D'Lo Brown's head shaking origins, Droz, DX mocking The Nation, AEW - Interview from May 2019
D'Lo Brown joins Chris Van Vliet for this conversation in Dania Beach, FL. This interview was originally posted to YouTube on May 21, 2020, but this is the first time it has been made available on the podcast! We are taking a few days off for the holidays, so I thought it would be interesting to take a look back at this interview with one of the most recognizable faces from the Attitude Era. D'Lo tells the hilarious story about how he started doing his trademark headshake, his feeling after paralyzing Droz, where Aces and Eights rank in the greatest wrestling factions of all time, whether he was offended by the blackface when DX mocked The Nation of Domination, and more.

Cody Rhodes: How much has AEW changed since the first show - Interview from May 2019
Cody Rhodes sits down with Chris Van Vliet in Miami, FL in this interview that was recorded on May 22, 2019, just three days before AEW's inaugural event, Double or Nothing. We are taking a few days off for the holidays, so I thought it would be interesting to take a look back at this interview which released on YouTube only. Cody talks about a lot of topics for the first time like the fact that Dynamite would be a 2-hour show, how wins and losses will matter in AEW, whether or not they will have pyro, what the AEW World Championship would look like (because at this point it had not been revealed). It is fascinating to listen to this a year and a half later knowing what we know now. I hope you enjoy it!
