XWF Inside The Ropes Interview: Kyle Morrison

We are sitting inside of a XWF ring in an empty arena, the cameraman is in one corner and sitting down in a chair in the other corner is Kyle Morrison, who is in a black MMA shirt and jeans

Kyle Morrison: "A lot of people may know me as the former MMA fighter and now XWF superstar, Kyle "The Machine" Morrison. Some may also know me as the older brother of fellow XWF superstar, Andrew Morrison. But there is a lot that you people do not know. Perhaps you think you know from hearing stories from my brother."

"But there are other stories, other moments..you think you may know me because of my past career or because of my family. But you will see over the next few days, that in reality, you have only seen one side of the coin, one piece of my life, and over the next few days, I will share some stories I honestly thought I would never share with the public eye.

"I know that some people may use it against me, but quite frankly, I don't give a fuck. You only live this life once and I will choose to speak what is on my mind and speak from the heart and if it bothers some people or people want to try and be my judge or jury, then well, let's just say, it won't be pretty. but now it is time I let the world truly get a glimpse of not just "The Machine", but the real Kyle Morrison."

Kyle takes a sip from a water bottle that was sitting next to his chair and begins to speak

Kyle Morrison: "I was born October 14th, 1986 to Samantha and Greg Morrison in Houston, Texas. I don't remember much about the early years, but my earliest memory I can remember was when I was about 3 years old and my mom pulled me aside one day and told me that I was going to be a big brother."

"It was mostly me, my mother, and my grandmother that I could remember for most of that time. My dad was usually either away for work, he was a trucker..of course, when he was home, he wasn't home that much, he'd be blowing half of his money to fill up the fridge with booze. Or he'd go and hide at a bar and get hammered..The other half..well, back then, I guess he still had somewhat of a heart, he did help as far as getting me or Mom what we needed, or getting stuff prepared for Andrew when he was home...."

"Andrew was born July 24th, 1990. I remember meeting my brother for the first time, and it is one of those moments where you know that you will have a bond for the rest of your life. I thought he was the coolest thing ever."

"Turns out not too long after was when my dad started getting into darker places. Starting coming home a little less, spending more of his money on him and less on the family, and when he was home, he would barely speak to me and he barely had a thing to do with Andrew. I don't think he even held Andrew at all except for at the hospital when he was born. I don't know what took him into that darker place, I still don't know. But it definitely affected all of us. Especially Andrew..."

"I look at Andrew now, and he has even spoke out about it a few times..he had it rough. And he may not show it the way that most people would, but I can see the damage it did to him. The damage it does to him. And my biggest regret is not fighting for him more. I tried my hardest to just either ignore it or if I had to let it out, I would go take it out on some guy in an alley, and even now, I think about how our dad would tell us we wouldnt amount to shit and it motivates me, it makes me want to prove him wrong. And I regret not helping Andrew more so much."

"So many times, I would go sit in my room and block it out, or I would go for a walk and get into a fight or whatever the case, and leave Andrew to fend for himself, and I see now what the past did to mold who Andrew is. And it scares me. It hurts. If there is anything in my life I regret, it is not being the big brother I should have been. In a way, I guess it is one reason I am here in the XWF now. To be a part of something with my brother. To be there if my brother needs me. To ride with my brother. To have the bond that we really didn't get to enjoy or have when we were younger."

we fade out to black for a commercial break

back from commercial break and Kyle Morrison begins to speak again

Kyle Morrison: "I talked about how the hell our dad would put us through played a part in molding me and my brother and we went about it our own ways..our mother also played a part in that and the hell my mother went through with that cancer...me and Andrew..it hit hard on us everyday.."

