00:00Hello and welcome to WrestleTalk with the Rabbit Beaver and joining me at this time
00:16is none other than the newly crowned SPCW, that's right, Southern Pride Championship
00:20Wrestling America Champion, the Iron Raider of professional wrestling. You may know him
00:26from Pro Wrestling Entertainment, the School of Morton 505, Southern Pride Championship
00:32Wrestling, NWA JCP, NWA Crossfire Professional Wrestling, and many others. Mr. Connor Martin
00:39is here. Connor, thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to be here. We have
00:43a lot to talk about tonight. Are you ready?
00:45Oh, yes. Thank you for having me, Joe. I'm very excited to talk about tonight.
00:49Excellent. Connor, let's begin by talking about what made you want to be a professional
00:53wrestler. Take us all the way back to the very beginning.
00:56Boy, man, I could go on forever, but I'll try to be as quick about it as I can. So my
01:02first memory of professional wrestling was I was at my grandparents' house when I was
01:06a little boy and my cousins were playing this video game on the Wii. I remember walking
01:12up to it and one of my cousins was like, hey, Connor, watch this. And it was this wrestling
01:17character. He spit water out of his mouth and spit it again. I was like, huh, that's
01:22pretty cool. Fast forward a little bit, and I'm watching Monday Night Raw at my other
01:26grandparents' house, and it's that segment where Randy Orton kisses Stephanie McMahon
01:32on the lips while Triple H is handcuffed. Well, little did I know that Triple H was
01:36the same guy that did the thing in the video game. And I've been doing that since I saw
01:41it for the first time, and I fell in love with that. So Triple H has always been my
01:44favorite guy. I just didn't know it until I figured it out one day. But the whole spit
01:48take, I think that was my first thing. I'm like, huh, that's pretty cool. You know, being
01:52a little kid. And then I just got invested into it ever since then and just started following
01:56it and just tried to, you know, keep up with the best I can.
01:59Yeah, absolutely. I mean, we all started somewhere. I've told this several times on the show,
02:05but I'll tell it again. The match that actually made me want to get into professional wrestling
02:10and be involved in professional wrestling was the Hart Foundation versus Demolition
02:15at SummerSlam in the early 90s. And the Road Warriors came out, of course, and let it go.
02:20And look, you've got a crowd coming in here for the American champion right now. There's
02:23a lot of them coming in talking for you, buddy. Daniel Sutton is here. Isaiah Edwards is here.
02:28All of them have come out.
02:31That was the match that really made me want to get into professional wrestling as a kid.
02:35We had a tape of it. I'm telling my age, VHS. You know, we had a VHS tape and we would watch
02:40it over and over and over and over. And it just, it held something inside you. It set
02:45a fire to you, I guess I could say. So for you coming out and saying that that match
02:50was the one that really did it to you, where he just definitely kissed Stephanie, that
02:55was, that's something special.
02:56It's like freaking out with hair in the face. I was like, this guy, this guy's a bad-ass
03:01dude. This is cool.
03:03All right. So from that to breaking into the business, how did you get in and where did
03:08you train and what's the journey looked like for you?
03:11You know, man, my story is kind of similar to most people. I mean, I played college football
03:16at Maryville college for five years and unfortunately I didn't have the talents to make it to the
03:20national football league, which is fine. God has different plans for me. So I just choose
03:24to trust his plan. And this is why I know that I'm in his hands. One day I looked up
03:31wrestling schools near me just randomly. I happened to find a JPWA. I looked into it.
03:38I called whoever it was who I think it was Jamal at the time. I called him and got the
03:45paperwork filled out, all that stuff. And you know, ended up being the, turns out it's
03:49the best place you can train in the world for professional wrestling. Turns out you're
03:52trained by the best professional wrestler trainer in the world. And all of that, I didn't
03:57know before I, I could have been trained by someone in their backyard and I would have
04:01never known a difference. So that's how I know the Lord has my back in this whole plan
04:06and that there's a reason why I found that place.
04:08So I'm very blessed because it could have gone really, it could have gone a whole different
04:11way, but thankfully it's gone probably the best it could have gone. So there's that.
