Hey! (EW) (and RJ City specifically)’s ability to get me to like (or at least not completely hate) a wrestler I loathed completely before I watched the episode needs to be studied
How does he keep doing this? He makes them all so much more likeable. Maybe they’re all so awkward and uncomfortable that it’s endearing? Or they get to break character in a way they don’t get to in other interviews? Or RJ is that much of a delight?
I don’t know. Anyway. This happens like every other week and I have no idea how he keeps doing it
OKAY just so we're clear. thinking about the roman empire is a red flag. they're super boring and lame. they're like the greeks if instead of being gay and drunk you like, conquered people. y'know? the vibes are off.
he is SO real (transcription under cut) (also so people know RJ is very much playing an asshole interviewer character here like this is a comedy interview show)
RJ: You have said that you are on the spectrum and you're proud of it.
WILL: Yes.
RJ: I'm gonna read you a quote. "All of us autistic kids were so much better than regular normal people."
WILL: Yeah man.
RJ: "We can lock into s*** and do it. To all my autism kids out there, we're top."
WILL: Yeah buddy.
RJ: Are you shaming people without autism?
WILL: F*** yeah I am. [laughs] Yeah. Have you not got autism?
RJ: I don't have it, and now I feel bad about it!
WILL: You should. You should.
RJ: Why are we ascribing values? We're all unique in our own special ways!
WILL: Nah, nah, look, look. No, because in the school system, like, I didn't find out a lot about my, I didn't find out a lot about myself until like, after I left. So like, I wasn't afforded any of like, the extra time or like, extra, like... There were so many things in my education that I really needed help on, and I didn't get that help. And it's not just me, it's a f***in' wide bunch of people. So finding out all this s*** about myself, I just wanna show people that like, y'know, like, yeah I've got autism, I've got ADHD as well, I'm super dyslexic, I can't read, I had to have someone f***in' read my contract out for me. So like, it's super embarrassing man, it really is, but like, I feel like I've got to the point where I am because of all these things that I, that make me who I am, and I wanna inspire people. So like, a lot of people like, don't take risks on people that do have like, autism around my area, and like, I would like to hope that seeing me doing all this stuff, it does inspire other people.
