Oh wait, this is recording to the 36 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 3: camera microphone, so I switched it over to the professional microphone. 37 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 3: Please forgive me and do not hate me for that.

I've got somebody on the show 53 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 3: with us today and she kind of terrifies me a 54 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 3: little bit because well, I mean, there's a lot of 55 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 3: going around, but let's welcome in Rosemary the Demon Assassin. 56 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: It's because you've got good survival instincts. Child, it is. 57 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 3: I think that that's because it's my name is Battle, 58 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 3: So I think that I feel as if I have 59 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 3: a little bit of survival instincts somewhat. I'm not the fastest, 60 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 3: so if you put me in a scary movie, I'm 61 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 3: probably the first one to die. 62 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: I don't have to run the monster, just outrun the 63 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: slower person. 64 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 3: I could break their legs. I've got to speak that 65 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 3: up there. I'll break their legs and then I'll just 66 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 3: be able to win. 67 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: So exactly, just sacrifice. It's fine. 68 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 4: It is. 69 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 3: And there's a big match that you've got going on 70 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 3: Saturday against Havoc, which we'll talk about that later on, 71 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 3: but you know, most of us here in the human 72 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 3: realm had a little option during the COVID pandemic. You 73 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 3: have countless realms at your disposal. What was the biggest 74 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 3: challenge for you in the human realm during this pandemic. 75 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: It was so annoying that we couldn't go and do 76 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: what we wanted to do when we could just glitch 77 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: in and out of any realm in existence normally. Obviously 78 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: here it doesn't affect us much, but it affected our 79 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: human counterparts that we were trying to associate with at 80 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: the time when this part pandemic first struck, we were 81 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: allied with Tie, a valkyrie, and she couldn't even come 82 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: to Impact. We had nothing to do. We didn't It 83 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: was so boring, right, honestly, a disease riddled meat sacks. 84 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 3: And that's the tough thing about this. But it seems 85 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 3: like the light is at the end of the tunnel. 86 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 3: Things are starting to get back to normal. Impact is 87 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,679 Speaker 3: going to have fans at Slammiversary, which we're super excited about. 88 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 3: But like you know, you're able to glitch in and out, 89 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 3: so you didn't have to really deal too much with 90 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 3: all the craft that we had to do with, but we. 91 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 4: Did get a lot done actually well, while all of 92 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 4: you were stuck inside, we went about moving the pieces 93 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 4: around the board and making sure we were prepared for 94 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 4: exactly this moment when the high things were allowed to 95 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 4: return to us. 96 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: And it was a great thing. And you're back in 97 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 3: Slam and Impact Wrestling, and so here's the thing is, 98 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 3: you've got a big match at Slammiversary Current Impact against 99 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 3: all odds. You've got that big match if you were 100 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 3: able to conquer Havoc, Which is an interesting thing because 101 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 3: it was added in the stipulation that if Havoc wins, 102 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 3: she'll be added to the Knockout's title match and against 103 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 3: a Lodds, So you've got to match against her if 104 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 3: that happens. Are you okay with this being a triple 105 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 3: threat match? 106 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: There are pros and cons to both, of course, when 107 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: the opportunity was presented to us, the fact that in 108 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: it sort of landed in our lap that we got 109 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: to have a challenge for Diona Pirazzo's Knockouts Championship because 110 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: we pinned her in a multiman match, and she does 111 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: not get pinned very often, whether it's blindsided or not so. 112 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,559 Speaker 1: Impact Management saw fit to make us the next number 113 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: one contender. Now we detected a. 114 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 5: Note of green eyed envy in our compatriot Havoc, who 115 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 5: we have been trying to tempt into decay and stop 116 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 5: playing around with humans. 117 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: We did it. We understand it's very it's a very 118 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: easy road to get lost down. But they're not trustworthy, Havoc. 119 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: You are not human, no matter how much you've pretending it. 120 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: You hail from the undead wasteland. Come home to us, 121 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: help us expand de Kay, help us protect the battlefield 122 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: and serve the Shadow the way we're meant to be. 123 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: And honestly, this sort of sibling rivalry that we have 124 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: with each other. You want a piece of what the 125 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: Demon has. You want in on this knockouts Championship match 126 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: it against all odds. We adore you, Havoc, but you 127 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: will have to take it from our cold dead hands. 128 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: The Demon Assassin does not give anything for free. You 129 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: either have to win it or make a deal. 130 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 3: This is some exciting stuff because I mean it's gonna 131 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 3: be I mean, you and Hac have a lot of 132 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 3: history together and this is not gonna be another little, 133 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 3: just kind of paragraph. In the chapter of Avoc and Rosemary. 