1:32

Oh man? I'm just uh, I'm riding high.

1:34

I'm doing great.

1:35

Yeah, everything's just fluffy

1:38

ducks in the eyes up your universe

1:40

and uh I'm loving every minute of it.

1:42

Awesome. Okay, Well, just

1:44

uh, you know, because I always have to give you a little bit of

1:46

an update on my health for

1:49

those of you who care. Some people do, some

1:51

people tweet me how you feeling. I

1:54

didn't get the best news. I got a

1:56

report from my gi doctor. They still

1:58

don't know what's causing the opinion, which is

2:00

very upsetting to me, but they

2:03

did find a couple cysts. He

2:06

tends to worry about one of

2:08

them, so he wants me to go to

2:10

my guide in collogists, which I think

2:12

was my next step anyway, to try

2:15

and go back and see if they can

2:17

help me over there. But I also have a fatty

2:19

liver, which I'm stumped because,

2:21

like I'm I'm not really

2:23

a drinker, Like I drink on occasion,

2:26

and I couldn't tell you the

2:28

last time I had a cocktail. Honestly,

2:31

I don't even know what it was because last night was

2:35

it last No, it was Monday night. We

2:37

had my birthday celebration and I didn't

2:39

drink at all, and I talked about having

2:41

a drink, but when I got that report, I was like, oh, I

2:43

don't think I want to. I

2:45

don't think I want to drink.

2:47

You know, I didn't even realize we didn't drink. No

2:51

champagne or anything.

2:53

No, I didn't drink anything, and

2:56

I don't know. Like I looked it up

2:58

and there's ways to reverse it, and

3:01

which is good because I'm gonna do

3:03

that and follow it. But like I'm not

3:05

an alcoholic. My diet's

3:08

pretty good. I mean, you know, we have cheat

3:10

these once in a while, but it's not like I'm

3:13

eating like fried food every single

3:15

day or take out every single day.

3:18

A lot of the times it's the carnivore. I

3:20

eat a lot of meats. I eat a lot of chicken and

3:23

steak and vegetables, so

3:26

I you know, they did say

3:28

it could be hereditary too, so

3:31

I don't you know. Unfortunately,

3:33

I don't have anybody to ask on that

3:36

that note. But I

3:38

just I think I'm gonna try more

3:41

fasting, which I hate

3:43

doing, but they say fasting can

3:45

reverse it for you, and I

3:48

don't know. It sucks because every

3:51

time I take a test, they find something

3:53

else that I have to go.

3:54

To another doctor for.

3:57

I'm just tire to go into these doctors,

3:59

you know. So hopefully

4:02

I can get that cleared up. But otherwise

4:05

my cold's going away. I

4:07

think I sound a lot better times

4:09

better. Yeah, I was actually able

4:11

to do stuff around the house today and move

4:14

and feel better. So that's

4:16

a good thing.

4:17

Yeah.

4:17

Yeah, I felt bad for you when we first started

4:20

recording about a week ago. We

4:22

had, you know, a couple of shows in a row. Basically,

4:24

yeah, you sounded so congested. I

4:27

felt bad, but I was like, man, we got work to

4:29

do, but you were so dedicated.

4:31

I was like this, this is what we call a

4:34

trooper right here.

4:35

You know, when you have to do it,

4:38

you don't really have a choice. Back

4:40

in the day, it was like, I don't feel good. Can we not record

4:43

today? Can we record another day? We were able

4:45

to do that, but listen, iHeartRadio.

4:47

We have to have it in a certain time every

4:49

week and we will be in our

4:52

chairs, rain or shine, sickness or

4:54

health. And it's like a marriage,

4:56

isn't it.

4:56

It's for your favorite release time? Three to one?

4:59

Am I am?

5:00

I love it. I look at the look at my

5:02

phone. I go, is it time yet?

5:03

No?

5:04

Okay, I put my phone lay down a little longer

5:06

before.

5:06

I guess so paranoid. I don't hit that one on

5:09

the publish When.

5:10

I hit oh my god, could you imagine three?

5:12

I'm like that happened once.

5:14

Remember that one day it wasn't up and I was

5:16

like, where is it?

5:17

Oh my god? No, that was That

5:19

was the worst second show.

5:22

That wasn't the second show.

5:23

The first show was like a glove perfect

5:26

second one. Mayhem, Wow,

5:29

his fault was that it was mine

5:32

somebody's fault. One thing that the gester will do.

5:35

Pass the book. No, it really wasn't

5:37

my father. That was we were just getting to know the system.

5:39

The system was down, I said in the ticket. It was fixed

5:41

8:00

She's trust me, She's she's

8:03

all Sometimes all I can handle, okay,

8:05

because she's she gets she gets

8:07

crazy, so sometimes it's

8:09

all I can handle. I've been in ac too many times

8:11

with her where she is the one

8:13

that gets into trouble. I had to carry

8:16

her out of a place that then I saw Charles

8:18

Barkley get carried out.

8:20

What's your hotel of choice? Oh?

