RJ City has become a huge star, thanks to Fightful. Since first appearing on Fightful programming, RJ City has šappeared for both WWE and AEW.
Recently, Tony Khan š¼announced on a media call that he was a fan of RJ City's work and would be bringing him in for AEW Revolution, which is where we spoke with him.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: Think of my shock as Iām on a media caļ·½llā
RJ CITY: Yeah, howād you not get that? You heard no šrumblings about that aāll?
SEAN ROSS SAPP: Not a bit. First off, I wasš a little pissed. I was like, āThis motherfucker didnāt tell me.ā
RJ CITY: Which is great. When stuff is not actually keptš amongst wrestlersš», when itās kept among other people, no leaks get out. Which is great.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: See, I think people would assume you would šbe the weasel that would tell me stuff.
RJ CITY: Yeah. Iām not gonna talk about my ownā business, thź¦ough. I also did not know that Tony was going to mention my name on the media call.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: Exactly.
RJ CITY: Then I šÆquoted it and wrote,ą² āThis is news to me,ā and people were like, āOh, he got it wrong.ā
SEAN ROSS SAPP: So, I didnāt know you were going to WWE, didnāt know that you stopped working for them, that you were headinź¦ŗg to AEW.
RJ CITY: Well, you had a little idea about WWE.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: Waš¼it, I got one. I knew yāØou were turning babyface.
RJ CITY: Okay.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: Beforehand.
RJ CITY: Didnāt I announce it on your program?
SEAN ROSS SAPP: I think so. Maybe. Everybody found out ļ·½when I found out.
RJ CITY: Yeah, it was aš§ great time for us, you knowā±? I kept it from you and I surprised you and in many ways I surprised myself.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: The Grim Reaperās coming for you, you knš ow that?
RJ CITY: Well, isnāt the Grim Ršeaper coming forā± us all?
SEAN ROSS SAPP: I guess you could say that.
RJ CITY: Doesnāt death march onward no matter how we try to escašpe it? No matter how we try to defeat old father time we all succumb? Not just us, buildings crumble. Leaves dry up, they fall off the trš¬ees. Soil grows dry, you know? But weāre here. Weāre spinning and weāre making the best of it largely by making stupid videos. Thatās what weāve chosen to do. We could have joined a missionary or something.
SEAN ROSS SAPPš§: Speaking of mission, I told you Iām bumping you as soon as Rosa shows uź¦æp.
RJ CITY: Whatās going on here?
THUNDER ROSA: Hi.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: Listen, I appreciate the factā
RJ CITY: You started, āOh, how are you here?ā I started to open šup and I reallyź§ thought you have me on and itās all shtick, shtick, shtick, and I thought we were about to have a genuine moment.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: We were. We were.
THUNDER ROšSA: Iāll just draggedā± myself out of here, honestly. Okay, Iāll leave you to your interview.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: No! That was the bit! I gotta actuallāy talk to him now.
RJ šCITY: No, no. That was it. š°I have nothing to say. No, she doesnāt want toāokay.
RJ CITY: Go ahead. Okay, three minutes.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: Weāll do three minutes and I want to know, hošw the hell you ended up here? I mean, legitimately, all jokes aside, youāre very talented, very funny.
RJ CITY: Yeah, but,š ŗ people are like, āāThe hell am I gonna do ź§with this person?ā
SEAN ROSš¦©S SAPP: But the fact that Tony Khan himself went, āHeh, LOL,ā and called you up.
RJ CITY: Twitter can be š °an evil,š§ miserable place, can also lead to beautiful things.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: He saw our inį©į©į©į©į©į©ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©š±į©į©į©terview and the ass eating tweet andā
RJ CITY: Said, āBring me Ed Asner,ā āSir, heās pš»assed away,ā and he said, āGet me the next best thing.ā
SEAN ROSS SAź¦PP: āGet me the guy that was š§talking about him.ā
RJ CITY: Yeah.
SEAš„N ROSS SAPP: Then you said, āAlright, I gotta get my best ass eating material.ā
RJ CITY: Yeah, I guź§ess so. But, I guess I can say, you knowāwhenš“ does this come out? February?
SEAN ROSS SAPš¤”P: I donāt think itās gonna be time sensiš”tive.
RJ CITY: Oh, my God. Well, maybe by this point there wonāt be more tź§o come.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: Oh, boy.
RJ CITY: Maybe itāll get outš and theyāll be like, āHe is just useless. He just has the same three jokes.ā
SEAN ROSS SAPP: I dšo want you to plug your stuff. Tell pāeople where they can find you.
RJ CITY: You tell them. Youāre supposedš» to be the professionš al. Oh, my God.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: I gotta show you an actualā
RJ CITY: Wait a minute. Regis used to do his shows, Spike Lee used to come on. He didnāt go, āSpike, when does yą¼ŗour movie come out?ā He had it in the prompter, he had it on cards.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: I gotta show you a series of text messages that I goź§t.
RJ CITY: From? Tito Santana?
SEAN šROSS SAPP: From the Ceaāse Twins, Allie and Emily C.
RJ CITY: The Deź¦°ceased Twins? Thį¦eyāre no longer with us?
SEAN ROSS SAPP: No, no. Theyāre very much alive.
RJ CITY: Is this about me?
SEAN ROSS SAPP: āRJ City is here.ā I said, āTell him you know mešø,ā and they said, āHe has his gear with him.ā So I said, āSo, a mic and a cup of coffee.ā
RJ CITY: And? That turned out to be absolutely the case. Who are the Ceased š°Twins?
SEAN ROSS SAPP: Theyāre for the ruckus.
RJ CITY: Okay. I donāt wantš to be a part of this weird group. No, youāre trying to do hand signs and sell t-shirts.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: For the ruckus
RJ CITY: No, no. I donāt want to beāno. These fads blow in and blow out like the slinky. When was the last time you played with a slinky? Thatās what I thought. Thunder Rosa is here. First of alšl, she has a career, number one, and number two, a little more of a personality than I have at this point.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: She has a good one, yeah.
RJ CITY: Sheās excited about things and I think thatās the enerš gy you want at this point. But I want to thank you, at least, for yš§our consistency.
āØSEAN ROSS SAPP:š§ Yes. I am, if nothing else, consistent, at the very least.
RJ CITY: Yš ou want me to keep this going or hand it off, is this like a šŖlittle relay? Weāve got one nice long take you donāt have to edit.
SEAN ROSS SAPP: Until next time, weāre out.
