Speaker 2: on the show in over a year, and I missed them.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 2: Last season was just a different kind of season, but
Speaker 2: we're going back to guests. You are our first guest.
Speaker 2: I'm very glad you're here, and we have a common
Speaker 2: friend in the fantastic and wonderful mister Xavier Woods, who
Speaker 2: has prepped me with some questions that have been specially
Speaker 2: designed just for you. Yes, he is our king and
Speaker 2: you are a queen. By the way, we're dealing with royalty, Jeff,
Speaker 2: I forgot. Would you like to start her? Would you
Speaker 2: like me to?
Speaker 4: Well, I think my first question will roll into yours
Speaker 4: because the mutual friend is Xavier Woods, right, and so
Speaker 4: my first question is Zelena Vega if that is your
Speaker 4: real name. You love Mortal Kombat. I love Mortal Kombat.
Speaker 4: I would say Mortal Kombat is my Star Wars. I'm
Speaker 4: obsessed with it the way Star Wars fans love Star
Speaker 4: I love Mortal Komba. I know every nerdy little backstory.
Speaker 4: I follow all this stuff. I'm very very to it.
Speaker 4: Have you ever thought about bringing fatalities into wrestling into
Speaker 4: the ring?
Speaker 5: I mean there has been a few times I've thought
Speaker 5: about it, but I thought I don't want to get
Speaker 5: five it's so yeah.
Speaker 4: Fair enough, Okay, favorite Mortal Kombat character. That's an easy
Speaker 4: layup for you for the first question.
Speaker 5: Sindel is my absolute favorite. She's like my top top,
Speaker 5: but Jade is a close second.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I would have gone Jade before that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Sindel's also royalty. Sindel's also royalty, and she does
Speaker 4: the screaming, and she has purple and blonde hair like
Speaker 4: you have right now.
Speaker 2: So you see the only game that Jeff plays via well,
Speaker 2: I play baseball. My son is ten years old. When
Speaker 2: I was coming up, and I think I was in
Speaker 2: my early twenties, Cartoon Network debut Dragon Ball Z. It
Speaker 2: was my first sort of introduction to television versesions of
Speaker 2: anime I grew up on like manga and would rent
Speaker 2: things like Goulgo thirteen, The Professional Vampire Hunter d Those.
Speaker 3: Were like, oh my god, I love you.
Speaker 2: That's super super super old school. But with the new stuff,
Speaker 2: I'm not educated on it. I'm not hip to it.
Speaker 2: I have to watch everything before I allow my son
Speaker 2: to watch it to make sure it's somewhat appropriate. I
Speaker 2: don't care about language, but there's a lot of like
Speaker 2: sexy time stuff out there that he's ten and does
Speaker 2: not need to be involved with. What are your favorite
Speaker 2: animes right now? And what's your favorite anime of all
Speaker 2: time right now? Uh?
Speaker 5: Demon Slayer? Of course, I love Demon Slayer. I just
Speaker 5: got to ring book religious.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I see, like, I don't know I could show
Speaker 3: it to you, but I just got to rin Goku
Speaker 3: done on my leg.
Speaker 2: Did you real? Oh my god, my son would freak
Speaker 2: out right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So don't show Rocky. He's gonna want to get one.
Speaker 5: I'd let him, so Demon Slayer. I mean, I love
Speaker 5: older stuff like Inni Yasha. That's actually on the other
Speaker 5: side of that leg. Yasha's fun. But I think of
Speaker 5: all time, it's Naruto, and it just for so many reasons.
Speaker 5: I mean, Naruto is just like everything. The first Naruto
Speaker 5: tattoo I got actually was this one see Akatski.
Speaker 2: Cloud the first. How many Naruto tattoos do you have? Oh?
Speaker 4: And be honest, she's having to think it's that many.
Speaker 4: This is a hard hitting question. I have a hard
Speaker 4: hitting podcast We Want.
Speaker 5: To Know, and Maara on my other leg I have,
Speaker 5: it's Hashi, Kakashi, Jerayah, Rockley, and Naruto and then Neji
Speaker 5: on the other side.
Speaker 2: So, so thirty seven Naruto tattoos basically just about So
Speaker 2: Naruto has like over two thousand episodes and like four
Speaker 2: hundred seasons worth. Have you seen every single episode because
Speaker 2: my son's seen them every episode multiple times?