8:22

Borgotta Borgoda is the only

8:25

place. But we used to love going to Bally's

8:28

when we were just shit faced,

8:31

really just because

8:34

you know, not really like the

8:36

greatest. It's not terrible, but like,

8:39

I don't know Bally's, but like fifteen

8:41

years ago, wasn't like, you know, on top

8:43

of the line. But we just loved going there and just

8:45

getting shit face gambling

8:48

and just staying there

8:51

and smoking a couple of smokes

8:53

and oh, hanging.

8:54

Out smoking smokes. I didn't.

8:56

Yeah, the Chadster used to smoke asually

8:59

9:15

Okay, well good?

9:17

I love the Borgotta. Was there when the Borgatta opened.

9:20

Yes, love Borga Brgotta

9:23

9:25

Oh god, yeah, I think

9:27

I think it just.

9:28

Had it's like twentieth anniversary or something,

9:31

and that was considered like the new hip.

9:33

The amazing ow.

9:35

Oceans is really nice too, never

9:38

been. I went we we

9:40

were staying up we Gotta and we we went

9:42

over to Oceans

9:44

and a drunken fury got into

9:47

uh An

9:49

Uber me, Betty and

9:51

two friends of ours and went there at

9:53

like twelve thirty at night, and I was like, what

9:56

are we doing? Like I'm supposed to be

9:58

bed right now. We

10:00

stayed there until like two thirty three o'clock in the

10:02

morning, and it was beautiful. It was they just

10:05

opened it, they had just opened. It was really

10:07

pretty. But I've never slept there over night.

10:10

So it's been a while.

10:12

Yeah, I remember when the borg Gotta first opened. Uh,

10:15

Liz had a friend who's uh now

10:17

ex husband. This guy

10:20

might have had what we consider to be a quote

10:23

gambling problem.

10:24

Uh huh.

10:25

This dude just used to get free

10:27

shit left and right, swag here,

10:30

room here, free this, free,

10:32

free dinner in this plate.

10:34

And we just used to park our

10:37

behinds on a Friday night at

10:39

Borgatta and go home Sunday morning.

10:41

It was the best time whatever

10:45

six and seven. Whenever they

10:47

first go, oh my god, this guy was degenerate

10:50

gambler. But man, we just coasted

10:52

on his luck. And sometimes

10:55

that's right.

10:56

Can you go ahead and send the link?

10:58

Already sent, already sent?

11:00

Okay, all right, I'm going to text her

11:03

and then when she pops up, we'll give her a

11:05

little intro. Yeah, it's it's it's

11:07

a lot of fun. It's something you know, I

11:09

can't do every weekend, obviously,

11:11

but we go to

11:14

maybe every two or three months,

11:17

so what four times a year, and

11:19

I look forward to it. It's a lot of fun. So

11:22

we're gonna have a good weekend.

11:23

And you

11:25

know, and I gotta say, the last time I

11:27

was there, could have been one of the most lame

11:30

bachelor parties that was ever put

11:32

together in mankind

11:35

history.

11:36

It was so boring.

11:37

No, hooker's in a trunk, not a.

11:40

Thing I wanted. Oh man, I can now.

11:42

I'm not gonna.

11:43

Criminate anybody by saying anything, but it

11:45

just was boring. Okay,

11:48

well I oh man, all

11:50

right, I'm trying to remember it now.

11:51

On the spot it was boring.

11:53

I was boring.

11:54

YadA, YadA, YadA. It was boring. So a YadA,

11:56

YadA YadA.

11:57

Let need a better trip because of that's

12:00

our last trip there. That kind of sucks.

12:01

Boring, boring, boring,

12:04

boring.

12:06

Wow, here

12:08

we go. All right, Okay, So this

12:10

is a girl that I owe, a woman

12:13

I should say that I've recently met,

12:15

not too long ago, and I fell in love with her

12:17

and I wanted her to come on the pod to talk

12:19

to me. She is a current star

12:21

of TNA. She's in the system, and

12:24

her name is Alicia Edwards. Hello,

12:26

my dear, I

12:29

was so cute. Yeah.

12:31

Right, I'm literally in the middle of moving.

12:33

So I'm like, yes, we just

12:35

moved this week, and then we also have

12:38

work.

12:39

We're traveling tomorrow for New Orleans

12:41

for no surrender.

12:43

Well we're gonna talk about that.

12:45

It's been one crazy week, but

12:47

super excited about everything and never

12:50

to actually be here talking to you.

12:53

Oh, I appreciate I

12:55

love that you came on with all this going

12:57

on. Thank you so much for making time for

12:59

me of the corse. I appreciate

13:01

that. So I was saying that I've recently

13:04

met you. We

13:06

were at a

13:09

couple.

13:12

Khan was it Dallas?

13:15

You know, I always get so confused with them

13:17

all, but like it was one of those conventions.

13:20

It was one of the cons and Brian Myers

13:22

was having like a party in his

13:25

room and he had invited Shane

13:27

and I and we were like the oldest people there. And I

13:29

was like, I don't know, they're

13:32

gonna be all young. I don't know if they're gonna

13:34

want to talk to me or not. And so

13:36

we went and it was so funny because

13:38

Shane was sitting on the other

13:41

side and like he can't hear.

