Welcome to another electrifying episode of the commentary booth live via satellite
0:12
where we peel back the curtain on your favorite wrestlers and their cinematic influences
0:17
I'm your host Jamie Apps, and today we're cranking up the excitement with a mysterious guest
0:21
who is a leader of Perth, Western Australia's wrestling scene, is highly decorated as a three-time
0:29
Bruchel Libre Grand Champion, a former STW and EPW tag team champion
0:37
SHWA pride champion, SHWA and AAW tag team champion, titles out the wazoo, joining us live via satellite today is none other than the
0:49
mysterious mask Lugidor del Cano. I reckon we can stop it there
0:54
I think that you've talked to me out more than anyone has in my entire life
0:57
Thanks, Jamie. Thanks having me. My pleasure. How's everything on the other side of the country and EPW going
1:05
Well, from our perspective, you're the other side of the country. So on the, on the good side of the country, everything's going really, really well
1:12
Shows, yeah, happening with much more frequency. It's starting to feel a little bit more like the before time now
1:20
Yeah, everything's going really well. Sort of after elimination chamber, there was a thought that maybe things would die down
1:28
but we've been going from strength to strength, so I can't complain. Yeah, very nice
1:33
Glad that you've sort of been able to keep that momentum going from the big super show
1:38
Yeah, I mean, it sort of came out of nowhere. I remember, you know, growing up in Perth, you don't expect a pay for you from WWE to come to your hometown
1:45
But, yeah, it was an amazing weekend and it's been a great year so far on the backs of it
1:51
And then was it today you had the UFC in town as well
1:56
So lots of big events coming out. Yeah, no, it's, I don't know what. the WA Tourism Board is doing, but keep it up, lads. Like, it's a great time
2:04
Yeah, do we just need them to get EPW on that list and get them promoting the big
2:09
shows? I mean, I presume we're next for a big international pay-per-view event. So, look
2:15
it'll be any day now. The announcement will come out, surely. Yep. Yeah. There's a, there's a, there actually will be a big EPW announcement coming
2:21
very shortly. So stay tuned for that. Very good. So thanks for joining me on the show today to
2:28
chat about your favorite movies and their influence on your wrestling career. Before we dive into that
2:34
do you want to sort of give us a little bit of a rundown on how big a part movies and TV are
2:38
in your life? Sure. Look, I was born in the 90s, so, you know, there was a very good time to be
2:46
growing up and to be surrounded by some really fantastic movies. I'm someone who's drawn to really
2:52
strong cohesive narratives. Like, that's, you know, that's a big part of what I love to do. It's a
2:58
big part of I like to be involved in. It's a big part of what I enjoy to consume in my media
3:03
So I'm one of those people who, as soon as I watch something, I deep dive as much as possible
3:08
into it. It drives my partner insane. But I can't just casually watch something. I have to
3:16
watch something and then know everything about how it was made and how to put together and all the
3:21
little things. So yeah, I just, I love consuming good media in whatever form
3:28
that takes. requesting. So then the big question for the day is, what have you chosen as the movie or
3:35
TV show that has had the biggest influence on you? So there's a movie I watched when I was young
3:42
Now, I was, I was one of those kids who watched all the VHS tapes of all Disney movies going back
3:47
to Snow White and 30 in the late 30s and all the way through. And then when I was nine years old
3:54
this movie came out from Pixar. And I loved it then. And I've watched it at least once a year since then
4:01
And every time I've watched it, it has only gotten better and better. And I've only related to it more and more
4:06
And when I started wrestling, there was a whole different connection I gained with the film
4:14
with its characters, with its themes. And that is 2004's The Incredibles
4:20
Okay. What was it that sort of drew you in and made you connect with it so deeply
4:28
Well, to start off with, as a nine-year-old, it's a really cool superhero action movie
4:33
You know, got all these characters who wear these bright costumes and do these really
4:37
cool things and it's a funny movie and it's a heartfelt movie
4:42
And then you get older and you see that below the surface, there's also this really sad story of a man who was in his prime who is trying to recapture that spark
4:55
and he's going through life and he's slipped into that sort of monotonous life
