Speaker 5: both nights. Try to sum up this past weekend in

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 5: Saint Louis. We watched it on TV and we got emotional,

32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 5: Like I have goosebumps right now thinking about it. Like,

33
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 5: I mean, you coming out with that promo at the

34
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 5: beginning taking us to church, tell me about this whole weekend.

35
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 6: I was overcome with emotions.

36
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: You know.

37
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 7: It was when we finally There's been so much that

38
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 7: has led to getting to Saint Louis, to getting back

39
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 7: to the Chase, and it's a lot. It's a lot

40
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 7: that you don't realize and that I didn't even realize

41
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 7: sitting on in my wrestler's boots. I didn't even realize

42
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 7: the amount of work that goes in behind the scenes.

43
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 7: So I have a whole newfound respect for a lot

44
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 7: of the men and the women who quietly work behind

45
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 7: the scenes to bring on and make events like this

46
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 7: happen for us all. But then, you know, the energy

47
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 7: when we got there, it was just every woman on

48
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 7: that show came to go to work and came to

49
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 7: prove a point, and they did, every single female like,

50
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 7: they delivered. They over delivered. They shocked the world. There

51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 7: wasn't a match. Every single match built and built and built,

52
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 7: and there wasn't a match where at one time when

53
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 7: I was like, oh, you know everything top to bottom,

54
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 7: they killed it and they absolutely killed it.

55
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 6: And if I was to take my hat.

56
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 7: Off for any particular women, and specifically, I would say

57
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 7: I could not have done this event without Jazz, without Medusain,

58
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 7: without Gail Kim, because in the midst of me running

59
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 7: from the truck to the monitors to Gorilla to like

60
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 7: out in the crowd to hear the people, because I

61
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 7: had to go out in the crowd and by the

62
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 7: way in heels, you know, I'm gonna It's not a

63
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 7: quick run. Yeah, it's more of a tip tap run,

64
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 7: but I'll get there quick. Because I wanted to be

65
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 7: out there for specific moments, one moment in particular, the

66
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 7: awesome Kong and Gail Kim moment. I wanted to be

67
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 7: out in the crowd and hear that. Yeah, but they

68
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 7: I think the girls because they love those women so much,

69
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 7: and they respect them and they are champions. They are

70
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 7: women who within their own industries, companies, within their time frame.

71
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 7: There that generation broke down so many barriers and really

72
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 7: paved the way for all these women today. And so

73
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 7: then for them to then get that feedback and that

74
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 7: guidance for women from women like that, it just put

75
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 7: a whole different energy around the whole event. And I

76
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 7: think that every woman was on their a game that

77
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 7: night and it shone through. It really really did. And

78
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 7: I could not be more proud. I could not be

79
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 7: more humbled. I could not be more honored. And when

80
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 7: I say humbled, because I've been saying that word a

81
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 7: lot lately, but it's humbled in a good way. Yeah,

82
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 7: you know, it's humbled in the sense.

83
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 2: Of finally getting to do it and because I've been.

84
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 7: Thinking about it and praying about it. And I'll be honest,

85
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 7: like the last two weeks leading up to the event,

86
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 7: I started to get a little bit nervous because less

87
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 7: people were talking, less people were buzzing about it, less

88
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 7: people were the energy was.

89
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: Starting with a lot of big stories.

90
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 7: There was so much happening, There was so you know,

91
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 7: there's been so much happening in the world of wrestling

92
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 7: and within everything that I was like, oh gosh, I

93
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 7: don't want it. I hope it doesn't lose momentum. I

94
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 7: just pray that it delivers. And it did.

95
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it did.

96
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 7: It was.

97
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: And you bring up a good point.

98
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 8: I mean, those that core group right there, you Jazz, Medusa,

99
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 8: Gail Kim. I mean y'are going to be talked about forever,

100
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, Like y'are kind of like

101
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 8: the four horse Women give you want to lie.

102
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: I don't know about that, you know what I mean.

103
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 8: Everyone has their Mount Rushmore, Hogan Flair, all kind of stuff.

104
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: I mean, that could be the women's Mount Rushmore.

105
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 8: You know what I mean, and then a lot of things,

106
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 8: especially if you look at like Medusa.

107
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 2: I mean, she's been in it longer than I get

108
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 2: maybe all of us.

109
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean she I was looking up to her

110
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 7: when I broke in, and she was one of the

111
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 7: women I was watching as a fan, as a you know,

112
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 7: as a growing up and kind of going like wow

113
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 7: because she was doing so much. And that was kind

114
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 7: of the beauty of it is that each of these

115
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 7: women in different companies. You look at the work that

116
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 7: jazz did and ECW and she was untouchable, untouchable. And

117
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 7: I think we all come from diverse backgrounds, diverse cultures,

118
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 7: but yet we've all had to prove ourselves because it

119
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 7: was a very It's one thing to be a really

120
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 7: great woman's wrestler. It's another thing that just to be

121
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 7: a really great wrestler. And I think that was the

122
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 7: end goal for all of us, is to be able

123
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 7: to change the business so that language changed, so it's

124
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 7: not just hey, that was a really good match for

125
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 7: a girls match, but instead it's damn, that was a great.

126
00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: Really match.

127
00:05:59,120 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 7: YEP.

128
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 8: I was one of those fans that did that, and

129
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 8: it was mainly I didn't even know I was doing it,

130
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 8: but like, oh, that was good for the girls, right,

131
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 8: not even thinking about how dismissive it is, how sexist

132
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 8: it is. I mean, we're watching wrestling matches. We're not

133
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 8: watching male wrestling match you know what I mean. And

134
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 8: so like a lot of that. But but going back

135
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 8: to MEDUSA, I mean, you think about how long she's

136
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 8: been involved in the business, She's probably never had an

137
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 8: opportunity like this to do you want to book and

138
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 8: run a women show, what you know, I'm sure that's

139
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 8: never been presented to her.

140
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 7: And she just jumped on right, which's absolutely, yeah, absolutely,

141
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 7: I do yeah, and uh, you know, and I felt like,

142
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 7: you know, there was moments for each woman, and I

143
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 7: I think that at the end of the day, because

144
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 7: it was all one common goal, and that was to

145
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 7: elevate the women and to elevate the way that we

146
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 7: look at the women in the industry and what they're

147
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 7: capable of. Because and I think that there are a

148
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 7: lot of times it's like when you say that, oh,

149
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 7: that was a good match for a girls match, I

150
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 7: think it's because there's been so much of this and

151
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 7: we don't do this with the man as much a

152
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 7: mixture of we'd put a lot of valets in there

153
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 7: as wrestlers, you know, we'd put women who not weren't

154
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 7: necessarily ready to be in wrestling matches on television and

155
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 7: wrestling matches, and it would really kind of it was

156
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 7: unfortunate because you have women like Trish and like Leda

157
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 7: and like myself and like Jazz and like Medusa and

158
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 7: like uh, you know, Lunavashan and my personal favorite, Scary

159
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 7: Sherry's and she was the groundbreaking epitome of a grown

160
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 7: ass woman, of a woman living in a man's world,

161
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 7: respected by the boys as one of the boys. And

162
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 7: she even when she was put in hokey matches, would

163
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 7: still go out there and fight for life. You know,

164
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 7: believe you believed everything that she said and did. And

165
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 7: that is and I think because she was the one

166
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 7: that I looked up to, that was kind of my

167
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 7: real driving force of like I want people to look

168
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 7: at women's wrestling, not with like rose colored glasses or

169
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 7: not with this sideways of like, oh, they really delivered

170
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 7: for the girls, because I always took that as a

171
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 7: backhanded it's a compliment, yes, and people don't even realize

172
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 7: that it was like kind of a backhanded compliment. But

173
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 7: to me, because I had to wrestle with all men

174
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 7: and I did. There wasn't a lot of females training

175
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 7: at that time to be a wrestler. I was like, no, no, no, no,

176
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 7: I want I just want to be great. I don't

177
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 7: want to be great for a girl, like that's not

178
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 7: good enough for me. Yeah, and I think that all

179
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 7: of us had that same Yeah, it's same mindset.

