It kind of came out of the blue but they told me, \u2018Look, we haven\u2019t got funding yet or approval for a season five but we want a big finish to season four and we\u2019ve got some ideas. We\u2019ve been building this character, this mythical character for a little while and we think you\u2019d be the perfect fit for it. Here\u2019s what we\u2019re suggesting, we\u2019ll film it, we\u2019ll put it out. Hopefully we\u2019ll get funding for the fifth one but we can\u2019t guarantee it. What do you say?\u2019 And coincidentally, I was gonna be in L.A. when they were filming anyway so I agreed to do it. It was a very short film cycle. I think they needed me for about three or four hours just to film that little segment so I went and did it and unfortunately, it seems like Lucha Underground is done and dusted now. Maybe it\u2019ll come back one day but the plan was that I was gonna be this kind of character who was controlling an army of guys. I think they were gonna call me The Lord. The Lord of Wrestling or something like that and I was gonna be controlling these guys who were gonna come in and take over The Temple and attack everyone. A bit like my Nexus days if I\u2019m quite honest with you. It sounded a bit like that so who knows where it could\u2019ve gone. I don\u2019t think the idea was fully fleshed out but, that was the rough pitch that was given to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>The difference between working a WWE Studios film versus an independent film:<\/b> \u201cI think the biggest difference really between something like <i>Eliminators<\/i>, which I think I shot in 2015 or \u201816 \u2014 the biggest difference is probably my experience level now is higher, and that not only improves my performance as you would expect but it also gives me confidence to make certain suggestions to directors and producers about the script, how we should change this, how this scene isn\u2019t working whereas when I did <i>Eliminators<\/i>, I simply did what I was told. I was very much in that WWE wrestler mindset where, \u2018Here\u2019s your orders for the day. You have to follow them and don\u2019t deviate at all from what you\u2019re doing\u2019 and that was very much how I had to wrestle at the time and how I was told to wrestle at the time so, now I have a bit more freedom in my life and I don\u2019t have this oppressive force telling me, \u2018No, you can only stick to this very fine pathway that we\u2019re giving you.\u2019 It allows me to look at scripts and make suggestions and make tweaks and things like that so that\u2019s probably the biggest difference in my mind. In terms of budgets and things, we\u2019re working to very similar budgets. These aren\u2019t the big Hollywood blockbusters, hundred million budgets and crazy casts that you would get from Hollywood. It\u2019s definitely indie film and I think that gives you a very different flavor in the film. I would compare it to, if you\u2019re a fan of WWE wrestling, that\u2019s the biggest and most expensive production in the world, and a lot of people love that but there\u2019s also something to be said for the smaller independent companies like, for example a PWG, who got huge in the past and that is a very different feel. It\u2019s obviously lower budget but you get something very different from that-that you don\u2019t get from the bigger guys like WWE so it\u2019s just a different flavor of ice cream as they like to say in the pro wrestling world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Stu says he gets more excited doing commentary than he did being in the ring:<\/b> &#8220;I absolutely do because my favorite part of being a pro wrestler was the occasions where I got to tell wrestlers\u2019 stories rather than just having random matches with a guy and doing moves that doesn\u2019t mean anything. That\u2019s never appealed to me and a lot of pro wrestling these days unfortunately has become that. It\u2019s a stunt show at times. So now, whenever I\u2019m commentating, no matter what match is going on ahead of me, it\u2019s up to me to add some color to the match and add some storyline and some narrative and get excited about it and I can\u2019t help but get absorbed into these matches and feel like I\u2019ve become a part of it and I\u2019m telling these stories for them so, I love doing it. I think I\u2019ll be doing it for a long time, and I hope to see my career with NWA progress.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sLw7zhkW4q0\"
