The Natural

Yeah there is a lot of lore but most of it is just different characters or personas people play. I for example was a guy named Goldust for a good chunk of my WWE career and he had a lot of phases. But really depends, honestly. WWE & AEW do a good job of giving out videos on youtube about history of a character or a current storyline going on right now.

I think it just depends on how you grew up! Growing up, my mom added beans into it, so that's just what i'm use to! But now I'm curious, what do you add into your chili?

Lots of meat and other things. Like good seasoning and not beans. NEVER beans! I don't get why people don't know how to season things or use things like rice or other non-bean-related items.

i've been told i'd be a pretty solid wrestler due to my size alone, but i've been using the excuse that my agent and manager wouldn't let me jump in the ring, out of fear that i might hurt myself. real talk? i'm scared shitless. [ @rhxdesd ]

You want to see if you'd be a really good one? Next time you find yourself in Texas, let me know. I'll close down my school for the day, and I can run the ropes with you. It's all fun and games till you realize it's more than just running ropes and fake punching your way out. Your back is gonna be sore, I can tell you that much.

you know what, you're right. we only live once so sometimes you just gotta say fuck it, and do some crazy shit. if i get in trouble however— it wasn't me, i didn't do it, and no one saw nothing.

We aren't always given tomorrow. So say fuck it! Whats that saying? Its better to ask for forgiveness then permission. I don't know who you are or what you did. That good enough?

you'd think after about five albums, i'd have the patience to sit through the whole recording process.. i get an idea in my head and i just want to get it out there. i suppose i'm just impatient. i just want to release a song or two already. it's been too long for my liking since we last released anything. at this point i'm convinced it'd be more fun to just leak them and deal with the consequences later. ╱ @limelightblvdstarters

they actually cut themselves?? that's... intense. here i thought you guys had little packets of fake blood hidden somewhere and you used that when you could. i guess we all do crazy things for what we love so that applies double for everything you all do. who knew that jumping off things was the least of the dedication? i think i got the main idea. similar to what i figured but i know there's always different circumstances and moments. it's good that the refs have your backs, too.

It's a real science behind it. Before I left the WWE I did a little backstage work and its hard. It's hard to balence what everyone wants vs what storylines are to be driven. it's a hell of a thing to do and I give Triple H & Shawn a hell of a lot of credit for running the shows like they do.

oh my gosh, dustin! i'm sorry, but i also had to laugh at this, too. the funniest part is that she probably won't even know how much she hurt your ego when she's older. you're not ugly, i just don't think she's used to seeing you. sounds like you need to make multiple visits over there to really solidify that you're their uncle (or a monster under their bed).

I thought we were friends Jessica! Noooo! Not you too. Ugh! I wish it was that easy to make the trek over to see her! It's hard I'm prepping to get back to work so I been so busy here. Damn. I guess I gotta go be big Uncle Dustin... or Liberty, 'cause Cody calls me Chicken. Big old Uncle Chicken.

just how scripted is wrestling? i know that what you all do physically is far from fake but so is it really just the results that are? is there ever a time when things can change in the spur of the moment or is that really only the case when there's something like an injury? @rhxdesd

So you are correct, it's scripted in the results. But also sometimes? When does a wrestler bleed? He's cut themselves with a blade. Like, for example, when my brother got the literal shit beaten out of him when Randy lifted up the steel step when he put it down on him, he didn't actually slam it on Cody. He did it quick enough so Cody could do what we call blading. Which is when you cut yourself for it. Or when they get pushed into an exposed turnbuckle, which also causes bleeding. It's also scripted in the fueds. For example, there are a few people I have fought with over the years who were the heel or the bad guy, and we feuded and fought and even had bad backstage segments, but when the cameras weren't rolling, we were/are friends. Some people, though, like Seth Rollins and Phillip, aka CM Punk? Their hate is in and out of the ring. And yes! Things change spur of the moment all the time. If someone gets badly injured, the ref will get a message from Gorilla or backstage saying make so and so pin to win, so they can get them off the mat and get checked on. We also have had accidents where wrestlers will get hurt outside the ring. Be it they fall or they hurt themselves in training so we will rehash things.

Thank you! Nah! I wish it was just because I'm busy! It's because I'm part of the other company! AEW....and because i chose to stay when Cody came back to WWE I'm now considered public enemy number one. It really sucks we can't publicly post things when we are together. Like for Christmas this year Brandi and him had to edit me out of family photos becaucse...god forbid I"m seen with someone whos the face of WWE. I think the last photo we took was at my house and I posted it not him.
