- 0:41It's wonderful to meet you.
- 0:44It's great to meet you too.
- 0:45How are you doing tonight?
- 0:47I'm doing well.
- 0:49I had a long day, but I'm here.
- 0:53So
- 0:54when did you get started with wrestling?
- 1:00November.
- 1:02So you're fairly new to the industry.
- 1:05I love it.
- 1:06Oh, yeah.
- 1:06Very new.
- 1:07So were you a fan originally, or how did you get into this?
- 1:13I so I was always a wrestling fan.
- 1:18I but I didn't know I wanted to be a wrestler until I like, 19.
- 1:23And so well, I don't know.
- 1:26No.
- 1:27I'm wrong.
- 1:28I wanted to do rest I wanted to be a part of the wrestling team in high school, but I
- 1:33couldn't do it.
- 1:34But yeah.
- 1:35So I've been in wrestling for a long time.
- 1:38Sorry to cut you off.
- 1:39Why couldn't you be part of the wrestling team?
- 1:43Because my dad didn't want me to.
- 1:46Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
- 1:47I bet you would have been great, especially, like, from what I mean, I've only seen one
- 1:52match, but from what I've seen, you definitely I feel like you would have been amazing on the
- 1:57wrestling team.
- 1:58I know.
- 1:59If I yeah.
- 2:00That's why I'm kinda saying my thing.
- 2:02I would have been a killer right now.
- 2:06But it's funny.
- 2:06Yeah.
- 2:06Yeah.
- 2:07I
- 2:08feel like if I wouldn't have quit wrestling, I would be in the same industry you are right
- 2:13now.
- 2:13We'd probably be, you know, meeting each other at shows if I wouldn't have quit.
- 2:17Right?
- 2:18No.
- 2:19Probably.
- 2:19Yeah.
- 2:19I try to go as much as many shows as I can.
- 2:25I can tell that.
- 2:26So have you I obviously, with my lack of knowledge here, have you held any titles or
- 2:32anything across your career yet?
- 2:35Yeah.
- 2:35I'm holding one right now.
- 2:37And what is that?
- 2:39I'm holding right now the crown of the queen of RIPW championship.
- 2:48And that fits the word queen definitely fits you.
- 2:52You are a queen when you step in the ring and you show it with your work.
- 2:57You are a very talented wrestler, and I, like, I've seen I mean, I've only seen one match, but
- 3:04from what I've seen, you love what you do, and you obviously put your heart into your matches,
- 3:11and I love that.
- 3:12Oh, thank you.
- 3:14Which one did you watch?
- 3:17I don't remember the opponent's name, honestly.
- 3:20Don't know why.
- 3:21I think it was your championship match, actually, because I remember you winning.
- 3:25I remember a belt.
- 3:29A belt?
- 3:30Yeah.
- 3:32I
- 3:33didn't no.
- 3:33It's not I didn't win a belt.
- 3:35I won a crown, like a natural crown.
- 3:36Oh, damn.
- 3:37I won the crown.
- 3:38I don't know.
- 3:38I was very tired.
- 3:40I remember you won some type of, like, award Mhmm.
- 3:45But you very much showed that you were the queen of the ring.
- 3:50Oh.
- 3:51I'm sorry.
- 3:52I most of the time, I'm I'm doing my research at two, three in the morning, so I'm, like, off
- 3:59work, and I just did five episodes normally.
- 4:03And so if I get any details wrong, I apologize.
- 4:08Oh, no.
- 4:09You're fine.
- 4:10People run together a lot.
- 4:13No.
- 4:14You're fine.
- 4:15Really.
- 4:15I'm very excited to still have you on here, I I again, I'm sorry for the mistaken details
- 4:22there.
- 4:22Yeah.
- 4:23You won a crown.
- 4:24You are right.
- 4:24And that was it looked great on you.
- 4:27You deserved it.
- 4:29Thank you.
- 4:30So what is, like I mean, I know how to ask this without sounding like I'm asking you to, like,
- 4:35pick a favorite, like, you know, thing.
- 4:37Like, what's your favorite match you've had?
- 4:39You know?
- 4:40I didn't ask you to pick, like, a favorite opponent, but what's your best, I guess, your
- 4:43best match?
- 4:44You know, the one that you love showing people.
- 4:50Usually, it's the ones I have with my friends because like, the people I'm close to Because
- 4:55we know like, we don't hold back on each other, but we just be beating each other up for real.
- 5:01Like, honestly, I had a match this Tuesday.
- 5:04It's probably one of my favorites now.
- 5:08You know, I think that's, like, the best part about watching friends wrestle each other is,
- 5:12like, they beat the hell out of each other.
- 5:13Like, I mean, a lot of the guys I've, like, you know, interviewed, they were friends, and they
- 5:18were death match wrestlers.
- 5:20So if you can imagine what they do to each other, and then they, you know, go have a few
- 5:24beers at the par after they, you know, make each other bleed.
- 5:29Yeah.
- 5:30That's usually how it works because at first, I didn't understand it at first.
- 5:33Because I was like, how can you beat up somebody that's your friend?
- 5:36And then you get in a ring and you do it.
- 5:38You're just like, oh, yeah.
- 5:39I'm just gonna try to punch your teeth in.
- 5:40I hope you just hope you're gonna be okay.
- 5:44Yeah.
- 5:44Like, you just hope they're gonna be okay.
- 5:46You know?
- 5:46No.
- 5:47You'll be okay.
- 5:48Party.
- 5:48You don't try to break bones, and you hope you both come out uninjured.
- 5:52And then Yep.
- 5:53The same with
- 5:54the
- 5:55yo.
- 5:56I've seen, like especially with the Indies, you see, like, even right after the match, they'll
- 6:01hug each other as they're walking to the backstage.
- 6:03They don't even care about kayfabe sometimes.
- 6:06You know?
- 6:07Oh,
- 6:07yeah.
- 6:09Yeah.
- 6:09That oh, yeah.
- 6:11I've done that a couple of times.
- 6:12I'm not gonna lie.
- 6:13Well, like, you know, it shows, like, the real, like, humanity of the sport too that, like,
- 6:18people need to see because some people think it's just violence and people beating each
- 6:23other up, and they don't understand.
- 6:24Understand, like, that there's a whole like, most of the performers in a lot of promotions
- 6:31are just their friends.
- 6:33Like, a lot of them, if they're a smaller promotion, grew up together in the same area.
- 6:39What's your opinion on things like that, I guess?
- 6:42Sorry.
- 6:42I talk a lot.
- 6:44I don't mean to.
- 6:45No.
- 6:45You're fine.
- 6:46I don't I don't well, no.
- 6:50It makes sense because, like, it's the same thing for, like, you know, Edge and Christian.
- 6:54Like, they grew up together, and they have literally turned on each other how many times?
- 7:04And then, like
- 7:04I'm sure how many times.
- 7:06And then we thought it was over.
- 7:08And then almost a decade later, they turned on each other and on an entirely new promotion.
- 7:13And then got them together.
- 7:15Yeah.
- 7:16It's just it's insane.