04:17And I believe we were talking about it earlier before you came on the show, but you just
04:21found the right place at the right time and the doors just opened for you. And that's
04:26a very, very, very hard thing to do inside any business. It doesn't matter what you're
04:30running, but God really has blessed you and put you in the right place in front of the
04:34right people at the right time. And you are definitely one of the hottest talents in the
04:39Southeast, if not the hottest talent in the Southeast working currently. Now, I'm not
04:43trying to build your head up, but I'm telling you, man, you've got what it takes. They call
04:46it the it factor of professional wrestling. And I'm telling you when people watch you,
04:51they know you have the it factor it's there. It's very visible to be there. So, I mean,
04:57you got it going on, man.
04:58Thank you, man. That means a lot.
05:00You're very welcome. So let's kind of venture a little bit into where, where you're getting
05:04booked. We've seen you all over. So we know you're getting noticed and you're getting
05:08seen across multiple regions. So we got to know who is your favorite to work for and
05:13why?
05:14Oh, man, that's hard to do. I can't do that. I have too many people I love and too many
05:19promoters I care about. I don't want to, I don't want to burn any bridges. I'm very blessed
05:24to work for all of them. Let's just put it there. I'm very blessed to be working for
05:28all of them. You know, so I'm not, I'm not going to pick a favorite. I love them all
05:31to death. If it came down to it, maybe there's some I'd work before, before others, but right
05:37now I'm very blessed to just work where I can. And all, all the promotions we talked
05:41about before this, I'm extremely blessed to be on all of them. So I can't.
05:45That's an extremely great answer because you didn't put anybody before anybody else. And
05:50also that shows how humble you are and what you're willing to do. That's very great mind
05:54inside the business. Let's move on a little bit. We recently got to see you win that American
05:59championship at Southern pride championship wrestling and took some footage for the fans
06:04watching at home on our reels on Facebook and also on Tik TOK also on YouTube. If you
06:09guys are out there wanting to watch it, you can just follow us and we'll have that out
06:12for you. What was that moment like when you realized that you were giving that championship,
06:18knowing all the hard work has paid off for you?
06:21I mean, it was just kind of like a surreal moment. Cause I mean, as a kid, you play with
06:26all these little plastic belts and you just pretend to be like champions and then to finally
06:30be a champion for something, it was kind of cool. And it doesn't matter how smart the
06:35promotion is. I was talking to one of my buddies about this. It's the fact that somebody has
06:39enough faith and enough trust in you to represent their company, to represent their promotion.
06:44So that, that in itself means a lot to me. So I'm very grateful that I won my first championship
06:50and was for a great PR for a great promotion like SPCW.
06:55Excellent. So we, uh, we've got to ask you because we watched it and I hate to even mention
07:00it, but the moment was ruined by Vaughn Miller. Do you want to talk about it a little bit?
07:06And we're going to show it.
07:07Sure. We can talk about it.
07:08All right. Let's get right over to it guys. It'll pop. All right. As you guys are seeing
07:16right here, Vaughn Miller is raising Connor Martin's hand after he was crowned that America
07:21championship. And then, Oh, a low blow out of nowhere. Do you think it was jealousy?
07:29Do you think it was just a mixture of things? What's going on through your mind?
07:33To tell you the truth, man, me and Vaughn were pretty good friends before that. And
07:38I was so excited when I found out we were wrestling each other and I could not have
07:42been more thrilled. So the fact that that man, that coward stabbed me in the back and
07:49went low on me during one of my best wrestling moments, if not the best, best wrestling
07:53moment in my career so far, that just shows his true colors. And that's pure jealousy
07:57and pure hate in his heart.
08:00Well, we have to ask, I mean, we, we, we wouldn't be doing our jobs properly if we didn't. I
08:05know that you and Vaughn are in several promotions together. Do you think this is going to bleed
08:09over into those promotions such as the school of Morton?
08:11You know, to be honest with you, I don't really care where it goes. This is personal between
08:17me and him. So if he wants to fight me at school one, he wants to fight me at crossfire.
08:20I don't give a crap. I'll fight him anywhere. He made it personal when he ruined that moment
08:24for me. That was supposed to be a special moment for both of us. And he let the jealousy
08:29consume him. So yes, I'll fight him wherever. I don't care if it's at one of the promotions
08:34we named or it has to be some random promotion. I don't care if it's across the country or
08:37if it's across the world, I will fight Vaughn Miller anywhere. I'll put him back in his
08:41place.
