Kit Wilson appeared on "INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet" for a new interview that was released on Tuesday.
While on the popular pro wrestling program, the Pretty Deadly tag-team member spoke about his talk with Paul 'Triple H' Levesque regarding changes to his character for his current singles run on SmackDown, as well as his new theme song going viral.
The following are some of the highlights.
On his new WWE theme song going viral: “I ended up having a fair amount of input. I was pushing for new music when I kind of found out what the situation was going to be and maybe I was gonna go solo. I started messaging a lot, saying, ‘I would love new music, can I get new music?’ Then eventually I got into contact with Neil [Lawi, the head of WWE Music Group], I believe, and then he called me. We had a little discussion on the phone. He said, ‘What kind of thing are you looking for?’ So I said, ‘Can I send you an email?’ Got off the phone and I started writing this email just with all my references, with all the songs I like, with all the ideas I had, lyrics, kind of the theme of it, the vibe of it. So I had so much [input].”
On character changes heading into his current singles run: “It was scary going from Pretty Deadly [to] being a singles guy, because our whole career in this company was Pretty Deadly. And I remember kind of having a discussion, and I think I was talking to Triple H, and he said, ‘Do you still want this music? Do you still want the ‘Yes Boy?’ Do you still want this aspect?’ And I did, and I cherish so much of that. That was so much of who I was as a person. I was scared, but I just felt like if we’re going to this new chapter, we have to go. So I said, ‘I want to get rid of all of that.’ And then obviously it comes back if it comes back, but I just wanted to start new. And I think, as you say, a fresh new start is, it’s going pretty good.”