180
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 8: That's kind of when you start seeing stuff change and

181
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 8: then right another thing. I think a lot of people

182
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 8: will overlook with how successful this past weekend was. I mean,

183
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 8: you guys have announced it like two or three months ago.

184
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 8: You didn't have a year to plan this.

185
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 7: We didn't.

186
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 6: I mean, I really it was.

187
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 4: It was Wayne Band right after.

188
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 8: That level of talent, that level of production, that quick.

189
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 8: I mean, imagine what it would do next year.

190
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 5: And I was watching, I was watching on social media

191
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 5: on Saturday. It was like the number one trending thing

192
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 5: in Nashville and everywhere and worldwide.

193
00:08:58,520 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 6: World wide it was.

194
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 7: It was over the UFC for a brief amount of

195
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 7: time there, but it was number two worldwide. Yeah, and worldwide,

196
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 7: crazy insane Yeah.

197
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 8: I mean you go back twelve months ago, there's rumors

198
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 8: of NWA folding, Billy selling, and now that.

199
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 6: Was where those rumors came from.

200
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, you started hearing I don't know, the dirt sheets

201
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 8: are well, the.

202
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 7: Dirt sheets pick up on what they think and then

203
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 7: sometimes people like create this narrative in their mind. I

204
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 7: don't thin give them.

205
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 5: An they'll take a mile with yeah, right, a little

206
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 5: bit Billy's thinking about oh, billy selling.

207
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: Everybody's going on. We try to stay out of that.

208
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: We're like we'd rather.

209
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 7: Just yeah people, Well, I just don't think that that

210
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 7: was ever a conversation, So I'm not sure that that

211
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 7: was ever how that came to be.

212
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 8: I will say I think there was some confusion when

213
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 8: all the Championship Wrestling from Hollywood relaunched and then there

214
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 8: were like nick, right, but it wasn't really an w

215
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 8: A show.

216
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 6: Right, it was a wrestling from Hollywood.

217
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 8: I just think that I think that just kind of

218
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 8: added some speculations.

219
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think that there was a little bit

220
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 7: of the fact that the w didn't really compete at

221
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 7: all during the pandemic. They shut it down, and they

222
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 7: shut it down because Billy was more worried about his performers,

223
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 7: and he's like, look, I don't want to risk it

224
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 7: for my performers. I don't want to I'm not going

225
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 7: to ask them to come travel, to be away from

226
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 7: their families to do all of these things and put

227
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 7: themselves at risk if I'm not comfortable doing it. I

228
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 7: can't ask that of my talent. And that was a

229
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 7: very and that was a bold move. It was a

230
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 7: very bold move. However, I think it was a very

231
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 7: respectful move because me as a person like I would

232
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 7: never ask something of someone that I wasn't willing to

233
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 7: do myself, So I totally got it. But I think

234
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 7: that out of all of that, and now with the

235
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 7: fight deal and then these papers, I think that NWA

236
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 7: seventy three delivered. Oh and it was so good. It

237
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 7: was so good, and to be able to I think

238
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 7: everything kind of aligned them. Getting the Chase ballroom and

239
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 7: locking in that venue was really the catalyst of him

240
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 7: asking and saying hey, because we had already had conversations

241
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 7: about all women's show or stuff like that, it was

242
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 7: the catalyst of him saying, let's do this now, let's

243
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 7: open it with this, and you guys, let's do the

244
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 7: women's show on Saturday. We'll do the pay per view

245
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 7: on Sunday, and we've got the ballroom for two more

246
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 7: days for television tapings, we'll do the season live from

247
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 7: the Chase, and it just all magically kind of unfolded.

248
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 7: But it was also, you know, a lot of pressure

249
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 7: on me because I'm like, crap, I have to get

250
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 7: this pay per view together in like two months.

251
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 4: No pressure.

252
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: Nope.

253
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 7: I didn't sleep, Yeah, didn't sleep, didn't do a lot

254
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 7: of things, and I was.

255
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 2: Just index with all those contacts. I did made a.

256
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 6: Lot of phone calls.

257
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 7: I made a lot of phone calls, got some nose,

258
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 7: got some not right now's or can't do it or

259
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 7: you know, contracts and all the other things. But I

260
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 7: got a lot of yeses, and I got a lot

261
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 7: of uh, you know, next times, and there is going

262
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 7: to be a next time. So that's a beautiful thing.

263
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 8: Well, speaking of your dual roles weekend, do you think

264
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 8: you were more nervous on Saturday with the behind the

265
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 8: scenes stuff or were you more nervous Sunday when you

266
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 8: had to face Cali Ray.

267
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 7: I wasn't nervous for Sunday until Sunday came. Ah, okay,

268
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 7: you know, because I think that I had had so

269
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 7: much energy and focus into Saturday, and I just I

270
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 7: had to, like, here's the thing is that I had

271
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 7: to deliver. We had to deliver because I'd put a

272
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 7: lot on it. I had all my conversations every you know,

273
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 7: everything from you know, the how my release to the

274
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 7: reason why and what I was fighting for quietly and

275
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 7: kind of behind the scenes, and the conversations that I

276
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 7: was having with upper management and stuff like that.

277
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 6: To then step away and then.

278
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 7: Really be like, okay, so was all this fight for

279
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 7: nothing to then be given the platform to prove my point.

280
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 7: So if I did not prove my point and I

281
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 7: did not pick the right people to help me prove

282
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 7: that point, it could another way for me, you know,

283
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 7: could have went and it did not, And I'm so

284
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 7: so grateful. And that's why I say, like, my hat

285
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 7: is forever off to the ladies that I put in

286
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 7: charge for that, because they really ran the show. They

287
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 7: really let up the show as I'm likely running around

288
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 7: like a chicken with my head cut off, you know,

289
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 7: just kind of do it wearing all the hats because

290
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 7: obviously we all wear a lot of hats. So yeah,

291
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 7: it was.

292
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 2: Just and then how long has that been since she wrestled?

293
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 7: That's been almost a year.

294
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: It's been a while. Yeah.

295
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 7: My last match was against Zelena Vega. That that rematch

296
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 7: or the number one contenders match after the after the

297
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 7: Oscar match, which had a very year, had a very

298
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 7: unfortunate thing. Yeah, but we don't have to talk about it.

299
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 6: It was still a great match up until that point,

300
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 6: you know.

301
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: And just.

302
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, so that it was almost a year.

303
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 8: Well, the way things are going with them, she may

304
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 8: be a free agency in anyway.

