Wrestling and a Movie: Justin Fleaux - V for Vendetta

·44 min·2 clips

Scott welcomes Flohawk. Justin Scott Flores joins the show, and the first thing everybody zeroes in on is how the Liberty Spikes stay standing long enough to get through a match. The hair talk gets real fast. He walks through the routine, from Got2b Spike and Glue to a black product called Ebon and a blow-dryer finish, and the hosts sound genuinely surprised it holds up under the lights. Then the wrestling history starts. Justin says he began training in 2017, which puts him close to a decade in the game, and the conversation settles into the reality of trying to keep moving forward in a business that makes you earn every step. He wants the belt back. The CWF talk turns into a redemption chase, with Orion taking the title, Justin getting pushed back to the bottom, and a long climb ahead through Warfare and the rest of the run. The Dark Hearts catch heat too. The hosts and Justin dig into how the group used to be the Enterprise before changing into the Dark Arts, how Marshall Briggs shot himself in the foot, and why Justin still thinks the whole mess could have been avoided if people had listened. There is also a bounty story. That side of the chat turns into one more wrestling gripe, complete with the stubborn, half-laughing frustration that makes the whole thing feel like a locker-room complaint session. Steve O comes up next. Justin explains that he grew up on Jackass and Wild Boys, saw Steve O at the Comedy Stardome in Hoover, Alabama, and found him to be genuinely kind after the show. The show keeps its loose rhythm. Scott and Dave let the tangents breathe, jump in with reactions, and keep circling back to what Justin is doing now instead of treating him like a nostalgia act. The booking talk stays local. By the end, the hosts are hyping CWF as a crowded, loud, three-hour hit in the Florida Panhandle, with enough bodies flying around to make the whole thing sound like a dependable night out. It stays scrappy. The whole segment lands like a friendly hang with a wrestler who still believes the climb is worth it.
