I actually met Rowan and Sheamus at a Dennys in Sacramento. Rowan is NOT a small man lmao I was actually lowkey afraid to approach their table cause 1) they were having breakfast and didn’t want to be rude and 2) Rowan sitting down was almost eye level to me lmao. A friend of mine at the time walked up and asked Sheamus “are you Sheamus from WWF” you can tell he was annoyed but Rowan never uttered a word
Yep same. As much as I didn't like Bray's later work, I appreciated him for all that he presented to the outside world and that Bray was above all a great dude, a great friend by all accounts and an oddity.(a good thing I'd say) I don't know what people's beliefs are but I hope he's at peace. He will be forever missed by those closest to him and the people he presented with his creativity, the fans. Sorry I don't mean to be sappy.
I had the privilege to meet this dude at a WWE event because I had the VIP Experience ticket. Dude is as nice as a gentle giant could ever be. Chatted about some rad metal bands we're both into for a few moments and got to see him in action later that evening. Really good guy, down to earth. He deserves a lot from the business he's in.
Sad to say but once Bray passed, I was hoping you would score another interview with Erick Rowan, bring some closure to this whirlwind. I still can't believe he's gone.
I've been saying this for years, Rowan is a solid big man wrestler. I loved when he got his time to shine when he broke away from Daniel Bryan, he proved he can be intimidating and that he is comfy on the microphone. Big fan.
Putting together a faction of Erick, Braun, Karrion Kross, Scarlett, and Alexa being led by Uncle Howdy would be such a dream come true for both the industry and the fans, and a true way to honor the legacy of Bray
Man I don’t know why, but that how are you doing near the beginning made me tear up. With Chris everything is genuine and that is what makes him the best. Erick was one of my early favorites when I got into wrestling, and my heart has been breaking for him for the losses he’s had to endured. Nothing but love and respect to both of you, awesome video
I've loved Erick since the first time I saw him with the Wyatts. Then I saw him wear a Heilung shirt on WWE television, and loved him twice as much as I did before.
This was a great interview, Chris. Erick Rowan is such a genuine and humble person. I really enjoyed hearing his stories about Bray Wyatt and Brodie Lee, two of the most talented and creative wrestlers of our generation. It’s heartbreaking to lose them both so soon, but I’m glad that Erick has found peace and happiness in his life. He deserves all the success in the world. I hope to see him back in the ring someday, whether it’s in WWE or AEW. He has so much to offer to the wrestling industry. Thank you for this insightful and emotional conversation.
I need to see Rowan and Strowman back as The Wyatt Family to represent both of their fallen brothers because they are the only two who remains as the original members of the family so yeah I think it would be great to see them back together as The Wyatt Family to honor both Bray and Luke
We need podcasts/programs like this that aren't covering the main event stars, but rather give us an insight into those who don't get the most screentime. They always seem to have the most interesting stories
The one house show I’ve ever been to, the thing that stood out the most was just how big this dude was. He dwarfed everyone else in size and stature and presence.
Best podcast I've ever watched love Joseph love u Chris this was the best the part about him telling us to be ourselves really hit me because I am often times not myself but this helped thanks Joseph thanks Chris
I want Rowan and Braun in tag team contention Raw or Smackdown.👌 Great interview, Chris! I genuinely think you are the best in your field at what you do. I never lost interest, this thing flew by🔥
Went to high school with Joe/Erick. While my interactions with him were sparse he was always super chill and a genuinely nice guy. Nice to see he hasn't changed
You are my favorite and thee best wrestling interviewer.. you have a way to connect with them and a way that they open up to you in a great way .. and you a great person also so I bet they can feel that and feel vulnerable enough to share enough with you .. thank you for your interviews
It’s crazy how life and death is so unpredictable for everybody but we still as human beings live life like we are untouchable and invincible. Nobody will ever be able to replace Bray Wyatt. His created something special for himself, he was very appealing you were glued to the tv when you are home.
Saw this guy eating breakfast next to me at a restaurant in my hometown was too scared to say hi though haha - I knew it was him though, but just figured I shouldn't disturb him while the man's eating breakfast
Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me, but man Erick was really breathing kinda hard during this interview, please God bless and keep this man safe, he already lost his brothers
No matter what promotion you show up for next Erick, I'll be keeping up with it. Loved your time in WWE and AEW but you deserve a spotlight for yourself one day. Underrated talent and well deserved of a main-event title reign sometime.
Got to admit I didn’t realise how tall he was .. he’s massive 😮 No one should have to go through losing two best friends within a few years , not at there age. Heart breaking
I know people like him just never get to heal especially always having to answer about bray and brodie nonstop which sucks. But i know he knows thats what people are going to want to know for many years to come more then his personal life.
That AEW tribute to Brodie Lee was amazing but the cherry on top was Redbeard coming out. My wife and I popped so loud the neighbors heard lol. As a fan of Amon Amarth, i loved his cameo in Get in the Ring!!!
This really hit me especially the part at the end about health “without health what do you got” damn thats so true..Joe is super cool and i hope he does well in all of his future endeavors. Thanks for the video Chris!
This conversation was hilarious and I'm so glad Chris asked about his favorite horror movies. Rowan has great taste, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Halloween 3 are masterpieces
If there is any way that Erick Rowan can get back in WWE, and team with Braun Strowman and win the WWE Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania 40 for Bray Wyatt, that would be amazing.
On the point of characters vs real names, A LOT of fans do not know wrestlers real names. Actors names are listed on the movies. You have to go out a search for a wrestlers real name and most ppl don't bother.
I think the reason why some people have trouble discerning the wrestler from the person is that for the most part wrestlers go by their wrestling name everywhere in other media a lot of times unless they use their real names. And some people for whatever reason, especially in this day and age, thinks that means wrestlers are always on and don't respect boundaries and privacy.
That's actually been his character for years. Look up Eli Drake. You'll see clips of him in TNA/impact and Billy Corgan's NWA having the same exact gimmick.

