In the early TNA years besides Low-Ki Kid Kash was the most intense X Division Wrestler in my opinion. The way he'd do avalanche suplexes, and slams on opponents was crazy.
Kid Kash used to live in East Nashville TN.. I worked for the local water department that serviced his address and I met him while I was working on a meter across the street from his house.. Needless to say, he was the coolest most down-to-earth wrestler I had ever met.. He ended up giving me his phone number, and I used to go over to his house while I was working in the area and just talk Pro Wrestling all the time.. He never acted too good, too busy, or anything and in hindsight I am a Wrestling Nerd so I knew shit about his career that he wasn't probably expecting along with all of the other stuff I'd ask him about.. HE WAS SOOO COOL DUDE!! Kid Kash if you read this, I was a bigger dude that worked for Madison Utility at the time in 2013-15, right after you left TNA.. You lived on Ardee Ave. at the time, in Inglewood.. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for always being inviting too me and cool as hell too me!! I know I had to be annoying as shit, because I was a little fanboy but, you were so fun to talk too and pick your brain about Pro Wrestling!! I hope all is good with you my man!! You deserve anything good that goes your way dude, not only because I am a big fan, but because you were just cool as shit and humble as hell.. You could have told me to go KICK ROCKS, and NEVER DID!! I appreciate that more than you'll ever know dude.. Thanks!! Thank you too Chris for the interview!! Kid Kash is a REAL ONE!!
This is proof that our parents raised us right. When he would come home during the highest point of his wrestling career, I can remember him signing autographs for 30 mins to an hour and we were just going out to eat and have a drink. It didn't matter to him, the fans were the most important. Laid back guy that left this little town to live a dream!!! Proud of him is a understatement!!!!
This was not the interview I was expecting. One of my favourites of yours I've ever watched Chris, very inspiring. In the best possible way, he was the not the guy I thought he would be. I would be happy with a second interview somewhere down the line
Kid Kash was one of those guys that I loved back in the day. I thought he was going to be a star when I first saw him, and he probably would have been a big deal today, but he was ahead of his time. Guys his size just really didn't have a chance back then.
Such an awesome guy. He was friends with my dad’s half brother growing up and so when I was younger when he was in town and he was cruiserweight champ he let me come over and hold the belt and although I couldn’t really hold it on my own bc of how heavy it was and will forever be one of my favorite memories and all the stories I’ve heard about him and them growing up all sound like he was a goon to be around then so it’s good to know he’s doing well for himself. Thanks for another great interview Chris
I loved Kid Kash in TNA anytime he wrestled AJ it was always a classic an I would love to see him come in an do a surprise spot for a TNT championship match in AEW just like they were doing during the pandemic that be cool to see him vs Darby Allin 💯🔥
This is a Great podcast! I have a lot of respect for Cash wrestling and working construction at the same time. I grew up watching this guy. I have been watching old ECW Hardcore TV's from 2000. The Kid Cash gimmick and wrestling style always captivated me.
Im Stoked and i havnt pressed play yet ! He was doing a style 20 some years ago that most cant do right now ! LOL ! I love this guy, cant wait to get into this ! Thanks
I'm currently doing a story mode in SVR2007 with Kid Kash. And eve. When I was a kid when SVR2007 came out, I always teamed Kash up with Gregory Helms and made them Tag Team Champions. I always thought they would've been a good tag team, probably better than Kash and Noble.
so he made a great point... that its over saturated...example when ecw was just one hour... maybe kid kash wasnt on one week or for two weeks but when he was were you like oo like kid kash.. i missed him and you were invested
I've kept up with wrestling since 2003, and went back and watched so many matches and wrestlers from before I started watching, and for some reason, Kid Kash passed me by, even though I know I've seen him around. It's weird too, cause I know he was talented in the ring. I should check out more of his stuff. Anyway, this was a good chat as always, CVV. Kash seems like a chill guy. I will say, though, the one thing that slightly irked me was his outlook on the amount of women's wrestling in WWE. I personally have been loving the amount of time and matches that division has been getting across Raw, Smackdown, and NXT. I want AEW to improve in that same way with their women's division. Hell, that Hayter/Shida match is the kinda match I feel like Kash would like, and I'm not the only one interested in women's wrestling improving, considering the viewer numbers WoW is pulling at the moment. Doing better numbers than Impact at the moment (I love Impact, that's not a dig. Matter of fact, they've almost always had a good Knockouts division) and I think that's great. Hope all companies can keep growing in that sense.
I get what he says about Football. But what bothers me are the commercial breaks. But as he said that there are so many time out or where the game stops, which is when they show the commercials, that I can't watch it and that's why I was never into it. Basketball is more my thing and als wrestling. And I also did some backyardwrestling as a kid. But dude, Piledrivers? I mean even if you don't know that is "fake", you must get a clue that they don't do it as it it looks! 😆
Whoah ! Hey ! Was he the same Tyler Morton i saw in random territories in the 80s ???? Dressed like Ricky Morton ???? If so , i seen him live as a kid and didnt know it !
I agree with Kash here. The three hour format was not a big deal back then. I disagree with the reason though. No amount of wrestling is too much, as long as you have the talent and the booking to fill that time. In the 90s, WWE was packed with talent. Pretty much everyone on the roster was over to some degree, and all of them were being used in meaningful ways. They all had unique gimmicks, and wrestling styles varied from guy to guy. Today, there aren't many true stars in the business, and there are very few guys that truly stand out in any way. I catch a lot of flack for it, but I agree with Kash on women's wrestling. Women's wrestling was virtually non existent for several decades. It is beginning to recover, but there are not currently enough tv ready female wrestlers for every company to have a women's division and fill half their shows with women's wrestling. You just end up with a lot of bad wrestling that bores everyone to death. I think promotions are trying to put women's wrestling as a whole in a position that it is not yet ready to be in.
Kaah said he was too short to play basketball ?? Muggsy Bogues is 5'3" and played 14 years in the NBA. I'm the same height as Kash and I played basketball. But I'm glad he went a different route. Height doesn't matter unless you are dating a snobby lady who only cares about height 🤣🤣🤣
It looks like Kid Kash is wearing the prosthetics the Jackass guys wore in their movies lol..like he could claim to be Kid Kash's Republican father who tells his friends how "Kid's doing good - a lot better than I admittedly worried about but I'm proud of him - I guess I just..I still don't get it" lol
@@supersaturn956 not with that heavy southern accent he doesn’t . But yes I agree Billy didn’t have the mic skills so he had to rely on this wrestling skills to compensate
Kid Kash will always be one of the more underrated performers from ECW for me. Really enjoyed seeing his insane dives.
His height would never allow him to be big in WWE in my opportunity.
Kid Kash will forever be in my top 5 wrestlers. So so so underrated!
Living freaking legend. ECW & TNA Alumni. Respect.
No. Not even close
@Mesaage nicegram@ChrisVanVliets god dangit stop spoofing youtubers accounts and doing this go away ....
@@smeagolallthewaynot even close to what???
@@protector22222?
@marcbasil hes no where close to living legend.... he was always trash a certified jobber. Brooklyn brawler has more of a legend that bitch ass cash
So cool to see he prepared himself for life after wrestling.
👏👏
Isn’t this the same scam another UA-camr called out on their page
Kash had some swagger for such a small guy. It was pretty awesome
The Notorious KID
Finally we get to see and hear Kid kash. It's awesome.
Duuuude, I'm a Tricities TN native like Kid Kash!! You was always one of my favorites in ECW!!
In the early TNA years besides Low-Ki Kid Kash was the most intense X Division Wrestler in my opinion. The way he'd do avalanche suplexes, and slams on opponents was crazy.
Kid Kash was a badass. Legend status.
This was an awesome interview such a down to earth guy
Love kid kash... super underrated
So underrated, he was excellent

