AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland joins the show this week to talk about his rising success, where he came from, and his title defense at Double or Nothing in Las Vegas against Christian Cage. We hear about Swerve's work ethic and how he tries to take something with him after every match and feud he works. We learn where in part his drive comes from with his military background, and taking the steps one at a time on the path to success. Johnny and Swerve discuss the similarities and differences between the music industry and wrestling, and how patience can guide you and help reach your goals not only in business but in everyday life. A lot of opportunities have come to Swerve through hard work and patience, including a step into Hollywood, so naturally the guys share their guilty pleasures when it comes to movies and disagree on a few.
As Johnny and Swerve continue to break down and discuss the specific steps Swerve took to becoming the first black World Champion at AEW, we get into music and podcasting. Swerve talks about how his hip hop career got started and the hit “Big Pressure” became his entrance music at AEW and what that deal entails. Working with Grammy winning producer Flash Garments and creating remixes with the freedom to release however and whenever, music is not just another room in swerves house but a continuing passion sparking ideas for music videos and keeping a busy man busier. As the laughs continue we get into the Swerve City Podcast with Monteasy and Swerve talking to other wrestlers and athletes, finding what gave them their edge, and sharing stories of wild times in each of their lives. Then Johnny brings it back to wrestling praising the match at Double or Nothing with Christian Cage and asking why Swerve dissed Brian Quinn of Impractical Jokers at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. They also talk about the guy standing next to Q during the match, and who let him into the crowd. Floyd Money Mayweather, Las Vegas, Double or Nothing and much, much more. Cheers!
