The last thing IвЂ™ll say is we originally tried the country music, but I was like, okay, this doesnвЂ™t fit at all because this is lit like a club. вЂњMikey Rukus, heвЂ™s an unsung hero because he said, вЂHow much time do I got?вЂ™ I said, вЂYou get 24 hours, find some rappers and do it.вЂ™ So he really did, and it came through in the clutch for that for us. He got some rappers from Atlanta that came in. So then I asked Mikey Ruckus, вЂCan you make X GonвЂ™ Give It to Ya but just not where weвЂ™re gonna get sued.вЂ™ He came back with one, and Mega said, вЂYou gotta change the horns or whatever.вЂ™ And he came up with one that was pretty close. A lot of his ideas are the same as yours, and we just couldnвЂ™t find anything. My hip hop knowledge is limited, so I was asking you guys. God bless her, she was working hard, trying. It needs to be dirtier and vibe, and then she came up with a couple others. вЂњI listened to it, and I go, this thing is way too happy. вЂњWeвЂ™re looking to try and find anybody with a certain vibe to it, and once DMX was out, I was like, what are we gonna do? We were offered Kurtis Blow вЂThe BreaksвЂ™,вЂќ Jericho recalled. Jericho also revealed the other back-up options that were looked at. The next time you ever want to use anything, you have my sign off any time.'вЂќ And then Monday he responds, вЂIвЂ™m so pissed that I missed this message. ItвЂ™s funny because I messaged Westside Gunn the day before when we were trying to figure things out, and he didnвЂ™t see the message until Monday. вЂњThen I reached out to my other friend Smoke DZA, so I was just trying to reach out to all the guys that I knew that are popular, and have a really big following and enjoy wrestling. вЂњI was trying to reach out to some of my friends that are part of Griselda Records, which is this popular hip hop group now with Westside Gunn, and Benny the Butcher and Conway the Machine,вЂќ Santana said. Santana then discussed the other back-up options they looked for once DMX became unavailable. So that I have to break the news like, oh man, we donвЂ™t have DMX.вЂќ He tells me, вЂSo I heard that we donвЂ™t have DMX.вЂ™ IвЂ™m like вЂWhat are you talking about?вЂ™ So then this domino effect goes to where we were originally given permission, but the family has to sign off on it, and they didnвЂ™t sign off. вЂњSo then a couple days before, poor Darrell, one of our production managers, heвЂ™s on the field with us during the Stampede, you got the guys in the truck, and you got us and heвЂ™s the middleman. They came back and said yes, for вЂX GonвЂ™ Give It to YaвЂ™, and it was for not Van Halen money and not Frank Sinatra money, which is 15 grand but somewhere lower than that where it was affordable. ThatвЂ™s kind of one of her forteвЂ™s for the NFL to get licensing for songs. So DMX was the idea, and I thought, well, thereвЂ™s no way, so I asked Mega, whoвЂ™s, as Konnan would call, the AEW legal girl. Sony, who owns our publishing, has to approve. Even like for вЂJudasвЂ™, when I want to use вЂJudasвЂ™, I canвЂ™t just use it. вЂњHe didnвЂ™t write the song, but itвЂ™s the publishers who own it. Frank Sinatra was a lot cheaper, but it was really hard to get, вЂMe and My ShadowвЂ™. They came back and said for one time use is $500,000, which is basically a nice way of saying go f**k your ass. вЂњSo to kind of talk about the music for a bit, first of all, we tried to get Van Halen вЂRunning with the DevilвЂ™ when Max and I teamed that one time. вЂњThe dichotomy of that was so great, and the original idea was, Max mentioned we should try and get DMX,вЂќ Jericho revealed. He also revealed other licensed music he tried to get in the past and how much it would cost him. And I think it came across like so.вЂќД¬hris Jericho then revealed the licensed music they wanted to get for that scene. So that was our idea where it shows a contrast between us because FTR and us are very much alike in a sense, but weвЂ™re from different worlds, and we wanted to kind of portray that in the scene. ThereвЂ™s a shift change with Konnan changing the music and then hip hop is playing. Bam, here we come busting through the doors. Originally, we wanted a country song playing in the background so itвЂ™s kind of FTRвЂ™s scene. вЂњWith the music, we wanted to kind of set up the world. We had many different ideas going into it,вЂќ Ortiz stated. Ortiz talked about his and SantanaвЂ™s scene with FTR and what they were going for in their vision. The Inner Circle came together on todayвЂ™s episode of Talk Is Jericho where they discussed the behind the scenes details of Stadium Stampede 2.
