Speaker 1: And today we are discussing the recent releases of women

30
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: WWE talent. Last year around this time, right at the

31
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: beginning of the pandemic, fans call that day Black Wednesday,

32
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: when a list of talent was released from the company,

33
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: which among those I went back and looked earlier were Serena,

34
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: deeb and Ta Conti, which I if you asked me

35
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: who they were last year, I would have had no idea.

36
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: But we see them soaring at aw so hopefully that's

37
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: a good sign of things to come, question Mark, I

38
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: don't know. Fast forward to April fifteenth, twenty twenty one,

39
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: and Twitter blew up with the news of the recent

40
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: WWE releases following WrestleMania thirty seven, and among those names

41
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: were Billy Kay and Peyton Royce formerly of the Iconics,

42
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: Chelsea Green and WWE legend Mickey James. Now, how did

43
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: y'all feel when you first saw the news break last week?

44
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: And I will say I saw rest friends break the

45
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: news about Billy Kay, and that's what got my eye.

46
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 5: Can I just say, like when I first saw the tweet,

47
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 5: there was bare Lenny reetweets on it, bare Leanny likes,

48
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 5: so I definitely thought I was getting bamboozled, right, So

49
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 5: what I did was I screenshot it and I sent

50
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 5: it to Aridian and our friend Ella, and I was like,

51
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 5: what the hell? Like, I was so confused, right, And

52
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 5: I got bamboozled like two weeks ago by a fake

53
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 5: WWE account, So I was like on Edge, I'm like,

54
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 5: is this real? And then I went back to Verify

55
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 5: and it was real, and I was like.

56
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 2: What the hell is going on?

57
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I I'll raise your hand if you've ever been

58
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: personally victimized by WWE releasing your favorite talent. I was

59
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 3: definitely offended. And I took Billy k like her release

60
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: personally because I feel like I just connected to her

61
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: more on the roster than a lot of you know,

62
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 3: women who are currently there. And when they announced Billy,

63
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: they were like, Okay, well it's not just gonna be Billy,

64
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: it's also Peyton, so you're not going to get the

65
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: iconics back in WWE.

66
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: I was devastated.

67
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know we've been doing I'll never hear that

68
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: song again, oh fem Fatale, and it's so good. And

69
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: I know we've talked about the iconics getting back together

70
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: and if WW is just squashing our dreams, they really are.

71
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. What It was a very emotional day.

72
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: And I remember Ella, she did an Instagram live and

73
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: she was talking about it, and I really thought I

74
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: was on the edge of I was tearing up, and

75
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: I know how much she loves Mickey James. So man,

76
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: what big news. Oh my gosh. I do have some

77
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: information that I saw released today from cage side seats,

78
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: So this is a whole quote. Dave Meltzer seemed to

79
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: indicate on Wrestling Observer Radio that some of the recent

80
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: ww releases may have been due to some of the

81
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: wrestlers complaining about their booking. He also claimed that w

82
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: w's mentality on a w shifted when Dynamite did such

83
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: a high viewership for its first unopposed show. Fightful select

84
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: says there were plans in plays for a women's faction

85
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: involving Chelsea Green, Vanessa Bourne in Santana Garrett, but it

86
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: was ultimately mixed, and according to the Observer, Mickey James

87
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: tried out as a TV announcer for WWE before her release.

88
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: Now all these superstars have ninety day non compete clause

89
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: in their contracts, won't be able to join any other promotions. Slaughter,

90
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: July fourteenth, twenty twenty one.

91
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 5: So what do y'all think Kaylen with the lowdown, with

92
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 5: the load.

93
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: With the t girl you know, always have the tea,

94
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: what do y'all think sparked this? Like we know last

95
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: year when it happened, it was the beginning of the pandemic.

96
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: Budget cuts were happening because there were no fans. What

97
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: do y'all think Dutt did this?

98
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

99
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 3: You know, some people on Twitter have brought up the

100
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 3: fact that a lot of superstars have requested their release

101
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 3: and that's that hasn't been granted. But then you know,

102
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: W to B just released all of these people, So it's.

103
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 2: Just it's not adding up. It doesn't make any sense.

104
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 3: And for Mickey James to have tried out for commentary

105
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 3: and them just said no, Like, we have Beth Phoenix

106
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: doing a great job on an XT, so I feel

107
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 3: like they just didn't know what to do with her.

