Right after college I was ready to move into corporate America. I was moving to LA and was building custom houses out there, like three stories with elevators. We had a few Lakers players move in and the CEO of Snapchat. I was doing that, I was in my trailer and on the job site, and for some reason I always, because him and dad were on AEW and doing their thing. So I just kept thinking of promos or moves or names of stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Austin: \u201cHe would just text me out of the blue like \u2018This would be cool if you and dad did it. But it would be cooler if we did it.\u2019 He was subtly over time just pushing and pushing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colten: \u201cSo I called Rikishi because he has a school out there. I was like \u2018Don\u2019t tell my dad and don\u2019t tell your students.\u2019 But I was going to come in one time to see what it was like. Of course when I got there, I am like a clone of my dad, so everyone knew who I was. That didn\u2019t work very well! So after that I called my dad and I said \u2018Dad I want to try this, I went to Rikishi\u2019s school\u2026\u2019 And he was like \u2018Why didn\u2019t you tell me!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Austin: \u201cHe was heated. We were driving to some town one day and he says \u2018Did Colten tell you he went to Rikishi\u2019s the other day?\u2019 I went \u2018Yeah.\u2019 Then he went \u2018Well why didn\u2019t you tell me! What does he want? Does he want to be a wrestler?\u2019 He started asking me and I\u2019m like I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colten: \u201cSo I took two weeks off from work and went to the Breeze and Spears school, Flatbacks. My dad said \u2018Do you really want to do this? 110%, no half ass?\u2019 No pun intended. So I quit my job in LA and drove across the country and started. In November that will be 2 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>On having a famous dad:<\/h4>\n<p>Colten: \u201cThat\u2019s how I was at first, I did not want to be a wrestler.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Austin: \u201cYeah he ran away from wrestling and I ran to it.\u201d<\/p><div id=\"prowr-758950847\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Colten: \u201cYeah I was like I do not want to do this. Then for some reason I wanted to do this, I just wanted to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Austin: \u201cI was getting more and more texts. Eventually I was like dude if you want to do it then do it, dad will train you.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>On Austin being the MVP of Daily\u2019s Place during the Pandemic Era:<\/h4>\n<p>Austin: \u201cAbsolutely, I am owning that! First I was like, oh I am doing a good job, but now I am owning this one. It\u2019s like on BTE, Nick Jackson said, \u2018There is no crowd, there is just Austin Gunn.\u2019 When I hear that it\u2019s kind of true. Me and dad were there at Atlanta and we thought that we would have to film at Atlanta for the rest of time. We were like oh my gosh. It was very quiet and I was injured at the time, I said \u2018Dad, do you want to just go out there and have some fun?\u2019 He says \u2018Yeah I will go out there with you.\u2019 So I made water bottles with coins in them, I was like dude how can I make as much noise as possible. Just to let our talent and wrestlers know that someone is cheering for them. Fans are crucial in our business, we feed off of them and switch direction based off them. If they can feel something then it will make them feel comfortable. The opening scene to that Atlanta one is a camera right in my face going \u2018Wooaaahh! I love it here!\u2019 People online didn\u2019t know me as a wrestler yet, they were just like who is this annoying kid? I just kept reading terrible comments about me, so I am getting attention. But then every week I would buzz Jamie, our camera guy, and every opening scene was right in my face. Over and over, and when we went to Daily\u2019s Place I ramped it up. And my voice doesn\u2019t give out, I can just keep going and going at like 2am.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colten: \u201cWe did like seven hours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Austin: \u201cYeah seven hours of yelling. Someone from our company said \u2018Well how hard can it be to cheer in the crowd.\u2019 Me and Colten looked at each other and I\u2019m like I dare you to do what we are doing for seven straight hours! Rinse and repeat, match after match. And then we would go in the back, change and wrestle at 2:30 in the morning. When we went out there everyone was like [claps quietly]. I\u2019m like really? This is how we are going to do this? Let me take advantage of what I can do.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>On trying to fill the shoes of The New Age Outlaws:<\/h4>\n<p>Austin: \u201cYou don\u2019t try to fill those shoes ever. That\u2019s always one of those things that dad told us is like, it was never pushed on us. It was never \u2018You have to live up to this level.