5:01
that it's very easy to fall into when you're working at 9 to 5 and used to do these amazing things
5:05
when you were younger and then you just got to pay the bills and that's what you've got to do now
5:09
you've got to look after your family that's all your life is and he just finds himself yearning
5:14
to recapture that spark that he lost from when he was younger from when he was the main hero
5:19
when he was something he was proud of and the older you get
5:25
the more you not so much identifying with what's on the surface
5:29
on the surface superhero movie, you start to identify with the subtext, everything behind it
5:36
And it's just, I think it's just a masterfully crafted movie. Yeah, I think probably everyone can connect to it in that way
5:43
But then also as a wrestler, you connect with that sort of story even more
5:48
because you go through those waves in your career where you're potentially the top dog
5:53
as like you've been multiple time champion across different promotions. And then you lose that title and you're back to being just a guy on the roster
6:02
So you have to build back up again. And God, look, being candid, like right now, I'm absolutely one of those, you know
6:09
you go through peaks and troughs, you go through waves. And right now I'm very much in that spot where Bob Parr was
6:15
where he remembers where he used to be one of the featured attractions, he used to be the guy
6:20
and then for one reason or another, whether it's some things in your control
6:25
some things out of your control, you're not that guy anymore. And, you know, it sucks
6:31
You know, it's never easy to go through. And that has applied to me as a wrestler, it's applied to me as a person
6:38
And, you know, it's a universal human experience. No one's on top forever
6:45
Especially like EPW at the moment. There's lots of young, hungry guys and girls coming through
6:49
I hate them all. I hate them all. I'm one of the trainers at the school, and I see all these
6:54
stupidly athletic, talented young people. I'm like, I'm not old. I mean, I'm 29 years old. I'm
7:01
not an old person by any stretch of the imagination, but I see these young people coming up
7:05
and they have so much hope in their eyes, and it kills me, because they aren't broken yet
7:10
and they should be, and it's just, oh, and they're so talented, and they don't know how talented
7:16
they are and the roster has never been deeper and it's a it's a fight it's a fight to get onto
7:23
the card because it is that strong it is that strong of a roster yeah good problem to have as
7:29
a wrestling promotion though yeah not for me it's good for everyone else but not for me yep great
7:34
for everyone else you mentioned you sort of watch the Incredibles at least once a year why do you still
7:41
continue to come back and watch it is it just because you you are finding those new nuances
7:46
in the film every time. Look, there's definitely part of it's nostalgia. I mean, all of us have
7:52
nostalgia for what, you know, most of our favorite wrestlers will be someone who we had from, you know
7:56
someone who we watched when we were a kid. So there's a part of that there. But it's also
8:00
I mentioned earlier, I love really well crafted narratives. I like really well crafted pieces
8:05
of media. And if you watch the Incredibles, I challenge you to find a single part of that movie
8:12
that could have been improved. And I watch it and it's just for the just under two hours that it is
8:19
I am just transported into that world and at no point do I ever think about what, you know
8:25
they could have done slightly better or a bit I don like it all It just keeps me going all the way through And it just it you know it gets you to feel both positive and negative emotions similar to a wrestling match in a wrestling show
8:39
You feel those positive and negative emotions, but you feel them in a way that it feels like they've taken you on a journey
8:46
And there's no other film I've ever watched that has so consistently been able to do that to me
8:51
Okay, that's awesome. And then there is a sequel, The Incredibles 2
8:55
how do you feel about that sequel? Look, it's not the Incredibles
9:01
It's a good movie. I enjoy it, but it's not the Incredibles
9:06
I think that they waited far too long. I think it was, what was the second one, 2018 or something like that
9:11
So it was 14 years after the first one. Like, come on, you know, it's again, back to wrestling
9:17
You know, if the crowd is going after this one guy and they really want that one person to win
9:23
really, they want that one person to win the title or win the raw rumble or whatever it is. And you wait 14 years to do that