Speaker 3: Me too, Me too. Yeah, when on bored, I throw
Speaker 3: it on.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Really, that's like the food for you.
Speaker 3: It is, it really is.
Speaker 5: And it's funny because I'm looking at my fridge and
Speaker 5: I'm like, yeah, there's like Naruto magnets all over the place.
Speaker 5: And I dress my cats up like Naruto characters too.
Speaker 2: So I don't think. I don't think people that aren't
Speaker 2: into anime, I don't think they understand the amount of
Speaker 2: influence that Naruto has had on every culture in the world.
Speaker 2: Like people all over the world watch Love committed themselves
Speaker 2: to this. When he made me watch it with him,
Speaker 2: I was like, man, I'm sit here and watch this
Speaker 2: kid show. And I sat down and watching, I'm like,
Speaker 2: this is not a kid show. And then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, like I'm recognizing some of the I'm like, hey,
Speaker 2: that's my friend Steve Bloom doing that voice all this
Speaker 2: kind of stuff, and so I started getting into it.
Speaker 2: I'm not joking that anime and my hero Academia are
Speaker 2: the only two anime that have ever made me cry.
Speaker 2: A cartoon that made me cry. Now, granted, Disney got
Speaker 2: me once with The Fox and the Hound, because that
Speaker 2: end of that movie is just a big middle finger
Speaker 2: to every human on Earth.
Speaker 4: Someone hasn't seen the movie up.
Speaker 2: I saw.
Speaker 4: Those don't make.
Speaker 2: You cry and cried Iron Giant, but I'm glad you did.
Speaker 2: But Naruto has made me cry because, like I said,
Speaker 2: they did so many episodes. You get to know some
Speaker 2: of these characters and you just know they're not going
Speaker 2: to get rid of them, and then as soon as
Speaker 2: you fall in love, they rip your heart out. How
Speaker 2: many tears have you shed watching that show? And does
Speaker 2: it still make you cry?
Speaker 3: It does.
Speaker 5: It's so wack, it really does. Because my husband's like,
Speaker 5: why are you doing this to yourself? Why are you
Speaker 5: watching this? And I don't want to spoil anything there,
Speaker 5: He's like, why are you watching this scene?
Speaker 3: Again? Like you've seen this happen to so and so
Speaker 3: like ten times.
Speaker 5: I'm like, I know, but this is what he has,
Speaker 5: like all his things, and he did everything at once,
Speaker 5: and he uses every last bit and the frog and
Speaker 5: the whole thing so.
Speaker 2: And the frog. By the way, it's it's an old show.
Speaker 2: You're allowed to spoil anything. If they haven't seen it,
Speaker 2: it's too bad for them. You won't get in trouble.
Speaker 5: It's Jariah ripped my heart up so many times and
Speaker 5: then like Negie was like my all time like I
Speaker 5: hate Nata end soccer, but that's another story. But like
Speaker 5: it's just I would trade Negie for like five of
Speaker 5: those characters. But I digress. But like the first time
Speaker 5: I ever pride watching the show is when something almost
Speaker 5: happened to Akamaru. Like that's how emotionally invested it. So yeah,
Speaker 5: I was like trying not to like let my husband
Speaker 5: know that I was crying. I was like about it,
Speaker 5: and he's.
Speaker 3: Like, what's wrong. I was like, something almost happened to Akimar.
Speaker 3: He's like, wait almost in you're crap.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So so let's talk a little up Up, Down Down?
Speaker 2: Who would you say is your greatest rivalry? Since you
Speaker 2: guys have started that YouTube channel and for those who
Speaker 2: don't know, Up, Up, Down Down is a great gamer channel.
Speaker 2: They play video games, and basically every professional wrestler in
Speaker 2: the world loves playing video games and they've all been
Speaker 2: exposed now because of this channel for their passion. I
Speaker 2: even got to go and be the engine master for
Speaker 2: the season three of Rollout for for Woods, you and
Speaker 2: all them. Who would you say your biggest rival over there?
Speaker 5: I only have to think about it for a second,
Speaker 5: but it's kofe freaking Kingston.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad you said that because that was exactly
Speaker 2: what Xavier wrote. Is he is he better than you?
