That's impressive"?

Yeah.

So, um, I wasn't really too aware of the independent scene before I, uh, I started training.
7:33
So I feel like before I started training, I was a fan of like Triple H, Randy Orton, like very, very standard people, you know, that everyone loves.

Then I started training and, uh, I got introduced to New Japan.
7:47
Uh, and New Japan was really kind of the first, I, I don't wanna call it indie, but like first...
7:53
Well, it is a major promotion, isn't it? Like the first major promotion other than like WWE, AEW, TNA, that I kinda fell in love with, and that was mainly down to Will Ospreay because as I, I seen Will Ospreay on this, on this grand stage at like Wrestle Kingdom doing all these incredibly impressive acrobatic flips that kinda like you're questioning yourself like, "How does he do that?" Like, how, how is he able to do that and make it look so smooth? And he was the first guy that really captivated me.