108
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 3: And that's what they said about Billy K two that

109
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 3: the Like executive Like TV director Kevin Dunn said that

110
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: she had a feeling and that he didn't really get

111
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 3: her character, which is makes no sense because Billy k

112
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 3: was so entertaining and she wasn't even wrestling right.

113
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's interesting.

114
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 5: A lot of these superstars that got released, it's specifically

115
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 5: the women's town, like Mickey James and Billy they were

116
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 5: just involved in WrestleMania or WrestleMania Weekend. Mickey James did

117
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 5: the takeover pre show, she was on commentary. I don't

118
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 5: know if that was her audition or what that. I

119
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 5: would be curious to know if that was actually her audition.

120
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 5: Then you have Billy Kay who competed in the first

121
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 5: night of WrestleMania. It's crazy, like to think about how

122
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,559
Speaker 5: you know, these people were involved not even a week ago,

123
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 5: and now they don't have a job. I think it's

124
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 5: interesting though that you know Billy Kay and you know

125
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 5: Peyton Royce, they were an a tag team they got released.

126
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 5: It almost makes me wonder did they want to get

127
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 5: back together and WWE wasn't going for it and they

128
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 5: were like, well, We're getting the hell out of here.

129
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 5: And then you have Chelsea Green and Mickey James who

130
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 5: have been going back and forth Doune Twitter, seeming like

131
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 5: they were going to become a tag team and they

132
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 5: got released. So I'm wondering if the whole tag team

133
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 5: faction or similarity between these two or four women, I

134
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 5: should say, was the reason why they got released. I mean,

135
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 5: I don't know. I think I think it's a it's

136
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 5: a mess, like it's sad. Mickey James came back to

137
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 5: WWE a couple of years ago. It was amazing to

138
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 5: see her back. She went up against Oscar and NXT

139
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 5: and we really thought that she was going to have

140
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 5: a strong run and WWE just unfortunately didn't know how

141
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 5: to utilize her. She's a legend, just like you know, Tristratus,

142
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 5: Lita Jazz, and she's not looked at or treated like such.

143
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 5: You know, she was in that storyline where they were

144
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 5: talking about her age, which I saw that might have

145
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 5: been a cause. I was reading something earlier today where

146
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 5: people were saying that her age might have been a

147
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 5: factor into why she was released Undertakers Old and he

148
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 5: was wrestling forever.

149
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: Yes, I saw. I also saw that they said her

150
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: not being used and her age made her a prime

151
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: target to be cut, and that does offend me, like

152
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: that's very inappropriate. It seems like, just like you said,

153
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: the undertaker old Bill Goldberg. Yes, and they keep Uncle Bill,

154
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: your grandpa Bill, what do we call it, Grandpa Bill.

155
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: I did see online people speculating that budget cuts happen

156
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: from a business standpoint in order to get rid of

157
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: some contracts before taxes are due to make numbers look

158
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: good for investors.

159
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: That's a lot.

160
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: When they were talking about the budget cuts that needed

161
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 3: to be made. You guys had just literally had so

162
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: many new subscribers because he got of the WW network,

163
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 3: so we all had to pay for Peacock. You can't

164
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 3: tell me that these, you know, cuts had to be

165
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 3: made and it was only ten people too. I feel

166
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: like if they wanted to really save money, they would

167
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: have got rid of so much more talent, right, and

168
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: these endorsements. WrestleMania was sponsored by Snickers. You can't tell

169
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 3: me that they didn't put money either.

170
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. I mean they're already raking in the bucks.

171
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you get rid of ten superstars. I don't

172
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: know how much money that would be, but it's just

173
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: probably minuscule on the big picture.

174
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 3: And who had WrestleMania meet and greets Low and I

175
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 3: paid for them, so it's just more money in their pocket.

176
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 2: We got jipped. Let's just talk about the.

177
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 5: I mean, on the note of like meet and greets,

178
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 5: Like I think meet and greets are an extremely great opportunity. Like,

179
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 5: don't get me wrong, it's amazing to meet your favorite superstars.

180
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 5: But you're charging one hundred and twenty five dollars one

181
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 5: hundred and seventy five dollars for a two minute meet

182
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 5: and greet, Like money does not grow on trees. Vin's man,

183
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 5: I don't know about where you live, but I know

184
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 5: money does not grow on trees here. Like, and you

185
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 5: think about, you know, all these superstars raked in that money.