13:44

He's like, God, like this is try hear

13:46

people talk to him. There were so many

13:48

people in the room, but I got to sit with you

13:51

for a little bit and chat and you

13:53

were so sweet, and I was like, I

13:55

love these girls. And it was Impact.

13:58

At the time, I said, if I can be anywhere,

14:01

I'd want to work for Impact because

14:03

you girls were so down the earth

14:05

and so sweet and not in a fake,

14:08

you know, that fake bitchy kind of way. No,

14:11

you guys were so welcoming and

14:13

so nice to me and

14:16

to Shane, even though he didn't know what world he was

14:18

in. But it was so fun and I

14:20

was like, oh my god, I feel like it's nineteen ninety

14:22

sixty guys, like I felt, Yeah, it's

14:25

different.

14:26

I mean, I also think like it

14:28

was a good group that night. So a lot of us

14:30

are grizzled at this point, so we're kind.

14:32

Of like we're kind of grizzled from

14:34

your generation of like

14:37

like kind of being humble and kind

14:39

of just hanging and like kind of being real,

14:42

right, And that's kind of how we connected, right,

14:44

We just there's no bullshit, there's no

14:46

it's it's not like it's black

14:49

or white, and that's it.

14:50

Right.

14:50

It was great.

14:51

It was great, were very It was a very old school

14:54

too, so I think that's kind of how

14:56

we.

14:56

Connected as well.

14:57

So I think that's a lost art

14:59

because there's so many people

15:02

like around your age that don't

15:05

think the way you do, and they

15:07

have a totally different vibe,

15:09

like going into like their locker room,

15:12

they don't even look at you. Yeah, so you

15:14

know. And I'm not saying like when when we walk

15:17

into a room, everybody's got to bow down. But

15:19

it's nice for people to say, oh, hi,

15:22

if you say if I say hi, I'm Francine.

15:24

I don't want you to say yeah, I know. I

15:27

want you to go, hi, I'm so and so, and

15:29

then you can have a conversation. And

15:31

some people are so rude, and you guys

15:34

were the best and so nice

15:36

and I had such a good time just

15:39

on.

15:39

I can't wait. I can't wait for part

15:41

two.

15:42

I hope there's a part too, because I love.

15:44

There's always there's always a

15:46

sequel.

15:47

Is a part two somewhere?

15:49

Right, Yes, there will always be a

15:51

part two.

15:52

I love that.

15:53

But I also think.

15:54

I kind of got lucky with my career

15:56

where I kind of was brought and like

15:59

I saw started like I don't know, I

16:02

always hate saying how long I've wrestled, but

16:04

over fifteen years ago where things

16:06

were a lot different, right, So, like

16:09

I'm kind of very blessed

16:11

that I got to you know, learn

16:14

the business during that time because

16:17

now when I'm like in the

16:19

game, I'm very rational

16:22

and not entitled as like how

16:24

the.

16:24

New generation might seem.

16:26

She's so like, I really think I

16:28

kind of got lucky because like if I got

16:31

signed maybe ten years ago, I might

16:33

not have that mentality, right, So

16:35

like a lot of times like, oh.

16:36

Well I'm thirty seven, I've been around

16:38

for a whiles.

16:39

It like passed my time, and I really

16:41

think it's like my prime where it's wild,

16:44

because I thought it was more towards the end, right,

16:46

So I really think I got kind of lucky

16:48

of my journey of

16:51

where I started, what generation I

16:53

started with, because then I have that

16:55

mentality of like things are

16:57

a lot different, Like it was very hard for me

16:59

to evolve with wrestling as

17:01

like things change, like inter gender

17:04

wrestling, more

17:07

of the spots and matches.

17:09

I'm more of a storyteller. I like the

17:12

energy, like you know what I

17:15

mean, Like the valet part of

17:17

it, the entertainment part of

17:19

it.

17:19

Like I hate wrestling, to be honest,

17:22

but I do it because you kind of have to, right.

17:25

So you would rather work ringside than

17:27

be a competitor, a full fledged wrestler.

17:30

If obviously, if I get paid the same

17:33

as if I had to put boots, like you know what I

17:35

mean, like if it's the same as that one,

17:38

right.

17:39

And I also think it takes a lot of work to

17:41

be a ringside. A lot of people kind of

17:43

take.

17:43

Don't understand how much work it

17:46

really truly takes. Like you're

17:48

kind of a puzzle piece to a lot of things.

17:51

Like right now, we have the system, which is

17:53

a good group that we have. It's Moose, Eddie

17:55

Edwards, myself and

17:57

Myers, and you know,

18:00

sometimes people like, oh, well, she's just a girl. No,

18:02

the like the manager sometimes

18:04

is a really important piece of the group.

18:06

It kind of is the glue that holds it all

18:08

together.

18:09

So I think, like sometimes

18:12

I second guess the whole ring side thing,

18:14

but I think it's actually a good trait

18:18

to have and be able to, you know, perform

18:21

in that, you know, because a lot of people

18:23

can't be a good valet. I mean, you could go out

18:25

there and look good, but that doesn't mean I mean,

18:27

look at you, you were a great valet and easw.

