We we first met you were you were broadcasting to do a radio and Nashville, Tennessee while yeah go back quite a few years ago now and and that that we met in really are our our families mapped and have tried to member how many before coming on air, but any idea what 15 well now you going downtown Nashville Gospel music week showcase "important and I remember that yes, I think you would look to speak or hear something there I was doing some broadcast and we can't have that parking lot and out like you would like you like everything to me like a normal person… Like weight you're not. You're not from Russia is all the time, believe it or not, the Internet, it still have itself so you grew up okay so you see groupware grow up. I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico or Moby Dick, Chicago, but okay New Mexico.

Okay where it while in and so I wrestled some in not a whole lot but but so were you curious what you are wrestling fan growing up, then I want I will walk you up when you I would watch what's left leaning on the cable network that you let him and I think how a printout really really little and I had Saturday night on that was put on by now the man I remember him out first guy coming down, down the down correctly and I just couldn't.

Yeah okay you you know you know getting toward later 80s. I really like your ultimate warrior.

Obviously think it's really really fascinated me a painting of the road warrior yelp LOD rocket came along.

Jim, if you're listening. I love you buddy. I like you know one story school I would get bullied a lot right and I became pretty big like type II I would go crazy.

Like you to think care getting an became a member you know you was trying to fight me in the part and I never want to fight before in my life and all the sudden I came to my mind and and that moment I became Roddy Piper and I went ham on the bullion. I was never picked on. Again real yeah and I remember even seeing the psychiatrist.

You know that my school maybe be because I gave your looking class. I did very abusive situation at home with my dad psychiatrist telling my mother that I think that the reason your son is so obsessed with wrestling.

I think that he looked to be guided by the figures in the time I got it.

Now that I've grown older, I looked out and I really look up guys on the screen, but it home.

I made a real connection for you and you knowing that you're not say this Chris. You're not the first guy you know that weathers know about autograph signing conference. I do these complement a conference like slogan, I do these camps call man camp and an innocent. I hear lots of guys stories writer people email me of the message meant social media but but man I've I've heard that story one time.

I can't tell you how may times I've heard a similar type story how in their childhood. Rough childhood are not the asked childhood ever and ever, yet they can look up the wrestlers inspired them, motivated them, but I have to tell you, for the record, your you're the first to to to imitate Roddy Piper in a bullying incident and overcome that that situation to be bullied together ask you like a how did you overcome will you give the answer you just you were Roddy Piper for a moment that yelp wow now that's you and I have you'll have a little bit in common. For me it was it was elementary school that I was bullied in elementary school that is in a sense really. The Lord showed me the Lord revealed to me that plagued me say plagued me was an underlying current instilled this a level of fear for for 50 years was only recent in 2017 that that that I got revelation of how that bullying incident impacted me in in elementary school in and in and was set free of of all that in 2017, just in 2017. But while I'm glad let me just say I'm glad that wrestling could be an outlet for you and in and help you and that we provided to that sense of motivation or's inspiration that you can look up to help you overcome all that like on a serious note, that's that's really awesome snow, even on the negative side bell influence form. You will die well yet not abruptly go and so I would I would you know maybe my care.

I Not Know Emily Is in Real Life Hope Hope Hopefully She Got Her Heart Mended at Some Point along the Way Chris Broke Her Heart. At Church, so Chris, now I got asked the stories a. How did you come out of that would transition from mimicking the bad guys to becoming the good guy that you are now winded that transition take place. Tell us well I think about God will plant for me 001 know God controlling and I knew ultimately what you do in my life and how to reach it. People but it took me becoming a bad guy in real life to really come to the real libation that I was back and I went to church my whole life with your high school, but I counted you know I like to be about five. I like the church by I have to like the part and so when I went to follow my senior year and I had no real reason to get to class on time, or keep my grades up. I started party party and really hard.

I started going to rain.

I started doing dry and then I you know comes really equally phony and so I printed the and they started having the right drug for them and I decided that I wanted the money aspect of the drug situation and so I became a drug dealer and when I did something I don't like getting know I can go all so you want to be in the top of the drug game and out so I started with myself in situations where I should've died were talking no gun done situation situations where I had to be rough with people.
