going in raw wins again

[@enjunspur5129]

I understand you guys think that interviews are a weak point...but yall knocked it out of the park, it was very cool to hear Dijak talk about character.

[@SteveAndLarson]

He made it so much easier for us tbh.

[@trentbrown1765]

I absolutely love yall but I think I agree, maybe you can crowdsource a few questions from fans for future interviews incase some of the interviewees aren't as fantastic as Dijak

[@CoryDAnimates]

​@@SteveAndLarson He lit up when talking about the process of building the characters. That was the breakthrough.

[@wheaton_drizz]

Have not even watched but im smiling hard as hell lol hopefully the first of many interviews for the boys

[@IsaiahTV]

GOING IN RAW GOT THE SCOOPS NOW! Those OTHER GUYS better watch out 👊🏼

[@josealaguna8651]

YEAH THATS RIGHT😏 this podcast is officially sponsored by Arby’s 😏

[@aj2766]

I'm about halfway through, and my only question was "is it an Arby's night?" 😂😂

[@yungflav193]

This is the last thing I was expecting to see in my feed when I opened KZbin. Cant wait to watch this later

[@ANT42112]

Was not expecting this interview since I have missed the last few recaps over this past month.

[@chaoticoldbore]

Great interview/chat. I wish nothing but the best for Dijack and his family.

[@bassyboi26]

OMFG!!!! WOW!!! AMAZING GET!!! :D FEAST OUR EYES!!!

[@andrewsharpe8326]

NONFUCKING WAY !!!

[@StrangeWill97]

"Nonfucking Way" feels iconic

[@LB38X]

I was pleasantly surprised to see this was a going in raw interview... i thought it was a reaction to a interview.. well done 👏🏾 ✔

[@Wsfletcher]

WTH. WOW! That was amazing. Great interview guys.

[@StrangeWill97]

The trees better be afraid

[@21pandas_]

An interview! I usually save you guys for work but Imma watch right now! 🥳🥳🥳

[@andrewmettler2228]

I don't understand some of the hate this dude has gotten since his release. He seems like a perfectly nice guy who is just talking about how the company he worked for went about letting him go in a weird way.

[@jackconorria4033]

He was bragging about Meltzer star ratings, that could be why

[@patrickcheesman]

Wish you asked more about his feud with tree

[@mutedmayday]

Yeah that's right

[@DMofPuppets]

Dijak for Going In Raw HOF?

[@user-jl2hq9se6x]

As a Pittsburgh native, I love he is rocking the Ryse Championship.

[@John_TheDrummer]

Great interview! I would LOVE to see Dijak show up in Defy some time! He'd fit perfectly!

[@josephsua7246]

What an amazing interview, getting a nice insight in the man was great.

[@MrTheSmurf]

What a wonderful human being

[@DanielAcostaArt]

This was great, I would love more of these interviews

[@Fusion-ed1pv]

Steve & Larson making a name for themselves!!! Congrats guys!

[@starmanstuvs3856]

Whoaaaaaaaa GiR out here doing some hard-hitting journalism! 🤩

[@goatbrook9065]

Wwe better find a way to bring him back, letting him go was so weird

[@yungflav193]

Look at the roster bro (including nxt) its going to be alot of talent that WWE arent going to resign in the future sadly

[@zachhazzard3034]

Supposedly he was leaking things to the dirt sheets and they caught wind and that's why he was let go.

[@stephenlawlor1032]

Great interview Steve & Larson. You guys do some great work and always produce really insightful content. It's really still a strange one to me why WWE released Dijak given his great in ring work in NXT and his entertaining social media engagements/character work in the latter days of his WWE run as he mentioned here. As a fan of the company I would like to eventually see them give the guy another shot, but ultimately I am intrigued to see where Dijak ends up going next.

[@kurtisdefender]

Dijak is just such a great person with a great mind and is super talented. I love him so much , this was a great chill interview.🕶❤

[@richardcollinsphotography1288]

Great interview, I love Dijaks character. I think it helped with his promos because he definitely has a great personality, and it goes without saying that he's great in the ring.

[@StephenWilds]

Great interview.

[@TheGooseman316]

This is awesome 👏 👏 👏👏👏

[@mikehawkins5802]

Please Get this In the podcast feed

[@DexterasVI]

LOVE DIJAK MAN. I hope they realize they made a mistake and bring him back. Him and Ilja had some of the dopest matches. He'd be great against people like Gunther and many other main roster talent. They did him so dirty

[@dougferguson6876]

Wow. Great job

[@JoeFrankFilms]

W for the Friendos 🤘

[@ragerwrld6357]
