I've noticed AAA doesn't have the production values it had 4 years ago and can't seem to lock down talent like it used to. I wonder if their LU experiment had anything to do with it?
Kurt Angle. David Benoit. And now Vampiro? Started 2020 strong! Watch yourself Chris. You're starting so strong in 2020, you'll be playing catch up with yourself the rest of the year, lol
Liquid Fox General but that’s the point. He isn’t wrestling cause of his father and the horrible things Chris did. But imagine if Chris hadn’t of murdered his wife and son, david would of had his chance to wrestle, like davey boy Smith Jr did. He might have done well or not, we will never know. Or if he wasn’t benoits son, if he was another Canadian he could have attempted to wrestle . Would he have succeeded? We likely will never know.
@@foosdontcry Season 4 was garbage aside from Marty getting some shine. I've liked that dude since he was on Tough Enough. No idea how he isn't in Impact/AEW/or NXT currently.
So good seeing him doing better. You can tell by just looking at him that hes much healthier. Thanks for not being afraid to share your story, it will help more people than you can imagine.
@jon snow You have no facts on that factless comment. I can tell you know nothing of what you are speaking and if that's the case you should not speak at all. I hate it when ppl talk shit about something they no nothing about just to have a opinionated presents bullshit! It's only harmful to young ppl under 25 get your shit right!
When I say that shit, this is what I mean. I love everyone individually, and hate everyone collectively. Individuals are fine. Groups of people fucking suck.
Lucha Underground was awesome. I didn't know it ended. I stopped watching when I stopped getting the El Rey channel. I was a fan of King Cuerno and Mil Muertes. They had great matches.
Vampiro was so cool to me in WCW. As a horror fan and a metalhead I thought he was just the coolest wrestler at the time. Even watched WSX just because of him.
what makes your interviews so great, Chris, is you let the guest be themselves. It's like you're hanging with them not interviewing them. So many interviewers are boring or don't do their research or just try to provoke, but you have a conversation. awesome.
Vampiro is a straight realist and so sincere in his own way. I remember watching him since he wrestled in Mexico as El Vampiro Canadiense!! Was one of my favorites along with the original La Parka who later went on to WCW!! As always you are a great interviewer Chris ; )
If Vampiro does even a brief cameo like DDP, I would be stoked! His stories are amazing and I really enjoyed this interview. His words about you, Chris, are genuine and true. Keep being awesome!
Vampiro you just said something that i've been saying since I was 16.. My favorite quote is " Death is certain. Life is not " When we are born we know one day we are going to die, we just don't know when or how! Love you Vampiro,take care man!
Huge thanks to Vampiro for sharing his story. These issues are absolutely no joke. Thank you Chris Van Vliet for giving athletes a platform to share. You're doing great work.
It's like he's driven by rebelling against anything. No matter if it's good or bad he feels like he's got to take the different route no matter what.sometimes it's ok to agree with something
Jessie B well Jessie b, you comment is like lost... your a coward and have zero balls . I am not confused or wanting anything, and honestly , I am so happy and it’s so funny that you have to leave a comment. Like it or not you watched ! So, keep your fucked up stupid comments to yourself , or, find me in person and come and have a talk in person. I am sure , you will see . That you would be surprised in person .
@@vampiropodcast See what I mean about needing attention? Your life is such shit you a "famous" "pro" wrestler feels the need to come online and argue with random people about an internet comment.😂 If that's not some sad shit I kinda feel sorry for you. Is there not a flea market trying to book you somewhere? Lets be honest your career peaked in like 99 when you wrestled sting.. You have spent your time after scratching and clawing trying to keep yourself relevant. Do you think if I left a comment on Steve Austin or Shawn Michaels video they would come to the comment section and write a short story to argue with random people ? Hell no because they don't need the attention. The whole persona you try to give off is sad for someone who has got to be in his 50s.
Wow. I watch bits and pieces of all these talks. This is the first one I watched all the way through. So much respect for Vampiro. What a real dude. A fighter, survivor, bad ass. True testimonial.
I will always hold Vampiro in high regard, I've been such a fan of his since WCW and so glad he's doing better than he was for awhile. Amazing, as always Chris.
