Apparently I got fired on via dirt sheets before Easter even, but happy Easter, enjoy. I woke up and I was like, wow, what did I do? So as it turned out, you are still under TNA contracts, you are still with the company, you are at the most recent tapings, just chilling, just chilling, finding my own business and then I got fired via PWM tighter. Listen, I'm going to say we did speak to the same person they spoke to and they got their wires crossed, but hey, we corrected it. We got it right. We got it right in the end. He's a good egg. He corrected it. Some sources did it. I'm just going to say, very glad that you have a job. Thank you. I'm very happy that you are gainfully employed as of right now. How have things been for you? I mean, the last time we did an interview, gosh, it was, I think it was at the collective. Yes, for black label. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I know we did an interview after you left WWE. Yes. Was it like Zoom or something like that? Yeah. You were slick about leaving WWE. I'm very slick about everything. You're very slick and like I had, I would, you know, I check everybody's cage match. I see when they last wrestled and I'm like, where's she been? What's up with her? What was up with you? What was up with me? Well, how'd you slip out of there unnoticed? You just kind of, it's like, I'm not comparing WWE to a jail, but it's like, you just saw the door open and you're like, I was like, great. It was literally like door open and it's like, okay, what are my goals? Oh, I want to be in blood sport. That was it. I got that. And then I got announced and people were like, aren't you contracted by WWE? Yes. And I didn't respond. It's like, just see me at blood sport. Yeah, I was, I was shocked. And now at blood sport, there are WWE contracted wrestlers. Exactly. So everything is possible. So was that something that you had aspired to do even while in WWE, because there are a whole lot of people with those kinds of backgrounds that are like, that's, that's what I want to do. Yeah. I wanted to do that specially because, you know, with Walter and Thatcher, I was like, I was part of RingConf briefly until it died. But like, I saw them like do that kind of stuff. I was like, oh my God, I really, really want to do blood sport. Yeah. And I did it and I had the most fun that I've ever had in the, in a ring. Well, yeah, the most fun you've had outside the ring is when you desecrated the American flag earlier, where it squared circle Expo. I did not do that. Drop kicked it. You, that drop kicked it. You're going to revoke your visa now. They're going to be like, no more like we don't want that. No, no more. You cannot apply for a green card. I kicked. I can confirm that was an accident. Is that, is that what you're looking to do? Are you looking to gain a green card here in the US? Yeah. Yeah. I'm working towards that. That it has to be a pretty arduous process. I mean, expensive. Yes. Yes, expensive, but I'm, I'm working on it. Have you considered selling organs like your spleen or maybe that's a possibility with anybody else's? Yeah. Would anyone, uh, want to buy a killer kelly organ? A good, you know what? We're going to get legit bids on this now. Can't wait to sell it on eBay. There's going to be actual bids on this now. Or you can give me your organ. Yeah. It's also a good thing. You can show up here at squared circle Expo or we're, we're very nice enough to let us do this interview, bring it preferably in like a pail of ice. Yeah, yeah. An ice container, please. Yeah. So, uh, I don't want to people to look, you know what I mean? You're doing some other stuff, uh, fightful select broke the news recently that you're doing a short film. Oh, yeah. I was like, what else did you break? What else? What else did you do? We don't break things. We fix them. Yeah. Yeah. This is something that I know that you had put out in the world that you wanted to do. And like, especially with your facial expressions, which I do want to talk about later, like people see that you, there, there you go, that see, we're going to have to do a good one for the thumbnail, but like, it's, it's something that you have a knack for. It's almost that, that horror, that horror culture that is there. Yeah. What was the process of even like loop contacting you for that? Yeah. Like it was easy. It was easy enough. Uh, I just like, I just posted that randomly on Twitter and he was like, oh, you know what? It's my dream to make a movie. And I think this is the perfect time. I was like, hell yeah, let's fucking do it. And can I swear? Yeah, you can swear. Fuck yeah. But yeah, I said, let's fucking do it. And now we're doing it. And it's going to be great. So have you filmed it yet? Or is it set to film? Set to film. Set to film. Set to film. I'm so excited. I know that Matt Raywald is going to be in it as well. I didn't know that. Yeah. I don't know if he did. I reached out to him and he goes, the hell are you talking about? He told me that. And he retweeted it all. And I'm like, oh, OK. Good. He was like, he was like, Shawn just like approached me. And I was like, what? What? What's happening? And then I had-- It seems to happen a lot, huh? What? Yeah, people just-- you break the news before people know stuff. You're just like-- I mean-- You're putting it into the universe. Are you putting it into the universe that you want me to get fired? I don't want you to get fired at all. I mean, unless you're working for Fightful full time. How much you waiting? Probably not that much, honestly. We'll do a revenue split. Yeah. Revenue split right down the middle. I mentioned your facial expressions. And they're very photogenic in the ring. You find the cameras very well. Like, you're very good at finding the red light, as they say. Is that something that came naturally to you? Or is that something that you're like, OK, I'm going to specifically work to do that. I think I don't want to be one of those people like, oh, yeah, I was born with it. Just literally, it was the most natural thing for me, the most natural. I don't know, because I'm fucking crazy. Maybe that's why. But it just-- it makes me so comfortable doing that and just being crazy lunatic. Goodbye. She hates America. Stop. See, you all heard it right here. She knocked over, hold on. No. Oh my gosh, it's going to happen. We're going to get the footage. Why wear a seatbelt? The math speaks for itself. You have a one in 40 chance of being in a crash this year.

