The following program is a podcast, Wine.com Production from Hollywood, California, by way of the Broken Skull Ranch. This is the Steve Austin show. Give me a hell. Yeah, yeah. Now here's Steve Austin couldn't open up a can and will pass by my cell phone, so my very special guest tonight is none other than WWE diva Paige. That's me. Please, welcome to the show. Thank you for having me. It's really weird being here. Their hard fought win on Monday Night Raw tonight. How are you feeling right now? Obviously, you got the big win. Are you nervous about the podcast or are you excited about the podcast? I'm freaking out about the poker. This is like, This is awesome because I get to talk to you. And like, I had to like rush straight from a match. I'm a little this way, so I have a small little bit, but that's why I'm like, quite far back. Let's talk about the match a little bit. How did you feel about it? I thought, you know, it was. It was cool. I I every time like I'm in now, they're like my biggest critique they can critique. So every time I'm like doing something, I was like, Oh damn, I should have done this or done that. But you do that in a moment because like when I would go back and watch, then I would nitpicked stuff. But, you know, while I'm doing, I wouldn't think about it so much. Are you not good about watching now and being harsh on yourself? I can't watch back, but once I'm in the ring, then I'm like, Oh my gosh, like, I completely missed that one. We were talking before we went on air, and this should be an unleashed show because you talk a lot like I do all my explicit content, you know, your customer orders. So are you doing that in the ring? Yeah, I did do in the ring. So it's like a girl catches me, like over. Like, I'll drop like an f bomb and I have to try not to. And then I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm not trying to have a go at you. It's just like, My God, I think you're mad at them. Yeah, they think I'm mad. Are you? Are you just harsh on yourself? I'm harsh on myself, but I have to calm down. Like I get told all the time. Like Paige, you have to stop. Cussing is not ladylike, its own strategy. And I'm like, Well, it works. It works for this business. Yeah, I mean, not outside it. Probably I should probably calm down on it, you know? You know, I found out, you know, you're going to be on a podcast and I was like, Man, I'm really excited to talk to Paige because you have a very interesting story and you're only twenty three years old. But you've been in the wrestling business for ten years. You've been in the ring for ten years and literally born in the business. Your mother was taken bumps when you were still, you know, when she was seven months pregnant. Yeah, look that bad, boy. How many times I can't? I can't. Well, I've never talked to a ten year veteran who was only twenty three years of age, and so people were talking about the podcast. We love Paige, but she really hadn't been around that long. Yes, you have. Yes, they have guys who say, Oh, I want to go back to your story and talk about how you got into the business because your dad, Rick and I, yeah, and your mother, Soraya, have been in the wrestling business forever. And so talk about that. I know you've told the story a few times, but just got to bring us up to speed on the WWE universe, up to speed on how you got into the business because it's a lifetime thing. Yeah. So my whole family wrestlers, obviously, and my mom, my dad, my brothers, my sister was a wrestler. That's my mom and dad. Oh, gorgeous. And then my granddad was a referee and my uncle was a wrestler. My nieces and nephews and all become wrestlers. You know, it's just like a family business like, my dad has his own company. But yeah, I growing up, I was completely petrified and scared of wrestling altogether like it was. It scared me because I grew up and I saw the injuries that these guys have to, you know, and I didn't get to see them very often because they were away all the time. So I was just like, Oh no, I can't step in the wrestling ring. I watched it all the time. Like old school. We you're afraid of the perceived violence. Yeah, of course. But my mom was blind for six months from wrestling, you know, I mean, like what happened? She would drop kick in the eye from the top rope by this lady called Julie Starr. And so that swelled up so much. Then it got infected with the other eye. And for six months, she just couldn't see my dad to cook for. I was cooking for her and I was like super young. I was like under 10 years old, and I'm trying to cook this dinner for my mom because she's so sick. And then my dad wasn't wasn't there because he was like wrestling, right? You know, so there's no revenge on that man. I'm looking fresh as a daisy. Wow. What does that do for you when you're on your mother's actually lost sight from a wrestling match? Obviously, I would be petrified from it, petrified me, and I was always one of those kids as well that would be beside the ring. Cry my eyes out trying to get in the ring. They know, leave my mom alone, my granddad. It was a referee and he still fought. Like, you know, he would get into it. He'd start taking a shot of new blood, like still something about the ring. And like, right now you're the referee. You need to chill out, you know? But your mother, father working in business? And yeah, did they ever smarten you up and say, you know, Hey, when I was younger, they were they, you know, they try and, you know, kept me away from that kind of thing for, you know, they want me to grow up to think that. But yeah, at one point, obviously, I grew up and realized like, OK, like, I know what this is, and I did a little bit of training with the family because my dad owns a training school too. And me and my brother, actually Zach, which is the one in the top corner with the hat on. It is 14 months old and me and him would go in there and we do this thing called the Rob Van Dam Spa and we'd be running and and my dad was like, shot and go one day for one of the matches, and he was just like, Hey, do you want to get in there? And I'm just like. Easier is like I can't get in, but I did, and like I was going to say, you got knocked out is great, my f**king knocked up I got. I can't remember, right? I cannot remember. It was something. And then I think it was on my bump and I didn't tuck my chin. I'm like, I knocked my head and I can remember just staring up at the ceiling like, Oh, I love this, this is great. I want to do this forever. You know, it was wild. But yeah, from then on, I was like, No, I know what I want to do. And, you know, grown up with my brothers, especially Zach, who is so obsessed with the WWE we used was we used to watch the videos and we just have their little tie and Tron's and the action figures. And I was like, Man, I want to be like the divas. Like, I want to be like Lee. I want to be like, Bull in the corner. I want to be like a underplays like, I want to be like these women. And they were amazing athletes and they were awesome. And I was just like, I want to be there one day. So I was like, You know what? I'm going to like, send out my resumes. By the time I was 13, sent out everywhere, my mom, help me write them. Well, let's go back to your training because it was a basically your mother and a ring training with you. Did your dad chip in? And obviously the second generation, some people just kind of through osmosis or just the fact that they're around the business so much they pick it up. Yeah, me myself going through the school and I was a slow learner and I was hard. I was aggressive but hard to learn. How was it for you? Well, it was hard, especially the selling pop, because obviously before I was 13, I've been in a real fistfight before, so I didn't know how to like the way to move my body around and stuff. So like, it would be my parents and mostly my brothers Zach, Zach, Zach and Roy, and the way they taught me how to sell, they would stand me in the middle of the ring. They'd say, like, OK, so we want you to close your eyes and then we're going to hit, you know, not too high, but to the point where you're just like, Oh, and then I told you how to spell properly. But yeah, they would do that for a good 15 minutes where like, I'd have to close my eyes and I wouldn't know where I was coming from. I