186
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 5: And fortunately, you know, the superstars that did have those

187
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 5: meet and greets, they weren't released. But you know, I'm

188
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 5: sure a lot of people would have wanted to meet

189
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 5: Billy Kay. She was so popular on SmackDown. And you know,

190
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 5: I think about what if she would have had meet

191
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 5: and greet and charged you know, one hundred and twenty

192
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 5: five dollars, one hundred and seventy five dollars in the

193
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 5: release next week, people would be fuming.

194
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: I bet it would have been popular too, because she's

195
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: just so She's so funny and hurt. Her charisma is

196
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: just infectious. But let's start with talking about Chelsea Green.

197
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: Chelsea Green, she's been around. She's been wrestling since about

198
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, but she was part of nxteen and twenty eighteen.

199
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: Have y'all gotten to listen to the Fightful interview that

200
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: she did and that dropped yesterday by chance? It's the

201
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: only interview she's done since all this happened.

202
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 5: I watched a snippet of it.

203
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really good. It's an hour long. But

204
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: apparently she was very shocked to be let go, and

205
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: she apparently had heard a rumor that they're going to

206
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: be cutting wrestlers, and she's very glad that she heard

207
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: the rumor because when she got the phone call, she

208
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: would assume it was going to be her debut, which

209
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: she'd yeah. So she's like, I'm glad I heard the rumor,

210
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: otherwise I would have been very let down. But she did.

211
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: I can't remember if it was aired or not. I

212
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: don't think it was. But she wrestled to Mina and

213
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: broke her wrist not too long ago, and she thinks

214
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: that's where it all ended for her, because she's broken

215
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: her wrist before, but she had already been off TV,

216
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: but she was just very shocked and it was always

217
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: her goal to be on Raw or smack Down. I

218
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: thought this was very interesting. So she you know, she wrestles,

219
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: but she also loves to like act, and so that's

220
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: why she wanted to be on Raw or SmackDown to

221
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,479
Speaker 1: be able to showcase those talents. Whereas she said NXT

222
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: was more about the wrestling, which I could totally see that,

223
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 1: because you know NXT, the wrestling is awesome, but her

224
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: fiance is a part of a w and her one

225
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: of her best friends, Britt Baker d m D, is

226
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: also there. So do y'all see her moving AW soon?

227
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 3: Oh? Man, you know what, I'm thinking, a lot of

228
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 3: people that just got released are gonna be to eight,

229
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 3: are gonna go to AW And like, I know, it's

230
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: like the cliche thing to say because they're like the

231
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 3: number one rival right now for WW, but you know

232
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 3: her best friend is over there, and same thing with

233
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 3: Peyton Royce because her husband is on AW. And if

234
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: she's like, oh well, I'm gonna go where my husband wrestles,

235
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 3: and I might as well bring my best friend Billy Ka.

236
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 3: So I do feel like maybe there will be a

237
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: lot of aw debuts coming up. And I know Tony

238
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 3: Kahn got a lot of money to pay these wrestlers.

239
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 2: So Tony Kahan, if you're listening to make it, give

240
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: them their pay teck, yes.

241
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: Make it right. Yes. Peyton posted a picture of herself

242
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: in a Brodie Lee T shirt, so a lot of

243
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: fans are thinking that's the hint.

244
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:08,239
Speaker 2: Wait.

245
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: Yes, And if she and Billy went together, oh my gosh,

246
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: the fans would pop.

247
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: And if AEW is looking to start a women's tag division,

248
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 3: the Iconics, you could really base a division, a tag division,

249
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: you know, around them, because they had their their tag

250
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 3: team tournament a while back, and it wasn't really like

251
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 3: a tag team tournament. It was just Brandy and an

252
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 3: action figure. But this time around, I feel like it

253
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 3: could work out totally.

254
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: And I think if you put Chelsea Green and Britt

255
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: Baker together, or even with Rebel, the three of them

256
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: together would be an awesome faction.

257
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 2: It would.

258
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 5: You know. I would like to see Chelsea Green go

259
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 5: back to Impact. I think you know, she was very

260
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 5: strong there. I personally did not watch Impact at that time,

261
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 5: but you know, I saw pick Sure shared and stuff

262
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 5: like that. I think she needs to go back there,

263
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 5: that's where she was at her best. Yes, she would

264
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 5: be good in a w I think there's some room

265
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 5: for growth there. You know, she can incorporate the character

266
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 5: that she had and Impact. But I don't know. I

267
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 5: think she kind of needs to go back to where

268
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 5: she started on Impact. And I think a lot of

269
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 5: these ladies could really thrive on Impact. They're doing great

270
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 5: things with the women over there. I think, aw their

271
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 5: star try with the men's division, but I think as

272
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 5: dedicated and you know, motivated superstars that have been signed

273
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 5: to a WWE contract for however many years, division that's

274
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 5: already built to join, not one that you have to

275
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 5: literally build up yourself. So you know, these women like

276
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 5: Billy Kay and Peyton Royce who have literally moved their

277
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 5: entire lives over to the US to live their dream,

278
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 5: I don't I don't necessarily see them going over to

279
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 5: a DOES who helped them build their women's division. I

280
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 5: see them jumping into something that's already built and bringing

281
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 5: their talent there.

