Okay? So I need to know from both of y'all, when did you get bit by that wrestling bug? And can y'all tell me y'all welcome to wrestling moment? The moment where you were like, "All right, yeah, this is what I'm doing for the rest of my life."

Uh, shoot.

Uh, the wrestling bug? I mean, I'd say I caught it, uh, when I got recruited out of college.

Um, got recruited, tried out, and then it was just one of those things where I got tired of doing homework and this provided me the opportunity to get out of school and stop doing homework.

Uh, that was when I caught the wrestling bug there, and then my welcome to wrestling moment, woo, man, you know what? I got to say, the first time I went outside the country, like, uh, it was Download Festival 2016.

Um, we went there and like there for 10 days for the European tour and it was like the dopest thing I've ever seen in my life.

And it was just like, oh, I get to do this, and I've been doing this ever since.

(laughs)

Hey, look, they was

hooping.

Look, man, the defense just wasn't there.

It just wasn't meant to be for the defense, bro.

Like, if they were... subpar if we would have made the playoffs.

They were historically bad, but maybe it was the scheme.

They were talking like it was the scheme, so we'll see.

What were y'all's welcome to the WWE moment?

So I say, that's one of the moments I got a whole bunch more, but I ain't trying to take up all y'all time and everything.

I got a couple as well.

Shoot.

Even like, because obviously I tried out before him.

So started and tried out in 2012.

And, you know, like college kid, I ain't got no suits, nothing whatsoever, bro.

I'm strictly sweatpants, house shoes, hoodies all day, every day.

But you ain't no slouch

But you ain't no slouch either, boss.

Man, dog, it's weird how I got in the business.

Like, uh, so I played football at Harper College.

Uh, I was going there strictly for football 'cause I wanted to go D1, so like, I was just focused on that.

It was a JUCO, so just trying to get my feet wet and like get out there and try to go D1.

So, then obviously like a bunch of heavyweights got hurt on the wrestling team, or they either got hurt or they quit-So, the wrestling coach came and like tried to get me to wrestle.

And when I wrestled in high school, I had to cut weight to 215.

Mm-hmm.

What do you think about their future, uh, moving forward next season?

I think the future's bright.

Obviously, um, the Bengals have done something that they normally don't do in spending money.

They signed both Jamar-...

And T. Higgins.

You know, we already knew Ja'Marr was going to get his bag.

They had a chance to re-sign him last year, and they didn't.

Why are they dragging their feet on this signing if he's the best defensive player that the Bengals have?