08:44So we just mentioned it a few minutes ago. You're at the new school of Morton coming
08:47up on in November, right? November 3rd, I believe they're hosting right there. What's
08:52going to happen? How's that going to be for you?
08:55Right now I'm scheduled to be in a battle royale, but I trust that I have a little bit
09:00more planned for me. So, you know, it's been a long process trying to build back up what
09:05they had, you know, moving from the Chucky Dome down to the Kingsport. So hopefully everything
09:10can go better with that. And I'm really excited for Friday night. I think it's gonna be a
09:13great event. It's gonna be a great welcome back for SOM. So it's going to be a good night.
09:17Get your tickets. There's a QR code. Click on the link below. Don't be afraid to show
09:21up. Come on.
09:24And remember guys, those tickets are very limited. So you definitely want to get them
09:26now if you have the opportunity to do that for Friday night, November 3rd, it's going
09:30to be great. There's going to be so many matches that are going to be taking place there, including
09:34one Casey Kazana and also none other than the Golden Child, Evan Golden himself. And
09:39that thing is white hot. Connor, do you have an opinion on what's going to be happening
09:42there?
09:43You know, both very talented wrestlers with very talented individuals inside and outside
09:48of the ring. I can't lie. But you know, Casey's hot. Casey's hot. He just, you know, he's
09:55killing the NWA. But Evan Golden's been killing it on the independent scene. So it'll be a
09:58great matchup. And I really cannot wait to watch it. I'm not gonna say who I think is
10:02gonna win. I think most people know who I think is gonna win. But I'll just leave it
10:07at that. It's gonna be a great match. So don't miss it, folks. It's gonna be great.
10:11Absolutely. Get your tickets now, guys. Don't forget to go back. If you're watching this
10:15and rewatch this, scan that QR code or we'll put it back one more time for you guys just
10:19so that you can get your tickets directly. Don't forget to scan this code for Fright
10:24Night for the School of Morton right there. Connor Martin, the Iron Raider of professional
10:28wrestling is gonna be there. He's gonna be in action. And you definitely don't wanna
10:32miss him right there at Fright Night, guys. If you have the opportunity, it is definitely
10:36gonna be a great place for you to be. School of Morton is doing some awesome things. Connor
10:41Martin, do you have anything that you'd like to say to anybody there?
10:45Hey, all my School of Morton family, it's been too long. I've seen a few of y'all. I
10:50saw some of you guys at the Innovate Show last Sunday. But I haven't seen most of you
10:54guys. I miss you guys a lot. It's like a family there. Especially being in that small little
10:59Chuck E. Dome. It was a blast. Hey, it had its moments, but it made you get closer to
11:03the people in the locker room. So I'm very excited to move on to bigger and better things
11:08for School of Morton. And I just can't wait to see everybody. I miss them. I miss them
11:11a lot. It's like family.
11:13Awesome. Connor, we have enjoyed the journey a lot watching you grow, getting to see you
11:18and be a part of your awesome entering talent. And we want the world to know that you're
11:24absolutely the future of this business. Being that person is gonna be a lot of things thrown
11:30at you. You're gonna have a lot of stuff thrown at you to stop you. How will you stay
11:34focused not only to become the best, but also to keep the values that you currently have?
11:39You know, kind of like I said earlier, just have faith in God, have faith in his plan,
11:43and just trust what he has planned for us. And you know, just don't lose that hunger
11:47inside of you. You know, I remember when I first applied for the JPWA, it took them,
11:53they normally say it takes two weeks to respond back. I didn't get a message back till 10
11:58days before the first day of class. So I've had a hunger since I started. And I remember
12:06one of the people I reached out to about how to start wrestling was AJ Kizana. And he told
12:11me something that has stuck with me ever since. He said, don't let me down. And I took that
12:17to heart. And I try to remember that and carry that with me everywhere I go and just try
12:21to remember what he said and like, don't let him down. And then there's just other people
12:25back home and here in Maryville, Tennessee, back in Cumming, Georgia, who are watching
12:31me and like they are loving this because they think this is what I'm meant to do. So I just
12:34got to, I got to show them that they're right. I got to prove it to myself. I got to prove
12:38it to them because you know, I love it and they're behind it. So you know, got a lot
12:42of people to, got a lot of people support. So can't let it down.