9:29
Come on now. Yeah, you've got to capitalize on the heat when it's there. Yeah, yeah
9:33
Strike while the iron's hot. So then when you sort of began wrestling, how did you incorporate the Incredibles into Delcano
9:42
And is there like one specific character that was the major touch thing
9:47
Oh, one specific character. Look, first and foremost, you know, this thing
9:53
or not, this is in my real face. I sort of identified with going out there and putting on a mask
10:00
and being that larger than life character because, you know, behind the scenes, I'm not a big
10:05
larger than life person. That's just not who I am. But I put this on and I feel like that
10:11
And I put that on and I'm able to exude that. I'm able to present that to a crowd. So in terms of
10:20
one character, look, it sort of depends on which side of the fence I'm leading
10:24
To be perfectly honest, it's, look, there are definitely times where I feel like a little bit
10:29
of a dash, just sort of cracking dumb jokes because I'm being a little shit
10:36
And then there are also times where I'm, you know, a bit of syndrome, cracking dumb jokes
10:41
because I'm an evil shit. Like, you know, there are, I think there are actually parts of sort of all
10:46
the characters, definitely Bob, a lot of the time, especially when I have to have to, to sort of feel that resentment that I spoke about earlier that, you know, I'm not the guy
10:56
that I was a few years ago. I definitely have to have to tap into some of that mystery, incredible
11:03
yeah, regret or resentment. But, you know, I don't think that there's out of sort of the main cast
11:09
I don't think there's anyone I don't, I take nothing out of. Yes, it's not necessarily just
11:14
mimicking one particular character. You're pulling little bits and pieces from all of them to come
11:20
up with your own unique superhero. Yeah, absolutely. I think similar to, you know, sort of the main family and the Incredibles, who I am
11:30
as Delcano is, you know, it's that classic wrestling. You've heard it a million times, just be yourself, but with a volume turned up, I'm not
11:38
a character wrestler per se. Like, you know, you have those guys who go out there and they are, they are these crazy
11:44
wacky characters, and they do it amazingly. You know, I think of someone in New South Wales for years, I always admired
11:50
you know, Mick Moretti because he was just this crazy what I could never do what Mick did
11:56
Like he's sort of, you know, not doing it as much as he was in that sort of crazy while, but I could
12:01
never do that. So, and the Incredibles don't do that either. They don't pretend to be sort of, you know, they don't pretend to be from outer space or whatever
12:09
Like they're just, they're just super able people who are doing their best to help
12:15
And as Delcano, I sort of feel like, you know, I'm just, I'm just a guy. That's always sort of, I've always, I always sort of envisioned Delcano as a white guy who happens to be a Luchador
12:28
Like, you know, it just happened to be. That's just completely by the by thing
12:34
On that front, is someone like El Generico also a big influence for you
12:38
Oh, God, yes. Oh, God, yes. Especially particularly when it came to selling, because you watch Generico and you never
12:48
feel like you're not involved in the emotive performance and you can only see a corner of his face
12:53
and that's because his body is just so expressive of what he's going through in that moment
12:58
and something that people point out to me a lot of training is that you know a training believe
13:04
or not i don't wear this all the time um and so at training you know i'm showing people how to do
13:10
things and my face is popping off all over the place and people like why do you wear a mask if
13:15
because when you wear a mask you have to dial up everything up because, you know, your face is hidden and so you have to dial everything up
13:26
in order to still convey that same level for motion. So what's going under the mask is like
13:31
weir, because otherwise it doesn't translate. And that is something that Generico does
13:35
incredibly. Yeah, it's like, like I've seen going to a lot of theatre shows, like their
13:42
facial expressions and movements are really over-exuberant because they have that disconnect
13:48
with the distance on the stage. But yeah, you're taking away that one key feature
13:52
that everybody is so attuned into to get emotions from. I imagine that's very difficult to then, oh
13:59
how do I convey a lot of these emotions? Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, that people acting realistically in movies