Vampiro was my first ever favorite wrestler back in WCW when I was a kid. Despite all the bad things that he's been through, I'm glad that he seems to be happy and positive
Vampiro is one of those dudes I always knew of and watched, but never knew a whole lot about. He seems like such a genuinely good dude. Staying that positive in his life after everything he’s gone through is an inspiration.
I remember a story he told about how Jericho laughed and gave him shit for having a rock band on the side before he was doing his whole Fozzy thing. That would be enough for me to dislike someone in the same situation so I can understand him not liking Jericho, even if just for the hypocrisy. I think it would definitely be a must see match if it ever does happen.
@a tabblife "Don't believe a story he told but believe me, a random person in a comment section saying he was in the Mexican Secret Service."...umm okay.

Yeah! I understand his not wanting to do it unless there's a good story in it, but oh man, I would LOVE to hear him on AEW. I wonder what he'd say about Darby or Havoc.
Lucha Underground was amazing. Aztec Warfare matches is my favorite match type. Belts were amazing , talent was amazing , crowd was amazing. Damn shame
I loved Vamp in the ring and think he's very cool. Seems like he's been through a lot both mentally and physically and went off the rails in some spots. I'm a fan, but he's negative in a lot of ways, let alone saying Chris sent people to his Gofundme, then told him to go fuck himself LOL. He's just all over the place.
He really contradicted himself when he started laying into Jericho. Before he was talking about how he's not controversial. He just doesnt understand that perspective lmao.
SegaCDUniverse exactly my thoughts. Then saying Jericho is a poser and he’s not rock and roll like him??? Then he previously said that everyone is different and that should be respected. Gee whiz.
"If not for Hulk Hogan none of us would have a job....We need to say thank you and it's not cool to speak bad about those who came before you." Bless you Vamp.
Sad it ended on a cliff hanger and hopefully one day it can come back while most of them can still go and move great. Some of the best wrestling I’ve ever seen and I miss it so much everyday
Chris, as usual an amazing interview. In addition, all the interviews I've seen with Ian (Vampiro) are great. Dude tells it like it is and always will. Hard to believe he's suffering from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Bless the Mighty Vampiro.
In his interview with Hannibal he remembered going to Mexico 30 years ago in detail. Haven't heard much good about him but he comes off as an intelligent guy.
I am trying very hard to find the positivity in my life that this man has. With similar problems including a stroke, major depression and paranoia, problems maintaining relationships, finding a reason to live, this interview gave me a lot to think about. Thank you Vampiro, you've made a new fan of an old WCW mark.
Lucha Underground was the only wrestling company that I would watch from beginning to end. Great matches. Great storylines. With WWE, I fast forward through a lot of crap. Now, I'm enjoying AEW.
Yeah and do you think it really hurts WWE that you fast-forward to the end I'm pretty sure they don't care because it's not going to hurt if you don't watch they're not going to cry about it
vampire is a fraud and an absolute WORK as a Person! Everything he says is meant to deceive and manipulate people emotions. He also says dangerous things here. I don't care who you are you can NOT and absolutely should NOT just stop taking opiates or other drugs. " Just like that!" He says. He didn't go through withdrawal? BULLSHIT!! He is a liar. An absolute fake. I also base this on other bulletin things I've heard in interviews. Chris is awesome! But vamperz can eat a fat one...
@@traceyd9643 You're 100% correct. I noticed it too in his old shoots. Then I heard Konnan and Disco saying the same thing.... and THEN I heard him say he went from taking 700 opiate painkillers a month to taking zero the moment someone introduced him to weed... He is lying. Then you listen to all of these rambling stories. He appears to be that one friend who makes shit up for no reason.
@@traceyd9643 I think people label him wrong. People say vamp is a pathological liar. That's incorrect. He stretches the shit out of the truth though always. It's easy to decipher the truth in his stories. Some stories he tells that sound Riddiculous are true if you do your home work but yeah no one goes from full fledged addict to clean in a day. It takes time. Dude is probably low key loopy to he has had alot rough matches in Mexico and even in the states. All In all he still entertains me and I think people getting worked up about an obvious truth stretcher is rather silly
I remember watching vamprio wrestle in Mexico and on tv in the early 90's and when he came to wcw in the late 90's in the 2000s i was like holy shit! I wanted more. Vampiro should of be a big player in the world of wrestling.
