    That 2K mocap thing was a bombshell to me, that's super cool! The animations really have improved in a major way in the past several years and it's really cool to know that Eli had a part to play. I've seen Eli wrestle live in Windsor on multiple occasions and he's always one of the highlights of the shows. I wish him nothing but the best!

    I remember I watched this when this came out, not too long before Covid. I'm glad to see where he is now in 2023 after seeing that he was questioning his wrestling career earlier. Hard work sometimes pays off.

    2 minutes in, I don't know how you do it but I love how you make your interviewees so chill and comfortable and talk/treat to you like you've been friends for a long time.

    Man, when he was talking about how he doesn't know what's next, I could sense he was feeling the pinch of being so good at what he does for so long but just not getting the kinda break that would push him to the next level. That is something all of us who come from nothing really can feel and relate to. I hope to see LA Knight in the bright lights of WrestleMania soon, lifting the WWE Championship and fulfilling what he has deserved for a long long time.

      Do you know why Eli's whole thing works so well? Most of what he does is off the top of his head/unscripted as he said in the interview. WWE doesn't really give their talent the option of doing unscripted promo's anymore, they would ruin him. He even said he don't know if he can even do a scripted promo because it feels so unnatural for him. He needs to go somewhere that he can do his thing without being limited by scripts. MLW, AEW, NWA Championship Wrestling, ROH, NJPW, ICW, Progress, WoS, anywhere but WWE. I'd even go as far to not include ICW and Progress since their WWE partner's, but since they aren't ran by WWE, Eli would have the option to not sign a WWE contract and stay with them.

    TNA/Impact has done so well creating stars out of people that aren't really too big in pro wrestling that it is beyond shocking how hard they failed with Eli Drake.
    The guy could have easily replaced main event guys like EC3/Lashley once they left. For whatever reason, Impact always kept him in the midcard for others like AA, Del Rio, and Johnny Impact.

    Eli Drake carries a gallon of water to the ring instead of a bottle water to make Triple H moves..😂

    • @derek-64
      @derek-64 5 лет назад +1

      or say there's a match and he smashes the gallon of water on his opponent and drenches them, or he could take a quick sip and then smash the gallon over them.

    Everyone's going on about Eli Drake going to AEW or NXT and while I do think he probably will, I think he'd possibly be a nice fit for the NWA.

    Some interviewees are just true entertainers, and an interview this long with someone that isn’t truly entertaining, would be like getting a tooth pulled. Eli Drake is the man, great job CVV.
