Johnny, if you ever read this, you made me feel like I was 5 years old when you played babyface. I remember the match you and TC had with FTR on NXT, and one of them grabbed one of the tag belts and hit you in the knee with it. I just knew they were going to slap a Figure Four on you and make you tap out, and I couldn't look. Then you made the comeback and I marked out big time. I can't wait till you're back in the ring!
Revival vs DIY the two out of three falls match was one of the best tag matches I’ve ever seen.
This is a great interview. Didn't expect 15 minutes of baby talk, enjoyed that. Didn't expect a deep dive into insecurity and existential meaning, but appreciated that greatly. Love the honesty from Johnny
Watching NXT Takeover Brooklyn where 15k WWE fans popped for Jushin Thunder Liger (a 50 year old fmr WCW and NJPW wrestler making his WWE debut) was awesome. It's like NXT really knew their audience and was pushing to steal the week everytime they worked. I love going back to watch those days, such positive energy.
I was there in person for that Takeover. Amid so much of my disdain for the wrestling business, NXT Takeover shows, both in person and on TV, really kept my interest in it strong. The Black & Gold period was so amazing.
Yes right around the time Shinsuke Namumara came to NXT when Joe and Balor was fighting for the title for months was when NXT started becoming the best wrestling show up until AEW became a thing n they started counter programming
@@bgfarm857 Sami's reaction to Nakamura's debut match was golden too. Such love.
How I'm keeping sane at work right now, I love listening to your podcasts Renee!!
This was such a great interview! Would love to see one with Candice, not only for some insight on her time in NXT, but also to hear some stories from the indies, she's had some wild matches before coming to WWE.
Great interview. Thanks for uploading the video version. 👍
Renee, you deserve so many more subs! I love your channel and all of the interviews you do. I love that they’re so laid back and just feels like a normal conversation. Keep it up!
these are so great for variety of guests u have but the wrestling sessions are the best. you have gotten me thru a drive home or two from work for sure! thank you!!
Thank you for this interview. Two people who like each other, just talking. I almost felt like I was over-hearing a private conversation.
Big Congrats Candice&Johnny!!!
Such a very interesting interview! Johnny was one of the main reasons why NXT was so great. I love his style and I can't wait to see him in a ring again!
I enjoy listening to the podcast. I enjoy throwing it up to listen to while working.
Another great interview Renee. Fascinating stuff about Gargano I did not know.
I had similar experiences as a father during the birth of my 3 children. Body dysmorphia must be especially challenging when your position in a company and livelihood can be influenced by the way you look. I can relate to feeling at my most self conscious at a time I looked at my best. Have to focus more on the positives, of which there are so many for you Johnny. So much more to wellness than aesthetics and it makes training much more awesome. Rooting for you. Great interview Renee.
Fantastic interview. I'm so happy for Johnny and Candice on their arrival of Baby Quill. I also agree that body dysmorphia should be discussed more not just by male wrestlers but people from all kinds of sports. Thank you to Johnny for bringing this subject up.
Congratulations Johnny and loving the content Renee 👏🏽
My boy Johnny Gargano!
This is so AWESOME Renee Much respect to both You And Johnny !!! Rock On Fellow Canuck !!!
Congratulations to both Johnny and Candace...welcome quill 😀
Wow,ohio and canada has so much talented people 😀
Great interview as always. Johnny is such a relatable guy. I have the same Saba sword from Power Rangers! So cool that he's gonna let his son play with the toys. I gave my collection to my nephew, minus the Saba Sword. I wasn't planning on having kids, now I wish I would've saved some, ended up with a couple of surprises.
It's not Oral Sessions anymore? Damn you Max Caster!!
What a precious human being he is.
As a new parent I love hearing so many of these stories. I never thought I would relate so much to a blow out story 🤣
After watching him return what he says here 48:00 makes so much sense
"Most babies are aliens" I'm dead.
Watching this and Star-Lord is the background image I have for my phone made it so much more amazing
Thanks Renée
Another brilliant episode.
Unless i missed it . my only question that wasn't asked (apart from where are you going to debut next for obvious reasons)
Only question missing i would of liked answered... does greg irons still spend christmas with the garganos
Thanks for the great content
i fkn love johnny gargano and now that triple h is head of main roster creative hopefully that means we see the rebel heart, the heart and soul of NXT johnny 'wrestling' gargano back in wwe #wemissyoujohnnygargano
Besides the 15-20 minutes deep dive into baby poop talk rofl I loved this convo
AIW puts on shows once a month, would love to see Johnny there this month even if it's just a meet and greet! It's in Cleveland!
I was soooo much waiting to hear from Johny wrestling, haven't seen or heard from him ,, it's like a forever!!!! Sooo much waiting to see where he goes next or come back!!!!
I enjoyed that Renee. Cheers.
I was at that Takeover Portland show right before the pandemic and what a great night that was. If anyone reads this that speaks to Johnny tell him PDX still says thank you (Even though we were all cheering for Balor anyway).
Love this so much always loved his wrestling so much
You’reJohnny daddy now, being a dad whos an awesome wrestler is your new identity 😮💨
What a collection behind Gargano! Wrestlers and their fans are such nerds, and I love them for it!😊
Honestly dude, if you talk to him please tell him that he made a lot of us fall in love with wrestling again. This dude is one of the best most talented dudes I’ve seen in a very long time.
I enjoyed the baby talk, very relateble lol
Johnny is such a nice guy! ❤
Great interview and I can't wait to see Johnny Wrestling back in the ring no matter where he go
My first kid looked like he was right out of the cone head movie!
Both my kids stories are just like Johnny’s!!
It was really fun for me to see his kid have the same name as my 4 year old.