Oh my gosh. Are you going to take the flag? He's taking the flag. He's protecting it. He's protecting it from you. I just hope you know, freedom is not free. There's a hefty fucking fee, as they say. There is. I'm paying all those fees. You are. You are. I did try to learn Portuguese one time. Not well. Not well. It was when I covered MMA and like every successful MMA fighter spoke Portuguese. And I was not good at it. It was very difficult. And when did you learn English? Was it from an early age? Yes. Like in Portugal, they make sure that we are some sort of bilingual. Sure. When we grow up. And I started learning like five, something like that. Okay. I didn't know if it was like Kevin Owens who literally learned English by watching Jim Ross on Raw. Oh, yeah. And wrestling helped. That's why like some people say that I have like an American accent. That's why that is why because wrestling like helped with all of that. Were you like integrating wrestling sayings into your everyday life? Like Kevin Owens is like, yeah, I didn't realize slobber knocker wasn't a part of just like English. How are you? You slobber knocker? Yes. Yeah. What are those? What are you saying before the fact of you ruining the concept of America came up? Exactly. Yeah. Was that something that came naturally? Do you finding the red light and finding the camera because you are exceptional at it? Sir, I responded to that. Okay. Listen, so much has happened since then. I said that we live in a different world than what we lived in three and a half minutes ago. Yes. I ruined America, apparently. Yes. Oh my God. I love it. I forgot all that. I got so distracted. I'm so glad and them just ruining my interview. This is my interview. It is your interview. It's not their interview. It is your interview. You also seem to have a pretty good knack for knowing what is going to get clipped and jiffed on social media. You seem like in your mind as you're doing these things in the ring, I feel like you in your head you're like somebody's going to turn this into a jiff. So I'm going to be honest. The first time that I did, for example, the Rosemary spot, the first time, I didn't think about that. Okay. I literally did not. I was like, oh my God, you do the thing. We're talking. She was like, you need to do it back to me and it's just going to go crazy. I'm like, yes, it's going to be awesome. And then it got more than 1 million views. Yes. I was like, God damn, look at me giving TNA these views. And then we're like, okay, we're going to wrestle again. Okay. Now we need to do it. Of course. And of course, they also gave like almost a million good wholesome fans out there. Oh wholesome. They do love good old wholesome killer Kelly. So when that happens, do you see like a marked increase in social media or subscribers or anything of that nature? Yes. Social media. Definitely. So it pays off. Yeah, it pays off. Yeah. And it's good for the company as well to have like, I know there's like the WWE names that you know, WWE names that get like a lot of views and stuff like that. So it's good to see like a kind of homegrown talent like bring views as well. Like, yeah, it's nice. It's a nice compliment. Thanks guys. What are some of your goals in and out of wrestling, since you're fired apparently? Yes. It's on fire. My goals. Okay. Outside of wrestling. She's like, I've never considered that. No, I have. Just aimlessly. Aimlessly is just like, follow the wrestling and I'm like, Oh my God, it's working. No, my goal is to have like a little cat haven. I want to save all the cats. We have five. I shouldn't tell you that. You're really going to come after me. I was going to say you're really going to come after my wife if you see all five of our cats. They're beautiful. Listen, please do not take my wife. Please do not go to my house on Lucille Drive where the key is under the mat. Please do not. Whatever you do. I won't. I promise. Please do not do that at all whatsoever. A cat haven't. I respect that. Yeah, I want to save all the cats. Tugs it in my little heartstrings there. Yeah. Killer Kelly is going to save the cats. Oh my gosh. That's what I'm going to do. You ever think you'll do cat inspired gear? Oh my God. Like bloody cats, maybe. Or cats eating people. Yes. Zombie, little zombie cats. Zombie cats. There you go. There you go. Hell yeah. We would watch Walking Dead and we'd always be like, do the animals turn too? Because literally I'm rewatching the Walking Dead. I'm sorry to hear that. Stop. It's too much. Stop. How can you pop? I'm at season four. Right now. Yeah, you should stop. No. I stop the season. I'm like, I need to watch all the seasons. No. This interview has turned into an intervention. Like why would you do that? I will punch it. Listen, I loved it the first four or five seasons. It was phenomenal. Even, okay, season one of Fear the Walking Dead sucks, but they realized it sucked and then they're like, they're like, let's reboot this whole shit. Exactly. And the next few seasons were really good. Yeah. It's a job. No, that's how you don't have a job now. That's how you can watch this. That's how you have all the time to watch this show. Stop. No. It's like when somebody says, I'm rewatching Grey's Anatomy. That's a job. Yeah, that is a lot. How can you do that? That is a lot. I mean. Sorry to interrupt you. I just feel so bad for you. Well, shut up. And let me proceed with what I was saying about the animals, because as I told you before, I'm rewatching The Walking Dead. And there's a scene where a dog passes by and I'm like, oh, is that a zombie dog or a normal dog? I can't tell. That was it. I can't tell. That's why the whole-- Well, there's a whole new spinoff for that now too. Here's another 40 episodes for you. The Walking Pets. My God. All the people where they can find you can support you on social media. Guys, you already know. I think they probably do. I'll let you know again. Twitter. No. It's still Twitter noise.
