00:00 - I'll just start with you, Alexander, right away.
00:02 Obviously Ace walked out at the very end of last season,
00:05 walked out alone.
00:07 What does his journey look like in season two?
00:09 And maybe is he sort of on more of a solo,
00:11 internal journey in this season?
00:14 - Yeah, I mean, I think it's really about Ace coming
00:16 to terms with the man he can become.
00:19 You don't really understand why he's so erratic
00:22 and why he's the kind of guy he is.
00:24 But in the second season, you get a glimpse
00:27 into what they've actually had to deal with.
00:30 And I think in that, you sort of begin to understand Ace
00:33 and he begins to understand himself.
00:35 So yeah, Ace is kind of on his own solo journey.
00:37 And by the end of the season, I think you can see
00:40 the person that he's destined to become
00:43 and the promotion that this could really be
00:47 on a national level.
00:48 So yeah, Ace is off on his own on this one.
00:51 - Steven, obviously, the end of last season put,
00:56 I think Jack and Ace at their lowest point as brothers.
00:59 What steps is Jack going to take to try and repair
01:04 that relationship with his brother?
01:06 - I think that the most important thing
01:09 that Jack does this year,
01:11 this year, this season,
01:15 is not try to repair his relationship with Ace
01:19 or repair his relationship with Stacey or his mom or whatever.
01:25 It's, he does a real hard thing,
01:28 which is he takes a good long look in the fucking mirror
01:31 and decides, okay, the way that I've been going about things
01:36 is not working because we just had the most successful night
01:39 in the history of this promotion that I've made,
01:43 that I've prioritized more than anything else in my life.
01:46 And yet I come home to an empty house
01:48 and I have no one to share it with.
01:50 So whatever I'm doing is not working.
01:54 And so for him to have that moment of realization
01:57 and then to focus on repairing has been,
02:02 that was a really, really fun thing to play.
02:07 - Absolutely.
02:08 Do you think the relationship
02:10 between Jack and Ace can be the same?
02:12 - I think it can be, no, I think it can be better.
02:15 - Okay.
02:16 - No, I think it can be better.
02:17 I mean, look, these guys have,
02:19 for as bad as the fair was and for as,
02:22 for as explicitly as Jack broke Ace's trust,
02:27 those guys have so many shared experiences, good and bad.
02:33 Jack was, listen, Jack growing up,
02:36 Jack was Ace's protector, right?
02:39 And at a certain point you gotta stop doing that.
02:41 You gotta let a person live.
02:43 And it's just, it just took him a while to figure that out.
02:48 But I think it can get back, I think it can be better
02:53 'cause it can be based in honesty and mutual respect
02:57 and it wasn't before.
03:00 So it could be better.
03:02 - Okay.
03:03 And then Alexander, I wanted to touch on this
03:04 from last season, in the ring.
03:06 Do you think Ace could have killed Jack
03:10 had Crystal not stepped in?
03:12 - Accidentally.
03:14 - Yeah.
03:16 - For sure.
03:18 But, you know, Stephen and I talk about this a lot too.
03:20 There's a, it's a hate love relationship.
03:25 Like they hate each other, but underneath it all,
03:29 you know, in an instant, if either of their lives
03:33 were in danger, they would be there for each other.
03:36 I don't think Ace would ever purposely.
03:38 - Right.
03:39 - But like he was so blinded in that moment that,
03:42 you know, by accident, sure.
03:44 Like he was just, there was,
03:45 he was not pulling any punches.
03:48 And, you know, neither were we
03:49 when we were actually shooting.
03:51 It was brutal.
03:52 - Yeah.
03:55 - Well, I am very excited to watch this sibling,
03:58 brother relationship evolve over the course of the season.
04:02 The first season was so terrific
04:03 and ended in such a great way.
