Enzo is draw whether you like it or not the man can cut amazing promos better then about 80% of wrestlers in the business today just cause the guy isn't flipping and flopping in the ring doesn't mean people won't pay some damn good money to see him
@@browniebrownz5421 no one draws its modern wrestling you twit. He writes out his promos and they are annoying. Not entertaining. Hes untalented and an annoyance in the locker room.
@@jlv6118 so I guess Jericho and moxley hasn't been putting eyes on njpw as a product and haven't been a draw for that company? Pretty stupid comment as for enzo when he was with cass they were the hottest team in wwe got the biggest pops and everyone praised them as soon as reports came in about other guys having heat with him in the locker room like clockwork you see all the Mark's online trashing the guy wouldn't suprise me if you were one of those guys too
Ross you're interviewing has progressed so so much recently well done. So many questions that are just organic and interesting and different from the usual stuff we get to hear from wrestlers. Keep up the fantastic work
Tama is such a nice and humble man. You can tell he loves his career but more importantly, he is grateful for having the chance to talk about the business he was born into. I hope njpw pushes him to the moon.
@@caitkirkpatrick9552 I would hope so too, but at the same time I wouldn't want to take him out of a good thing to begin with. As much as I'm absolutely made up for Kenny and the Bucks, I really haven't been grabbed by anything they've done in AEW yet, which is a shame because Kenny in NJPW had me tuning in at every possible opportunity. From a purely selfish point of view, I wish he'd stayed there as champ. AEW are doing a good job overall, but that doesn't mean everyone who goes there will hit the mark.
To be honest I never watched a match with Tama Tonga or have otherwise followed him. Just heard from Jack how awesome he was during their visit of Japan. Now after the video I think I am a fan, really cool guy.
One of my biggest wrestling pet peeve is when a wrestler is running the ropes and their opponent bends over to set up a back body drop only to get kicked in the face. Not sure why, but it bugs the piss outta me!
Disagree with Kickpads, they're cool and protect the opponents I'll also explain the last part about the pass by, it's like someone dodges a fast running opponent who was going for a shoulder block
Tama is the coolest chilliest dude I’ve seen in wrestling. Some people think he’s an asshole, but bro is just doing his job. Real cool dude. I enjoyed this 👍🏽
Ive never seen Tama talk in and interview like this , Ive watched TONS of him and his brothers matches though . Excellent in ring and now i see how cool and down to earth he is outside the ring too . I got no problem with kick pads tho !!!! I see your point tho as well ! haha
Tama Tonga is one of my favorite guys to watch. He's so agile and KevinKelly put it best that he's a great 'defensive' wrestler because his counters and reversals are so crisp that he almost looks like he's setting guys up for a trap. He's a treat to watch and he'd be a great singles star if he ever wanted to step in that direction.
I briefly went to a high school outside of Orlando in in Florida. We had a combined concert with the other schools in the area and my pointed out Haku in the bleachers. Just looked it up and Tama and I were born in the same year, so he must have been in one of the other bands. Cool.
Fuckin almost lost it watching Coco, amazing movie Bu I was so damn mad that Your Name (Kimi No Na Wa) wasn't nominated for the best animation Oscar that year Lol Thanks Tama for reminding me of this embarrassment
Heh, living in Japan myself, some of Tama's choices are majorly relatable. The long flights ain't fun at all - I wouldn't fly home unless I get 2 weeks off minimum. Only time I flew back and forth in one week was for my brother's wedding, and I got sick after that! Convenience store food is... OK - wouldn't send it to hell myself - but yeah, it ain't the best for you! Go with the onigiri (rice-balls), safest bet! So Richard's comin' over here, huh? Wonder if he's gonna do the English teacher bit - it's the go-to job if you're from the Anglosphere.
I too wish it became more of a debate again, but I can't say that this wasn't the most pleasant and cool Straight to Hell in awhile. Tama's just a sweet dude and you can tell he loves and appreciates the Cultaholic boys.
@@ItDoesntMatterReally Oh I'm definitely a fan. But for example, there could have been a bit more banter with the kickpads section of the interview with the old buzzer.
Reminded me of Hogan & Randy when Macho Man called him out & he had all the excuses, offered to write a check to the children's hospital himself, but he honestly & obviously did not want to see Randy. He knew Randy really had them hands & it would've gone from a match to a shoot real quick. And that's why Zo don't want none of Tama, he know that Tongan blood would massacre him. Tonga a veteran in wrestling & ACTUAL war. Zo can't wrestle & he ain't been no where close to war. Hell, he been Tekashi69'n out here the past couple of years. Not the snitching part, the trolling & acting hard when he not part. "Yeah, me & Cass (my 7ft friend that makes me feel oh so safe, I just love him. He's almost as big as my mouth) went to MSG to see (a.k.a jump two men who just wrestlered a grooling match with 6 other men) the Briscoe boys & we jumped the rail &kicked their assess. And Tama Tonga just mad cause he was too pussy to do anything. (more like couldn't believe what he was seeing & didn't know if it was a work bcz we all know you're a struggling clown since the circus dropped you. And, of course, the man didn't say or do anything until after the fact when he got back to the locker room & realized/it set in that the jig was legit & yo disrespectful punk ass not only disrespected those men by jumping them but also disrespected every wrestler in that match/on that card by stealing their hard earned & hard fought moment. Disrespected the fans by injecting yourself in the show they paid for since no one was paying to come see you away from the ring. That's why some of them fans tried to put hands on you.) Now Tonga Moana Tampon wants to wrestle (which I barely know how to do), no bro, not unless it's in my own ring, for my brand (....new Sam's Club box[ing ring] of Fruit Loops that I've been interviewed in the past 5 times) & in my venue, no promoter could pay me to wrestle with you, bro (bcz I'm not going to embarrass myself [further] like that.) I'll give (a.k.a borrow to give) 25k to my own (barely existing) charity. But you don't deserve a match with me. I've already paid a due to wrestling by making Haku's son famous by giving him attention. That's enough, Haku. I'm done". Nzo needs an N'ima bcz he full of shit
Tama always seems like a class act outside of his in ring persona, and Ross once again bringing out the best in his guests, keep it up lad!
So tama stopped enzo from getting booked? Put the world title on him, give him a raise, give him everything. He saved njpw.