305
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: Who knows.

306
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 8: I mean, there's so much stuff happening with people coming

307
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 8: and going, well you are staying like nope, gone, and yeah.

308
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 7: There's just so much happening, and that's kind of the

309
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 7: beauty of it. Like a lot of people didn't think.

310
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 7: I didn't even think that I would go back to

311
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 7: WWE for my second run. So that's you know, when

312
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 7: I got the opportunity to go back, I was really

313
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 7: really grateful because I thought it was the perfect way

314
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 7: I needed that. I needed that in my heart and

315
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 7: my soul and my wrestling soul because I felt like

316
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 7: my first departure was on odd terms and I just

317
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 7: wanted a way to put that final bow on it.

318
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 7: I came back and I still didn't get that final bow,

319
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 7: you know, I still didn't get that what I was hoping.

320
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 7: And it's just funny how life works out because you

321
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 7: think that you want this thing and you make this

322
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 7: plan and you kind of see it one way, and

323
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 7: when it doesn't pan out, like you can get pretty devastated.

324
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 7: But then now coming out of it on this side

325
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 7: of it, YEA, through all the stuff, because I had

326
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 7: some pretty magical moments regardless of what anybody says my

327
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 7: second that second run.

328
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alexis had a lot of good stuff. It was

329
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: great evolution, and I mean it's not it wasn't a.

330
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 6: Dutch no, no, no, no, it wasn't it.

331
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 7: It was far from a dudg right, far I'm a

332
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 7: dud and I hate because I never want to spend

333
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 7: it that way, and I know a lot of people

334
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 7: tend to spend it that but it's not. That's not

335
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 7: the case at all. It's just more of like.

336
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: That working with the new young talent.

337
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 7: Wishful thinking of like, okay, maybe just this one final stamp, yeah,

338
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 7: you know, to where we can all And I think

339
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 7: that everybody in any industry wants that, of course, regardless

340
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 7: of where you are, you want that final bow, right.

341
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 7: But the unfortunate thing is in wrestling, not everybody gets that,

342
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 7: Like ten percent get that. Yeah, And I guess I

343
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 7: was just hoping to be in that ten percent, you

344
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 7: know what I mean.

345
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 6: But that's okay because now.

346
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 4: You've got your own stuff doing whatever you.

347
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 7: I am doing my own stuff and control over everything.

348
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 6: We can hear hardcore country again, which we didn't hear

349
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 6: for the last few years.

350
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 5: And that's what we're excited about because when we were

351
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 5: at Slammiversary, We're sitting there and I was like, Okay,

352
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 5: what's happening, And all of a sudden, your music hits

353
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 5: in that place, comes on glued, and then you show

354
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 5: up and the TV tapings and our friend KB starts

355
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 5: crying at ringside.

356
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 7: And they all remember the words.

357
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 5: And everybody, And that's the great thing is like having

358
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 5: people sing the song I've got and having back I

359
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 5: know that that was a big thing.

360
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 7: For you, right, yes, yeah, because it was my first

361
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 7: I hadn't performed really in front of people in a

362
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 7: long time, you know, And I went back and I

363
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 7: had performed in front of like the you know, the

364
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 7: Thunderdome experience kind of thing where it was. But it's

365
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 7: not the same. It's not it's not the same, and

366
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 7: it doesn't translate on television the same because we don't

367
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 7: have that We as performers, we we need the crowd,

368
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 7: We need the people because that's what we perform for.

369
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 7: And there's a lot of times that in that in

370
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 7: those things, as you think it's working, but unless you

371
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 7: hear it and the people, because the people will tell

372
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 7: you to tell you if it's immediately, let'll tell you.

373
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 7: And so that's that was probably the biggest challenge is

374
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 7: after working for twenty years to work for the people

375
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 7: and for those reactions, to know that instant gratification of

376
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 7: whether it's working or it's not working so you can

377
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 7: fix it and change it right there. To have that

378
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 7: back and that energy, it's just like it's a whole

379
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 7: It changes everything.

380
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: It's almost like you take it for granted a little.

381
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: You really do you know, you go.

382
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 8: From wrestling in front of five pe people to a

383
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 8: hundred and then you've just kind.

384
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: Of always had a crowd and right take that out.

385
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 8: The feedback we've heard from from wrestlers we've interviewed over

386
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 8: the year last year with the pandemic is just like,

387
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 8: I'm so glad we have crowds to get hard well.

388
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 7: And I think too that there'll be moments in matches

389
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 7: where you are exhausted and you really have to dig deep,

390
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 7: like you're you're tired, you're beat up, you're hurt, you

391
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 7: got hurt somewhere in the match, but you still have

392
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 7: to finish. And it is those responds, like it is

393
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 7: the fire from the crowd that will really ignite that

394
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 7: that will really fire you up to make it through. Yes, yes,

395
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 7: and you need that, I think, And that's always the

396
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 7: beauty of professional wrestling, I think is the fans are

397
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,719
Speaker 7: part of that show, a part of that, you know,

398
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 7: that story, and so it's good to have them back

399
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 7: and to be in a place where we can see

400
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 7: them again.

401
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 5: It's crazy because it's like Slammiversary was our first like

402
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 5: live show back in a year, and we were right there.

403
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 5: I think the last show was a Ring of Honor

404
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 5: show where Nick showed up and attacked PCO and.

405
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 2: We're like ye and a half, yeah wow.

406
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 5: And having being back, like when we found out that

407
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 5: the tape we were gonna let fans in and all

408
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 5: of this stuff, like we're like, okay, we'll do what

409
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 5: we got to do to make sure we get in it,

410
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 5: because it was it was a complete, like you said,

411
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 5: completely different thing being there chanting, whereas I'm just sitting

412
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 5: here at a computer screen being like, yeah, yeah, you know.

413
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 5: It's It's one of those things like it was a

414
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 5: feel good thing for us to get back at the

415
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 5: slamm A version and get back to Impact, which again

00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 4: We didn't mean to do that to you.

424
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 5: But so let's kind of talk about something that happened

425
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 5: that's setting up for what's going on in Impact. You

426
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 5: finished your match at seventy three and this mass person

427
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 5: shows up.

428
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 7: Well, first off, let's just talk about this match at

429
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 7: seventy three because I want to get to that right there.

430
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 7: Kylie Ray incredible. Wow. And for my first match back

431
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 7: in front of people, in front of you know, at

432
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 7: NWA seventy three, at the Chase or somewhere I never

433
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 7: thought I'd be wrestling. It was remarkable and she is

434
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 7: an incredible talent and incredible performer. I couldn't have thought

435
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 7: of a better person for I couldn't have thought of

436
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 7: a better person to walk back in there and have

437
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 7: my first match back in front of people, because she's

438
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 7: not you know, she has a genuine love and respect

439
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 7: for the business, and I see a lot of myself

440
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 7: and her and her like I don't smile as much.

