Speaker 2: the wall characters that all of us were talking about

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: afterwards as just what a cool backstory to you know, Well,

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: I don't want to ruin it, but you know, just

26
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 2: think about her dress.

27
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 6: That's all I'm going to say.

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's telling us about it, how it changes after

29
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: every match.

30
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: It was just so all the little details we're thinking about.

31
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 4: You were saying that if I was a wrestler, i'd

32
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 4: be the professor. Yeah, I think I should just be angst.

33
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 4: Oh oh that's great, just the angst. That's great.

34
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: Every time, like everybody comes out to this big music,

35
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: but you're always.

36
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 4: Just in the corner kind of just saying by your

37
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 4: and like they want. They'd interview me before match and

38
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 4: just be like, I'm just too much. Man, I just can't.

39
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 5: I can't even go would be thunder and rain, Oh

40
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 5: I love it.

41
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 4: I'm just too deep for this.

42
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: I just can't.

43
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: We should be two wrestlers that never actually wrest I

44
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: just sit in the corner and a rock, That's.

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: What I mean.

46
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 4: And I'm always just like I'm not kidding in that.

47
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: So that's we can have the characters because we have

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: the talent portion with the acting, but not so much

49
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: with the athleticism.

50
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 4: It seems like you need.

51
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: Kind of the whole package.

52
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: You definitely need both, sure, but I think you guys

53
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: are onto something. Try to be wrestlers without any any

54
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly.

55
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 2: Hey, I've gone through this much of my life without

56
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: any athletics.

57
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: All right, everyone enjoyed this episode. Our next guest is

58
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: an absolute legend, whether as a two time Olympic power lifter,

59
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: as a Pan American Games winner of a gold, a silver,

60
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: and a bronze medal, or as a multi time US

61
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: national champion and winner of the two thousand and two

62
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: Arnold Schwarzenegger Strongman Classic. I mean, Will won in two

63
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, but we are just not as impressive

64
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: as yeah, yeah, you were sick that year, right, And

65
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: then starting in nineteen ninety six, he entered the WWE

66
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: and he has never looked back. He's a former World

00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: Heavyweight Champion and he was inducted into the WWE Hall

68
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: of Fame in twenty eighteen. It would be impossible to

69
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: summarize the Attitude era or the late nineties and two

70
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: thousands without mentioning this absolute superstar. So you can now

71

76
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: have to I'm gonna have to actually do it because

77
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: like they mixed. I did three sports, okay, powerlifting, weightlifting,

80
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: it sounds like bragging when I say it, but it's

81
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 3: like the powerlifting World I was world champion. The Olympic

82
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: Weightlifting World and powerlifting are completely different. It's like bad

83
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: midton and tennis, you know, they just they both have rackets,

84
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: they both have nets. But and the Olympic weightlifting, I

85
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: was national champion, but I was not world champion. Uh

86
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: and strong man I was world champion.

87
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 4: I don't know what strong man.

88
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: Strong Man is like an athletic, Like they just take

89
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 3: implements like who can lift this heavy rock?

90
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 7: Don't you have to pull a bus?

91
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: Isn't that strong man?

92
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 8: Like it's like.

93
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 3: Well I would have said a pull of train, but

94
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: that that might sound bad, but we've done it all

95
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: and it's it's funny that like the yoke, Like people

96
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: say what's a yoke, and it's like, oh, you put

97
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: something on your neck and you carry, like there's a

98
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 3: timber carry, there's a frame carry and all of these

99
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 3: are eight hundred pounds implements that you have to pick

100
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 3: up and then walk with, you know. And then you've

101
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: seen the movie of Conan. Yeah, you know, so they

102
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 3: have an apparatus called the Conan Wheel. Yeah. The more

103
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,679
Speaker 3: you twist, the more you turn, the harder it gets.

104
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 3: And uh, and then they measure how many reputations that

105
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: you go.

106
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,400

00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 4: So how do you train for that?

109
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 9: Do you do?

110
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 4: You know all these events before you go in, or

111
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 4: you know, you.

112
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: Know before, but you know, like the competitions vary, so

113
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: you might go to one competition and it might be

114
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 3: real heavy and pressing implements, or you know, this one

115
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 3: might be pulling things right, you know, so it's it's

116
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: different and you just have to be versatile. And I

117
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: was because of my leticism. It just takes. It was

118
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:30,960

121
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,880

00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 2: grab a keg and throw it up over their head

124
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: and it's good. It's for height, so their talk, it's

125
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:46,800

133
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,799
Speaker 3: start going through you know, Okay, I have to push

134
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: this forward and get my knees under it and then

135
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: hug it and pull it to me and do it.

136
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,120

00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: no other human walking the planet has been able to do.

138
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: Still to this day.

139
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,120

142
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: for years and years people couldn't even pull it off

143
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: the ground. It was kind of like Thor's hammer. And

144
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 3: then the first time I touched it, you know, I

145
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: did Arnold Schwarzenegger's competition at the on a Classic, and

146
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: I was so disappointed that I couldn't lift it over

147
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: my head, and they were like, hey, man, you just

Speaker 7: Of Asgard now, so I don't understand what the problem is.

152
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,600

153
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 3: And in the calendar year, I lifted it. Wow, and

186
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 3: It's the spectacle of it. It's the fact that, you know,

Speaker 12: Damn And people come from every little small place in

194
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 12: the world because they've seen it on TV or they

195
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 12: watched it on YouTube.

