PCW Episode 4: The Goth Saga

Controversy follows the wrestler... known as "Goth."

Second generation wrestler Logan Price joins the Platinum Championship Wrestling stable but not without a measure of resistance.

Full video transcript below:

Stephen Platinum (in locker room):

"Introducing Goth. Everybody this is Goth. Say, 'Hi, Goth.'"

Wrestlers (in locker room):

"Hi, Goth!"

Platinum (in locker room):

"I want shock and awe of, 'Holy crap. What just hit the ring.'"

Platinum:

"We have the ongoing Goth saga. We used Goth last week and he's been a royal pain in the ass."

Logan Price "Goth":

I'm a 16 year veteran in this business.

Platinum:

"He's a veteran. He's been around the indie scene for years."

Goth:

"I don't go 9 to 5 and hit a time clock during the week and then come the weekend put on a pair of tights and think that I'm playing superhero for the weekend."

Platinum:

"He's used to having to protect himself in the business. That's very clear."

Goth:

"Obviously, I'm not working at the Wal-Mart with a haircut like this and looking the way I look but I don't conform."

Platinum:

"He's used to having to sort of throw his weight around. He's a scary guy. He's a big, scary guy."

Goth:

"Same guy you see sitting in this chair is the same guy you're going to see riding his Harley down the highway heading to the gym for two hours pumping iron. Same guy that will beat your ass if you cross him. I am what I am. This isn't some gimmick. It isn't some show. It isn't some put on."

Platinum:

"He came highly recommended with this idea that I could deal with his foibles."

Goth:

"I do what I want to do. I live my life the way I want to live it and if you don't like it, well, that's just too damn bad."

Platinum:

"It was this close to me saying, 'No.' In fact, I literally said on the phone to him yesterday, 'I don't think this is going to work out. Nevermind.'"

Goth (in ring):

"Sports entertainment sucks! Real men still wrestle."

Goth:

"Let's make no mistake. I'm not a sports entertainer. I didn't win some damn contest on MTV. My father was a professional wrestler. Rugged Rod Price the California Studd used to be tag team partners with a guy by the name of Steve Austin you may have heard of. I was born to this business. I eat, live, sleep, breathe it."

Goth (at gym):

"Promoters know that, yeah, I'm stiff. Yeah, I'll lay it in. Yeah, if you try to do something stupid, you might not wake up. You try to roll up on me, I'll freakin' cripple you. That's happened a couple of times, you know. There are a couple of guys out there right now that ain't wrestling no more because they ain't walking too good right now.

If you're going to be anything that's real and be a real wrestler in this business then you might as well sign over your body 'cause it's gone. That's as much as my arm will straighten out. That's from wrestling. Boot lace prints on the side of my face like some kind of Star Trek character for about two weeks. Knocked a tooth out of my head. Knocked me unconscious, concussion, broke my jaw. And people get this misconception it's all glamor and lights and money and women and you know what? Yeah it's out there man, but that's that much of it, you know.

I have a 13 year old son who is my life. I wasn't there to see his first steps. I wasn't there to hear his first words and I wasn't there for some birthdays. And that tears me up inside, you know. When you get in this business, you better be ready to accept that.

I don't give a damn if I never get a major contract ever again. Until my body will not let me walk anymore I will be in a ring just like my dad."

Goth (in ring):

"See, I came from a time when this (does John Cena hand motion) meant nothing. But this (does 4 horsemen hand motion), this meant everything. Batista called. He wants his gimmick back, jack ass."

Platinum (in locker room):

"Don't invoke current stars of the game. Don't bring up Batista. This (Cena motion) is okay because we all hate that a--h---. But don't say anybody... I used to say don't invoke superior talent. Bringing up old school guys is wonderful and very PCW."

Goth (at gym):

"He's got a passion for it, man. And the guy has a phenomenal mind for the wrestling business. I mean phenomenal mind which I totally respect."

Platinum:

"We're always going to have conflict but I think through that conflict can come something spectacular."

Goth (ring side, post show):

"Here, you guys gotta be the greatest group of guys ever. You know what I mean? I came in and I know there were some weird f---ing reactions when you heard I was coming because I've got a helluva reputation. And half of it's true and half of it's...

Nemesis (wrestler, off camera):

"You got some f---ed up reputation."

Goth:

"Yeah, you're right, okay so I have a f---ed up reputation but you guys said you know what, f--- it, we'll give him a chance and ever since then it's been like a family man. I just want to tell you how much I appreciate you guys all welcoming me and the respect you show me and the respect I show you and how cool it is and how happy I and proud I am to be here, man."
