ariel asking matt questions like a therapist 💀💀
Ikr Dude is hooking him like a fish on a barrel 😂😂
BROOOOOOO
Best interviewer
Ariel isn't a girls name? :D
@@andy19820706 you know names like kelly is unisex right: and michael is michelle in french right?
Love Matt Riddle, he is completely honest with his answers, and he accepts responsibility for his actions.
completely honest? you could see it clearly he was lying about why he got busted for drugs. It couldn't be cocaine because its out of your system in 2 days max. It was Juice obviously.
But at the same time.....at the end of the day, he's hurt a lot of people.
How do you know he's honest you don't know him personally.. c'mon man he admitted lying to all his friends and family
Him teaming with RVD is nothing short of perfect
Just cause they both smoke ? That’s lame af.
@@WWESVRPLAYER it's like the stoners in class becoming buddies. Just feels right.
@WWESVRPLAYER Lol, though you would have a backup, huh? Lol
Actually I'd like to see him in a tag team feud with RVD and another wrestler. Would be really funny to see Randy heated in a feud with the other guy while Riddle and RVD wrestle indifferently when it's their turn
@@WWESVRPLAYERhonestly bruh for some reason riddle always reminded me of RVD personality, martial arts background even b4 I knew riddle was also a weed head
This was an absolutely fantastic interview, I hope Matt makes his way back to the WWE at some point, refreshing how honest he is.
Honest? He tried to destroy someone's life by falsely accusing them of sexual assault in an airport
@@BLACULA-Skeewoah falsely?
BROOOOOO hit my music my toes smell soo bad
@@BLACULA-Skeewoahhe could’ve pressed charges and u would know exactly who that employee is
It's goanna take time for him to return to WWE but I'm whiling to support for the long road I've been a fan of matt riddle since 2016 but when he debuted in NXT(2018) (WWE) I was excited. Hopefully He comes back to WWE one day.
I feel high just listening To him speak 😂
Matt bring honest about everything, wish this man well
Yes he's a real class act to his wife and kids.
@@deepblue8143 wydm
@@deepblue8143the new or the old ones?
@@6AlphaMikeCharlie9 exactly..
I gotta admit, I admire people who tell the truth.
You do know he admitted to lying to all his friends and family don't you?
@@6AlphaMikeCharlie9 How can one be expected to improve if their past is constantly mentioned? Is it your belief that people cannot change? It seems you might be clinging to the same mindset you had in childhood. Consider the numerous former addicts who have completely turned their lives around. Strive to be better. Neither of us knows this individual personally, yet you seem to assume superiority because you've never lied. Remember, to err is human. Instead of casting stones, aim to be a better person.
Riddle turning on Randy was a genius idea
It would have been amazing
No it wasn't Randy does the turning. And noone cares enough about riddle
The viper does the betraying not the other way around 😂😂
@@legendkillla21it would be nice if the tables were turned for once
Genius? Literally almost every tag team or faction ends up in a feud. "Genius Booking!" 😂
Riddle ain’t as stupid as people think he is . Hope he just sticks to smoke 💨
I'm fine with him smoking, just take it down a couple of notches 😂
Who thought he was stupid?.......( Dana turns head ) "ME!!!"
Then again, he did just talk about his cocaine usage with the NJPW TV title infront of him. Knowing that Matt Sydal was banned from entering japan for years because of weed of all things and that this interview has made some news back in Japan, we'll just have to see how this one plays out.
@@therealangelalexander1858he didn't say he's still doing coke
no really is
The comment about Sunglass Hut got me 😂
For real
this is an awesome interview. takes guts to sit there and admit your mistakes when you didn’t have to. i really hope he can stay clean.
Riddle really needs a silent bob
😂😂😂😂
Where do I submit application
Sign Eddie Kingston and put him in a trenchcoat.
@@theevilascotcompany9255
😂😂😂
😂
He’s like the wrestling version of Charlie sheen lmao he’s definetly on the tiger blood 😂😂
BROOOO
Charlie sheen can actually string sentences together without using bro every other word even when he’s wasted 😂
@@UFCWWE69 fr my feet smell so bad bro
@@ConorKhabibBrunson lol wtf 😂
@UFCWWE69 he didn't say bro in any sentence bro
More wrestlers please
Great interview! Can't belive it doesn't have more views.
