From watching this interview, you wouldn't think that this man is one of the best to ever do it. His psychology, pace and in ring story telling is absolutely riveting. His journey is quite understated for how good he is. Jay White vs Kota Ibushi at wrestle kingdom was ABSOLUTELY awesome.
Man, as an aussie who's spent most of his life in NZ this guy makes me so damn proud, he's a massive star in the wrestling scene and it's so exciting to follow his journey. It's so inspirational when you're on such a remote country to see him become successful in the wider world, gives me hope.
He’s the reason I’m going to start watching AEW again. They lost me this past year but now that Jays there I’ll watch. He better get plenty of mic time too although I don’t know how they’re going to squeeze that in with MJF, Jericho, BCC etc
Jay White-oOoOo! Love how he switches it on as soon as Christopher Daniel's name comes up. Fascinating to see how far he's come from his days regularly wrestling David Finlay as a young lion. Great job as always, Brother C.V.V.!🤘🏼
Awesome. Jay is a talented dude. I remember 1st seeing him in ROH, and being impressed at the match he had with Jay Briscoe, but he really drove home how talented he was when he had his match against Will Ospreay in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, I believe. That match was crazy. He done some amazing things since, and came into his own as a top heel for NJPW. Glad to see him find so much success.
I hope Shawn Michaels sees this and knows that he somehow inspired this kid from new Zealand his first time in the states and sees Shawn Michaels get inducted into the hall of fame and goes "yea nah I'm gunna do this!" And now he's leader of bullet club in NJPW
Love Jay's story. It's nothing as glamorous as his, but I left retail after over twenty years with NO solid backup, a house payment/bills & family to support, & no prior experience other than retail management. I was DONE. My wife believed in me & I knew I could do SO much better. I had taught myself how to repair old video game consoles in my spare time & that came into play during a job interview for a company. Now I have an awesome job that pays me what I'm worth & literally INVESTS in me. I've gotten to travel, experience so many new things, & have a certification with HP. The last retail job I had, I was TWELVE years in. It felt INSANE to just quit. I did put my two weeks in, but that was my window to find a new job. And I couldn't have found a better one for me. I'm so happy now. There comes a time when you have to bet on yourself.
In New Zealand one of my friends said wrestling isn't big in New Zealand they're rugby , cricket and field hockey people play most so what Jay white achieved as a wrestler where wrestling isn't in culture is remarkable.
Jay is carving out such an amazing legacy. Seriously one of the best all round heels currently going. From promos to in ring. Cannot wait to see the heights he reaches.
Jay white vs Ibushi at wreslte kingdom this year is one of my favorite match of all time, it's even better than their previous 5 star match in the g1 climax 2019 final
Jay White, To me, Is one of the handful of guys you sign and build your company around for the next 15 years. I hope to see him in AEW some day soon, Along with Will Ospreay, Zack Sabre Jr. & Katsuyori Shibata.
Love this guy, He is the best heel in-ring worker, because when he works on a body part he works on it from bell to bell and keeps going back to it when he wants to gain advantage over his opponent, Brilliant wrestler, and the promo he cut on impact, saying "so many fans love bullet club and are even mimicking it" which he was referring to the Elite, that was refreshing, and I might have got the exact words of the promo wrong cause I'm paraphrasing, but I'm very much correct on the meaning of the promo.
Aew now has .... Bryan Danielson , Cm punk , Chris Jericho , MJF , Jay white , Hangman page , Adam Cole , Jay White , The house of Black and ...Kenny Omega ....... What an Era !!!!
@@DutchRd nah mate, I mean Jay White could come into AEW to butt heads with the Elite while Adam Cole is trying to make it his own faction, adding wrestlers from NXT. The bigger storyline would see White engaging with Cole, knowing that Omega is gonna be out for like 6 months recovering. The beef between White and Cole could start in AEW and see multiple talent from both factions crossover between AEW Dynamite, AEW Rampage, and NJPW Strong. When Omega returns, I expect to see a major faction war because of all this!
My favorite in-ring guy and the best promo in the world, in my opinion. Jay can go as far as he wants to go in wrestling. He's the best in the world to me.
Great interview. I feel where Jay was coming from about ppl knowing the dirt sheet reports and letting dictate their experience, as a wrestling nerd myself, I do listening plenty of wrestling content daily and it does taint the experience knowing backstage info and discrepancies that may occur outside of the in characteror ring work, but the news is everywhere nowadays. And I don't propose avoid, because I love it, I like knowing about the behind the scene info, I do for the movies and series I like to. So it's hard to dispend belief when it doesn't go the way previously predicted, but it's also satisfying when it does. So idk I'm kinda between a rock and hard place, because it could be maybe more of gratifying experience if I didn't know, but usually wrestling pretty much formulaic outside of the few things that get leaked through the internet, which peak my interest, like the CM Punk coming back and Bryan Danielson going to AEW brought me back to watching wrestling gave me a renew vigor of passion for it. Again great interview, bro. Keep it up.
Jay White VS Kota Ibushi is my favourite all time NJPW Wrestle Kingdom main event. Jay has mastered the art of evoking emotions and his high calibre wrestling abilities into a strong on screen presence in New Japan. I love his journey through New Japan from a young lion to a IWGP World Heavyweight champion to a Heavyweight Grandslam champion.
Really great interview Being a kiwi u always mark out for a kiwi doing gd . Back when I was watching hogan ,hart then seeing the bushwackers appear in that promotion. Yeah rugby and league are big here but there is some great independent promotion here liked ipw in Auckland which I watched from the start to spw that making waves atm . Jay white and the fellow kiwis in njpw keep flying that flag for us and hopefully fale can put a show on in Auckland 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
Great interview, basically knew Switchblades story but its great to hear it again...if you can't be inspired with his story there's something wrong w/you.
I remember seeing Jay White vs Jay Briscoe when he was on excursion to ROH. Briscoe hit him with everything in that match. I think it ended in a draw. After that match he just looked like a star.
I kinda agree with Jay about not wanting to know what is going on like contracts and stuff... I personally really like to know things after the fact like if I notice someone isn't on TV for a while then I would go and look it up
Since wrestle kingdom 16 is a month away and el phantsmo teasing that jay may get kicked out of bullet club if he does not appear at wrestle kingdom 16 and even hitting jay’s finisher the blade runner in his one of his matches in the best of the super juniors and world tag league tour.
@@sepiarain We seen phantsmo do the styles clash I don’t think he’s ever done a bloody sunday which was devitt finisher and I have seen him hit kenny’s v trigger and try to do a one winged angel and when he turned the one winged angel in a blade runner I POPPED.
4:13 I had the same happen for me but it was an NXT event in wellington and it would've been my first wwe show I went to but then there was a massive earthquake and it was "postponed" hasn't been back since.
This can't be right.... Am I a total failure as an Internet nerd? How could I have missed this video?!? I watch all the CVV content. And it's Jay White. . .. ... It had to have been private until after a storyline played out. ..... (Blame everyone but myself) 😂
I don’t know why but I always thought Jay was way older than he is but now which his look having the beard makes him seem even older. It feels like he’s been around for over 20 years but it’s barely been a decade since he even started wrestling
Leave a 🤘 if you thought this interview was too sweet!