441
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 7: I mean I do, actually, yeah, but I don't smile

442
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 7: as much, and I'm not as happy. I get angry

443
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 7: and aggressive. But she is a mega talent. She really

444
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 7: really is. I was really excited about that. I was

445
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 7: nervous going up to it, into the match, but then

446
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 7: to come out of it and to have this moment

447
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 7: and then, you know, with everything leading up to in Power,

448
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 7: I will say that I was really pulling for Deanna,

449
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 7: this Deanna and Molina match for several reasons. I wanted to,

450
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 7: Like I had said that I wanted to do business

451
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 7: with people who wanted to do business with Mickey James,

452
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 7: and I felt like one of the first people that

453
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 7: I called was Impact Wrestling because I have such a

454
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 7: long history there and I am a multi time women's champion,

455
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 7: and there's a lot of love, you know, from behind

456
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 7: the scenes to the locker room, and I just felt

457
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 7: like it was it was going to be good business,

458
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 7: good siziness. Yes, I'm going to get that word over

459
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 7: you just wait a shirt right now, Yeah, coming shop

460
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 7: it what's best for sisiness.

461
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: Uh, it's almost like the Mama with the sisiness.

462
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, well there's another one T shirts already. We are,

463
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 7: we're really doing it. Uh, However, you know I don't

464
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 7: for whatever reason. I also thought that Deanna versus Malina

465
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 7: is a match that we've never seen. We've never seen

466
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 7: Malina show up in an Impact ring or on Impact television,

467
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 7: And to me, I've Melena and I's careers are very parallel,

468
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 7: like we were in obw together. She came up to

469
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 7: television before. She's been wrestling a little bit less than me,

470
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 7: but she came up to television before me. Then throughout

471
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 7: our careers, we've always been here different stories, but they've

472
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 7: always like intertwined, you know. But that moment I think

473
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 7: was incredibly special for her because she's fighting back from

474
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 7: an ACL injury, she lost her father.

475
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 6: You know, she's not won a championship in some time.

476
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 7: And I believe that Molina is one of the greatest

477
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 7: of all times. I really true that she's got no

478
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 7: one has yet to top her entrance, that it's one

479
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 7: of the greatest female entrances of all time. It's period

480
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 7: one of the greatest entrances of all time.

481
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 5: I don't know how I couldn't do the splits that

482
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 5: she does. I tried it once just for fun, and

483
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 5: I was like, I'm not going to do it.

484
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 7: I got stuck.

485
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 4: I got stuck halfway down. So I was like, no,

486
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 4: I'll just let Molina do that.

487
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, let her keep that one.

488
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 7: No. But it was just and that match was just

489
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 7: an incredible mac. You know, I was proud of both women,

490
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 7: and I secretly, yes, not so secretly, because I publicly said,

491
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 7: especially with the attitude that Deanna, you know, it's that

492
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 7: whole self serving kind of cocky uh. You know, of

493
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 7: course you want me their kind of attitude when I

494
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 7: was really trying to make her a part of a

495
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 7: magical night and showcase her showcase impact as her as

496
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 7: the champion in a special way, and she just kind

497
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 7: of took it the wrong way. And that's unfortunate. And

498
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 7: we do have a clash of egos that that's for sure.

499
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 7: We're two different people. And uh, but what she did

500
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 7: at seventy three was completely not only uncalled for, it

501
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 7: was disrespectful.

502
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 6: It was very very selfish and uh.

503
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 2: I don't handled any other way.

504
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 6: It could have.

505
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 7: And you and I think it's no secret that I

506
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 7: don't handle disrespect well, oh no, it's not.

507
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 6: Yes, not something I deal with.

508
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 2: We don't handle this respecting them well.

509
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 5: And yes, the thing like, we had Deanna on not

510
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 5: too long ago and we asked her, we were like, hey,

511
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 5: do you want to see Mickey And she's like, she

512
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 5: ruined my night at Slammiversary and she moved, you ruined

513
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 5: her night at Homecoming.

514
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: And that's what that's how she thinks, and she thinks.

515
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 5: That you have ruined her up until this point time

516
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 5: and Impact wrestling, for sh I.

517
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 6: Keep stealing her spotlight.

518
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, so maybe that was And I could see

519
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 7: how she could perceive it that way. And I'm sorry.

520
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm sorry that I'm not sorry. Actually, I'm

521
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 7: not sorry that I came out there. I'm not sorry

522
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 7: that the people started seeing hardcore country. I'm not sorry that,

523
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 7: after twenty years in the business, that the people love

524
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 7: and respect me, and I think that the people love

525
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 7: and respect her too as a champion. But when you

526
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 7: get to a point where you have sacrificed your whole life,

527
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 7: or at least majority of your life to a business,

528
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 7: to a thankless business, sometimes you know, and you get

529
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 7: that reaction. I hope I hope the same for her.

530
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 7: I hope that she gets to that point because when

531
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 7: she gets there and she understands, and then she's going

532
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 7: to understand why I did what I did because I

533
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 7: knew that there was only one place to make a

534
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 7: statement if I was going to come at her, and

535
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 7: that was going to be at Slammiversary. Yep, it was

536
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 7: going to be the where is it going to see

537
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 7: the most people going to see it, Where are the

538
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 7: most people going to talk about it? Where is it

539
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 7: going to make an impact? Legitimately an impact to put

540
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 7: her on notice, to say yes, I want.

541
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 6: You there, you know.

542
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 7: And I thought that was actually doing her a solid

543
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 7: and it was going to be a special moment, and

544
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 7: she's turned it into something that is not. But you know,

545
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 7: now I don't have my business hat on. I don't

546
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 7: have my well, I do have a hat, I don't.

547
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 6: Have my business hat on at the moment.

548
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 7: Like you know, Empower is done right now, like we've finished,

549
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 7: we've wrapped it up.

550
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 2: And so I got a lot of free time coming up.

551
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 7: I got a fair amount of free time. And I

552
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 7: think that she's forgotten that I live not too far

553
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 7: from here m hm. So I could legitimately show up

554
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 7: at any time.

555
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: Sounds like some stuff.

556
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 7: Or I could just go on the parking lot and

557
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 7: slash retires.

558
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: There.

559
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 2: Well.

560
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 8: Concerning the female talent, and I hate to call it

561
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 8: that obviously, but you know what I mean.

562
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: We asked Billy this, Did we.

563
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,959
Speaker 4: Interview him last week or we interviewed him the week up?

564
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 8: Yes, we actually interviewed him the day seam Punk debut,

565
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 8: so that was two weeks ago. Anyways, we just talked

566
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 8: to him right before the big weekend concerning new talent.

567
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 8: What are you looking for.

568
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: For the women's division? I mean, is there a prototypical now?

569
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 8: You know we always joke, you know, Vince, they have

570
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 8: the Land of the Giants, that's their thing.

571
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 2: I mean, do you have a prototypical?

572
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 7: Right they have?

573
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 6: They do like they have the Land of the Giants,

574
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 6: and they also.

575
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 7: Have like the there is a certain prototype, if you will.

576
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 7: I do not believe in stereotype some prototypes. I think

577
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 7: that when I fell in love with the business, what

578
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 7: was the beauty and the magic of it was is

579
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 7: that everybody was so different. Nobody was the same, nobody

580
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 7: like there there were there was the jacked guy, the

581
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 7: real muscly guy. But there was also the guy that

582
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 7: looked like your uncle from the corner store Murder.

583
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 6: There was there was the beautiful, stunning girls.

584
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 7: There were the girls that looked like monsters, like they

585
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 7: would eat you for lunch.

586
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 4: Sean did always scare me when I saw her.

587
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 7: She was I was not a luna of a Sean fan.