Tama Tonga proving once again how much of a chill guy he is. This feels like such a natural interview.
Genuinely fells like a conversation
Man, this dude travels back and forth from Japan 24 hours at a time so his wife can be around family and have help with the kids. What a guy.
We need more Tama Tonga and Cultaholic work. Did Tama get a hold of Jack at all?! Lol
Jack: Guerrilla tactics it’s time for warfare. Yo we came to battle yo we came to win. *EH UH EH UH EH UH EH UGH!*
I also miss it
Maron Kingston aim to killlllllllllllll
Never seen someone smile this much on this series.
Tama Tonga is a real nice guy
First tama Tonga next minoru suzuki book it Adam
And who's the poor guy to receive the beating?
Tom he’s so nice that even Suzuki wouldn’t lay a finger on him
@@user-cx1kb4jr4t jack ofcourse
@@cassio8315 You underestimate Murder Grandpa's thirst for violence. Not even Tom is safe.
Ross you're interviewing has progressed so so much recently well done. So many questions that are just organic and interesting and different from the usual stuff we get to hear from wrestlers. Keep up the fantastic work
And meant to say as well it always seems like the wrestlers want to speak to you and enjoy speaking to you
Tama is charismatic as hell and out of character comes across as such an awesome dude.
Tama is such a nice and humble man. You can tell he loves his career but more importantly, he is grateful for having the chance to talk about the business he was born into. I hope njpw pushes him to the moon.
When he said "And then I went to Boots" for a second, I thought he meant the chemist. All that talk of Wetherby Services earlier threw me off.
I actually read this comment at the exact right moment in the video 😂
Tama Tonga's laugh is surprisingly infectious, and for someone in-between two long flights he's in good spirits. Overall, a very pleasant interview!
I really REALLY want to see GoD in AEW. Those two would be YUGE gets.
I was so hyped to see Karl Anderson in WWE... Careful what you wish for!
leerobbo92 yea but aew not a shit/ a joke like wwe is
@@leerobbo92 I think AEW would have more respect in how they brought in GoD compared to how WWE treated Karl.
@@leerobbo92 Ain't that the truth!
@@caitkirkpatrick9552 I would hope so too, but at the same time I wouldn't want to take him out of a good thing to begin with.

As soon as Tama said hot oil, it reminded me of Kaz mentioning how he used to wear hot stuff
The way Tama says 'oh shit' repeatedly is very relatable, haha!
Ain't nobody realer than a diddler
So that's the lyrics from now on then.
Fucking love Tama Tonga. This interview just secured that even more for me.
To be honest I never watched a match with Tama Tonga or have otherwise followed him. Just heard from Jack how awesome he was during their visit of Japan. Now after the video I think I am a fan, really cool guy.
Tama didn't screw nZo. Enzo screwed nZo.
With all the wrestling content i constantly watch on youtube , how have i never seen this series on my feed till today ??? Binge watching now !! lol
Hopefully we get mentions of Simon and nZo

Well Whatculture definitely liked the title of the video🤣🤣
Arland Jenkins tama and wc had a little “feud” a while ago
Love hearing about the travel issues for some NJPW wrestlers and hearing different wrestlers in different companies.
G.O.D. is one of my favorite tag teams of all time! Great look(s) and talent
Ive never seen Tama talk in and interview like this , Ive watched TONS of him and his brothers matches though . Excellent in ring and now i see how cool and down to earth he is outside the ring too . I got no problem with kick pads tho !!!! I see your point tho as well ! haha
One half of one of my favorite teams. Tooooo Sweeet. G o D vs Uso anyone?

