Speaker 1: have her on to talk to her today, the Queen
Speaker 1: of Victory. Fancy, Good morning, Good morning, very long intro
Speaker 1: for you there, Sorry it was very long. I thought
Speaker 1: the show was over by the time you had done. Yes,
Speaker 1: So how are they Francine, It's been a minute since
Speaker 1: you and I have seen each other. Yeah, we haven't
Speaker 1: really talked much last week. I haven't really wanted to
Speaker 1: talk to anyone this week. I did a lot, a
Speaker 1: lot of text messaging. A lot of damning has been
Speaker 1: going on. So for for those of you who don't
Speaker 1: know Shannon Sproul Daphne, she committed suicide last week on
Speaker 1: September second, and I I you know, I talked about
Speaker 1: it on the last show. I just told a little
Speaker 1: bit of the story. You know, I've been I've been
Speaker 1: sitting here last week trying to think of what could
Speaker 1: have been going through her mind, like at that the
Speaker 1: final moments, if you go back like a month, that
Speaker 1: was our actual like the longest conversation before she died, right,
Speaker 1: and it was a good one. It was a good one.
Speaker 1: We would have conversations and some days they would be
Speaker 1: great and I would let her know, this was a
Speaker 1: great conversation. You made me very happy today. If it
Speaker 1: was a sad conversation, I would always end it with
Speaker 1: you know, I'm always here for you. I love you.
Speaker 1: A lot of crying would happen. This one, there wasn't
Speaker 1: much crying. She had just started working for a elderly
Speaker 1: couple as a caregiver and the gentleman that she was
Speaker 1: working for was kind of starting to lose it. She
Speaker 1: wasn't sure if it was dementia or Alzheimer's, but the wife,
Speaker 1: I believe they were in their seventies and the wife
Speaker 1: still worked. So Shannon took on a lot of the
Speaker 1: responsibilities for the gentleman, and she would also help the wife,
Speaker 1: like if they needed to pack for a trip, get
Speaker 1: his medications, take him to an appointment, stuff like that.
Speaker 1: And she was spending a lot of time with this gentleman,
Speaker 1: and it was filling a void for her because she
Speaker 1: was so lonely and she had friends like she you know,
Speaker 1: she had me, she had other girlfriends, but none of
Speaker 1: us lived near her, so she was always alone, right,
Speaker 1: And she was thinking about moving in with this couple,
Speaker 1: and because they offered her a full time position and
Speaker 1: they said, you can, you know, live with us, and
Speaker 1: her situation at the time, she had a roommate and
Speaker 1: she was living in this big house, but gentleman who
Speaker 1: owned the house wanted to sell it, so she wasn't
Speaker 1: sure where she was going to end up. And she
Speaker 1: was on edge about that because she's like, you know,
Speaker 1: where am I going to live? And all this stuff.
Speaker 1: So I found a sense of comfort that she had
Speaker 1: this couple wi over her, so to speak, and she
Speaker 1: was finally going to have somewhere stable to live. She
Speaker 1: wasn't going to be bounced around. She had a steady
Speaker 1: income for once, you know, seemed optimistic. She was scared,
Speaker 1: but she was also very optimistic. And I found a
Speaker 1: sense of comfort in that. And we talked about it
Speaker 1: at length, and she was very she was happy. She
Speaker 1: was she was it was a good day. It was
Speaker 1: it was a great conversation. She was very happy, and
Speaker 1: we always ended it with I love you, Chicky, I
Speaker 1: love you too. That's how we always ended our conversations.
Speaker 1: And that's the last time we actually talked. And then
Speaker 1: life goes on, and two weeks went by and I realized,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I haven't talked to Shannon. And I
Speaker 1: called her and she didn't take the call, and she
Speaker 1: texted me back and she just said it's she said
Speaker 1: something like, it's very icky here. I'm not doing well.
Speaker 1: And I just said, well, when you have a chance,
Speaker 1: call me back and we'll talk. And that was the
Speaker 1: last message I got from her. And so another two
Speaker 1: weeks to go by. And here's the thing about Shannon
Speaker 1: and my relationship. I know when she's having a good day,
Speaker 1: and I know when she's having a bad day. And
Speaker 1: when she used to have her bad days, I always
Speaker 1: gave her her space. I always because sometimes she didn't
Speaker 1: want to talk. And when she did want to talk,
Speaker 1: it would be constant crying. But I would just be
Speaker 1: either listening or we'd be on video and we'd just
Speaker 1: be there for each other, you know, And I would
Speaker 1: listen and it would be for hours, and she would
Speaker 1: just sit there and cry. So I knew when I
Speaker 1: texted her if she didn't want to talk to me
Speaker 1: at this time, she would call when she was ready.
Speaker 1: And two weeks went by again she hadn't called, and
Speaker 1: I yeh like it was. It was a little strange
Speaker 1: because I would at least get a text message from her.
Speaker 1: I got nothing. And the day that Wednesday of last week,
Speaker 1: before I wait, hours before the IG thing happened, I
Speaker 1: shot her a text and I just told her I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about you, you know, and I want you to
Speaker 1: know that I love you and whatever I said. And
Speaker 1: I don't even know if she read that, you know,
Speaker 1: that was like in the afternoon sometime. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know if she read it. She never got that
Speaker 1: same day, it was, yeah, it was the same day
Speaker 1: before the IG thing happened. So it was it was
Speaker 1: like mid afternoon maybe something. And then that night I
Speaker 1: was just I was sitting, I was with the kids
Speaker 1: and we were just sitting, you know. It was like
Speaker 1: I don't know, seven eight thirty something like that. I
Speaker 1: don't know what time it was, and I get a
Speaker 1: text message you have to go on IG. Shannon's on there,
Speaker 1: and I said, well, what is she doing? Oh, she's
Speaker 1: talking about killing herself. So I started to panic, started
Speaker 1: to panic. I started to shake. I couldn't even like
Speaker 1: tap the IG button like, I was shaking so bad.
Speaker 1: And when I got in there, I just I saw her.
Speaker 1: It was her, but it it wasn't her like it
Speaker 1: what I was watching just didn't. It didn't seem real
Speaker 1: to me. It looked like she she had such a
Speaker 1: haze like her face just looked glazed over to me.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't the Shannon that I knew because I could.
Speaker 1: I always talked her down, always talked her down. And
Speaker 1: this time I watched, I watched the numbers go up
Speaker 1: and up and up. So people must have been saying, oh,
Speaker 1: Daphne's trying to kill herself. You know that. That bothers
Speaker 1: me so much because when that girl do a live
Speaker 1: but she had eight people in there. I remember, I
Speaker 1: remember you saying that to me before were nobody watching her,
Speaker 1: And now because she threatens to kill herself, everybody wants
Speaker 1: to jump on board. Where where were all these people? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean we've joked about that, you know, we've joked
Speaker 1: about that too. I'm sorry I said we joked about
Speaker 1: that too, where you know, it's like you you you
Speaker 1: could put a call out, say hey, why don't you
Speaker 1: join me, let's chat, let's this, that nobody responds to it.
