I had the honor watching him and Adam Cole at Takeover NY. Man, he walked in with boos but he turned that crowd around after winning the NXT Championship. He is a genuine dude and truly want him to succeed on the main roster.
NXT Black and Gold and Johnny Wrestling were one of my favorites during that era. It got me back into wrestling and I smile thinking and watching matches from that time. I was screaming and so hype when Johnny won the NXT Championship. Take me back.
I love how this was a genuine conversation between 2 buddies talking about being fathers and diets. You and Johnny seem like really great people and listening to you talking is heartwarming.
6 years later, my favorite wrestling match of all time is Andrade “Cien” Almas vs. Johnny Gargano at Takeover Philadelphia. I had never seen either of those two and the story telling from the opening package to the final bell blew me away. I don’t feel like I missed anything. Nothing has topped it yet and I’ve watched a LOT of wrestling since 1997.
Chris, lemme tell you right now, you're killing it. Such great work you're doing. Nobody really doing it like you. Big up to you, keep up the great work❤🔥
No doubt one of if not THE most underappreciated wrestlers ever. So much quality and a genuinely good guy. So hard not to root for but still underutilized. Deserves so much more than he's had while on the main roster.
CCV is cooking lately. from Riddle to Torrie Wilson to Lance,Chelsea Green, Damien Sandow and Gargano in a time span of 2 weeks. You are the best man! thanks for that amount of content
I nearly cried during Johnny Gargano‘s last night on NXT! It truly signified that the black and gold era was over! Johnny was the heart and soul of that brand! And also, my favorite wrestler! I will never forget meeting him at the gym I worked at back in 2017. He was such a cool man to just hang out with for just even five minutes! He treated me like I was his friend and we were talking about wrestler theme songs.
Chris is the best person when it comes to interviews he comes off so personable it's not like he's asking questions it's like he's a friend talking to a friend
Really enjoyed watching this, what a great guy. And I am so happy to hear that his match with Adam Cole is in his top 3. I really hope Johnny gets his spotlight eventually :)
My first wrestling show was takeover new orleans what a first show to experience. The crowd, the matches, and of course, Tommaso's iconic Entrance and Johhy Wrestling getting his job back good times🎉
I just saw DIY in Rochester NY November 4th at a house show. It was same night that WWE did Crown Jewel PPV. It was a nice card. Had most of the roster that didn’t go to Crown Jewel. Johnnie is lightning in the ring.
I’ve been watching wrestling for 40 years without a break and in my little opinion Gargano Vs Ciampa is my favourite feud ever and there first 2 matches are in my top 5 matches easily.
*Correction: HBK has TWO 5 star matches: Ladder Match at WM 10 AND the first HIAC Match ever in 1997 against The Undertaker. And, of course, we know his WM matches vs. Taker and Angle were 5 stars, even though Dave gave them 4.75 stars.
Absolutely amazing how you’re banging out new interviews everyday you just got done interviewing Damian Sandow a couple of days ago and now Johnny wrestling this is gonna be awesome 😎
For me, even if Gargano didn’t come back, I thought he had the career that so many fans would’ve wanted to have. The momentum NXT Gold had when him Ciampa were feuding was insane. Look at the arenas for those Takeovers. The cherry on top is that he got to work with his idol and it turned into a beautiful friendship.
great interview as always, I'd love to see you do an interview with bobby roode in the future. Roode is one of my favorites and there really aren't many interviews he has done.
During the CWC I fell in love with DIY and was downtrodden because it seemed there'd be no way they'd get on the main shows let alone have some real momentum on them. What a great and crazy several months it's been in WWE for DIY and tons of other NXT alums.
