ariel asking matt questions like a therapist 💀💀
Ikr Dude is hooking him like a fish on a barrel 😂😂
BROOOOOOO
Best interviewer
Ariel isn't a girls name? :D
Love Matt Riddle, he is completely honest with his answers, and he accepts responsibility for his actions.
completely honest? you could see it clearly he was lying about why he got busted for drugs. It couldn't be cocaine because its out of your system in 2 days max. It was Juice obviously.
But at the same time.....at the end of the day, he's hurt a lot of people.
Him teaming with RVD is nothing short of perfect
Just cause they both smoke ? That’s lame af.
@@WWESVRPLAYER it's like the stoners in class becoming buddies. Just feels right.
@WWESVRPLAYER Lol, though you would have a backup, huh? Lol
Actually I'd like to see him in a tag team feud with RVD and another wrestler. Would be really funny to see Randy heated in a feud with the other guy while Riddle and RVD wrestle indifferently when it's their turn
I gotta admit, I admire people who tell the truth.
I feel high just listening To him speak 😂
This was an absolutely fantastic interview, I hope Matt makes his way back to the WWE at some point, refreshing how honest he is.
Honest? He tried to destroy someone's life by falsely accusing them of sexual assault in an airport
@@BLACULA-Skeewoah falsely?
BROOOOOO hit my music my toes smell soo bad
@@BLACULA-Skeewoahhe could’ve pressed charges and u would know exactly who that employee is
It's goanna take time for him to return to WWE but I'm whiling to support for the long road I've been a fan of matt riddle since 2016 but when he debuted in NXT(2018) (WWE) I was excited. Hopefully He comes back to WWE one day.
Riddle turning on Randy was a genius idea
It would have been amazing
No it wasn't Randy does the turning. And noone cares enough about riddle
The viper does the betraying not the other way around 😂😂
@@legendkillla21it would be nice if the tables were turned for once
Genius? Literally almost every tag team or faction ends up in a feud. "Genius Booking!" 😂
Matt bring honest about everything, wish this man well
Yes he's a real class act to his wife and kids.
@@deepblue8143 wydm
The comment about Sunglass Hut got me 😂
For real
Riddle ain’t as stupid as people think he is . Hope he just sticks to smoke 💨
I'm fine with him smoking, just take it down a couple of notches 😂
Who thought he was stupid?.......( Dana turns head ) "ME!!!"
Then again, he did just talk about his cocaine usage with the NJPW TV title infront of him. Knowing that Matt Sydal was banned from entering japan for years because of weed of all things and that this interview has made some news back in Japan, we'll just have to see how this one plays out.
@@therealangelalexander1858he didn't say he's still doing coke
no really is
Riddle really needs a silent bob
😂😂😂😂
Where do I submit application
Sign Eddie Kingston and put him in a trenchcoat.
@@theevilascotcompany9255
😂😂😂
😂
this is an awesome interview. takes guts to sit there and admit your mistakes when you didn’t have to. i really hope he can stay clean.
He’s like the wrestling version of Charlie sheen lmao he’s definetly on the tiger blood 😂😂
BROOOO
Charlie sheen can actually string sentences together without using bro every other word even when he’s wasted 😂
@@UFCWWE69 fr my feet smell so bad bro
@@ConorKhabibBrunson lol wtf 😂
@UFCWWE69 he didn't say bro in any sentence bro
Chill guy. I hope things get peaceful for him.
More wrestlers please
Great interview! Can't belive it doesn't have more views.
Ariel great interview you are really looking out for him thank you !!
Respect how honest he is
What a genuine dude!! Very humble and very relatable just a cool as dude ..
I enjoyed this interview Matt's honesty is refreshing.
Matt Riddle is almost 40 years old. Just putting that out there.
Riddle is very relatable
Great interview! Very honest!
Loved this interview
Great interview
Oh damn CMLL mentioned on the mma hour! I moved from Montreal to la ciudad de mexico and the CMLL crowd is awesome, the shows are amazing!
He's baked out lol.
i have a feeling matt riddle will be back in wwe
Great interview. Hour fly bye
Great episode I really enjoyed it
Great interview !! love matt
I love the honesty from him, he is a downright genuine, good to earth Freewill guy.. free, spirited, rich with love…so mush potential from the Bro… great job Bro👍👍👍
Great to hear from Riddle. I miss his character from WWE but watching this I see the why of it all and hopefully someday he could return to TV. At the time of his WWE release I could see him plateau. There’s almost a formula for WWE release besides doing something offensive - it’s being someone who stays low on the card who can’t be worked into interesting stories. Other guys who were fired at the same time shouldn’t come back (Dolph Ziggler, Ali) because I imagine them just failing just as hard. If Riddle returned they’d have to have an amazing idea for a story but he could pull it off for sure.
Thanks Ariel for your Great work you are the best! And you never let anyone push you around this whole time! You're the Man! Congrats on all the great Work!
He's legit the same person as his character & it's great
He's not. He's working
Oh damn he can speak without a break 😅 love this guy honestly
The oh man I thought I was done I know very well lol. I have a 26yr old daughter and a 17month old beast of a son! Second chance at raising a toddler. I was 21 with my first just starting my career and was gone a lot. Enjoyed the interview
I always liked Matt Riddle, so talented !
Gangsta Riddle!🤙
I hope matt riddle does come back to wwe I miss him in wwe.
Riddle is cool bro. Like how hes open and honest.