196
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 3: And they finally get here, Like it's just a special

197
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: thing and it's not like the Olympics or the Arnal

198
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: Classic or you know, the NBA Championships and stuff, where

199
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: it's only important to people in that genre or people

200
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 3: in that country. You know, I don't know nothing about

201
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 3: cricket or you know a lot of rugby and so forth.

202
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: But I'm sure that there's some people that take it really,

203
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 3: really seriously. Everybody takes wrestle serious. Yeah, like that's crazy.

204
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, well one of the things that like, this is

205
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: Will's only second wrestling event ever. He went to the

206
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: premiere of Raw on Netflix that was his first. This

207
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: is Writer's first ever wrestling event ever, and both of

208
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: their first WrestleMania so Saturday. Yes, he's never even been

209
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: to a wrestling show.

210
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 3: That's like going to Carnegie Hall and performance. Yes, I'm excited.

211
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 6: I'm excited, Ma.

212
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 3: You get to go to WrestleMania first.

213
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: Yes, it's like your first super Bowl. It's like your

214
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 2: first football game ever. It is the Super Bowl.

215
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: And he has his ten year old son here with him,

216
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: who it's also his first wrestling show. So it's going

217
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: to be a family affair.

218
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 3: Because your kid is going to go to a live

219
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 3: event and go where's the Pyroe.

220
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: But he'll be into it because of the character. So

221
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: one of the one of the things that they have

222
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: both really gravitated to with the with the or the

223
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: storylines and and the understanding that each of you are

224
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: not only doing what we've been doing our entire lives,

225
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: acting and performing, but you're also doing it while being

226
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: incredibly athletic.

227
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 5: We talked about in little.

228
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: Tiny clothes in front of everybody, and something we all

229
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: have in common that I wanted to ask you about

230
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: is we've all had this experience where you build a

231
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: reputation for yourself, you're doing something, and then all of

232
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: a sudden you get a script to become sexual chocolate

233
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 1: and serenade an eighty year old woman.

234
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: And let me stop you. Okay. Sometimes people suggest that

235
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: and hand you a script created sexual jog.

236
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: Okay, see good, that is on. That's the thing that's

237
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: unlike what we get to do the do.

238
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 3: They invested a lot of money in me, and they

239
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 3: were like, look, we want you to be serious, and

240
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 3: I was like, no, I want to do comedy. No,

241
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 3: you're an olympian. We want you to do this. And

242
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 3: I was like, listen, I beg you to see the vision.

243
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 3: Let me do this. You won't be entertained, like and

244
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 3: they allowed me to do it, and here it is

245
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,239
Speaker 3: thirty five years later, and uh, every.

246
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 12: I can't go nowhere without people to people.

247
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: Hey, chocolate, and that's so great, Like we love that

248
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: so much that you that you have the freedom. They

249
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: pushed back, but you you won, and that some of

250
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: Like I think everybody we've interviewed today, their most iconic

251
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: moments they created and that came from that.

252
00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

253
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it just goes to show you that like

254
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: wrestling now having it finally it's been it's.

255
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 5: Felt niche for so long, and now it's really starting

256
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 5: to feel like it's starting to become for the masses.

257
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 5: And one of the things I'd like for our industry

258
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 5: to learn is the fact that when you trust your

259
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 5: talent enough to let them make their make some of

260
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 5: their own decisions, and you can really it can really

261
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 5: be for everybody.

262
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 7: Okay, I have a question.

00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 4: You're so your training you're an Olympic athlete.

265
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: was this something you found after.

266
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: I had no idea.

267
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 6: Huh.

00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 3: I was a wrestling fan. My grandmother and I share that,

00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 3: just don't care. Wow. Like it's like wrestling is not

275
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: a thing for my grandmother. Oh my god. She was

276
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,640

278
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 3: go to Beaumont to the Civic Center and watch wrestling.

279
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 3: And that was just our thing. And you know, I

280
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: watched wrestling all through college and around that time, I

281
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 3: used to every competition there's a video on. You know,

282
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: the internet is undefeated. I did these celebrity slam dunk

283
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 3: contests back in the day, and I dunked and I

284
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 3: started posing and flexing and getting the crowd hype. And

285
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 3: then WW was like that dude needs to wrestle, and

286
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,360

00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: see me wrestle, probably about six years and would come

294
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 3: to shows and I heard my mom and and and

295
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: just like she would laugh a lot because it was

296
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 3: me doing it.

297
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 7: Breaks the fantasy when.

298
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 3: Somebody else was. She was so.

299
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 9: And I'm like, why you laugh about You ain't gonna

300
00:16:54,640 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 9: hurt No, It's like, oh, Grandma, don't believe.

301
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 3: That's so.

302
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: You were outside the WWE for a little, you were

303
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: working elsewhere after being with this company for decades, and

304
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: here you are Siberia. What's the most important thing you

305
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: learned while dabbling with others for a minute.

306
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 3: I think the most important thing is there's unbelievable talent everywhere,

307
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 3: but without proper leadership and direction and focus, you can't succeed.

308
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: Right, So smart, leave it right there? Leave it there,

309
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: all right?

310
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 3: That's fair.

