WWE Smackdown at The Dunk

STATION FOX PROVIDENCE OR FOR
MORE INFORMATION, HEAD TO
WPRI.COM.
IT'S THE RETURN OF W.W.E.
SMACK DOWN.
TONIGHT, IT'S
JOINS US THIS MORNING.
GOOD MORNING.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
GREAT.
INTERNATIONAL HEAVYWEIGHT
CHAMPION, PART OF THE IRISH WHIP
WRESTLING.
WHAT'S THAT?
IT WAS PROMOTION IN DUBLIN,
IRELAND.
IT WAS A TRIBUTE TO DON AMANI ON
THE ROPES.
WE CALL IT THE IRISH WHIP.
I STARTED SEVEN YEARS AGO AND
FROM THERE WENT TO ENGLAND AND
EVENTUALLY GOT SIGNED.
IT'S BEEN A CRAZY, CRAZY CAREER
SO FAR, IT'S BEEN FANTASTIC.
JOIN US TONIGHT.
HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR AN
EVENT LIKE THIS TONIGHT?
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE
DIFFERENT WAY TO SAY PREPARE AND
A LOT OF PEOPLE LISTEN TO MUSIC
OR SKIP ROPE.
I LIKE TO STRETCH AND GET MY
HEAD TOGETHER.
I STILL DO GET NERVOUS WHEN I
GET OUT THERE.
ESPECIALLY GET THE JITTERS WHEN
YOU WALK IN WITH THE LARGE
CLOUD.
YOU HAVE TO BREATHE IT IN AND
BREATHE IT OUT.
WHEN YOU GET INTO THE RING,
DO YOU LOVE HEARING THE CROWD
SCREAM LIKE COMPLETE MANIACS?
DOES THAT GET YOU PUMP?
ABSOLUTELY.
THE CROWD IS AS IMPORTANT TO THE
SHOW AS WE ARE.
WE LITERALLY FEED OFF THEIR
ENERGY AND PASSION.
TO ME, LIKE BACK IN IRELAND,
FOOTBALL IS A BIG THING THERE, I
MEAN SOUTH CAROLINA, BUT NOBODY
IS AS PASSIONATE AS THE FANS AT
THE W.W.E.
YOU SEE THE SIGNS THEY BRING TO
THE SHOWS, THEY ALL DRESS UP
LIKE THE SUPERSTARS, WEAR TEE
SHIRTS.
IT'S VERY, VERY PASSIONATE.
BECAUSE WE'RE IN AN AREA WHERE
WE'RE KID FRIENDLY, I SEE KIDS
WITH SPRAY-PAINTED RED HAIR,
SPIKED AND BEARD AND SHIM MUST
STUFF ON THEM.
IT'S GREAT.
WE'RE A FAMILY SHOW AND GREAT
FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT AND
TONIGHT, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE
GIANTS I'LL BE TAKING ON TO
MASKED WRESTLERS, DANIEL
CAIN.
I WAS LOOKING ON LINE, HE IS
7'1", WEIGHING 440 POUNDS.
DO YOU EVER JUST GO WHY AM I
GETTING IN THE RING AND WHY AM I
DOING THIS TO MYSELF?
IT'S LIKE TRYING TO PICK UP
AN ESCALATOR.
YEAH, I HAD A LOT OF DREAMS WHEN
I GOT HERE.
I DIDN'T JUST WANT TO BE A RUN
OF THE MILL SUPERSTAR.
I WANTED TO BE A VERY SUCCESSFUL
ONE.
SURE.
I WRESTLELED DANIEL BRINES,
RAN DOUGH OTHER TO KNOW, BUT I
NEVER FACED AN ACTUAL LIVING
GIANT BEFORE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I'M MORE OF A BRAWLER, BUT
I'M LITERALLY GOING TO HAVE TO
BE ON MY TOES, BECAUSE IF HE
GETS AHOLD OF ME, I'LL BE LIKE A
CRASH DUMMY IN THAT RING.
THIS BAD BOY RIGHT HERE IS
DEFINITELY AT RISK TONIGHT.
COULD I AT LEAST HOLD IT UP
AGAINST YOU?
MAN, THIS IS HEAVY.
THIS IS THE CLOSEST I WILL
EVER GET TO THIS.
I'M GOING TO PUT THIS RIGHT
HERE.
TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE?
TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE.
SHOW KICKS OFF AT 7:00, DUNKIN'
DONUTS CENTER.
ALL YOU CAN THINK OF.
NICE!
NICE!
MAKE SURE YOU MAKE IT OUT.
I'M JUMPING OFF THE TOP RING
TONIGHT.
UNLESS YOU TRY TO PICK UP A
GIANT.
W.W.E. SMACK DOWN IS TONIGHT
