00:00.000 --> 00:02.000
You

00:31.000 --> 00:39.440
I think the thing that's most captivating about pro wrestling is the suspension of disbelief

00:50.200 --> 00:55.640
The cross-section of the type of people that come to the show is so wide and very

00:56.080 --> 01:01.640
It's a masculine version of soap opera, I guess you could say

01:03.800 --> 01:08.120
It's a very like clear crystallize good versus evil

01:12.120 --> 01:15.920
We think that Milwaukee is weird it's wild it's fun

01:16.200 --> 01:20.800
How could we take something that we grew up loving and how could we give that back to the city?

01:20.800 --> 01:29.560
live from the Turner Hall of all-room and beautiful downtown mil walkie

01:29.560 --> 01:31.560
I

01:50.480 --> 01:57.240
Had a little bit of a sense of what the world of pro wrestling or creating a wild variety show

01:57.680 --> 02:00.960
Would be but until you do it

02:09.880 --> 02:15.200
The day of the show is always nerves, you know if you've been married and you have like your wedding day

02:15.440 --> 02:17.440
It's almost like ten of those

02:18.000 --> 02:20.520
All at once. I'm a school teacher

02:20.760 --> 02:23.200
So a lot of times the shows are on a Friday

02:23.200 --> 02:29.680
I'll be teaching from eight in the morning until 11 30 and then I leave and come to the venue

02:29.680 --> 02:35.320
Good to see you. Thank you for being here. I think one of the best things you can do is kind of like turn your brain off

02:35.720 --> 02:38.280
It's like a variety show with violence

02:40.240 --> 02:43.520
There's kind of cartoon characters that are coming to life

02:45.360 --> 02:48.200
Some of our biggest characters are the beast

02:50.800 --> 02:53.800
He was kind of like our mascot for many years

02:58.800 --> 03:04.040
And he was just a throwback to an old school tough brawling masked wrestler

03:05.800 --> 03:08.640
Wacky you somewhat superhero named red Goldstein

03:11.000 --> 03:19.220
There are so many fantastic and cool characters and great wrestlers throughout the world that we need to showcase these people in the lucky

03:20.520 --> 03:22.520
I

03:38.360 --> 03:46.200
Have a lot of gratitude for what the people of Milwaukee and these audiences have kind of given back to us over the years

03:46.680 --> 03:52.440
That's my favorite thing that I hear about the show is that there was someone that was not quite sure what this was

03:52.440 --> 03:57.160
Those people end up becoming the loudest most like unhinged fans in the crowd

03:59.880 --> 04:06.280
Mondo Lucha is it's the inside of my brain. It's the inside of Andy's brain. It's the

04:07.360 --> 04:15.720
craziness of Andy and I and the weird ideas and the thoughts and the things and how can we bring something so wild and

04:16.640 --> 04:18.400
To our show

04:18.400 --> 04:20.080
I'm able to

04:20.080 --> 04:26.440
Give them like the most fun night of their year and this insane party and something you'll never forget

04:27.240 --> 04:29.560
I you can't do much better than that

04:46.200 --> 04:48.200
You