311
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: You have seen a lot of wrestlers come and go

312
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: in the amount of time that you have been doing

313
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: what you do. What is the worst thing someone very

314
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: green can do in their first few months not care.

315
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 3: If you if you fail, you better show me that

316
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 3: you're morseful. You be able to show me that you're

317
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 3: trying to get better and you're sorry that you made

318
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 3: a mistake. And the people that's like, oh, well something

319
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 3: you can't make omelet I breaking a few eggs. Those

320
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 3: people get that kicked right. Like all wrestlers feel the

321
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 3: same exact way. It is nothing your life. Every one

322
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 3: of their lives in my hands. They I have a

323
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 3: friend that passed away a year and a half ago

324
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 3: that was paralyzed from the neck down for the last

325
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: seventeen to twenty years, and he was never bitter about it.

326
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: He was like, hey, man, I got a bad beat.

327
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 3: It happened. Its yeah, And I was actually standing at

328
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 3: ringside when it happened. And he was never better. Darren Drosdorf,

329
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 3: he started off as puke and because when he got

330
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 3: nervously throughout.

331
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 6: He was he was puke.

332
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 11: He was in the documentary where with You're kidding.

333
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 3: Paralyzed.

334
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 7: I didn't know.

335
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 3: That and it just it was, it just it was bad.

336
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 3: But he was never bitter about it, and he was like,

337
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 3: it's not his fault. Like I tried to put the

338
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,719
Speaker 3: mustard on the hot dog and I ruined it. And

339
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: I hurt myself in the process, and it's it's hard

340
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 3: to wake up every day and realize you can't do

341
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 3: nothing about that. But if that person's life is in

342
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 3: your hands, the last thing you want to do is

343
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 3: do something and not be responsible and not be understanding

344
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 3: that you know, things can't go wrong. And I've seen

345
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 3: a lot of wrestlers not care and that that's that's

346
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 3: the suckiest of it.

347
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, just get out of here with that.

348
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:05,479
Speaker 3: Have you?

349
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 2: Can you think of a wrestler that you saw up

350
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 2: and coming that you were like, this person is going

351
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: to be huge and then they just never got their shot.

352
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 3: Really, Oh, there's been a lot of them, I think,

353
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: like looks and talent wise. That was a girl named

354
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 3: Linda Miles. She played a character named Schanik what it

355
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 3: was with the Bashing Brothers and I just knew she

356
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 3: was Jay Cargill before j But she just didn't like wrestling.

357
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: That's a problem.

358
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 3: I want to do that. She she wanted to do

359
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 3: things her way, not the way that the company wanted

360
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 3: to do. They you can't go to McDonald's and make

361
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 3: a whopper, right, ye, Like it's they company do what

362
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 3: they want you to do and go home, take your check.

363
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: But especially when you're just getting started to ingratiate yourself

364
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: a little bit, make yourself making how you does exactly.

365
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: So Will has been steadily working out for all, I mean,

366
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: most of his life. He's in great shape, but he's

367
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: really striving to get you around.

368
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 6: Round is a shape, so we're honest. So yeah, we

369
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 6: look like ten, it's a shape.

370
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: His goal is to feel comfortable taking his shirt off.

371
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: Do you have any suggestions for a man who's pushing

372
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: fifty who wants to get in the best shape of

373
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: a different way?

374
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 3: This question?

375
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 10: Man, is there a way to ask a decrepit falling.

376
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 3: Strange?

377
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 7: Sometimes?

378
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 3: Listen, I've been around wrestling. I seen five hundred and

379
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 3: sixty pounds with no shirt on. So like, you gotta

380
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: just take it as it goes. Yeah, that's true. That's true.

381
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 3: Nobody's gonna judge you if your performance is great.

382
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 6: That's true.

383
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 7: Okay, So I could be Will dra the giant.

384
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 3: Oh, let's work on the.

385
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 7: Figure something out.

386
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 3: But like I wouldn't say the giant with a J.

387
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 6: Giant with a J.

388
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 7: That's my hook.

389
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 3: We're gonna work on Okay, workshop, But if workouts don't

390
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 3: take you to be in the gym for three hours.

391
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 3: You know. It's consistency over time, you know. So if

392
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 3: you can do three hundred reps every day, reps every day,

393
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 3: that's nothing. That's five five sets.

394
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, you do you do five of twenty five okay.

395
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 3: And the upper body like some curls, some overhead presses,

396
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 3: some bench presses, some lattle raisers, some rows, some whatever,

397
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 3: and then you do one hundred reps. There's one hundred

398
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 3: set ups. You can do one hundred squads or fifty

399
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: squads or twenty five lunches and then twenty five leg

400
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 3: curls like something. You're done with three hundred. Like you know,

401
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 3: my coach always said, if you could jump over broomstick,

402
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 3: you can stay in jake. So like you just keep

00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 3: And say, listen, there's five people that can do it

474
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 3: really well. All the rest of y'all can't do it

475
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 3: no more. Right, Like, there's a bunch of moves like

476
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 3: that needs to be the greatest people at it. Hey,

477
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 3: y'all keep on doing it. All the rest of y'all

478
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 3: until I give you permission. Y'all want to see you

479

481
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,959
Speaker 1: important it is to you that everybody stay safe, because,

482
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: like you said, it really is people's lives on the

483
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: line in the ring.