I love his positive attitude. I'm disabled myself, I have an aggressive form of Glaucoma and I try to keep the same positive, pull yourself up by your bootstraps attitude. Of course things will get worse, but I'm not gonna waste my time crying abt it when I can make the most if what I have and find the silver lining.
Vampiro & Matt Striker was the most hilarious announce team. Lucha Underground made watching wrestling fun again for me. They didn't pretend that it was real sport, and wasn't scripted.. they made the roster supervillians in their own world & that was a beautiful thing
This is so awesome that this man speaks on these issues of mental health especially considering I suffer from anxiety and that and panic attacks myself. #respect
Sting is the real deal I do like vampiro though Wish wwe used him and used him better and he could easily be the Undertaker caliber character Imagine Vampiro vs Undertaker Sting vs Undertaker Kane Vs Vampiro Vampiro Vs Edge Vampiro Vs Jericho Vampiro Vs Shawn Michaels Vampiro Vs Stone Cold My GOD that'd been big.
Soooo maybe finally the Alex Riley interview coming up? ;) No Jinx! I loved this interview. Vampiro is a straight shooter. For a guy who literally could have passed away from his demons he's taking back his life and owning his shit. Great interview Chris and he is spot on Goals and crushing them 1 by 1.
I started out not wanting to see this video because quite frankly, I’ve never been the biggest fan of Vampiro. But the next thing I know, I’m sitting at the very end of this video, still watching, with a newfound respect and admiration for Vampiro as a person, and understanding even more why I’m a fan of Chris Van Vliet’s interviews. His vibe as a solid dude and fan who really has a genuine, humble interest in and love towards the wrestling industry, seems to come across to the people he interviews, getting them to open up and make the interview that much more honest and engaging. Yet another really good interview, making me yet more of a fan of your work bro. Keep up the great work.
Always been a fan of Vampiro after this interview I’m even a bigger fan, I myself have had a very similar journey as he is on I’m a single dad of 3 amazing kids I’ve had a stroke I was dying and I’ve brought myself back with hard work and determination great story Vampiro keep going and thanks Chris
Nobody: Vampiro: Did you know I'm a musician and punk rock fan who influenced thousands of people??! Don't get me wrong, loved him since WCW. Great to see him healthy and doing well, just taking the piss.
He has such a positive and amazing outlook on life. Even though he forgets a lot, he uses that as an advantage to experience life again like it was new and his first time. I never thought of it that way and that really resonated with me. Thank you for this interview. Vampiro is truly a treasure.
Damn shame bout Lucha Underground I loved it and was needed alternative but you can see the wrestlers from there succeeding because of Lucha Underground
Thanks to Vampiro for making this spur of the moment interview happen! Subscribe to his TH-cam channel: th-cam.com/channels/9W9sOdvt1tPzqFdVUNFNXw.html Check him out on Facebook: facebook.com/VampiroTV And on his website: vampirotv.com
I mean either that's sad to get really sick but at the same time I'm one of the people that really said that Vampiro should be on your show I just want to hear what he has to say but wrestling today don't say that was me but I didn't think it'd be great to hear what he has to say about blessing today when he was told her anything about less than Journal wrestling in general
Chris if you can please tell Vampiro to try a keto vegan diet. It might improve the artritis symptoms, improve his mood and the best of all it might stop or set back the early symptoms of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's desease. I will really appreciate if you share this peace of advice. Cheers from Mexico. Big fan of your show and from Vampiro.
thank you that was one of my favorite interviews you did. but you spelled his website wrong. its vampirotv not vampriotv :) just want to point that out.
Absolute legend! Love vampiro. Would be amazing to see him and jericho go into a angle. Hope they both sort things out and can come together one day, I think the matches would be classics!
Vampiro vs Pentagon in Lucha Underground was a match i'll remember forever. I was 14 at the time and that reveal they did after the match was one of the rare surreal out of body experience that I've ever had again till the undertaker lost his streak. I had true goosebumbs that day and it made me fall in love with wrestling like never before. Thank you Vampiro because you're one of the reasons I fell in love with wrestling.