Speaker 1: But something like this happens, and yeah, it was like
Speaker 1: the phone went nuts. I mean I was getting nine
Speaker 1: thousand text messages about it just to see what was
Speaker 1: going on. It was. It was unfortunate that exactly what
Speaker 1: you just said, do you go on live and would
Speaker 1: be would be eight people, ten people, and then this
Speaker 1: and it blows up. Yeah, there there was no And
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not sitting here saying she didn't have
Speaker 1: people who loved her. That's not That's not what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to say, right, No, understand, Iri to launch a
Speaker 1: YouTube channel. She tried to launch her Twitch channel, and
Speaker 1: she nobody watched her. And now she says, you know,
Speaker 1: she's talking about her lance ball and testament and the
Speaker 1: numbers like she had over thirteen hundred people watching her
Speaker 1: at her darkest hour. And so you know, I noticed
Speaker 1: some of the boys were in there. And when I
Speaker 1: say boys, girls are included in that too, because you know,
Speaker 1: we were all frantically just typing and calling and her
Speaker 1: phone was going off. I mean I could hear I know,
Speaker 1: I know what her text message of sounds like, because
Speaker 1: I mean, she's been at my house several times. I've
Speaker 1: been in the room. I heard it going off. I
Speaker 1: heard it going I heard it ringing. I was calling.
Speaker 1: So many people were in that room. I started to
Speaker 1: type in caps, and I know that's annoying, but I thought,
Speaker 1: maybe if I type in caps, maybe her eyes will
Speaker 1: say it. She'll say something, she'll realize I'm here. And
Speaker 1: she was leaning in and she was swinting, and she
Speaker 1: was reading, and she's like, oh, you're all y'all so nice,
Speaker 1: y'all are so nice, and that's all she said. She
Speaker 1: never I didn't hear her mention any of our names.
Speaker 1: She just said, y'all are so nice. And then she
Speaker 1: turned around and she said, do you people realize that
Speaker 1: I'm all alone? And that just got me. And then
Speaker 1: the feed kept cutting out and she kept coming back,
Speaker 1: and every time she would come back, I would click
Speaker 1: back on. And we were trying and she had a
Speaker 1: relative in the room. I'm not going to say who
Speaker 1: it was, but there was a relative in the room,
Speaker 1: and I just kept saying, go tell your parents. Go
Speaker 1: tell your parents, you know, I don't. I reached out
Speaker 1: to the roommate because I thought she was still living
Speaker 1: with the roommate, and here everybody tells me, no, she
Speaker 1: moved a week ago. Now. She never told me this,
Speaker 1: and to me, I was supposed to be one of
Speaker 1: her best friends. She never told me, so that broke
Speaker 1: my heart that other people knew and I didn't know
Speaker 1: she had moved into like a one bedroom studio like
Speaker 1: a week before this happened. She never I didn't know this,
Speaker 1: so I was in the dark about that. Kept calling
Speaker 1: and finally the feed cut out and I think either
Speaker 1: someone reported her or Instagram found out and they wouldn't
Speaker 1: let her go live again. So then I started panicking
Speaker 1: and I went over on Facebook Messenger to see if
Speaker 1: she was on there, and she was. It said she was,
Speaker 1: It said active. And I got a sense of calmness
Speaker 1: because I said, well, maybe somebody got a hold of
Speaker 1: her and she's talking to somebody. You know, now I'm
Speaker 1: doing this, well, I'm talking to about thirty people on
Speaker 1: the side. Everybody's sending me messages and texting me, and
Speaker 1: I mean, I I didn't know what else to do.
Speaker 1: When we were in the IG people were sending the police.
Speaker 1: That was another thing. They had an old address where
Speaker 1: they wasn't We didn't know what her new address was
Speaker 1: because she had just moved a week ago, so I
Speaker 1: don't know at what point they got a hold of
Speaker 1: her parents. But I didn't go to bed that night
Speaker 1: until IMA was midnight, and I had to take a
Speaker 1: lot of melotonin to sleep because I was just I
Speaker 1: was talking to people, I was crying, I was nervous.
Speaker 1: But before I went to sleep, I had checked the
Speaker 1: Facebook messager again and she was still on there. It
Speaker 1: said she was still on there, so I said, okay, fine.
Speaker 1: Woke up in the middle of the night. I checked.
Speaker 1: It said she was on like forty four minutes ago,
Speaker 1: so I said, okay. Now, somebody in the chat said
Speaker 1: she was drinking, so I thought, well, maybe she just
Speaker 1: came down, you know from the she got sober, and
Speaker 1: maybe she just passed out. Went to sleep, so I
Speaker 1: fell back to sleep. I woke up the next morning,
Speaker 1: like I usually do, I went on there. It said
Speaker 1: she was active two hours ago. I said, okay, I
Speaker 1: went downstairs. I talked to a couple people. Nobody heard
Speaker 1: anything at this point, and then another good friend of hers,
Speaker 1: Lexi Feiffe, had sent me a message and she's the
Speaker 1: one that told me that her parents founder and it
Speaker 1: was too late. So from the report that I read,
Speaker 1: the cops went to the house, but they couldn't get
Speaker 1: in at first because of the door, something dead bulled
Speaker 1: on the door or something. But they didn't hear anybody
Speaker 1: there and they left. Now I don't know if Shannon's
Speaker 1: car was not there at this point, because the second
Speaker 1: report said when they went back a couple hours later,
Speaker 1: her car was in the parking lot, So I don't
Speaker 1: know if her car wasn't there the first time and
Speaker 1: they just thought that she wasn't home. I don't know
Speaker 1: if she had left house and then went back, you know,
Speaker 1: in that two hours, if they would have broke the
Speaker 1: door down the first time, would they have saved her? Right? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, if somebody is suicidal and you can't get
Speaker 1: the door down, don't you do everything to get the
Speaker 1: freaking door down? How do you leave? I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I was so confused because, oh, we they thought no
Speaker 1: one was there, so they left, and then when they
Speaker 1: went back a couple of hours later with her parents
Speaker 1: this time, that's when they found their you know, dead
Speaker 1: on her bed and h but the thing was in
Speaker 1: when she was on ig I didn't notice this. But
Speaker 1: afterwards one of my friends sent me a screenshot and
Speaker 1: she was holding the gun and I didn't see it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't see that in whatever I had seen too,
Speaker 1: I did not see the gun. I didn't see it.
Speaker 1: And then the picture she showed me, you know where
Speaker 1: it was held years ago. Years ago, she had a
Speaker 1: gun and I'm wondering if it was the same one.
Speaker 1: And she was dating the guy and the guy had
Speaker 1: called me and said, Shannon took off and she has
Speaker 1: her gun with her. And I remember calling her and
Speaker 1: I talked her down. She was at a gas station
Speaker 1: and I said, do you have a gun? And she
Speaker 1: said yes, and I said, you need to go back home.
Speaker 1: You know, so and so was waiting for you. And
Speaker 1: I mean it was a close one that at that time,
Speaker 1: and I honestly thought, you know, either she got ready
Speaker 1: or she put it away somewhere, like I don't know
Speaker 1: why she had it. I don't know why. I don't
Speaker 1: I wish he would have taken it away from her.