18:30

Well, thank you. I agree with your

18:32

statement. I feel like the art

18:34

of the valet manager has

18:37

been missing for a really long

18:39

time. There was a lot There was a

18:41

very long stretch where they

18:44

didn't have anybody at ringside.

18:46

It was just the two workers or the four workers

18:48

for a tag or whatever. And like

18:51

me, I always loved watching the

18:53

girls on the outside because you never know

18:56

when they're going to get involved, and there was always

18:59

that aspect of oh my god, what is she

19:01

going to do? Yeah, and it

19:04

keeps the people on their toes. They're watching

19:06

you to see how you're reacting

19:08

to the match. So, yes, you are a key puzzle

19:10

piece in that whole scenario

19:13

of the angle, and sometimes

19:15

the angle will revolve completely around

19:17

the girl.

19:18

Yeah, I mean done.

19:21

We've done a lot of cool things.

19:22

And I think like Eddie,

19:26

like right now, he's a heel, but sometimes it's

19:28

kind of hard to hate him. And then once I

19:31

turn the yale and I aligned with him,

19:33

it's so much easier to hate him because

19:35

it's easy to hate me. Right,

19:37

So I think I bring that extra

19:39

element to it as well. So I mean,

19:42

like I said, I think it's a job in itself

19:44

to kind of be at LA.

19:46

Yeah, I think you guys are doing a great job.

19:48

I was recently in Disney world, and

19:51

we got access and

19:53

I sat down, I watched the whole hour,

19:56

and you guys were on it, And first of all, you looked

19:58

gorgeous. It's absolutely

20:01

gorgeous. But I like it

20:03

reminds me a little bit of the Triple Threat. It's

20:05

like, you know, you got the three guys, you got the hot

20:07

manager. Not put myself

20:10

over as hot, but you know what I'm saying. You looked great

20:12

and and everybody worked together so

20:14

well, and it just I

20:17

love the aspect of a girl being at ringside.

20:19

So I'm so glad that you get to do that and you're

20:22

enjoying it as well.

20:23

I love it.

20:24

I don't think you're never you're not adding anything,

20:26

because you are adding a ton to that

20:28

act.

20:29

Well, thanks, I appreciate it. Sometimes

20:31

I guess I have to.

20:33

I guess like because back

20:36

to the whole thing of i'd rather be ringside.

20:38

Sometimes that gets in my

20:40

my brain or my wrestling

20:43

brain, not my real brain, but my wrestling brain.

20:46

That sometimes like if you're on the forefront

20:48

of like the championship, like you're you

20:51

don't matter that much. But I think I've

20:53

been at Impact long enough and I'm

20:56

getting to the point where I'm comfortable with my spot

20:58

and I know where I'm valuable and I

21:00

think it's great. And I mean I

21:02

couldn't do it without the team at Impact well

21:04

TNA, But yes,

21:07

I think, and I also think

21:09

the boys it's a good group, Like we're

21:11

friends.

21:12

Myers is great, Moss is great, and

21:15

I think us being close

21:17

on the road as well kind of brings out the best

21:19

in each and like all of us, I

21:21

think we kind of like strive to

21:23

make sure we do better each time.

21:26

And I mean it's great.

21:28

Yeah, And you develop that trust because you're

21:30

not only friends on the inside, but your

21:32

friends on the outside. And you're working with your husband,

21:35

Yes, you're trust your husband who you're gonna trust

21:37

you know what I mean?

21:38

Yeah, I mean sometimes I want to kill them, but it's.

21:40

Okay, of course we all want

21:42

to kill our husbands.

21:45

Can you comment on Scotts

21:47

Moore, like what was the

21:49

collective thought when he was let go? Because

21:52

I remember reading it and I

21:54

was shocked.

21:57

I think like everyone

21:59

was shocked. I think the wrestling world was shocked,

22:01

the locker room was shocked.

22:03

I think our momentum

22:05

is probably the highest it's been

22:08

in years, even a decade.

22:10

I would say.

22:11

I mean I've been with Impact six seven years,

22:13

so almost close to a decade. I think is

22:15

we have the highest momentum we've had, So

22:17

I think the firing of Scott

22:19

kind of came. It was a little blindsided,

22:23

but I mean, like, what are you gonna do? I mean,

22:25

I'm loyal to Scott, but I'm also loyal to

22:28

TNA, and I think, you know, the

22:30

engine needs to keep running, and I think

22:32

we need to keep the momentum going, like

22:35

that's all we can really do. I mean, Scott

22:37

was a real puzzle piece

22:39

in our journey that we had,

22:42

you know, making TNA what it is now. But I

22:44

mean, at the end of the day, the locker

22:46

room did as much work as Scott did.

22:48

So I think the locker room

22:51

just needs to come together and stay positive

22:53

and keep the ball rolling, and I mean

22:56

that's.

22:56

All we can really do at this point.