had my mom slap me in the face and make up like, I'm 30 and this is this is borderline, you know, this isn't good. This is good. But you were able to put two and two together. And yeah, yeah, it definitely helped. But yeah, especially when I had matches with them too. When I had matches people for, oh, they're going to hold back because I know they they beat the living thing at me, you know, I mean, my dad's a big guy, and he did this thing where he like, sits on people, right? So I was like lying on the floor and he like runs and jumps and like sits on my toes and everyone in the crowd is like, Oh my gosh. And I'm like, 13, like my big old dad sitting on me. But how was how was that growing up? Because, I mean, because basically you started bumping and taking, you know, training in the ring at about 12 to 13 years of age. But I've technically even won things since I was a fetus because my mom was actually wrestling with me. Robbie Brookside, actually, he's down in Anex T. He gave me my stepmom and I said this and I have a podcast too. But he really pressed my mum when she was seven months pregnant. She's small lady. So like, you just going to tell, right? And it's 14 months before she just said Zach. So she gorilla press. He grew the person onto my dad on the outside. And so after that, she was like, Oh my God, I feel very good. And then like, she went to the doctor and it was like, Well, are you on the good news? Bad news? You're knocked up. And she's like, Excuse me, and she comes out and she's like, bigger than anything. And like she said, she went in skinny, come out like a big chick, right? So, yeah, so I've been by myself since I was a fetus, and I think that's how I developed my scoliosis thanks to my mother. Thanks, mom. What was the scoliosis? I have scoliosis, too. Yeah, I had a serious condition. No, it's not always like a question mark, but I only discovered it when I actually came here and I had no idea about it until we had, like a personal trainer, luckily. And then Alexi ACW was always before and we I was like over and I was doing rows and stuff like that. And the trainer was like, Whoa, like, your back is messed up. I'm like, What are you talking about? And then he took a picture and I was like, Wow, I've never seen that before. And I got an X-ray on it and stuff, and it was like a question mark. I was just like, That's weird. I've never I put my back was like, OK, so we're 10 years in the. Yeah, that affected you in any way, shape or form must present a problem down the road. It could, but you have to like, go to a chiropractor, do some yoga or something like that, which I do. I don't do any of those. They're probably uninsurable in the future. There's a very interesting documentary on YouTube that I've found, and it's called The Wrestlers Fighting with my family. And You all filmed us. What was the motivation behind film coming tell? Because I would recommend everybody watch it to get more of a back story of where you came from. Yeah, but whose idea was it to film that it wasn't actually any of our idea? So growing up? Obviously, our family is very unusual. We are a wrestling family in England and we don't have that, you know, so we had a lot of, you know, people come up to us like asking for documentaries and we do it all the way through growing up like, you'll see me doing documentaries or I'm in the bar for like two years old, like, you know, people telling me, you know, and this one guy saw documentary muscles and mascara. I think it was, and it was about my mom. I think that was it. And then he confronted them was like, OK, we want to do this documentary. And they were like, OK, but what are we going to base this documentary on just the family and just me when I was training? And my. I was like, well, she has a trial coming up, and this is my second trial because I didn't get in the first time, but my second trial come up and they were like, This is perfect. So we're going to show, you know, the grind up until your trial. And maybe if you get in a successful story, you know, well, let's go back before we get into, you know, the years when you signed with WME at 18, which is crazy. But you know, growing up, you know, you're in the ring, you're traveling all over the world. At 14 before that, you were tending bar. I was 10. Bob, Andy. But you were doing other things as well because I heard you also bouncing. I was bouncing. How does this happen? Yes, sir. OK. So obviously my my feeling is a lot easier for the United States because this wasn't very long ago. The is only 23 years old and still is legal under the law in my lifetime, which is really weird. But yeah, so basically my mom and dad would go away and they'd leave me in charge because sometimes my brother can, you know, have a future in the bar at that time. So be me, 15 years old looking off this bar. So we'd always get people in there. But then one day my mom and dad was there and they were tending the bar. But these two chicks were fighting near the fruit machine down there and no one was there. So I ran up to this woman, grabbed her in a headlock and did a headlock takeover and took it down. And then this everyone tried to come at me and I grabbed her to head looks. I'm sitting on one's head like this. I got another one of the headlock and I'm like, I'm stuck. So I'm 15 years old holding these two down. My mom was like, Come running down the amount of times I do that, I like, pinned a guy up against a wall because he was trying to like it was being mean to it. You know, one of my friends. So he was there for his, you know, he was like, Guys are like, you found that as an issue. So he's being very rude and very disrespectful. So then he, like, went up to and try to gloss him. And I just rugby talk into the wall and like, I don't know, I had like this mum's strength or something, but like, I managed to pin him up against the wall wall. You know, my friends always take it out. And so, yeah, I did, bouncing in my time. So then everything else was going on in your lives, with the travel, with bouncing. I mean, you all have just just different wrestlers coming to the household needing places to stay when they were working all the time, we all. So how was that? I mean this. This is not I mean, it's different. It's not everybody grows up like this. So what was like with a rotating cast of the interesting personalities will say in the business of professional wrestling? The most exciting part is that we'd have American wrestlers come over, so Jake the Snake lived with us for a little while. It was the most wildest thing and he was so sweet and he said, you know, get the snakes like you just take the snakes from the pet shop over there and Bergman. And then he ripped a piece of his boot up for me, and I still have it, and he signed it for me, and that was like my lucky thing from him. Yeah, I got to meet Yokozuna. I got to meet the bushwalkers like, you know, great to have like, you know, the hammer Valentine. Like, I got to meet all these people. There is awesome. Like, I loved it. Like, I didn't, you know, I was always around like a billion people all the time. Well, let's go to a Twitter question right now. And there were no people on Twitter. Which superstar and diva did you look up to as a child? Well, diva wise, I looked up to Bull Nakano, which obviously I do has a mission, but a little bit modified. I looked up to Leia. I dressed up as she is beautiful and meccano. Yeah, she was a she was a bad a*s. She was, yes, she was awesome and Leia, because you don't want to dress up as Leia for Halloween before I stole my mom's underwear and had like and we're up to my my shoulder blades before it was like this thing. But my mom is like, Who are you wearing my underwear? I'm like, Yeah, I'm Leia. Among the I just was her and you're like, I was. I was obsessed with the air. OK, tell me. Tell me how I wish I have like I was you. And actually, I loved Rikishi. Like those two YouTube with my famous you. Because it was it was. Mostly Your character is just so cool. When I was growing up, I was like, Man, this is guy coming down by drinking beers, looking people. All of I was like, This is this is madness. And the fact that you didn't change your character, whether you were a heel babyface. And that's something that I really looked up to. And so I was trying to