Gargano has always giving me such a nice vibe. I really want to see him as a world champion one day. He gives me the same energy as Rey Mysterio. And Rey is my favorite wrestler of all time.
Johnny has such great energy. Awesome interview Chris. Well done and you're on a roll. Any chance of maybe Alan Angels from TNA or John Silver from AEW? Keep up the great work.
Easily, gargano is a top 5 wrestler for me. I remember it was 2018, and my love for wrestling was dying. I was bored with the main roster, and on that day, takeover Philadelphia was on that day. I had never watched a single thing from NXT, and it was Gargano vs. Andrade, and i easily that match reinvigorated my love for wrestling was back to where it was before.
William regal is one of my all time favorites since he did that thing on w.w.e confidential were he showed a bit of his home and his pett iguanas and other lizards and the goldburge w.c.w beat down it showed how not up to Parr goldburge really was at the same time showed how much the man regal really is
I just hope they give him something good. Recreate the DIY story. He needs to work on his character sure but he has so much potential and I really want him to be successful in the main roster.
If WWE ever decides to be unpredictable again with the Rumble, Gargano should 100% be the surprise winner. He's the total package and he'll make a rumble-to-mania storyline work.
Hey Chris, been subscribed for awhile. Love your interviews. Love all your videos. I was just wondering, if you were a professional wrestler what would be your ring attire?
The Wrestling Mind to give Shawn the gift right before going through the curtain . Genuinely phenomenal Mind of wrestling . I hope he becomes a big back stage presence and influence like Shawn in 10 years when he’s done with the ring .
The perfect David to Gunthers Goliath, make it happen Trips 🙌 next year's wrestlemania... what a build that could be too with tag champs as DIY then the champa fall out... because it has to play out again on the main roster 🤞 loved Johnny in NXT... more to come on the main roster I'm sure 💪
Say whatever about Sega, but they sure is an ambitious company. This game was soo unique. Wish people would stop hating on it soo much. Also, it was really cool that this got released with Sonic Rush Adventure on the same day.
I love that he's an HBK mark. I think HBK has two 5 star matches, by the way, Chris. The ladder match with Razor, and I believe the Iron Man. Maybe the one with Flair. Pretty positive he has two. Anyway, great interview. Gargano talks a mile a minute!
My fantasy team this season I hade 12 starting QBs in 18 weeks. The longest one was Joe Flacoo for 4 weeks and Deshan Watson for 2. ALL THE OTHERS WERE 1 WEEK
The Johnny Gargano vs Tomasso Chiampa feud/story is one of the greatest ever.
Being there in New Orleans was a fever dream
Absolutely. Those Black&Gold NXT days had some amazing feuds and characters.
The greatest
fr, I just wish Ciampa hadn't got injured and the storyline got a proper final
It's what got me back into wrestling.
I just got done with the Sandow interview, and now you drop this banger? Nonstop content from CVV.
That’s what we do!
@@ChrisVanVlietI mean.....#DIY, right?
I had the honor watching him and Adam Cole at Takeover NY. Man, he walked in with boos but he turned that crowd around after winning the NXT Championship. He is a genuine dude and truly want him to succeed on the main roster.
I love Johnny Gargano❤
Same
I started watching wrestling again a year ago after a 12 year hiatus....Johnny Gargano undoubtedly has become one of my favorites
2 of my closest friends don’t have their fathers anymore so being grateful that your parents are still around hits home ❤️
NXT Black and Gold and Johnny Wrestling were one of my favorites during that era. It got me back into wrestling and I smile thinking and watching matches from that time. I was screaming and so hype when Johnny won the NXT Championship. Take me back.
I would love to just sit with these guys and nerd out. Talk wrestling and life.. great interview Chris!