22:58

Yeah, it just came as like a shock because

23:00

I remember watching the

23:02

name change and how passionate

23:05

Scott was giving that speech

23:07

and just screaming about

23:09

TNA and chanting the letters,

23:11

and then like two weeks later I read that he's

23:14

like gone, and I was just like that sucks,

23:16

because he's been there forever, so I

23:18

could imagine it's a huge bummer in the locker

23:21

room.

23:21

And yeah, I mean,

23:24

and I guess the bummer is because

23:26

the moral in the locker room is very high right

23:28

now.

23:28

But I mean maybe that's a blessing in disguise,

23:31

and I think that's truly gonna what brings

23:34

all of us together to kind of you

23:36

know, make sure that I mean,

23:38

because there are gonna be people that are emotionally

23:40

attached to Scott. Like Scott wasn't Jasah

23:42

Ross. He was our mentor, he was a

23:44

coach. He inspired us, he

23:47

pushed us, he yelled at us, like you

23:49

know what I mean, Like it was all of

23:51

it. So like he was very important

23:53

to a lot of people on the roster, and we built

23:55

a lot of relationships over the years too, So

23:58

it was very it was like

24:00

we had to grieve a little. But I mean at the end

24:02

of the day, like the show doesn't stop,

24:04

like.

24:05

The show must go on.

24:06

Yeah, We're gonna keep going, and

24:09

like right now, like are.

24:10

Momentum is good, We're going to Vegas again

24:12

at the Palms. Yeah, let's talk about

24:14

that.

24:14

So now Surrenders coming up this weekend,

24:17

Yes, we have New Orleans and then we

24:19

have windsor and then we're in Philly at

24:21

the ECB Arena, which that happened

24:24

again. Yeah, that's awesome. I wish I could

24:26

get down their first show. Maybe someday

24:28

I will.

24:29

Yes, I'm gonna say, well, where are you? Wherever

24:31

you are, you don't have.

24:32

To say, but wherever you are, you do need to come

24:35

Meeta is somewhere.

24:36

Yes, I would love that. Here, what are

24:38

we pulling? Here? We get look at that graphic.

24:41

That's great.

24:42

That's a great.

24:43

Countdown no surrender graphic.

24:45

The boys versus Kashida

24:47

and Kevin Knight, which is great. And

24:50

then we have Moves versus Alex

24:52

Shelley in the main event, so

24:55

that's also great.

24:56

Like we have a big night and we have a big

24:58

weekend for t.

25:02

So do you get to get down and party a little bit before?

25:05

That's what I lived for.

25:08

You just missed our whole talk. You just missed

25:10

it by five minutes at City.

25:13

Are you originally from the Westerns?

25:16

No, God from You're always from Boston.

25:18

I'm from Well, so I'm like kind of.

25:22

Like, don't exactly the.

25:24

Middle of Boston?

25:25

Well no, No, the middle of Boston and Rhode Island,

25:27

So I ever really stung like like Celts

25:30

Rhode Island accent.

25:31

So I'm like celth shore of Boston.

25:34

Okay, so East Coast scirl the whole time.

25:37

Where did you train when you got

25:39

it? Like who trained you?

25:41

Oh God, I will never tell you anybody

25:43

who would trained me. Originally, I like,

25:45

well, it was a school that was like really didn't

25:47

know the basics, Like it wasn't really

25:50

like the footwork or anything.

25:52

But it taught me like the storytelling.

25:54

And all that, okay, and you learn, yeah,

25:57

And.

25:58

I was grateful for that.

25:59

But like I ended up finding home

26:01

at Chaotic Wrestling, yes, which I

26:03

was Killer Kowalski school but turned

26:06

into Chaotic Wrestling at the time.

26:09

I worked for them for I would

26:11

say probably six years

26:14

in so like I kind of had my

26:16

bad techniques already and and

26:19

then I met Eddie and like

26:22

I had Nikki Rocks, I had John Walters

26:25

like all those.

26:26

You know what I mean, slick Wagoner Brown, like

26:28

all those people are.

26:30

Yeah, I would say, all those like really

26:32

good like because the Independence

26:35

they were kind of doing that at the time,

26:37

right, So I was green at the time and I kind of

26:40

learned from them, so I kind of got lucky

26:42

a good group of supportive people,

26:44

and then I found a really good school

26:46

after kind of learning I

26:48

don't know my charisma and storytelling,

26:51

so it.

26:52

All ways out right. And then how

26:54

did you end up over in TNA?

26:56

So Eddie was

26:58

there for a while, and then and they

27:00

wanted to do a storyline with Davy

27:03

Richards and Angel at the time, and they

27:05

were married, so they wanted to bring me as the

27:07

wife. So I came in for a

27:10

couple I mean, I was still kind of trying

27:12

to get there on my own in the

27:15

wrestling, so I would do the knockout. I did

27:17

the knockouts knockdown, and then

27:20

during the same around the same time, they

27:22

pitched the storyline to do bring

27:26

me in as Eddie's wife, and then

27:28

a storyline with them, and it kind

27:30

of was a wrapped after that, I got signed

27:32

and then it's been yeah,

27:35

I don't know, fast wage six years later

27:37

and here we are.

27:38

Wow, that's awesome. That's awesome.