amen brother. This man is the best right now.
@@FrankVillegas I agree!
Imo he’s the best wrestler in the world today
And finally an interview with Jay white 🙌 👏 🙏 😍 😌
Mad respect for Jay White 🙏💪🏼
Jay White is such a true one 👌 talking about giving young Christopher Daniels a chance and maybe putting him over? Mannn...what a legend Jay is! 🤘
I found that so funny
Man, as an aussie who's spent most of his life in NZ this guy makes me so damn proud, he's a massive star in the wrestling scene and it's so exciting to follow his journey. It's so inspirational when you're on such a remote country to see him become successful in the wider world, gives me hope.
Always chase your dreams man
Jay white is the reason I keep watching any wrestling! He's so entertaining!

i've been waiting for this to happen for awhile now FINALLY!
Really hope NJPW do a show in NZ sometime, headlined by Jay White, of course.
Glad you finally FINALLY gave us the interview with my man switchblade jay white! This guy is absolutely awesome
Thank you for this wonderful interview! Thanks Chris.
And thank you for watching it, Ryan!
since the Forbidden Door has been opened, I want to see Jay White vs Adam Cole!
THIS INTERVIEW IS TOO SWEET 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Jay white vs Ibushi at wreslte kingdom this year is one of my favorite match of all time, it's even better than their previous 5 star match in the g1 climax 2019 final
I don’t think we’ll see a better match in the next decade. I don’t know how they managed to top their G1 Final match!
@@Alex-cs9ty we will, no doubt on that just look at how many amazing matches we had in 2021
Holy shit! You got the Switchblade on there?! #ChrisVanVlietGOAT 🤘
Jay's story is incredible
I have been waiting for this forever. Jay White is my favorite wrestler. Thank you so much.
Jay White, To me, Is one of the handful of guys you sign and build your company around for the next 15 years. I hope to see him in AEW some day soon, Along with Will Ospreay, Zack Sabre Jr. & Katsuyori Shibata.
love what jay white is thankful for.
This is one the best wrestling interviews I have listened too. Hats off to the both of you and to Jay White.