- 7:17Like, you don't and they were under their actual names this time too.
- 7:22That's true.
- 7:26I'm like, your knowledge of the newer wrestling is kinda newer to me because most people don't
- 7:30mention that when we're interviewing.
- 7:32A lot of them wanna mention, like, the older wrestling and things like that.
- 7:37But you know?
- 7:38In my opinion, if you really think I'm not saying don't watch older wrestling, but I'm a
- 7:46indie wrestler now that is trying to get into the business now.
- 7:51So you need to consume the current product to know what they're doing so they can so you're
- 7:57like, oh, that's what
- 8:00I mean.
- 8:00I mean, with my opinion, I think with the turn to Netflix and the way they're kind of starting
- 8:05to get a little more loose, I think finding the change, like, where the attitude era changes to
- 8:11the PG era and watching right there might be people's best bet to getting into, like, Monday
- 8:18Night Raw or other things with WWE because now they're back to that point where they turned.
- 8:23But now they're turning the opposite direction.
- 8:26Well, actually, I wouldn't even say that either because, like, when I because I talked to Gabe
- 8:33Skopolski one time, and he's the one that usually he's the one that usually scouts for,
- 8:37like, ID talent.
- 8:39And he said that if you want to, like, do tape study, tape study evolve, which is, like, the
- 8:44current evolve that is happening right now because that's, like, kinda what they're
- 8:48looking for.
- 8:49Yeah.
- 8:50I mean, I guess, I'm more speaking for if you wanna get on to that specific brand.
- 8:54They're kinda starting to go slightly back to the attitude era, so you have to watch the
- 8:59change era.
- 9:00You know?
- 9:01Because that's what they're going back to.
- 9:03I don't think they'll ever go back to the full blown ruthless aggression or attitude era
- 9:07because that's far too edgy for these times, sadly.
- 9:12Oh, yeah.
- 9:13Well yeah.
- 9:15I mean, like
- 9:16crazy when you think about it because if you watch, you know, films or listen to music, they
- 9:20have the same kind of subjects, but wrestling can't.
- 9:26Yeah.
- 9:26Well, I think because they just wanna I feel like it's just wrestling.
- 9:30You're just making it more comfortable for everybody.
- 9:33Like, anybody can watch it.
- 9:35Because, like, yeah, you can say, like, oh, they're soft, but, you know, there is some
- 9:40stuff on there that was very questionable.
- 9:43It was very questionable.
- 9:44Far more than questionable.
- 9:46Let me bring up the characters of Eugene and Festus, which I'm hoping Eugene will be my
- 9:51trainer next year for me to get in the ring soon.
- 9:54Mhmm.
- 9:55Hopefully, in a promotion near you.
- 9:58Yeah.
- 9:59So, yeah, like that.
- 10:01And it's like and I'm not gonna lie.
- 10:04Like, I that's like I work with, you know, children that is like that.
- 10:10So that's why I'm like
- 10:12Yeah.
- 10:12I'm like my brothers.
- 10:14I mean, you know, I have friends who are I I hate to say like that, but I also they're like,
- 10:20you know.
- 10:21You know?
- 10:22Well, yeah.
- 10:23That feels offensive too, but, like, I feel like the characters themselves were, like I
- 10:31feel like if it would've been people who were actually slightly slower, it might have been
- 10:36better than putting, like, Doc Gallows as Festus.
- 10:40And I can't even remember Eugene's other wrestling name, but, you know Yeah.
- 10:45Like, it just it felt like if it would have been people who were actually maybe a little
- 10:49bit slower who wanted to be wrestlers, it would have been better, I feel like.
- 10:54Because you like but I also feel like it could have been worse because if they messed up, they
- 11:01could hurt themselves too.
- 11:02And, like, that's where I feel kinda prejudiced, and I'd hate to sit like, talk
- 11:07about it.
- 11:08You know?
- 11:10Yeah.
- 11:11But it's like well, I feel like when it comes to wrestling, they should it's like what they
- 11:18do for the military, you know, when they say you're not, like, eligible to do it because of
- 11:25some type of injury or disability.
- 11:28And, like, that's because and I don't believe it's like that for I I'm not gonna lie to you.
- 11:33I feel like every wrestler is kinda, like, neurodivergent.
- 11:41Yeah.
- 11:42I've noticed that a lot.
- 11:43Like, a lot of the wrestlers I talk to, they're hyper fixate on one thing or the other.
- 11:46Like Mhmm.
- 11:48I I interviewed on insane Joe Pay.
- 11:51He hyper fixates on death match wrestling.
- 11:54You cannot put him in another match.
- 11:56He wants death match, death match, death match.
- 12:01Oh,
- 12:03He wants light tubes.
- 12:05He wants thumbtack.
- 12:06Well, I don't think he wants thumbtacks.
- 12:08He complains about that, but he doesn't mind the barbed wire and the light tubes and the,
- 12:12you know, everything else.
- 12:15I was at a death match show last Saturday.
- 12:18I mean, last Sunday.
- 12:19No.
- 12:19This past perform at the show?
- 12:21Heck no.
- 12:24You don't do death match?
- 12:26No.
- 12:27I'm good.
- 12:29You've only about doing deathmatch wrestling?
- 12:32I would do a hardcore match.
- 12:35But that's the closest you would get to that?
- 12:38Yeah.
- 12:41I mean, that's understandable.
- 12:42I wouldn't really want to do that either.
- 12:46I mean, I
- 12:46wanna my body.
- 12:48I'm sorry.
- 12:48Don't you.
- 12:50I don't wanna scar my body.
- 12:52Yeah.
- 12:53Because that's where I'm at.
- 12:54Like, I don't know.
- 12:55Like, I'll get close to the camera.
- 12:56I got enough scars, you see, and I I know I've lost a tooth.
- 13:00I don't think I need to do death match wrestling if I get into the industry.
- 13:04Yeah.
- 13:05I'm okay with my standard matches.
- 13:07Maybe a couple of chair shots.
- 13:09I've taken a chair shot.
- 13:11So How does that feel?
- 13:13No one's ever answered that question for how does a chair shot feel.
- 13:17Have you ever taken one incorrectly?
- 13:21I've only taken one, but the purse but I was, again, I'm new.
- 13:26So there's, like, certain I'm I'm kinda picky because, know, I wanna do this for a long time.
- 13:31Yeah.
- 13:32So I know I'm not just gonna let anybody just hit me with a chair.
- 13:36I'm gonna let so I had somebody that I really trust.
- 13:40Like, I'm like, yeah.
- 13:41You can give me a chair shot.
- 13:42And it it feels like how you think.
- 13:45It feels like you're getting hit by a chair.
- 13:48I'm like
- 13:49I mean, I've been hit by a chair, so you don't have to explain anymore to me.
- 13:54I mean, I've been I used to do, like, you know, how middle school kids used to do the
- 13:59trampoline wrestling.
- 14:00I used to do that.
- 14:00I got power bombed on the edge of a trampoline.
- 14:04It used to be on YouTube for a little bit.
- 14:06It got taken down due to violence.