Thought he was in a comic book store, wow what a collection.
When my son was born c section and yes he looked like an alien 👽 lol that's so funny u guys said that
Gargano is one of my all time favorite wrestlers. I hope he comes back to NXT in the future but wish him well in anything he does.
No NXT 2.0 sucks this new NXT is awful I want Johnny to go RAW or Smackdown
Talk to me when you have twins & they show up 10 weeks early! Lol, madness. Congrats to the Gargano’s.
Johny is fantastic. My favourite NXT moment is him winning the NXT Championship. I’m really happy for him right now, he seems like he is enjoying life. I don’t know when Ciampa’s contract is up but if we got DIY in the AEW Tag Division that would be fantastic. I don’t know if Johny fits right now in the main event scene in AEW and he is a guy who shouldn’t be treated like a small act so honestly, maybe he becomes the face of the ROH reboot if Ciampa isn’t coming in (I could see Ciampa joining Edge’s faction on Raw)
Need that book!
#johnnygargano
Damn, not even born and they got the Gargano escape locked in on the baby too🤣
All jokes and love, congrats mr and mrs wrestling!!
hope to see Candice on the show soon
Dude I feel you I have a 2 year old and I'm getting ready to have another new born I'm so nervous lmao 🤣 kids are amazing tho
Congratulations Jonny. IMO there is nothing better than being a parent. I can 100% relate to Jonny's experience's as a father. My first child would poop like a fire hose. No diaper could contain him.
I'm 24 now and i still play with wrestling figures! Hell I do my own WWE universe LOL
Wow
I agree with Ciampa. I don’t have children, but I can imagine by actually witnessing the effort and value of what my wife would be taking on to deliver our child, I’d cherish her to an even deeper level. One I imagine is deeper than Not Witnessing.
Johnny Same Face keeps the channels changing. Lol
WWE RAW 2022 WWE SmackDown 2022 Johny Gargano
Cornette says it all the time, “how can we miss you if you never go away”
I think too many rush into a new place.
15:36 to skip the baby/diaper/daddy talk.
Our favorite son here in Cleveland. We were at AEW Beach Break chanting just on the chance he'd be home, but Candice had Quill just a few days earlier.
TBH this is no shade completely on the fans but I feel like it was the tribal fans who were Hardcore WWE & Anti AEW and Hardcore AEW anti WWE alongside the whole thing with WCW, is what fueled the Wednesday Night Wars
I recall when both he and Tommaso were put on RAW for a Tag Team match, the crowd wasn't with them and the match didn't work out right. Tommaso looked like he was hurting.
Vince makes some really stupid decisions and that was one. I liked seeing them on RAW but felt that caused Tommaso further injuries.
She going to be like John. Crazy like her crazy mellow quiet daddy.
Did he talk about Grayson Waller hitting him?
Omg I actually had a friend steal the first AND middle name of the child. I thought it was a joke, like who does that.
CANDICE!
I don't watch nxt. But did this guy speak this much on nxt? Seems like he has a great personality and could have came off on screen
Yeah
@@wake6937 hmm he always seemed to be like ic or us title lvl champ but the nxt version. With that outgoing personality surprised he wasn't pushed higher
@@bigdaddyroy5382 he was world champion in NXT the main roster didn’t just have plans for him
@@wake6937 ahh I thought the highest he ever went was north American champn
@@bigdaddyroy5382 yeah he won it 3 years ago
Johnny is good for a dark elevation match against Ethan page. That's his ceiling in aew. Deep down he knows it too that's why he's hesitating to sign. Johnny Insecure.
I wanna have babies, but hearing this makes me think about it twice. Seems a dreadful procedure to get a human being out of a woman for both partners. Respect for all women for going through such painful operarion.
Dude.....no...it's natural and part of life. Every goddamn mammal on the planet does the same thing without drugs and modern medicine.

Always loved Gargano, would love to see him get a run on Raw or Smackdown. I'm sure he'll just end up in AEW though
Which is just as good. I remember anticipating his arrival on Raw or Smackdown, hoping he'd be the next Daniel Bryan, but at this point...even if he re-signed with WWE and they sent him right to the main roster(s), he'd be buried hard. AEW would give him a decent spot, and even if Dynamite or Rampage were a bit crowded, Ring of Honor would be a PERFECT place for him. Gargano has a ton of amazing matches he could put on against ROH talent, old and new.
@@RedShadowOfSaturn i get why people are so quick to assume he'll be buried considering how literally almost everyone does. I just feel like Gargano is different. I know his size isn't sexy to Vince but I truly think he'd reach great success
@@Real_STKO Same! And I agree, I understand that he's a small guy and folks like Cornette and Vince see him as another "vanilla indie midget." Not every small guy can be a Cinderella story of overcoming an industry of bigger competitors and have it always be compelling, but...Johnny has a healthy following. For a promotion to ignore that and pass on pushing him seems wasteful.
Would it be great for him to pop back up on Raw or Smackdown, win the Royal Rumble and main event Wrestlemania 39? Absolutely, the guy totally deserves it. Probably won't happen, though. So in that case...I'd rather seem be the Joker in a Casino Royale in AEW and win a world title there next year, or...debut in Ring of Honor, Johnny Wrestling would absolutely kill it in ROH, no doubt.
I mean. Austin Theory is getting pushed pretty damn hard on the main roster. And I think Johnny has the range to play anything. I feel like he'd, of all people, be able to make the transition to full "entertainment".
But whatever they choose to do, I'm sure they'll be great there!
Vince is successful in spite of himself. I truly believe the man is incompetent in a lot of ways
First 15 minutes of them talking about baby stuff