🙏😁
Thank you for doing this. Gargano is my favorite wrestler over the last 10 years. His matches helped me get excited through a dark time in my life.
Johnny is an amazing wrestler. I hope he will have as much success in the main roster as he did in NXT. I have faith in Triple H.
Hopefully they win the tag titles at Mania.
This interview is a amazing testimony. Ive been to soo many NXT Takeovers and Johnny Wresting was my guy. I remember Johnny Football😊
No doubt one of if not THE most underappreciated wrestlers ever. So much quality and a genuinely good guy. So hard not to root for but still underutilized. Deserves so much more than he's had while on the main roster.

he's the best in the business and it's not close

Johnny doesn’t know how good he is. He truly helped wrestling stay alive & put on some of the greatest matches
Johnny Gargano He’s coming NxT Legend himself Tomasso Ciampa … DIY On the Rise !!!! 🫡🙌🏾🔥🦾
@erikrousu Johnny made a funny shirt for DIX after Truth called them D-Generation X lol
The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels... It was a really cool of you and Triple H to save R Truth from Judgement Day! 2 words for ya! "Thank you!"
Love Johnny Gargano, I think a face DIY winning the Tag Titles, than a good 3-6 month run will be amazing.
Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae are literally two of the best WWE has hopefully they both have great success in the future
@15:00 best quote ever. "It's hard because cookies are delicious" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I met Johnny gargano in December and that was the best moment of my wrestling fan life
Chris is the best person when it comes to interviews he comes off so personable it's not like he's asking questions it's like he's a friend talking to a friend
By far the most underrated Wrestler of this generation! Already More 5 stars Matches then your favorite hall of famer!
Really enjoyed watching this, what a great guy.
And I am so happy to hear that his match with Adam Cole is in his top 3.
I really hope Johnny gets his spotlight eventually :)
Been a Browns fanatic lately and absolutely loved hearing Johnny talking about Flacco haha
My first wrestling show was takeover new orleans what a first show to experience. The crowd, the matches, and of course, Tommaso's iconic Entrance and Johhy Wrestling getting his job back good times🎉
Another good interview CVV! Cheers!
Well it's no surprise Shawn Michaels made Joey Gargano cry, he is the Heart Break Kid you know💔
This is true, but at the same time he’s just a sexy boy (sexy boyyyy)
@@ChrisVanVlietNice Lol 🫡🔥💔🐐☝🏾💯

Aww man, dude Johhny is so relateable when he said his self esteem is horrible😢😢 lmao, naw you're awesome bro!!!

Absolutely amazing how you’re banging out new interviews everyday you just got done interviewing Damian Sandow a couple of days ago and now Johnny wrestling this is gonna be awesome 😎
Tomasso has some of the gnarliest fights I’ve seen. His and Adam Cole go nuts. Most NXT talent have crazy fights and it’s fun versus just show of WWE
CVV is blessing us with bangers
For me, even if Gargano didn’t come back, I thought he had the career that so many fans would’ve wanted to have. The momentum NXT Gold had when him Ciampa were feuding was insane. Look at the arenas for those Takeovers. The cherry on top is that he got to work with his idol and it turned into a beautiful friendship.
Always loved Johnny ever since I started watching NXT, so humble whenever he talks!
We need an interview with Pete Dunne please and Thankyou ❤️
great interview as always, I'd love to see you do an interview with bobby roode in the future. Roode is one of my favorites and there really aren't many interviews he has done.