- 14:08But
- 14:09Oh my gosh.
- 14:10I was once power bombed on the edge bar of a trampoline publicly posted on YouTube with over
- 14:16200 views.
- 14:18Oh, jeez.
- 14:19Yeah.
- 14:2014 years old, and the match ended there.
- 14:24They you know, obviously, like, we were a bunch of kids, but everybody knew to stop the video
- 14:29when I stopped moving.
- 14:30Oh, okay.
- 14:32I was awake,
- 14:33but I I if all I was moving was my arms, I mean, I think we have to cut it.
- 14:38Right?
- 14:39Mhmm.
- 14:39Mhmm.
- 14:40Yeah.
- 14:41Definitely.
- 14:43And things like that, what's the craziest bump you've ever taken?
- 14:47I mean, I just told you mine, and it's unbelievable because we were on trend kids.
- 14:56The only one I can think about so because it it was I was at the end of, like, a triple, like,
- 15:10Like, you know, like, somebody like, I O'Connor like, I hit the corner.
- 15:15I O'Connor rolled.
- 15:16He grabbed me.
- 15:18Like, he was, like, gonna germinate me, and I, like, stopped him.
- 15:22And then somebody else pulled up right behind him.
- 15:24So I'm, like, all the at the end, and he just so I'm, like, this up and high, and I just
- 15:30land, like
- 15:34Oh gosh.
- 15:36Oh, wait.
- 15:37And, like,
- 15:37how did you feel after that?
- 15:39Did that miss for a little bit?
- 15:41I was I was okay.
- 15:43I yeah.
- 15:43I was like I was here, so I'm okay.
- 15:45I was okay.
- 15:46I was actually really excited to take that bum.
- 15:48I'm not gonna lie.
- 15:49I was so ready to be tossed across the ring.
- 15:52No.
- 15:52I'm glad that you landed right too because, I mean
- 15:55landed right.
- 15:57I don't remember.
- 15:58There's also another one.
- 15:59I mean, even if you didn't land right, you landed right enough.
- 16:03Right, Alexandra?
- 16:05Yeah.
- 16:05I'm you see, I'm here.
- 16:06My neck don't hurt.
- 16:08I'm good.
- 16:08Exactly.
- 16:09You're still I mean and you're you know what happened.
- 16:13So
- 16:13Oh, yeah.
- 16:14I remember.
- 16:15You got hit too hard.
- 16:16Right?
- 16:17Yeah.
- 16:17I'm good.
- 16:18I'm sorry.
- 16:19What were you saying, though?
- 16:20I didn't mean to cut you off.
- 16:22Oh, no.
- 16:23I no.
- 16:23Yeah.
- 16:24No.
- 16:24You're right.
- 16:25I'm good, though.
- 16:26Yeah.
- 16:29So I know you have a title.
- 16:32Have you held any other titles yet?
- 16:35No.
- 16:36I'm trying to, though.
- 16:38So what do we got our eyes set on?
- 16:44Honestly, I think big.
- 16:45Just any promotion ever that I've been in, give me all of them.
- 16:50Even the ones you haven't been in, you just wanna collect them all.
- 16:53Are you trying to be like
- 16:54You're the Mercedes of the
- 16:56day.
- 16:56You're trying
- 16:57to be the belt collector like Mercedes Mon out here?
- 17:00No.
- 17:01I'm just no.
- 17:02I'm not
- 17:02trying to
- 17:03no.
- 17:03I'm not trying to be like that.
- 17:04I'm just but, I mean, like, in general, like, I'm, like, any like, of I don't know.
- 17:11Like, of course, I want to be a good represent like, how I see, like, being a champion is
- 17:18that, like, they give they are are, like how do I word it?
- 17:25I'm trying to think how to word it.
- 17:26Good influences and good role models and, like Yeah.
- 17:29People like you are?
- 17:32Yeah.
- 17:32I'm get I guess so.
- 17:33Yeah.
- 17:33Like, I shows that I'm, I wanna be, like, a good influence and a role model to others that
- 17:39in that promotion that I'm working for.
- 17:41And so, like, if I am a champ, then, like, I need to show, okay.
- 17:45I need to do this, and I need to do this, and I need to do this to show other people this is
- 17:48what we have to do, and this is how we're gonna act when we are under this promotion.
- 17:55Yeah.
- 17:55And, I mean, that's what you gotta do a lot of the times.
- 17:58Like, you kinda like, you gotta be a good role model because especially, I noticed the
- 18:02independent scene.
- 18:03You know?
- 18:04Do we have a lot of good role models?
- 18:06We have cocaine.
- 18:08Really?
- 18:09You know what I mean?
- 18:10Like, I hate to say it.
- 18:11Like, I don't know how else to, like, word other than really?
- 18:14Cocaine?
- 18:17Like, that's the worst example I could think of.
- 18:20Have you ever heard of him?
- 18:21Yes.
- 18:23Yes.
- 18:23I have.
- 18:24It took me a second, but I
- 18:26And then you remember the Coke slam.
- 18:29Yes.
- 18:29Yes.
- 18:30Do.
- 18:30Like, I don't know.
- 18:31Like, we're supposed to I feel like we're supposed to be good role models and giving
- 18:35kids, like, an outlet where, hey.
- 18:37I can't fully do sports, but I know how to do this or that, and I could maybe be a wrestler.
- 18:45And then you have guys like Cocaine that slam a fake eight ball into the nose and do the Coke
- 18:49slam.
- 18:51Yeah.
- 18:53Like, I'm not I'm not gonna say I don't find it hilarious because I do.
- 19:00But I feel like, you know, that shouldn't be what's going viral for wrestling either.
- 19:06Oh.
- 19:08But that is what's been going viral is him.
- 19:12Well, yeah, I think it's just because it's funny.
- 19:15Oh, it's hilarious.
- 19:17I I'm not gonna give him any other, like I won't give him any less credit for being
- 19:22hilarious.
- 19:22He I mean, when he went he was at, I think, the gathering of the Juggalos, I wanna say, a year
- 19:29or two ago at their JCW event.
- 19:32And if you can find the video where he was there, the crowd went absolutely wild before he
- 19:38did anything.
- 19:39All he did was stand in the ring.
- 19:42Oh, yeah.
- 19:43JCW had.
- 19:44Honestly, I've noticed that GCW does like to book peep like, they book wrestlers that have,
- 19:51like are kinda, like, famous at the time, you know, or, like, are, like, the good, like
- 19:56They either book wrestlers that are famous, very talented, or extremely gimmicky.
- 20:03Yeah.
- 20:03That's what they do.
- 20:04Like
- 20:04I mean, it works.
- 20:06I can't argue with their business platform.
- 20:09I mean, yeah, it's kinda like it's like that with men.
- 20:13I have noticed that when it comes to women in GCW, they it's a lot more clouded.
- 20:20And I don't mean that in, like, in a bad way.
- 20:21I mean that in, like, if you see who they book for women for GCW, they're all, like, former
- 20:29fed peep they're all all fit former fed girls.
- 20:32Yeah.
