Was 86 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 6: kind of like a routine. It was a joke that 87 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 6: none of my brothers have two brothers, none of them 88 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 6: would sit down and watch it with them, So I 89 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 6: always did, and I loved it, and I always said 90 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 6: I wanted to do it, but I didn't really know 91 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 6: how to get into it. There was no schools around me, 92 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 6: nothing of that sort, so I kind of like didn't 93 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 6: think it was really possible. So it kind of fell 94 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 6: into my lap. I everyone around me knew that I 95 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 6: wanted to. And Glacier from WCW actually as a family 96 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 6: friend and my aunts had talked to him and told him, 97 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 6: you know, this is her dream, just always wanted to 98 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 6: do it, and he was actually like, oh, wow, well, 99 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 6: I'm opening a wrestling school in Atlanta called the Power Factory. 100 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 6: So she wants to try it out. Tell her to come. 101 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 6: And I went to a camp there and I knew 102 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 6: I wanted to do it, and so then I think 103 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 6: six months later after the camp, I ended up moving 104 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 6: to Atlanta to train full time. 105 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 7: Nice. 106 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, and that was was that twenty eighteen? 107 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 4: I think I saw Yeah, so just a couple of 108 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 4: years ago, and I think it's so inspiring and just 109 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 4: awesome how far you've come. 110 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 8: It's such a small amount of time. 111 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 4: And I feel like a lot of people would say 112 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 4: twenty twenty is not their year, but it's definitely yours. 113 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 5: Would you agree, yes, luckily, I'm very lucky. 114 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,799 Speaker 4: Yes, And tell us a little bit how you got 115 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 4: involved with aw. 116 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 6: So I went, you know, I trained at the Power Factory. 117 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 6: There's a connection there.

It was after I had already been training, 120 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 6: so AW was not a thing when I first started. 121 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 6: So during the pandemic, they did not have their hands 122 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 6: on a lot of wrestlers due to travel restrictions and 123 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 6: that sort of thing, and I was in driving distance, 124 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 6: so I got the call, you know, they wanted me 125 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 6: to come to a Dark match with Penelope four. That 126 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 6: was my first match at AW.

So the 153 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,239 Speaker 6: biggest challenge during these times, I think, you know, without fans, 154 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 6: it's weird for me because I came into this at 155 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 6: the beginning and with no fans and so starting to 156 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 6: have fans back, I mean, it's an awesome thing, so 157 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 6: it's not really a challenge, but I think me just 158 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 6: getting used to that factor is you know, it's just weird. 159 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 5: But it's been great. 160 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: Nice, and it's like, you know, you talk about having fans, 161 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: and I remember in the group chat, we're all talking about, 162 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: you know, it felt so great getting to watch that 163 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: aw Dynamite show and you hear people screaming like it 164 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: was great having the wrestler's ring side and they're all 165 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: doing their own thing and you know, talking trash and whatever. 166 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 2: But hearing that that fan aspect of everybody. 167 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: Screaming and booing and cheering and of course you know, uh, 168 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: singing Jericho's theme song and just everything about it.

But I honestly think, like who 343 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 6: got me into wrestling, which is Nikki Bella. I'm not 344 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 6: gonna lie about it. It's just, you know, she's charismatic. 345 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 6: She maybe believe that that was something that I could 346 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 6: do one day, and so I would love to wrestle 347 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 6: her maybe, you know, no stipulations. I would just like 348 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 6: to go for a very long time in the ring 349 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 6: with her. That would be a lifelong goal. But I 350 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 6: don't think that's gonna happen now, but that would be 351 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 6: very cool. 352 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 3: No. 353 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I think they got a lot of hate, 354 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 7: especially because they got into like the reality TV show 355 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 7: and all that kind of stuff. I think now that's 356 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 7: sometimes past. I think they're kind of starting to be 357 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 7: looked at in a more favorable light. You know right, 358 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 7: I mean she was the she was the she had 359 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 7: the belt for like a year or something for Charlotte Beaters, 360 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 7: you know what I mean, like for a company to 361 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 7: put that much confidence in you, you, I mean, you know, 362 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 7: you can't be one, you got to be a ten. 363 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 7: So yeah, I think they I think they got a 364 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 7: hard you know, shake at that because of the TV show, 365 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 7: but you know they did. 366 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 6: And always have to explain to people, you know, why 367 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 6: I was inspired by them And it doesn't have to 368 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 6: mean that I agree with everything that everyone does all 369 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 6: the time, but that's what got me into wrestling, and 370 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 6: it will always mean something to me. 371 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, would you be open to a show like like 372 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 7: the you know, Total Totally Well they call it Total Divas, 373 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 7: But do you think something like that would work with 374 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 7: the girls in aw? 375 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 6: Honestly, I don't know.

I you know, people automatically will see me 377 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 6: and if I say Nikki Bella that I am a 378 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 6: fan of hers, they automatically think, oh, that's why I 379 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 6: got into wrestling, But it's not.