588
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 7: I am a luna of a Sean fan. Now, I

589
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 7: was not a fan of hers. She was probably one

590
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 7: of the only people who scared the living daylights out

591
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 7: of me.

592
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 4: I think I came around to her her when she

593
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 4: was with the Odyssey.

594
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, when she first started with her and she's I

595
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 5: was like, I'm out, I don't want to watch his mom.

596
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 4: Can we take the channel?

597
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 8: It looked she looked like one of those where if

598
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 8: you saw her on the street, it's the same thing,

599
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 8: like it just looked like you just go to the

600
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 8: opposite side.

601
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 7: Yeah you later, I'm gonna talking to the store real quick. Yeah. No,

602
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 7: she scared me, and like so much respect and love

603
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 7: for her now obviously and even after I was in

604
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 7: the business, but as a fan, even though that sensational

605
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 7: Sherry didn't scare me, and she had face paint, she

606
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 7: did all the things. But I was terrified of Luna.

607
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 7: I thought that she would murder somebody and eat them,

608
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 7: like literally rip off their army. And when she would talk,

609
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 7: it would just make it ten times. Oh my god,

610
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 7: what a but what a talent. But that's what I'm

611
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 7: looking for. I'm looking for stars. I'm looking for talent.

612
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 7: I'm looking for talent who dares to be different and

613
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 7: who wants to be a star, you know. And that's

614
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 7: what like, even in the selection of the Cup, it

615
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 7: was so important to have women from diverse backgrounds, from

616
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 7: diverse levels in the game of how their experience and

617
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 7: if there's anything that I can say about that night,

618
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 7: the one thing that I did say is I was

619
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 7: going to try to make some stars that night, and

620
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 7: it was you know, obviously, everyone delivered and the cup

621
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 7: was amazing. I thought that everyone shined, but little Toody Lynn,

622
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 7: what a start that one is. I got like little

623
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 7: chill bumps. And I said that from the get started,

624
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 7: I was like, you know, I wanted Saint Louis to

625
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 7: be represented, and I said, I wanted to find talent

626
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 7: that hasn't been seen yet. And that was one I

627
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 7: kept and that wasn't even me like looking for her.

628
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 7: People kept text messaging me and sending her because I

629
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 7: please take a look at her. Please take a look

630
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 7: at her via social media via And when I saw her,

631
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 7: I saw her in the mask and I saw this

632
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 7: masked and so I called her via zoom and I'm like,

633
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 7: and then I see her beautiful little face. What I'm like,

634
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 7: Tooty your name is Tooty Lynn, Like it's a chantable name.

635
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 7: And then I see her face and I'm like, God,

636
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 7: this is a babyface if I've ever seen a baby face.

637
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 7: This is why, Like I get masked characters and I

638
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 7: get the thing. But I'm like, your face is so expressive,

639
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 7: it's so lovable. The people are going to fall in

640
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 7: love with you, Tooty Lynn. Like and and I get

641
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 7: characters and all that stuff. I'm like, but please just

00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 7: trust me on this. Like I need Tooty Lynn and

643
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 7: Saint Louis. Yeah, that's what I need.

644
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 2: Well, that was a standout.

645
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 7: It was a moment, like the people were erupted over her.

646
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that one. I have it.

647
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 8: I think I have a new favorite tag team now

648
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 8: with the Hecks killed it. Yeah, I love now granted

649
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 8: they're a little bit more veteran. Alison k was the

650
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 8: NWA World Champion, but them coming back and them together,

651
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 8: I mean, their their look.

652
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 7: They looked like a team.

653
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 2: They looked there. I thought every favorite team.

654
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 7: And the cool thing about that was is that I

655
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 7: thought that every team was so different.

656
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: Oh, even the Free Babes.

657
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 7: Love the Free Babes.

658
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: They kind of to me at first, I was kind

659
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 2: of like, Okay, we'll see what happens. I got a

660
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: lot of that.

661
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 7: They I got a lot of that with the I

662
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,959
Speaker 7: got a lot of knee jerk reactions on the like

663
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 7: there was people who either loved it and if you

664
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 7: get it as to why they're the Free Babes, and

665
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 7: you get it and you understand it. We're all about

666
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 7: respecting the business. We're all about nostalgia and throwing back

667
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 7: to the people that paved the way for us. And

668
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 7: there's no doubt in my mind that the Freebirds one

669
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 7: of the greatest tag teams of all time still to

670
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 7: this day. I just I thought Miranda Gordy, obviously it's

671
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 7: very near and dear to her for obvious reasons, with

672
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 7: her father, with Terry vammamc Gordy. However, Jimmy Yang, I

673
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 7: saw Jazzy Yang. They came to the house on their

674
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 7: way when they were going back to Atlanta when they

675
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 7: were moving, and I saw Jazzy and I'm like, look,

676
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 7: and I was like, I want to find a place.

677
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 7: I love Jimmy, I have so much history, friendship, long time,

678
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 7: and I'm like their needs, like I want to find

679
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 7: the right place. And then when I talked to Haley

680
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 7: j and her mom is a professional wrestler. Obviously never

681
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 7: made like she's not gone past the independent, but I've

682
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 7: seen her multiple times that tryouts either impact WWE. She's

683
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 7: the head trainer for the females at OVW now, and

684
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 7: you know there's.

685
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 6: Not a whole lot of women.

686
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 7: Or second generational in wrestlers period from the female side,

687
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,239
Speaker 7: that second generation on the female side, And I was like,

688
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 7: and that little girl is a star.

689
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 6: I don't care what anybody says.

690
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 7: She's got all the tools, she's got the mouth, she

691
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 7: can talk it, she can walk it. She's been a

692
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 7: two time women's champion on OVW. So all of them

693
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 7: have strong pedigrees. They're all second generation and a throwback

694
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 7: to we like to throw back to the histories and

695
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 7: the legacy, and I thought Freebabes was a it was

696
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 7: so and they delivered and Miranda, what a hoss, Like unbelievable.

697
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: That's going to be a solid unit. I mean they

698
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 2: are if you get a couple more months under them.

699
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 6: As they start working more.

700
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 7: Because they were kind of like and I feel because

701
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 7: I'm like, kind of threw them together and said, you guys,

702
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 7: this Freebabes. Like obviously Marianna took because she it is

703
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 7: so close to her. She took charge and the lead

704
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 7: on it all. But I'm like, this is money.

705
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean it was it's money.

706
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 4: You know.

707
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 2: The couple little rough spots in the match, I mean

708
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: that it was just nerves. It's more nerves than anything.

709
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 6: I think everybody was nerves.

710
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 8: Yea to you could tell it wasn't a talent thing.

711
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,959
Speaker 8: Maybe rush that one spot or something, right I was.

712
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 8: I was very impressed with that one. Same yeah, same

713
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:26,719
Speaker 8: it was.

714
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 6: And Hell on Heels. I loved Hell on Heels.

715
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Helen Hills was great.

716
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 6: I loved them so much.

717
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 2: The big thing that.

718
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 8: That happened is just that you brought in I think

719
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 8: a lot of people, maybe me too. I think a

720
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 8: lot of people just thought it was going to be

721
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 8: like Chelsea Green and Deonna, like big, big stuff, but

722
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 8: you kind of picked a lot of different mixed it up,

723
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 8: the legends like Malina and people we've never heard of.

