You mentioned it for a second, the moment in the match when Christian returned.
I pretty much clammed up for about the first 30 seconds, because I was like,
wait a minute, wait, this is really happening?
And I knew what it meant to him.
And there was a camera shot of you where you kind of glanced up like,
is this happening and man, you talk about the moments that are real.
>> Yeah. >> I was feeling that for you guys.
What was going through your mind when it's actually happening?
>> That's the stuff you can't try and map out.
That's the stuff when wrestling works at its best level.
Is when there's reality involved, when there's truth involved.
If there's truth, the audience can see it because it's right here and down here.
And I just had to take a moment.
I didn't know I was on camera.
I wanted to be out of the way for him.
So I was out of the way, but I also wanted to see it.
>> Yeah. >> And I wanted to experience it and, and
and be able to soak that in, because I was just so I'm happy for him.
And also dumbfounded, because this was actually happening.
That the fact that we're both in here, a year after me returning, and
here he comes and we're going to be in the Rumble together in 2021.
How is this happening?
And so that look on my face is proud,
it's happy, it's ecstatic,
it's all of it, the emotions and it was real.
>> It was awesome to sit back watch that moment as a fan.
And then of course to see your face you're looking up and you're like, heh,
anyway, like put your head back down like that's so cool.
That's what the Royal Rumble is about.
That's what this is about, it's about those small moments in a little
bit of time that make it such a bigger picture and
make it so wonderful to watch as a fan.
So it was really cool to sit back and see that moment come out.
But I do wanna switch gears for a second because you brought up Christian.
I think Edge and Christian I think theme music, I think the love of music that you,
Corey, and myself, we all have.
When it comes to Edge,
one thing is the themes you always have had have been great.
From the Brood entrance, to You Think You Know Me, to what you have now.
How is the evolution of your themes, how have you played a part in that?
What are they meant to you?
>> I'm very hands-on with that stuff.
With the gear, with the presentation of the package, with my t-shirts.
I'm really hands-on with that stuff.
Because I love drawing, I love art, but I love the arts, period.
Music has been my muse on the road, throughout.
If you see me, I either got a book in my hand or I'm listening to music.
Those are my things.
It's got me through so many flights and drives and roads up and down.
So I need to be involved in that music because I gotta feel it.
When I come out through that curtain, it needs to get me jumping.
Because it was Michael Hayes that told me,
the more you give the audience on your entrance, the more you're gonna get back.
And I took that to heart, it really sunk in.
I was able to do that when I got Alter Bridge, when I got Metalingus.
>> That music really just, it hits me right in the heart.
And the lyrics and the message,
it's almost like it was written for what I feel.
And so I've always been very, very, very hands on with that.
And once I got that, I knew that's it, this is where it stops.
My journey trying to find that perfect music ends here.
I loved having Rob Zombie.
I loved the Brood music.
But once I got Metalingus I knew.
Cuz that means that man I'd come flying out, go side to side and
do my thing like I'm feeling all of that and taking Michael's message to heart.
I tried it throw all that energy out.
And usually it comes right back.
So it's this nice symbiotic relationship.