134 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 3: This is going to be an all out, for a 135 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 3: lack of better words of my name, an all out 136 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 3: battle on Impact this week. 137 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: We're not holding anything back on this one. And the 138 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: fact that the match with Havoc takes place on Thursday 139 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: in preparation for the title match on Saturday, that's not 140 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: a lot of time to prepare, and Havoc is capable 141 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: of dealing out immense amounts of damage. Oh yeah, So 142 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: this is a match that we want to end quickly 143 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: and concisely and not let her get her hands on 144 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: us too often because she will leave us battered and 145 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: broken for Saturday if she can. 146 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 3: So we're hoping for a five minute match then on 147 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 3: on Impact this week on Thursday Night right, idea, Maybe 148 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 3: maybe just take a quick little boom in and out one, two, 149 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 3: three and you're good. And we talked about the Lightning 150 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 3: What are what are your thoughts on Deanna as the 151 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 3: defending Impact Women's World Champion. 152 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: Genius tactical genius. We give credit where credit is due, 153 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: and she has beat us once and it did come 154 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: with a little assistance at ringside, but we certainly can't 155 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: falter for that We've been known to utilize our allies 156 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: as well. However, that won't work on second time. On 157 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: the Demon Assassin. Know we picked up her strategies. We've 158 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: had a chance to see exactly what she's all about 159 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: in the ring, and she did come up the victor. 160 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: But now we know she's got minions, she's got a 161 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: vast arsenal and a lot of it being submissions. She's 162 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: going to go for that arm bar and we say, 163 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: go ahead and take it. Rip our arm off. We're 164 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: not going to submit. We're not going to stop this time. 165 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: And unless you have an entire army at ringside trying 166 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: to prevent us from getting this win, which we would prefer, 167 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: not right, we will take it. We'll take any fight 168 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: that comes to us, if have it gets added to 169 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: that match, so be it that way. You well, Dianna 170 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: doesn't even have to get pinned or submitted to win 171 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: the championship. So there is a little loophole. 172 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 3: There, but it plays in your face. 173 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: It does. We do like a little mischief, but we 174 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: would much rather prefer meet her one on one hand 175 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: to hand. As warriors on the battlefield leave the minions 176 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: in the back. The boys have their own thing to 177 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: worry about on Saturday anyway, with the Impact Tag Team Championships, 178 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: and we face each other and see who truly is 179 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: the better conqueror. 180 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 3: And you know a lot of people that have been 181 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 3: on this show have gone on to win some sort 182 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: of gold after they've been on the show. So I'm 183 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 3: thinking that the boys get the tag team titles, you 184 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 3: get the Women's Impact World Championship, and we all live 185 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 3: happily ever after in this human world, I guess maybe. 186 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: And then Decay rolls into slam Aiversary with the hivelings 187 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: returned to the building and to show our dominance in 188 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 1: all the gold and all things have come to Decay, which. 189 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 3: Is going to be exciting to see fans in the 190 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 3: building come Slammiversary. And you know, there's a lot of 191 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 3: companies starting to put on a women's only pay per view, 192 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 3: which is an amazing thing something Impact has done since 193 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 3: two thousand. Team, what do you think the Impact Women's 194 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 3: division continues to be, uh one of the best female 195 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 3: rosters on the planet. What are your thoughts on that this. 196 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: Is the place where women want to come and prove 197 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: themselves and it has been since the inception of the 198 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: Knockouts Division. There was such a wide variety of different competitors. 199 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: You had Angelina Love, you had Gail Kim, you had 200 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: Awesome Kong, you had Hamada, Roxy Leveaux, the Voodoo Queen, 201 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: so many different shapes and sizes and backgrounds, and everybody 202 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: looked different and there was there was such an excitement 203 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: about the Knockouts Division because any warrior could be a 204 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: knockout and anyone and it didn't you didn't have to 205 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: fit some sort of mode. You just had to uh 206 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: to come and and and want to fight and want 207 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: to prove yourself and always and always uh get better 208 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: and excel at battle. And that was very tempting, very 209 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: exciting for a lot of female competitors, and it just 210 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: has kept going along those lines. We in twenty sixteen 211 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: we dug our heels in and made our home our 212 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: base of operations, the Impact Drum for a reason, and 213 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: it's because the top tier competition keeps coming here do 214 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: our doorstep to challenge us, and we never ever turned 215 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: down the challenge of battle, and it keeps being refreshed. 216 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: We've seen since we first got here, or we've only 217 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: one left from that era. We think so Gail is 218 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: still around, but not active competition. Alicia Edwards came soon after. 219 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: Let's see who else Havoc was there before and has 220 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: returned these songs, the Kiera Hogan, Tasha Steeles, Jordan Grece, Jazz. Yes, exactly, 221 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: there's something that you can't deny about the Knockouts Division 222 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: and that it attracts greatness and it attracts top tier 223 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: level competition, and honestly, why would we ever want to 224 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: leave when they keep coming to us? 225 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 3: And you know, it's kind of an interesting thing. And 226 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 3: we talked about this before we started to get into 227 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 3: the room. You know, you've got Slammer Versary coming up, 228 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 3: and I was lucky enough to be the voice of 229 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 3: that promo. So if you want to go watch it, 230 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 3: definitely go do that. And Slammer Groseries is amazing stuff. 