484
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 3: I've seen people risk that. It happened not long ago.

485
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 3: I'm not mass you no names because I don't want

486
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 3: to point the way out. But a girl dove through

487
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 3: the ropes, plunt her through the ropes to the floor,

488
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: and the girl on the rope on the floor saved

489
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 3: her life. It looked like too because she stopped wrestling.

490
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: Right and had to catch her right so ron dart

491
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: into the ground, and like she shouldn't have done it.

492
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 3: The agent should have said, no, I'm not doing that.

493
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, right.

494
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:38,000

495
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 3: to do to take care of each other, and the

496
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 3: ring should be everybody sanctuary. Yeah, you should treat it

497
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:46,880

Speaker 8: That your advice is the inverse of each other. It's like,

512
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 8: on the one hand, you want people to pull back

513
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 8: on the physical and like be very careful.

514
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 3: No, I don't want him to risk. I want him

515
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 3: to have a comedic and uh and a fear that

516
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: Like you go to a Broadway show and if it's

517
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 3: a one man's show, John leg Ozamo, you've ever seen

518
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,360

519
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 3: at this one man show. He's on stage, just him.

520
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 3: He did five characters in about thirty seconds and they

521
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 3: all made me laugh. Right, that's what wrestling. A guy

522
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 3: a girl that could perform and get your attention, be passionate. John,

523

Speaker 3: am I?

526
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 6: What was I talking about?

527
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 3: Do you remember what I was saying? Like he interactive?

528
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 3: There needs to be more interaction than wrestling too. We

529
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 3: we produce it so that you go, go go, but

530
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 3: wrestling is not that Historically wrestling is the term broadway

531
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 3: comes from wrestling, you know. So you have to be

00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,160

00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: Uh huh.

00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 3: is just inherently smart too. Yeah, so it's not like

543
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 3: he has to outwork you. He's just better than you.

544
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 3: Some people just good and he's one of those people.

581
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 3: You said he was gonna retire. I'm not retiring, y'all, suckers.

582
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 3: I mean lied to get the opportunity to do what

583
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 3: I'm doing right now. I main invented WrestleMania. It ain't

584
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 3: nothing you could do about it. And then I'm gonna

585
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 3: make your life miserable until I win. Nobody's winning until

586
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 3: I win. It was always my philosophy. If I lost

587
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 3: a fight as a little kid growing.

588
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: Up, yeah, I'm gonna make you me tomorrow too.

589
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 3: Eventually you go say, look, okay.

590
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 12: Just take it because I'm gonna make your life miserable

591
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 12: and that and that's the character that I want.

592
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 3: John to become.

593
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: Wow, I lied. I have one more question for you.

594
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: I mentioned that this is their first WrestleMania. What advice

595
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: do you have for them tomorrow to make the most

596
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: of their experience?

597
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 3: To take it in and act. Don't analyze, Okay, like.

598
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 7: You're very good at that.

599
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 3: I believe that when you analyze, you take your eye

600
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 3: off being in suspended belief and it happens to me

601
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 3: all the time, like I want to, Oh, man, I

602
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 3: want to just watch it. Yeah, and I'll start writing

603
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 3: notes for tomorrow for the show, and I'm like, once

604
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 3: I start analyzing it totally, so I say, just going there.

605
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 3: Get you some popcorn and Eminem's because I can't.

606
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: Eat popcorn without something sweet.

607
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 3: They go together like peanut butter joke, and enjoy yourself, like.

608
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 7: It's okay to embrace the fantasy.

609
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 3: Yes, it's okay to embrace the fantasy.

610
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 6: You watch Marvels, Yeah, I love that stuff.

611
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 3: I guess so deep sometimes in the series that it's

612
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 3: hard for me to convince myself that is a movie.

613
00:36:58,840 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 7: That's good though.

614
00:36:59,360 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 3: That's how you should.

615
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,040

Speaker 10: only woman.

630
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 1: Allowed at my husband's bachelor party.

631
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 11: Okay, So first of all, I had no idea what

632
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 11: was going on, but the boys went to all In.

633
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: Yes, his bachelor party was at all in In.

634
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 11: Okay, so all In is I'm so glad you asked. Yeah,

635
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 11: so thank you for asking. It is the biggest and

636
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 11: best independent wrestling show to ever be put on. This

637
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 11: was like the first little snippet of what would be

638
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 11: aw but we didn't know that at the time. It

639
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 11: was just the biggest independent show. It was in Chicago.

640
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 11: It was at the All State Arena, and that was

641
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 11: the first time that like indie wrestlers had filled up

642
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 11: an arena exactly.

643
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: And so they Jensen took a bunch of guys they

644
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: went all In.

645
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 11: It was a front row.

646
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: They sat front row, and then the entire group fell

647
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 1: in love with Chelsea and was like she's the coolest

648
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: and one of Jensen's friends, Nano, then secretly added her

649
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: to the weekends group the group chat. Yes, so she

650
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: was in the group chat.

651
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 4: That nickname or is he just really small?

652
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 11: But it isn't large.

653
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: Though, it's not a large man.

654
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 11: No, that we're discussing.

655
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: Not at this point. I'm sure he's happy we're talking

656
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: about that. He's a small man named Nano.

657
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 3: Okay. Checking.

