I think 38 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 4: you are strapped to a rocket ship and I cannot 39 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 4: wait to see this match in London.

Has not only 42 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 4: this story been But did you know the payoff was 43 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 4: going to be in London when you started the story? 44 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: No? 45 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 5: Well, first of all, I love Star Wars. 46 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 2: It's funny, and I wouldn't say that I turned on Tony. 47 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 5: No, no, this was always the plan for me. 48 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 2: There was no turning on my end. And no, I 49 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: didn't know it would be Wembley. I didn't know it 50 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: would be for the World Championship. For me, the goal 51 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 2: was always Tony Storm. You know I'm from the UK. 52 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: Tony was the top goal in the UK. You list 53 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 2: out some of my acol well, Tony Storm's accolades in 54 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: the UK would be three times as long as that. 55 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: And so when I started training, Tony was always the 56 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 2: top goal. She was always so much to aspire to 57 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: be in the UK and Europe, and then she obviously 58 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 2: went to stardom and she pretty much did everything you 59 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: can do in stardom, and so for me, she was 60 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 2: really the blueprint of like, if I want to become 61 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 2: a successful wrestler, if I want to make it out 62 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 2: of the UK, which is always the goal because the 63 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 2: UK sucks, I need to follow in this one's footsteps. 64 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: When the opportunity presented itself to go to aw and 65 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 2: to be I've never actually been in the same company 66 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: or presence as Tony Storm. 67 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 5: I've always kind of watched. 68 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: Her from afar, So to actually be in the same 69 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: company as her, that was the time to go and 70 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: to take that opportunity and to follow in her footsteps 71 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 2: and to get so close to her. And the fact 72 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: that it's Wembley, the fact that it's my hometown, it's 73 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 2: our biggest stage at all in is a beautiful addition. 74 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 5: But that was never part of my original plan. 75 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: That kind of came into my head when TK announced 76 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: that the Owen Heart Foundation when I would go on 77 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 2: to Wembley, and then I was like, Okay, this is 78 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: the place. 79 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 5: Where I end Tony Storm's career. 80 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: I could have done it on a dynamite.

We chose to do it. That's 129 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 2: just how we show affection to each other and we 130 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 2: always have in our friendship. Like I said, if I 131 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 2: don't want to do something, I won't, But you're you 132 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: know myself, Mina and Tony are three extremely decorated women's 133 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 2: wrestlers who off our own backs have become very successful 134 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 2: all over the world.

And I 137 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: think myself Tony and Mina got the best rated segments 138 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: for about eight weeks in a row, and as we 139 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 2: should so well. 140 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: So then that's the problem.

I had to really fight hard to get 177 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 2: the ones I did, and drive all over the country, 178 00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 2: train and wearhouses. 179 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 5: Fly to Europe. 180 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 2: Obviously, I ended up moving to Japan. I was only 181 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: supposed to go for three months, and in my first 182 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 2: week I said can I stay for longer? 183 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 5: And they said how long? And I said as long 184 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 5: as I can. 185 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 2: So I literally stayed until you know, I got signed 186 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 2: to AW And even then I said to AW, can 187 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 2: you wait? 188 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 5: Like I'm not done. I still want to learn. 189 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 2: And I think for me, it's like I always look 190 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: at wrestling like a business, and I think some people don't. 191 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 2: And I am a childhood wrestling fan. I love wrestling 192 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 2: and I love watching wrestling. But you also have to 193 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 2: market yourself. And I feel like I've been doing that 194 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 2: for a very long time, even before I started training 195 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 2: in the ring. I always know, Okay, if I can 196 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 2: build like a brand on social media, I'm going to 197 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: get opportunities. Then I started independent wrestling, and I would 198 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 2: like I would like tie go pros to. 199 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 5: Like these school halls, to like. 200 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 2: The chairs and stuff, and