\u2019 He was like \u2018If you have fun, I will teach you everything you know. If you are just trying to fill our shoes, then get out of the business.\u2019 We still get super nervous before shows, but we just go out there and be ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colten: \u201cI think if we are like, how are we going to fill the shoes of The New Age Outlaws, then you lose sight of who you think you are. What makes you different? The more we are in front of a crowd, the more we find ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>On seeing WWE stars growing up:<\/h4>\n<p>Colten: \u201cThey [The New Age Outlaws] travelled so much, but we would travel with dad sometimes in the summer when we didn\u2019t have school, so we knew all the guys. But they travelled so much that when you are home for like two days, no one is going to come over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Austin: \u201cWe didn\u2019t see Road Dogg as much unless we went to the shows. We maybe saw Big Show more, he gave us our first Playstation and Xbox at Christmas, at the same time. He was like \u2018I have a little present for you, it\u2019s in my trunk.\u2019 He opened it and it was an XBox with 5 games, PS2 with 5 games and he goes Merry Christmas. I think he was the closest one to an uncle. We were on a wrestling cruise one time for Disney, and me and Colten were getting too crowded in the adults pool. There was like a captain\u2019s pool, very private. Big Show took us over there so we could have some privacy. The boat captain comes out and starts yelling \u2018Those kids, you need to get the hell out of this pool!\u2019 Big Show was in the water and have you ever seen those workout videos where the guy jumps out of the water and onto the thing? That\u2019s exactly what he did, as heavy as he was and he grabbed the captain by the collar and says \u2018If you ever talk to them like that again, I will throw you over this boat and\u00a0<em>I\u00a0<\/em>will drive us home.\u2019 The fear in that man\u2019s eyes, dude I can\u2019t even imagine! I would poop my pants.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>On being on TV with Billy Gunn:<\/h4>\n<p>Colten: \u201cWhen he is on TV you are just drawn to him.\u201d<\/p><div id=\"prowr-2540796380\" class=\"prowr-content-5 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_3 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Austin: \u201cHe is more of a camera hog than I am! He tries to downplay it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colten: \u201cThis is the problem, I am the third. You\u2019ve got Austin and dad fighting for this camera and I\u2019m just there.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>On Danhausen calling them &#8216;Ass Boys&#8217;:<\/h4>\n<p>Colten: \u201cWe don\u2019t really talk about that guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Austin: \u201cBleep that out because that is a curse word to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>On the Billy and Chuck storyline:<\/h4>\n<p>Colten: \u201cI was in 5th grade and the teacher I had in 2nd grade asked me \u2018How is your other dad?\u2019 I\u2019m like what?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Austin: \u201cIt\u2019s like when you are talking to a new girl and they don\u2019t know what wrestling is, I\u2019m like \u2018Yeah we went out there, the whole crowd chanted Ass Boys, we hated it and it was crazy.\u2019 Then they are like what? And I\u2019m like oh they don\u2019t know about wrestling. When you are growing up, they would Google dad and it was the Billy and Chuck Storyline and they were like, what? What is this? What are you guys into? Sometimes it is super awkward when you are trying to explain what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Their tag team dream match:<\/h4>\n<p>Austin: \u201cIt would be The New Age Outlaws. Actually no, because dad hits really hard and he beat the crap out of us at practice one day. We were like \u2018Me and Colten are gonna wrestle this new kid.\u2019 Dad was like \u2018Maybe I will jump in and be his tag team partner.\u2019 We are like ok, whatever. Literally a warehouse with three people in Flatbacks, Breeze, Spears and a student. When that guy tagged my dad, I don\u2019t know, but his pupils just went and he turned into a machine. I was like is he going to him me, and he was like right in the nose boom! I get up and again boom! I get up and I\u2019m like do you realize you are doing this. He says \u2018Sorry guys I get a little jacked up in there.\u2019 Dude my nose is bleeding do you not realize? He\u2019s like \u2018No I kind of blacked out, I got the tag and I blacked out.\u2019 Just like boom, psychopath.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-2401076431\" class=\"prowr-after-content