For anyone doubting Vampiro’s condition, short term memory is the first thing to go. I look after a family member with a similar situation due to chronic substance abuse. Sometimes they get very confused or angry because they feel helpless or lost and don’t want to ask for help. Losing that sense of independence out of nowhere is traumatic. They need support but don’t want to ask for it or to be a burden. Many times they’re unaware that something is wrong. It can happen for seconds or minutes or last much longer. It’s like a glitch but it never goes away. Be kind and be patient with them and hope you are never in the same position one day. Stay healthy.
Man, I love Vampiro! He's always kept it real in every interview I've seen. His run in WCW when he was rolling with the guys from the Misfits was such a highlight for me. Glad he's clean, and taking care of himself.
When he says Fenix he's talking about Pentagon.. Btw Pentagon still does dumb things like stalling too much in his matches but the crowd still connects to him.
I'm not the biggest Pentagon fan, but that stupid walk and glove thing is his gimmick. It's exactly the same as when Road Dogg did the shimmy walk and goofy punches, and nobody cared. It popped the crowd, and that's why Pentagon does it.
I've been a fan of Vampiro since I saw him in WCW. I've always been a huge fan. It's always great to listen to him talk, too. Lucha Underground was gold.
This is horribly underrated. More people need to watch this episode 10:50 he has such a positive outlook on something so scary I wish him the best man 19:12 i totally get it man theres creative differences. Ive had that with other content creators we dont see eye to eye it doesn't mean we hate each other it just means we cant do our best work together
This is why I love Vampiro he's brutally honest and doesn't regret a thing. I hope he's doing well with his health & everything in life. Big fan since WCW & Lucha Underground.
I absolutely love this interview it was so real and positive also very refreshing. thank you Vampiro I really needed to hear this because of the health issues I am going through.
you are AMAZING to interview people bruh, you like to listen, you engage honestly, you're a fucking good friend, a fucking great fucking human being... this is not about you, it's about you interacting with cool people in a really respectful friendly way... you're the fucking MVP Chris
I still remember Cartoon Network turning to tnt on a Saturday night here in Australia when I was 11. Year 2000 I was watching nitro on a Saturday night and the only wrestler that I can vividly remember is Vampiro. I loved this interview!!!
Vampiro is one tough mfkr, he was born in Thunder Bay & you have to be able to live in -40 to -50 temperatures in winter here, only tough guys can do that here! :)
It was kinda heart breaking yet incredible & inspiring to hear Vamp talk about his Alzheimer's. His outlook on something so incredibly hard is awesome & enlightening. But our knowledge of that illness & our experiences of it with other family members, & knowing that it starts off bad & ends up worse...it makes it hard to hear about for me. But I'd much rather it be harder for me than it is for his him. Thank you for everything, Vamp. & thank you Chris
Glad he’s looking healthier, always enjoyed the character and he definitely looked intimidating in the ring. Came from nothing and made a name for himself
thnx for the interview chris, i've been looking everywhere for updates on vampiro and only a few mexican channels have shown anything. he was a great wrestler in wcw and just in general, so i was shocked when no one was interviewing after his time past or even his illness. he could of gone further in his career but they never gave him the chance. either way i enjoyed watching him and he looked fucking cool with his braids and paint.
Wow I loved Vampiro s a wrestler, The Misfits angle was truly sick as Hell. I was into Punk back then and Horror Rock So that was amazing. This interview is truly great seeing Vamipiro in a totally new light. I have even more respect and Love for the Guy after seeing this..Thanx Chris for doing this interview.
Man, what a great interview! I'm a mexican Vampiro Canadiense fan from Mexico and he's a True Legend here, so so humble wise person he is, mad respect and props to him, we miss you a lot!
I'll forever believe Vampiro is one of the most underappreciated wrestlers of all time
He was on the verge of superstardom in 2000.
I will say this over and over again: LUCHA UNDERGROUND saved wrestling.
I loved luchs underground. Still believe Netflix should have buy it
#TrueStory
You would be wrong then, because it did absolutely nothing for wrestling.