"I mentioned in promos and I mentioned here how I'd go and get into fights. I can remember one of the first fights I ever got into. I was about 9 or so. I had rode the bus to school that day. Andrew stayed home that day, I think he had a stomach bug or something like that. Dad was, as always, either off at his job, or spending money on booze. Mom was home with Andrew...she was going through her first of what ended up being quite a few battles with treatment and chemo and such and she was losing her hair, so she decided to basically just say fuck it and she had shaved her head. Once in a while, she'd wear a wig, but 99% the time, she just walked around shaved head and all."

"Well, one of the kids from our block, I believe his name was Chris, or something rather. He was a couple years older than me, and he went to my school. He was your classic bully. Picked on the shorter and smaller kids. Verbally mostly, he cussed a lot for his age, he was one of those types that he didnt care...and sometimes he'd shove em, bribe them out of their lunch and stuff, the prototype bully. I wouldn't say I was his favorite target, but I always had to deal with him every once in a while, and I'd usually just give in, because I figured it wasn't worth the crap, Im dealin with enough, its just money or a cookie or whatever."

"On this day, I was just hanging around the bench and he decided to start with me, as usual.."

Kyle does a low husky voice

"Hey, bitch!"

normal voice

"I'd ignore him.."

low voice

"BITCH!"

normal

"Again, I just ignore it."

low voice

"Hey, how's your ugly mom doing"

normal

"Oh I turned around and I looked at him and I think my words were: What did you say!?"

low voice

"You heard me, bitch, how's your ugly bald dumbass momma doing huh? When's she going back to the hospital? Shouldn't she be dead already?"

normal

"oh my god, I didn't know where it came from but I literally got right in front of him, and said "Don't you dare talk about my mom like that!"

husky voice

"What you going to do about it huh little bitch?" "Huh?"

normal

"He shoved me once, and I held my ground, he shoved me harder and I fell on my ass, and then some of the kids started coming around..you know how it is, oh man fight fight fight! and then I shot up and literally got nose to nose with him and told him "Say your sorry"

husky

"What you goin to do? go cry to your mom, that is if she's even still there when you get home!"

normal

"He shoved me away from him and then went to punch me, and I dont know where it came from, but I stepped over to the right and ducked and BAM! I gave him a left right in the face and he went down, and he was out!"

"Teachers ran over, hey hey hey nothing to see everybody get back. One of them went to scold me, was like, your going to be in big trouble, but then one of the other teachers and some of the kids who had kinda seen the whole thing told them how it went down and the dumbass teacher apologized and they went and took the jerk to the nurse and at this point Im crying and tellin them I didnt mean to hurt him, I was just so angry at him for saying those things about my mom..."

"It wasn't just bullies, I mean its just the whole experience..I mean with Dad hardly ever home, itd be me and/or sometimes Andrew and other family going to the doc with Mom for her appointments and her treatments and to see the struggle and what was happening to her first hand..and then her having to also put up with just the everyday life, and with two boys, and THEN add on her deadbeat husband who later on would hardly EVER be home at all and if he did, he'd either pass out or raise hell...to see the hell my Mom went through....

Kyle puts his head down and rubs his face with his hands and sighs and looks back up

"It's nothing I'd wish on anyone, not the bullies of the world, not even my worst enemy, you know, nobody should have to go through that hell..but my Mom never stopped fighting, her will to just say "Fuck my problems, fuck the shit life throws at me, I got two boys that need me, I got family that need me to be strong and I will fight and do what I can to be there for my children until I cant do it anymore..."

"We sent her home March 13, 2003. I was 16 and Andrew was 12..Dad basically after that disappeared almost completely. Me and Andrew would end up staying with our older cousin until we both eventually moved out."

"When I was 19..I had taken a year off for high school, the school district understood, with my mom gone and dad gone, I had to get my life in order, I graduated at 19 and went to SMU there in Dallas, Andrew would bounce between Dallas and Houston between our cousins until he managed to stay long enough to graduate and then he'd keep bouncing between the cousins, odd job to odd job and then he had enough to go to wrestling school, and yall know most the story from there."

"As for me, ya, I went to SMU and there was quite a few life-changing occurrences there...."