- 20:33And, I mean, I don't want to talk bad on them, but it's a lot of, like, the less talented
- 20:39former Federals too.
- 20:41Almost like they're trying to highlight the men's wrestling when they could be booking
- 20:46people like Alexandra Quinn and, oh gosh.
- 20:50There's another there's another girl from right around where you are.
- 20:53I I just messaged her earlier today about the podcast.
- 20:56I can't think of her name.
- 21:00Oh, I'm not gonna
- 21:03It's gonna at me for a bit, and I'm gonna forget about it.
- 21:08But
- 21:13I don't know.
- 21:14There's I know a lot of girls.
- 21:15So did you oh.
- 21:24Oh.
- 21:25Oh,
- 21:25no.
- 21:26I know she did wrestling, obviously.
- 21:30I'm sorry.
- 21:30You froze a little bit.
- 21:33Yeah.
- 21:33My sorry.
- 21:35Sometimes in my podcast room, the Internet doesn't always reach fully, and then it'll just
- 21:39kick back on.
- 21:40But, I mean, I know it was a wrestler, and I one that, like, works around the same shows as
- 21:47you because she was on a couple show flyers with you, but I can't think of her name.
- 21:51But, like, either way, you get the point.
- 21:53Like, they're they're it seems like they're kinda booking the mid Carter and the jobber
- 21:57talent for females at JCW and not really, like, you know, the highlights and, like, you know,
- 22:04not the Alexander Quinns or the Tony Storms of this generation.
- 22:08You know?
- 22:10Tony's I don't really see, I don't think Tony Storm would do GCW.
- 22:16No.
- 22:17She I mean, like, I'm just thinking, like, they don't really book people like that, though.
- 22:21You know?
- 22:22No.
- 22:22They do have some good way.
- 22:23That level of talent doesn't feel like.
- 22:26You know?
- 22:31At least for females, it feels like they book more talented males, less talented females, and
- 22:36it kinda hurts almost to see it, you know, honestly.
- 22:44I get I guess.
- 22:46Like
- 22:47I I hate I'm not trying to talk bad on them.
- 22:50Let's you know, do you wanna change subject?
- 22:53Oh.
- 22:54Oh, okay.
- 22:56I'm like, do you want to?
- 22:58Because you seem slightly like you don't wanna fully get into this one.
- 23:03Oh, no.
- 23:04It's just that, like, I don't fully agree.
- 23:06I think they're like they had some talented women on there.
- 23:08They do.
- 23:09It just it feels like most of them that they book just feel like jobbers almost.
- 23:16You know?
- 23:17Oh.
- 23:18And then they have, like, that, like, 30% of, like, these high talented women when they could
- 23:25book a 100% purely talented people off the independence like you.
- 23:30Oh, yeah.
- 23:33One day, though.
- 23:35I have
- 23:35One day, you'll be good.
- 23:36So I guess what's your favorite move to do when you're in the ring?
- 23:41This is a new question.
- 23:42I've actually never asked it before, but I I just thought of it.
- 23:47What's your favorite move?
- 23:53I don't know.
- 23:54I like a lot of moves that I do.
- 23:57I like doing like, I do this cartwheel on somebody's back, and I dropkick them when
- 24:02they're on their floor.
- 24:03That sounds awesome.
- 24:05Yeah.
- 24:06I when it's done correctly, I like doing the I forgot what it's called.
- 24:11I just call it a full Nelson German.
- 24:13Like, I have them on a full Nelson, and I pop them up, and I just
- 24:17Oh, the full Nelson German suplex is where you have them.
- 24:20The full Nelson like that that you gotta pop them up, grab them just right, and slam them
- 24:24back.
- 24:25Yeah.
- 24:26I know that one.
- 24:27I've actually hit that one before.
- 24:29Oh, I like, I
- 24:33did hit it incorrectly and hurt myself, though.
- 24:35Oh, yeah.
- 24:36Don't do that.
- 24:37Yeah.
- 24:37So, like, do not try if you're not a professional.
- 24:41You hear us talking about moves.
- 24:42I am not a professional.
- 24:44I have hurt myself multiple times.
- 24:46She may have as well as a professional, which is a good warning for you guys to not try it.
- 24:55Yeah.
- 24:56But I I also do I like doing libs finisher, the oblivion.
- 25:03I just like jumping on the ropes, honestly.
- 25:06I just always wanted ropes.
- 25:10Yeah.
- 25:12How does it feel jumping off the ropes?
- 25:15Like, what's that feeling, like, the first time you do that?
- 25:18Like, again, new questions.
- 25:20I want, like, you know, the real experience.
- 25:22You're new.
- 25:23You're good.
- 25:26I okay.
- 25:27I'm not gonna lie.
- 25:27I'm not very I'm not very much of a gymnastics type of I'm not gonna say gymnastics, like,
- 25:33flippy.
- 25:33I'm very flippy.
- 25:35I'm more of a throw you across the ring type of girl.
- 25:38You know?
- 25:38You're more of a throw them into a clothesline and DDT them and body slam the hell out of them
- 25:44type of girl?
- 25:45Yeah.
- 25:45Yeah.
- 25:46Yeah.
- 25:46Yeah.
- 25:46I'm more of
- 25:46a I like that.
- 25:49Yeah.
- 25:49Like and that's, like, one, like, one of my, like, moves that I just, like but when I, like,
- 25:57jump on the roofs, like, it's I'm not gonna lie.
- 25:59I'm I'd be, like, a little scary sometimes.
- 26:01So I'd be like, oh, don't wanna hurt myself, and I just do it.
- 26:05I'm like, oh, this is easy.
- 26:06Was it like you feel like you're gonna lose your balance the first time you're up there
- 26:10and, like, you kinda gotta, like, catch yourself for a second, or how is it there?
- 26:14Yeah.
- 26:15It's, like, usually like that where you're like because I'm kinda clumsy.
- 26:20It's, like, a little bit.
- 26:21So it's kinda difficult at first, so I'm just like, oh gosh.
- 26:24I'm gonna hurt myself.
- 26:26And then I do it the one time, and I'm like, oh, this is not that bad.
- 26:29And then I just do it every time now.
- 26:32That's awesome.
- 26:33I'm glad that you were able to, like, you know, figure it out and keep it going.
- 26:37And, I mean, you look great when you fly off the ropes.
- 26:41Thank you.
- 26:43So how long have you been?
- 26:45Like, how long were you training before you started?
- 26:50Well, there's me debuting, and then there's me getting on the indies, which Like, which one do
- 26:58you
- 26:59I mean, that's up to you.
- 27:00You can talk about both if you'd like.
- 27:03Oh.
- 27:04You're training before either.
- 27:06Oh, I mean, like, I started in, I think, the November when I started training, and I
- 27:15debuted.
- 27:16I didn't, like I just debuted, like, my first wrestling match.
- 27:19It was, like, at my school.
- 27:21So it was on 01/02/2025, and I think I had my first indie show.
- 27:31I forgot what day it was, but it was in March.
- 27:38That was when I first, like like, wrestling outside of my school.
- 27:43That's awesome.