Looking forward to this.
Tama Tonga is a really good dude! Love the content Ross and cultaholic 👌🔥

He always seems like a lovely chap!
OGBC.
Tama Low key looks like a yoga instructor
Damn i was hoping for a brilliant "my dad is harder than your dad" story from Tama. Literally he could Knowingly say "No He's not"
He always comes off as just a genuine great guy
Both men are absolute legends!
Don't watch NJPW so I wasn't gonna watch this. Glad I did. He seems like a nice/chill dude.
Tama is such a fucking amazing human, its so good to hear him just shoot the shit
Tama is always great to see. Well done Ross.
love Tama man, nice and chill guy like always
Tama could be the coolest heel and top star of any company.
God I love Tama! Seems like a lovely bloke and one of my favourite heels in the world today
Oooooohhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiiit. Love this guy
Fuckin almost lost it watching Coco, amazing movie
Bu
I was so damn mad that Your Name (Kimi No Na Wa) wasn't nominated for the best animation Oscar that year
Lol
Thanks Tama for reminding me of this embarrassment
The pass by i think is the Lucha pass and i used to use it before i was able to leap over duys running at me.

I love Tama why because he's doesn't like Adam Wilburn and that always a plus in my book👍
Tama's such a cool down to earth guy
Weatherby services are legit the best service station in the UK. Down there every time we go south.
Tama has a contagious laugh
You are the host, you have absolutely every right to be a gatekeeper.
I too wish it became more of a debate again, but I can't say that this wasn't the most pleasant and cool Straight to Hell in awhile. Tama's just a sweet dude and you can tell he loves and appreciates the Cultaholic boys.

Dream match: Tama Tonga vs Jon MOXLEY
That was amazing
Sohinki looking real jacked, baby
Omg dude
Me: skips intro out of excitement
Also me : Hold the fuck up, let us do this right

This is probably the most likeable wrestler I've ever seen😂
I was watching some old ppv and I seen your guys sign that said join us Lmao
just seems like the coolest, most down to earth dude!
Last point: Tama shoots on Taguchi. Heel by nature.
Tamara is one the few guys who I can like and know is a good dude out of the promotion and still fucking hate him when's hes in kayfabe.
Damn tamma is surprisingly laid back
probably one of the friendliest guys ross has ever done straight to hell with!
would love to see stu bennet (wade barret) on this
I'd love to see NJPW vs AEW
I want Tama Tonga Vs Roman reigns career on the line match
Think they're kinda too early in their careers too have that match that match is more meant for people round takers age
Not sure about the stipulation but like the match haha
that was bloody lovely
Very much enjoyed that
I love Tama!! This is awesome
What a lovely bloke!
Tama is so fucking cool
Tama Tonga is the fucking shit !!! 🤘🤘
Googled Mark's and Spencer's and looks legit
Tama seems like the nicest guy ever
It’s really difficult for me to watch “via satellite” videos where the guest isn’t in the same room.
Me too. But this isn't really that bad. They're not interrupting each other and there aren't any awkward pauses. It's fine.
As long as we get these I can deal with it
So far, only 3 👎. I'm guessing it's the 3 Adams from WhatCulture.
I love Tama!
Yes please!
GoD AEW!!!!
damn, i freaking love tama
Tama looks like the nicest guy to talk to, if he likes you atleast 😂
THE GOOD GUY!!!!
The passer by is known as Lucha Pass in wrestling
Tama is so cool!!
Tama seems like such a nice guy
Missed an S-bomb at 22:57. Available for rough edits...
I hope the kick pad thing was a gag
It's 50/50. Serious, but in a joking way. For example, he thinks Samoa Joe _without_ kickpads would be weird.
Lol just a couple of old buddies catching up, it seems.
Tama is a great bad guy!
Whatta good guy!
I suppose you could Weight the kickpads
This one good
it weird seeing Tama as regular guy. like GoD and Haku are SCARY ASS DUDES so it weird lol
Good guy tama tonga.
Seems like a cool fella
Why isn’t this man in AEW?