@Chris Van Vliet is this a scam?? lol
Kash was one of my favorites to watch in the later days of ECW. The risk taking, the Kid Rock look. Great interview!
This was not the interview I was expecting. One of my favourites of yours I've ever watched Chris, very inspiring. In the best possible way, he was the not the guy I thought he would be. I would be happy with a second interview somewhere down the line
Kid Cash, what a great guy, interacted with him several times after the TNA matches in Orlando. He always had time for his fans.
The first guy I use when playing Smackdown vs Raw 2007
I went back and watched one of KK's matches. Excellent worker with lots of wrestling MOVES! This guy is a relic!
I wrestled a match in WWE against Kash and Noble back in May of 2006 ... learned a TON from him just in that ONE match. Such a great guy
Kid Kash was one of those guys that I loved back in the day. I thought he was going to be a star when I first saw him, and he probably would have been a big deal today, but he was ahead of his time. Guys his size just really didn't have a chance back then.
Watching him crowd surf to the ring to face Rhyno for a title match has to be one of my favorite bits of ECW nostalgia.
Such an awesome guy. He was friends with my dad’s half brother growing up and so when I was younger when he was in town and he was cruiserweight champ he let me come over and hold the belt and although I couldn’t really hold it on my own bc of how heavy it was and will forever be one of my favorite memories and all the stories I’ve heard about him and them growing up all sound like he was a goon to be around then so it’s good to know he’s doing well for himself.