It certainly contributed to it's "resurgence". The rise of NJPW and the, WWE, exodus of Cody Rhodes didn't hurt.
I've noticed AAA doesn't have the production values it had 4 years ago and can't seem to lock down talent like it used to. I wonder if their LU experiment had anything to do with it?
Kurt Angle. David Benoit. And now Vampiro? Started 2020 strong! Watch yourself Chris. You're starting so strong in 2020, you'll be playing catch up with yourself the rest of the year, lol
Nah. He'll start resurrecting stars to interview. He has infinite power.
2021: Andre The Giant interview.
Alex Riley next
Imo David was his weakest interview. Nobody would even care if his dad wasn't Chris.
Liquid Fox General makes no sense an interview is an interview his interview got more views than Kurt angle
Liquid Fox General but that’s the point. He isn’t wrestling cause of his father and the horrible things Chris did. But imagine if Chris hadn’t of murdered his wife and son, david would of had his chance to wrestle, like davey boy Smith Jr did. He might have done well or not, we will never know.

Lucha Underground was better than any other wrestling on TV today and I miss it.
check out the streaming service tubi been rewatching it on there, they have all the seasons

In his interview with Hannibal he remembered going to Mexico 30 years ago in detail. Haven't heard much good about him but he comes off as an intelligent guy.
I am trying very hard to find the positivity in my life that this man has. With similar problems including a stroke, major depression and paranoia, problems maintaining relationships, finding a reason to live, this interview gave me a lot to think about. Thank you Vampiro, you've made a new fan of an old WCW mark.
Hang in there Bro. You're not alone! You will make it too!
Proud of his daughter 🙏🙏🙏, nothing's but respect.
Great interview. Love vampiro. Logical, smart, intelligent, honest. Great stuff. Wish the best for him. God bless.
Lucha Underground was the only wrestling company that I would watch from beginning to end. Great matches. Great storylines. With WWE, I fast forward through a lot of crap. Now, I'm enjoying AEW.
if only they made them selves known to a wider audience
Yeah and do you think it really hurts WWE that you fast-forward to the end I'm pretty sure they don't care because it's not going to hurt if you don't watch they're not going to cry about it
@@waltersocie4434 well obviously.
Lol aew and great story lines should never be in the same sentence
should have tried czw also prettie much better then wwe in every direction
Vampiro a real one!
So was that apology lmfao
vampire is a fraud and an absolute WORK as a Person! Everything he says is meant to deceive and manipulate people emotions. He also says dangerous things here. I don't care who you are you can NOT and absolutely should NOT just stop taking opiates or other drugs. " Just like that!" He says. He didn't go through withdrawal? BULLSHIT!! He is a liar. An absolute fake. I also base this on other bulletin things I've heard in interviews. Chris is awesome! But vamperz can eat a fat one...
@@traceyd9643 You're 100% correct. I noticed it too in his old shoots. Then I heard Konnan and Disco saying the same thing.... and THEN I heard him say he went from taking 700 opiate painkillers a month to taking zero the moment someone introduced him to weed... He is lying. Then you listen to all of these rambling stories. He appears to be that one friend who makes shit up for no reason.
@@traceyd9643 I think people label him wrong. People say vamp is a pathological liar. That's incorrect. He stretches the shit out of the truth though always. It's easy to decipher the truth in his stories. Some stories he tells that sound Riddiculous are true if you do your home work but yeah no one goes from full fledged addict to clean in a day. It takes time. Dude is probably low key loopy to he has had alot rough matches in Mexico and even in the states. All In all he still entertains me and I think people getting worked up about an obvious truth stretcher is rather silly
I remember watching vamprio wrestle in Mexico and on tv in the early 90's and when he came to wcw in the late 90's in the 2000s i was like holy shit! I wanted more. Vampiro should of be a big player in the world of wrestling.
Vampiros stuff with Pentagon in Lucha Underground was awesome.
I love his positive attitude. I'm disabled myself, I have an aggressive form of Glaucoma and I try to keep the same positive, pull yourself up by your bootstraps attitude. Of course things will get worse, but I'm not gonna waste my time crying abt it when I can make the most if what I have and find the silver lining.