658
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 1: And at that time you went by hot Mess Chelsea

659
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: Green was.

660
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 11: I was a little like, okay, this was man. There's

661
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 11: a lot to them at So at the beginning of

662
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 11: twenty seventeen, I had evolved into this hot Mess character

663
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 11: that was a jilted bride left at the old So

664
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 11: I led great. I wrestled in a wedding dress. Oh,

665
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 11: the wedding dress got dirtier and dirtier and shorter and shorter,

666
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 11: and I got more and more disheveled. My makeup was everywhere,

667
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 11: hair was everywhere, and I wrestled barefoot. It was honestly, I.

668
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 4: Come, it's brilliant.

669
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 11: So it was like a Wiki feet dream.

670
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: Yes, there you go, exactly. You probably have more Wiki

671
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: feet pictures than I did.

672
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 11: I bet I do, maybe well maybe. So then when

673
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 11: I got asked to do all in, I'm like, what

674
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 11: can I do? That's different? That people haven't seen. This

675
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 11: could be the start of like the next kind of

676
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 11: iteration of this character. So I really I just watched

677
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 11: Split with James McAvoy. I was obsessed with a Split

678
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 11: personality and no one was letting me do it. So

679
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 11: I'm like, I'm gonna do it all in. So I

680
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 11: had gear that was half like a hot girl diva

681
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 11: moment and then half a bride a bride left of

682
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 11: the altar, and then this side of my face was

683
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 11: like the makeup was crazy, this side.

684
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 6: Was good hair dish.

685
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 11: It was so much fun. So when they saw me,

686
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 11: it was like a drunk girl wrestling. Wow, it was

687
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 11: all over the place. It was a lot. There was

688
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 11: a lot going on, lot going on, and I didn't

689
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 11: really know what I was doing, but like I knew

690
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 11: I was having fun, and I knew in this match

691
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 11: probably everyone was going to look the same except me. Yeah,

692
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 11: we'll we wear a bunch of brunette girls. Like, what's different.

693
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 11: We're all four white brunette girls, five ot eight. There's

694
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 11: not much there other than that. So I just kind

695
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 11: of like took a little chance, came out to kind

696
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 11: of crazy rock wedding music, and that was the beginning

697
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 11: of then the split personality.

698
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 1: Jeez, I love it so much.

699
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:44,439
Speaker 11: It's so great.

700
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:45,439
Speaker 4: Okay, wait, I have a question.

701
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 2: When you're designing the wedding dress to wrestle in, is

702
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 2: it function over style? Can you still wrestle while you're

703
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: wearing a wedding dress? How did that work?

704
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 11: The problem with wrestling is like you don't know what

705
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 11: next week is going to bring. So when I wore

706
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 11: this wedding dress, we had no idea that I was

707
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 11: going to be wrestling in it for the next year.

708
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 11: So we just had a wedding dress. And in fact,

709
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,240
Speaker 11: the wedding dress was much more functional before we altered

710
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 11: it to make it sexy. So we were trying to

711
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 11: like add a little pizaz to it. So we cut

712
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 11: the sleeves off and we added like a key hole

713
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 11: right here.

714
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 1: Boys won't know, but yeah, I get it.

715
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 11: And then I ended up having to wrestle in it

716
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 11: for a year, and we kind of had to slowly

717
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 11: start figuring out ways to keep it on and in tact. Yeah,

718
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 11: and you know, I had also never wrestled barefoot, Like

719
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 11: it's not exactly natural to be jumping around with no

720
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 11: shoes on and no stability, so it was a whole Honestly,

721
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 11: it really changed the way I wrestled because instead of wrestling,

722
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 11: I started doing theater.

723
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: Right great and truly talk about iconic, you know, like

724
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: at least when you look back on it and you're like, Okay,

725
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: I can't believe I was able to do it, but

726
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: no one else was doing that.

727
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 11: I was also single when I started doing that, and

728
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 11: that was really terrifying to me because I'm like, no

729
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 11: one is gonna date me. I'm really not gonna nobody

730
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 11: is going to date me. So I had just gone

731
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 11: on my first date with my husband, and I'm like,

732
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 11: and now, oh my god, I'm going on live TV

733
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 11: and I'm gonna like embarrass him and everyone's gonna talk

734
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 11: about this. And they did, but in such an amazing way,

735
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 11: Like I'll never forget when Randy Orton went up to

736
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 11: him in the locker room in front of all the

737
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 11: boys and was like, what the is this? This is incredible,

738
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 11: this is so crazy. Nobody's doing this.

739
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: He's doing this and I can't believe that's your woman.

740
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 11: And then he married me, and I was just as

741
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 11: much of a hot mess at the wedding.

742
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: So the hot mess is your version of engagement? Chicken?

743
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 2: I have a question from a wrestling standpoint, if you

744
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 2: wrestle barefoot, is that also a weakness?

745
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 4: Can they like footstomp you and stuff like that?

746
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, they can do anything. And also just like the

747
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 11: thought of having your dogs out like the on that

748
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 11: nasty canvas, like after the boys have been their sledding.

749
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, he knows what fluids are on that canvas.

750
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 11: I could name a couple, okay, yeah, yeah.

751
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: We don't want to do that. So guys, Chelsea is

752
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: from Victoria, British Columbia, so it's possible Boy Meets World

753
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: didn't get to you. Did you watch Boy Meets World?