14:08
has only really been things since, you know, 60s, 70s. Until then, everyone, you know, when movies were first coming around
14:14
they were all theater actors. And so they all did that over the top. one of my other favorite movies singing in the rain
14:19
I love it because they just talk like these really over-the-top movements and voices
14:25
and everything's so over-the-top. And it's so theatery. And yeah, it was only sort of, yeah, from the middle of the 20th century onwards that people
14:33
started to, you know, acting became realistic. But if you're in a live performance, you have to be over the top
14:40
There's no, there's a place for subtlety and there's a place for nuance
14:46
but it has to be surrounded by something that's easily absorbable for a mass media market
14:53
Yeah, you can sort of move some of those subtle elements to your backstage promos and your promo packages and stuff
15:00
But then once you're in the ring, you have to go to the big flare craziness
15:04
Absolutely. And if you're doing, you know, things like a subtle facial expression, that can absolutely play a part
15:11
But only if you know that the camera, whether it's still or video, is watching you that exact moment
15:16
That can't be for the benefit of the crowd. There has to be for the benefit of a different audience that you're trying to capture
15:21
In terms of that live audience, you have to be over the top and you have to be really making it clear what you are going through in that moment
15:27
whether it's positive or negative. Are you a trading card collector or a fan of Australian pro wrestling

16:28
So then I watched The Incredibles over the weekend as well, just to refresh
16:32
One thing I noted down, Mr. Incredible, definitely the design of the character embodies that wrestling mantra of it's an upper-body business
16:42
It's up-body business, brother. The man sticks for legs. Yeah, I thought that was very funny
16:47
I do enjoy that, which is hilarious because you see him like leg pressing, you know, a train at one point
16:55
Just as like sort of he like sort of rolling on his tiny little spindly legs And it just yeah and that something I love I love the designs of the Incredibles as well You know they are so over the they so exaggerated I mean God enough of YouTube videos about bloody Mrs Incredible
17:10
It's, oh yeah. Yeah, classic Pixar mom, but. Yeah, Pixar, Picks our mom, man
17:15
And it's just like, you know, syndromes are the same. Syndrome's got this, you know, crazily conical body
17:20
And they all, and his boss got Mr. Incredible's boss is a hilarious design
17:25
Because that's part of what they're conveying. It's physical storytelling. You know, they could have made them all look realistic
17:31
but that wouldn't get the point across as well as having them be these over-exaggerated caricatures
17:36
It wouldn't tell the same story. It wouldn't tell it to the same degree. And I think that's another reason why this movie ties in so well with wrestling
17:44
because they, yeah, you are caricatures of people a lot of the time
17:49
Yeah, I mean, the whole no capes thing, that is literally Mr. Incredible just pitching some entrance gear
17:54
and getting turned down by the promoter. That is literally what they're like. oh yeah, I reckon I actually wear a cape and then be like, no, that's stupid. Don't wear a cape
18:01
That's exactly what it is, which is a conversation that a million trainees will come off
18:06
to me say, hey, I think I should do X, Y, Z. And I'll say, no, that's stupid. Because, you know
18:11
you have an idea of what you are in your head. And that doesn't actually translate to what
18:18
you are trying to go out there to do. And it's something that with a lot of young wrestlers in
18:21
particular, being able to view yourself realistically and being able to view what you are
18:31
you know, like I could have gone out there and said, I want to go out there and be the guy who
18:39
chokeslimes everyone and beats them within a minute. And any promoter would have said to me
18:46
yeah, that's stupid. You don't look like that. That's dumb. Don't do that. Yeah, you're not seven foot
18:51
300 pounds. No, you know, I'm 6'11 on my best day. And so it's, Jesus, I wish. And, you know
19:02
I think that that sort of introspection is something that's missing a lot with sort of
19:07
okay, if you're going to pitch something to, whether it's a promoter or whether it's a trainer
19:12
sort of looking for ideas, picture yourself actually doing it on a card and see whether or not
19:18
that is something that will translate, you know, does. Does it make sense for you to wear a cape
19:23
