12 Things We Learned From Justin Gabriel On Talk Is Jericho

8. The Darewolf

Black talks about his ideas for his "Darewolf" character, saying the genesis was Twitter users calling him "The Capetown Werewolf", which he assumes had something to do with Twilight being popular at the time. He combined that with daredevil and created the name. He says that Hunter told him "Just because you thought of it doesn't make it great", but adds that Vince loved it and they trademarked the name. He took that as his green light and started filming all his own vignettes, doing extreme activities such as surfing, dirtbike stunts, skydiving, base-jumping and even juggling fire. In a story both funny and sad, he sat down with Vince in his office to show him everything he had recorded, and when the clips finished playing McMahon simply responded with "I didn't know you could juggle." "Cool, that's what you got from that? But you got to love the guy, crazy genius."