do it, especially in WWE, and try to be more like you, you know, like Page four six and then know. But it's interesting, you know, bald headed guys go team. You can resonate with me at the time you were a teenager. Yeah, and struck a chord with you. Oh, I was like, I'm going to embarrass myself. I was in love with you. Like I loved. I was like, This guy is awesome. Like whatever the reason because I felt like, but yeah, no. But no. So in talking about, you know, I was able to maybe influence you now, obviously eating a bowl of Kano, you know? Yeah. Earlier, you mentioned a place on your place, but you guys all just stood out to me. Well, let's tell you what was in your page, because in England, you wrestled as Britain tonight. I did. OK, so that was a funny story, actually. I was first in a tag team called the Norfolk Dolls, which I recommend anyone to watch. This movie is called California. It all the marbles from the 70s, and it's their wrestling movie about a female tag team. But yeah, I was called the Norfolk doll Friday night. So tell me about Page now. OK, so all of a sudden you go to your first tryout and you're rejected because I mean you. Why were you rejected? You tried to be a diva. I tried to be a diva. So I got this trial from, you know, Drew McDonnell, who sadly passed away this year. He got me the trial and he was just like, You need to be a diva like I was. I don't know how to be a diva. I bet I still don't even know how to brush my hair properly. Like, you know, I can't do makeup, I can't do this. But I was like, Oh, I'm going to give it my best shot. So I got a spray tan. I got someone to do my hair like I had colorful makeup on. I like a colorful dress. I was funny and I was I was just all in. How did you feel when you got gussied up like that? Oh my God. I was not. I was not in any way confident. Like, I hated the way I was dressed and I was so tired and I was just like, I look like not that I'm against anyone whose time, but it just didn't suit me. Like, I didn't feel comfortable like that, you know? So like, just walking free. I was just, like, very timid and very like placid and didn't really want to like, you know? And then I had my trial with this. This woman called Lisa Fury and I like, busted a lip open in the trial because I was just so nervous and they were like, Yeah, well, you know, maybe come back next time, you know, maybe get some more. You have to be more confident. You know, I feel like they could tell that I wasn't being me, right? So luckily, actually, Johnny Ace managed to get me a second trial, which is awesome. And I was only six months later. But you know, I came back and I was like, Well, I'm going to come back as myself. If they don't like it, fine. But I'm not going to try and be something I'm not like. I refuse to be, you know, so I come back dark hair piercings, black clothes, and they were just like, right? And the ones who are running the trial was actually Jamie Noble and Goldust, right? And it was funny because there was this. It was like, we're in the ring for like two and a half hours. And I remember Jamie Noble, he probably remember this, but I was the only guy at the trial. The rest of the guys, one of them being Zack, and we had to tag in and out. And then Jamie comes up to me who's like, Hey, tag yourself in, we want to see you and your brother again, right? So I was like, No, I'm going to get heat for this. But I was like, All right, this big old bodybuilders backing up. I'm like firm Typekit Sullivan. I was like, It's like, I'm taking over Sammy and Zack. We beat the crap out of each other like, like literally half the time we're in the ring. Like it was, it was. Ludacris was sweating. That was awesome, because then Goldust took me aside, and then he was like teaching me the stuff that I went wrong and I was like, What kind of stuff we're doing wrong? Because there's a difference between European style and American style. So what was actually critiquing? You know, it's it's the stuff in between. I think we're doing international sports with like head headlocks and tackle. But you know, I was doing things where I just wasn't like selling the things in between. So like he that get me in a headlock, I send him off and I'm just like, Stand there, like waiting for it. He's just like, No, sell it. Like, don't come back up, then get him, you know? But he was teaching me like the ins and outs, which is awesome. The Steve Austin show. The Steve Austin. You ended up in a in in Florida. You came with a very physical style because that's where you brought up. That's what your brothers would tell you about that. Yeah. I mean, you kind of had a reputation and I like to work snug and I was just talking. We were just talking to Road Dogg while ago, and we're laughing about when those guys are feed my comebacks. And but from from the way you were brought up, I mean, especially with a family of wrestlers. Yeah, you're protecting the body and everything. And yeah. What do you call it? Stiff, safe, right? Is what my family used to call it. So yeah. Be snug. But as long as it looks good and you're not really hot, anyone. Cool. So like, I would get in there and all the wrestling moves would be different names like I to be different and the girls just didn't like me. So like the first couple of months, I wanted it a lot. Why didn't I like you? Well, I got told in the end by actually Shaul Guerrero. She comes up to me and she's so we become really good friends afterwards. But I thought she was like, No, I was just intimidated by the way you look because I came in like this like Crazy Woman. It's a great picture to show guys, you know, and I came in looking like that had already had breast and experience. You know, I look different and she was like, I was personally intimidated by that and I apologize. Like people were just mean, like they were mean. And then some poor summary. I've always been friends, but from day one, because we're like two weeks apart. I gave her a tackle, which in England we call check. Yeah. So like and she's used to coming down for girls because she's so tall. But with me, like and I stick it in. So like, we run this spot and I give it this tackle and I smack us straight in the teeth and she lays on the ground and she starts crying. And all the girls is like, She's trying to sabotage you. And I'm like, No, I'm not. I'm not trying to sabotage anyone. It's called an accident. There's an accident is what wrestling is like. Give me a receipt. I don't get like friggin smack in the face. Like, Yeah. So you're known for your physicality. You've dialed back a little bit, but tell me about if you're influenced by the three women that you just named a little bit of snow girl. Tell me about the the transition into Paige because stone cold goes out. You know you sell in cans will pa*s. If the rock goes out, you sell electricity. If The Undertaker goes out a set phenom and the the mystique that he has, what tell me about who and what page is? Well, page I largely is going to sound like really cheesy because I'm sitting right next, but it's mostly based on you and and Paige being so different is basically me an exaggerated version as well. But like, I always wanted to be the girl that stood out there, and as someone who is different and that's where Bella Conner was, you know, while Leo was always someone that stood out was very special, like, you always could tell him from a crowd, you know, like, Oh man, she must be someone, but in a different way. So like, I just got all those qualities and into Paige, especially like, you know, taken some from my mom's style too. And bringing that in. And, you know, Dusty Rhodes helped me a lot in that. Talk about Dusty. I mean, he just just passed away. But man, he was a guy who was one of the first guys that resonated with me. And you know, he was he was in a ring bleed into one iron claw on him. I was hooked. What did Dusty Rhodes do for you? He kept me sane and insanity 100 percent, because there was a lot of times where I just wanted to like, What do people think? I know this job is hard and I moved across the world. When you say that, whether people think that or not, this job is how people some people think like, Oh, they're on TV, like they're in these cameras that, you know, people love them. They they have fans. That's the cool