Speaker 2: Or is it a back and forth? Who's the better gamer?
Speaker 2: Who won the last match? Will you kill him?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: He did?
Speaker 5: He did beat me, and I know he's gonna like
Speaker 5: clip this and he's gonna play it for me over
Speaker 5: and over and over. And it's fine. But he is
Speaker 5: the better gamer. If I were to give it to him,
Speaker 5: he is the better game. I have beaten him, but
Speaker 5: he's better.
Speaker 2: I'll edit that out if you want, Jeff, go ahead, bro,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 4: I don't understand any of the anime talks. I know
Speaker 4: you don't, but it sounds why you sound nice, sounded
Speaker 4: like something I should watch if it's gonna make me
Speaker 4: start getting tattoos and dressing like a crazy wrestler. I
Speaker 4: don't know if I can, if I can do it,
Speaker 4: but I'll consider it. Wrestler's always dressed crazy. Can I
Speaker 4: just say that I dated a female wrestler for a while.
Speaker 4: She's always you guys always look so cool and interesting
Speaker 4: in the ring, and then you go out in public
Speaker 4: and they're all dressed so crazy. Like I saw Enzo
Speaker 4: Amory at the mall one time, and everybody thought he
Speaker 4: was like a like a really rich homeless guy or something.
Speaker 4: He had so much easy things going on.
Speaker 2: What would be your your look? I'm an amateur cosplayer,
Speaker 2: all right, even at my advanced stage. I have costumes
Speaker 2: at the house. We used to just call it dress up.
Speaker 2: It wasn't called cosplay when I was grown.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say you're an amateur, bro. You have like
Speaker 4: five hundred of the coolest masks I've ever seen, And
Speaker 4: I was like, what are these for you? Like, I
Speaker 4: don't know, he got out.
Speaker 2: It's not like a career thing. Like I have friends
Speaker 2: that literally make a career out of cosplay. They get
Speaker 2: paid to go places dressed up. One of my friends,
Speaker 2: Alicia Marie, makes all her own costumes and you you
Speaker 2: know her, yes, see, of course you know her. She's
Speaker 2: an amazing human being. By the way, Jeff, I think
Speaker 2: you may or may not have met her. But if
Speaker 2: there was, what's one cosplay you haven't done that you
Speaker 2: would love to do and then just try to explain
Speaker 2: to people what the passion and where it comes from
Speaker 2: for cosplay?
Speaker 5: Well, so actually it's funny as you brought up Alicia,
Speaker 5: because I was thinking that if I were to have
Speaker 5: one and I couldn't build this, only she could because
Speaker 5: her chaucon was im just the most amazing thing I've
Speaker 5: ever seen. So I'd say definitely have the female version
Speaker 5: of Chao Khan because that was just incredible.
Speaker 3: Like I've seen her Predator, I've seen.
Speaker 2: Her Predators, Oh my god.
Speaker 3: So good, so good. But I say the Shao Kan
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 5: And for me, it started with like when I was
Speaker 5: a kid, I hated the fact that Halloween only came
Speaker 5: around once a year because I'd like to, you know, Jesso,
Speaker 5: so just like why can't I be Bubbles all the time?
Speaker 3: Why can't I be Harley Quinn all the time? Like
Speaker 3: this is stupid?
Speaker 4: But then you picked the right profession, right, yeah, and.
Speaker 3: Now I get to dress up.
Speaker 5: But it's yeah, it started there, and then once I
Speaker 5: realized that cosplay was a thing, then I was like, Okay, well,
Speaker 5: now I can just put it under this umbrella and
Speaker 5: just be nerdy and whatever.
Speaker 2: Regardless, let's have a serious wrestling question. Okay, where did
Speaker 2: the passion for wrestling come from? I love that your
Speaker 2: cat's tail is just like in the in the edge
Speaker 2: of the frame waving, just letting us know that it's
Speaker 2: all about the cat and not about us. Where did
Speaker 2: the original passion come from? For me? And I've said
Speaker 2: this before, so I won't bore people with the story again.
Speaker 2: My grandmother lived, born and raised in Puerto Rico, bo Caron.