Speaker 1: But she she thought about suicide before this. I mean
Speaker 1: she at one point she was looking up nooses. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, it was yeah. But this this was when
Speaker 1: that incident happened a couple of years ago, and she
Speaker 1: was in you know, I thought she was in a
Speaker 1: better place. And it's no lie. She was bipolar, she
Speaker 1: was manic, depressant. She had issues, but most times she
Speaker 1: can control them, you know. And I to this day,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just don't know what she was
Speaker 1: thinking that. Somebody told me that she had said she
Speaker 1: distanced it herself from her her animals because she thought
Speaker 1: it would be easier to leave if she wasn't as
Speaker 1: close to them anymore, because really her dog and her
Speaker 1: cat was all she had, you know. And when I
Speaker 1: said that to my husband, he said, she did the
Speaker 1: same thing to you. She disted herself from me as well.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was easier for her to leave me without telling.
Speaker 1: I knew what was wrong, I knew she had she
Speaker 1: musn't have a plan in her mind, and I honestly
Speaker 1: don't think any of us could have changed it. But
Speaker 1: I wish I would have had the chance to try.
Speaker 1: Maybe I could have helped her. I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, you I mean you know, I at
Speaker 1: the end of the last tribute that you did, I
Speaker 1: put her episode on where she came with came out
Speaker 1: with us. And it's a long, long, fun, you know,
Speaker 1: up and down conversation and talked about dark stuff, but
Speaker 1: talked about light stuff. It was fun and then some
Speaker 1: start some spots was heavy. But I saw the bond
Speaker 1: that you guys had and you you know, you always
Speaker 1: talked about her, you always, and I knew was this
Speaker 1: special friendship. So you're you know, your husband's one hundred
Speaker 1: percent right, more than you know, more than likely, and
Speaker 1: that's that's tough. And I just I can't imagine, you know,
Speaker 1: what you're going through with it. I've never lost anybody
Speaker 1: that close to me. Yeah, and uh, especially in such
Speaker 1: a public manner as it's devastating, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: let me let me ask you, if you don't mind,
Speaker 1: what do you So we talked about the people in
Speaker 1: the room, you know, maybe people not showing up before,
Speaker 1: what about the outpouring afterwards and all the people that
Speaker 1: have come forward to discuss their relationships with her and
Speaker 1: how much they you know, appreciated her sometimes, I mean,
Speaker 1: and this is just a skeptics I and I love
Speaker 1: that they're talking about her in such a positive light,
Speaker 1: because that's what you have to do, especially somebody with
Speaker 1: mental illness. You can't blame them. It's they can't control it.
Speaker 1: But where were a lot of these people before? And
Speaker 1: I hate to say that, but I mean it was.
Speaker 1: The response was off the charts amazing. And the seen
Speaker 1: matches I'd never seen before, pictures I'd never seen before.
Speaker 1: WWE ranographic for her, aw ranographic, Impact Impact Ranographic. But
Speaker 1: where was a lot of this stuff before? And I
Speaker 1: hate to say that in retrospect, she you know, she
Speaker 1: loved wrestling. Wrestling became her passion. She started out as
Speaker 1: an actress and she she got the gig in w
Speaker 1: CW throw in acting right, yes, And she she was
Speaker 1: athletic before, she played soccer and all this stuff, and
Speaker 1: she just fell in love with the sport. When she
Speaker 1: got injured and you know, the doctor told her you
Speaker 1: can't perform anymore, that crushed her. At that point. You know,
Speaker 1: she she didn't know what she was going to do
Speaker 1: with her life, and she still thought she had a
Speaker 1: lot to give, uh, you know, professionally to wrestling. She
Speaker 1: told me, And and I don't think this came from
Speaker 1: jealousy at all. But she would tell me that she
Speaker 1: couldn't watch her friends when you know, her friends that
Speaker 1: are in the business on television and stuff, because it
Speaker 1: bothered her that she couldn't be there, that she couldn't
Speaker 1: do it, and she was happy for those who were working.
Speaker 1: So when I say, you know, I don't think it
Speaker 1: was so much jealousy. I really think that she was
Speaker 1: happy and proud of what everybody was doing, but it
Speaker 1: bothered her that she couldn't do it right. And I
Speaker 1: remember one time I did an interview I think it
Speaker 1: was with like Alicia Tute or something for YouTube. I
Speaker 1: did you know, and she goes, I'll never forget she
Speaker 1: told me. She goes, I saw your your clip with Alicia.
Speaker 1: She goes, you looked beautiful and I said, well, thank you.
Speaker 1: She goes, I had to turn it off and I
Speaker 1: said why, and she goes, because you looked so good.
Speaker 1: And I said, well, what the I don't get it.
Speaker 1: She said, because you you you always look good and
Speaker 1: I don't look good anymore, and I can't. I couldn't
Speaker 1: watch it, you know. And then like like we were
Speaker 1: in New York for Russel Khan and I can't tell
Speaker 1: you how many people said, this is you, what happened
Speaker 1: to you? Oh that's the I remember. That's terrible. And
Speaker 1: these people look like slobs. I mean no offense to anyone,
Speaker 1: but you know they're coming up in T shirts with
Speaker 1: their guts hanging out, and they have the nerve to
Speaker 1: say something to her. And you know, she cried that
Speaker 1: day and she said, I'm going to the bar and
Speaker 1: I said, no, you're not going to the bar. You're
Speaker 1: going to sit here and you're going to try and
Speaker 1: make money because that's what we're here for. And she
Speaker 1: literally had a breakdown. Who says that to somebody who
Speaker 1: it's so rude. It's just so rude. It's twenty years later.
Speaker 1: We've all changed, you know, some for the good, some
Speaker 1: not so good. But you don't you don't have to
Speaker 1: be so rude about it. And that that killed her,
Speaker 1: That killed her, and you know you talk about nobody
Speaker 1: being there for her. I just feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: when I posted stuff, I've had people say, yeah, I
Speaker 1: should have went to her stream, or I should have
Speaker 1: reached out, or I should have and now it's too late.
Speaker 1: You didn't and that's you didn't do it. She had
Speaker 1: good she had to me, she had good friends, but
Speaker 1: none of us were there, like we physically, we couldn't
Speaker 1: be there to hug her or hold her hand or
Speaker 1: tell her it's okay. And that's what she wanted, you know.
Speaker 1: And she she also wanted a relationship. She was lonely
Speaker 1: and she she knew she wasn't going to have any children,
Speaker 1: but she wanted, you know, a boyfriend. She wanted somebody
Speaker 1: to hang out with. She wanted close friends that she
Speaker 1: could be near. She didn't have any of that, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were planning a trip for her to come up
Speaker 1: and stay here for a while. Owl And I mean,
Speaker 1: there's only so much you can do when you live
Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds of miles from somebody. It was she
Speaker 1: from Georgia. She was you know, she lived in England,
Speaker 1: and she was a military brat, like okay, so she
Speaker 1: traveled a lot. But she'd been stationed in Georgia for
Speaker 1: a while. She had moved to Florida for a little
Speaker 1: bit and then came back to Georgia And I told her,
Speaker 1: what's keeping you there? Yeah, you know, and she just
Speaker 1: she wanted to go back to school. And then school
Speaker 1: didn't work out, and then she met that couple and
Speaker 1: got that job, and I just thought it was gonna
Speaker 1: get better for her. I really did. But the like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what happened within that last
Speaker 1: two weeks because I couldn't reach her, I couldn't get her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was the last thing. When when I saw you
Speaker 1: in Albany, when before you got the car, was as
Speaker 1: we're like, literally right before you ask I asked, had
Speaker 1: you talk to her? And you said, I just talked
Speaker 1: to her last week and you know, she's doing really well.