Good work as always.

I feel really bad for Erick he's lost both Bray and Brodie in such a short amount of time
We gotta protect Erick and Braun at all cost
Sacrifice
@@johntitor7357Totally agree. Windham's passing is still hurting me.
@@realKratos667 same
For real.
Such a humble guy! I found it very classy of the WWE inviting him on the show when Bray died😢 RIP
Yep same. As much as I didn't like Bray's later work, I appreciated him for all that he presented to the outside world and that Bray was above all a great dude, a great friend by all accounts and an oddity.(a good thing I'd say)

Sorry I don't mean to be sappy.
Rowan seems like such a good dude. I know he’s doing it tough losing two of his wrestling brothers, hope he gets to a better place.
100% agreed.. I wanna give him a big hug
@@deathmauler181Me too bro..❤
Give that like button a big Spinning Powerslam!
Chris is a great interviewer, love how he lets them talk and doesn’t try to be the center of attention

This was probably my FAVORITE interview you have done!!! I love Erick even more than I did before
Man I miss the Wyatt family sucks we will never get to see a reunion 😔
Same
Erick and Braun could work as a tag team in honour of the Wyatt family
@@johntitor7357 Hey...I like that idea!
@@johntitor7357 And you could add Dexter Lumis or Kross
@@johntitor7357With Uncle Howdy (Bo) as a leader?
CVV is absolutely killing it right now with these interviews. Please never retire bro🔥
It's just so tragic. Bray was my favorite especially it hurts so much and it's still unbelievable.
I've been saying this for years, Rowan is a solid big man wrestler. I loved when he got his time to shine when he broke away from Daniel Bryan, he proved he can be intimidating and that he is comfy on the microphone. Big fan.