No. Would it be beneficial to you as a wrestler to wear a cape
19:27
Would it be beneficial to Mr. Incredible superhero to wear a cape? No. Yeah
19:31
And like, would it fit with the overall card too? Is there already somebody doing something similar to that
19:39
Do you bring something fresh to the table? No, absolutely. Is there some guy who his whole stick is that he comes out and he loves his cape
19:48
It's not impossible that there's some guy who his whole, character that he has spent years crafting that the crowd is invested in in that this guy really
19:56
loves his cape and you want to go out there and you just want to wear a cape just because it'll
20:00
look cool right you have to be able to sort of view your place in the whole scheme of things
20:06
um and that taking it back to the Incredibles every little bit feeds the overall presentation
20:13
there's no little bit of it that tries to overshadow anything else it's all there to help
20:19
construct one cohesive piece of media. And I guess too, as a young trainee coming through and you as a trainer
20:29
you kind of don't want to push a trainee to go and get this crazy, elaborate gear for their
20:34
first gear, spend all this money, and then the gimmick kind of fall flat and not connect with
20:39
the audience as well. No. Like, you know, all of us are doing this for the love of the game
20:44
You know, if it was a, oh, yeah, no, you have unlimited funds. So, you know, give it a shot
20:49
It's also, first impressions matter so much. And as a pro wrestler, if you go out there and the first time that you're making an entrance
21:04
you up massively, like you go out there and you are wearing the dumbest key
21:09
a nudgeman trying to make it seriously, make it work seriously, and then you trip over the ropes because your cape has snagged on the bottom rope
21:17
and then you're trying to save face and then you get flustered
21:20
and you forget the whole match. It's going to take you literally years to overcome that stigma
21:26
Like there are too, and just speaking for Perth, there are too many fantastic wrestlers
21:31
in this state that if you aren't, I'm not saying you have to be
21:37
the perfect presentation of day one, but you have to be confident in what you're doing
21:42
You can't go out there trying something completely wacky that has no chance of succeeding and then think, oh, it's fine, let's try something
21:50
different next time. No, they'll remember. They'll remember and you'll be on the back foot from
21:55
the beginning. It's like starting the match with a shi lockup. If you start the match with a bad
21:58
lockup, then the crowd's immediately not invested in what you're presenting. And you have to
22:03
then work harder in order to get back the legitimacy you were trying to get from them
22:08
Like I think even if we look to the WWE, like the Titus O'Neill, the famous trip and slide
22:14
under the ring. Like, that's one of the biggest things he's remembered for
22:18
And it's because it's crazy stuff up. And imagine with that in his debut
22:23
Yeah. He had years of being a character up to that point. So people were like, okay, yeah, like, he's not the best wrestler
22:29
But like, you know, he's, he's very charismatic and he's very whatever. If the first thing they ever saw it from the bloke, the shockmaster
22:35
what's the first time you ever see the shockmaster? Is him tripping over a board in front of his legs, his mask falling off and being like
22:43
oh, shit. and like trying to put it back on and then trying to look hench
22:47
No, no, it's over. You're done. Yep. Yeah, the gimmick's dead. The shockmaster is a perfect example of what we're talking about
22:54
Like, he came out there with a glittery stormtrooper helmet. You know, he paid for this very expensive gimmick
23:00
I mean, WCW paid for it, but whatever. And cool. Ruined. So then in terms of the Incredibles as well
23:08
if you were to cast a live action Incredibles from. Australian wrestling, who would come in as the Incredibles, and then who would come in as
23:19
syndrome to go up against them? All right, here we go. All right
23:24
So the one that immediately comes to mine is Dash, which has to be Paris. Like, no one else could be Dash, like, you know, the little shit
23:32
Like, I love him, but yeah, he's just Dash. He's very fast
23:36
He's very fast. He's very, oh, okay. God, sort of leading towards Sydney people along
23:43
which is not great for the Perth representations. So I'll keep thinking
23:49
Who's Bob? Who's Mr. Incredible? Like, you need someone big, someone strong, someone like, you know
23:58
I could see like a Mikey Broderick. Broderick, now Broderick's Broderick's too in shape
24:06