Speaker 1: It was like literally the last conversation we had before
Speaker 1: we got back to your house, and You're like, yeh,
Speaker 1: she's doing great. She got this gig. It's really good.
Speaker 1: Hopefully you know, everything goes well. That was the last time,
Speaker 1: you know, I guess you had talked. And that's tragic,
Speaker 1: that's horrible. Well, the tragic thing is the last time
Speaker 1: I saw her was that ig thing. Yeah, and it
Speaker 1: was it just it was a lot of babbles. It
Speaker 1: was a lot of half the time, I didn't know
Speaker 1: what the hell she was talking about, you know, and
Speaker 1: I'm trying to listen and I'm trying to get her attention.
Speaker 1: We all were, We all were, and it just it
Speaker 1: was so sad that it's a haunting image. It bothers you.
Speaker 1: I've been waking up in the middle of the night
Speaker 1: just seeing her. That's not the last thing I want
Speaker 1: to see. That wasn't the last image I wanted to
Speaker 1: see of her. I just I just wish we had
Speaker 1: one more conversation. Maybe I could have changed something. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Just I don't know. I just wish I
Speaker 1: knew what was going through her head. Just I keep
Speaker 1: telling myself minutes before she actually shot herself, like what
Speaker 1: was she thinking? Like she must't have felt so alone,
Speaker 1: and that's that's a horrible feeling. Like I look at
Speaker 1: my kids and I'm like, I never want them to
Speaker 1: feel that way. You know, she had no one there,
Speaker 1: just said, you know, And the one thing that is
Speaker 1: haunting about it to the outsider who looks at things
Speaker 1: her comments about ct and you know where that she
Speaker 1: wanted her brain to go to Boston and that's where
Speaker 1: they're studying, the CTE, the Chris Nowinsky Institute. That was chilling.
Speaker 1: And I mean that you know that part of it,
Speaker 1: I couldn't that's I mean, obviously again outsider. But that
Speaker 1: was the part that stuck with me, was just the
Speaker 1: wear and tear that it takes on some people in
Speaker 1: the injuries. But the CTE, it's bad. It's very bad,
Speaker 1: and it does cause it irrational thinking, and it's it's
Speaker 1: just it's it's just a tragic, tragic story. Everybody I
Speaker 1: talked to, they said, you wouldn't have changed her mind.
Speaker 1: Even if you got a hold of her, you wouldn't
Speaker 1: have changed her mind. Her mind was set. She knew
Speaker 1: what she was going to do. That's why she cut
Speaker 1: people off. She didn't want to be saved. To me,
Speaker 1: it looked like a cry for help when she was
Speaker 1: I mean, why why did she even go one ig?
Speaker 1: I don't that. I don't understand. So we were all
Speaker 1: just like, she wants help, she's out there, she's reaching out.
Speaker 1: But apparently it wasn't. It wasn't a cry for help.
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know why she went live that evening.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I just don't get it. I've
Speaker 1: been sick to my stomach over I've been trying to
Speaker 1: wrap my brain around what her reasoning was and I
Speaker 1: just can't. I can't. And today's the funeral and I
Speaker 1: can't be there. It just everything just bothers me. Right now,
Speaker 1: today's my sister's anniversary. You know, my dad's was like
Speaker 1: forty days ago. It just September sucks. I hate this
Speaker 1: month with a passion, and now Shannon's involved. But it's
Speaker 1: a lot. And if I swear to God, if I
Speaker 1: didn't have my kids here, I would have just I
Speaker 1: would have lost it every single day. But because my
Speaker 1: kids have been with me during the day, I've been right,
Speaker 1: I've been okay. But at night is when I start
Speaker 1: to think of things, and I just every single night
Speaker 1: I've been waking up in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1: I can't fall back to sleep, and I'm just think,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't have any answer. I guess
Speaker 1: I never will. I just hope she's a piece nail
Speaker 1: because that's all she wanted. Yeah, no, that's you know.
Speaker 1: And and for fans and people who have reached out
Speaker 1: and who've wanted to help, who have wanted to I
Speaker 1: guess observe and memory. I mean, just keep her in
Speaker 1: your hearts and your thoughts. I mean, that's you know.
Speaker 1: Are they doing any kind of donation, Are they doing
Speaker 1: any kind of you know, special funds or anything. Cause
Speaker 1: I've had people asking me about it if they were
Speaker 1: and I just said, I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: what they're doing. I just, uh, I just buying this
Speaker 1: shirt that you're wearing, you know, the I don't even know.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what happens. I mean, I
Speaker 1: would hope that CT would be a great uh charity
Speaker 1: to give it to. I I just don't know. I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Well, you know, I knew this is
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. I mean obviously you know for people
Speaker 1: on on Patreon, you know that we you know, we
Speaker 1: we took that week last week because there was no
Speaker 1: way we were going to be able to sit down.
Speaker 1: Two days later too, I think maybe it was it
Speaker 1: two days later, it was? Was it the next day?
Speaker 1: I mean I guess it was. No, it was the
Speaker 1: next day and morning early. Yeah. I just knew. I
Speaker 1: knew before I knew that we weren't going to be
Speaker 1: sitting down. I just absolutely knew it. But uh, you know,
Speaker 1: you're just sharing everything that you have, and you know
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's it's heartbreaking. We all feel for you,
Speaker 1: as you know, her being your your good friend and
Speaker 1: best friend, some regards and just it's as the heartbreaking story.
Speaker 1: I'm very sorry for you. It's it's just one of
Speaker 1: those things that I'll never know. I try to think
Speaker 1: of the good times. There were plenty of I mean
Speaker 1: over a twenty year span, her and I and a
Speaker 1: bunch of the other girls. I mean, we we w
Speaker 1: we had the best times ever inside and outside the ring.
Speaker 1: I always said that was like a huge slumber party,
Speaker 1: you know, and all the girls got along and it
Speaker 1: was such a fun fed. We might have done stupid
Speaker 1: shit in the ring, but who cares. It was all
Speaker 1: about the after party for us. We didn't really care
Speaker 1: about what was going on in the ring. And we
Speaker 1: saw those pictures that you were sharing. Very yeah, it
Speaker 1: looked like a party, that's for sure. It was always
Speaker 1: the party with that company. And you know, it wasn't
Speaker 1: for her and I. It wasn't just a work relationship.
Speaker 1: We had a sisterly bond. I don't know. I just
Speaker 1: wish I just could talk to her one more time,
Speaker 1: that's all. Yeah, I can't so. I mean today it's
Speaker 1: going to be at two thirty, and I wish I
Speaker 1: could have went, But too far away, and I had
Speaker 1: too much responsibility here, so I couldn't I couldn't be there.
Speaker 1: But my heart is always with her. And I know
Speaker 1: she wouldn't understand, but yeah, outpouring of love. And she
Speaker 1: had a lot of people who loved her. I know,
Speaker 1: life gets in the way. I get it. Not everybody
Speaker 1: has the time. But if she could have seen the outpouring,
Speaker 1: because she always thought of herself as irrelevant, Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not over anymore. I'm not over enough to do this.