part. Sure, you get to travel the world. Yeah, there's a little bit of glamour that looks nice. But when you get in the grind, it's and people obviously dance on it. And I moved across the world and I was by myself for 18, you know, so dusty was so sweet and and he took me in and there was just point. So I was like, These girls mean to me, I can't get it. I can't understand. Like, like, how long are we going to be here for? Like, I just I was just breaking down and he was so helpful. And he's always just like, I want you to be this girl. And he would point me. He's like, Uber, like, you're. And then Cody essentially said it in the best way. He liked his broken toys as well. You know, whoever was like the full package, he was just like, OK, he was great with those broken toys like he spent more attention with, and he wanted to fix up and shine up and send on the way, you know? So he spent a lot of time with me. I was his princess. Well, I love the guy. It was a magical list. I love what I did, too. What's the best advice that he ever gave you? Oh man, this actually. I have a story about him, actually. He was always saving money, first of all. I love that. We're twenty three and you get it because in the documentary, I don't cut you off, but you're talking about all these things you want to buy. I always joke. All right. Let me put that in there. I was joking about that back in the old days back when the dinosaurs still roaming Earth. You, the promoters or the guys that were in charge of bookers always tell you kids, save your money. So you're 23, and he would tell you, that is so small. And I did, you know, the first year? I didn't say it very well. Obviously, I'm 18. I'm finally under some good money on the. This is great. Yeah, yeah, but not on this, but on that, because I'm sick of it because I have to pay tax at the end of the ad and it realize that. But I say after that and I save now and I don't throw my money away like that. I save, I pay. My tax is good and I thank him for it. But I have a story like so he would run all the promo classes down there and he'd be like Page. But I don't want you to talk like, what do you mean? Like, you want me to do the promo? What do you want me to talk? And so I used to always have to try and come up with promos where it was still at least 30 seconds long, but literally only say one sentence. And I obviously got so frustrated one day and he just wanted the best for me. I know that, but I just said this one sentence and was just like, OK, like this, I was just like, done like, I just couldn't think of any more. Can you get as creative? And he was like, Baby, I asked you for a chicken dinner and you give me a chicken. I got it. And I was just like, I like that was just like, he was just like, Well, baby, like, oh. And then he started showing up in front of everyone, and it's supposed to be shouted at me before. And I was just like, Because he's always been hot on me, especially like the first couple of weeks I was there, he would always call up, call me up to do extra promos, and he'd be like, OK, you're in love with Roman Reigns, and he stole your toaster guy. And I'm like, I've just met these guys. Like, How do I do this? Like, you know, so I'm like. And I call them a mother, right? I called her. I was just like, All right, I'm going to call you the mother. I did. The dreamer respond to you. Call him that. So I do that and I still now and I run up the stairs, the performance center. I go in the locker room like, Oh, like this? And he comes running and says, after me, and he sends one of the girls in the girls is like, Hey, just outside. And I was like, No, I want to speak to him right now because he is like a father figure, you know, it's like, No, I'm not him. So then and then Dusty opens the door is like, Baby, you get your a*s out of here right now. He's like shouting at me. I'm like, OK, I'm coming out. And like, we sat in the steps and performance and we sat there for like a good 20 minutes. And he was a big guy. I just wanted to tell you, you know, he just wanted the best for me, and he was like, Can I ask you to do this? You know, and you do deliver. But today you did it and like, this is a critique you're going to get, you know? But he just sat there and he was just like, I know you have something special. And he was like, I know you can be a big star. One day he was just like, But I just want the best for you. And like, you just didn't bring it today, and it was just so sweet. And then we laughed about it and he was like, And you were the first person to ever call me in this hour and get away with it. I was like, Know he used to tell people that story was the first thing I got for you. I mean, with promos. I mean, what was the hang up? Because in Washington, you know, all the videos that I watched, you know, and getting ready for this conversation. You're out hustling on the street, passing out flyers, talking to people, trying to get people in the building. And then, you know, you're working the crowd, you're clapping never gave up before I came over here. So what's the difference? I mean. And in talking to you and listen to you, interact with people. You're just chatty Cathy. Yeah, I'm sorry. You're just like, I'm going to love it. Shut up. Tell you why the hang up or why the disconnect with the promo? Well, the thing is, I did promos, but I didn't realize how you could tell a story in a promo. Like as we pass out flyers. So like all I did, I used to build rings and I take them up and down, take them up and down like maybe three or four times as many times, you know? And even when I got my wrist broken and I got knocked down, my dad was like, Come on. There's some stories there with my dad. Oh my gosh. You know, they're he's a tough guy. Yeah, he I got hit by a car one day and like, I don't like and I'm like skidding across the floor is on the cop on it. I was bleeding everywhere, like coming up. My is like, run with it. And I remember standing up like, Oh my gosh, what just happened? I see my brother screwing. If it's a slow motion and I just fall down, it's like some of the not like the zombie apocalypse. I'm just like scraping myself, like the front door. I'm like, everyone comes running out screaming like, Oh my gosh, they're OK. And they're like, dragging me in. And I'm just like, Oh my God, just like my limbs hanging off and my dad's like, Can you wiggle your toes? I'm like, Yeah, it is like, All right, get ready to have a show to do today. So we go, we want to cut and run the show, and they just bandaged me up and left and we did it again. I broke my my skateboard it and how you pronounce it in an American accent. But I broke my skate with Brian on my wrist, on a Samoan, which I wasn't ready for with my mom, right? And my dad had like this little makeshift cast and it is in his bag. So you just like, throw music, put it on. I was like, Okay, and he's like, Right back, give it back, ready to go to where I was like, Oh, you don't have to put the ring down. I was like, OK, he's like this for the ring up tomorrow. I was like, Go ! Yeah, I was like, All right, thanks, dad. So how does you know the travel on the road and back in the day with the the lack of, you know, medical and today, you know, with all the trainers, it's a totally different system, totally different. But the mindset from the background you come from is you work when you're hurt. Yeah, because that's just and like that were so great with, you know, people, you even get the slightest injury, a sprain or like they break a nail or something like that. They're straight on like, OK, you OK? Do you need some time off? You know, like, they're very good like that. Whereas I look at. Used to look at girls and the performance there and just be like, well, you may never get a job like brush yourself off, get back in the ring, and they used to annoy me, but I realize like they didn't get brought up in the business the way I did, right? You know, like now what your what's your mindset on that because you paid a lot of dues in your last week or whatever was on Monday Night Raw? John Cena a vicious broken nose. That is one of the toughest guys. More from the man. He comes back early from all injuries, but Buddy keeps going, and that's just the way it is. I was just like, good for him and I was just like, I was like, That's