We are back with Tyler Bate talking about his first match back against A-Kid. He came up short and lost. It was a thought provoking loss. It brought out feelings and an uncomfortable memory. It gives him the chance to learn a valuable lesson. So long as he gives his all and remains open to learn and expand his knowledge of professional wrestling from a place of absolute authenticity, I am liberated from any pain that any match can give to me. A wise man once said, be like water. There is a reason why people like Bruce Lee changed the paradigm of their art. That is what I am going to do with pro wrestling. Pro wrestling chose me as a conduit. To act authentically from that place, I need to go deep. If I act out of this raw, pure, authentic place, everything will fall into place. That is why I am here. Don’t let your fear turn against your playful heart.

Sam Gradwell asks if that is supposed to be influential? The only Yogi I believe in steals picnic baskets.

He reminds Noam that he has an open challenge every time he is in the ring, but you put Ben on ahead of me.
