i know today is tuesday but TPRP is all available to your listening pleasure and our guest? none other than @poppindawgs! we (i hope it was mutual!) had a blast talking about tag teams, mothers and wrestling veterans. here’s a sneak peak! 💜
LW: Welcome to the Pod. Hopefully you’ll feel comfortable talking about wrestling and fashion. Because speaking of fashion, you’ve had many tag partners and/or stable mates. Do you feel like matching gears makes a tag team taken more seriously?
TB: “I guess i am a tag team whore, throughout my career,” he says, chuckling, rubbing the back of his neck. “i have been in four different tag teams and I guess i’m showing my age here but tag teams just look better when they match. it doesn’t have to be identical, there are ways to throw your own style in it. For example, my knee pad. It used to be Bill Murray’s face, then it was Chuck Taylor’s, now it’ Don’s. There’s always a way to let your personality shine in your gear.” twiddling his thumbs as he continued. “As for taken more seriously … maybe. It definitely helps more than it hurts… the designs have to be cool in order to be taken seriously, but i think that goes with any wrestler nowadays.”
LW: In a more serious question or not, answer it as you see fit but many see your wrestling career so far as a tag team specialist. Do you think that hurt your chances to be more successful as a singles competitor?
TB: Trent bit his tongue, trying to figure out the proper way to phrase this “I mean, there are many times throughout my career where I tried to break out into the singles space, and tried to get a run going. In FCW, which then led to me getting paired with Croft. Then they tried in New Japan when Rocky thought he was going to retire for two seconds. I got a really good match with Kenny out of it, but, there was a big BOOM in tag wrestling at the time, so… it wasn’t the time.” His leg began to bounce. “Then, when I turned on Chuck and Orange, we were going to feud, but then Orange tore his pectoral, and I started teaming with Rocky again … it’s just kismet, God’s telling me I’m meant to be a tag wrestler.”
LW: Are you okay with your mom being more loved and possibly more popular than you? And no, this question is not to be a trauma dumping answer…
TB: “You can’t ask someone to not trauma dump after asking such a loaded question.” He smiles. “She loves the attention. She loves posting baby photos of me and embarrassing me. She’s just proud of me, and I know it comes from a good place, but like, what grown man wants to be associated with their mom? Turning heel on her was fun though, ten outta ten.”