27:41

I don't think a lot of people realize how

27:43

much Chaotic like

27:46

set the bar for a lot of people

27:48

who were in like.

27:48

Really big spots throughout the business. Right now,

27:51

like Chaotic in that time frame that you were there,

27:54

sprinkled a lot of people throughout the promotion

27:57

that you watched out on a weekly basis.

27:59

Yes, a lot of people are and it's

28:01

still trucking on KOFE. And then it

28:03

was even like even after COOFE, there was more people

28:06

like Tamasa Champa

28:10

because it's even like even more generations

28:13

because now if we go to the newer generation, Kamela

28:15

Hayes came from Chaota Wrestling, like

28:18

he's.

28:18

Killing the NXT area like a

28:20

lot of people do come from Kaota WRESTLINGD.

28:23

So you shout out and now it's Kaota

28:26

Wrestling, but it's also NEPA.

28:29

They're training school which is owned

28:32

by Chase Demonte. I don't know if you ever heard

28:34

of Chase Demonte. He's been around the

28:36

East Coast for years, but he

28:39

now has it.

28:40

So it's New England Pro Wrestling

28:42

Academy, I believe.

28:43

But shout out to them too. They have a fantasy

28:46

camp coming up, So yeah, do.

28:48

You ever forget to go back there because you're

28:50

now I know you guys are getting busier.

28:53

So actually, funny, funny,

28:55

funny thing that you asked, so I

28:58

do go back there now. I've actually,

29:00

for the past I

29:02

would say three to four months, I've tried to

29:05

run production for Chaotic Wrestling, So

29:07

I've been trying to get more valuable

29:10

on behind the scenes, so like, you know, when

29:12

I'm really done bumping, then

29:15

I'll still.

29:15

Have a job.

29:16

Longevity in the business is definitely

29:19

on my mind right now, so I'm slowly

29:21

getting into that. So right now on the independence

29:24

that help Chaotic with their pre tapes

29:27

or like their promos and their social

29:29

media and stuff like that.

29:30

So I actually do that in between.

29:33

Impact because it is not

29:35

a heavy schedule, but we also have our data which

29:38

takes a lot.

29:38

Of our time.

29:39

So yeah, how old is she now?

29:41

So it should be turned in seven?

29:44

Oh my god, my son's

29:46

going to be twelve next week and

29:49

then my daughter's gonna be fifteen, So

29:51

I'll like, good lord, But

29:54

you're smart to say that, because I

29:56

remember I was trying

29:58

to learn production from Paul

30:01

and I would go up to the studio and

30:03

watch him put the show together,

30:06

yeah, and see how like he did

30:08

everything. And then I was able to like go

30:10

run a women's fed for some

30:12

those because of the knowledge that I got, so

30:15

you're super smart for doing stuff like that.

30:17

I mean, we can't be in front of the camera.

30:20

No, And I mean it's and

30:22

I also know that you

30:24

know, you're not on top for a long

30:26

time.

30:27

It doesn't last.

30:28

Forever, man, Yeah, you

30:30

know what I mean, Like you're there for a while

30:32

and then things change. It's

30:35

it's kind of like how life goes right. So

30:37

and like I and again and like I just

30:40

want.

30:40

To do as much I try.

30:41

I do like a little of a more

30:43

behind scenes of trying to help with

30:46

the girls in a Connecticut with some custom

30:48

wrestling, trying to like promote girls,

30:50

help girls make money in the business.

30:52

Like I feel like the hustling.

30:54

Part of like you know how it

30:57

there was only two spots for girls,

30:59

so like you had to hustle and grind and

31:01

I feel like a lot of that's kind of missing too.

31:03

So if they don't move as much these

31:05

things, no, my god, we gonna

31:08

make some money, you know what I mean. I

31:10

feel like, I mean, I'm a lot older

31:13

than you, obviously, but back in the day,

31:15

I didn't have social

31:17

media to rely on, and

31:19

it's so easy to just put a tweet

31:21

out and say, hey, who wants to buy

31:23

my dress two hundred dollars or whatever they do,

31:26

and boom they get the money. I had to work

31:28

my ass off back then because I

31:30

want to put a tweet out, you know, we

31:32

had to use like eBay or

31:34

we had to like we had to get creative.

31:38

And I feel like.

31:38

And i' and it's like not,

31:41

I feel like it's hard work.

31:43

So it teaches you a lesson because like

31:45

now, when things are just given to people, there's

31:48

no lesson learn Like it doesn't make any

31:50

sense.

31:50

I mean, I I believe I'm not hating on

31:52

them because if I had the tools back

31:55

in the day, yes, I would make

31:57

it.

31:58

This is what I say. Make your money exact

32:01

way you do it. Just make your money.

32:03

I don't hate on anyone. You make your money

32:05

however you want to make it, and

32:07

if you feel good about yourself, that's all that counts.

32:09

I don't care what you do. I know what I can

32:11

do, but you know you do you

32:14

and that's what I say. But

32:16

you're going to Vegas. We have the big pay

32:18

per view. What do you guys do for fun? Because

32:21

I love Las Vegas.