great. It is great. I was awesome. And that's because he's old school, you know? And like, I look it that way. If I if I ever got a broken nose in the match, I would want to carry on. I wouldn't want anyone to stop the match. Same as Daniel Bryan. You know, like he he got like busted open. He still wanted to carry on his match and they just wouldn't let him. And yeah, that's how we used to do it. Like, I busted my mom in the nose, I kicked her in the face and she carried on and we were risk carried on. Like I got knocked out, still carried on in my room. I got it. Before I move on, I want to give your mom some props. Know I watched the match. When you and your mother were working against each other, she's working to heal. You're working babyface. The match is 2011. You're what, 18 years old? And she's a heel and she is just despicable. She's cheating you, sneaky. She's vicious. She's calculating. She's taking her time. She's a 20 year vet. Yeah. But anyway, I want to give her a shout out for the awesome work, and I know this from a world association of wrestling, right? So in a way, she's awesome. And how big of an influence was she with with regards to, first of all, toughness, but then ring psychology and execution of work? She she because we we worked each other for us at WrestleMania, but that we we worked each of us so often. But like, if I would rush, she would literally smack me and like I would like. I'm like, really in tears and she'd just be like, Hey, you're Russian too much, you need to slow down. And that's just that's just how we're raised, and it was the best thing. And then once I got a little bit older, I got a little bit c**ky and I'd like back and stuff like that should be. But yeah, that's just how it was. And that's how I was the first couple of weeks ACW. So one Russian guy, boom. And they were like, You can't do that here. And I'm like, Why are we talking about? But sometimes you do just because of time dynamics. So sometimes it is what it is. But to to your point, yeah, when it milk something for all it's worth. And then, yeah, in today's day and age, it is a faster moving product. And so you have to proceed accordingly. You know, in a lot of the interviews that I saw of you over and over and over again, you would you would say someone asked for your autograph asking you, Why do you like me? Why do you want my autograph? Yeah. And so I want to ask you, I mean, from from is it is it a confidence level or do you not see why people would want your autograph? Because you always ask the same question, Why do you like why? Why do you like me? Yeah, because like, you know, I don't know if it's a confidence thing, but you know, I go out there and I'm confident, really, really confident. But then outside, I'm just like, Wow, you got all these like gorgeous. I feel like it's more of like a low self-esteem thing, like you have all these gorgeous women, all these crazy superstars. And I'm like this little girl from a little town and like the middle of like England nowhere. And then I'm like, Why do you want my autograph? Like, why do you like me? Like what? What do I do like? You know, it's but. But so, so just so that I, you know, I read it and the Rock gave you a great piece of advice. What was that? Say, humble and hungry, right? Because, you know, you always want to have more and more goals, you know, and you always want to try and reach them. So always be passionate and humble because, you know, like a lot of people are not going to want to work with you if you're a complete a hole, right? But so, you know, I want to give you and think something to take from this conversation as well, because when people ask for your autograph, you know you have struck a chord with them and they get to live vicariously through what you're doing. And all the years that I was in the ring, I had so much fun and it was a blast and was a rocket ride, and I knew that I was kicking a*s and we were, you know, and you know, it was a whole roster of Hall of Famers. So we're having a great time. And it wasn't until I was on the Hall of Fame, you know there and I did the five minute video package and I was like able to say, OK, this is actually what you were doing. Yeah. So my advice to you, a ten year vet and only 23 years of age, when you get a chance and you're not on the road, sometimes when you're as you crib in Florida, just step back because sometimes I think you can get so far in the force, you can't see the trees, right, so step away from that for a second and I can totally immersed in it in your entire life. And who knows, it probably will be for another 10 or 15 years, but realize what you're doing and how powerful your presence is and how passionate the WWE fans are and realize why impact these lies? Because look at the story you just said and just, hey, just some kid, some girl from from Norwich, England, why right? And I I kind of like when I watched a total divas like Ashley, and I realize, like, I'm the message I always want to give out is, do you want to be yourself? And you know, I know a. People like preach that all the time and, you know, they're not really doing it, but like I feel like I do it, you know, and like, this girl comes running up to me, crying her eyes out and she's like, You know what? You made me get over my eating disorder. I went to visit it this weekend, and like five people like different people, guys and girls can't to be crying. They were like, You help me with my anxiety. You help me be more confident. You help me think like, Oh, it doesn't really matter what people think of you like, I can dress the way I can look, the way I want. I can be the way I want and I like. I have to keep that. I'm like, Yeah, like, that's so weird. Like, I'm like, I'm getting out there and that's all I want. But I said I was going to tell. I told Daniel Bryan, I tell a story about how you met my family. So we'll get into that. Let's go back to Florida for a second. Triple H has been a big influence on you. Huge, huge, huge influence. You know, he gave me. I actually went for a stage. This reminds me. I actually went for a stage at this point where I had so much bad luck. I got I got in a car accident. I had to have surgery, so I was out for three months. I got my bank account like I ordered something online and it got completely hacked. Money taken from me and I can pay for my surgery. So like and my dog got hit by a car, so I was like upset. So at this point I'm like, Triple H was I was just like, I'm just ready to come back. I have like so much like bad luck and stuff going on. And he was so great and he was just like, I'll get you back a week earlier for this. So he gave me the opportunity, like to come back, you know? And like, literally, that was my first day back and from surgery. And you know, we did the whole trimester thing, baby. So that was your first. Next thing, you know, the first women's next to champion. Yeah, I was buzz and I was just like, why? Like, how is that possible? Like to make history in the like only like twenty one at that point, like I, it blows my, it blows my mind. And you know, Emma is like, it's such an amazing talent as well and getting to work with her and you know, she's come from the same similar background. You know, she's she's done the grind and stuff. You know, she's been doing it since just 13. So it's just like to work with her and do this and give us the opportunity to do it because I feel like that's how the whole diva revolution started was because of him. Well, you mentioned it. It's a Twitter question. I want to ask you about that. The diva revolution. Did you start it? I feel like, OK, well, let's what do you think has been the best thing about the diva revolution and why? I just think them given us a lot of time to actually tell a story and showcase what we can actually do. Is this opportunity? Yes. But like, I feel like Triple H was definitely the one that started it. When it come to an s t, you know, you had AJ who was different, quirky, but you know, and side of things didn't do that very often. And she was amazing. Like, I looked up to her as well. She was different, but he gave us opportunities like, Hey, you're going to have like 20 minutes for this next match, and we're just like, Whoa, that's great, you know, and this is the first like, live special we're going to have