Ariel great interview you are really looking out for him thank you !!
What a genuine dude!! Very humble and very relatable just a cool as dude ..
I enjoyed this interview Matt's honesty is refreshing.
Oh damn CMLL mentioned on the mma hour! I moved from Montreal to la ciudad de mexico and the CMLL crowd is awesome, the shows are amazing!
Chill guy. I hope things get peaceful for him.
Great interview! Very honest!
Thanks Ariel for your Great work you are the best! And you never let anyone push you around this whole time! You're the Man! Congrats on all the great Work!
Loved this interview
I love the honesty from him, he is a downright genuine, good to earth Freewill guy.. free, spirited, rich with love…so mush potential from the Bro… great job Bro👍👍👍
Great interview. Hour fly bye
i have a feeling matt riddle will be back in wwe
Great to hear from Riddle. I miss his character from WWE but watching this I see the why of it all and hopefully someday he could return to TV. At the time of his WWE release I could see him plateau. There’s almost a formula for WWE release besides doing something offensive - it’s being someone who stays low on the card who can’t be worked into interesting stories. Other guys who were fired at the same time shouldn’t come back (Dolph Ziggler, Ali) because I imagine them just failing just as hard. If Riddle returned they’d have to have an amazing idea for a story but he could pull it off for sure.
The oh man I thought I was done I know very well lol. I have a 26yr old daughter and a 17month old beast of a son! Second chance at raising a toddler. I was 21 with my first just starting my career and was gone a lot. Enjoyed the interview
Great interview
This guy is wiser we all give him credit for. Happy he's in a good place now.
Did u watch the same interview??? He’s out of control
If he's not on coke, he's loaded up on Adderall. But I'd say he's still using coke.
Great episode I really enjoyed it
He's baked out lol.
He’s very well spoken and smart, business-wise. Yes, he was irresponsible, but he was going through a rough divorce, false allegations (likely). He deserves more sympathy from fans imo, especially since he took accountability and it really isn’t any of our business. I’m glad it seems like he’s doing better and hopefully an interview like this helps others.
Riddle is very relatable
love him saying raaandy
Oh damn he can speak without a break 😅 love this guy honestly
He's legit the same person as his character & it's great
He's not. He's working
Matt Riddle is almost 40 years old. Just putting that out there.
Great interview !! love matt
I always liked Matt Riddle, so talented !
Riddle is cool bro. Like how hes open and honest.
Matt always seemed like a really kool guy, that can seriously fight lol!!! Great show AH, God Bless guys!!!
Welp Jeff Hardy got 12 chances this man should get a second
I appreciate the honesty from Matt Riddle. Good Interview.
I hope matt riddle does come back to wwe I miss him in wwe.
What a fascinating interview and ever more a fascinating young man. M.R. stay clean you have a bright future...don't give up!
I met Matt a few times prior to his WWE run, at indies in Bristol and Cardiff UK. He was always a really nice guy. So much passion. Reminded me a lot of Chris Hero - but stoned obviously.
Sounds like a part-time WWE contract might make sense for him, a few years down the line. Until then, Matt is absolutely doing the right stuff to propel himself back into a wanted commodity - as he has done so before.
That was an amazing interview. Had me rolling at times 😄
Respect how honest he is
The best Helwani interview of a pro wrestler I’ve seen. Great work.
Great interview I agree 100%
love his honesty !
Could listen to this guy all day, so candid and relatable, hope to see more of him and hoping he returns to MMA one day
A Four man Faction with The Bro Matt Riddle! Randy RKO Orton! Kevin KO Owen's! The Dude Rob Van Dam! Call them R KO Bro Dude 420!!!!
I miss Matt Riddle. "YOU WANT TO HIT MY BONG" I remembered that segment like it was yesterday. I crack laughing every single time😂😂
Thank you.
Gangsta Riddle!🤙
What a great interview. This is one of the best interviews I have watched in awhile
God bless this dude man he’s so misunderstood! What he said about these corporate billion dollar industries was spot on! You are still a massive talent! Best of success to you in business & life Matt!
Gotta love how this dude is an open book and doesn’t hold anything back…most guys wouldn’t own up to doin coke in a strip bar, but good on Matt for being so honest
I think he's still doing coke. I hope he gets clean someday. He seems like a really good guy
@@bigrig4385why do u think that?