like record my matches myself 201 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 2: and put them online or send them to people for 202 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 2: feedback and do everything I could to improve and also 203 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 2: to get myself and my name out there. And I 204 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 2: feel like I did have a lot of pushbacks, and 205 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 2: you know, I got bullied quite a lot and had 206 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 2: like a lot of problems, but for me, it always 207 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 2: made me stronger. And I wouldn't change the thing about it, 208 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 2: because it just gave me this mentality where I just 209 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 2: won't give up. And even living in Japan alone for 210 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 2: a year was extremely lonely, but it allowed me to 211 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: really get to know myself and become very mentally robust 212 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 2: to the point where it doesn't matter what you throw 213 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 2: at me or even in situations like I do very 214 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 2: well under pressure. So with live TV, anything changes and happens, 215 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 2: and I just know whatever they say, like oh it 216 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 2: will work, like we'll we'll make it work and we'll 217 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 2: do a great job. And so I think the reason 218 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 2: why I got here, as she said, so quickly, even 219 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 2: though it feels like a long time for me because 220 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 2: it's been a lot of ups and downs. The reason 221 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: why I think I got here quickly is because I've 222 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 2: kept my eyes on the price, so to speak, and 223 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 2: I've always treat this as a business, which is what 224 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 2: it is, and been able to separate myself from it 225 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 2: and just do the job that I'm needed to do 226 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 2: rather than kind of make it about myself. And I 227 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 2: think the reason why I get to go to Wembley 228 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 2: and the other girls don't is because I'm smarter than them, 229 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 2: and I always knew what I wanted with Tony Storm. 230 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: I've had my eyes on her since I stepped in 231 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: for her at Progress Wrestling years and years ago, like 232 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 2: my fourth other match in my career. And I always 233 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 2: knew I wanted to take down Tony Storm because if 234 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 2: I take down Tony Storm, I'm a made woman. It's 235 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: just a bonus that it gets to be at Wembley 236 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 2: and for the world title. 237 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 4: Jeff, go ahead, go ahead? Or are a wolves? 238 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: Great answer, by the way, great answer, smarter than these chicks. 239 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 1: So in wrestling or sorry, not in wrestling, just in life. 240 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: You know, people are always we only get to see 241 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: you when you're on TV. We only get to see 242 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: these kind of Wembley's, we get to see the Oh 243 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: and Heart Championship, we get to see all these things, right, 244 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: So it's always very interesting to the pedestrian or the 245 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: everyday person is like, well, what what's it like? You know, normally, 246 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: what's the what's the climb? Like people that number one 247 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: thing people ask me. I'm a stand up comedian, is 248 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: like what it's your biggest bomb? Or like what happens 249 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: when no one laughs? Or do you ever show up 250 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: and there's ten people in the audience. I'd like to 251 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: know your worst wrestling thing, like what was the just 252 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: where you go, Oh, this was my nightmare. 253 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 2: Oh my god, all of it, everything I did in 254 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: the UK, just burn it with fire, like I never 255 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 2: want to see it again. I wouldn't say I've had bombs, 256 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 2: but and also I do think and I always say 257 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 2: this to some of my friends who are like on 258 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 2: the indies, like when they you know, sometimes I'll get 259 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 2: a call and be like, this happened and it was terrible, 260 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 2: and I'm like, but what did you learn because now, 261 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: like so the amount of bad things happened in matches 262 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 2: or like with my opponents, because you know, on the 263 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 2: indies sometimes people aren't trained. 264 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 5: Or like you just you get some real characters. 265 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 2: But it is a really good experience because you learn 266 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: what to do when it goes wrong. And then when 267 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 2: you get put out on live TV, like you said, oh, 268 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 2: it's so wellly for you to go to we believe 269 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: to be on AWTV. But it's like I had maybe 270 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 2: like eighty terrible matches in the UK where I learnt 271 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 2: so much. Then I had one hundred matches in Japan 272 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 2: with they're phenomenal there and trained incredibly, But you know 273 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 2: where I learned so much again, and I learned what 274 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 2: to do when it doesn't go right, and how to 275 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 2: cover things and learn things. So it's like I wouldn't 276 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 2: say I've had bombs, but I've had a lot of 277 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: not great matches because. 