12:47Absolutely, Connor. Now we've got a, we know you've got some upcoming events about to take
12:51place, specifically the Battle of Burton 2 in Norton, Virginia. You want to talk about
12:56that for a minute? We'll put it on the screen. Yeah, it's actually my first time being in
13:01Virginia. I had to get my license and that was a, that's been a process, man. Like I
13:04didn't, I didn't realize you had to get licenses and this stuff. This is kind of cool. Like,
13:08I mean, I'm excited for it. I mean, I know it's RT3's big promotion, so I hopefully we
13:12can have a good time for him and like, I'll be excited. I can't thank Joe Briggs, even
13:17though he's, he's an evil guy, but you know, he helped me, he helped get me on the show,
13:20but I ain't a big fan of him right now, but he did help me. He helped me get on the show
13:24a lot. So. You know, that's the, that's the funny thing about the Doctor of Destruction
13:29is he might destroy you inside the ring, but outside of the ring, that man will give you
13:33the shirt off his back to help you succeed in life. And if that means you got to run
13:37through him, you're going to have to run through him. And at one point in time, you just may
13:41cross paths with him, Connor, and God be with you that day when it comes.
13:46Yeah, I slept in the ring with him one time. He's a talent for sure, but he's evil. Well,
13:52I don't know if I like him, but. So what's going on at the Battle of Burton?
13:56Do they, have they got you the card out who you're facing yet?
13:59Uh, not me yet, actually. I'm not sure. Uh, I actually needed to message RT3 about that
14:04because I'm not sure. I know I am booked because I'm on the poster clear, but I haven't gotten
14:08the card yet. Some people have the card. I think some of them know they're wrestling.
14:12I haven't, I haven't seen a card yet. So I'm actually excited to figure that out.
14:16I'll tell you what, as soon as you know, something, you message me and I'll put it
14:20out on WrestleTalk with a rabid beaver for you. I'll put it on Facebook. I'll put it on YouTube.
14:24I'll put it everywhere so that we know. And that way we can get you get, get you together. Now,
14:28as you see here, guys, tickets are going to be $10 for the adults to this show. Kids ages 12 and
14:34under are going to be $5. Kids under that will be free. So anything that's over there will be free.
14:40There's lots of tickets available. You can get it at Will Trotter mania is where you can go on
14:45Facebook to get those tickets right there. And as you see, it's a stat card. You've got Tyler
14:50Shoup. You've got Casey Kazana. You got the iron Raider of professional wrestling, Connor Martin
14:55himself. You've got the doctor of destruction, Joe Briggs, and so many more. Jimmy Valiant is
14:59going to be there as well. You definitely don't want to miss this as it comes up. You guys want
15:04to get your tickets now, get them early. That way, whenever you show up, you're ready just to
15:08walk through the doors as it comes. They iron Raider. Do you have to, do you want to say anything
15:13right now to anybody at the battle of Burton too? Hey man, the iron Raider is ready to make his
15:18Virginia debut. It's going to be awesome. That's right, Connor. We appreciate that so much.
15:24Connor, we know that Wrestlecade is coming up as well as well. Have you been asked to go for any
15:29promotion? I actually have not, believe it or not, but I'm okay with that. I'm not sure if I'll be
15:34going or not. I've been asked by a lot of people if I'm going, so I might go. It's not, how far is
15:39it? It's Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Yes, sir. How far of a drive is
15:44that from East, about East Tennessee, like Knoxville area? Well, if 40 was still open, it's about three
15:49and a half hours, but since 40 is closed, you're looking at about five to five and a half hours to
15:53go around. Okay. I mean, it depends. It's easier to fly in, you know, to be honest with you.
16:01It's still up in the air. When's the date for Wrestlecade again?
16:05Don't quote me on this, but I believe it's the 28th and the 29th. I think it's the 27th, 28th,
16:10and 29th of next month. If I'm not mistaken, I will find out for you and I'll let you know.
16:16Well, I mean, if somebody wants me to represent their promotion, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I mean,
16:20I'd love to do it, but I get it. New guy. Still, there's more veterans who need to do it, so I
16:25understand. I'm not going to be upset, but I might go. I might go. It just depends.
16:31Austin wants to know if you're going to be his best man.