He’s very well spoken and smart, business-wise. Yes, he was irresponsible, but he was going through a rough divorce, false allegations (likely). He deserves more sympathy from fans imo, especially since he took accountability and it really isn’t any of our business. I’m glad it seems like he’s doing better and hopefully an interview like this helps others.
love his honesty !
Riddle is more intelligent than he's given credit.
Stoners usually are i find
It's the voice that's deceiving
@@dr.loomis4221 Agreed
Really humble guy
This guy is wiser we all give him credit for. Happy he's in a good place now.
Did u watch the same interview??? He’s out of control
If he's not on coke, he's loaded up on Adderall. But I'd say he's still using coke.
Thank you.
That was an amazing interview. Had me rolling at times 😄
Riddle needs his own reality TV show. Absolute legend.
I met Matt a few times prior to his WWE run, at indies in Bristol and Cardiff UK. He was always a really nice guy. So much passion. Reminded me a lot of Chris Hero - but stoned obviously.
Sounds like a part-time WWE contract might make sense for him, a few years down the line. Until then, Matt is absolutely doing the right stuff to propel himself back into a wanted commodity - as he has done so before.
Gotta love how this dude is an open book and doesn’t hold anything back…most guys wouldn’t own up to doin coke in a strip bar, but good on Matt for being so honest
I think he's still doing coke. I hope he gets clean someday. He seems like a really good guy
@@bigrig4385why do u think that?
@@bigrig4385he's working
I miss Matt Riddle. "YOU WANT TO HIT MY BONG" I remembered that segment like it was yesterday. I crack laughing every single time😂😂
You get zero dead air with a Riddle interview lol. I meet the guy once, he was awesome.
I appreciate the honesty from Matt Riddle. Good Interview.
The best Helwani interview of a pro wrestler I’ve seen. Great work.
Great interview I agree 100%
Matt always seemed like a really kool guy, that can seriously fight lol!!! Great show AH, God Bless guys!!!
What a fascinating interview and ever more a fascinating young man. M.R. stay clean you have a bright future...don't give up!
we love you matt! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Great insight
"The coolest guy in rehab. " love it needs to be a shirt.
He's actually way smarter than he appears
A Four man Faction with The Bro Matt Riddle! Randy RKO Orton! Kevin KO Owen's! The Dude Rob Van Dam! Call them R KO Bro Dude 420!!!!
God bless this dude man he’s so misunderstood! What he said about these corporate billion dollar industries was spot on! You are still a massive talent! Best of success to you in business & life Matt!
I gained a lot of respect for Matt. He was very open and a divorce can't be easy. He also mentioned that his wife was cheating on him while he's out there putting his body on the line. That was tough to hear. 😢
He is well spoken, i like how he stays in gimmick. This guy is a sharp dude. Very good interview, straight shooter if hes working everyone he is real good.
The Coolest Guy in Rehab is crazyyyy 😂
His day never ends
I hope for the best for him
What a great interview. This is one of the best interviews I have watched in awhile
Could listen to this guy all day, so candid and relatable, hope to see more of him and hoping he returns to MMA one day
We need this bro back!!!
How i admire TRUTH and empirical facts....him making these admissions make me like him a lot more.
Norm McDonald like, his cadence , norm after a few bong rips of course 😂
I was always a fan of Matt Riddle since his wrestling days at Stroudsburg.
Great interview, so open so honest. Best of luck Matt!
I always used to say that if I felt like the healthiest or coolest guy in rehab, then that’s how you know I’m with a pretty sick group of people. Respect you you Riddle for the interview though !
He was one of the best mid-Card superstar in the wwe and tag team division
Matt seems so humble I watched his match in Japan 👍
Good to see matts still wrestling. Hope he stays sober.
This guy has a future in media/podcasting for sure
I like this guy even more
I PUT MYSELF IN SITUATIONS WITH THE WRONG PEOPLE..... PERFECT ANSWER
Congrats on your new baby, Riddle! WWE really needs to consider bringing back Bro once he's had his family time. He really seems to have straightened out, but you know, he's a classic wrestler personality with the party attitude. It really plays into his persona. It's really impressive how mature he is about his ex, especially.
Took me 11 days to watch this interview and I regret not watching sooner! Good luck Riddle!!!
Riddle word of a champion
He speaks like “Spicolli” from fast times at ridgemont high. Hey bud let’s party 🎉
The only man to beat jon jones
He got the Jon Jones effect after it
I think people have been waiting for a lot of answers this interview has provided, and although we shouldn't care so much about his personal life, but it's good to have some clarity at least from his perspective about the things that have been going on with him.
I don’t think anyone could have said “I went to the strip club and did some cocaine, a couple times” any more nonchalantly. 😂
56:56 "had a buddy that worked at AEW "
Yup thats Kevin Kelly. Matt and Kevin are buddies and came up together through the Monster Factory
I feel like I have been smoking just watching/listening to Riddle. Can you get a contact high from watching a video? Always enjoyed the dude on UFC.
love him saying raaandy
nice to see matt here, but, matt should have had the decency to inform rip rogers he couldnt do his interview on rips channel. left them hanging, no word from matt on anything. then shows up doing this interview. thats messed up. not the first time hes done this to ppl no matter how big or small they are.
He can be controversial, but at least he holds himself accountable, which speaks volumes!! Was wanting Riddle to go to AEW tbh, think he will be a top guy in a few years.. also want to see RVD & Matt team up... good luck BRO
That's always the first step In rehabilitation, least he knows, I wish him luck too
Riddle so humble
He’s one of the real ones .. props to Matt riddle
Shout out Combat One!
love this guy no different from most men who do not get caught
Real guy
Welp Jeff Hardy got 12 chances this man should get a second
