And the reason why we have you here, not just because you're a cool dude, is also because you have been bringing in a number of professional wrestling's biggest stars for guests for autograph signings and such right in the courtyard. I'm trying, yeah.

We've had a few so far. We started with Brutus Beefcake, and then we went to Tito Santana, and we've had Tony Atlas. We had Buff Bagwell, and our last one was ODB from TNA. And we have a few more coming up.

I'm trying to do them at least once a month is what I'd like to do. Of course, try his, you know. The operative word, right. Exactly.

Of course, scheduling is tough with a lot of the people. It is. Yeah. So it's a lot of it is like with Beefcake.

I know he lives in Florida, but his him and his wife is their families from here. So we had them around Easter because I knew they were coming up here. Right. Contact them and see.

You know what I mean? Sure enough, they were going to be in town. So it worked out. You know what I mean?

So you just kind of got to, you know, look at their schedule first before you ask. You had Earl Heppner up here too, not that long ago. Yeah, that's right. Earl Heppner was here.

So we got a few coming. August 9th is Rhino. Yes. That's going to be a good one.

I've never met him before, and I've always wanted to. And it would be great if I could get him to gore me right in the booth. He may do it. I've been in the ring with him a couple times.

and he is as intense in that ring as he seems on TV. Yeah, he'll be like, just sign this disclaimer real quick. Right. So you've got him coming.

You've got Joe Gacy coming. You've got, of course, from the Wyatt Six, formerly Joe Gacy. Who else do you have? Oh, the Brooklyn Brawler is coming.

Oh, yes. He'll be here on the 22nd of August. and we're also doing a little cross promotion with him with the Cowabunga collection which is right down the hall from us they do all sorts of games and retro you know 80s 90s that kind of it's

like one of the huge toy store and so they're gonna have all these vendors set up so if anybody's looking for anything 80s or 90s you know you come pick it up come meet the brawler you know and And that should be a fun one. That should be really good.

That'll definitely be a good time. Absolutely. We also have Demolitions coming. Yes.

We got Paul Roma will be here as well with Demolition. He's won half of Power and Glory. I'm sure you know that. Yes.

For those who don't. And he was also one of the four horsemen. Right. You know what I'm going to say to him is when I was a kid,

I don't know why I always thought he should be a tag team partner with Rick the model Martel. I thought he had a similar face. Yes.

And if he had the model gimmick, you know what I mean? This is what I was thinking when I was eight years old. Probably going to call me an idiot. No, I'd appreciate that.

I just thought they would have gelled real good, I thought. Absolutely back then. Yeah, so I'm excited to meet him. And we got more in the future coming that I'm not allowed to say.

There you go. Okay. I'm sure that when you're ready to drop it, we'll be dropping. How do people find you? Let's start right there so that those people that are listening right now can start Googling and find out how to get a hold of you guys at Trainwreck Tacos and see the schedule.

Well, the best way, well, Facebook is just Trainwreck Tacos, no W in that. And Instagram, Trainwreck Tacos. There's also a Trainwreck Tacos Entertainment on Instagram. And if you want food, we're on DoorDash, Uber Eats, all those. Perfect.

Yes. Mainly Facebook and Instagram. Those are the two. Dynamic.

Yeah, we have a girl here that runs a TikTok for us, which I don't know much about. But, you know, she's great. Funny. We're going to link you up on my Instagram and my website, too, so that we can get this together.

because I think partnering with you is going to be a lot of fun. We're going to have a lot of good times with this. So, listen, I need to know your backstory. Obviously, big wrestling fan.

Rumors are you dabbled in music, too, for a little while, which is very, very close to the wrestling industry. You know, it's like jack of all trades, master of none. Except for the tacos.

Yeah, I mean, I grew up like in Cedarville and Plymouth and just in that area. And it started when I was eight years old is when everything started for me as far as music and wrestling. For me, with the music thing, it was Guns N' Roses.