- 27:44So relatively quick, you went from training to you were outside of the school wrestling in a
- 27:50promotion showing people like, I'm Alexander Quinn.
- 27:54I'm the crash out queen, and this is what I can do.
- 27:59Yeah.
- 28:02I love that.
- 28:04Yeah.
- 28:05I didn't I didn't know it was gonna happen this fast.
- 28:08I thought I was gonna in my head last year, I thought I would still be training.
- 28:14I was I'd still be training.
- 28:16I did not
- 28:17So you didn't know how talented you actually were is what I'm hearing.
- 28:22Oh, I don't wanna say that.
- 28:23I don't wanna say that.
- 28:24I think I just catch the
- 28:25I mean,
- 28:26that's what shows, though.
- 28:28You thought you'd be training for much longer.
- 28:30Now you're in the independence because you are that good.
- 28:34Oh, I won't say all that.
- 28:37You
- 28:39don't have to say all that.
- 28:41I'll say all that for you.
- 28:42I I don't think I'm
- 28:45definitely gonna keep cheering you on.
- 28:48Oh, thank you.
- 28:49I appreciate it.
- 28:52So have you been part of any, like, tag team or faction or anything yet in your, you know,
- 28:59career?
- 29:00Yes.
- 29:02Yes.
- 29:03No.
- 29:04Yes.
- 29:04Yes.
- 29:04Like, an official tag team?
- 29:06Like, you guys are a team team?
- 29:08Like, you work together?
- 29:10Yeah.
- 29:11I yeah.
- 29:12I get I don't know what's going on.
- 29:14I'm not gonna lie
- 29:15to you.
- 29:15Well, do you wanna talk about it?
- 29:19It's like, I don't know how to explain it.
- 29:22But, like, I'm not gonna lie.
- 29:24I am more of a I didn't I kinda did, but then I realized, hang.
- 29:31I'm more of, I do like being, like, a lone wolf more than being in the.
- 29:37And I don't mean that in a bad way, but, like yeah.
- 29:40But, like, it's but, yeah, I technically am in one.
- 29:44I just, like, don't really but I'm like you know, I do my own thing.
- 29:48Yeah.
- 29:48That makes sense.
- 29:49Do you have any plans, like, break away and go back to the lone wolf, Alexandria Quinn crash
- 29:54out
- 29:55police?
- 29:56Queens.
- 29:56I'm
- 29:59by myself being
- 30:01So, like, you're part of the kind you're part of a faction kind of, but not fully.
- 30:06So you're still you're out there lone wolf doing your thing?
- 30:12Yeah.
- 30:13I love that for you.
- 30:15That's awesome.
- 30:16I feel like I yeah.
- 30:18Yeah.
- 30:20So is there anywhere that, like, you plan to, like, go here in the near future with wrestling
- 30:25yet?
- 30:28No.
- 30:28Or do you plan to kinda stay where you're at still for a bit?
- 30:34Of course not.
- 30:34I'm, you know, I'm feel like I'm very ambitious, and I always try to think big.
- 30:40And I when I get to that think big spot, then I think bigger until I get to the top of the
- 30:47world.
- 30:49I have like, unfortunately, I have really high expectations for myself, so I need to be
- 30:56successful in everything I do.
- 30:58I don't think your expectations are too high when I can see that you can definitely make it
- 31:03to the top of the world and freshly new in the industry.
- 31:06You're, what, 18 years old?
- 31:11I'm not.
- 31:12Oh?
- 31:14I mean, that's you I mean, honestly, you look younger than that, but I assume with, like, the
- 31:20glasses and everything that you had to be 18.
- 31:24You're not the first person to say that.
- 31:27I know I look young.
- 31:28I'm I'm 24.
- 31:31Wow.
- 31:32I mean, I would've never guessed that.
- 31:34But then again, I'm 22, people look at me and say 30.
- 31:38So you're doing better than me.
- 31:40Right?
- 31:41Yeah.
- 31:41It's I don't I think it's it's probably the the pigtails.
- 31:46Yeah.
- 31:47I think it's the pigtails.
- 31:48I think it's, you know, the fact that you actually look young even if you wanna play it
- 31:53off.
- 31:53You know?
- 31:54I think you have a very young face, which honestly clicks with wrestling fans
- 31:59surprisingly.
- 32:00Are you, like, are you the face kinda wrestler?
- 32:03Are you the good guy?
- 32:05Yes.
- 32:05I am.
- 32:07And that definitely fits, with the younger looking face.
- 32:10I mean, people have to love you out there.
- 32:13I hope so.
- 32:14Jeez.
- 32:15Yeah.
- 32:16I'll be trying because, like, I when I have to do heel stuff, it'd be so hard.
- 32:22It's so hard.
- 32:22You've done Do you
- 32:25wanna talk about that?
- 32:27We can't I'll just be like, again, like, when I'm a heel, I'll like, mean mugging everybody,
- 32:34and they'd cheering me.
- 32:35I'm like, guys.
- 32:36You mean mug people?
- 32:38I mean, mean mug.
- 32:39I I'm I I don't mean to be that guy, but I don't like, with your face, I don't see you
- 32:44mean mugging people.
- 32:45Like, I mean, I see it like how I mean mug people.
- 32:48See?
- 32:50Like, it doesn't work.
- 32:51You know?
- 32:52I look normal.
- 32:57Yeah.
- 32:57You know what I mean?
- 32:59I've been trying.
- 33:03I've been I've been trying so hard.
- 33:06It's so hard.
- 33:06We I'm not gonna lie.
- 33:07People say being a heel is easy, but it's so hard.
- 33:11Exactly.
- 33:12Like, it's really hard, especially when, like, I could tell you're a very positive and nice
- 33:16person.
- 33:17I'm like I mean, I had to be the heel.
- 33:20I did it one time, and I think that I that was actually the last thing I ever did with
- 33:25wrestling because I broke my arm back open with stitches in it.
- 33:29Oh gosh.
- 33:30Yeah.
- 33:31The doctor said don't do it, and I was like, oh, I can do this.
- 33:33And I went and I speared this guy in the middle of his championship match and drug his
- 33:37unconscious opponent on top of him.
- 33:40And then I ran away with a hood over my head.
- 33:42Oh, wow.
- 33:43Mhmm.
- 33:44Well, I turned around at the very last second, and, you know, I did the Centimeters Punk where
- 33:48I ripped the hood down and I spread my arms out.
- 33:50And I
- 33:51Oh, I thought you're gonna say I did
- 33:53it for The Rock.
- 33:54No.
- 33:55I did the whole Centimeters punk move where I ripped my hood down and spread my arms out, and
- 33:59I looked like that.
- 34:00You know?
- 34:01And I ran away.
- 34:03Oh, okay.
- 34:04And you ran away.
- 34:07Heck yeah.
- 34:09I went right to the hospital because he lived three blocks away from the hospital, and it was
- 34:14a backyard wrestling match.
- 34:15Oh gosh.
- 34:19Honestly, good location to make that mistake.
- 34:22So
- 34:25what I guess, what's your favorite match you've had?