231 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 3: Fans are gonna be back. But there's some little hidden 232 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 3: Easter eggs in there. You had Chelsea Green was there, 233 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 3: you had the iconics were there. With the recent news 234 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 3: about Ruby Riot, there's so many great female athletes out 235 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 3: there that are gonna be able to, you know, bring 236 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 3: their talents to impact, which kind of leads me into 237 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 3: my next question is is there someone that you have 238 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 3: never faced that you would love to compete against in 239 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 3: an Impact ring, all of. 240 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: Them, all of them. Anyone who wants to come challenge 241 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: us is more than welcome. We try not to play 242 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: favorite humans do seem to get so very touchy when 243 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: it comes to who gets left out of conversations everyone. 244 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 3: Everybody does get marked out for certain people. I get, 245 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 3: I'm a fan, so there's certain times where I'm like, oh, 246 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 3: I'd love to see that person. 247 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: So I mean, and if you don't say someone's staying 248 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: with the like, oh well you do. 249 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, then you get the hate tweets and the IWC 250 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 3: comes after you on social media, and yeah, it's just 251 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 3: not fun. 252 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: Honestly, it's just so much drama. Why is all this 253 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: drama when you could just have battle and pure war 254 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: in front of you and it's so much more exciting. 255 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: All of those names you mentioned bring something different if 256 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: they were all to come to the Knockout Division. Chelsea Green, 257 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: what we knew her was Laurel van Ness, the mad 258 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: Bride or the hot Mess exuppress, whichever version you wanted, 259 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: but we do have unsettled business with her. And then 260 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: the Iconics to enter Impact a place that has a 261 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: newtly revived and rejuvenated Knockouts Tag Team Championship, and to 262 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: have a seasoned tag team coming in that one that 263 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: has often overlooked and underappreciated, and to be able to 264 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: come in and prove themselves in a place where just 265 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: the competition speaks for itself, to show if you are 266 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: what you would talk about, then come in and prove it. 267 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: The Iconics, yes, the Iconics would be perfect for that. 268 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: To add into more tag teams and then Ruby Riots 269 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: or as we knew her, Heidi Lovely really never got 270 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: the chance to prove what she was about, and we 271 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: saw glimpses of that black when we used to do 272 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: Shimmer at the same time that she was there. She 273 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: is an unparalleled athlete and somebody who the fans find 274 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: it very organic and very easy to get behind. She 275 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: has this this this aura about her that that brings 276 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: about so much energy into the match. We've never had 277 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: the opportunity to face her one on one, and we 278 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: would love to rectify that. 279 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 3: I think let's put that out in the human universe 280 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 3: and every other realm that you've got. Let's have Rosemary 281 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 3: versus Ruby, and maybe just maybe we could see Rosemary 282 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 3: and Ruby go after those knockout tag titles if it 283 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 3: ever comes down to you know, her coming into Impact, 284 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 3: because the thing is is like you look at Impacts 285 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 3: roster from top to bottom. It is stacked, and I 286 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 3: would put Impact roster up against anybody else's roster. And 287 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 3: you know, as as being a t and a Impact 288 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 3: fan since day one, every Wednesday night, I was at 289 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 3: the fairgrounds watching it, and it's amazing to see how 290 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 3: things have gone from Wednesday nights to how everything has 291 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 3: happened over the years to now. It is absolutely amazing 292 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 3: to see where Impact is currently in this state of wrestling. 293 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 3: And you know, something we like to ask a lot 294 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 3: of people is like where do you see yourself after wrestling? 295 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 3: What realm do you want to retire in? Do you 296 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 3: think you'll impart some of your knowledge across the multiple 297 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 3: realms to new students. 298 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: It's a possibility, of course, we would have to teach 299 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: humans a lot more patience and listening skills first before 300 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: we don't have our knowledge. A good general, of course, 301 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: trains their troops and trains the next generation of soldiers 302 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: to because you don't you don't just want cannon well, 303 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: you sometimes want cannon fadder, but that's what zombies are for. Yes, 304 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: just just let them take the brunt of the of 305 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: the efforts. But no, you definitely want to keep the 306 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: the battlefield and the the landscape fresh for when you leave. 307 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: If if we were to to one day finish up, 308 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: have our last battle, be done with it, and retire 309 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: to the throne of the Undad Realm and rule over 310 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: all of its denizens as their queen as we are 311 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: destined to be, there needs to be someone put in 312 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: place to take to take your spot as the general, 313 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: as as the sergeants, as whoever is meant to take control. 314 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: If we were to just leave and not in part 315 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: that sort of knowledge, and then the armies just fall 316 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 1: apart and then all of a sudden, Impact is not 317 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: the place for elevated competition anymore, Absolutely not. It's something 318 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: to leave.
