Then WWE is scrambling to find us flights to get us into Montreal on time. They cant find two tickets on the same flight. So they route me through JFK and him through La Guardia.
I landed at like 2.30pm but Ivor got stuck in La Guardia and didn’t land until 4.30 almost 5pm. We’re supposed to be at TV by 2pm. I landed after call time, he landed three or four hours after it.
We’re stressed and I’m standing backstage when he texts saying he’s landed. I spoke to one of the production guys and he went ‘oh good, Vince [McMahon] was holding the writing meeting to know you were going to be here because you’re debuting.
He re-wrote the show in case we weren’t there.’ But once he knew they started writing it with us there.
Then we’re ringside, Ivar comes out, a graphic comes on the screen and there’s a cartoon Viking guy and it says Viking Experience.
At first it said Berzerkers, then we were War Raiders and then Viking Experience, we watched the screen change to this and we looked at Hunter [Triple H] and said ‘are they messing with us?’ He just shook his head and told us to ‘go see Vince’.