- 34:28I mean, you know mine, and it wasn't even my match.
- 34:32Yeah.
- 34:34Well, I will like I said
- 34:38oh, like I said, it's like, I don't have a specific one.
- 34:42I guess I don't know.
- 34:43Because I always do
- 34:44tell everyone when they're like, what's a match you've had?
- 34:47Do you have a specific match where, like, that's the one you wanna show people?
- 34:52Yeah.
- 34:53There is my match I had with Isabella Wilder.
- 34:58I don't know if you know.
- 35:01We had that we had a match, like, I forgot.
- 35:04I think it was, like, three weeks ago, I think, or a month ago.
- 35:07Oh, something there.
- 35:09But our that match was good.
- 35:11I had a triple threat.
- 35:14Let's say yesterday.
- 35:16How was that?
- 35:17I mean, I haven't had a lot of people talk about triple threats before.
- 35:21So
- 35:23Oh, it was it was cool.
- 35:25It was fun.
- 35:26Was that your first triple threat match?
- 35:28No.
- 35:29It was my third.
- 35:34Yeah.
- 35:34So you're used to kind of the no disqualifications with three people in
- 35:38the ring.
- 35:41what triple threat is.
- 35:42It's a no DQ with three people in the ring.
- 35:45Oh, yeah.
- 35:45I know.
- 35:46Let's call it what it is.
- 35:47Right?
- 35:47Let's call it no DQ.
- 35:50Yeah.
- 35:52But, you know, I probably would have done some crazy stuff if I.
- 35:55Well, I don't know.
- 35:56I picked both of them up over my shoulders.
- 35:59It was fun.
- 36:00How did that feel to be able to, did you do it at the same time?
- 36:05Yeah.
- 36:05I had them both on my shoulders.
- 36:07How how did that feel?
- 36:08I mean, like, I know, obviously, being a young woman, I mean, you're strong, obviously.
- 36:14You've been in wrestling training, and from what I've seen, you're a very strong person.
- 36:18How did that feel to have two people on your shoulders?
- 36:21I was trying to make sure I didn't drop them.
- 36:24That was my main concern.
- 36:26To make sure you didn't buckle down off of the deadlift.
- 36:29Yeah.
- 36:30Yeah.
- 36:30Yeah.
- 36:31Yeah.
- 36:31Yeah.
- 36:31That was literally my main my main thing was do not drop them.
- 36:36Do not drop them.
- 36:38Do not hurt your opponent.
- 36:39I love it.
- 36:40Not you are
- 36:42like, do not let my knee buckle.
- 36:44You were like, do not let them drop.
- 36:47Yeah.
- 36:47You did not care what happened to you.
- 36:49You cared what happened to them, and that shows that you not only care about your career, but
- 36:53you care about everybody else's as well.
- 36:55Oh my goodness.
- 36:56Like, I'm not gonna lie.
- 36:57I low key messed up the spot because okay.
- 37:00So after I pick them up, I was supposed to do, like, a double Samoan, and it was supposed to
- 37:04be, like, an all down spot.
- 37:06But I got up, and I was pinning them because I was trying to get over them, like, ask them if
- 37:13they're okay.
- 37:15And I was like, are you okay?
- 37:16Are you okay?
- 37:17Are you okay?
- 37:18And she was like, you need to get down.
- 37:20And then, like and when I heard them talking, I'm like, okay.
- 37:22I'm gonna get that.
- 37:26And, know, I was like yeah, because I was like, when I I'm watching it back today, actually,
- 37:31and I was like, oh my gosh.
- 37:33Like, that was really supposed to be an all down spot.
- 37:35But good.
- 37:36Yeah.
- 37:36But things like that is, like like, act like you're hurting kinda roll to where your head is
- 37:41near theirs.
- 37:42You know what I mean?
- 37:42Roll yourself like you're hurt.
- 37:44You know, like you're
- 37:44rolling over.
- 37:45Did.
- 37:46I was I was but in it wasn't supposed to roll.
- 37:49I wasn't supposed to move.
- 37:49It was all downspot.
- 37:51But, like, you know what I mean?
- 37:53If you think you hurt them, I hate to say it, fuck the rules, act hurt, and make sure they're
- 38:01okay.
- 38:02That's, yeah, that's what I did.
- 38:03I was
- 38:05And I'm proud of you for that.
- 38:06Like, not even really knowing you, I'm very proud of you for that, especially with, like,
- 38:10shortly in your career because a lot of people this time in their career wouldn't even think
- 38:14to check on their opponents after something like that.
- 38:19But even you know, like, hey.
- 38:20I slammed two people.
- 38:21They collided into each other when they hit the mat.
- 38:25I have to check on them.
- 38:27Yeah.
- 38:28And that shows that you have a very real heart and that, like, you're going to make it
- 38:34somewhere because you don't wanna hurt others, which I've noticed some people don't care if
- 38:40they hurt others in the ring.
- 38:41Oh, no.
- 38:42There's only certain parts that when I you're supposed to protect yourself.
- 38:46If you don't protect yourself, then that's on you.
- 38:50So if I'm like, hey.
- 38:51Because there's, like I'd be kicking
- 38:53I mean, I could tell you're the person you're gonna warn them if it's a dangerous spot.
- 38:58I can tell right off bat the way you're talking right now.
- 39:00You'd you would be like, hey.
- 39:02I'm about to, you know, protect this, protect that in their ear as you're about to do it.
- 39:06You know?
- 39:08It was Am I right?
- 39:09Well, no.
- 39:10I mean, like, for example, like, another spot in the matches, she was supposed to duck my
- 39:16roundhouse, and I sent him those.
- 39:19Like, I'd be I'd be like and so I was like, Bella, you need to duck.
- 39:25Are you
- 39:26I'm just going to die.
- 39:27Are you trained outside of wrestling?
- 39:30Because, like, I feel like the way you're talking, like, you're talking I extend it and
- 39:34everything.
- 39:35It sounds like you're trained outside of wrestling.
- 39:38Unfortunately, no.
- 39:39I do want to so I could be better.
- 39:42But I
- 39:44Remember, when you train outside of wrestling, you have to remember how to incorporate it into
- 39:48wrestling as well because my friend actually got fired from three promotions because he
- 39:53failed to stop his kick in time.
- 39:56Yeah.
- 39:56But I don't yeah.
- 39:57But you have to hit him safely.
- 39:59Do He couldn't slow it.
- 40:02Oh, does did he have kick pads on?
- 40:05I told him to wear kick pads.
- 40:07He refused.
- 40:08He said, I wanna wear nothing but a pair of shorts.
- 40:11I said, no.
- 40:11You are Taekwondo trained.
- 40:14That the
- 40:16Three promotions fired because
- 40:18Yeah.
- 40:18That's that sounds about right.
- 40:20No.
- 40:21That sounds about right.
- 40:22Because if you don't wanna wear kick pads and you wanna kick people, then you gotta hold that
- 40:25back.
- 40:26But if you're wearing you can if you're wearing kick pads, that's fine.
- 40:29Well, like, when you're trained, like, you can't not wear kick pads.