Speaker 2: I saw my first match in San Juan and they
Speaker 2: had a cage around it, and I asked if it
Speaker 2: was a steel cage match, and she said no, that's
Speaker 2: in case the wrong person wins, the crowd won't kill him.
Speaker 2: They take their wrestling seriously. So where did your love
Speaker 2: inspiration come for it? And what was like the first
Speaker 2: time you were sort of exposed to it?
Speaker 3: So it started just I'd say with my dad.
Speaker 5: My dad, he was a huge, huge wrestling fan, and
Speaker 5: really just my whole family were huge dressling fans, and
Speaker 5: we would go to the Madisonsquare Garden with the huge
Speaker 5: just bring it signs like we were all about it
Speaker 5: for ever.
Speaker 3: I remember he suggested of like Lita for Halloween.
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, so I was Freddie's favorite is my
Speaker 2: favorite female wrestler? All? Yeah? Absolutely? That match in Puerto
Speaker 2: Rico is such a heartbreaker when right, besides you, yes,
Speaker 2: of course, besides the.
Speaker 3: Great thank your favorite, your favor She's I think she
Speaker 3: should be everybody'snumber one.
Speaker 5: Honestly, she was such a groundbreaking just person, not just woman,
Speaker 5: but person. And and Bray mysterio. You know, once I
Speaker 5: saw write listen Halloween having nineteen ninety seven him and Eddie,
Speaker 5: that was the match that made me go, oh my god,
Speaker 5: I think I can do this.
Speaker 2: And how old were you if it was about.
Speaker 3: Six years old turning seven?
Speaker 2: No freaking way. Yeah, that's how it is with all y'all.
Speaker 2: It's from childhood. It's from child It's so rare these
Speaker 2: I guess there's some wrestlers I think that weren't exposed
Speaker 2: to wrestling at a young age. But at least every
Speaker 2: guest that I've had on it's never in their teenage years.
Speaker 2: It's always at like five, six, seven years old, and
Speaker 2: they're like, no, I knew this was what I wanted
Speaker 2: to do, and it's such a lottery ticket. How do
Speaker 2: you stay disciplined enough to be one of the point
Speaker 2: one percent that actually make it to television and get
Speaker 2: to fulfill their dream?
Speaker 5: I mean, to be honest, I feel like part of
Speaker 5: it was, you know, hard work, and you talk about
Speaker 5: Naruto and Rockley is some of like I take a
Speaker 5: lot of inspiration from Rockley when it comes to like
Speaker 5: hard work and you know whatever. So part of it's that.
Speaker 5: Part of it was being lucky, like Amazing Red. He's
Speaker 5: my cousin and for those who don't know him, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: So I started training with him when I was seventeen.
Speaker 5: I was supposed to be eighteen whatever, but searching with
Speaker 5: him at seventeen and then just kind of progressed from there.
Speaker 5: I met Tommy Dreamer my gosh, that was twenty ten,
Speaker 5: and he got me my first trow out in TNA.
Speaker 3: Got signed after that, and it just kind of continued
Speaker 3: to roll.
Speaker 5: But what people don't know is the things that we
Speaker 5: had to go through, especially my I say my generation
Speaker 5: of wrestling, but like my age group, especially people that
Speaker 5: I knew around that time. I was taken from my
Speaker 5: grandmother's house in Queen's. I would take the train from
Speaker 5: there into the city and then have on the bus
Speaker 5: all the way to North Carolina for nine hours to
Speaker 5: train with the Hearty's and then like make it all
Speaker 5: the way back.
Speaker 3: So that's the kind of.
Speaker 5: Stuff, you know, sleeping in cars, like doing all these things, traveling,
Speaker 5: you know, doing shows for twenty bucks and maybe a
Speaker 5: hot dog or something.
Speaker 3: That's the stuff that people don't know. Now, now you
Speaker 3: get to go to these.
Speaker 5: Beautiful performance centers and you know, get the A plus
Speaker 5: treatments into Jump Street. But what they don't know is
Speaker 5: that people like me had to suffer for it. I
Speaker 5: loved it, every minute of it. I love suffering every
Speaker 5: minute of it because it brought.
Speaker 3: Me into now. And it's not just And again, I
Speaker 3: didn't even train.