Vampiro & Matt Striker was the most hilarious announce team. Lucha Underground made watching wrestling fun again for me. They didn't pretend that it was real sport, and wasn't scripted.. they made the roster supervillians in their own world & that was a beautiful thing
You're the man, Chris! Really enjoyed this interview.
This is so awesome that this man speaks on these issues of mental health especially considering I suffer from anxiety and that and panic attacks myself. #respect
28:45 Sting
What about lucha underground
Thank you
I only clicked because Sting is my most favourite number one wrestler.
Sting is the real deal
I do like vampiro though
Wish wwe used him and used him better and he could easily be the Undertaker caliber character
Imagine Vampiro vs Undertaker
Sting vs Undertaker
Kane Vs Vampiro
Vampiro Vs Edge
Vampiro Vs Jericho
Vampiro Vs Shawn Michaels
Vampiro Vs Stone Cold
My GOD that'd been big.
Thanks
1:18:18 Lmao Vampiro’s still the man, I want to see Vampiro vs Chris Jericho in AEW on ppv.
Soooo maybe finally the Alex Riley interview coming up? ;) No Jinx! I loved this interview. Vampiro is a straight shooter. For a guy who literally could have passed away from his demons he's taking back his life and owning his shit. Great interview Chris and he is spot on Goals and crushing them 1 by 1.
I started out not wanting to see this video because quite frankly, I’ve never been the biggest fan of Vampiro.
But the next thing I know, I’m sitting at the very end of this video, still watching, with a newfound respect and admiration for Vampiro as a person, and understanding even more why I’m a fan of Chris Van Vliet’s interviews.
His vibe as a solid dude and fan who really has a genuine, humble interest in and love towards the wrestling industry, seems to come across to the people he interviews, getting them to open up and make the interview that much more honest and engaging.
Yet another really good interview, making me yet more of a fan of your work bro.
Keep up the great work.
Love vampiro, if I would recommend an interview Chris I'd love to see you get Sting.
STANG!
Always been a fan of Vampiro after this interview I’m even a bigger fan, I myself have had a very similar journey as he is on I’m a single dad of 3 amazing kids I’ve had a stroke I was dying and I’ve brought myself back with hard work and determination great story Vampiro keep going and thanks Chris
Vampiro! One of my fav.. everytime he wrestled here in Puerto RIco for the IWA.
Julio A. Santiago Quirós I wrestled with him years ago in world wrestling council. I was Hercules Ayala jr
Vampiro one of my favourite wrestlers ever !!! So happy to see him doing well and staying strong 💪
Truly luved this interview..thank you for sharing..we really do need to talk about mental health issues.
Vampiro you rock
I'm surprised you didn't edit half of this out CVV, props to you! Loved the interview.
Nobody:
Vampiro: Did you know I'm a musician and punk rock fan who influenced thousands of people??!
Don't get me wrong, loved him since WCW. Great to see him healthy and doing well, just taking the piss.
I CREATED YOU !
obviously
HELL YEA!
Dead meme be oringal please
He has such a positive and amazing outlook on life. Even though he forgets a lot, he uses that as an advantage to experience life again like it was new and his first time.
I never thought of it that way and that really resonated with me. Thank you for this interview. Vampiro is truly a treasure.
Before AEW the best wrestling thing to happen was Lucha Underground. And then they ruined it. But hey, atleast we got Lucha Brothers out of it.
Lobossumi still had 3 great seasons, by far my favorite promotion ever
Damn shame bout Lucha Underground I loved it and was needed alternative but you can see the wrestlers from there succeeding because of Lucha Underground
LU was what got me back into wrestling, left once I realized season 3 wasnt going to Netflix. Back thanks to AEW.
Best wrestling thing is AEW?? lmaoooooooooooooooo
@@Francisah AEW is the best
Thank you for interviewing the legend Vampiro! Great to hear he’s doing well!
Thanks to Vampiro for making this spur of the moment interview happen!