282
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Like and Deanna Praza, she was in XT and

283
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: she got released last year and went to Impact, right,

284
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: And I'll totally be about that since I'm in Nashville

285
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: and hopefully I can run into these ladies.

286
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: Oh girl, you're gonna be out there. I know.

287
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: I just imagined myself with a little fake mustache and

288
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: something sunglasses on.

289
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 3: We're going to give you a microphone so you can

290
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 3: just stand out.

291
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: Yes, please? Oh my gosh, Yes, are we smart?

292
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 3: I love that guy's partnership now with Impact. So he

293
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 3: didn't the Iconics go to Impact to take those titles

294
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 3: that are already established. They could very well show up

295
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 3: on a w because right now Rustling is cohesive and

296
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: like if you watch them, you know Kenny is on

297
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 3: AW and Impact right now.

298
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 1: So yes, I love that. I love the crossover story.

299
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

300
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: And like you said earlier about they didn't get Billy Kay,

301
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: that blows my mind, Like, how can you not see

302
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: this woman's talent?

303
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 5: I mean, this is the same man who was talking

304
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 5: about Becky Lynch's accent. Like you'll just admit that you

305
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 5: don't know what's going on anymore. I think, Yeah, I

306
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 5: think a lot of the issues that happen with WWE

307
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 5: is that they just don't understand their their demographic or

308
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 5: their main demographic. You have you know, eighteen to like

309
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,239
Speaker 5: thirty five to forty year olds who loved Billy Kay. Like,

310
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 5: if you're a sixty five year old Caucasian man, you

311
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 5: might not necessarily relate to an eighteen to thirty five

312
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 5: year old. I mean, it's that simple, like, and that's

313
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 5: fine that they don't relate. But I think as a

314
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 5: executive to a wrestling company, you need to have a

315
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 5: bright outlook and a positive outlook on these superstars that

316
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 5: are coming from all over the world to entertain these

317
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 5: fans and make you money. They're paying for your paycheck.

318
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Done.

319
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 5: You didn't get fired because Billy Kate has been making

320
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 5: that money for you, period.

321
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: Oh girl, yes, run and tell that. Especially social media.

322
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: You know, we're all on most you know, most everyone's

323
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: on Twitter, are looking at Twitter or whatever and just

324
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: you know, see what people are saying. I mean, the

325
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: Bianca and Sasha Banks main event sent Banks and sash

326
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: Sorry clack, oh my gosh, I cannot speak. It's late, y'all.

327
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: It's late here in Nashville. Anyways, it was it was

328
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: so exciting when they got to main event WrestleMania, and

329
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: you know, social media definitely had to play in that.

330
00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know, it's all just frustrating. And

331
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, so Mickey James, the legend Mickey James, who

332
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: has been around for so long. She tried out to

333
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: be an announcer during NXT's Takeover, Stand and Deliver kickoff show.

334
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: I didn't see that. Apparently that didn't pan out, and

335
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: apparently she's been very vocal about getting back in the ring.

336
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: And like Low said earlier, she had a thing going

337
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: on with Chelsea Green reminiscent you know of her angle

338
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: with Trish back in the day. So what happened there, Chelsea. Uh,

339
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: in the interview with Fightville, she touches on that subject,

340
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: not not too deep, but I guess it got squashed

341
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: early on and Chelsea Chelsea Green says that when they

342
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: have ideas, she runs with it, and she and Mickey

343
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: were spitballing back and forth ideas, but then all of

344
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: a sudden, the angle is just cut. And then that's

345
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: when the the faction came in with the three of

346
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: them that we're going to. Uh, let's see, that was

347
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: Chelsea Green, Vanessa born in Santana, Garrett and then that

348
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: was next. But they signed her for SmackDown and then

349
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: she gets the boot. Anyways, what we were saying about

350
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: Mickey earlier about her not being used in her age

351
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: made her a prime target to be cut. I don't know,

352
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't like that because she's such

353
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: a bit, she's a big personality, she's a legend. She

354
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: does have a singing career, so I'm wondering if she'll

355
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: pursue that more, well, she'd focus on her family or what.