Speaker 5: I should say this. I didn't train to be a manager.
Speaker 5: That was something that Triple H just said, Hey, I
Speaker 5: think this is gonna work. It's just from your attitude
Speaker 5: and his like.
Speaker 2: Your mic skills, Yeah, you had mic skills and so on.
Speaker 2: Once they see that, it's an easier transition, right, because
Speaker 2: all of a sudden they have a unicorn. Because not
Speaker 2: every great wrestler was great on the mic. My favorite
Speaker 2: manager of all time wasn't the best manager of all time.
Speaker 2: It is mister Fuji. But I was just obsessed with
Speaker 2: everything that came out of Japan back when I was
Speaker 2: a little kid, and I liked that he cheated I
Speaker 2: always liked the cheaters.
Speaker 4: I also liked that he had a camera that shot fire.
Speaker 2: Somehow, speaking of your mic skills, they have brought you
Speaker 2: opportunities even outside wrestling, and you have something coming up
Speaker 2: where you're joining the Street Fighters commentary team this June look.
Speaker 2: Street Fighter two was the greatest arcade game ever made
Speaker 2: for my generation, for my generation, I know it's not
Speaker 2: Mortal Kombat. I wasn't Immortal Kombat. I'm sorry, Jeff, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I loved I loved Street Fighter two so much. Dulcin
Speaker 2: was my guy. Nobody can get close to me, and
Speaker 2: if they did, they got the yoga fire and that
Speaker 2: was their ass. How excited are you to see what
Speaker 2: you sacrificed and suffered for leading to something that is
Speaker 2: a genuine interest of yours and now you get to
Speaker 2: do that too.
Speaker 5: It's mind blowing, honestly, Like and that even how that
Speaker 5: came about was such a crazy journey. But you know,
Speaker 5: back in the day, I didn't really have like friends necessarily.
Speaker 5: I kind of just like had people. I hung around
Speaker 5: with them. My brother was my partner in crime. That
Speaker 5: was the person I played video games with all the time,
Speaker 5: would watch like anime with and just he was he's
Speaker 5: my best friend, you know, outside of my husband now,
Speaker 5: but he's He had a big influence on me when
Speaker 5: it came to like fighting games. So when he introduced
Speaker 5: me to Street Fighter, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 5: this is so cool and I love Vega.
Speaker 2: Vega.
Speaker 5: That's why my last name is Vega, because really, yeah,
Speaker 5: that's why I picked it.
Speaker 2: That guy kicked my ass so like he was easier
Speaker 2: in the arcade than on the Nintendo when it came out.
Speaker 2: He was way harder on the Nintendo, and that would
Speaker 2: always stop my progress. I could never beat him until
Speaker 2: the second time. The first time I thought him, he
Speaker 2: would always win. I hate when he would jump up
Speaker 2: on the cage. I hated that claw. I hated the mask.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to smash the Phantom of the Opera mask.
Speaker 2: I hated it so much. And that's the one you pick.
Speaker 4: I got a thing about Vega. I I know this
Speaker 4: this episode is not about Jeff Die, but when we
Speaker 4: were young boys we played Street Fighter. We didn't have
Speaker 4: the internet, right, we thought Vega was a girl. We
Speaker 4: thought it was a and so we were like, you know,
Speaker 4: there's a part you can pause where you can see
Speaker 4: you can see her chest, so we would like we
Speaker 4: would like pause it and we're like, oh, dude, Bega's
Speaker 4: so hot. Like we were like so into it and
Speaker 4: we had no idea. I think like in high school
Speaker 4: something like you know, other high school boy was like,
Speaker 4: you know that's a guy. We're like, nah, Begga's a
Speaker 4: hot bag of CAMMI then then a chunk. I have
Speaker 4: a question for her. It's an easy one. So it's
Speaker 4: like when I we like we go to comedy clubs,
Speaker 4: we always ask the booker like who do you love?
Speaker 4: Who do you hate? And it's fun for us to
Speaker 4: just have a little gossip, you know, like say, oh
Speaker 4: they don't like this comic and or they do like this,
Speaker 4: and the answers always vary. So my question for you
Speaker 4: as a wrestler, which one of your former wrestling coworkers
Speaker 4: or what you could even pick a stable mate? Who
Speaker 4: would you like to kick through a barber shop window?