Yeah, he's late too well to find. You know what I'm going to go? I'm going to go, Jake Andrew Arthur
24:10
He is still trying to chase that, that Commonwealth and Olympic glory from back in the day
24:17
And he's just trying to take it out some poor smaller folks over in Melbourne
24:22
Yeah, I'm going, Jake Handur Arthur, the Uranagi master himself. Yep. Okay
24:26
Now, Violet. Violet. You know what? I'm going to go with Stella Nix from Perth because she was insecure for years
24:36
And she's someone who I've worked very closely with someone who I've trained with a lot
24:40
and she has recently really, really found her groove. And she is now absolutely killing it in what she's doing
24:49
And she's embraced that confident side of herself. So I can definitely see her as a pilot
24:55
Yeah, I think her international trip really boosted her confidence levels of she's at a point now where people see her as a legitimate competitor
25:04
Yeah, absolutely. And she's always been one of the most unique, you know, one of the most unique wrestlers in ring that we've had in Perth
25:10
for years like her moveset is ridiculous yeah she just needed to find that confidence she has now
25:16
and for mrs incredible i'm just going to go for australia's wrestling mums i'm going to go with
25:21
madison eagles because you know she is the she is the mum of the wrestling family that we have here
25:26
like you know women wrestling in australia that madison eagles you can really you know can really say anything else there Now who the syndrome Who is the evil who is trying to take down straight in wrestling
25:42
I'm interested to hear what you think on this one. I just think because of his crazy whackingness
25:50
like it screams a Mick Moretti type character of just... Yeah, look, I'll pay that
25:56
I'll pay himickmaredi. On the Perth front, I could go with someone like the Don, Michael Morleone, someone who sort of wasn't respected for years
26:04
Like for 10 years, he was a comedy lower card guy. And then he just sort of emerged as this full-fledged main eventer
26:12
And he definitely harbors a fair amount of resentment for it towards the Perth wrestling scene
26:17
So, yeah, I'm going to go with the Don. Very good casting there
26:21
I think that would be a fun little movie. Yeah, no, I could definitely get around it
26:25
Like, if you've got the funding, if you want the executive producer, I'm down. Oh, I wish. I wish I had that much money. And that's the first thing you'd use it towards
26:34
obviously. Yeah, of course. So then for your character as well, have you drawn inspiration
26:40
from other media, not just The Incredibles? Yeah, absolutely. One that comes up a fair band is Spider-Man
26:48
Again, that first live action, Tocke McGuire, Spider-Man came out when I was seven, so again
26:53
perfect age, just sort of ingrained itself in my mind. And again, sort of the
26:58
masked guy doing flips wise cracking it feels very spider-manish yeah spider-man spider-man is the
27:05
other big one definitely the incredible than spider-man would be the two specifically like the toad
27:09
maguire spider-man movies um because they just you know i love all three of them i don't care
27:14
what people say three is a a dumb masterpiece that i love um it's such a dumb movie but i could
27:21
watch it any day of the week and be entertained i don't know if so much inspired but just the
27:26
Simpsons, obviously. I'm an Australian who grew up with Channel 10. Like I, you know
27:32
The Simpsons will always be there. It will always be a huge marker for what I find funny
27:37
And for sort of if I'm trying to communicate any sort of comedy, it will almost certainly
27:41
be some sort of recycled Simpsons joke, like every other Australian my age
27:47
Yeah, Jesse, Jesse Lambert called you out on that one on his episode of Live Via satellite as well
27:54
about the constant use of Simpsons memes? I don't listen to anything he's on out of principle, so I skipped that one, sorry
28:03
That's so good, yeah. He was very much talking about Simpsons memes, and he's too young for that stuff
28:09
which makes me feel good. Yeah, God, absolutely. Again, another young person who is stupidly talented, and I hate him for it
28:17
Emma, I run thinking there's been talk of a third entry into the franchise
28:22
There was one announced last week, officially. Ah, yes, there was. It's done
28:29
Look, I'll watch it, obviously. Literally, but it's just... Again, it's kind of maybe they've waited too long
28:39
Maybe they've waited too long, and it's, you know, I don't know how many times I can, because I'm a completionist as well
28:48
Like, you know, I can't start, again, talking about things that drive my partner insane