- 40:33Yeah.
- 40:34When you're You don't
- 40:35know how hard you're swinging your leg half the time.
- 40:39Yeah.
- 40:40No.
- 40:40When he if he's trained, he needs to wear kick pads.
- 40:43Like
- 40:44Well, he's not allowed to wrestle in South Dakota anymore.
- 40:48That's his own fault.
- 40:52That is his own fault.
- 40:54I told him that.
- 40:54He said, why didn't you warn me?
- 40:59There's my face.
- 41:00Just I warned him.
- 41:04Yeah.
- 41:05I said don't kick, technically.
- 41:07I said don't kick, like, at all if you could, but no.
- 41:13But back to your stuff because we have a lot of time here still.
- 41:18What's, like, I guess, what's your favorite match you've done?
- 41:29Well, you kinda, like, asked this question, like, three to three.
- 41:32Oh, did I?
- 41:33Oh, sorry.
- 41:33Then I guess, what's your favorite match you've watched?
- 41:38Like, it can be big leagues, independents.
- 41:41It can be anything.
- 41:42Sorry.
- 41:42I lose track of questions.
- 41:45No.
- 41:45You're fine.
- 41:46I keep moving on.
- 41:48No.
- 41:48You're fine.
- 41:50One of my favorite matches that I it's very random, but it was a, like, a old 2006 ROH
- 41:57match.
- 41:57It was Brian Danielson, Kenny Omega, and Claudio Castanoli.
- 42:05Because if I remember right, correct me or wrong, Brian Danielson, Daniel O'Brien in WWE,
- 42:11Kenny Omega, Will Osprey in AEW.
- 42:14Correct?
- 42:15I said, Claudio.
- 42:18Oh, Claudio?
- 42:19Sorry.
- 42:19Who is he's a he is an AEW, but Claudio is who I'm
- 42:22talking about.
- 42:23Claudio is.
- 42:24You're absolutely right.
- 42:25I love Claudio.
- 42:26Was he I can't remember who he was in the other promotion, sadly.
- 42:30But
- 42:30Cesaro.
- 42:32Oh, yeah.
- 42:32You're right.
- 42:33Cesaro because, gosh, the League of Nations and WWE, that was that was something.
- 42:42That's what I'm gonna call it.
- 42:44Something.
- 42:46Yes.
- 42:47Something.
- 42:49So do you watch wrestling still now that you're in it at all?
- 42:53Of course.
- 42:54That's how I get my moves.
- 42:57I I I hate to ask some people.
- 43:00They're too busy training to, like, be able to watch.
- 43:03How do you feel now that, we have the TNA taking over NXT as of Tuesday?
- 43:11Oh, that was rain I'm no.
- 43:14I'm not gonna say it was random.
- 43:15I didn't expect that.
- 43:17I'm not gonna lie.
- 43:18I thought they were trying to bury TNA a little bit, but I see what It's cool.
- 43:23It's cool, though.
- 43:25I've noticed since, like, a couple years ago, you know, they've been kinda bringing in TNA's
- 43:30talent here and there, you know, piece by piece.
- 43:33Mhmm.
- 43:33But I did not expect a fully reminiscent takeover of WWF versus WCW type of deal.
- 43:42Yeah.
- 43:43I won't lie.
- 43:46Yeah.
- 43:47But it's yeah.
- 43:51But I kinda like it because, like, that's what they they did this before, and it was really
- 43:55good.
- 43:56It was when NXT took over, like, Raw and SmackDown.
- 44:02Like, I thought that was pretty cool.
- 44:03I just Yeah.
- 44:04I was like, oh, that's pretty cool.
- 44:06And, I mean, I know I had said I know WWE wrote the spot because of one reason.
- 44:12Matt Cardona was the center of attention.
- 44:15Zack motherfucking Ryder was the center of the camera the whole time.
- 44:20Oh, yeah.
- 44:21That is WWE's work at its finest.
- 44:26Oh, yeah.
- 44:28Woo hoo.
- 44:29I want someone in commentary to go, woo hoo hoo.
- 44:34Yeah.
- 44:34Like, you see the everyone's like, he's gonna do that.
- 44:37That's
- 44:38a No.
- 44:39He won't.
- 44:40He's gonna
- 44:40pay that man enough.
- 44:42He said it in a million interviews.
- 44:44You could not pay him enough to do it again.
- 44:47Like
- 44:50Yeah.
- 44:51But, anyways, what's your goal with wrestling?
- 44:55Where do you wanna end up?
- 44:56You know, what's your big, like your, like, big end goal since you're freshly new, you're still
- 45:03very young, you have a lot to you know, you have a lot of years to build.
- 45:08Where do you wanna end up with your career at the end of the day?
- 45:12I feel like my answer is kind of the same for, like like, you know, I wanna end up in I wanna
- 45:19be signed.
- 45:21My I do want to wrestle in Japan before if I get signed, though.
- 45:27That was my goal before I even started wrestling.
- 45:29I wanted to wrestle in Japan, and I wanted to get signed to a company, which
- 45:36Have had any
- 45:37offers to wrestle in other countries at all yet?
- 45:40I'm sorry?
- 45:42Have you had any offers to wrestle in other countries yet, you know, considering, like,
- 45:46where America works around where, you know, bordered to two of the biggest wrestling
- 45:50countries in the world.
- 45:51You know?
- 45:52Yeah.
- 45:53No.
- 45:54I haven't.
- 45:54I'm hoping one day it can happen, though.
- 45:58I really hope it does too because I feel like that's like, you can get your big pop
- 46:03everywhere around the world, especially with how you do things.
- 46:07Yeah.
- 46:09So, how did you decide, like, you were gonna be who you are with wrestling?
- 46:14You know?
- 46:15Like, did it take some development, or is it just who you are normally?
- 46:19Yeah.
- 46:20It's kinda like me, but times, like, a million.
- 46:24This is me.
- 46:25Your personality and amped it up.
- 46:29I love that.
- 46:30And, I mean, like, it's a great personality.
- 46:35Yeah.
- 46:35There's also it did take me a while for certain things because I didn't I couldn't figure out
- 46:42my name for the life of me.
- 46:43I really was, like, didn't know my name.
- 46:46I was like, I don't know, guys.
- 46:47I'm just gonna
- 46:50So, I mean, you know, yes or no question.
- 46:52Is your name your real name?
- 46:54My first name is my
- 46:56real Part of it.
- 46:57Part of it.
- 46:58Alright.
- 46:58Yeah.
- 46:59Part of it is my real name.
- 47:00Yes.
- 47:02You don't know a part?
- 47:03I'm playing.
- 47:05And, I mean, you don't have to reveal any more than that about yourself.
- 47:08You know?
- 47:09We don't want you to be, like, you know, revealing too much and people know where you
- 47:13are or anything.
- 47:14Oh, yeah.
- 47:15I understand.
- 47:16Yeah.
- 47:16But where are you from, like, you know, without revealing your full name or anything?
- 47:21I'm from New Jersey.
- 47:23You're from Jersey?
- 47:25So where did you start wrestling up there?