278 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: All give us one give us something matter. 279 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 2: Because people will find it. And I've had matches where 280 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 2: girls just roll out the ring. 281 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 4: Really I have to. 282 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 5: Go and get them, like what are we doing here? 283 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: So but you know, you learn how to get it 284 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 2: back on track, and you learn how to cover things. 285 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: And that is the art of wrestling, is to make 286 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 2: the audience believe it. So you know, these bombs are important, 287 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: right A build character. 288 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 4: Not Uncle, but I call him Uncle Ron. He was 289 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 4: a manager and still is a manager in Hollywood. For 290 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 4: a long time, he was my father's manager. There was 291 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 4: a great stand up comedian named Richard Pryor. He was 292 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 4: Richard Pryor's manager, and when I was young, he gave 293 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 4: me some advice that you said in the last question 294 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 4: that I asked you. When you had this great understanding 295 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 4: of the business, he said, Freddie, this is show business. 296 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 4: I said, yeah, he said, which word's bigger, And at 297 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 4: fifteen I didn't understand what that meant. And then when 298 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 4: I started in the business and was like twenty twenty nineteen, 299 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 4: twenty years old, I was like, oh shit, this is 300 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 4: a business. It's not a show. Like I have to 301 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 4: bring the art to it, but you have to be 302 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 4: able to separate as an artist. You have to be 303 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 4: half business person and half artist. And the artist always 304 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 4: thinks the business person is cold and unfeeling, and the 305 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 4: business person thinks the artist is soft and weak and 306 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 4: unfocused and just doesn't isn't practical enough? How do who 307 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 4: was it? And if it was just by yourself, that's 308 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 4: even more impressive. How did you get this perspective on 309 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 4: the business so early on, because that's exactly why you're 310 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 4: at you are where you're at. I know it because 311 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 4: I did it. I've seen it happen in other people 312 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 4: as well, So how did you get that mindset? 313 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 2: I love that quote because I feel like Tony Storm 314 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 2: is the show and I'm the business. I feel like 315 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 2: that pretty much sums. 316 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 5: Up and relationship fat I don't know. 317 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 2: I mean, my parents are both very successful, Like they 318 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 2: came from nothing and they both grew a very successful business. 319 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 2: So I feel like I've always like I couldn't not 320 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: get good grades or do well at school because I'd 321 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 2: be in so much trouble and stuff. So I've always 322 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 2: kind of grown up with very cool My parents are cool. 323 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 2: Like they were, you know, I got to do whatever 324 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 2: I wanted as a kid and like have fun and 325 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 2: wasn't really like tied down to rules. But when it 326 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: came to work, as in school work, because when you're 327 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 2: a kid, that is your work and things like that, 328 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 2: I was always very disciplined, but I think for me 329 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 2: it was just like not like I think I realized, 330 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 2: like seventeen eighteen, it's just no one's going to give 331 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: it to you if you want something, especially like trying 332 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 2: to become a wrestler in the UK. And at that time, 333 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 2: I mean, I know, in recent years we've had other 334 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 2: like you know, we've had more wrestling in the UK, 335 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: But when I wanted to become a wrestler, there was 336 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 2: I think, and I had no idea how to do it. 337 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 5: And I remember I asked my mum. 338 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 2: She's like, I don't know, and I was like oh, 339 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: and I was like, right, I guess I just have 340 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 2: to figure it out myself and then I would just 341 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 2: like figure out like what I could do because I 342 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 2: was determined not to fail. So I think it's like 343 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 2: kind of how I grew up, but also the realization that, 344 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 2: like I'm completely alone in this. My parents can't help me. 345 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 2: My family can't help me, my friends can't help me. 346 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 5: I don't know anybody. I don't know anybody to get 347 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 5: advice from. I just have to figure it out. And 348 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 5: I would watch things online. 