356
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: What do y'all think it's gonna Mickey James is gonna

357
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: do next?

358
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 3: I was gonna think I had shade at Stephanie McMahon,

359
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 3: But Mickey James is younger than Stephanie McMahon.

360
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 2: Oh, And I'm not throwing shade. It's just a fact.

361
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 3: So I'm just saying, there's a lot of men who

362
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 3: are currently wrestling who are older than Mickey James.

363
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 2: So it's not making any sense to me.

364
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 3: The age thing of oh, well, maybe she's too old.

365
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: I am not buying it.

366
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 3: I think that they just said that like as a reason,

367
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 3: And you know what, it's because she's a woman.

368
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 2: Because they didn't let go of.

369
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 3: A lot of their popular talent who is older than her,

370
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 3: and Goldberg and Undertaker still keep having matches.

371
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: How old is brock Lesner.

372
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure he's old too, so I'm just leaving

373
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 3: it there.

374
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: You know.

375
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 5: The thing is that's interesting to me is that I

376
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 5: think about when I first started watching WWE, so put

377
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 5: then the timeframe of like two thousand and seven, two

378
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 5: thousand and eight, and I remember even back then looking

379
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 5: at you know, different websites, like as I got older,

380
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 5: and I remember, you know, looking at how old the

381
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 5: divas were and stuff like that, and the divas weren't

382
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 5: not over like thirty two or thirty three, like they

383
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 5: really always kept them under a certain age because of

384
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 5: you know, them aging and them not being them not

385
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 5: being quote unquote attractive after a certain age. I remember

386
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 5: reading that one time and I was like that, that's

387
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 5: so weird. And they had like older women in the division,

388
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 5: but there was no one that was like forty or

389
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 5: fifty in the ring, like the Undertaker or I mean,

390
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 5: Sean Michael's Triple Aged. Like you can go down the

391
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 5: list because there's just so many male talent that are

392
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 5: over a certain age that are still wrestling that should

393
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 5: have hung up the boots years ago. But I honestly

394
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 5: think that Mickey James could go anywhere. I think she

395
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 5: would be a top prospect for anyone. I've seen a

396
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 5: lot of people say that she might go to n

397
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 5: WA with her husband, Nick Alldos, which I think would

398
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 5: be very interesting to see. I mean, you have Molina there,

399
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 5: you have you have Camille, who I think is their

400
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 5: women's champion or their number one contender. I mean, there's

401
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 5: such fresh town there that could work with her, so

402
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 5: that might be interesting. Or you know Ring of Honor

403
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 5: they're bringing back their women's championship. Maria Kanellis, formerly of WWE,

404
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 5: made an announcement about a month ago that they were

405
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,719
Speaker 5: doing a women's tournament. Might see Mickey James there. So

406
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 5: I think it's unfortunate that WWE, if they did that

407
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 5: the whole age thing, that they would do that with

408
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 5: a woman. I think it's it's sexist, to be honest,

409
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 5: but I don't think Mickey James will have to worry

410
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 5: about a paycheck, to be honest with you, I.

411
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: Absolutely agree with that. And for the record, Brock is

412
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: forty three, Goldberg's fifty four, and Mickey's forty one. Yeah,

413
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: my god, she's so old, not so awful. I would

414
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: be really excited to see her in NWA. I think

415
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: that'd be really cool. But you know, WWE's loss, man,

416
00:23:54,720 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: big loss, and she did tweets that her plans were

417
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: to do what they doubted she would, so there'll be

418
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: more information on that coming. She's she's gonna do a

419
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: God TV episode on it, so be on the lookout

420
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: for that. And she's just a wonderful human being, so

421
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: wishing the best for her. So are we gonna keep

422
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: watching WWE? Y'all? I'm a little bitter right now, so

423
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm not jumping to watch it. Of course

424
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: I've seen some tweets earlier. But how are you guys feeling?

425
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: Are you feeling bitter about it? Are you feeling okay? Like,

426
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: what's what's the vibe?

427
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 3: So I watched SmackDown on Friday, and I felt bad

428
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 3: while I was watching it, right, but I still watched it,

429
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 3: and I'm like, man, I'm I can't believe I'm doing this.