on The WB Network. No other PPV. He's been on that. We were the first Pay-Per-View and is next. And he gave it, gave me the opportunity to do that, which I like. And Stephanie was there as well. It just it just blew my mind. So I feel like he kind of started it. And then me and Emma kind of got the ball rolling. This is the Steve Austin show. OK, so that you and your ally, did you start the revolution because then, you know, in the wink, you're come Charlotte, Sasha Bayley. Becky, I thought I'd come along, did you open the door? I felt like it was definitely. We opened the door. But having Sarah Daltrey as well come in who is an amazing, amazing entertainer, wrestler, why you want to call, you know, like she was awesome and I actually worked for on the indies, not on a match, but we worked on the same shows, you know, so having her in there and teaching her teaching the girls not just a diva way of wrestling, but a man's way of wrestling to like a superstar way of wrestling? And and and you know, I fit Finlay to once we come up. He gave us the opportunity to do so. Phenomenal. Yeah. Dean Malenko right now is a little amazing. I actually go to Dean a lot nowadays, like I'll go up to him and talk to him about a lot of stuff. But yeah, so I feel like them as a whole, not just me, but Triple H B giving us the opportunity and us, you know, delivering a match and showing what girls can actually do. And then, you know, Sara Del Rey coming in and then, you know, it just is like a ladder and I want it. I saw some old training. I saw some old traveling videos of y'all and England going to some brown gardens Holland a*s down highway. There's no doubt all the time how the travel from back into the to these days. I mean, how do you travel when you're traveling solo? Gals packed in the car trying to cut back expenses. Usually I'll travel with you, sometimes the travel by myself. But you know, I have a lot of folks as I travel a lot. I used to travel L.A. But yeah, we get our rental cars now and we have our hotels and, you know, they get our flights and stuff like that. But and in England, we would like getting these crappy little cars and try to squeeze in there like five or six of us. Like, try to like, get to the next town and we'd break down on the side of the road all the time. Like we'd have to stop at gas stations and eat the sandwiches. Like, it's definitely different. It's way nicer. Hey, man, I tell you, I was real good friends with William Regal. Yeah, we're down in Blackpool one time and we were down. It wasn't a bunch of his friends and I were, you know, there was a wrestling ring set up. And, you know, the guys are actually, you know, bringing the people in right, the marks out and doing their thing. Yeah. And I'll never forget it because I mean, it was like really basic and pretty low key, you know, like like you pass out the flyers. Yeah. And I'll never forget one of the guys. You can't remember his name. I'll never forget what he told me. You know, I don't think I was at that time, you know, pretty white hand on top of the world, and we shook hands as we laughed at his name. Nice to meet you. It looked at me. He goes, He goes, Steve, he goes, enjoy life. So I was like, Man, here's a guy who's working his a*s off to get these people to come in here and we're selling out, you know, 20000 square foot. I mean, 20000 seat arenas, you know, night after night. It didn't matter what day of the week it is. Here's a guy telling me to enjoy life, and I never forgot that. Are you enjoying life? I mean, the pressure cookers on because it looks all fine and, you know, fine and dandy and glamorous, but there is a grind to it. Yeah, that's that's that's why I actually tell all my friends and my family like, I have to have that fun, you know, like, I have to still have have another life out of this. Like, you know, so like, yes, I travel and like, I'm working a lot, but you know, I wouldn't have any other way. But after the show, like, Hey, we'll go out, we'll go hang out, we'll go to eat, we'll go, you know, to get it. But yeah, we'll have it. We'll have a good time because like, and then I'll just go home run and trips like the two days that we sometimes have a full week. I just went to Costa Rica. One week we went to Lume. Like in Mexico, we went like, we just take a little run and trips just because you're like, you know, you have this one life and you know, you have to try and live it as much as you can and you have to try and feel normal as well. At ten years, what where do you feel you are in the business? Oh, I'm still a lot and I'm still like, I've got so much. I'm still super fresh here, so I feel like I kind of started over again, like kind of like a restart, but I've still got a lot of time. Well, yeah, you still got a long time. Yeah, you're only twenty three. But I always consider that 10 year mark got to be the holy grail. You know, Mark, where you really know from a hill babyface perspective of what's going on in the lay of the land with what promoters you know want you to do with regard to the storyline, the details, obviously, you're probably mechanically proficient in the five years old, but that 10 year mark is always talk to ARN Anderson. That's when you really have, like a milestone for sure. Yeah. Do you feel like you have that all put together? I feel like some days I do, some days I don't like. It's really it's so strange. It's so strange. Like, I feel like obviously I know what I feel like. I know what I'm doing and I know what I want to do. But like, there's still some days I'm just like, Man, do I still not get it? Like. Well, tell me about the transition from being, I mean, when you started with the next, I mean, you already had six or seven years in the business. I mean, you had to be light years ahead of everybody from from from one standpoint, but because you were from a European style. What was learning the WWE, you know, so a playbook like is being bigger as well because we were all we're doing it in front of like. Sometimes even 12 people on WhatsApp were so small we don't show out to big. You know, and this is it like, this is entertainment like, you have to do it to like, you know, there's millions inside a camera and then there's thousands in an arena and you have to learn how to like, you know, show birds. These people, you know, you have to learn how to entertain these people, like all these people on an arena, I've never, ever been in front of that many people before even. And I see that as one of the biggest crowds of what was. Yeah, I've worked at some. I used to work in a car dealerships parking lot, getting a suplex on a parking lot. You know, they were like, you know, 15, 20 people there. So you talk about the people, you know, 12 people, 15, sometimes you have a big house or 75. Yeah. You know, these days on a good night, there's 18000 people I know. I still think that they're like, Man, it's not. It's not a great crowd to. I was 18. Eighteen hundred people in this live event, I'm like, That's a lot of people. Like, there's still a lot of people to me. It's like I was just like, Oh, but it's like, Hey, do we go home for this, though? Like, sometimes if you've got like, my dad was very strict, if those are the two people in there, he was like, No, we're going out there. Let's do a show. But like, sometimes I would be like, like two people on the show would get canceled, you know, hey, I was just like, oh, 200, you slice it like. Does this get cancelled? Because there's only twelve hundred people and like, this is great. Yeah, I got to give everybody their money's worth. Yeah, exactly. And I'll go out there if there's one person out there and put on a show, if there is like thousands and then, hey, I want to talk a little bit about tough enough. Because I've been I've enjoyed, I've enjoyed watching you on there. Such the bad guy, apparently. No, no, no. But here's the thing, and let me let me go out on a regular sentence. I hosted a 12 hosted tough enough in 2011 and I had a good time. I enjoyed all the season before mine. And I've been out filming a project, so I haven't got a chance to see any of the episodes. I binge watched them all six in a row. And, you know, the show is very interesting. I really like it. I enjoy the hell out of it. And I'm not saying that for a plug because I'll tell you