I mean, they were still doing shows, 92 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 3: they were still keeping you guys on the roster. Nobody 93 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,679 Speaker 3: was getting let go. What was the most challenging part 94 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 3: of last year and what was your response to the 95 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 3: plan ROH had for its employees. 96 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,799 Speaker 1: I think when we first heard about it, I actually 97 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: have a video on my YouTube channel just so embarrassing. 98 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: But when we were in Vegas for our pay per 99 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: view out there when that happened, and this was like 100 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: when everything was just starting to come out. We didn't 101 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: know if it was this serious or if it was 102 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: just like a little flu thing or what was on. 103 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: And then when we got home, it's like the world 104 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: just completely shut down, and we're like, Okay, this is real. 105 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: This is really weird. And then what became even more weird, 106 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: like you just said, over time, was like major companies 107 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: were just dropping t talent, Like they were just dropping talent, 108 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: and people were getting laid off and losing their jobs everywhere, 109 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: not just not just wrestling obviously, but like it was 110 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: a big shock and we were extremely lucky and fortunate that, 111 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: you know, we have rh family to look after us, 112 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: and they really took care of us. And I mean 113 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: we didn't work, we didn't work at all, and they 114 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: still paid us and they still took care of us. 115 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: And that meant a lot, because you know, there's a 116 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: lot of families that have to put food on the table, so. 117 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 4: Right, especially considering you know, they don't have the budget 118 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 4: that right, you know, so that that that really says 119 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 4: a lot about their character. And everyone we've talked to 120 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 4: Mike been at PCO Briscos, I mean everyone has just 121 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 4: sung the praises of Ring of honor and management. So 122 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 4: it was really awesome to see. So definitely, so this 123 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 4: summer there will be a newly crowned Ring of Honor 124 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 4: Women's Champion. 125 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 2: I can tell you who's gonna win. We're calling it. 126 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: You invited me here because I'm gonna win. It's okay. 127 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, we do have a good track record of people 128 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 3: going on to win stuff after the show. 129 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 4: So that's true. I just lost my train of thought. Okay, 130 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 4: the allure will be make the presence known in the tournament. 131 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 4: What do you think is the biggest challenge for you 132 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 4: heading into this historic tournament? And then you know, well 133 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 4: we'll just we'll start there. 134 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: I don't think there is a challenge for me, honestly. 135 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: I was in the first tournament and kind of got 136 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: screwed over in that one, and that was a big 137 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: disappointment and being let down. And I think over time 138 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: who I am in professional wrestling has changed a lot. 139 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: And my biggest thing when I came back at Mess 140 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: and Square Garden was I'm not the good girl anymore. 141 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 2: I'm not. 142 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: I've been everyone's stepping stone. People have used me to 143 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: get ahead. I've been the nice one that forgives and 144 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: forgets like it's not me anymore. 145 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 4: So those underestimated Yeah, for sure. 146 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: And it's like I've always been a company girl, and 147 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: now going into this tournament, it's like, doesn't matter who 148 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: you put in front of me. Obviously I'm gonna be 149 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: in this tournament and this time I'm gonna win because 150 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: there is no other option. There's no other person who 151 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: can do it. 152 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 5: Better, right, no arguments here, So you know there's there's 153 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 5: somebody else that's also involved in this tournament. 154 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: And you know your partner, Angelina loves She's going to 155 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 3: be in there knowing you guys could face each other 156 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 3: at some point, how difficult is that? 157 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: You know? For me, I see it as a positive 158 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, if we do 159 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: face each other, and if it's in the finals or something, 160 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: you never know what can happen. One of us are 161 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: going to bring the gold home, right, like we had 162 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: the agreement, Like, if she wins, it's great, the gold 163 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: is coming back to the Allure. If I win, great 164 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: because the Allure gets the gold again. Like, so regardless 165 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: of what happens or who faces who, we know that 166 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: the endgame is to have the championship back in our group. 167 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 3: So but here's the thing though, Let's let's hypothetically throw 168 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 3: this out there. 169 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: Let's say it. 170 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 3: Comes down to Mandy and Angelina, who's walking out winner. 171 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: You're trying to put me in a situation here, that's 172 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: the whole plan.

And you know, you 217 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: want the handshakes and the pure wrestling, but wrestling's everything 218 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: to us.

Like, 404 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: I don't know if he was inspired by that or what. 405 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: I don't even remember the character's name.

I guess he's another one that's kind of 409 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: underestimated as far as Oh, you want to focus on 410 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: pure wrestling, the physicality in the ring, and if you 411 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: if you've seen his match recently versus Rerit Titus on 412 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: Week by Week on the Ring of on our YouTube channel, 413 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: he can go yeah. But what makes him so special 414 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: and relatable with is his character and who he is 415 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: and kids love him and a lot of times in wrestling, 416 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: especially nowadays, I find that people forget that there's a 417 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: lot of adult wrestling fans now more than ever, companies 418 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 1: forget about the kids, and like, I don't know. 419 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean when I was growing up, the parents 420 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 4: were there because the kids were there. But now that 421 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 4: I'm an adult, like adults just go to go, you. 422 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 2: Know, yeah, yeah, we also have adult money to buy stuff. 423 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. 424 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 4: But Dan Housen would come to Nashville on the indies 425 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 4: and he had he'd started going by Dan Housen and 426 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,479 Speaker 4: he had the makeup, but he didn't he didn't have 427 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 4: the character yet. And so just to see that kind 428 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 4: of blossom, and like you said, he took what he 429 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 4: loved and he kind of made his own thing. He 430 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 4: was just on the Conan O'Brien podcast. I mean, he's 431 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 4: he's doing something right, right, Yeah, And I think Ring 432 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 4: of Honors is a perfect platform for him because I 433 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 4: think if he went to Stanford, they would mess it up. 434 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 4: And you know, I think if you went to Jacksonville, 435 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 4: he would just job for Moxley or something. So I 436 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 4: think like Ring of Honor, like that's the perfect place 437 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 4: for him. 438 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: So and like that's the awesome thing about Ring of Hons. 439 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 1: We've always had a creative freedom always. There's always always 440 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: no one's ever been pressured to do something or to 441 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: take something away, Like we let people be them and 442 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: we just build from that, and it's always creating excellence 443 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: thing where we just kind of let everybody have their freedom. 444 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: And I just can't imagine going somewhere and someone telling 445 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: me to do something.