Speaker 2: Like a Spartan stomp? You know what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they go all the way. You can be in character,
Speaker 2: you don't have to be in real life. I'm not
Speaker 2: trying to get you in trouble.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Also, it can be in any time. You could say
Speaker 4: that I used to work with some creep down and
Speaker 4: blah blah blah.
Speaker 5: Well I I kind of did do that already, not
Speaker 5: not through the window. But there was a point back
Speaker 5: when when Sasha had just came out to save Bianca
Speaker 5: from Carmela and I and she had hit me with
Speaker 5: the meteora, and dude, I felt like my orbital bone broke.
Speaker 5: I was like, oh my god. And of course she
Speaker 5: was like super apologetic and whatever. But then I was like,
Speaker 5: just no, girl, you gotta receip like I was so mad.
Speaker 5: And then she's like, okay, cool, like whatever, right, whirl
Speaker 5: rumble happens, And I knew I was gonna eliminate her,
Speaker 5: and I was like, this is my moment, so bruh.
Speaker 3: I think I kicked the soul out of her.
Speaker 5: I kicked it so hard through and she blew back
Speaker 5: and she landed on the floor and I see her
Speaker 5: just shaking her head like this, and I knew she
Speaker 5: knew that that was what I was waiting for. And
Speaker 5: of course you were a fine afterwards, and it was funny,
Speaker 5: but I remember Riha going, oh, she was waiting for
Speaker 5: that one. Yep, that's the one.
Speaker 2: I'm rewatching that rumble just to see that moment.
Speaker 3: A douche.
Speaker 5: I think I said, what's the boss to a queen?
Speaker 5: And I, yeah, I got into it. It was, you know,
Speaker 5: whole day, but it was. And but fast forward, I'd say, now, riha,
Speaker 5: because and it's not you know, it's not like it's
Speaker 5: not known that her and I are very close. However,
Speaker 5: you're close up until you're going for the championship.
Speaker 4: And she got.
Speaker 5: So I'm just like, listen, we have history. I know
Speaker 5: a lot about you and she knows a lot about me.
Speaker 5: But that's the person who I'm going for.
Speaker 4: It could be like Hogan versus the Giant.
Speaker 3: Do you know how many times I've been watching me?
Speaker 4: You're very little, She's a giant.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The ray mysterio to my brock Lesner.
Speaker 2: Well, my last question comes from mister Xavier Woods, and
Speaker 2: I will read it exactly as he wrote it, and
Speaker 2: it's not it's not a question you have to go
Speaker 2: oh God, because he loves his queen. And he says
Speaker 2: a question for my queen, if you could have any
Speaker 2: song ever made for your theme music, what would it be?
Speaker 2: And why?
Speaker 3: Oh my god?
Speaker 5: So there's two ways that can go about this, right.
Speaker 5: So like, on the one hand, I had my dream music.
Speaker 5: It was having Modera, like the English voice actor from
Speaker 5: Mauchiha in my Queen music. He was the one that said,
Speaker 5: all Hail the Queen Queen Selina.
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, you made that, you made that happen or
Speaker 2: it just happened random about myself.
Speaker 5: Him and I spoke about it and was super receptive
Speaker 5: to it, and we put him you actually hear the
Speaker 5: all Hill the Queen now in Charlotte's music or whatever,
Speaker 5: but that all Hill the Queen queens Elena, That's that's Maderoccia.
Speaker 3: That was like my dream theme music. Got it.
Speaker 5: But I'd say for now, it's hard because I love
Speaker 5: she's done a lot of the Demon Slayer music, but Lisa,
Speaker 5: I would love for her to do like some really
Speaker 5: cool like Demon Slayer inspired, like something like with Fire
Speaker 5: and ring Goku, especially because now I'm a good guys.
Speaker 5: Now I can play off the good guys and like
Speaker 5: Rehn Goku Fire, you know, and then just have her saying, oh,
Speaker 5: that'd be so cool that or Aliah because Alia is
Speaker 5: just just my everything.