724
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 8: I mean, it was a very balanced show in the

725
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 8: sense that it was it wasn't just all the old

726
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 8: w W AGAs right.

727
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 7: Well, I'm with ad W's involvement too of having Kyl

728
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 7: and King in red velvet, you know, which is a

729
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 7: very they're legitimately best friends too, and they're so like

730
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 7: every woman impressed me out there and they I think

731
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 7: that a lot of people expected. I don't know what

732
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 7: people expected, but I also, you know, I knew that

733
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 7: I was making uh. I was trying to make a

734
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 7: strong women's division for the n w A in the process.

735
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 7: So because it is we're introducing the tag Team Championship.

736
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 7: By the way, beautiful.

737
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: Love, I'm simple. The Blue Pops Stunning Battle even said

738
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 2: the same thing or like that.

739
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 4: It's just it's just simplistic. Yeah, it's it's just the

740
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 4: middle nothing.

741
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 6: Billy.

742
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 7: He's so into tradition and he's so with the popa

743
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 7: color of the of that teal, which is that teal

744
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 7: is a special color to me for other reasons. But

745
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 7: when I saw it, I was just like crying because

746
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 7: it you know, it's it's ovarian cancer awareness month. Most

747
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 7: people know that I lost my sister a few years

748
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 7: ago to ovarian cancer. And so that is the ribbon.

749
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 7: It's on my wrist. Here, it's behind my bow, I said.

750
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 7: Between all my two sisters and I, we got the

751
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 7: same tattoo, but I put the ovarian cancer ribbon.

752
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 6: But it's the same color as that ribbon.

753
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 7: And it was just like this weird moment for me

754
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 7: where I just was like, well, my sister's here with me.

755
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 3: You know.

756
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 7: It was like so powerful, but anyway, I'm not going

757
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 7: to start crying, so.

758
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 4: You beating Dianna's acid next time A.

759
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 2: Tail from there.

760
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 7: But yeah, it was just beautifully done.

761
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 6: And the tournament.

762
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 7: I love the way that it's like we're finding the

763
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 7: top four teams that we think because the thing is

764
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 7: is that there's not a strong tag division out there

765
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 7: for the ladies right now.

766
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 6: There's really not.

767
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 7: There's a few tag teams, but there is now there's

768
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 7: a demand for it, if ever there was, and we

769
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 7: were able to like showcase tag team wrestling and women's

770
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 7: tag team wrestling and four teams that really could have

771
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 7: walked away as incredible champions. Absolutely, and so yeah, yeah,

772
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 7: it was a good night. I mean, it was just

773
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 7: a good night altogether, you know. And Camille the brick

774
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 7: House obvious.

775
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 4: She's another one that before and I'm just like, hey.

776
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, she is a woman.

777
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,959
Speaker 8: Billy caught it too when we interviewed him two years

778
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 8: ago the first time.

779
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 2: He said that that she was like the MVP so

780
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 2: far and was incredible. They look like a star. She does.

781
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,200

00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 8: She I mean, she looks she kind of reminds me

788
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 8: of Roman in a sense that like when she walks

789
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:47,600

00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 7: All eyes her eyes on her.

791
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 8: She was at a w I guess when I guess

792
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 8: Layla won the match to set that up, and when

793
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 8: she got it, it was just kind of.

794

Speaker 2: He was this And so.

795
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,479
Speaker 8: Now you're talking to people are like, well, what about

796
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 8: her and Jade? What about her and Charlotte?

797
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,720

798
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, sure, yeah, no, but seriously, no, Like that was

799
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 7: a match where I was just sitting back in all

800
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 7: going like, both of those women and Layla she's incredibly talented.

801
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, and I didn't know a whole lot about

802
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,479
Speaker 7: her leading into I'd seen a little bit here and there,

803
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 7: and even when I saw them nose to nose, I'm like, like,

804
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 7: when you start thinking, I'm like, oh god.

805
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe maybe we need to rethink.

806
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, but man, what a killer. She's amazing.

807
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 8: It was one of the best kind of that David

808
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 8: versus Goliath matches I've seen in a long It reminded

809
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,319

Speaker 2: Big show in who Merriweather that?

812
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 8: Because yeah, yeah, and uh, I think I think she

813
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 8: did a great job of putting Layla over. I think

814
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 8: she looks a million times better than she did before

815
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 8: that match, no doubt. But then, and you know, of

816
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 8: course Champ took care of business, so of course she did.

817
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 7: Of course she did. But then so now, okay, sorry,

818
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 7: is that I went off the beaten path there.

Speaker 7: husband lost the championship, but.

826
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,640

829
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 6: I was on the championship with the new Yeah.

00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 4: I was texting Ela.

831
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 5: I was like, man, you get a brand new belt

832
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 5: made and then all of a sudden it's gone, And

833
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 5: it's like, that's gotta be hard.

834
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 7: It's hard when.

835
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 8: You when you kind of a lot of times when

836
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 8: you lead into that whole title versus career thing, like

837
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 8: you kind of know, unless it's kind of open knowledge

838
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 8: like they're retired, you know, right, So I kind of

839
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 8: had a feeling, but I was just like, man.

840
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 4: I didn't want to believe it.

841
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: I don't.

842
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 4: When I saw that third hand down, I was like.

843
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 7: No, there's no way there's something happening right. So no,

844
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 7: but it was the perfect place it was, and if

845
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 7: it had to happen, if there's one person, you know,

846
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 7: I think that you know, Nick, my husband has done

847
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 7: so much work and people have no idea. Has worked

848
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 7: so hard these last few years with Billy with the NWA,

849
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 7: but he's helped carry that company on the bat on

850
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 7: his back, especially through the pandemic the last thousand and

851
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 7: forty four days. And he's an incredible champion. He's an

852
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 7: incredible man. He's incredible talent, He's so smart, and there's

853
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 7: a lot of stuff that he does that people have

854
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 7: no idea. But Trevor is also my friend and I

855
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 7: love him and I respect him, and I have so

856
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 7: many memories with him and just you know, from our

857
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 7: first runs and all these things and with Lance and

858
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 7: you know, and to see his kids there and that

859
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 7: emotion felt that night, and you know, he never thought

860
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 7: he would become world champion, and just the story and

861
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 7: the history within the chase and with him with Harley.

862
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 7: Like I know, Nick has trained under Harley, but Trevor

863
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 7: was his very first student and probably as close to

864
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 7: a son Harley as one could be, you know. And

865
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 7: to see him come out in Harley's jacket, like the

866
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 7: remake of the jacket, but Murderck's style and just the

867
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 7: whole night, the whole like it was.

868
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,479
Speaker 6: I was on my seat, I.

869
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 7: Was screaming like a fan on the side, like I

870
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 7: blew my voice out. I could not speak the next

871
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 7: day because I'm just screaming my heart out. And obviously

872
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 7: I wanted my husband to win, but if there was

873
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 7: one person he was going to lose to, I'm glad

874
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 7: it was Trevor.

875
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

876
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 5: And I like the nod at the end with with

877
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 5: the pile driver being the it with Harley and like

878
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 5: some people like diehard wrestling fans will get that, but

879
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 5: for the casual fan and then when they go back

880
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 5: and look at it, then.

881
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,439
Speaker 4: It means ten times more.

