41
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 6: emotions were you going through stepping back into the real mean,

42
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 6: you haven't been in a ring more than like eleven years,

43
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 6: so like talk about that. The emotions that were you

44
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 6: were going through within the entirement fear.

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 7: Fear was a big one going back. It had been

46
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 7: twelve years since I had been in an Impact wrestling ring.

47
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 7: It's one of those things. It's not like riding a bike.

48
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 7: I don't care what anybody says. It's a little worried

49
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 7: if I was gonna get injured. I stepped away to

50
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 7: be a mom and I was happy with that, and

51
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 7: I wanted to do that. That was why One of

52
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 7: the reasons why I did it was for my son

53
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 7: to be able to watch me.

54
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 5: Because it's different.

55
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 7: He sees videos or post matches, past matches, but it's

56
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 7: the first time we went down to a ring. Frankie

57
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 7: and I were in the ring wrestling around and my

58
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 7: son's face, his like jaw dropped to the floor. He's like, oh,

59
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 7: I didn't know, You're like pta mom, like what And

60
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 7: he had no clue. I knew how to, you know,

61
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 7: do any of this stuff. So that was it made

62
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 7: it was all worth it.

63
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 5: But fear.

64
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 7: I had a panic attack before I went through those curtains.

65
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 7: I I just kept saying to Frankie, I can't feel

66
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 7: my legs. I can't feel my legs, like I just can't,

67
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 7: and he's like, you're fine. And then the music hit

68
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 7: and it was one of those like he had to

69
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 7: shove me through the curtain and but it was fear fear,

70
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 7: But after it was relief that I was an injured.

71
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 7: I just like just joy, so much joy that my

72
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 7: son got to see that, and I got to do

73
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 7: it with my husband, who gets who gets this ending?

74
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 7: Like I got to end and against Eddie and Lish,

75
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 7: which was just an amazing storyline to begin with. And

76
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 7: and and as much as we don't like Eddie and Lish,

77
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 7: they're just incredible professionals that are so good at their job.

78
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 7: And it was just great for my son to be

79
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 7: able to be front row and watch it.

80
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 5: Fear relief, joy.

81
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: I love that.

82
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 4: So I actually happened to love Eddie. I I gotta

83
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: ask because there's been so many different table spots going

84
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 4: back to Eddie when he put Trinity through the table.

85
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 4: Now last week your husband putting Lish through that table.

86
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 4: Talk about those moments and how important it is to

87
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: the growth of Impact Wrestling.

88
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 7: So actually it's funny. So my husband was in Australia

89
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 7: when that match aired, and I facetimed him crying after

90
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 7: that match because.

91
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 5: That match was so beautiful.

92
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 7: That match was so emotional and it was such That's

93
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 7: what Impact does the best, and that's what the talent

94
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 7: does the best. Storytelling, long term storytelling, getting Lish involved

95
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 7: and now the wives are involved, and it was just

96
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 7: I got goosewok saying it, I just I cried. But

97
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,119
Speaker 7: those spots are So that's what makes Impact so great.

98
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 7: It honestly does, and that's what sets us apart, are

99
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 7: these long term storytelling and and the incredible talent. So yeah,

100
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 7: all those little things, especially with Lish and I think

101
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 7: Lish came up lysh found herself, like Lish is a

102
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 7: bona fide star, and Eddie is well, Yaddie's great whenever.

103
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 7: But you know, they are too talented people. And then

104
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 7: my husband is just the best. He's just fantastic. So

105
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 7: to see those two in that story killer Kowalski, you know,

106
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 7: Lish getting involved, the wife's getting involved, and then the final,

107
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 7: you know, final match.

108
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 5: So yeah, I called him. He was at Australia. He's like,

109
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 5: what's wrong.

110
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 8: I'm like, I was just bawling because he just and

111
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 8: I hadn't felt that in a long time, so it

112
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 8: was just But yeah, I think that's what makes Impact

113
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 8: special is those matches and then how they you know,

114
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 8: involved Lish and and and the announcers Tom and Matthew,

115
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 8: Oh my goodness, just incredible to add to the story.

116
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 7: So I could go on and on all day about Impact.

117
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 7: So there's, honest to god, if you're not. If you're

118
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 7: not watching Impact, your messing out. If you love good wrestling.

119
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 5: That is very true.

120
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 6: I mean a lot of people like to say a

121
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 6: lot of things about Impact, but if you're not there

122
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 6: in the building. Because me and Nikki we were there

123
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 6: for Frankie and Eddies match and we were there live

124
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 6: to see Liz go through that table and it was

125
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 6: just like, oh my god. I was like, I wonder

126
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 6: how Tracy's gonna feel. But it's like you tweeted about

127
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 6: it on Twitter and everything, and it.

128
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,400

Speaker 6: like a big, big moment for Impact Wrestling while bound

135
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 6: Floyd is one of my favorite pay per views to say,

136

Speaker 5: my wildest dreams though. I mean, I love this business.

177
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 5: I got in it to be a wrestler, and I

179
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,679

Speaker 7: stay at home mum for almost eleven years, I never

181

Speaker 7: my speech without crying. Like don't by myself. A funny story,

184
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 7: I texted my I was telling Frankie a little bit.