Speaker 2: So either really I knew her a bit. It was Yeah,
Speaker 2: I knew her a little bit back in the back
Speaker 2: in the nineties.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh my god, she's like my favorite to this
Speaker 5: day singer, actress, like everything. So it's actually where I
Speaker 5: got a lot of my like inspiration. Outfit wise, I
Speaker 5: actually did a cosplay the Try Again outfit for tv
Speaker 5: H two months ago.
Speaker 2: I want to say, I wouldn't have even eat in
Speaker 2: on that if you didn't say it just now, that's crazy.
Speaker 2: That's crazy, Jeff. Do you have any questions, closing questions
Speaker 2: or are you happy and satisfied?
Speaker 4: I'm happy.
Speaker 2: It was a.
Speaker 3: Pleasure to actually have a question, to switch it around
Speaker 3: for you.
Speaker 2: What's your question? Go ahead, We're ready.
Speaker 5: So just considering the fact that you do have you
Speaker 5: know a lot from being a fan, just wrestling knowledge
Speaker 5: and just the knowledge that you have as a total
Speaker 5: I had seen somewhere and I don't even know if
Speaker 5: you actually said it, but that you didn't really love
Speaker 5: me being with Legato. Is that a true statement?
Speaker 2: It is true. Here's why here.
Speaker 5: I wanted to hear this because I have my thoughts
Speaker 5: on it too, and I'm very curious to work what
Speaker 5: you think.
Speaker 2: So here was my thing with him. WWE oftentimes when
Speaker 2: someone when English is their second language, they give them
Speaker 2: a manager no matter what. And I heard Legato speak
Speaker 2: and I didn't feel that it was necessary for him
Speaker 2: to have one because I thought if given the right opportunity,
Speaker 2: and as long as it's a writer that he connects with,
Speaker 2: or if he's the kind of guy that doesn't need
Speaker 2: a writer some wrestlers don't, then he could have his
Speaker 2: own promo and his own voice. I always felt that
Speaker 2: the manager position was reserved for those who weren't able
Speaker 2: to get themselves or their message across in a promo.
Speaker 2: And I've never had a hard time connecting with him
Speaker 2: in any way, shape or form. In fact, I was
Speaker 2: going to tell you when the interview's over, but I'll
Speaker 2: just say it now and people, yeah, he's my current
Speaker 2: favorite wrestler, Like I love the guy. I love the guy.
Speaker 2: I was not hip to him before he came to NXT.
Speaker 2: I didn't know about the Luca Underground stuff that him
Speaker 2: and Ricochet did and that Grand pre match that they
Speaker 2: did that was kind of a recreation of that match.
Speaker 2: I wasn't hip to it, and it was a buddy
Speaker 2: of mine who was like, no, you have to go
Speaker 2: see that match. So I had to go back and
Speaker 2: watch Luca Underground. I was like, holy shit, like, and
Speaker 2: I've just fallen in love with the guy. He's my
Speaker 2: man crush. I think he's amazing, and I just didn't
Speaker 2: think he needed a voice. But it was in no
Speaker 2: way like why don't one heard a voice? No, I
Speaker 2: loved you with Andred. I thought you were great with him,
Speaker 2: but he needed more help than I felt than I
Speaker 2: feel Legato does. So yeah, that's my guy. I just
Speaker 2: I felt like he can stand on his own, and
Speaker 2: I think eventually he will, I hope, so they give
Speaker 2: him the right opportunity. But yeah, I love him and
Speaker 2: I love that they made you guys good guys. I
Speaker 2: love you guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is funny. That's the first time ever in
Speaker 3: my career as a good guy.
Speaker 2: That's right. Huh, You've always been a horrible person.
Speaker 3: Yes, And it's so it's funny that you said because
Speaker 3: I was I.
Speaker 5: Was reading it, and I'm thinking, like, I wonder if
Speaker 5: he's thinking what I was thinking when I first heard it,
Speaker 5: because when.
Speaker 2: I what was your thought?
Speaker 3: Well, because I.
Speaker 5: Said the same thing, I was like, he doesn't need
Speaker 5: me though, because he's a great wrestler and a great
Speaker 5: promo like why does he need me? And the way
Speaker 5: that it was explained to me was, well, the group
Speaker 5: is new to the main roster. You know, you you're
Speaker 5: very known by this, you know, the SmackDown audience and whatever.