This is amazing! I always have been a big fan of kid kash! Truly an amazing wrestler!
i always enjoyed kid kash and chris hamrick from ec dub! thanks for interviewing him
This is a Great podcast! I have a lot of respect for Cash wrestling and working construction at the same time. I grew up watching this guy. I have been watching old ECW Hardcore TV's from 2000. The Kid Cash gimmick and wrestling style always captivated me.
He was WHC on my Smackdown bs Raw for a good while! Great interview!!
Man kid Kash was a bad ass in ECW
Kash's Hurricanrana in mid air of the top rope is one of the craziest moves I've seen. He was a huge influence on guys wrestling on more modern times.
Great video great view sounds. Great interview. Happy New year. 2023
Happy new year!
I just finished playing as him in SVR 07 season mode, I even made a gameplay titantron with his ecw theme, what a trip down memory lane🌤
Im Stoked and i havnt pressed play yet ! He was doing a style 20 some years ago that most cant do right now ! LOL ! I love this guy, cant wait to get into this ! Thanks
Great wrestling style - always awsome to see him working!
@Mesaage nicegram@ChrisVanVliets Scam!
Great video💯 loved RVD vs Kid Kash
EZ Money and Eddie Golden are still doing the thing around here
Loved this video. Usually don't like videos/interviews like this but your channel does it very well. Excellent job.
Kid Kash and Jerry Lynn when you know you know
🙌
I knew this interview was coming because of Rene Dupree. Paul London next? By the way, Happy New Year CVV!
Happy new year Shred!
I always thought the guy that plays Hawkeye looks like Kid Kash lol
kid Kash was an x division legend In the early days of tna
Kid Kash held so much gold in my WWE games he was the man to beat lmao
Man, Kid Kash has become Father Investment!
this was great love this man work in all stages of life was great
I love you Kid Kash!
I'm currently doing a story mode in SVR2007 with Kid Kash. And eve. When I was a kid when SVR2007 came out, I always teamed Kash up with Gregory Helms and made them Tag Team Champions. I always thought they would've been a good tag team, probably better than Kash and Noble.
Kid Kash later became Daniel Craig, where he was a success as James Bond.
I’ve never heard of him so I did a search. Would’ve never guessed that’s what he looked like back in the day.
Keep up the good work also interview ICP
Never knew he did the Crow gimmick before Sting
Much respect
so he made a great point... that its over saturated...example when ecw was just one hour... maybe kid kash wasnt on one week or for two weeks but when he was were you like oo like kid kash.. i missed him and you were invested
Great video
I really enjoyed and am inspired by this.
Kid Kash! He was such a standout from the last year of ECW. The guy was doing just insane shit and flawlessly. Nice to see he's doing well.
I always wanted to see Kid Kash vs Billy Kidman

Should have had a longer run with the ECW TV Title
Agreed!
I love this man 🤣🤣
Kash! The Notorious K - I - D
Chris you’re awesome
No no, YOU'RE awesome!
Moneymaker is my finish on wwe 2k24 for my caw.
Watching victory road 2004 dvd in came to comment
Kash accidently snitched on Batista and Booker T 😅
I was the same watched wrestling religiously but once I got into the business my love for it faded and didn't watch it that much just wrestled
I went to school with kid cash’s son Tyler. He was a cool kid and a damn good wrestler in school
Cool
Boy from NYC was by a acapella group called Manhattan Transfer
I get what he says about Football. But what bothers me are the commercial breaks.

Kid kash is money- joey styles
Nice... you need to interview.. liv morgan...
Hell naw he should do haku
1 hour was too short
We’ll have to do a part 2!
Kash was born after 4 days from Triple H birthday!
Reminds me of Alex Jones now. Maybe he could call himself Infowars Cash
Does he like Walkers crisps?
Damn, he has long legs. I'm 6ft,3in tall and I have 32 in legs.
Not only did he look like Kid Rock, he kinda shares some of the same facial features as Owen Hart but that's just me 🤔
Lol. Kid Kash started to look a bit like Marty Jannetty.
Kaah said he was too short to play basketball ?? Muggsy Bogues is 5'3" and played 14 years in the NBA. I'm the same height as Kash and I played basketball. But I'm glad he went a different route. Height doesn't matter unless you are dating a snobby lady who only cares about height 🤣🤣🤣
What …?

He's been lying so much for the first 15 minutes.
Hahah there are no belts in Muaythai so he’s lying there
Kid Kash a wannabe billy Kidman
He has more charisma than Billy.
@@supersaturn956 not with that heavy southern accent he doesn’t . But yes I agree Billy didn’t have the mic skills so he had to rely on this wrestling skills to compensate
Yes when Kid Kash was breaking in, back in 1989, his dream was to emulate 15 year old Billy Kidman.
@@supersaturn956the southern accent is horribIe.
@@RVDv1 you see it too as well
Neverwas