430
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 3: I can't believe I'm supporting them after you know they

431
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 3: they did this. But I also kept watching the last

432
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 3: year around the same time when they released so many

433
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 3: people the same time before, So I'm just disappointed in myself.

434
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: No, don't be do we think We're gonna see more

435
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: releases here soon.

436
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 5: I read last week that they were going to release

437
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 5: NXT talent and that hasn't happened yet, so I mean,

438
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 5: we'll see. I personally, I watched a Stone Cold documentary

439
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 5: last night. I don't know if that counts as ww

440
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 5: programming since it wasn't like, actually, you know, real time,

441
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 5: but that was sensational. But I probably will keep watching WWE.

442
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 5: I mean, I think WWE goes on waves sometimes you're

443
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 5: really positive about the product. They have a lot going

444
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 5: for them, you know, I'm very excited about Bianca bell

445
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 5: are Is Mackdwen as champions, so obviously I'm very invested there.

446
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 5: But it's sad. It's sad that, you know, a lot

447
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 5: of talented people, men and women, lost their jobs and

448
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 5: these cuts. I just hope there's not anymore. I mean,

449
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 5: I know there's rumors that there will be, but it's

450
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 5: unfortunate it is.

451
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: And the way I think of it is, you know,

452
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: back in the day, WWE was like the end all

453
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: be all wrestling, Like that's where you wanted to get

454
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: to know you're successful, and I think that's no longer

455
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: the case today. There's so many other companies you can join,

456
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: et cetera, and opportunities. So I'm excited to see where

457
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: these ladies land.

458
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's no longer just vanilla ice cream. We're getting

459
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 3: multi homers out here. It's good to the ice cream

460
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 3: shop and get whatever you.

461
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: Get that little pigspooon. I love it. We wish the

462
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: best for everyone in their future endeavors and hope to

463
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: see them soon, especially after July fourteenth, when they can

464
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: jump into whatever they want to next, which I know

465
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: I saw Chelsea Green was thinking of starting a podcast possibly,

466
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: but she's also like our jobs.

467
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 2: I know, yes, I want to think that. I was

468
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 2: so offended. I said, girl, you are a good wrestler.

469
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 2: Keep wrestling. You don't need a pus.

470
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: She can just join us for a little while and

471
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: then she can get back to wrestling.

472
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, she can join one. She does not have to

473
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 3: start her own thing, but can battle now. Chelse agree, So, girl,

474
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: I was I was.

475
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: You better at her?

476
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: Say?

477
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 5: No?

478
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 2: Well at me back?

479
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: Yes? So any final thoughts on all of this or

480
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: do y'all feel like do you feel better about it?

481
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: Because I definitely feel better that we've talked about it now.

482
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like you know, I'm very sad that

483
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 3: like these women got let go, But at the same time,

484
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 3: a lot of them weren't being used on the roster.

485
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 3: They weren't having matches. Like Mickey James, we were not

486
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 3: seeing her weekly. Peyton Royce for a long time, we

487
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 3: were not seeing her either. So if these women got

488
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 3: released to go to a better place somewhere where they

489
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 3: will be used to be future champions at that, I'm excited.

490
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 2: So we just have to wait and see what happens.

491
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 5: What do you think, love, I want to insert here

492
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 5: the meme of kry b being like.

493
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: What was a reason?

494
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 2: What was that reason? Yes?

495
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 5: I mean, like Iridian said, I think a lot of

496
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 5: these women will go to other organizations where they'll be appreciated,

497
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 5: whether they you know, I've been in the business for

498
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 5: ten plus years or five, Like I mean, Mickey James

499
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 5: is such a hot free agent, and you have Billy

500
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 5: Kay and Chelsea Green and Peyton Royce, and I just

501
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 5: I think wherever they go, I think they'll do a

502
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 5: great job. I hope we get the Iconics back. I

503
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 5: think a lot of the fans would love to see that,

504
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 5: And who doesn't love a great tag team that actually

505
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 5: goes as a tag team exactly.

506
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: I do think this is a blessing in disguise too,

507
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: because since they're such hot free agents, I feel like

508
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: that kind of amplifies them in a way. I know

509
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: it seems weird, but I don't know. Excited to see

510
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: what everybody's gonna do. And much love and peace to

511
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 1: all of them. I wish I could see me. I'm

512
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: holding my hand up right now, like I'm sending the

513
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: peace out. It's like I'm in church right now. I

514
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: don't know, it just possessed me. But anyways, all the

515
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:50,600