I mean either that's sad to get really sick but at the same time I'm one of the people that really said that Vampiro should be on your show I just want to hear what he has to say but wrestling today don't say that was me but I didn't think it'd be great to hear what he has to say about blessing today when he was told her anything about less than Journal wrestling in general
Chris if you can please tell Vampiro to try a keto vegan diet. It might improve the artritis symptoms, improve his mood and the best of all it might stop or set back the early symptoms of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's desease. I will really appreciate if you share this peace of advice. Cheers from Mexico. Big fan of your show and from Vampiro.
thank you that was one of my favorite interviews you did. but you spelled his website wrong. its vampirotv not vampriotv :) just want to point that out.
Hey Chris. Vampiros website is spelled wrong on your comment. It doesn't work. Thanks for this awesome interview.
After this I want to email aew I don't have Twitter I don't have Facebook I want to email aew Andaman a Chris Jericho Vampiro match
Imagine Vampiro going “wtf was that?” to every botch on aew. I’d love that
He'd be perfect for it
Damn straight, especially when the AEW owner tries to be like fucking Vince LMAO
None of these comments aged well
Absolute legend! Love vampiro. Would be amazing to see him and jericho go into a angle. Hope they both sort things out and can come together one day, I think the matches would be classics!
Vampiro vs Pentagon in Lucha Underground was a match i'll remember forever. I was 14 at the time and that reveal they did after the match was one of the rare surreal out of body experience that I've ever had again till the undertaker lost his streak. I had true goosebumbs that day and it made me fall in love with wrestling like never before. Thank you Vampiro because you're one of the reasons I fell in love with wrestling.
For anyone doubting Vampiro’s condition, short term memory is the first thing to go. I look after a family member with a similar situation due to chronic substance abuse. Sometimes they get very confused or angry because they feel helpless or lost and don’t want to ask for help. Losing that sense of independence out of nowhere is traumatic. They need support but don’t want to ask for it or to be a burden. Many times they’re unaware that something is wrong. It can happen for seconds or minutes or last much longer. It’s like a glitch but it never goes away. Be kind and be patient with them and hope you are never in the same position one day. Stay healthy.
Coulda had something to do with the sleeping pills and the 600-700 percocets per week
Man, I love Vampiro! He's always kept it real in every interview I've seen. His run in WCW when he was rolling with the guys from the Misfits was such a highlight for me. Glad he's clean, and taking care of himself.
When he says Fenix he's talking about Pentagon.. Btw Pentagon still does dumb things like stalling too much in his matches but the crowd still connects to him.
Hmmm pentagon just has his own style. If he's not stalling he's wrestling really fast and on his game.
Alex yeah i fuckin love Penta but the taunt is hella overused. Think he’ll be a top heel in the company one day. ( hopefully)
He's just so fucking charismatic in the ring. I'm cool with him stalling and strutting and doing his zero miedo all the time
I'm not the biggest Pentagon fan, but that stupid walk and glove thing is his gimmick. It's exactly the same as when Road Dogg did the shimmy walk and goofy punches, and nobody cared. It popped the crowd, and that's why Pentagon does it.
Daniel LaDue yeah could you agree it’s a little over done though? Lol
I've been a fan of Vampiro since I saw him in WCW. I've always been a huge fan. It's always great to listen to him talk, too. Lucha Underground was gold.
over an hour of CVV interview goodness! damn, I better clear my schedule!
;)
A great interview. Vampiro has always been a hero and an inspiration, and it's great to see and hear him elaborate on such a personal level.
Top of the year, Chris killing it with good interviews.
This is horribly underrated. More people need to watch this episode
10:50 he has such a positive outlook on something so scary I wish him the best man
19:12 i totally get it man theres creative differences. Ive had that with other content creators we dont see eye to eye it doesn't mean we hate each other it just means we cant do our best work together
Great JOB CHRIS . Cant wait for this too. Good stuff.

Joe Cronin Show joeyy
Watch out for Ryback, Joe

This is why I love Vampiro he's brutally honest and doesn't regret a thing. I hope he's doing well with his health & everything in life. Big fan since WCW & Lucha Underground.
I absolutely love this interview it was so real and positive also very refreshing. thank you Vampiro I really needed to hear this because of the health issues I am going through.