Speaker 5: So by putting in with you, people go, oh, okay,
Speaker 5: what's this about. We already know her to be the
Speaker 5: heel manager. We know her to be the heel restler. Like,
Speaker 5: if she's introducing them, then that means that that's what
Speaker 5: they're about. So I think it was just really to
Speaker 5: help make the transition for the fans easier to go, oh, okay,
Speaker 5: that's who they are, which I was like, okay. But
Speaker 5: I think since then it's evolved so much that it
Speaker 5: started there and I didn't even really do all of
Speaker 5: that much talking, to be honest, but like it's evolved
Speaker 5: so much since now, like being with Ray and first
Speaker 5: of all, dream come true? What the hell eight year
Speaker 5: old is? Just like what is life?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 5: But now having Ray on our side and having you know,
Speaker 5: LWO be a thing again, it's just it's crazy. It's really,
Speaker 5: especially because Ray's like, well, you're gonna be the first
Speaker 5: female ever in l W and I was.
Speaker 2: Like, that's freaking right.
Speaker 5: You know it's crazy. It's crazy, but I do. I
Speaker 5: did agree with you, and I thought it was funny.
Speaker 5: I was like, considering what he knows about wrestling, I
Speaker 5: imagine he saw it through my eyes the way I
Speaker 5: saw it initially. And now it's just it's we're wrestlers
Speaker 5: in a team, not me managing wrestlers.
Speaker 2: So that's yeah, it's much more has a stable vibe
Speaker 2: as far as opposed to a manager talent type vibe.
Speaker 2: It's now no, this is the group the LWO Reborn basically.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which I'm glad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well I'm glad. My answer was good for you.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Jeff.
Speaker 4: I do have one I forgot that. I do have
Speaker 4: one more question though. You You you and your husband
Speaker 4: both have Action figures, right, and I believe you. You
Speaker 4: you like the action figures, you collect the Action figures.
Speaker 4: What is your favorite action figure that you own? I
Speaker 4: got a ton in here, I got you know, we're
Speaker 4: wrestling fans, so what what is your favorite action figure
Speaker 4: that that you own?
Speaker 3: I you know what, It's funny. I was like, where
Speaker 3: is this question going? Initially I was like you and
Speaker 3: me both.
Speaker 5: But of course, like a party wants to say mine,
Speaker 5: because I never actually thought I would even get to
Speaker 5: the point because it's Queens Elena and just got the crown,
Speaker 5: and I'm like, it's me. It's so strange but especial
Speaker 5: because I used to collect them so much.
Speaker 3: I had so many.
Speaker 5: Actually, my brother used to rip Triple H's hair off
Speaker 5: of his actual figures.
Speaker 4: But there is a really unnecessarily he was very much
Speaker 4: of Triple eventually cut all his hair off.
Speaker 3: He was a talk fan and he got super pissed
Speaker 3: one time. I was just like, no, but.
Speaker 5: Yeah, violence, but I have a really huge like it's
Speaker 5: it's probably about if you guys can see this, yeah,
Speaker 5: even bigger. Honestly, it's probably like this bit. But it's
Speaker 5: a huge a Tachi statue.
Speaker 2: That's sick. I used to have the old Vulture on
Speaker 2: he was about the same size.
Speaker 3: It's a really statue.
Speaker 5: And I think there's a guy named He's he has
Speaker 5: the YouTube channel band Collectibles and he's the one who
Speaker 5: actually helped me get it. But I wanted a really
Speaker 5: big a Tachi and he finally helped me find like
Speaker 5: the perfect one, Like it's beautiful, Like I was definitely like,
Speaker 5: send a picture, but it is beautiful, just by far
Speaker 5: my favorite. I can't wait because we were actually moving
Speaker 5: in June to a new house where I have like
Speaker 5: my own office where the walls aren't walls.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you're such a nerd.
Speaker 4: That's that's sick. I am sorry, though the correct answer was.
Speaker 4: The correct answer was my favorite action figure is Buffy
Speaker 4: the Vampire Slayer, but yours.
Speaker 2: Was a good second place. Since good second place, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna call you miss Vega, since we bonded on Street Fighter. Now,
Speaker 2: I hope you have an absolute blast in June doing
Speaker 2: the Street Fighter sixth thing. I rarely get jealous, but
