I wonder why???????????????????????????
CVV is on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙏🙏
CVV IS HIM
Bad blood st luis first hell and a cell H..b.k vs undertaker the bumps the falls the facial expression,s the selling the hole ball of wax even the end were kane comes in all brutally beuitiful
I really do not see what makes him any different than nathan frazier, mustafa ali, cedric alexander or anyone of that level tbh.
He’s immensely over with the young black demo. This matters to them. He’s also pretty big into fashion
@marcbasil why? Why is he over with the young black demo and swerve strickland wasnt? Fashion? Hes a dork
@@thehater6189 🤷🏻♂️ he’s a LOT better looking than Strickland. He’s a pretty boy, young black kids think he’s dreamy & like his fashion sense. He’s over, whether we like it or not. Strickland wasn’t over. It was indeed very awkward seeing Undertaker put him over, both for undertaker & the audience, but they’re clearly investing heavily into their next “four pillars” of the Fed: Steiners kid, CArmelo, Dragunov, & Von Wagner. Pritchard & the company brass control NXT now, and so when you see them pushing someone there, it means that it’s coming down from upstairs. It’s no longer this rogue tertiary promotion that it devolved into; it’s legitimately their developmental program
@marcbasil i mean i enjoy carmelo because he seldom botches and is decent on the mic but i just dont see it with any of the guys u mentioned except for bron. And im certainly not one to judge because quite frankly i cant pinpoint it as well as a girl or maybe a gay dude but I certainly do not think carmelo is a pretty boy in any way. Pretty deadly are pretty boys, nathan frazer as well, dolph ziggler etc. I do agree with the taker thing and I am happy that carmelo is probably getting a push. I just am skeptical and can totally see him being the next cedric alexander or tommaso ciampa
@@marcbasil i do like him tbh. I also like cedric alexander and even swerve to an extent. I never understood why cedric is a jobber while seth rollins gets infinite opportunities
First
🥇
The guy can bill himself as 5'10" but that top rope makes it obvious he is under 5'6". The guy is comically tiny.
He's not gonna be nothing more than a midcarder on the main roster. He's too small
That isn’t how they view him tho; they had the freaking undertaker put him over. There are several reasons why: he’s immensely over with the black demo, especially young ppl. He’s also a handsome/good looking dude, and has a very marketable face; he’s easy on the eyes. He’s also a freaky athlete. These things count sometimes more than size
You can be small and be a world champ material. Look at Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) he weighs 210 pounds and he was able to win the world championship at Wrestlemania. Rey Mysterio was the same thing too, he’s small as hell, and won the championship at Wrestlemania 2006.
Now I’m not saying him (no pun intended) being a midcarder is a bad thing, but let Melo start off as a mid-carder first, and then when the time is right, he could move up to the next step, and then be in the world champion picture.
Him 🫡
Great NXT career for Melo doing big things
Definitely a professional
See this is why NXT is better than aew! These young talent respect and take that advice! It shows actual respect for what the legends have done! They are not ungrateful dipshits like in aew!
if he joins the main roaster while vince is still alive it's joever for him
Vince isnt part of the creative
@@TreyMessiah95 I hope so
@@Swift_Jrbased upon what…? Mac mahon jr is always trying to corral the black demo. Hayes is over with that demo
@@marcbasil ever heard of Apollo crews, Titus, or anyone that isn’t the Rock? 🤣
@@Swift_Jr uhhh, yeah, and none of those stiffs were even close to being as over with the ‘hood as Melo is. He is legit over with young black kids, and he is big into fashion as well. They take all of this into consideration.
If that's the future of WWE then it's going to be a trash future
Why do you say that?
Unnecessary chatting…. Don’t disrespect the A Champ
