00:17I'm standing here in the arena in Mexico City that's hosting Triple Mania, just moments
00:24before doors open.
00:54Triple Mania is one of the biggest events of the year.
00:57Not only is it my first time wrestling in Mexico in my entire career, I'm wrestling at the biggest
01:03event that Mexico puts on, so that's a hell of a debut.
01:08To see 22,000 people in that building in Mexico City opposite Mayweather-McGregor fight, it
01:12was pretty remarkable.
01:13I love it, man.
01:14It's beautiful.
01:15They must have knew I was coming because they got all the lights up here and they got a big
01:19enough arena to hold all my fans, so I think it's amazing.
01:22The passion that they have, the energy that they have, those fans don't sit down.
01:27It is constant energy and adrenaline flowing within that arena.
01:32This time right now is what I'd like to refer to as the calm before the storm.
01:43You go down to Mexico, it's a completely different story.
01:46You don't know what you're getting when you get there.
01:47You don't know what you're going to see when you get there.
01:49You don't know what you're going to get wrapped up in.
01:51And yeah, this year was no exception.
01:56I definitely got some butterflies walking out into the arena earlier today.
02:02This will easily be the biggest crowd that I've ever performed in front of.
02:06And after coming so close to death, to be wrestling again just four months later and on a show of
02:12this magnitude, I can't even put the feeling in the words.
02:16That experience made me never want to come back to Mexico City.
02:21And I don't think it would have been fair to never come back because this city had been like a
02:27second home to me for so many years.
02:29And I wouldn't be the wrestler I am today if it wasn't for the Mexican style of wrestling, if it
02:34wasn't for Lucha Libre.
02:35Seeing Z come back, man, Z is one of my best friends in the wrestling industry and I almost had
02:41tears, man, watching him do his thing.
02:44DJ Z, who, what a remarkable story coming off of, you know, he had a very unfortunate incident in Mexico
02:50and he knocked on death's door.
02:53Came back and he's fully cleared and back in the ring and he can go and he's very, very in
02:58tune with the Lucha Libre style.
03:00It all kind of takes you back a little bit to the reason why you did this.
03:05And why you started to do professional wrestling.
03:09Lights, camera, action, let's go, let's do this.
03:13I want to feel that grimy rush, that's what it is.
03:16Those guys went out and tore the house down.
03:22Triple Mania had a huge card and one of the biggest matches they had on the card was similar to
03:26what our gauntlet battle royals would be.
03:29Lashley and Moose were a big part of that.
03:32I think Lashley was disappointed.
03:33I think Lashley thought that he was going to be in a world heavyweight title match.
03:37He was not happy about any of it.
03:39When I got out here and they told me that I was going to be in another gauntlet match, the
03:43wrestling business, if that's what they want me to do, it's fine, stick me in the match.
03:46Let me throw all your little guys out of the ring and then go ahead and collect the title that
03:50I rightfully deserve once again.
03:52It doesn't matter who's in this card, but you can bring on all the Mexican legends.
03:56Well, you can even bring on the destroyer walking at me, getting Bobby Lashley.
04:01If he's in my way, I'm going to whoop his because that's what I do.
04:28Moose, this was by far the biggest event he had ever been a part of.
04:32I think Lashley didn't expect Moose to be the actual one who eliminated him.
04:36And whatever preconceived notions Lashley may have had about working with Moose or working together with Moose were quickly, quickly
04:44thrown to the side.
04:45What does Dan Lambert think about you being down here in Mexico?
04:47Dan's pissed because he's been telling me to get away from this thing for a while.
04:51I got a big fight coming up.
04:53I mean, we're scheduling a fight for December, so the last thing I want to do is come out here
04:56and get hurt.
04:57I think that was another reason Bobby was really engaged to go down there and be a part of everything.
05:03He thought that he was going to have a little bit more cards on the table, a little bit more
05:07to gain for himself personally,
05:09to either get in the title shot or get in the title hunt with AAA, and that wasn't in the
05:14cards.
05:14The tensions ran high.
05:16Moose and Bobby have that machismo two-sport athlete that even though they're buddies,
05:22and you can tell Moose is the young stud, and Bobby's the seasoned guy, and Moose has something to prove.
05:29And every chance he gets to do what he does, and when he dropkicked it, him out of the ring,
05:32and I watched that back.
05:34A 6'6", 300-pounder dropkicking a guy over the top rope and getting hype.
05:38He's got—the sky's the limit for Moose.
05:41Look, it's like I'm all the way down to Mexico, and this is what happens.
05:44I get traded by my own—my own teammate from Global Force.
05:48See, that's why I don't—that's why I don't have any friends around here, because of this very reason.
05:52I come out here to win a title, which they know that I'm the only one that is capable of
05:56winning this title.
05:57And then what happens?
05:58I get—I get double-crossed.
06:02Oh, you know what?
06:03That's what he said all about.
06:04All wrestling is for me.