Speaker 1: You know. She would always say stuff like that, and
Speaker 1: I would just tell her to shut up, you know,
Speaker 1: in a way I said this on another show. She
Speaker 1: helped build the foundation for what is today's women's wrestling
Speaker 1: scene because she was taking unbelievable, unbelievable matches to television
Speaker 1: at a time where women's wrestling wasn't getting that spotlight.
Speaker 1: She was out there and she had a unique look
Speaker 1: that people would end up copying, you know, and almost
Speaker 1: rip it off, how close to it it was. When
Speaker 1: that's what you do, sometimes you borrow, but doing stuff
Speaker 1: and having big matches that ten years later would be
Speaker 1: the norm. And she's a trailblazer and as much she
Speaker 1: might not have thought it she is. But again I
Speaker 1: wish that people said it then. But she never really
Speaker 1: got the recognition she deserved for it, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like she wasn't known as one of the
Speaker 1: top performers in the company. She didn't get a huge push,
Speaker 1: you know, well, she was thrust into a big spot
Speaker 1: her Her biggest spot was probably when she debuted with
Speaker 1: the whole Rick Flair and you know, and the yeah
Speaker 1: Russo storyline, David Flair right there, and then where do
Speaker 1: you Go? And then you had and you know, Cruiserweight Champion.
Speaker 1: You know, she she had a hell of an introduction
Speaker 1: to uh to w CW. But it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: she was in WCW at a time where people were
Speaker 1: starting to tune out, and then she was in TNA
Speaker 1: right before. Really TNA had the big or sense of
Speaker 1: you know, urgency to watch and people might have missed her,
Speaker 1: but if you watch at the time, you knew that
Speaker 1: she was different, she was unique, and she was the
Speaker 1: scream queen the whole thing. I mean, it was a very,
Speaker 1: very trailblazing PERSONA. Yeah, it's it's unfortunate that, like you said,
Speaker 1: a lot of people just didn't give her the recognition
Speaker 1: that she deserved. And I'm not saying we had to
Speaker 1: put her over every day, right and none of us
Speaker 1: get that. And she just felt like her time had passed.
Speaker 1: And I honestly, I feel the same way about myself.
Speaker 1: I tell you all the time, like I'm just the
Speaker 1: grizzlytle vet in this business, just hanging out and doing
Speaker 1: stuff like this just to have fun and make a
Speaker 1: couple of bucks on the side, you know. But none
Speaker 1: of us of a rock. We all we didn't we
Speaker 1: know that. But she I'm okay with where I'm at.
Speaker 1: She wasn't. She wasn't okay with it. She still craved
Speaker 1: to do something, and you know, she tried to do
Speaker 1: certain things and people told her, no, we're not interested,
Speaker 1: and it was hard for her to accept that, you know,
Speaker 1: And I just I told her, don't don't get your
Speaker 1: feelings hurt. You know, you're in your mid forties, like
Speaker 1: she's forty six. It's a it's a young woman's game
Speaker 1: right now. Like they're a major. FED isn't going to
Speaker 1: hire somebody that's pushing fifty unless it's like a something
Speaker 1: like a Vicky Guerrero or some some special you know,
Speaker 1: whatever I but I tried to tell her in a
Speaker 1: nice way, like don't get your hopes up. You know,
Speaker 1: if it happens, it happens, and if it doesn't, it's
Speaker 1: not it's just not meant to be. And what was
Speaker 1: she look like? Producer style something like that. No, at
Speaker 1: one point she wanted to be on air again. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: and that, you know, and I don't want to say
Speaker 1: with you because I don't want any means. But the
Speaker 1: company that she was trying to get with was wasn't interested.
Speaker 1: She was upset about it. I told her, like, screw them,
Speaker 1: don't worry about it, you know. And I kept telling
Speaker 1: her the way I try to stay relevant or stay
Speaker 1: in the public eye, I get out there and I work,
Speaker 1: you know, I work, I do my show. I try
Speaker 1: to just do stuff. Well. She didn't want to do
Speaker 1: cameos because she didn't like the way she looked. She
Speaker 1: didn't want to do appearances because she didn't like the
Speaker 1: way she looked. And she was trying to transform herself.
Speaker 1: She finally had gotten on the right medication and she
Speaker 1: was starting to lose some weight and she was starting
Speaker 1: to feel good about herself. And you know, we were
Speaker 1: saying well maybe next year for Russell Con, maybe we'll
Speaker 1: go to Dallas. And she's always like, well, we'll see,
Speaker 1: that's what she kept saying. I said, well, take it
Speaker 1: one day at a time. It's not a big deal.
Speaker 1: You know, we'll go one step at a time. And
Speaker 1: it just I don't know. I'm sorry, go ahead. No.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say call and she'd say, you, no,
Speaker 1: I ate crap today? Oh so what you ate crap today?
Speaker 1: Tomorrow you go for a longer walk. You know, you
Speaker 1: can make up for it. Everybody falls sometimes you're gonna
Speaker 1: get back up. You're gonna be fine. So I was
Speaker 1: told her, don't beat yourself up. You have to take
Speaker 1: things day by day. Everybody's hard on themselves. I am too.
Speaker 1: I don't like the way I look most days, and
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just especially for women, body shaming.
Speaker 1: It's out there. And that's why I got so hot
Speaker 1: that day in New York. People were just so mean
Speaker 1: to her. Why why do you have to be like that?
Speaker 1: It made her feel like shit, it's not right. It
Speaker 1: was just that's the note like that. Yeah, that stuff
Speaker 1: is that's no filter. I mean, that is. It was rude.
Speaker 1: That's got that's you know that that kind of fan.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen them a lot, and I'm not
Speaker 1: bashing fans. I'm not trying to do fans. I love
Speaker 1: my fans. But you what makes you think you're better
Speaker 1: than anyone else to go up to somebody and say something, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there are some that are just completely in their own
Speaker 1: little bubble and in their own little world, and they're oblivious.
Speaker 1: That's the perfect word. I couldn't get the word in
Speaker 1: my head. That's it. They're oblivious and they you know,
Speaker 1: they they think that they're in a Yeah, they're in
Speaker 1: a different spot than they are. But if somebody, if
Speaker 1: if Daphne said that back to them, would be, oh,
Speaker 1: she's such a bitch. Oh yeah, what an asshole. You
Speaker 1: just kind of sat there and was like, well, you know,
Speaker 1: time has passed and I mean she was trying to
Speaker 1: be nice to be but then she just started crying
Speaker 1: and I you know, and I was just like, son
Speaker 1: of a bitch, Why why would you say something like that?
Speaker 1: Just people are such ass I can't. You're a bunch
Speaker 1: of assholes, all of you, every single person. No, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I just except for the people on Patreon,
Speaker 1: you guys are not everybody. I'm kidding. I'm joking, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I know I've joke, and it
Speaker 1: made it. It made it unenjoyable for me at that
Speaker 1: point because then I had to babysit her because she
Speaker 1: just kept threatening to go to the bar the whole time,
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to do sales for myself and I'm
Speaker 1: trying to watch her. I'm trying to push her stuff
Speaker 1: so she makes money. And it was just a disaster.