@@bigrig4385he's working
You get zero dead air with a Riddle interview lol. I meet the guy once, he was awesome.
Riddle is more intelligent than he's given credit.
Stoners usually are i find
It's the voice that's deceiving
@@dr.loomis4221 Agreed
He is well spoken, i like how he stays in gimmick. This guy is a sharp dude. Very good interview, straight shooter if hes working everyone he is real good.
Really humble guy
I freaking love this guy man. He's 100% unfiltered and genuine. What a smooth mfer 😂
Great interview, so open so honest. Best of luck Matt!
How i admire TRUTH and empirical facts....him making these admissions make me like him a lot more.
we love you matt! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
"The coolest guy in rehab. " love it needs to be a shirt.
I gained a lot of respect for Matt. He was very open and a divorce can't be easy. He also mentioned that his wife was cheating on him while he's out there putting his body on the line. That was tough to hear. 😢
I always used to say that if I felt like the healthiest or coolest guy in rehab, then that’s how you know I’m with a pretty sick group of people. Respect you you Riddle for the interview though !
I hope for the best for him
Took me 11 days to watch this interview and I regret not watching sooner! Good luck Riddle!!!
Matt seems so humble I watched his match in Japan 👍
thx for sharing matt riddle
Great insight
56:56 "had a buddy that worked at AEW "
Yup thats Kevin Kelly. Matt and Kevin are buddies and came up together through the Monster Factory
I think people have been waiting for a lot of answers this interview has provided, and although we shouldn't care so much about his personal life, but it's good to have some clarity at least from his perspective about the things that have been going on with him.
Congrats on your new baby, Riddle! WWE really needs to consider bringing back Bro once he's had his family time. He really seems to have straightened out, but you know, he's a classic wrestler personality with the party attitude. It really plays into his persona. It's really impressive how mature he is about his ex, especially.
He can be controversial, but at least he holds himself accountable, which speaks volumes!! Was wanting Riddle to go to AEW tbh, think he will be a top guy in a few years.. also want to see RVD & Matt team up... good luck BRO
That's always the first step In rehabilitation, least he knows, I wish him luck too
Riddle needs his own reality TV show. Absolute legend.
I was always a fan of Matt Riddle since his wrestling days at Stroudsburg.
This guy has a future in media/podcasting for sure
He was one of the best mid-Card superstar in the wwe and tag team division
We need this bro back!!!
I feel like I have been smoking just watching/listening to Riddle. Can you get a contact high from watching a video? Always enjoyed the dude on UFC.
His day never ends
How you get fired from the UFC and WWE?
That is pretty wild when you think about it 😂😂
Start by getting employed by them.
Well.... Ya ain't wrong
By being hated by dana white and not being good enough at backstage politics.
I was gonna go to work but then I got high (ohh, ohh)
I just got a new promotion but I got high (la da da da da)
Now I'm selling dope and I know why (why man?)
'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
Norm McDonald like, his cadence , norm after a few bong rips of course 😂
Good to see matts still wrestling. Hope he stays sober.
The Coolest Guy in Rehab is crazyyyy 😂
He's actually way smarter than he appears
does anyone know how/where to submit questions to ariel’s show?
Substack I think
nice to see matt here, but, matt should have had the decency to inform rip rogers he couldnt do his interview on rips channel. left them hanging, no word from matt on anything. then shows up doing this interview. thats messed up. not the first time hes done this to ppl no matter how big or small they are.
I like this guy even more
love this guy no different from most men who do not get caught
He wasn't bad in UFC. I think without NC for marijuana a couple times he would have been like 10-3. Kinda late probably to go back to MMA since he is 38.
The only man to beat jon jones
He got the Jon Jones effect after it
Riddle in AEW would be amazing.
No one in AEW would be amazing
I agree. Maybe after some more time on the Indies
A tag team with RVD and Hook?! Imagine that 😂
One big POP then buried with crap booking , just like everyone else .
@Dad-Gad oh you mean like how Naomi is already getting buried in WWE?
Yea boii have a good night everyone!
He speaks like “Spicolli” from fast times at ridgemont high. Hey bud let’s party 🎉