754
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: Or were you degrassy?

755
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 3: No?

756
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 11: So it okay? No, I was not degrassy okay at all?

757
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 11: And in fact, I was shocked to learn that Drake

758
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 11: was on de Grassy like I that was how That's

759
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 11: how annected I was. I was a family channel girl,

760
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 11: so I kind of watched a little bit of everything,

761
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 11: but I wasn't a TV household. Like we're on the

762
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 11: West Coast. Yeah we're always outdoors hiking and everything. But

763
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 11: now I'm very like nostalgic about all things nineties two thousand's.

764
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,959
Speaker 11: So I've gone back now and watched so yes, yes,

765
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 11: but I think that's better.

00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, So retroactively, what's your favorite ninety shi?

767
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:00,760
Speaker 3: Oh?

Speaker 2: And it's the cast of Friends on Survivor, it's a

775
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:21,919

785
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 11: I mean definitely Zach Morris Okay, and you know that's

786
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 11: what my husband named himself after. Zach Ryder from w

787
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 11: B is a Zach Morris reference. Yes, so that's an

788
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 11: interesting one.

789
00:45:58,960 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 7: No.

790
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 11: You know what I kind of started maybe thinking about

791
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 11: like crushes and stuff when like the Jonas Brothers Popped Popped.

792
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 7: Off which Jonas did you?

793
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 11: I mean, I think everyone was Joe until until you

794
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 11: got older, and then it shifts.

795
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 3: I don't know why I asked.

796
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what the Jonas brothers are, but I

797
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 2: mean I've heard of the Jonas brothers, but I don't

798
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 2: if you like, how many brothers.

799
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: Are the fourth there's a bonus Jonas, but he's not

800
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: in the He's not in the group, so he's the

801
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: bonus Jonas.

802
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 2: He's the young you imagine being the fourth Jonas brother

803
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 2: who isn't in the.

804
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: And honestly, even the nickname bonus Jonas, there was like

805
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: time it was a little offensive.

806
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, seriously, dude, pick up the cowbell, play a triangle.

807
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 6: I mean, sus in the band?

808
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 3: How hard is that? Oh? Man, No, that.

809
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 11: Would be really sad. If he also had no musical skills.

810
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 11: We don't know that. We don't know that.

811
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: I think he does.

812
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 5: He now has his own he's like on his he has.

813
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: His own musical career.

814
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 3: So the.

815
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: Bonus.

816
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 11: I can't wait to google the bonus Jonas.

817
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I can't wait to google wiki feet. I

818
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 2: still don't know. I still don't entirely know what it is.

819
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 2: I know Daniel's big out on.

820
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 3: No riders actually have.

821
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 4: More feet more. My feet are disgusting.

822
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 8: I never want to be barefoot ever in life, Like

823
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 8: I hate it, Like I wear boots like this is

824
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 8: this is me at the beach right. But but for

825
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 8: whatever reason, I have more wicked feet entries than he does.

826
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 2: It does it is He's got the feet that can

827
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 2: bring the ring to Mortor and save us all.

828
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 11: I've got very long toes, So I feel that I

829
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 11: that's the thing.

830
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, I have nothing.

831
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 2: I keep submitting him. They keep sending them back. It's weird,

832
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 2: like we don't need this, We're good, thank you.

833
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,760
Speaker 11: I just fun fact, Black China makes like a million

834
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 11: dollars a month off her feet. Wow, so there's a market.

835
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:53,280
Speaker 3: She was our neighbor.

836
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 7: She was literally our neighbor.

837
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: Literally, So you really paid your dues in what is

838
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: called indie wrestling, which I am a big supporter of.

839
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: And this means you're performing around the country in small

840
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: local events outside of a major company, which because of

841
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 1: the WWE Performance Center, is now not as common as

842
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: it used to be.

843
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 5: What do you think you learned because of your indie roots?

844
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 11: Oh my gosh, I mean how to perform for five people,

845
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 11: how to make the most out of absolutely nothing, how

846
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 11: to travel properly, how to come up with matches in

847
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 11: two seconds and work on the fly, And I mean

848
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 11: it was it.

849
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 4: Did you literally wrestle for five people?

850
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 3: I mean, was there was?

851
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:41,760
Speaker 7: They were that small?

852
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 11: And actually it was. I would say probably three times

853
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 11: I wrestled for five people, and there's yeah, so much harder.

854
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 11: It is so much harder. And I realized that it

855
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 11: really like came to light when I had my first

856
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 11: WrestleMania and I walked out and I'm like, oh, this

857
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 11: is so much easier in front of eighty thousand people

858
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 11: than it is in front of twenty five. Like you

859
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 11: just you hear everything that they're thinking. They're saying it

860
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 11: out loud, You're hearing it. Do you see you look

861
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 11: at them in the eyes, which is kind of like.

862
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: You can look at each one of them, and yeah,

863
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: it's very scary.

864
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 11: It's very scary. You just Indie Wrestling has taught me wrestling,

865
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 11: and now I'm just now I'm just performing. Now, I'm

866
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 11: just like on autopilot, just like having fun. Yeah, And

867
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 11: I really have so much respect for everyone who wasn't

868
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 11: on the indies for a long time, I was all

869
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 11: like bitter Like some people they didn't have to do

870
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 11: any of that, they didn't have to fight to get here. No,

871
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 11: everyone had a different fight to get there, to get spotted, right.