32:22

Okay, we go.

32:24

We did.

32:26

I planned an after party, so a little behind the

32:28

scenes of Impact two. I'm kind of like, I

32:30

call myself the VP of Morele so I help

32:32

with like extra parties, extra

32:36

things to do to get everyone together.

32:39

So we had an after party at the Nerd Bar and

32:41

then we had a party bus and we went out with

32:43

like thirty people ended up going

32:45

out, so it was great.

32:46

How fine, can you be the

32:49

VP of Wressel Khan and plan

32:51

an after party on Saturday night?

32:53

Yes, yes, I will. Of course

32:56

I want to go.

32:57

I really want to go. Are you definitely

32:59

coming?

33:00

So me, I believe Gail and I

33:02

are speaking about making a trip there. I'm

33:05

trying to keep it not work so

33:07

that we can actually just hang out and.

33:09

All right, well, now that we have each other's number,

33:11

let me know. Yes, Will, I'll

33:14

be there Fursday to Sunday, so

33:16

I'm there for the long haul.

33:18

All right, Well, I'm I'm

33:20

already gonna start brating some I'm and some party

33:23

ideas that we do.

33:24

See Twitter's nice because I hate posting

34:10

34:17

35:18

I can't even I just you're

35:20

lucky I can get online. I don't even know what's

35:22

going on, but you're adorable, and

35:25

I think I don't want to hold you up too long. I know

35:27

you're in the process of moving and stuff. I

35:29

wish you luck for the pay per view, hope

35:32

35:40

the future very soon.

35:42

Well, you can happen the manager.

35:45

I'm manifesting it. This would be the first.

35:47

This is the source of where it all

35:49

started.

35:52

Here, that's right, Oh my god, I

35:54

have credit for that. Well, listen, I

35:56

hopefully we'll keep in touch. Good luck, and

36:00

hopefully I'll see in a couple of weeks. No, yeah,

36:03

36:03

Yes off you? First week

36:06

of April.

36:06

That's right, that's right, be safe, have a safe

36:09

trip. I

36:12

love you. Ye isn't

36:14

she adorable?

36:15

There? She is there, she's not, she's

36:17

here, she's gone.

36:18

It's good.

36:20

Sweet.

36:20

I didn't want to hold her too long because she's got a lot going

36:23

on.

36:23

But you're moving. You

36:25

got one track mine, So that's great. She came

36:27

on.

36:27

She's smart for I

36:30

would call her a young and compared

36:32

to me, she's thirty seven.

36:34

She's young, but she's got a good head on

36:36

her shoulders, you know what I mean. She's

36:40

hip, she knows what's going on, and I like that about

36:43

her. So she's

36:45

got it. I'm telling you. I saw them

36:48

when I was in Florida, and like that faction.

36:51

There's something special with them. She looked

36:53

breathtaking. She looked so

36:55

good and they just look

36:57

like a strong like you

37:00

know, Moose is a big dude, and Eddie's big,

37:03

Bryan's big.

37:04

Like.

37:04

They have such a good look

37:06

to them, and I think they're going to be

37:08

a force to reckon with their in DNA.

37:11

So I was

37:13

happy to have her on. She

37:15

did great, and uh, I

37:18

like the way she's just like you know me. I love the party.

37:21

Hey open and honest, I

37:23

like that.

37:24

That's great, so good honor.

37:26

But it wouldn't it be nice to just

37:28

like work for a company and they're like, oh,

37:31

all right, we're going to work in Vegas. You got

37:33

to come in the night before, though, do

37:35

I okay? Like how cool

37:37

mcday? I missed those days.

37:40

Great place for a wrestling weekend,

37:42

you know.

37:43

I mean we we never I never worked

37:45

in Las Vegas to my recollection,

37:49

but like our thing was Fort

37:51

Larderdale. We would go to Fort Larderdale, come

37:53

in early, stay late. That was our

37:55

party haven. But I

37:58

mean Sin City, that should be a whole level.

38:02

WCW used to run Vegas all the time

38:05

every year, and AWA

38:07

used to have TV tapings in Vegas.

38:10

How could you not want to pick a spot like that?

38:12

There's always something going on right

38:15

right, But now it's got to be even better because

38:17

there's double the amount of

38:19

stuff going on now. They have sports

38:22

teams to boot like, they've got a million

38:24

things to choose from.

38:25

It's

38:27

sphere. Have you seen that sphere?

38:30

Am I saying that correct?

38:31

I've seen yeah, I've seen the pictures of it.

38:33

I feel like if I was in there,

38:35

I would get vertigo really

38:38

badly, and I think I would throw

38:41

up. Okay, it's

38:43

all like somebody was describing

38:46

it as a bunch of like huge screens,

38:48

so when you're watching stuff, it's like it's

38:50

just like the whole sphere is screens

38:53

inside and it's completely overwhelming.

38:57

He said he was thrown off a little bit trying

38:59

to like look at uh.

39:01

I don't know what they were. It must have been a sports

39:04

thing, I would think, or a concert, but

39:08

I think I would get sick.

39:11

I can absolutely see it. It's pretty uh

39:13

it's pretty massive, So.