Speaker 1: And that was New York. That was what two years ago,
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Yeah, that was yeah, because the New Orleans
Speaker 1: was the year before, and then we did New York
Speaker 1: and then the pandemic hit, So that was the last
Speaker 1: one we did together. I think I think that was
Speaker 1: the last one. I mean I was gonna say, I mean,
Speaker 1: I would have loved to have done more with her here,
Speaker 1: but I just didn't get the impressions she wanted to
Speaker 1: do anything, you know, so I never I never followed
Speaker 1: up with asking you again, because I remember after we
Speaker 1: had her on, we had the great conversation about WEW
Speaker 1: and maybe we'll go back and watch it. I think
Speaker 1: I might have said it once and then I kind
Speaker 1: of got the oppression. She didn't want to do anything,
Speaker 1: and that was it. But that could have been a
Speaker 1: great time capsule looking back. Yeah, No, she was very
Speaker 1: adamant about not wanting to be seen in public. Yes,
Speaker 1: but then she was saying, uh. She did tell me
Speaker 1: that she was supposedly going to Halloween Horror Nights at
Speaker 1: Universal for this Halloween. I forget who it was with.
Speaker 1: It might have been with like her friends from the
Speaker 1: book club or something, but they were all going to
Speaker 1: get together. And she goes, I think I'm going to
Speaker 1: go this year, and I said, you should go. It'll
Speaker 1: be fun. Get it out because she she loves Halloween
Speaker 1: and spooky shit. Now I hate Halloween and all that
Speaker 1: comes with it, but she was into it, and I
Speaker 1: said go and have a good time, and she was
Speaker 1: excited about it. And again I just something turned and
Speaker 1: I just think I think just this time, life was
Speaker 1: too overwhelming for her. And she felt like she had
Speaker 1: known the term too. So I don't know. Anyway, I
Speaker 1: got my death shirt on. You do it's a great shirt.
Speaker 1: She would have read this to herself, Yeah, you were
Speaker 1: you wore when she was on with us too. I
Speaker 1: was just looking at that, it's a you know, it's
Speaker 1: very again, very cool, unique shirt from a very cool
Speaker 1: and unique person. Yeah, it's a very interesting design for sure.
Speaker 1: I love her, love her like a sister. She always said,
Speaker 1: my family's you guys. You know. She always told me
Speaker 1: that you're my family. It's just and then my kids,
Speaker 1: like I had to tell my kids because every time
Speaker 1: we would talk, my kids would be there. They would say, oh,
Speaker 1: it's Shane and they would come on the screen with
Speaker 1: her and she would do the little filters for their
Speaker 1: face is, you know, and they had the fun I
Speaker 1: saw you post one of those that was very fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she would do it with the kids. And you know,
Speaker 1: when I I had to tell the kids, I told
Speaker 1: I'd let them. I didn't tell them exactly what happened.
Speaker 1: I just said she mixed up her pills by accident,
Speaker 1: and you know, the mixture was bad and that's why
Speaker 1: she died. But my daughter, and my daughter's twelve, and
Speaker 1: she just held me and she was like, mom, it's
Speaker 1: going to be okay. It's going to be okay. That's
Speaker 1: the moment I found out when I got it the
Speaker 1: message from Lexi that morning, Right, Lexi, just you know,
Speaker 1: she told me everything and I just burst it out
Speaker 1: and she ran into the room. She said, what happened?
Speaker 1: And I said a friend died and she said who wasn't?
Speaker 1: And I said it was shunning and she started crying.
Speaker 1: But she, I mean, she was like the adult. She
Speaker 1: grabbed me and held me and just comforted me. You know,
Speaker 1: that was beautiful. And I told her that night, I Clint,
Speaker 1: I got through this without you. And she's twelve. You know,
Speaker 1: she had more composure than I did. But like I said,
Speaker 1: I think hopefully now she's a peace And you know,
Speaker 1: something else triggered me too, Like a couple of days later,
Speaker 1: are you watching the show Heels by any chance. I
Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to check it out yet. I
Speaker 1: don't want to give too much away, but they talk
Speaker 1: about suicide and the guy's mother says, you commit suicide,
Speaker 1: you go straight to Hell. And when I watched that scene,
Speaker 1: it was like my heart just broke. You know, the
Speaker 1: Bible says you commit suicide, you go straight to hell.
Speaker 1: And I've been thinking about that a lot. And I
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys believe in heaven or hell
Speaker 1: out there, some people just believe when you die you die.
Speaker 1: My philosophy is it's nice to have something to believe in,
Speaker 1: have a faith, you know, something that keeps you going,
Speaker 1: because when you do die, you don't know any better.
Speaker 1: So why not believe something good will happen and live
Speaker 1: your life that way. That's that's what I think anyway.
Speaker 1: So I tend to believe there is a heaven out there,
Speaker 1: but you know, when you die, it is the only
Speaker 1: way you find out. And when I watch that show,
Speaker 1: it just it just triggered me and it made me think,
Speaker 1: you know, deep thoughts that I was trying to avoid,
Speaker 1: trying to go to the show to escape, and you know, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: like I love my reality stupid shows. I love you
Speaker 1: bror Ba short all that domas nonsense and then Heels
Speaker 1: is a good show. I'm enjoying it. But in that episode,
Speaker 1: it really like punched me in the gut and I
Speaker 1: was just like, fuck, now you should be looking for Snooky.
Speaker 1: Don't go straight for Snooky next time. Don't where at
Speaker 1: the beach exactly? Yeah, yeah, gt L, don't don't worry
Speaker 1: about I. Don't go to the gritty you know, the
Speaker 1: gritty wrestling drama where you know, anything could possibly trigger something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it was a lot. But Punk was on one
Speaker 1: of the episodes and he did great. Uh perfect timing
Speaker 1: too with him going back to a w And now
Speaker 1: you know he's got the little role in the Heels show.
Speaker 1: He was. He was awesome on that and it is
Speaker 1: a good show. You should check it out. Did you
Speaker 1: know that apparently he based his character for Heels off
Speaker 1: of Tracy Smothers. How great is that? Yeah? I didn't
Speaker 1: really see much Tracy. I don't know. I mean maybe
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I I don't know. The most
Speaker 1: memorable scene is him being on the toilet. I didn't
Speaker 1: see yet, so taking a dump on the toilet. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, so but it's it's good check it out.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I've just been trying to keep
Speaker 1: myself occupied. My kids have been helping a lot, and
Speaker 1: you know we haven't gotten back to school. We're starting Monday.
Speaker 1: How you go, Okay, that's right, your homeschool schedule. Back
Speaker 1: to school Monday starting. Well, we had to wait until
Speaker 1: certain books were delivered to you can go get your
Speaker 1: your supplies fifty because started. I know the kids are
Speaker 1: already asking like field trips and the days off and
Speaker 1: I was like, we haven't even started yet. We are
Speaker 1: going to go to the aquarium for a field trip.