872
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 11: And then also it's like now I realize I learned

873
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 11: everything on the indies and then just took it and

874
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 11: performed at ww whereas everyone else that came through the

875
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 11: performance center like they're scratching and clawing to get on

876
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 11: TV while trying to learn how to wrestle exactly, and

877
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 11: I just couldn't do that. The pressure is too much,

878
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:06,359
Speaker 11: that's way too much.

879
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:07,839
Speaker 4: Well, I mean that's like any performer, you know.

880
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 2: The great performers are the ones who started in small

881
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 2: theater and started on stage and built up. Yeah, and

882
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 2: then when they get to the they've they've earned it

883
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 2: on the way up.

884
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 11: And if he earned.

885
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: Every little over night success, yeah right, yeah overnight.

886
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

887
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 11: This is something I really experienced this year, and not

888
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 11: even just with this title, but also all of a sudden,

889
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 11: a match from twenty eighteen or nineteen versus Pentagon came

890
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 11: to light and now Pentagon is at WWE, and everyone's like,

891
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 11: oh my god, she can do this and then I'm like,

892
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 11: I've been doing this since twenty fourteen, what do you mean? Yeah,

893
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 11: I mean I'll accept it. I'll take I'll take it all.

894
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 11: But it's like no, no, no, no, you can go

895
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 11: back on YouTube and exactly I've been trying to.

896
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: Do the selling to get here. Yes, so you eventually

897
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: ended up in Luca Underground as Reclusa, a hardcore intergender

898
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:06,280
Speaker 1: bat so she wrestled due Crazy and now.

899
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 11: The Fighter like the Yeah, I was a spidery dark character.

900
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 1: And now with Penta in the WWE, do you ever

901
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:19,399
Speaker 1: think you'll cross paths?

902
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 11: I hope not. I hope to god not. That was

903
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 11: the most amazing, Like it would be like making a

904
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 11: sequel to the most perfectly made movie that there ever was.

905
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 11: And I know everyone keeps saying they want to see it,

906
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 11: and I totally understand that. I also understand that right

907
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 11: now I'm the comedic relief of WW and they want

908
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 11: to see like that serious side back, right, but like

909
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 11: this is how wrestling works, like we evolve. I'm not

910
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 11: in that phase of my life anymore. And that was

911
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 11: such a perfect storm of like I just went there

912
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 11: for a quick extra match and they asked me to

913
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 11: play this little part, and this little part turned into recluse.

914
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:03,280
Speaker 11: That was so pivotal in that moment, and the match

915
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 11: was one of the best matches I've ever had, and

916
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 11: the crowd was amazing. It was like gritty and in

917
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 11: downtown La, off of skid Row, Like it was just

918
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 11: this like nasty, dark venue, and you just can't recreate that, right,

919
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 11: And you definitely can't recreate it in WWE. It's not

920
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 11: the same. It's not the same. And the storylines that

921
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 11: we had were so theatrical in Luca underground and gritty

922
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,879
Speaker 11: and dark, and it's it's just not the same. So

923
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 11: I don't want to revisit it. I want everyone to

924
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 11: remember that moment. And you know what, Pentagon has asked

925
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 11: me a couple of times, like are we gonna are

926
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 11: we gonna run it back? And I'm like.

927
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 7: No, yeah, yeah.

928
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 4: No, smartink, it's smart right, don't let it.

929
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 11: Don't try because you know what will happen. They'll all

930
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 11: on it.

931
00:52:56,040 --> 00:53:00,839
Speaker 1: Yeah right, exactly, right exactly, people begging for it will

932
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: then be bumbed it happened.

933
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 11: I know how this works, exactly.

934
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: This is your first rodeo.

935
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 4: What I Reclusa got left at the altar.

936
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 11: Oh, well, that would be crazy, That's what I mean.

937
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 1: Then, it's just.

938
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 11: That would definitely be yeah. And you know what, Also,

939
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 11: I wore a very very very tiny outfit in Luke Underground.

940
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 11: I also don't need to revisit that.

941
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: Your journey to WWE also had some false starts. You

942
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,760
Speaker 1: played extras, finished fourth on Tough Enough, went to NXT,

943
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: then smacked down for a year, and then you got released,

944
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 1: only to be rehired by WWE two years later.

945
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:41,919
Speaker 5: Did you always think you'd be coming back?

946
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 11: Yes, you knew it. I knew the minute they fired me.

947
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 11: So I got a call about three minutes before I

948
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 11: was fired from my husband saying you're about to get fired.

949
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:51,760
Speaker 2: Wow.