Aew now has ....
Bryan Danielson , Cm punk , Chris Jericho , MJF , Jay white , Hangman page , Adam Cole , Jay White , The house of Black and ...Kenny Omega .......
What an Era !!!!
Just clicked on the vid can't wait to listen to this jay white is so cool
I saw him standing after an ROH event and almost every day I regret not walking up to him
I've been waiting for this interview for such a long time! thanks chris great job!!
MJF had his cerebral smackdown with Punk, Darby and of course Jericho....let's see him try to get into the head of the Switchblade!
Fucking Cinderella story. Jay White is such a hard worker.
Switchblade is in my top 5 favorite wrestlers of all time and he's also the youngest on that list.
And that coming from a 25+ year fan of the art.
We need Jay White to show up on Dynamite to fight the Elite...and bring the Bullet Club with him if they try to gang up on him! #TooSweet 🤘
It would of made sense if Kenny wasn't hurt. But it'll be good if Jay,Tama,Tanga Lo and Hikuleo show up on AEW anytime soon.

Big fan of Jay's! Looking forward to watching this one!
My dream interview for you. I was hoping this would be who it was!

Saw this episode pop up on Spotify but just had to wait for the video release 🤘
You finally interview the Best Wrestler in the WORLD!! 🤘🏻🤙🏻
Man, next to the Karrion Kross interview, this has gotta be my fave. Those are real truth talkers in Jay White and Kross. Inspirational
Jay White is the bomb.
Really great interview

I have been a fan of his since his excursion days
One of the best heel in the world since years
KING SWITCH THE TRUE ELITE TRIPLE BEAM CHAMPION !!
This interview is great
Thank you Jay!
I remember seeing Jay White vs Jay Briscoe when he was on excursion to ROH. Briscoe hit him with everything in that match. I think it ended in a draw. After that match he just looked like a star.
Breath with the switchblade. Jay white is fucking awesome.
Now this is an interview I wanted to see. I know next to nothing about Jay White,!
Gunns up… always rooting for Jay
Breath with the switchblade !!!!!! Awesome interview
Only been wrestling since 2012 ridiculous how good he is
Mad respect for Jay White
There’s no such thing as luck. Everything happens for a reason.
I kinda agree with Jay about not wanting to know what is going on like contracts and stuff... I personally really like to know things after the fact like if I notice someone isn't on TV for a while then I would go and look it up
Jay is great
Switchblade all the way.... he's living a kiwi wrestling dream
I’m happy I got to see Jay white go up against AR Fox and Billy Gunn.
*Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever*
How have I only just come across this???
Sorry, Chris 🤦🏽♂️
Since wrestle kingdom 16 is a month away and el phantsmo teasing that jay may get kicked out of bullet club if he does not appear at wrestle kingdom 16 and even hitting jay’s finisher the blade runner in his one of his matches in the best of the super juniors and world tag league tour.
Phantasmo had Desperado hooked in the OWA, and decided to do the Blade Runner instead... amazing.
@@sepiarain We seen phantsmo do the styles clash I don’t think he’s ever done a bloody sunday which was devitt finisher and I have seen him hit kenny’s v trigger and try to do a one winged angel and when he turned the one winged angel in a blade runner I POPPED.
Well after listening to this I hope Jay comes back to Ireland and brings some Bullet Club friends with him
Jay white is different 🤘
Listening to his story makes me like Jay even more. Great journey :)
Christopher Daniels was my second ever MLW rivalry. The other one (Raven) got settled years ago.
Been waiting to long for this one 🤘🤘 #WeLoveSwitchblade #CVV #JayWhite
He was cracking jokes on Tanahashi but who better to put you over than the Ace. Great interview 👍🏿
4:13 I had the same happen for me but it was an NXT event in wellington and it would've been my first wwe show I went to but then there was a massive earthquake and it was "postponed" hasn't been back since.
Jay white could be a top guy in wwe or aew, without a doubt.
SWITCHBLADE!!!!!
i hope to get an action figure of jay white one day soon!
Holy shit the manspreading on that dude hahaha! Classic. I love it. No fucks given.
This can't be right....
Am I a total failure as an Internet nerd?
How could I have missed this video?!?
I watch all the CVV content.
And it's Jay White. . .. ...
It had to have been private until after a storyline played out. .....
(Blame everyone but myself) 😂
🙏. Jay white!!
I loved to a match between him and buddy Matthew's
Brilliant wrestler
Tony Garea from Auckland, NZ is the most famous, in my opinion.
Petition for a kenny omega/jay white match to happend
久しぶりにジェイの笑顔をみた✨
日本語に翻訳してほしい
Get the whole bullet club for an interview
Danielson vs Switchblade pls. ❤️
TONY Garea was a New Zealander.
Crazy how fate comes calling.
Chur the bro rep New Zealand with the Bullet club
Jay I think your the worlds best bro 😎
A New Zealander by the name of Pat O'Conner was a pretty handy Wrestler 🤔😉
39:41
That comeback 😂
We need some timestamps 😢
🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Why isn't Jay White on Wrestle Kingdom night 1 or 2?
I just looked at the card for WK16 and can't see him there. Whats going on with him? I haven't watched NJPW in awhile.
I don’t know why but I always thought Jay was way older than he is but now which his look having the beard makes him seem even older. It feels like he’s been around for over 20 years but it’s barely been a decade since he even started wrestling
WWE wants him badly!