Speaker 1: But it just sucks because of COVID. Still there's no
Speaker 1: no one getting together, there's no plate dates happening. Now
Speaker 1: they're saying, the kids are, you know, catching COVID at
Speaker 1: rapid speed, and the schools are starting to close again. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'm just like every day so you know, just
Speaker 1: I'll change topics here just a little bit. So during pandemic,
Speaker 1: our little town here was like nothing. There was like,
Speaker 1: you know, when the big cities were having thousands and
Speaker 1: thousands of cases, we have like six. Well, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, our elementary school is like the hotspots. You know,
Speaker 1: like every day there's an email, please check your email
Speaker 1: regarding COVID nineteen exposure blah blah blah elementary school. And
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, now where the hotspot? Oh okay, I
Speaker 1: got you. Are they shutting them down? They have to
Speaker 1: drop past a certain percentage of kids out, so they
Speaker 1: haven't hit that threshold. But I mean it's like it's
Speaker 1: so dumb. You know, my older daughter sitting there going, yeah,
Speaker 1: this whole table across from me everybody's gone. She's like,
Speaker 1: I was at recess at all. My friends were sent
Speaker 1: home to quarantined, you know. And are they wearing masks?
Speaker 1: They don't have to wear masks at recess. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: an indoor mandate. But you know, it's like the close
Speaker 1: contacts and it's you know, the vaccination right now twelve
Speaker 1: and over, so they're ten and uh, you know, these
Speaker 1: kids are going to have to go home and quarantine
Speaker 1: and if they want to come back in a shorter
Speaker 1: amount of time, they have to produce a negative test.
Speaker 1: You know. So you're putting ten year olds through that horrible,
Speaker 1: horrible COVID tests which look for a thirty eight year old.
Speaker 1: I couldn't handle it a ten year old, you know.
Speaker 1: And now they're saying and again it's just completely changing topics.
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't want to go down a
Speaker 1: political rabbit hole. But they're saying how they're going to
Speaker 1: try to implement testing in schools. Yeah, right, So I said,
Speaker 1: I go, okay, So let's so I might speak with
Speaker 1: somebody who is very close to me that's in much
Speaker 1: support of everything that's being said. I said, so, can
Speaker 1: we picture my five year old being called to the
Speaker 1: nurse's office to have her brain picked with a Q
Speaker 1: tip to do a COVID test and not have her
Speaker 1: mommy and daddy there. I go, come on, come on,
Speaker 1: the kids are going to lose it. You're you're safe
Speaker 1: at home right now. That's why I'm so happy. You
Speaker 1: know you're safe. You're a good shape of your household.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, we're all safe in our own little bubble,
Speaker 1: and we like it like this. Can Professor Chad come
Speaker 1: yet to teach them the finer things of some some
Speaker 1: subject but like a maybe a baseball history class or
Speaker 1: well history, well we could do that ever zoom, Okay, okay.
Speaker 1: When I was going to come into oldie time, uh
Speaker 1: baseball uniform, you know with the stirrups all the way
Speaker 1: up and you know, the big bangs. I I asked
Speaker 1: my kids every day, do you want to go back
Speaker 1: to school? In school, learning new new? And you know,
Speaker 1: I give them the choice. They're old enough, they're old
Speaker 1: enough to make their own decisions. And I gave them
Speaker 1: the choice and they said no. So I said, okay,
Speaker 1: because your son scratches, you know, his areas and his underwear,
Speaker 1: and go, nope, we're good yeah, we're good here, Bundy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sometimes Yeah, Okay, you're good. I think you're pretty good here. Mom.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I had to say yeah, I
Speaker 1: just again, I just wish, you know, just the social aspect.
Speaker 1: It'll get there, I'm sure eventually. But I thank god
Speaker 1: I have two children that can play together, because for
Speaker 1: the most part, they've been getting along and they've been
Speaker 1: playing well, and you know, by like six thirty seven o'clock,
Speaker 1: I kind of have to separate. That's where it starts
Speaker 1: to set in. That's the that's the expiration time. It
Speaker 1: gets a little a little much by that time, they're
Speaker 1: you know, they're jumping on each other and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: But I mean they're Look, they're good kids. They listen
Speaker 1: press precious angels with timing of very epic proportions, with
Speaker 1: their very introspective comments like your son had when we
Speaker 1: were there. That was I still love. That was such
Speaker 1: a beautiful little thing that he said. I thought that
Speaker 1: was so precious. They both they're both very loving, very
Speaker 1: emotional kids, you know, and very very nice. Yeah, I'm lucky,
Speaker 1: but we're just, you know, we're just hanging out. We
Speaker 1: closed the pool, which was side o the weather's I mean,
Speaker 1: it's only sixty sixty eight degrees today. There's no way
Speaker 1: we could have went swimming. It's too so we you know,
Speaker 1: we went on a hike and I don't know, We're
Speaker 1: just they're just puttering around. There's really much, not much
Speaker 1: to do, really isn't And it's this is a transition
Speaker 1: time between summer and fall. Ye kind of in a
Speaker 1: holding pattern. Yeah, and because of COVID too, like a
Speaker 1: lot of places aren't if they're open, they don't have
Speaker 1: like the activities that not everything is working or you know,
Speaker 1: you put you pay fifty dollars to get into somewhere
Speaker 1: and then you can't go on half the things. And
Speaker 1: it's just like, oh god, come on, excuse me. It's
Speaker 1: it's it's a lot. So the kids want to go
Speaker 1: to Chuck E Cheese and I'm like, that is a
Speaker 1: German infested cesspool of filth. I have been, I have been.
Speaker 1: We're not going there. There's nowhere we're going there. So
Speaker 1: I think we're just we're going to plan something in
Speaker 1: October for the aquarium, get them a little field trip.
Speaker 1: I did want to do the uh, what's it called
Speaker 1: the Express, the train for Christmas Polar Express Polar Express,
Speaker 1: I kind of. I mean, I know they're older, but
Speaker 1: I thought it would be neat to get on the
Speaker 1: train and like look at the lights. Oh absolutely, But
Speaker 1: I don't think they're doing it because of the cars.
Speaker 1: They don't want a bunch of families in one car
Speaker 1: and it's not worth selling the tickets. I got to
Speaker 1: look into it. I got to see when it gets closer.
Speaker 1: Can they not be dumb? Just don't overthink it, Just
Speaker 1: do it and make it safe. Find out how to
Speaker 1: do it. I don't know, extra time if you have to, Folks,
Speaker 1: get us out of the freaking house. Oh he's in
Speaker 1: the house. I gotta get out of here. Losing my mind.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Well, well, I don't know. We will
Speaker 1: do our best this week to provide some enjoyable content.
Speaker 1: We gave you some classic content last week. I went
Speaker 1: and grabbed some of the pick of the litter there,
Speaker 1: Queen of Extreme, some of the some of some of
Speaker 1: our best us that we ever had. I watched I
Speaker 1: watched the one porn porn star what is it called
Speaker 1: wrestler or porns? It was very it was very funny.
