I need to see a Raw Vs Smackdown war games match. Team Pierce Vs Team Aldis. Book It Papa H.
Loved this interview! Great job as always.
I don't know if you can but an interview with Jim Johnston would be epic.
When I see Adam Pierce the first thing I think of is "Ben Hurt" …..LOL
I'm 58 and I was raised on Captain Kangaroo!
I remember watching him wrestle during his NWA/ROH run and saw him like a cross between Harley Race and Triple H. I went to many of the ROH shows that he booked as his time there rejuvenated my love of wrestling. It’s good to see him as GM and producer.
That "Love Somebody" perspective is really an eye opener. I needed to hear that
Adam Pierce is a legit dude
If you’re reading this, have a great day. & if that’s not a great feeling, congratulations, you can also read ❤
Very very humble and genuine person. A person who you want to be friends with for life.
So. Never made a comment. This is best interview ever.
If Regal isnt saying WARGAMES!! It's gotta be Adam
Bad timing on firing Bobby Lashley 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bobby Lashley was NWA Southwest champion 2 straight years before losing the title and going to the WWF
everyone has a story that needs to be told if you do write one i would love a copy of it so i can add it to my book collection
I think both Adam and Nick are the right men for the job
They will make it, Survivor Series..GM vs GM
I loved seeing Adam Pearce in Metro Pro. To me the greatest indy of the Midwest.
Can someone explain, When talking about Brock, Adam says, "I'll get light for you." What does that mean? Does he do a little jump? Does he not eat all day? Does he make his body super rigid?
"I stabbed a man in the heart." "I saw that. Brick killed a guy! Did you throw a trident?" "YEAH!…"
Really hands on. Legit 5 time 5 time 5time 5time FIVE time nwa champion
Give us Pearce vs Aldis for the #1 draft pick for any future draft. 😂😂
Strange that you don’t bring that time Pearce roasted Ronda Rousey
That man that approached him was Mark Henry 😂😂😂💪🏾💪🏾
Adam's segment beefing with Rhonda in the ring was iconic.
Jesus loves You and I. Jesus died on the cross for our sins so we would not be slaves to our sin. Jesus rose from the dead and Jesus will return so repent of your sin and walk with Jesus❤
I'm happy WWE has good authority figures now. Having the authority figures be despised just didn't work. That puts the heat on the authority figures and not the heels.
If you're going to say it's all about winning Otto Graham is the greatest. Brady lost headsup to the most retarded Manning twice and Nick Foles in the superbowl. You don't get to do that and be the GOAT.
NWA British Commonwealth Heavyweight Champion, 5x NWA World Heavyweight Champion, and Mr. Pearce was the presenter when Owen Hart got into the 2018 George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Love ol' Scrap Iron!! Also, always great to see a fellow Waukeganite, make good! Awesome interview!!!
46:20😂
grew up in kansas but i remember watching the Red Green Show all the time canadian rednecks lol …
He's a goof.
Hes smart. He gets it. There are so many people who dont understand not everyone can be the main star. When you watch a movie or a tv show, 80 or 90% of the people you see are supporting actors. Too many fans complain that so and so isnt being pushed. You cant push everyone. Most of the roster are there to support the main stars, and thats ok. Thats the job.
So one time I texted adam Pearce bcs I watched czw vs roh cage of death match , and i was like holly shit that's adam pearce and his answer was duh😂
Let’s go
So well spoken
Pearce is a great guy. I did the music for his and Cabana's 7 Levels of Hate DVD and his ROH Theme Song. He was nothing but great to work with!
Pearce reminds me of my middle school principal when he’s on screen in wwe just annoying and don’t let anyone have fun XD
I can see a survivor series match or wrestlemania match between team Raw vs team Smackdown as pearce and aldis as their respective captains, if WWE dont capitalise on the history thats there then they have fumbled this potential story so baddly
I’m torn… I’m still on the Jinder Interview so slow down a little on the uploads but at the same time keep them coming. I want more but can’t keep up and I love it
Its Monday night raw let's go