349 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 2: I would watch wrestling interview so try and piece it 350 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: together how they made it. But you know, the business 351 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 2: always changes. But I try to take whatever less than 352 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 2: I could, And honestly, my big takeaway was just I 353 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 2: have to build a brand and make put my name 354 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 2: out there because it's the only way I can, even 355 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 2: if it's not through wrestling, even if it's through my 356 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 2: YouTube blogs, if it's through modeling, if it's through acting, 357 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 2: Like whatever I can do to get my claws in 358 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 2: and get a bit of a name is going to 359 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 2: open a door for me to wrestle in. Yeah, And 360 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 2: I just think if you're going to do something, you 361 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 2: have to commit to it. I'd rather crash and burn 362 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 2: than not try it all. 363 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 4: So I love when wrestlers can act right. I think 364 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 4: the perfect wrestler, the three dimensional wrestlers as the great look, 365 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 4: they're great on the mic, and they're great in the 366 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 4: ring right, And I hate blowing smoke of people. But 367 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 4: I genuinely believe you have all three of those things. 368 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 4: I want to talk, You're welcome, You're in that. You 369 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 4: did a promo last or a backstage segment last week, 370 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 4: and I really like the presentation of it, and I 371 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 4: like the message that you put out there. Can you 372 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 4: kind of break it down for the audience how that 373 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 4: comes about and how you want to communicate that message, 374 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 4: how you want people to know, how you feel the 375 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 4: things that you want to sting Tony the way it 376 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 4: shot all that, So if you could break that down 377 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 4: that process, because I thought that was a really well 378 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 4: done backstage segment on AW the other week. 379 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 2: I think AW has an amazing editing team, Like I 380 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 2: think they just always knock it out the park when 381 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 2: it comes to pay per views, the little promos they 382 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 2: show before a match. You know, I have been by 383 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 2: Tony's side for almost a year now, so I remember, 384 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 2: you know, standing there before we go out, and I'll 385 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 2: always watch them and they really do a beautiful job 386 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 2: at just telling this story and under a minute. It 387 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 2: doesn't need to be long, and they do a really 388 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 2: good job with that. And I think for me, it's 389 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 2: you know, I know who I am, I know what 390 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 2: I want to portray, and like I said, Tony's head 391 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 2: is in the clouds and she's a dreamer. 392 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 5: I'm not. I'm a realist. That's how I got here. 393 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 2: And so I want everything about my presentation to be 394 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 2: just stark and cold and just to the point. And 395 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 2: I know it's a complete contrast from who I am, 396 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 2: and if you watch me in stardom, it was a 397 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 2: lot of dancing and pink and just all the works. 398 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 2: But this is a completely different side of me. And 399 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 2: so I work really closely with them. And I also 400 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 2: work with RJ City, who writes a lot of our stuff, 401 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 2: and we talk a lot about the character and you know, 402 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 2: I'll chew his ear off just trying to understand it 403 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 2: as much as possible to make sure that I believe 404 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 2: what I'm saying, and I do. We've worked together on 405 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 2: that to make sure it's as real as it can 406 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 2: be and believable as it can be. And so yeah, 407 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 2: I loved how that film came out, and I felt 408 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 2: like it was me and it's better than any film 409 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 2: Tony's ever made. 410 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 4: So I love Jeff. Go ahead, sir. 411 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: I am often accused, not often, I used to be 412 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,719 Speaker 1: often accused of not being a real wrestling fan, you know, 413 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: maybe because the way I look, maybe because my business, 414 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: maybe because of whatever I say. Oh, he's not even 415 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: a real wrestling fan, this guy. And I've watched it 416 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: my whole life, so I would I often have to 417 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: kind of prove that I really was a big wrestling 418 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: mark my whole life. So you said earlier you were 419 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: a childhood wrestling fan. Who were you watching? Who is 420 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: the people that you loved? Like, is there anybody you 421 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: think of even now, like fondly, like oh my gosh, 422 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: like I'm kind of doing this. 423 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 2: No, I'm an adult, so I don't fantasize about wrestlers, 424 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 2: but as a kid, I do. I'm sure many people 425 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 2: fantasize about me. But I don't be. 426 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: To your words, not mine. 427 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 2: But as a kid, No, I love Mickey James and yeah, 428 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 2: and I love Jeff Hardy, So they were too. 429 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 4: He was the reason I went to work at w W. 430 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 5: E Oh, really, he's so cool. 431 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 4: I thought he was the coolest guy out there. I 432 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 4: got to write that storyline when he became champion and 433 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 4: was like, it was my dream come true. After that, 434 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 4: I never wrote anything that goold ever again. I was 435 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 4: just like, Yo, I'm working with the dude that I 436 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 4: thought was awesome when I would watch. 437 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 5: And he's still so wonderful. 438 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 2: Like I obviously met him at a w and he's 439 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 2: just so cool, and I was like, oh my god. 440 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 2: It's not often that I like, I try to keep 441 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 2: it cool because I'm like, it's strange to see people 442 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 2: that I watched on TV. 443 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 5: As a child. It's just weird when you see them. 444 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 5: You're like, oh, you're a real person. 445 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 4: But being older than I was just like, oh, hey, 446 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like, it is what it is, man, 447 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 4: I have no shame in my game. 448 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 2: And then I just remember that you see them and 449 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 2: you're like, hello, nice. 450 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 3: To meet here. 451 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 4: That's great. Okay, let's think future. If you can't you 452 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 4: may just be singularly focused on Tony right now, but 453 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 4: if you could indulge me, what do you see as 454 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 4: the future of the women's division? How do how would 455 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 4: you reshape it? If you're going to be champion. You 456 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 4: got you make the calls? Do you? Are you a 457 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 4: fighting champion? Do you make people earn it? How do you? 458 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 4: How would you demand the division behave once you're champion? 459 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 2: So I will be champion, and once I'm champion, I'm 460 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 2: done with Tony Storm. In fact, I think Tony Storm 461 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: will be done with wrestling. I don't imagine her coming 462 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 2: back after what I'm going to do to her when 463 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 2: I'm champion, or people have to earn it. People have 464 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 2: to be smart about it, you know. I think Tony 465 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 2: Storm was such a She's had such a lengthy reign, 466 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 2: which obviously will be ending soon because everybody has challenged 467 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 2: Tony Storm from the perspective of, well, I'm here, I've arrived, 468 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 2: and I'm challenging you, Whereas I was smart and I 469 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 2: got under her skin and I and her love and 470 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 2: her trust, and then I used all of that against her. 471 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 2: So for me, I learned so much from Tony and 472 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 2: I'm a strong wrestler. I've wrestled in stardom in Japan, 473 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 2: I've won many championships. I've learned from Tony Storm. She's 474 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 2: the best wrestler. We have the best one. This wrestler 475 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 2: we have without without a doubt. So I know how 476 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 2: strong I am in the ring, and I know how 477 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 2: hard it is to beat me. So if you want 478 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 2: to stand any kind of chance, you have to be 479 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 2: smart in the way that I have been. So I 480 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 2: do welcome all challenges. It will be fun to knock 481 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 2: these girls off. 482 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: So someone's going to have to stock you and earn 483 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: your friendship. 484 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 2: Well, listen, I said be smart, not copy me. That's 485 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 2: not very smart, Jeff. 486 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 4: You can hit us with our with our final question 487 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 4: for Ms. Mata. 488 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: It's not the most sophisticated question, but people want to 489 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 1: get to know you.