exactly what's on my mind. You know that? Yeah, I think one of the reasons you kind of got met with a little bit of indifference is because of the level of expectations. I think when I reincarnated it and brought it back, I think people expected to see what they saw in 2011. The shows change. I like the live dynamic part of it. Sometimes it feels a little bit like trying to put 15 pounds of stuff at a ten pound bag. But I like the show. I like the franchise. I like all the moving parts. All the people on the show. It's awesome. You were very honest with these contestants and you've gotten a little bit of heat for, Oh, Sean's here. But here's my thing. Death threats. It's like you're a ten year vet. Yeah. But when you get in someone's grill, it's because you're an established veteran and you know what the hell you're talking about. That's the that's the thing. Like people who don't know me or like, you know, the average viewer because this goes out globally, worldwide. So a lot of non wrestling fans are watching it, too. Look at me like this, this 22 year old girl, like, she's trying to give some critique to like these poor, these poor defenses like, you know, people are just want to try to be wrestlers. No, that's no. That's not the case whatsoever. Like, they don't know my backstory, which is frustrating. Yeah, but you repeat them and then they could rip them to shreds. And you're not. You're being honest. The money's coming from someone who's done this for 10 years and like, I felt like it definitely helps early. Yeah, I was very, very tough on the first two days, but my my parents did that to me and they were just like, and they do it to other people too. I'd see him in the training and this is go called destiny, and she just wouldn't come out of a show, right? So my mom got in a phase and she was shot and she was screaming at it to the point where it doesn't. You just have smacked her on the face, and she was like, That's it. That's the confidence I want. And she just like, she was like a new person. So I was just like, Well, why don't I use this on this girl who you know, doesn't know a risk from a padlock doesn't know. Like, like, she's so shy. She she she's boring. Like, like, I'm not being me. And it's just, she's been honest. Yeah, I'm just like, very boring, very like whatever. So I was just like, Well, we need some personality offer because I'm not like, she's just going to stay because of the popularity vote. So, you know, I got into her and I was mean to her and all the same stuff. And it was it wasn't like incorrect stuff. I was saying mean stuff that was right, right? But like, you know, I did it for two weeks and on third week I was just like, Well, this is it. Like, I know, like whoever I put in the bottom three at that particular point that they have the promo on me and I'm thinking to myself, this is her time to do so right? So like, I'm like, All right, bring it on. Like, This is your time. And she she was sweet afterwards. She was like, you know, like, if you would have put me in the bottom three and if I would've had to do a promo like I was going to call you out anyway. And I was like, Good, good. But I'm glad I picked you because you know why you stood out? Yeah. But here's the thing is, it's not. I don't want to say, Well, you're hard on them, but you're honest with them. Well, that's your job. I mean, the show is called tough enough. Yeah. Hello. If they don't ring a bell, you know a cold does cuddle after like, yeah, and this ain't easy. I would tell the people back in 2011, I said, Hey, man, oh, what are we going to win this thing? But the toughest part is going to be when you actually get in the business. So that's what I'm like then. No, but here's two on out to your credit as well. You give them positive encouragement, just like you said when you. Hired Sarah up, and she she came back on, you gave her props. Yeah, it was because that's what you you're looking for. So you're hard, but you're fair. It's an honest man. I tell you what, you can get a million people in this business, a lie to you. It's very rare. I mean, not that rare, but when someone will look you dead in the eyes and give you the truth, I'd rather have that all day long. Don't sugarcoat nothing because the truth is going to come out sooner or later. It was, it was like really hard recently because obviously the whole Patrick Clark thing. I talk to me about the Patrick thing because you put him on blast, you put him in the bottom three box. Because you know what? He's 1980 already had an ego, and that's something you don't want. Like, you know, like, you don't want people to find it hard to work with you because they'll be less than those people and be like, No, I don't want to. I don't want to work this guy like this guy's a, you know, and I like the whole point of that episode was like humility. You know, you have to be a good person. You have to be, you know, you have to believe you don't know me. Yeah, yeah, you're right. You got to believe that we have to play a lot of other things. This is great. So, so was it was it to too much ego and it wasn't confidence. It was ego. I just, yeah, it kind of got me the wrong way. And you know, it's just I was like, OK, well, he needs a shock know, like, put me in the bottom three. I didn't expect him to go. But that means, you know, and people like as soon as he did when I was like, Wow, OK, he's gone. But like, I got backlash on Twitter and I'm thinking, OK, guys, the whole point of the show is you vote for who you want to stay. And at this point, like, you didn't vote for him, so you really didn't care. So why are you giving me crap about it? Like, you know, it's your fault. It's your fault. Well, you put a guy in the bottom three, you know, back back in the day when I was done, I might have had my crosshair on somebody, but I'd give him a chance to, you know, talk the way out of it. And sometimes they did. Sometimes they didn't. If you put someone in the bottom three, you put them there, but the viewing public doesn't have to vote them off. If the consensus was, Hey, this guy should stay, then he should have stayed. He should have stayed. So it's funny when you get what you get the tweets like, Hey, what you doing? You shouldn't put Patrick on a bottom three. Like, bring Patrick back. And I was like, Well, actually the biggest mistake was probably this week when Model one, because I feel like Marta, whatever was done, done, he looked great. He could deliver primary high character and personality whenever anybody could switch on. I mean, he may be a nice, timid guy behind the scenes. When he did his thing, it was just like, Wow, like, he stood out. He jumped off the television screen for me, you know, and the whole thing about a manager and say, like, I don't have anything against Amanda. I just don't think she should have got saved because she was hot like that. She didn't know what to sell. So the bears use his safeguard you doing, you idiot. What's going on around? What were you thinking when? Well, you're taking the heat off me, brother, man. Oh God, I was like, Oh yeah, I was like, I don't need that. I was all right. Good luck with that. Because, yeah, I'm watching what's he? What's the story with with Daniel Bryan? Because I've enjoyed his presence on the show because it's not been working. His book is out right now. I'm putting a plug out of the story, too. She already knows the story, but he actually I met him back in 2003. And you know what was I? 11. The account was, I'm raising right now anyway. So I met and then Annie come over, and it was like one of those shows where there's like three in a row. You know where I did, like three matches in one night and he walks in and he's like, no one picked him up from the airport. This is in his book, but they're not named in it. But this is definitely about my dad and brother. Anyway, he walked into the locker room and he had to make his own way. There this, and he was like, I just see these two guys and one's holding another guy behind the back like this and the other one's like punching him in the stomach like this. And he just thought, Oh, love and joke is probably a British thing. So you guys like, Hey, guys, I'm Brian Dundar and my dad's on drugs. Hey, how you doing? I'm really not like that and then carries on punching this guy. So