But then after 172 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 7: the storyline had been done, I went back to raising 173 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 7: my girls, Eddie went back to traveling, and that was it. 174 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 7: You know, Eddie's like, no more of the family on 175 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 7: the stage. He goes this too much for me because 176 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 7: you know that's not what we But you know, my 177 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 7: girls they cry on cue. They can act pretty well, 178 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 7: which you've seen in their later years. So I think 179 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 7: Eddie was scared of what he was creating, so he 180 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 7: backed off right away. 181 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 6: Yeah. I can see that. 182 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 8: We've heard stories of you know, wrestlers having kids and 183 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 8: maybe like not really dissuading them from going to the ring, 184 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 8: but like, eh, you. 185 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,479 Speaker 6: Know, have you thought about college maybe. 186 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 8: Or you know, h yeah, it's a two headed beast 187 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 8: because they love it, but then they also know the 188 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 8: ups and downs and you know, you got to protect 189 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 8: your kids. So yeah, it's a slippery slow for sure. 190 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, you know. 191 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 7: And Dominic was the main character of the whole storyline. 192 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 7: He did fantastic. I would just hug him every night 193 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 7: that he came off stage because he was just so 194 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 7: incredibly talented, and you know, today proves that that's where 195 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 7: he belongs. You know, but it's just it's a scary 196 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 7: thing because you know, you don't want your kids to 197 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 7: go into the rest and you want them to go 198 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 7: to college, and you want to protect them because it's 199 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 7: a it's a really rough business. You know, it's a 200 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 7: lot of sacrifice, a lot away from home from your 201 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 7: family and friends.

Of course, there were some 346 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: issues with you doing that, and that involved your podcast 347 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: and some other rosters, which you've already talked about that, 348 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: so we don't have to go into this. 349 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 3: If anybody wanting to figure out what Vicky had to 350 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 3: say about that, you can just find it online. We're 351 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 3: not gonna do that. 352 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: But in July, you announced that you were the new 353 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: manager for Nyla Rose, and of course Nyla talked about 354 00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: how she was going to have a manager, and we're 355 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: I had to figure out and I was putting pieces 356 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: together and I remember in a group chat that we 357 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: were in, I was like, Okay, Vicky's there could she 358 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 1: be NILA's manager? Who could be Niyla's manager? That would 359 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: be perfect for And then of course Nyla was dropping 360 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: all the hints about cheating and this, and how she 361 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 1: had to get the time back and all this other stuff. 362 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: So how did the door open for you to become 363 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: involved with a w and then working with Nyla. 364 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 7: I think it started on the Jericho crews when I 365 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 7: got to interview all the females of AW on the ship, 366 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 7: and me and Nila just connected immediately. I mean we 367 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 7: just I fell in love with all the women there. 368 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,959 Speaker 7: I mean, there's such great talent and just neet women 369 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 7: to talk to. But you know Nyla being the big, 370 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 7: strong woman and the fiercest one, and you know, of 371 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 7: course as a gentleman, as a manager that's going to 372 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 7: always get her mouth gets her in trouble.

But 416 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 7: I think what's what's really fascinating is that Tony actually 417 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 7: picked up the phone and calls and he wants to 418 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 7: hear your ideas, and he you know, he stops you 419 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 7: in the halloway and he wants to talk to you. 420 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 5: And I just think that's so great because Tony con. 421 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 7: As you know, is just this great owner of many things, 422 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 7: you know, the Jaguars and a w and the soccer 423 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 7: team in London Fulham, and I just think, you know, 424 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 7: he doesn't have to be available to everyone, and he 425 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 7: doesn't have to really, you know, be in the hallway 426 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 7: and you know, and talk to and talk to the superstars, 427 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 7: and that just showed me that he really cares about 428 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 7: his product. And you know, just even how he takes 429 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 7: care of the superstars, you know, I mean. 430 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 5: We have a shuttle from the hotel to the. 431 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 7: Stadium, you know, I mean, and from the stadium we 432 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 7: come back to the hotel to shuttle his if you 433 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 7: don't have to drive. He wants to take care of that, 434 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,719 Speaker 7: you know, after a show, you know, Tony provides meals 435 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 7: for us after we come back, and no one has 436 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 7: to spend money on food. It's just those little things 437 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 7: that he shows respect to each and every person. And 438 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 7: I just think that's just an amazing character that he has. 439 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 7: And that's something that I'd rather work for someone that 440 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 7: cares about me and my family as a person, rather 441 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 7: than thinking of me as oh, he's only making so 442 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 7: much for me, So this is how, you know, this 443 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 7: is how I'll pay you know, my us to him. 444 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 7: Everyone's on the same level.