39:15

Yeah, I don't think I would do well in there. And

39:18

I also I also went on the

39:21

high roller have you seen that? And

39:25

that was like terrifying.

39:28

But you're going so slow,

39:30

it's like you're not even moving. And you could

39:32

put twenty people in one of your pods.

39:36

It fit's up to like twenty people. You could have a party,

39:38

like people were literally having parties in

39:40

their.

39:40

Pod, party pod.

39:42

It was a party pod. I was pregnant with

39:45

my son and I was just

39:47

like I was petrified at because I don't like heiats

39:49

right, and I'm kind of standing there and it

39:51

felt like we were at the top for forty two

39:53

minutes. I'm like, is this thing ever going to move?

39:56

It moves ever so slowly, and

39:58

you're just because you only go around once,

40:01

right, So it just it took

40:03

forever, and I was just it was very cool

40:05

though. The views were spectacular. But if

40:07

you don't like heights, man, that's that's not for

40:09

you. So I don't like heights.

40:11

I can't do big screen. I mean, I

40:14

am the worst when it comes

40:16

to like, let's go do

40:18

stuff because half the stuff I just can't do. I

40:21

suck. That's why in Disney

40:24

World, I rode the bench for so long. I

40:27

couldn't go on anything.

40:28

You're a benchwarmer.

40:29

I was a bench warmer. It's very lonely.

40:32

I just sat there and watched people walk by,

40:35

or all the families going on the ride,

40:37

and I'm just like, why can't I know

40:39

one? I want to go on that

40:42

ride, but I can't suck

40:44

funny yeah, so oh

40:47

well, what are you gonna do? Oh

40:50

there's Alicia, Thank you so much.

40:52

She hearts put her little hearts. I

40:54

love that. I love when happy. What's

40:58

that?

40:58

I said? That's so kind?

41:00

Too kind? Thank you so much. Blah

41:02

blah blah. What

41:04

was I just going to tell you, do

41:07

we have, oh YouTube, let's

41:10

promote some YouTube.

41:11

Oh my gosh, there's tons of videos

41:13

to choose from.

41:14

So we have a new video going up. We're not going to say

41:16

too much about it right now because you're gonna have to

41:18

come over and watch it. But Twitter was

41:20

very exciting. Or should I say x X?

41:23

I still got to go Twitter? I can't.

41:25

I know, I always call it Twitter.

41:27

It says X in the left corner

41:29

as I'm looking at it on the screen here.

41:32

I can't get involved with saying

41:34

it's Twitter.

41:35

It's yeah. It's always going to be the Twitter

41:37

machine because you.

41:38

Say, when you tweet and

41:40

it's it's called X, what are you saying? You're xing?

41:42

I mean I think you're posting now,

41:45

Oh.

41:45

That's true because it says reposted.

41:48

Yea post And

41:50

I'm just like this. I

41:52

always say, I'm going to tweet it. Maybe

41:54

it is out yet, Well

41:57

it is X, But I mean it'll always be Twitter

41:59

to me. I don't know. But anyway,

42:03

there were several fights on

42:05

Twitter, and I guess I caused them all. So

42:10

if you're interested, come on over to

42:12

ECW DVA Francine and see

42:15

what the fuss is about because people

42:17

are still fighting. I'm looking right

42:19

now, are real They're still

42:22

fighting? Yeah? Yeah, they're fighting amongst

42:24

themselves over me. Well,

42:27

some of them are really good and then some of

42:29

them hate me, and I'm just like wow, amazing.

42:33

And might I say all the people who

42:35

hate me are twenty five and younger.

42:37

The youngest I saw was sixteen years old.

42:40

Oh Jesus fighting, Yes it

42:42

was. It was.

42:44

Get over it, go get a pet, you

42:46

know.

42:47

But we're not going to talk about too much. Just

42:49

come on over and we're going to talk about

42:51

it over on YouTube. It's it's gonna be uh

42:54

who as they say, because

42:57

I'm not getting upset anymore over this

42:59

stuff. I've

43:02

used that black button like there was no tomorrow

43:04

today. I was blocking left and right.

43:06

There's no reason to get upset. Right,

43:10

you take action?

43:11

Oh I took action? Yes you did, but

43:14

you know at the comments we're going to

43:16

discuss it over there because I'll let you know.

43:18

But I

43:20

was trying to like get ready and get

43:22

dinner ready, and I

43:24

had to turn my notifications off because

43:27

I would go through twenty It

43:29

goes up to twenty plus. If you notice

43:31

on your little icon thing. It'll say twenty

43:34

plus or twenty one plus. I

43:36

would clear that out and it would go right

43:38

back to twenty. I

43:40

couldn't clear it fast enough. Great,

43:43

and I am not exaggerating these and

43:45

the people were arguing amongst themselves

43:48

and using foul language and it

43:50

was too much. Too

43:53

much.

43:53

Well that's because of the topic, because the

43:55

topic is something that people are

43:57

very passionate about.

43:59

Yeah, and I think that that's why.

44:00

Yeah, Well we're going to discuss

44:03