then like he leaves, come back in and then he's he sees my dad and my brother dangling this guy out the window by his feet. They were like full stories in the air. So and then he was just like, Oh, laughing and joking again. And then Malmaison comes up, and he said he had like a bunch of people come up to him and it was just like, I'm so sorry about tonight. And he was just like, What are you talking about? He thought he was just because you wrestle, like had to wrestle three days in a row, three times in a row, and he was like, Oh no, it happens all the time in America. And he was just like, Wait, why? And he was like, What are you talking? What are you talking about? So then he explained to him, like, that was actually like James was in a grey about my mom. So like, they're very protective, like we're very protective family, especially over this one. But I've enjoyed it. So they were pretty aggressive, protecting you back in the day. It was my brother's mostly is my brother, Aissa, too, but my brother, Zack and Roy, oh my gosh, they so OK. So if I had boys, especially my, my dad would have my uncles come. And they give me like trash bags to go, give this to your boyfriend, a guy who goes crazy, messy mess around you, that's what is going to end up and I'm like, I can't give this, but then they made me do it. I was like, This is what you're going to end up in if you hurt me. But like, there's one one time. One of the one of my brother's friends. And he was very overly flirtatious. I mean, he just wouldn't leave me alone like all night and I'm trying to run this bar, you know, like, I'm trying to like, pull the strings and stuff like that. This guy won't leave me alone. So my brother just goes a poker and smacks around that or that and this guy's eyes. He fell down. Come back up and he was like, Sorry, right? I mean. And they respected my brother so much. So they were like, they were like, OK, like official line. Zach did it once, and this guy wouldn't leave me like one of his friends again. And it was in the middle of the morning he called me is like, Hey, Ray, you should part because the man was like, why? He was like, Well, I got was his name in the mirror, and I was right. He was like, Yeah, I punched him. He's on the floor. He should get in there because he wants to kiss you. Feels like he's not going to kiss my feet zagging conquers my feet like. So he did something like run to me, so they're very protective of my brother. Eisa grabbed ice from a pond and like this, my boyfriend at the time and just hit and run the head with it. I was just like, I could never have fun. Like, I couldn't go out to clubs because my brothers knew everyone, every bouncers. They were all just like this looking at me and I'm just like, You know what? I'm just going to go hard, like, I'm just going to go home. But yeah, now I now I look after them. So you miss them, obviously. Oh yeah. Oh, I miss them all the time. Zach just had another baby like Roy's got three kids. I got to my brother. He's actually very sick and he's in this mental institution, but he's doing really well. And my sister, like she has kids that their kids have kids, is wild. But it's I feel sad not, you know, seeing them grow up, but like they do such a good job of, like, you know, making them remember me. I'll send them like action figures and merchandise, and they'll see me on TV. What do you do when you're not doing this? Any hobbies? Yeah, I go to gigs. I like to go. I like music. I go hang out with friends. Like, like I said, I can't run and treads, but you know, you should, you know, couple a day was just, I don't say, why do you drink? I drink beer and whiskey kind of whiskey. I drink bullet. I also drink Jack and I drink maker's mark and then beer. I drink Purple Haze, I drink Bud Light, I drink Budweiser. You drink really any beer. I'm a big bear enthusiast when you get into the business of sports entertainment slash pro wrestling. Yeah. Did you have any goals? I mean, I just got him because I want to be a pro wrestler. Do you have any goals now? Have you been to diamond women? Yeah, I mean, first time. Yeah. Yeah. So I was a Two-Time Divas champion, Nikki Champion and double champion. The youngest champion. Yeah, I have like tons of goals. I really want to be divas champion again. You know, I want to be the longest reigning division champion. I want to have another WrestleMania match and one day, like, I really, really, really want to be in the Hall of Fame. Like, that's a huge goal of mine. I think that's I see that would be really cool around my waist and also maybe change that into the women's show and just getting a little bit WrestleMania 32 right around the corner. Really? Yeah, it goes really quickly. Do you think about it? I hope so. If not, I'm going to try and put myself in it. Just make a run. And I'm like, Oh God, I want to be part of this, you know? Sorry about how WrestleMania is going to at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. I mean, 5000 people. Yeah, can you can you imagine that many people being in the arena? No, because I've only just, you know, wagged in front of like the last WrestleMania crowd. And how much is that? Like a thousand? Just that. Actually, everyone kind of disappeared, and I only saw my mom in the front row and that was like wild. I can't imagine doing it in front of that many people. You can't hear anything. Demon, demon, like I said, you know, he was like, there's a lot of people in there, but you can hear a pin drop because it's so big and like, there's no ceiling. So I was just like, I was expecting like loud, right? And you're like walking out like, wow, it's like crickets. People hate me. Just like, No, you just can't hear it. And I said, you know, we were in a Ford field several years ago was when advance was against Donald Trump and the teams working against him. And the thing about it was that thing is ninety thousand seats are big. And so we really thought, you know, we're staying in the join out. We couldn't hear the sound. Yeah, because the sound was disappearing up above. It didn't have the speakers around. So it was really bad and sad because we thought we had lost everything. But the people were really into the match. We just didn't know it. Yeah, yeah. And that's how it like I was. But then like Dean kind of clued me up his it's like, No, it's just because there's no ceiling. But they were loud from like all perspective in the ring. You can't hear a thing. And I was just like, Ooh, God, the guy was kind of scary. So what's next for you? You go from here and you go where back to toughen up? We are flying back to do time. So everyone's like pretty much angry of me right now because they're waiting for me so we can jump on the old jet ski and go on the on the old, dusty, dusty trail bike to Orlando. But yeah, so they're probably all watching this. Like, will you hurry up? Did you get a story? About Big Show. Oh, you got it, you got to tell me about the golf there, but you got to tell it that story, OK? So me and Renee Young were like, This is a really two weeks ago, we're cold and we were like, Are we going from the bank? Some pictures like, No, I got a spare pair of pants like that. I need, like Forss prioritizes us. So me and Renee decided we wanted to be a sweat pant mermaid, and we both got in the leg each and then we hugged. And then they put on some like country music and then we like dance, for one thing. We also started a dance party last week, which was really cool. So again, the old Tina Turner moves out because those are on tassels. Twenty three, you know Tina Turner? Yeah, my dad brought me up in a good way. His first working music was simply the best. There you go. And then he changed it to. Beastie Boys. Fight for your right. But I go beat up really good on music. I'm realizing, all right, we're about to go home. What can we expect to see on TV tomorrow night? I literally have no idea. No, now we've got them is on. There is like it changes. But yeah, I'm probably, you know, I'm going to see how Amanda did this week. You know, I'll get to see how Sarah did. You know? You know, I'm going to go all guns blazing because I am fear. Is that what happened last week? But guns blazing, if we're going to see what happens on tough enough? Tomorrow night is live TV and I'm looking forward to it.