185
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 7: I don't want to tell him too much, but I

186
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 7: needed a little bit of advice and I couldn't get

187
00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 7: it out without crying.

188
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 5: So I texted it to him because I could not.

189
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 4: I know, you talk about wildest dreams. I mean, there's

190
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 4: been so much going on. We're getting ready for a

191
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 4: bound for Gloria San Tanda said Mickey James.

192
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 3: Versus Trinity such an iconic match.

193
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 4: Is there any knockout pastor president that you never got

194
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 4: in the ring with that you.

195
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: Would have loved to go toe to toe with? You

196
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 3: can give me a.

197
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 5: Couple Trinity, for sure.

198
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 7: She was someone I watched when she was coming up,

199
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 7: and I was like, I said, I remember he said

200
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 7: to the Sprankan, like she just gets it.

201
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 5: She understands that she looks like a million bucks, she's talented,

202
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 5: but she gets it.

203
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 7: And I so the fact that I got to do

204
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 7: something with her was kind of like a little bit

205
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 7: of a like fan moment for me too. You know who,

206
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 7: I've never been in the ring with Lisa Marie Victoria Ta.

207
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 7: She is a huge part of my career for other reasons,

208
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 7: but I had never got to be in the ring

209
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 7: with her. And it's funny because I had to try

210
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 7: out way back in the day two thousand and two,

211
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 7: like when she was doing the Crazy Woman and she

212
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 7: was standing beside me.

213
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 5: She didn't know me at all.

214
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 7: I was an indie worker, and she's just like, they

215
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 7: think we look like sisters, so maybe we could be

216
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 7: like sisters on TV and be crazy.

217
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 5: And so she was pushed.

218
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 7: She was pulling for me to get hired, and back

219
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 7: then that was unheard of because there wasn't a lot

220
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 7: of women's spots and so it was That's why Lisa

221
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 7: Marie will always have such a That's who she is, though,

222
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 7: but that's why she will always have a special place

223
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 7: in my heart.

224
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 5: But I never got to get in the ring with her.

225
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, so her Trish because I trained with Trish. I

226
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 7: started training with Trish and then she went off. So

227
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 7: I would have liked to both in our prime to

228
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 7: have been to have a match. But I mean I

229
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 7: got to work Gail kim Odeb like all these awesome

230
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 7: cong I got the beautiful people.

231
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 5: I got to work Luna.

232
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 7: I got to wrestle in front of Sherry Martel, which

233
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 7: was my absolute idol. Like I got to Ricky Steamboat

234
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 7: actually agent one of my matches. So I lived a

235
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 7: storybook career, Like I just lived this incredible career that

236
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 7: got to do some really cool shit.

237
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 6: That's amazing. So like of course we know that another

238
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 6: Hall of Famer, guil Kim will be the one to

239
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,520

00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,720

241
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 6: your your fuse whatever with gil Kim, and like also

242
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 6: their real like friendship too. When her being the first

243
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 6: one to be inducted into the Hall of fam Me,

244
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 6: talk about that moment they're you know, having someone like

245
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 6: a gil Kim still being a part of the Knockout's Division,

246
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 6: her coming back to the ring too for the first

247
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 6: time in such a long time. Just just all around

248
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 6: that moment there and how special that is to have

249
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 6: her be the one to induct you.

250
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 5: Oh, she's my best.

251
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 7: She's my sister, and I mean she's anti Yale. We

252
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 7: FaceTime almost every day. Literally, It's like.

253
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 5: Hi, Auntie Gail. You know, there was no one else.

254
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 5: She had to do it. And I mean she because

255
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 5: I was like, does Sprinky do it?

256
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 7: But I've known Gail for so long and Gail was

257
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 7: my first marriage in wrestling. Like her and I trained together,

258
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 7: we traveled together, you know, she went her own way,

259
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 7: I went to Impact and then we were back together again.

260
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 7: We were roommates made of honors, like we were everything

261
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 7: in each other's lives. So I'm just a little worried

262
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 7: she might be mean. I'm like, you have to be

263
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 7: nice to be, you can't be mean to be. But

264
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 7: she's that and the fact that she's those knockouts are

265
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 7: so lucky to have her because even Dad's Gail as

266
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 7: a friend, no one will fight for you harder or

267
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 7: even when you don't want to fight for yourself, she's

268
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 7: the one fighting for you. Or no one will support you,

269
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 7: or she doesn't baby you, that's for sure. But she's

270
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 7: your biggest cheerleader. And that also goes over to her

271
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 7: relationship with a knock So those knockouts are so lucky

272
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 7: to have her, like just incredibly lucky. And to see

273
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 7: her back in the ring, like, seriously, you didn't miss

274
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 7: a beat. She's annoy Like you can't like, you know,

275
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 7: stumble or something. No, you're just this high flying cruiser

276
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 7: weight that's flipping and flopping everywhere and just you know,

277
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 7: picking up where she left off. So she's always been she.

278
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 7: I was always her base. She flew around me. I

279
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 7: made her do that stuff, and I just caught her.

280
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 3: That is absolutely beautiful.

281