Just 15 minutes in and really appreciate his outlook on memories and what he does to continue living his life
100% Glad this has happen
you are AMAZING to interview people bruh, you like to listen, you engage honestly, you're a fucking good friend, a fucking great fucking human being... this is not about you, it's about you interacting with cool people in a really respectful friendly way... you're the fucking MVP Chris
I imagine there is a lot of "stories" in this interview
I still remember Cartoon Network turning to tnt on a Saturday night here in Australia when I was 11. Year 2000 I was watching nitro on a Saturday night and the only wrestler that I can vividly remember is Vampiro. I loved this interview!!!
Vampiro is one tough mfkr, he was born in Thunder Bay & you have to be able to live in -40 to -50 temperatures in winter here, only tough guys can do that here! :)
Yeah! I'm from the mean streets of fort William!
@@tylercooke1288 :)
@@xoynialedmc We all are in T bay! lmfao :)
P.A here!
It was kinda heart breaking yet incredible & inspiring to hear Vamp talk about his Alzheimer's. His outlook on something so incredibly hard is awesome & enlightening. But our knowledge of that illness & our experiences of it with other family members, & knowing that it starts off bad & ends up worse...it makes it hard to hear about for me. But I'd much rather it be harder for me than it is for his him. Thank you for everything, Vamp. & thank you Chris
Chris really does do some of the best interviews around...
This is an amazing interview! Much respect Chris and Vampiro! Vampiro vs Undertaker would be a dream match.
He looks like Elon Musk crossed with Jerry Lawler
Any vampiro fans who haven’t heard his skits on ICP’s Forgotten Freshness 3, I’d highly recommend it
He kinda reminds me of Corey Taylor from Slipknot lol
"I truly am a juggalotus"
BHAHAHAH so true!!!! Whoop Whoop! Do you Gather?
Yes good stuff
Juggalotus super unknown hero, Vampiro.
I’m just so glad I got to go to Lucha Underground before it ended. Truly a unique wrestling experience no other company can match.
Glad he’s looking healthier, always enjoyed the character and he definitely looked intimidating in the ring. Came from nothing and made a name for himself
thnx for the interview chris, i've been looking everywhere for updates on vampiro and only a few mexican channels have shown anything. he was a great wrestler in wcw and just in general, so i was shocked when no one was interviewing after his time past or even his illness. he could of gone further in his career but they never gave him the chance. either way i enjoyed watching him and he looked fucking cool with his braids and paint.
Hes bringing more heat in this interview than anything ive seen in a while, building potential matches!
Addicted to Profit I know i smoked almost 5 cigarettes with that heat
Hopefully aew will be ruined am fans will have no choice then to watch WWE
Aries brought more heat in his interview with Chris
Damn Chris, the interviews are becoming top notch...Keep up the great work!
Love this channel best interviewer ever and so far some big names of this year
I have to say, this is one of the best interviews CCV has done. For sure a FANTASTIC start to 2020.
Man we really need that Alicia Fox interview 🤣🤣
I'm legit surprised she's still on Vince's payroll. Not being funny
@@anthonybarnes1903 he knows aew will pick her up and let her live up to her potential, cant have that now. Vince has to keep his cattle in cages.
I'd like to see that.
Wow I loved Vampiro s a wrestler, The Misfits angle was truly sick as Hell. I was into Punk back then and Horror Rock So that was amazing. This interview is truly great seeing Vamipiro in a totally new light. I have even more respect and Love for the Guy after seeing this..Thanx Chris for doing this interview.
Great interview. After 80 mins of watching I can’t decide if I think he’s amazing or annoying 😂 but massively entertaining either way.
you annoying you fuck you, so , now go away. problem solved!
Man, what a great interview! I'm a mexican Vampiro Canadiense fan from Mexico and he's a True Legend here, so so humble wise person he is, mad respect and props to him, we miss you a lot!
Vampiro is very likable - I'm glad he did this interview..................... JT
How do you not love Vampiro. I've always loved his work. I hope everything works out for him 🙏
This guy is of of them crazy friends that you need cuz when shit goes down his got your back to fight
Vampiro will always be one of my all time fav’s
So heavily underutilized in WCW and never picked up in WWE.. could’ve been a champ in both companies