I like Joseph hes quiet but seems like a really lovely guy
Rowan is such an introspective person

Love you Rowan, just want you to know that Big Man. You're truly so thoughtful, smart, caring and talented. We've always got your back Redbeard 🤘

Eric is so intelligent and funny he seems like a big teddy bear the fact he chose not to fight that guy shows what kinda human he is
He seems incredibly wholesome and nice ,the kind of person you could talk to forever about anything.
I can't wait, this is going to be a sad painful interview 😢
Wyatt family 4 life
We need to see him get a good run in WWE one day !!
Whyyyy because of the loss he has went through?
Or maybe because we like him😅@@kvinche8120
Poor Guy. Losing your two young Friends in a timeline of not even 3 Years is horrible to imagine.
I need to see Rowan and Strowman back as The Wyatt Family to represent both of their fallen brothers because they are the only two who remains as the original members of the family so yeah I think it would be great to see them back together as The Wyatt Family to honor both Bray and Luke
Yes pls
The original Wyatt family consisted of Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, & Erick Rowan. Strowman didn't come in until 2 years later
I have been anxious to see & hear this interview! He's such a strong person losing 2 people so close to him in such a short period of time!
This is going to be good
We need podcasts/programs like this that aren't covering the main event stars, but rather give us an insight into those who don't get the most screentime. They always seem to have the most interesting stories
The one house show I’ve ever been to, the thing that stood out the most was just how big this dude was. He dwarfed everyone else in size and stature and presence.
I hope they bring him back for the Wyatt 6
Best podcast I've ever watched love Joseph love u Chris this was the best the part about him telling us to be ourselves really hit me because I am often times not myself but this helped thanks Joseph thanks Chris
Bray Wyatt is forever ❤
Met him at a wrestling show last week, he is absolutely huge but such a nice guy.
I want Rowan and Braun in tag team contention Raw or Smackdown.👌 Great interview, Chris! I genuinely think you are the best in your field at what you do. I never lost interest, this thing flew by🔥
nice to see him back .
Rowan is just such an awesome guy he is so humble and down to earth
Went to high school with Joe/Erick. While my interactions with him were sparse he was always super chill and a genuinely nice guy. Nice to see he hasn't changed
You are my favorite and thee best wrestling interviewer.. you have a way to connect with them and a way that they open up to you in a great way .. and you a great person also so I bet they can feel that and feel vulnerable enough to share enough with you .. thank you for your interviews
Erick Rowan is so awesome I miss him so much in the wwe 😢. R.i.p bray and Brodie
My favorite episode in the last 6 months buddy!
It’s crazy how life and death is so unpredictable for everybody but we still as human beings live life like we are untouchable and invincible. Nobody will ever be able to replace Bray Wyatt. His created something special for himself, he was very appealing you were glued to the tv when you are home.
I've been seeing him in TV shows like a mayor of Kingston a small but it was a good role for him
21:21 this is crazy. Why would someone want to pick a fight with Rowan. Dude is so humble and down to earth.
People pick fights with people everyday. That’s the way people are.
Chris, we need another interview with this guy now that The Wyatt Sicks are here and wrestling again.
This guy is so humble
the last thing he said really show how awesome this guy his! I hope to see him on a wrestling ring again someday
Dude after I paid attention to Rowan’s face, he looks really similar to Jason Stratham.
Clones. Maybe DNA brothers.
Absolutely love this! ❤
Rowan would be an awesome addition to the Viking Raiders if he ever returned to WWE
I don't know if you knew this but he was called Erick Rowan because when he was first in FCW he was a Viking.
Yeah I heard that in the interview. That's why I was saying he'd be a great addition to the Viking Raiders.
We miss you big guy, would love to see you wrestle in AEW.
Met him at Blizzard Brawl in 2022 and he was such a cool dude. Super nice guy and very approachable
protect this man at all costs
Y’all quick with the shorts! Made me come here!! Keep up the phenomenal work!!
He needs to come back to WWE man
erick is such a chill guy
Saw this guy eating breakfast next to me at a restaurant in my hometown was too scared to say hi though haha - I knew it was him though, but just figured I shouldn't disturb him while the man's eating breakfast
Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me, but man Erick was really breathing kinda hard during this interview, please God bless and keep this man safe, he already lost his brothers
What an intellectual inspiring dude wasn't expecting that out of him. Great episode to you, Chris, as always.
Hope all is well Chris! Looking forward to this one! 🤘🏻
No matter what promotion you show up for next Erick, I'll be keeping up with it. Loved your time in WWE and AEW but you deserve a spotlight for yourself one day. Underrated talent and well deserved of a main-event title reign sometime.
Watching this today, so happy for Rowan
19:49 When I was in junior high school more specifically seventh grade. There was a Dean he was about 6'8" weighing close to 300 pounds.
Got to admit I didn’t realise how tall he was .. he’s massive 😮
No one should have to go through losing two best friends within a few years , not at there age. Heart breaking
What a soft spoken man. Great interview as always!
I know people like him just never get to heal especially always having to answer about bray and brodie nonstop which sucks. But i know he knows thats what people are going to want to know for many years to come more then his personal life.
I have never clicked on a video faster. BIG RED ROWAN!!
I got so pumped when I saw him as a character on Mayor Of Kingstown last season
That AEW tribute to Brodie Lee was amazing but the cherry on top was Redbeard coming out. My wife and I popped so loud the neighbors heard lol. As a fan of Amon Amarth, i loved his cameo in Get in the Ring!!!
Not a giant Rowan fan but enjoyed the interview.
Man I truly like his singles push at the end of his career I thought they could have done something
Love watching his interviews
He was my favorite wrestler at one point
Thanks for this!
This really hit me especially the part at the end about health “without health what do you got” damn thats so true..Joe is super cool and i hope he does well in all of his future endeavors. Thanks for the video Chris!
This conversation was hilarious and I'm so glad Chris asked about his favorite horror movies. Rowan has great taste, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Halloween 3 are masterpieces
Protect this man at all costs
We should have a braytt family documentary
That promo on Raw, hopefully Rowan will get a chance to shine
40:19 Joseph Ruud is very well spoken
Chris ACDC made the music for Maximum Overdrive but everyone should watch much love my dude!❤💯
I don't know what Erick's feelings are with today's WWE, but I would be floored if he and Braun Strowman formed a tag team and had a title run
He was actually the dancer at the Gentlemen's club
Wyatts ❤
If there is any way that Erick Rowan can get back in WWE, and team with Braun Strowman and win the WWE Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania 40 for Bray Wyatt, that would be amazing.
Wwe should have Braun, Bo, and rowan as a faction in honor of bray. But have Bo as Uncle Howdy and be the leader.
That's exactly what I did on wwe 2k23!
Funny. Not more than a couple of moments before you mentioned how well he speaks, I was thinking the same thing.
Great interview Chris!!
On the point of characters vs real names, A LOT of fans do not know wrestlers real names. Actors names are listed on the movies. You have to go out a search for a wrestlers real name and most ppl don't bother.
Guy seems like a well spoken gentle giant of a human
I think the reason why some people have trouble discerning the wrestler from the person is that for the most part wrestlers go by their wrestling name everywhere in other media a lot of times unless they use their real names. And some people for whatever reason, especially in this day and age, thinks that means wrestlers are always on and don't respect boundaries and privacy.
Exactly
Incredible episode! Ty CVV!
You didn't ask THE MAIN question to erick about if there is any plan to bring braun + him and uncle howdy together as an honour to bray and luke :(
Hopefully 🤞 you can overcome your trauma and know that Brody and Bray are with you
That's actually been his character for years. Look up Eli Drake. You'll see clips of him in TNA/impact and Billy Corgan's NWA having the same exact gimmick.
This interview was Sad 😢…. But but to see how is Eric Rowen as a person 🫡🙌🏾🙏🏾💯#WyattFamily4L
Rowan, meet Snitsky
I always wanted to see the Bludgeon Brothers gimmick and the Fiend with a badass entrance
It's sad Day for you Erik rest in peace to Brodie lee and Bray Wyatt Rip They have the hole world in there hands ..... Rip Run .