Yes Johnny !!!!
What a great man, has got the most wonderful woman Candice lerae. Two great wrestlers
Johnny gargano best wrestler in the world ever
Gargano has always giving me such a nice vibe. I really want to see him as a world champion one day. He gives me the same energy as Rey Mysterio. And Rey is my favorite wrestler of all time.
Johnny has such great energy. Awesome interview Chris. Well done and you're on a roll. Any chance of maybe Alan Angels from TNA or John Silver from AEW? Keep up the great work.
Love and support from Italy Chris🇮🇹❤️
Hope I can see Johnny Wrestling vs The Phenomenal at WrestleMania one day
Easily, gargano is a top 5 wrestler for me. I remember it was 2018, and my love for wrestling was dying. I was bored with the main roster, and on that day, takeover Philadelphia was on that day. I had never watched a single thing from NXT, and it was Gargano vs. Andrade, and i easily that match reinvigorated my love for wrestling was back to where it was before.
I've always thought that NXT should be viewed as a third brand. Thank you, Johnny, for equally thinking the same thing!
Those Tag Belts need to be split. DIY and Dunne/Bate should be tag champs on their respective brands
Still can't believe I once saw this guy in a dark match on an indie pay per view. He's amazing.
He's a vanilla midget. Absolutely dull
Underrated!!! My boy!!!
Just starting and can't wait i know there's gonna be some AIW talk!
Great interview Chris!! 😎👍🔥
Born in Ohio. Cincy fan. Johnny being happy for the Browns with Flacco makes me happy in a sad way.
Didn't think I'd watch/listen to this shoot, but you guys talking about northern Ohio is so cool.
Johnny and Vic are me during San Francisco 49ers games 😂
William regal is one of my all time favorites since he did that thing on w.w.e confidential were he showed a bit of his home and his pett iguanas and other lizards and the goldburge w.c.w beat down it showed how not up to Parr goldburge really was at the same time showed how much the man regal really is
Johnny and ciampa deserve a big push, they are amazing talents. If WWE doesn't, someone else will
Johnny is still hands down my favorite wrestler that ever came from nxt he needs the ic title
Johnny Gargano is one of my all-time favorites due to NXT.
Love ya big guy!
I just hope they give him something good. Recreate the DIY story. He needs to work on his character sure but he has so much potential and I really want him to be successful in the main roster.
When Johnny Manziel beat Alabama at Texas A&M I became a fan of his
If WWE ever decides to be unpredictable again with the Rumble, Gargano should 100% be the surprise winner. He's the total package and he'll make a rumble-to-mania storyline work.
Hey Chris, been subscribed for awhile. Love your interviews. Love all your videos. I was just wondering, if you were a professional wrestler what would be your ring attire?
Gunter vs Gargano for the Intercontinental championship at wrestlemania would bang!
Ohh that would slap.
The Wrestling Mind to give Shawn the gift right before going through the curtain . Genuinely phenomenal Mind of wrestling . I hope he becomes a big back stage presence and influence like Shawn in 10 years when he’s done with the ring .
Johnny Interview.
The perfect David to Gunthers Goliath, make it happen Trips 🙌 next year's wrestlemania... what a build that could be too with tag champs as DIY then the champa fall out... because it has to play out again on the main roster 🤞 loved Johnny in NXT... more to come on the main roster I'm sure 💪
You need to get Theodore long on this lol and have him say his famous quote. “You’ll go one on one with the undertakka”
Hey, it's Shawn Michaels from DX, but he sounds like Disco Inferno from The NWO Wolfpac.
When he left he came home to see us at AIW
31:02 I remember seeing that and losing it.
Say whatever about Sega, but they sure is an ambitious company. This game was soo unique. Wish people would stop hating on it soo much. Also, it was really cool that this got released with Sonic Rush Adventure on the same day.

the rebel heart!

Did u feel better afterward 😂😂 48:57
gargano is a good hand , i can see him thriving in TNA
Who are they talking about during the physical transformation talk?
AJ Sims, their Fitness Coach. He's on CVV's "Best shape of my life" video.
CVV fans are eatin this week
All hail the up up down down champion
I loved Johnny Manziel
NXT is a third brand that also happens to be developmental. In reality all shows are developmental because wrestlers never stop developing.
hi cvv! does aj the trainer have a yt channel? would love to check his workouts if he does..😅
The best place to find him is on Instagram. He’s @cementfactory
@@ChrisVanVliet thanks for the info! 😀
Wacco for flacco 😂😂😂
NXT is my favorite wrestling show
One of my favorites. NXT is so much better than wwe in matches, most of the time, in my opinion
That Andrade match needs a sequel
Can happen on Raw
Hope that he'd be booked better. I felt that he peaked in NXT. If nothing works, go back to NXT. Just like Dolph, Baron, and other vets did.
Apollo Crews
He's still getting started in the main roster with Ciampa. Just wait they will get to the top
Shame he is not over enough on main roster. I was never so invested in wrestling until Gargano vs Ciampa feud
Tommaso was never FIREDDD!! #TOMMASOSBETTERRR!!
Here we are as dads now 😂
we gotta bring back off the record
I loved that show!
i didn't know you were both cleveland people, represent baby
Wish you would have asked him about rebel heart being gone
Isn’t that Joey Gray?
