If you are a fan of wrestling. Wow, the WWE Elimination Chamber, it is happening in Perth. Yeah, right here in Australia on feb twenty four. Tickets you can buy them from Ticketmaster. I know people are flying in from all over the world. A lot of the East Coast heading over to the West Coast to watch the wrestling in Perth. It's quite the deal. La Knight and Grayson Waller. Wow, big names. Let's bring him in everyone well a fellows, Wow, oh men, mountains, take a seat, take a seat.
There's some energy here.
It's nice now, Grayson, you're a Sydney guy, Australian ousy Ossie, I'm a base doown boy. You're so real local, you real local. How did you start? How did you? Were you always wrestling with the mates at school or were you in a wrestling team or is this something you discovered later in life.
So I was always a big wrestling fan growing up, watching it. But the scene here you can't really make a mouth money. So I was actually a high school teacher and was wrestling on the side on the Australian scene type of thing until the right people saw me and picked me up.
And I was a high school history teacher.
Shit really and then secretly on the weekends, you know, I was wrestling, turn up with a black eye.
Monday and then try and explain that to the kids and how the teachers. What year did you teach? I was so anywhere seven or twelve? Wow?
Wow?
Is it great coming back home. You've got all these sort of you know, this thrilling career. Is it better than being a teacher.
It's definitely different. It's a lot of fun, more rewarding because it's my passion. This is what I always I love teaching, but this has always been the dream. But for Australians it's hard to see getting to WWE. There weren't really Australians in WWE, but now we're knocking down that door and making that happen. So I was cool coming back and kind of seeing everyone and you know, getting introduced later.
This is all about you. I'm just going to hang out over here.
There's a lot going on for you. How did you start? Were you always into wrestling or did you have a job previously? L a night?
I mean you kind of have to look.
I I've been intorestling suf as a kid, but as far as me actually like starting and doing this, I started at a place in Cincinnati, Ohio, back in two thousand and three. I worked every odd job you can think of to just kind of support the habit.
On the way, I should thank you too for you high ends for getting Trump back on the.
Oh boys, don't congratulate me for that. I had nothing to do. I don't live in Ohio.
So so anyway, I started at Ohio, moved myself to LA, back to Ohio, back to LA. Ended up signing with NXT when I was WB, when I was ten years deep in the business, and uh, yeah, we kind of it's been a rocky road, but here we are.
Wow, you guys love it. You'd never give it up.
No, this is the best job in the world, hands down, you know.
Because you can do this right up. And like there's some of the oldies that are still out doing promos, still learn and cash. It's a latt long you know.
We've had a few of the guys we've been around for a while coming back recently too. And yeah, they take care of their bodies and they can still come out and entertaining.
Is it hard you guys that doesn't seem easy.
No, it's not.
And and so that's something you got to keep up with all the time, keeping in the gym, but also it's not just keeping in the gym, but also got to see a massage therapist. You got to take care of your body. You got to see chiropractor, you got to make sure you're stretching plenty because all this stuff can. I've seen guys break legs, break next, I've seen tear muscles. I mean, I just got stitches a couple of weeks ago. It's still healing up here in the in the ring. Yeah yeah, yeah, so so, I mean the stuff happens all the time. So I mean you have to really be on top of just body maintenance and stuff like that.
Is there is there a cheap way like can you roid it up? Or is that it's the Olympics.
I wish that would yeah, because that would actually make recover easy. But you know it's, uh, every month we get we get tested every single month.
Yeah, and we wear about it as much as well.
So, yeah, are you not single or what's the go here? What's the stat status of both of you? L A night first? Are single?
I have a girlfriend, but I sing maritally single, legally I suppose, but yeah, but I have a girlfriends that.
Mean what it means that I'm not like, I'm not married, but I have a girlfriend that I living with.
So yeah, you like exclusive or you've got an understanding?
Yeah, I'm too deep? All right? Are you? Why what are you doing? Later?
I was telling you about like Jackie was going, la Jackie is low.
Because he's talking like that, We're gonna have a d I gotta fight to catch at four thirty though.
We got to be quick.
She's quick. She's wambing thinking man perfect Grayson, what about you? Yourself? Married? Single? I'm singing sexual? What's going on?
I'm seeing a girl the moment.
It's it's it's a tough life.
We're on the road so much type of thing. So sometimes it's nice to come home and have have someone there that you kind of can chat to and all.
Somebody always someone rounded so you get home.
And especially someone not in wrestling, because that's that is that, Hey, you can't be with the wrestler.
It never ends well, well, you know, you.