882
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 6: That's finish, right, no doubt, no doubt.

883
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 7: But so now I'm gonna spin it on back because

884
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 7: I've gone off the beaten path.

885
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 2: Oh Deanna, Back to Deanna Deanna?

886
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 7: What am I going to do about her? I mean,

887
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 7: do you do you do you feel is it if

888
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 7: like I feel disrespected to what I feel?

889
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 5: Do you feel like you deserve a title shot for

890
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 5: Deanna or do you just want to get revenge?

891
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 4: Well a little bit of both.

892
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 6: You know.

893
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 7: Here's the thing is that it's like disrespect is not

894
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 7: about just taking her title from her, and that was

895
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 7: never My intention is to come back and just go

896
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 7: like I honestly wanted to her to be a part

897
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 7: of this magical night. And yeah, I'm sorry that her

898
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 7: ego allowed it to take it a different way, but

899
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 7: I refuse to be disrespected and embarrassed, especially after such

900
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 7: a great.

901
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 6: Night, you know, like we're all on cloud nine.

902
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 7: And I I know that she has made a statement,

903
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 7: and she obviously moved her chest piece. But I don't

904
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 7: typically get as angry as I do is when I

905
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 7: get just get revenge.

906
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 6: And so.

907
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 7: I know that her championships are very precious and near

908
00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 7: and dear to her, and so taking one of them

909
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 7: or both of them from her would probably hurt he

910
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 7: or ego a whole lot more than just her spotlight.

911
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 4: Yeah I canna a champion next to.

912
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, well yeah, I did say, like, you know that

913
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 7: number ten looks good, but hey, eleven looks good to

914
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 7: double numbers, you know, you know.

915
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 8: And kind of bouncing off that. So right now you're

916
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 8: obviously proudly waving the NDBA flag.

917
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 2: Everyone's obviously you look.

918
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 9: So good in that show marked out in the studio,

919
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 9: right It's pretty funny because when we talked to Billy

920
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 9: two weeks ago, I have kind of the hoodie I

921
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 9: have at my desk is an NWA hoodie, and so

922
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,600

Speaker 9: getting on with Billy's like cool.

924
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 8: So I go to my other computer and I have

925
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 8: it on there, and he's like, oh, hey, nice hoodie.

926
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 2: Oh this was an accident. I did not do this.

927
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 2: It's just what I would.

928
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 6: I didn't plan it.

929
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, this was a plan obviously. But anyways, So yeah,

930
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 8: so waving the flag for n w A. I mean,

931
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 8: we've talked about the brewing thing with Deanna, and obviously

932
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 8: she's an impact. You've had history of the impact. I mean,

933
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,800
Speaker 8: do you see yourself taking advantage of the open forbidden

934
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 8: door and going places? I mean if someone called you

00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 7: wrestling and wrestling as in general is like I've especially

939
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 7: now because I've been under contract a different places or whatever,

940
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 7: but this whole forbidden door thing, I go, like, what

941
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 7: the end of the day, we are independent contractors.

942
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 2: And you should be able to do whatever you want, and.

943
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 7: I should be able to show up wherever I want

944
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 7: to show up.

945
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 2: There's only one place that don't let you do that.

946
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 7: But at the same time, when I look at the

947
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 7: how business has been done right and if we fall

948
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 7: back to I'm so big on falling back on history

949
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 7: and legacy.

950
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 6: Is like the territories and stuff like that.

951
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,760
Speaker 7: You would see a talent that was really really hot

952
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 7: in a town in New York or Texas and if

953
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 7: something like because as the cycles go through, they would

954
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 7: often fall out of the storyline and they would go

955
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 7: on to a different territory and get just as hot

956
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 7: and have different matchups and different people to work with.

957
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 6: So I'm all about that.

958
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,720
Speaker 7: I think the more you know, we can lean into that,

959
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 7: that's really cool. And as long as everybody's you know,

960
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 7: doing good business.

961
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, goodsess.

962
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 8: But you know, back I'm from West Tennessee, so Memphis

963
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 8: wrestling was my thing.

964
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 2: But you'd have Jerry Lawler go to a w A.

965
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 2: You haven't go over to Dallas, right, you know, and

966
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 2: same kind of thing, you know, but it was different.

967
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 7: It was just matches that you wouldn't see anywhere else,

968
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 7: you know, because there is talent so yes, the short

969
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 7: answer is yes.

970
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 6: But I think that you know, when I.

971
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 7: Look at loyalty and love, obviously, you know, I have

972
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 7: loyalty with n w A for the ability to be

973
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 7: able to do this, you know, present the Women's show

974
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 7: and to do that, and I'm really looking forward to

975
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 7: the future and I feel like there's a lot more

976
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 7: that they're going to do that we're going to do.

977
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 7: But I have a love and a lot of love

978
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 7: and loyalty for the Impact you know wrestling as well,

979
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 7: because I was able to when I left the first

980
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 7: time WWE, and I still have a lot of love

981
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 7: and loyalty for w w A. I know it gets

982
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:12,720
Speaker 7: spun a lot of different ways.

983
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 2: And even Rick had nice things to say, you know,

984
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 2: you mean.

985
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 7: Well, because it's like they that's who put me in

986
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 7: front of the eyes where I've made it, you know,

987
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 7: to become to that hout exactly. I wouldn't have been

988
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 7: able to go to Impact Wrestling and become hardcore country

989
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 7: Mickey James had I not had the career that I

990
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 7: had there. Yeah, you know so, and.

991
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 2: That's where you met Nick too, right.

992
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 7: That is where I met my lovely husband, and now

993
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 7: we have a beautiful son. Yeah, everything happens for a reason.

994
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 7: We don't always see it at the moment, but when

995
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 7: we sit back and look at the big picture. And

996
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 7: that's what I've learned, you know, through life, is when

997
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 7: you sit back and look at it all and the

998
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 7: big thing, it's it's all beautiful and it's all for

999
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 7: a reason. And so now I have an opportunity to

1000
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 7: be able to go back and say thanks to Impact

1001
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 7: for everything, because they afforded me an opportunity to do whatever,

1002
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 7: really be me, to be who I truly was, and

1003
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 7: to be hardcore country, which was at that time was

1004
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 7: way more in line with anything that I had done

1005
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 7: on TV that in the recent years.

1006
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 2: And from your background and your interest.

1007
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 7: Right and from music to being from Montpellier, Virginia, like

1008
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 7: a small town outside of Richmond, to growing up on

1009
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 7: a farm and to you know, I didn't have to

1010
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 7: pretend to not have an accent anymore. I didn't have

1011
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 7: to I could just be me and say the things.

1012
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 7: And it was also more of a grown woman place,

1013
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 7: because before I felt like I was always still in

1014
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 7: this like little that girl next door not still kind

1015
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 7: of naive and I'm like, oh, I'm not that naive,

1016
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 7: you know what I mean, all these like little things.

1017
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 7: Whereas I was just I had more freedom and I

1018
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 7: had a chance to reinvent myself. And again it could

1019
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 7: have went the other way for me. But luckily for me,

1020
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 7: the people loved hardcore country because I loved herd and

1021
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 7: I felt it and it was real and it was

1022
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 7: coming from a real place. And so to be able

1023
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 7: to go back to Impact and say hardcore country is

1024
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 7: back because I know we've missed it, I've missed it

1025
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 7: is really really cool and special. And I have so

1026
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 7: many friends there too, you know, we have friends in

1027
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 7: all these locker rooms.

