    Chris.
    You are the best interviewer I've ever seen. You don't just sit there silently when you disagree, but you constructively object in a way that doesn't derail the interview & stay silent when you strongly disagree.
    You are an absolute credit to media. AEW are lucky to have you!

      @nathanmoulson7552 Pƙed 3 lety +17

      Domenic Sinni your probably right, there was something going on behind the scenes the we didn’t know about and it certainly made that an infamous moment, but it’s the equivalent to a broadway actor breaking the fourth wall in the final act and saying ‘just so you know I’m not actually a loser, it’s just the character I’m playing’ or some shit, that actor would NEVER be hired again anywhere..

    • @domenicsinni8572
      @domenicsinni8572 Pƙed 3 lety +6

      Nathan Moulson wrestling is not the same as acting in a movie, for a few reasons, one of them is because the director can always reshoot a scene if it isn’t done well enough or if an actor does something that isn’t in the script. Wrestling isn’t a thing that can be redone. It’s a live, moment by moment thing, and by him doing what he did, it got him genuine heat, which as a heel you want, and he got so many people who don’t watch or even know the product to come look, which is a great thing in and of itself

    • @nathanmoulson7552
      @nathanmoulson7552 Pƙed 3 lety +18

      Domenic Sinni you’re right it’s not like Tv or Film. But I actually compared it to Broadway, which is live theatre. And by all accounts theatre is the closest thing to Wrestling there can be. There “fourth wall” is the same as “kayfabe” and YOU NEVER BREAK KAYFABE, unless it is either completely planned from a directorial standpoint, or a rogue actor proving his unprofessional conduct.
      So I agree with you in the sense that it caused a huge amount of hype and probably brought more eyes to the game, but not because of the wrestling, because of the breaking of the laws of wrestling’s

      So you didn't listen to anything in the interview got it..they can fuck over a world champ on short notice without even telling him let alone keep him in the loop..oh yeah the guys that the 12 away from his match were doing what exactly?? Did they robin hood those minutes and take it away from the big bad guy whose size is constantly getting ragged on and think that somehow shows they are better and for some reason they are way bigger but if anything just shows how much better he is than them because if he's this much better at his size and you can't come CLOOOOOOSSSEEE to his ability..so imagine if he was your size?? He bullying you at a foot shorter?? What would he do if he was only 6 inches shorter?? 2 inches shorter?? Same size?? Oh fuck just two inches taller?? If he's taking your lunch at a foot shorter he's fucking your wife and two inches shorter..same size?? Lol..2 inches bigger?? Hes fucking YOU if he so wants to lol..call him a homophobe then when you are seconding him to the ring in a wedding dress like Chelsea green..oh and back to the point. Were they putting the bully in his place by robinhooding that time they stole from him?? Take from the wealth(of ability and stardom he has somehow robbed from someone else?? You Robinhood and then donate the time to those less fortunate?? No?? What did they do with it?? Give it to make-a-wish?? Oh no they selfishly took something that wasn't theirs and showed your bosses up by thumbing your nose that they do what they want and fuck everything and everyone else
      .they are the only ones who matter?? That's not going in to business for yourself but the guy who DID have the juice And belt and reason and ability to pretty much hold up the company and extort them for more money like warrior and Jarrett or just fuck them over and not show up and ruin everything after the bullshit they pulled with him by not including him in decision and springing it on him last minute without a warning but chose to use HIS albeit not ALL of the time he was deserved and was promised but instead went out there was a company man and any supervisor that didn't have a hard on for losers and could recognize talent could have used the example of him going out there and dropping it like a professional and put the business above All else and tell everyone in the locker room that is what a REAL CHAMPION and MAN does..the right thing for people who don't deserve it and if the world champ can do it then if anyone ever pulls the bullshit - that amateur..that bush league bullshit they will not make it to the pinfall before I march out there and immediately stop the match because from that moment you did that shit you were no longer an employee and give you your walking papers and not leave my eyesight until you are off the property where I will from there immediately go back to the ring and tell them what just happened and why and that if you fans in the building or watching on TV ever want to see those ex-employees that you better not hope to see them in that ring this channel or this company ever again and if that costs us fans I'm sorry And wish you would understand why and tell them the EXACT REASON why and that it sucks to lose some fans now but nobody for this company locker room or stadium or TV channel is worth losing even more fans for because maybe next time the bullshit they pull will be worse and no reason to think they wouldn't ever do it again if they feel emboldened by not receiving consequences for their actions and then later..there will be a "leak" about how appreciative they were for the real professional that put those fans and wrestling business first..so who was the one in business for themselves again??

    Aries isnt wrong, in a wrestling match you and your opponent are sharing a ring and sharing the moment, he has always had a great heel persona, this interview shows he is a student of the game, he is gonna make whatever company he goes to work with backstage a ton of money. He also gets that the only bad press is if they spell your name wrong.....