Got to be messed up to do what we do. Yeah, and if you're a girl and like to get beat up pretty sure, like to get beat up in the ring. You're really messed up.
No, first time, my fellow girls out there, I love all his friends, but I could never did anyone.
I love that stuff.
And you guys have differing opinions on Logan, Paul, So Grayson, you're you love Logan?
He's my close personal friends.
Yeah, he's coming here.
He will be in Perth in the United States champion right now. So I love having Logan around.
LA is a bit of a flop being mean to Logan like he's a little bit jealous.
He's jealous because he doesn't have a small change here. Now.
Look, Logan Park came in. They've given him the world and he's done a lot with it. That's good for him. But Logan Park can't sniff my jack as far as I'm concerned.
So Logan mind, Jock? Does that mean I said sniff?
I thought I thought, well' not finding the guys actually attracted. So so you're no fan of Logan? You like him? Yeah, what's gonna happen when he shows up? But do you talk to him?
La?
Not?
Did you?
Are you? You know?
Polite? And La doesn't talk to anything.
He got no friends backstage, no one likes La.
Well, what's that?
I don't know that's true, but I keep to myself. I'm kind of an island under myself. I don't need alliances, I don't need clicks any of that kind of stuff. I've done all this by myself. I will continue to do it by myself.
How do you think you'd go on Survivor? Hello?
Because because I know Grace, would you bring that Survivor? So Grayson did Survivor before you got w have the Australian Survivor.
Yeah.
I lasted thirty days, which was pretty good.
Yeah.
How do you think La would go on Survivor? I'm just interested to know, like that tactic of not needing anyone hear this.
He's definitely a sneaky bloke, so I think game wise, I think he would do very good and he's very personable as you can see.
People, would you know, like enjoy having.
Him around the warm We have a date already, Yeah, but I think there's no way he's sleeping in the sand for thirty days.
This is a fancy guy, sir.
Do you like five star?
Is that your thing?
Like?
Five star?
What does that mean? Things like no? Actually, no, I mean, look, obviously, I don't want to be in a chithole. Can I say that?
Yeah, none of us want to be Well Brooklyn does. Brooklyn's offen in there.
That's literally I'm like, I'm a pretty simple guy in that regard. I'm not Look, this guy has got the damn a.
Cheetahprint shirt on right now, and I'm in a sleeveless cutoff.
Who's got the fancy own Merchant's embarrassing.
You know, That's what a guy with no merchandise would say. Merchant, see that we don't like each other. This is the fact you've got us next to each other. He doesn't like me. I just don't care about it. That's you won't play that.
He's upset because I beat him so many times and you've beaten him. I've definitely beaten every time I beat you.
Two years ago, he started out to tell you what two months ago. Let's check the footage.
No, I didn't care.
You're as good as your last match. Right in our last match, you got your ass.
Well, I'll slip you right now that A little got the security here and I got calm down.
We encourage, we encourage.
It's not this kind of show.
He's a very normal show.
We won't do those type of things.
Um er So okay, So if you two were to fight right now, knowing you would condition you're in both of it are rock solid. Who would win right now? Not that you're going to, but who would win? I've got him.
He's jet You're way more jetulated.
Yeah, we're not on the same schedule or anything.
Do you guys like stay at the same hotel or you stand at home.
With the different floors. I don't want to hear him doing whatever he's doing in.
His room masturbating. Is he a masturbator?
I don't know. I mean probably look at him. I don't need everybody is, but I mean, but this guy's he's like a favor day or think you got to get your cardio in. Dude, I'm a professional athlete.
So do you guys ever just have a laugh and sit around or is it always pretty competitive?
I think what we do is very competitive, but because the schedule is so rough, you kind of have to have those times where you sit and have a laugh and take things too serious because what we do in the ring is so serious and it's so intense, especially you're getting punched in the face. You're punching other people in the face. That's that's not easy to do, so you really do try to take it easy the rest of the time.
Jackie finds that quite you know what sort of sexy, right the men fighting you love all that?
Sometimes?
Yeah?
Really yeah, a little bit? Sometimes not? Yeah, okay, what's the nut? Oh?
Just you know, if I was with a guy and like another guy just looked at me and he wanted to punch him, that would be too much, you.
Know, that's ridiculous.
Yeah, But like maybe if he's like, I don't know, getting into a brawl every now and again, it's not like.
Fighting over exactly. Yeah, I get it.
So you want us to fight over you as.
Now the day.
Maybe you can both win, Like it's like a like a participation award we give you.
I think you're setting up a whole different show at this point.