1028
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 6: That's the thing.

1029
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 7: The longer you're in the business, the more friends or enemies,

1030
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 7: depending on how you do business you have.

1031
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 2: They're everywhere. They're everywhere well, and it's kind of like,

1032
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 2: you know, having interviewed a bunch of talent over the years, now,

1033
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 2: I mean those those characters that are extensions of yourself,

1034
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 2: those are the ones that are the superstars.

1035
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 7: Those are the best ones, you know.

1036
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 8: I mean, when the Rock quit being Rocky myavea and

1037
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 8: became the Rock and just turned it up to ten,

1038
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 8: everything changed.

1039
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 7: The whole business changed.

1040
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean, and so when.

1041
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 7: Austin quit being the ring master and quit doing that

1042
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 7: and said, I'm going to be Stone.

1043
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 2: Cold Steve Texas Red, I'm gonna that's what I'm.

1044
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 7: Gonna be, and I'm just going to go out there,

1045
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 7: and that was that was when for me when I

1046
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 7: fell back in love with wrestling. Yeah, for hardcore fell

1047
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 7: back was that whole d X, the Rock Stone Cold take,

1048
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 7: like all those mankind, the stuff that was happening on television,

1049
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,399
Speaker 7: you know, Trish making her see make in her way

1050
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 7: on the scene leda like getting to do these moves

1051
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 7: to guys on television.

1052
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 2: And do Phoenix.

1053
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, you know you look at that that

1054
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 7: that what like just it was just so different and

1055
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,280
Speaker 7: it was cool and it was electric, and the characters

1056
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 7: were allowed to be themselves.

1057
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 6: They had more free reign.

1058
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 7: They could go out there and say and do what

1059
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 7: they knew and they were entrusted in because they knew

1060
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 7: that they weren't going to just go off the rails,

1061
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 7: but they were going for the right reasons and that's

1062
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 7: get the people and exactly, you know that is what

1063
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 7: That's how wrestlers really thrive is when they have a

1064
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 7: little bit of freedom to truly be themselves, and you

1065
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 7: put the trust in them to know that they're going

1066
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 7: to deliver and not just some like handwritten say this,

1067
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 7: you know, because if you don't believe it, you certainly

1068
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 7: can't make other people believe it for sure.

1069
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 5: So well, I know, I know you got a lot

1070
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 5: of stuff going on today, So I don't want to

1071
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 5: take up too much of time because I mean, we

1072
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 5: could be in here for hours, an hour, I mean,

1073
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 5: we can make this.

1074
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 6: Are we going to take a private jet to Bound

1075
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 6: for Glory?

1076
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 2: Oh?

1077
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 6: I heard that's in Vegas.

1078
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 7: I heard a gambling.

1079
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 5: I'm down for gambling. Is that going to be expensed

1080
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 5: by either Scott or Ross? I think Ross was booking

1081
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:30,240
Speaker 5: the jet.

1082
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 2: Actually maybe a Christian. He's got the world champion.

1083
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got the world champion.

1084
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 7: I've already gotten it wrapped with hardcore country.

1085
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 4: Well, we'll hop on that plane. For sure. We'll be

1086
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 4: at Bound for Glory, but.

1087

Speaker 8: and use that as a theme for an NWA pay

1092
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:56,439
Speaker 8: per view.

1093
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,960

1103
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 7: an album and I actually for the first time probably

1104
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,879
Speaker 7: ever in my musical career because Billy has always said

1105
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 7: I can help you. You know you want to hear

1106
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 7: I'll help you, like just send me. And I'm always

1107
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 7: I was always apprehensive because I go. I feel like,

1108
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 7: just like with wrestling, a lot of people ask me

1109
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 7: wrestling questions, you know, who are trying to get in

1110
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,240
Speaker 7: the business or whatever, and I'm like, I never wanted

1111
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 7: Billy because Billy is my friend. He's like, legit, my friend,

1112
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 7: come over the house, have dinner. I have to we

1113
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 7: have to find vegan stuff. Because he's a vegan, you know,

1114
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,280
Speaker 7: So I'm like, try, well, how do I cook vegan?

1115
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 7: Figure that out? But he's been over the house so

1116
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 7: many times, and he's been and I've known Billy since

1117
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 7: I first walked into TNA at the time.

1118
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 2: Good old TNA.

1119
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 6: Yes, for that Lingerie Battle Royal very first.

1120
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 7: Yes. So I've known Billy since then and have seen

1121
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 7: him throughout my careers and just had so many conversations.

1122
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 7: But I'm like, I never wanted to have the awkward converence.

1123
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 7: I was so nervous to ask him about music because

1124
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 7: he's a genius. Oh yeah, he is literally a genius

1125
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 7: when it comes to music, and I feel like I'm like, well,

1126
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 7: I don't want him to think that I'm like just

1127
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 7: I just want to talk to him about that, or

1128
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 7: like I'm whatever. But he actually had a lot of

1129
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 7: input and advice about the Grown Ass Woman song, And

1130
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 7: that was the first song I'd ever asked him for

1131
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 7: his opinion, like to get some feedback on because I

1132
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 7: felt like that song was a powerful song and I

1133
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:49,879
Speaker 7: felt like, regardless of who's sang it, like it had

1134
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 7: potential to do some really cool things. Yeah, for sure,

1135
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 7: So he did help me out with that one a

1136
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 7: bit with you know, you know, going into the studio

1137
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 7: and stuff like that. But yeah, but I have been

1138
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 7: working on an album and this one is going to

1139
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 7: be because you know, my last two full albums were

1140
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 7: both one I put out. My first one I put

1141
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 7: out by myself, but it was I think two or

1142
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 7: three of the songs I wrote on it. In the

1143
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 7: second one, I was with E one Music Nashville, and

1144
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,399
Speaker 7: two are the three songs that I wrote on it.

1145
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 7: And we've done a bunch a single since then, or

1146
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 7: I have. But my next album is going to be

1147
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 7: all original stuff, all stuff that I wrote on. So

1148
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 7: that's what I've been working on.

1149
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 4: Super excited about to hear that. So hopefully we can

1150

1166
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:15,319

Speaker 2: you guys are just launching that so.

1168
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 6: Uh see unbelievable.

1169
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 5: So many things happened, yes, and good things happen after

1170
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 5: you come on this show, because everybody that's been on

1171
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 5: the show has gone on to win the title. So expecting,

1172
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 5: we're expecting when Deanna decides to say, you know what,

1173
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 5: I'll put my title online because we know that her

1174
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 5: ego is going to do that, You're gonna wad.

1175
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 7: You don't think she's gonna be able to resist because

1176
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 7: I secretly think that you know, she attacked me from

1177
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 7: behind with a hood or whatever, but I think that

1178
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 7: she's little bit scared of me.

1179
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 8: I think ultimately she's driven not only by ego but

1180
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 8: also legacy, and I think if she does not have

1181
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 8: a title match with you, I think it'll.

1182
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 6: Because she wants to retire legends. She's into that. Huh yeah,

1183
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 6: Jesus wow.

1184
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 2: Randy Orton two points. So I wanted to get rid

1185
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 2: of it.

1186
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,719