28:51
I can't start a TV show and then not sort of finish it as soon as possible because I like viewing narratives in their completion
29:02
And there's a franchise that has burned me too many times being Toy Story where I thought the three was the perfect ending
29:09
And then they announced four. I'm like, ah, you . And then they announce four
29:13
And then they do four. And I'm like, you know what? That was actually quite a nice second ending
29:18
Okay. And now they've just announced five. So I'm like, Jesus Christ. And The Incredibles, I'm worried that it's just I'm going to try, okay, let's watch it, let's get a resolution
29:28
It's a trilogy. This has to be the end. Surely I watch it. They do it well
29:32
And I'm like, okay, I feel satisfied. And then in 24 years, they announced the Incredibles 4
29:38
We end up being an old man sitting in a retirement village and they're announcing the Incredibles 5
29:45
You're like, ah, stop. Oh, wait. Oh, please stop. It's like, yes, I'll go see it
29:49
But like just. Oh, God, yeah. Obviously, I understand making movies as a business
29:55
I get it. You know, they have franchises that they know people, like me, the idiots, will go pay money to see
30:01
I am very aware I'm part of the problem. But I just, yeah, I just love when stories finish at the right point
30:11
And I'm worried about it, not doing that. Do you have any predictions for The Incredibles 3
30:17
Look, I don't think they're going to kill off any of the family. I think that would be probably overdoing it a little bit
30:24
I hope they don't. Yeah, screw it. Zombie syndrome. I'm going to throw it out there
30:30
It's not going to happen, but let's do it. Zombie syndrome. Let's go. There's zero chance of zombie syndrome
30:38
But I really want to just make an outlandish claim now and be right. So I'm going to say zombie syndrome
30:43
I could see it being like some sort of like weird connect, somehow connecting to syndrome
30:49
like a random like sibling or something that he didn't know about and they bring that in just as like
30:56
that nostalgia play for people who grew up on the incredible well if it's like his mom you know in
31:02
in the in the first movie he gets he gets arrested and uh as a as a child and they say yeah make sure
31:08
he tell his mom where he's been and they take it back to his mom and his mom then finds out that
31:12
he's been you know blowing up in there playing crash spoilers and she you know she finds his weapon stash
31:19
It's just Spider-Man 3. It is just Spider-Man 3. Here we go. His mum is Harry Osborne
31:25
Sorted. Done. I'm all for it. Yeah, perfect. So then as we close out, we look ahead
31:33
What's in store for you in wrestling in the coming months to close out the rest of the year
31:40
So, EPW is still going strong. I've got my equalizer, my bodyguard, Blake Walker
31:46
So we could show up sort of on any EPW. card, whether it's the school shows, whether to the main shows, there's nothing really lined up
31:54
I've got a, I mean, let's call it a rebuild stage. So right now, as we've pointed out, a few times, the roster is absolutely stacked with
32:02
people who have been working very hard to earn their place. And I'm, yeah, I'm doing it whatever I can now to get myself in a position back to where I was
32:13
a few years ago. I'm Mr. Incredible. This is my workout montage. Let's go
32:17
Yeah, you're in that insurance sales. phase of the movie just waiting for the top secret call yeah look i was going to wear my uh you know
32:26
my really depressing black tie but i thought against it uh so finally where is the best place for people
32:32
to support you and track your wrestling journey moving forward so i'm on them yeah facebook
32:38
instagram x twitter uh at del kano wrestler on all three uh follow epbw socials and you follow
32:47
all Perth wrestling socials. Follow Southern Territory wrestling. Do Where's My Ring. New Horizons
32:53
Pro Wrestling. Haven't wrestled there for a while, but like, you never know. Just support Perth
32:57
Pro Wrestling because I have been involved in this scene for a long, long
33:01
time now and I firmly believe that if we had the same
33:05
sort of geographical convenience as any other scene in the world, we'd be one of the top contenders
33:13
So, you know, we're a bit hard to find, but when you find us, you won't be disappointed. Yeah, I think Perth wrestling at the moment is probably at its strongest point it's ever been
33:22
I mean, look, I think it was stronger when I was on top, but that's just, you know
33:27
that's just my bank account talking. But anyway, yeah, no, we're doing, we're doing all right
33:33
