those are clearly the mannerisms of someone who cried behind the scenes and was just sad
this guy was trying so hard to hide his hurt but he could not… he looked like he was ready to breakdown multiple times
R.I.P. Thank you for all you did!
There's a lot of damning comments about the WWE here. Andrew didn't look like he was addicted or struggling with his health at all. If you plan on taking big digs at one of the most powerful companies out there, you better expect the company to reciprocate.
Sad. Seems like he just wanted to escape those things and knew it might have cost him everything.
He practically told us why he had to die! slow people
Very surreal he really wanted to get out but 😢 the lord plan wad the one done.. rest in peace.
This was a good interview. Gone to soon. Rip. 🙏🙏
The business chewed him up n spit him out. But it’s nothing new.
Oh my gosh… He was only 33!?
Man, this is heartbreaking. He has an innocence about him, hard to describe.
The manner of his discovery was oddly enough, very similar to a 1950's radio suspense thriller called "The Thing in the Window."
You can find it for free on YouTube.
Great wrestler though. He died far too early. RIP.
Damn.. he did join that club 🙁
He sounds like one of those dudes that spoke against the business. Now hes gone. Coincidence?
Cry for help
😯OMFG THAT WAS SOOOOOO REAL/SURREAL BRO!!!😲
It appeared as though he started sweating through the interview (he wasn't in the beginning) out've NOWHERE I wonder why that was?
Was it bad health or drugs??
Or had he simply just been working out/training just before he got interviewed???
🤔🤔🤔
He did seem off
💀😯AND THE COMMENT HE MADE ABOUT TAKING HIS FOOT OUT'VE THE GRAVE CHILLED ME TO MY BONES BRO!!!😲☠️
☹️Dude should still be here with us😭
🙏RIP Test🕊️
This is my first time watching this interview, it's weird it just popped up, today is 15 years since he died and this is just so sad. You can just hear how burned out he is on the business and oxy is a scary thing.
I had no idea he passed away. Sad to hear it. 😢
What a waste great looking guy such a shame he went way too soon.
Test was the only guy who could make a big boot look legit enough for his finishing move
Its really chilling, sad, but also nice to see he got everything off his chest and basically gave his last fairwell at peace. Not everybody gets that opportunity. But it is crazy how many questions were foretelling the future. Get some well needed rest big guy R.I.P
Seems he had enough of the wrestling business and moved on to a happy place. It’s hard for athletes and artists to move on to something new without regret.
RIP Andrew,, 🙏
Happy this interview exists, sad it's his last one. 😢
Damn this is sad asf to watch. I’m glad that he was able to give us a podcast type interview before he left, truly ahead of his time. Growing up I definitely had a Test action figure, and I enjoyed watching his fued with Lashley in ECW. He definitely had one last great run in him, I think in the years of 2012-2020 he could’ve made an impact on that roster. What makes this even more heart breaking is from what it seems $$ wasn’t an issue for him, so he could’ve easily enjoyed life after WWE unlike some of his peers.
I really enjoyed Test as a wrestler
He seemed like a good dude. It strange how he talks about Vince pulling strings and you do what he wants you to do. But I always found it curious that Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin, The Rock, John Cena, CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, Jericho and even LA Knight actually got themselves over by driving Vince insane, saying they didn't want to do what he wanted them to do, until he gave in and let them come up with their own thing. I think a lot of performers were intimidated, and didn't want to say no. Meanwhile I think he always invited wrestlers to say no, as long as they had a better idea. I think every performer, including Test, could have done that, if you think about the fact that CM Punk and Vince never got along at all. But he eventually turned Punk loose, because he drove him nuts demanding to, and then it was clear his ideas began to immediately smell like money.
@09:07 I hate to say it im at that point in my life now. Can honestly say video games are pits.
Guess im a boomer officially…
Omg he was 32
Heard he was too stiff in the ring
This guy was actually one of my favorite wrestlers
This is so sad, rip
32 years old.
Vince would of had him killed he kills the wrestler's that dont do as he wants, or kills them for what they say about him or what they know about him hes a billionaire he can make people disappear but not forever, test said all the things that Vince would of hated, Vince tells all the wrestlers to protect the business don't say its fake and don't mingle with the other side as in no heels mingling with baby face's,
As a wrestling fan as a kid to now the Test and Stephanie thing is why I never liked HHH
9:18 somebody called him a rat, that could be a clue
It was him for Steph, before HHH stepped
in and was more accepted by Vince
😢All Respect and Love Bless your Soul God is with you.
Drugs are a motherf*cker
If you one of the fortunate guys you can make a ton of money and walk away from wrestling one day rich and health fairly decent like hulk hogan but majority don't get that lucky most sacrifice their body and in the end they come out broke
Sabu hates this dude
Sad man, he was a good wrestler and shouldn't have finished himself. May he be in peace 🕊️ today wherever he'd be 😞👍
He sounded like he was a pretty good dude who had his life sorted out out only to pass way too young like so many other people in the business such a shame