950
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 11: I just got a text like Chelsea's going to be called,

951
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 11: like she's like next on the list. So he gave

952
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 11: me the heads up and I'm very thankful. I'm not

953
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 11: an emotional person, so like I wouldn't have cried or

954
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 11: flew off the handle, but it just gave me a

955
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 11: split second to like yeah. So when they called me,

956
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 11: I was like, Okay, thank you. You know, hopefully I'll

957
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 11: see you in the future. And then I was like, oh,

958
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 11: I wrote down a list of to do's. This is

959
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 11: what I'm gonna do this, these are the places I

960
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 11: want to wrestle at, and kind of the accomplishments that

961
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 11: I didn't accomplish before. On my first indie run, I

962
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 11: wrote that list out. I started contacting them. I asked

963
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 11: WWE if they would let me go earlier. We have

964
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 11: like a ninety day clause. I asked them to release

965
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 11: me at sixty days. I took the pay cut, and

966
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,280
Speaker 11: I was the first one out there on the indies,

967
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 11: and I hit all these I hit the list, and

968
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 11: then I came back mant but like, also, you know,

969
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 11: I am a very upfront person. Like people may think

970
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 11: I'm abrasive when I ask questions, but like I'm just

971
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 11: asking you a question because I feel like you'll just

972
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 11: answer it instead of beating around the bush. So I

973
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,439
Speaker 11: just texted Hunter and asked for my job back. What's

974
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:01,359
Speaker 11: the worst you can say?

975
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 6: Right?

976
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 7: No?

977
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 10: Right?

978
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: Exactly?

979
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 11: Who cares? So he says, no, Okay, Well I'm surviving,

980
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 11: I'm making money, I'm paying my bills. I'm fine. But

981
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 11: like if he doesn't know why I want to come back.

982
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: How absolutely absolutely? Sitting around hoping for a phone call

983
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: versus picking up the phone yourself.

984
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 11: And I have always asked for a job at WWE,

985
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 11: so I'm not changing my tune now. And you know,

986
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 11: for so long I got ripped apart on the Internet

987
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 11: for like telling, like letting people know that I was

988
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 11: asking for things, I was pitching things, I was coming

989
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 11: up with all these crazy ideas, and the Internet was like,

990
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 11: you're delusional. But like, that's why I'm here right with

991
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 11: this exactly because I just put it out there and

992
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 11: I'm not embarrassed.

993
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 1: So smart honestly, especially like I don't mean to make

994
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 1: this a gendered thing, but I know women especially I

995
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: feel in my experience because I have dealt with it myself.

996
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: I'll just speak from personal experience. Letting people know you

997
00:55:56,680 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 1: want something, you're asking for it. There is for some

998
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: reason it feels more desperate if you're a woman doing

999
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:08,959
Speaker 1: it versus a man being like, this is what I want,

1000
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: this is what I'm going after. And so to hear

1001
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 1: you say that one is just so inspiring and like

1002
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: such a good message.

1003
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 7: Women are nags, right, That's what it comes down to.

1004
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 7: It's like that's not accurate.

1005
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 11: It was very interesting. I've I've had a lot of

1006
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 11: ups and downs with with Twitter, and I've obviously.

1007
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: Learned on Twitter it's shocking.

1008
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 11: Well, let me tell you something. I'm I'm in an

1009
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 11: up part right now, and it's terrifying.

1010
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, because you know the crashes.

1011
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 11: Of course, because I was canceled two years ago. I

1012
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 11: could have saved a puppy from drowning and they would

1013
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 11: have canceled me. So it's just like, at this point,

1014
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,760
Speaker 11: I don't care what you think about me. I'm I'm

1015
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 11: more than happy in my life and I go home

1016
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 11: and I don't think about anything to do with work

1017
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 11: or social media, and like, it's great, but it takes

1018
00:56:58,600 --> 00:56:59,439
Speaker 11: a while to get there.

1019
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 1: And Will is speaking from experience as well. Will is

1020
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: almost fifty years old and is just now getting to it.

1021
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 2: There's a great quote that's care what people think of you,

1022
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 2: and you'll forever be their prisoner that So I just

1023
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 2: came to the point where I don't care exactly.

1024
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 11: If you believe the hype, then you have to believe

1025
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 11: they hate too. So I'm not going to believe anything

1026
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 11: because I didn't believe it when they were canceling me,

1027
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 11: so I'm not going to believe it when they think

1028
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 11: all of a sudden, all of a sudden, Now my

1029
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 11: pitches are amazing, and I'm right, I'm the smartest person. No, no, no,

1030
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 11: because you canceled me two years ago for those pitches.

1031
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, Wow, well thank you for that. If you

1032
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: had to book your own dream WrestleMania match, who are

1033
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: you facing? Are there any stipulations? And is my husband's

00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:45,400

1035
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 6: Oh?

1036
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 4: Oh yeah?

1037
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 11: Because they I mean they made all in with their

1038
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 11: they were crazy, they were.

1039
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 1: You have no idea how much fun they had. It

1040
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: was the great. It was literally the time of his life.

1041
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm still in the group chat. I'm sure

1042
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: I go through my through my text messages.

1043
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 11: And find it.

1044
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: When you're done here, send send the group.

1045
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 4: You are kicked out of the Montel Jordan text. Nobody anymore.

00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 11: Okay, So they'd be front row. It would be in Canada.

Speaker 1: Great. I mean, even though you're wearing the US A jersey.

1050
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 11: To you know, I'm a I'm a patriototty okay, but

1051
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 11: I claim everywhere, great claim everywhere.

Speaker 7: You know.

1053
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 11: I think I think I would do a very Canadian match,

1054
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 11: a triple threat myself verse Natty versus Trish in Canada,

1055

Speaker 4: That literally, I will be planning.

1057
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: That's it.

1058
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,479
Speaker 11: I think that would be like the ultimate Canadian moment.

1059
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 11: But also I have to say, I have like been