Speaker 1: I watched it as well and I was I was
Speaker 1: laughing my ass off, and maybe we'll wait about a
Speaker 1: week before I bring it back, okay, and uh the
Speaker 1: other and I was up for debate with what I
Speaker 1: was going to do for the watch along. I was
Speaker 1: happy with what I ended up doing with the Wrestle
Speaker 1: Rock Rumble because that was that was funny too. That
Speaker 1: was a great one. It was very close to pulling
Speaker 1: out the Scott Hall ECW appearance because we get we
Speaker 1: get that a lot in the live streams when we
Speaker 1: get questions for you, people always ask about that. Sole's
Speaker 1: think about bringing that out, But I was like, no,
Speaker 1: what The Wrestle Rock Rumble was pretty damn funny too,
Speaker 1: so we went with that. Yeah, No, it's it's good
Speaker 1: to laugh. I know Shannon would want me to laugh,
Speaker 1: So I'm going to try my best with the extras
Speaker 1: today to laugh. And well, I'm going to try my
Speaker 1: best to make you laugh, so I hope. So there
Speaker 1: you go. That's my job. I'll rune it down quickly
Speaker 1: before we say goodbye. We are going to check out
Speaker 1: a it's gonna be good at Top ten Celebrities with
Speaker 1: Bad Plastic Surgery video view. Yeah. I found this. I
Speaker 1: didn't watch it. If it sucks, I apologize. I'm hoping
Speaker 1: there's some good ones on there. I am not against
Speaker 1: plastic surgery. I'm one hundred percent for it. But some
Speaker 1: of these people just go a little too far. It's
Speaker 1: a little too far, and their face transforms into the
Speaker 1: worst thing I've ever usually the lips, the lips, the
Speaker 1: cheek boons are like on their foreheads all the way here.
Speaker 1: It's terrible, terrible, So we'll check that out. We got
Speaker 1: some weird Amazon movie trailers. Yeah, I hear Amazon has
Speaker 1: they're so good they're bad, or so bad they're good. Rather,
Speaker 1: it's the new wave of direct to video. You know,
Speaker 1: you go to Blockbuster and you'd see like, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: the movie Anaconda with Jennifer Lopez and ice Cube, and
Speaker 1: then next to it you'd see like Reptile and it's
Speaker 1: the same exact looking movie, but it's completely different, and
Speaker 1: it's terrible. It's low you know, low budget, it's terrible sets,
Speaker 1: it's hopefully it's in that vein. And then we're going
Speaker 1: to close out the Legends of the Arena Final Contest,
Speaker 1: the main event. Uh, and we're gonna end that show.
Speaker 1: We'll get your final thoughts. I'm looking back at that
Speaker 1: for the first time ever. I don't remember that match
Speaker 1: at all. I don't even know if I watched it
Speaker 1: because at that point I think I was sitting in
Speaker 1: the back with my legs, probably with a fan over
Speaker 1: you somewhere. I was so pregnant, Yes I was. It
Speaker 1: was terrible. Absolutely, we're gonna finish it out, and we'll
Speaker 1: do it in a in a big way. I want
Speaker 1: to mention before we say goodbye, but I'm gonna mention
Speaker 1: it more on the extras that there is a brand
Speaker 1: new Queen of Extreme Merchandise store via Wrestle Merch Central,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna pull it up on the screen here
Speaker 1: in just a minute. I'm gonna tell and we'll talk
Speaker 1: about this on the extra we'll talk about it. I
Speaker 1: want to tell a little bit of the history of
Speaker 1: this company, Wrestle merch and their parent company, Event Merchandising,
Speaker 1: a juggernaut of wrestling history and back into the fray
Speaker 1: with Wrestle merch Central. Uh, and your T shirt store
Speaker 1: is live and I brought it up here. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna let you talk. I'm gonna show everybody the main
Speaker 1: key component of this store while you talk to me.
Speaker 1: I just want people to realize, because we're getting a
Speaker 1: lot of messages. It is not only just for the UK.
Speaker 1: It is a worldwide company. You can buy my merch.
Speaker 1: Whether you live in the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore,
Speaker 1: Waba Lajaa any way, or that you live, you can
Speaker 1: buy merch. Everybody keeps saying, oh, it's only for the UK.
Speaker 1: The graphic is very deceiving. We need to get a
Speaker 1: new graphic because it's it's states like UK Merch Open
Speaker 1: or something like that. It is not just a UK.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I was trying to bring it up. I forgot.
Speaker 1: I'm on the different application. Sorry, Okay, I'm gonna I'll try,
Speaker 1: but I thought I could. Yes, you're correct, so they're great,
Speaker 1: says it's it's a global address, right, and it's a
Speaker 1: company out of the UK. But you were the one
Speaker 1: who pointed out before even I saw where it was.
Speaker 1: Up in the corner in the left hand side, next
Speaker 1: to the search bar, there is a drop down where
Speaker 1: you can change it to the dollar that fits your country.
Speaker 1: So you have to click the menu button and once
Speaker 1: you click menu the dropdown feature, you go all the
Speaker 1: way to the bottom and you'll see I think it
Speaker 1: says g I don't know, GBS or something some something.
Speaker 1: The default is GBP. That's the yes, yes, that's that,
Speaker 1: and just change it to US and there's your pricing.
Speaker 1: No one knows how to navigate this this website, and
Speaker 1: everybody keeps seeing the UK merch whatever the graphic says.
Speaker 1: We need to change that, we need to get a
Speaker 1: new graphic. It is United States America. Buy my stuff.
Speaker 1: You can get it in the you know, in the US.
Speaker 1: It ships out out of the US as well. It's
Speaker 1: not like it's coming from the UK. We have a
Speaker 1: merchandise store in the United States that it is coming
Speaker 1: out of. And I also have women's shirts, which it's
Speaker 1: a new thing for me. I never had shirts made
Speaker 1: for women. And I also have hoodies available, which I
Speaker 1: just found out. I was like, wow, I have hoodies.
Speaker 1: And there's also going to be mugs on the way
Speaker 1: as well as more choices for the hoodies. So it's
Speaker 1: really and they're all new designs. There. You've had T
Speaker 1: shirts stores, you still have T shirts stores. These are
Speaker 1: all new designs. Yes, approved and designed for the most
Speaker 1: part by the Queen of Extreme Yeah. I love them.
Speaker 1: I think they came out great. Thank you to Eli
Speaker 1: for helping me out, and I just I'm excited about it.
Speaker 1: And I won't have them at conventions. This is strictly
Speaker 1: an online thing for me, so you do have to
Speaker 1: order them. But the good thing is you can order them,
Speaker 1: get them and then if you are coming to a
Speaker 1: convention you bring it with you and I could sign
Speaker 1: it there it was. But please don't think if you
Speaker 1: don't live in the UK you can't buy because this
Speaker 1: is it's nationwide. You can. You can buy it from
Speaker 1: wherever you are. Just change the currency and that's absolutely right.
Speaker 1: It's Wressele merch Central dot com, heay Wrestle merch Central
Speaker 1: dot com. Global shipping Australia, Europe, the US, the UK, Canada.
Speaker 1: You make the order, you change it to your appropriate
Speaker 1: dollar that your country allows to be spent, and it'll
Speaker 1: adjust the price. You can get these shirts. I personally
Speaker 1: will be getting the you can't work a worker probably
Speaker 1: hoodie because I do like the I love I love
Speaker 1: to say I always use that phrase. You do, you
Speaker 1: absolutely do always use that phrase. Somebody says something, I'm like,
Speaker 1: come on, you can't work work let's go if you
Speaker 1: if it tickles your fancy, I probably couldn't wear it
Speaker 1: around my house. But the eyes Up your shirt is
Speaker 1: very unique. It's very specific to the Queen of Extreme.
Speaker 1: But it's just great designs. You know, your classic four
Speaker 1: sixty nine shirt in the black and white, the British
Speaker 1: union jack, the American flag and the rainbow colors. I mean,