16:36I love my guy. He's a goof boy. He's a goof.
16:41That's awesome, buddy. Connor, we got to see at Crossfire NWA just a week ago.
16:46How honoring is it to be with the world-class group of professionals such as Tommy Henry
16:51and the Page Sisters? Man, I don't even know where to start with those individuals. Tommy,
16:57Kenzie, and Kylie, they have been too good to me. They took a kid who just graduated from
17:05wrestling school and they have trusted him and they have given him a chance to
17:10represent their promotion and fight for their promotion and potentially be one of their top
17:14stars in the near future. I can't thank those three enough. They have been such a blessing to
17:20me and I love working for Crossfire Wrestling. I will do anything and everything. I will bend
17:26and break my back for that promotion. I love them and I love that promotion. Thank you guys so much.
17:31The Page Sisters and Tommy have been so good to us at WrestleTalk with a Rabbit Bieber,
17:35giving us unprecedented access to their events every time that they hold them and also letting
17:41us advertise for them. I mean, they've done so much for us that we're so grateful for those people.
17:46Hey, speaking of Crossfire, are you going to be at the night of Murdoch, Friday, November 15th?
17:54Hey, where's that event going to be held at?
17:57Maryville, Tennessee, baby.
18:00I'll be there.
18:01Absolutely. I believe you will.
18:03I expect a lot of my people to be there as well. It's going to be a big night for the Iron Raider.
18:09I'd be there if I were you.
18:10I would hope that would be a great night for you, especially as a homecoming
18:14for the Iron Raider of professional wrestling, Connor Martin.
18:17You definitely don't want to miss that as well.
18:19Definitely get your tickets now at KFW events.
18:21You can also get them off of the poster at Will Trotter Mania.
18:24You can find it at KFW live events.
18:27I believe they're also doing brown paper bag tickets as well.
18:30I don't know the event number on that, but I will find out for you guys that are watching
18:34and we will put that on our Facebook page as soon as we know.
18:36We will have that out there and available for you as well.
18:40Now, with that coming back to Maryville, with it being a homecoming for
18:44you, do you have any words for anybody that's going to be there,
18:47that is going to be facing the Iron Raider of professional wrestling?
18:51Hey man, if you're facing me, get ready to be the most hated person in Maryville, Tennessee.
18:57That's all I got to say.
18:58It doesn't matter if you're an established figure or not.
19:01If you're fighting me in Maryville, Tennessee, you will be hated that night.
19:05Sorry, I don't care if you're Tom Murdock.
19:07I don't care if you're Tom Latimer.
19:10I don't care if you're one of the Page sisters.
19:12Love y'all.
19:12But if you're fighting me in Maryville, I'm sorry.
19:15I'm going to have a crowd there and they're going to be behind me.
19:19I would absolutely agree for you, especially since it's being your homecoming.
19:22And it doesn't matter who it is.
19:23It doesn't matter if it's that little evil Rolando.
19:26You're going to take them on.
19:27You're going to have a great time at Crossfire Professional Wrestling.
19:31Once again, at the Bird and Brook Tavern in Maryville, Tennessee, Friday, November 15th.
19:37Get your tickets now to see the Iron Raider of professional wrestling.
19:40Mr. Connor Martin right now.
19:43We also got to see you in JCP a few weeks back.
19:46Is there anyone you'd like to challenge in the NWA and its territories?
19:53You know, actually, there's a long list of people I love to challenge.
19:56And, uh, you know, honestly, the next person, whoever, whoever wants to step up, I'll fight
20:02anybody.
20:03I don't care if it's Silas Mason, Jax Dane, AJ Kazana.
20:07I'd love to step in the ring with that guy again.
20:09Or if it's Tyler Shoup, that's the championship looks really pretty on him.
20:12But I think it would be on the Iron Raiders waist.
20:16Speaking of JCP and the NWA and you trying to challenge people out there, we know that
20:22they have a live event coming up Sunday, October 20th, 2024.
20:26Let's get over to the live scene for you guys.
20:28So you can see that as well.
20:29The territory is going to be taking place.
20:32And as you see here, the challenge has been made from the Iron Raider of professional
20:36wrestling, Connor Martin himself.
20:38Do you think anybody will step up to that challenge and face you there, sir?