- 47:30Because I moved.
- 47:32I stayed in Jersey, and then I moved from Jersey to Pennsylvania, and then moved from
- 47:36Pennsylvania to here.
- 47:40What was your first promotion up there?
- 47:43I didn't wrestle
- 47:43there.
- 47:45I didn't wrestle there.
- 47:47Oh, you didn't?
- 47:48Mm-mm.
- 47:50I wrestle I moved from Pennsylvania to here so I could wrestle here.
- 47:57And where is here?
- 47:59Like, state wise, you don't have to give anything other than a state?
- 48:03Oh, on Saint oh, Atlanta.
- 48:06Oh, Atlanta.
- 48:08How's that?
- 48:09Oh, it's cool.
- 48:11Yeah.
- 48:11It's very.
- 48:13I enjoy it very much.
- 48:15It's like the literally the main reason why I moved here was so I could wrestle in Georgia.
- 48:21And do you enjoy it up there?
- 48:23Like, I mean, I know Atlanta's kinda got a bit of a wrestling scene starting to boom down
- 48:28there now.
- 48:29Yeah.
- 48:29That's the yeah.
- 48:30I think that's how I got so lucky, and I'd be getting, like I feel like I'd be getting a good
- 48:34amount of bookings.
- 48:36So yeah.
- 48:39It is kinda booming.
- 48:40I feel like there's a lot of places here.
- 48:43Like, I feel like there's, like, never ending never ending promotions.
- 48:46And what are the promotions you've wrestled for there so far?
- 48:56I've done PCW.
- 48:59I've done DWI.
- 49:02I've done APW.
- 49:10I'm forget to be fair, I had some out of state.
- 49:13So, like
- 49:15Yeah.
- 49:15I mean, that's absolutely fair.
- 49:18But so far, I mean, everyone check it out.
- 49:21I mean, she's been on Alliance Pro Wrestling.
- 49:23Even check out Alexandra Quinn.
- 49:25Search any of those acronyms.
- 49:27You will not regret any match.
- 49:29I guarantee it.
- 49:31I don't wanna say that.
- 49:35I I'll say that.
- 49:36I mean, they can put it on me if they do regret watching one, but I don't think any of them
- 49:41will.
- 49:42Oh, thank you.
- 49:46So, I mean, I guess, is there, like, a specific promotion you want to sign with if you make it?
- 49:55I feel Anyone that, like, you know, literally stands out above all the others?
- 50:01I feel like the main one would be WWE just because honestly, I'm not very picky.
- 50:10Like, I'm not gonna say I'm not very picky.
- 50:13Like, I like, I'll be I think because I'm grateful.
- 50:17I know that I need to, like, have, like no.
- 50:19I want this.
- 50:20But I'll be grateful to be signed anywhere, but, like, obviously, depending on, like, what
- 50:25the contract says.
- 50:26But, like yeah.
- 50:29So, like, AW, MLW, NWA.
- 50:34Anyway
- 50:36Yeah.
- 50:37Honestly, you're the first person with, like, a WWE as the main goal I've had on here.
- 50:42Everyone else had, like, ROH or TNA or AEW.
- 50:46I'm glad to have someone that really, like, is looking at WWE these days still because it
- 50:52feels like, you know, that's not the goal for a lot of people anymore.
- 50:55I feel like is this because the Fed is like you just see the Fed, they're just like, oh, it's
- 51:01not cool.
- 51:01Like, they're trying to, like I'm not gonna say they're trying to, like, be original or
- 51:05anything, but it's more of like, yeah, I can understand because, like, oh, they're like, oh,
- 51:11the product is not that good, but that's literally still the biggest wrestling company
- 51:14on the planet.
- 51:16Yeah.
- 51:16I mean,
- 51:16that's You know?
- 51:17I I just of
- 51:20wrestling right there.
- 51:21I mean, like, they made wrestling mainstream.
- 51:24Yeah.
- 51:24Like, no matter how they made
- 51:2650% of America's independent promotions back in the day.
- 51:31Yeah.
- 51:31And don't get me wrong.
- 51:33Like, yeah, it's like but I'm not gonna say, oh, it's the weirdest nothing.
- 51:36Like, I'm okay with, like, I'll definitely go to AEW.
- 51:40I'll go lower.
- 51:40I'll go to, like you know, an ROH.
- 51:44Like, ROH is a part of AEW.
- 51:46So if I go with ROH, I'm basically a part of AEW.
- 51:50So
- 51:50And I could definitely see that happening, especially in the near future with the people
- 51:55ROH has been signing.
- 51:56You definitely kind of fit like, not even kind of.
- 51:59You 100% seem to fit their criteria for, like, talent, charisma, character, and, like, you
- 52:07know, willingness.
- 52:08You seem to check all the boxes that they want there for ROH.
- 52:14Well, yeah, let's hope.
- 52:16I'm hoping.
- 52:17Yeah.
- 52:19I'm hoping.
- 52:22So let's talk about your most recent match while I have you here.
- 52:26You know?
- 52:26How was that?
- 52:28Oh.
- 52:28I'll give the floor to you entirely for this one.
- 52:31Oh, it was the one it's a triple threat I was telling you about.
- 52:36Oh, yeah.
- 52:37That was it was good.
- 52:39It it was fun.
- 52:41It was literally just two friends.
- 52:43No.
- 52:43No.
- 52:43Three friends.
- 52:44I'm sorry.
- 52:44It was three friends.
- 52:45Really just we were just like, hey.
- 52:47Let's just do a triple threat.
- 52:49And then we were just, like, thinking of, like, the most dumb spots ever.
- 52:56Like, we did a like, she did a double stink face on both of us.
- 53:00Like
- 53:02You just you just said, let's pull out all the spots.
- 53:06Make it, you know, fun, ridiculous, entertaining.
- 53:11You

- 53:12Yeah.
- 53:12You just wanna have fun with it, it feels like.
- 53:14And I love
- 53:15Well, that's the whole thing about wrestling.
- 53:17Wrestling is all about having fun.
- 53:20And that's why, like, I love a lot of the independents and the newer people is because,
- 53:25like, we're getting back to what wrestling is supposed to be, fun.

- 53:33I I
- 53:34hate No.
- 53:34You didn't cut me off.
- 53:35You're fine.
- 53:39So, I guess, with everything, I love asking this question before I forget to ask it.
- 53:46Who's your Mount Rushmore?
- 53:50Your top four, you know, wrestlers, it can be independent.
- 53:54It can be backyard.
- 53:55It can be luchadors.
- 53:57It can be WWE, anyone at all.
- 54:00Okay.
- 54:00So it's going to be Brian Danielson, Edge, Kurt Angle, and AR Fox.
- 54:12And, you know, I know all of them except for AR Fox.
- 54:15I won't lie.
- 54:15I don't know that one right off the top of my head.
- 54:18I probably do know them, just not off of the top of my head.
- 54:22Yeah.
- 54:22That's my trainer.
- 54:25Oh, I might not, actually.
- 54:27He's on he signed the AEW, though.
- 54:30Oh, I might, actually.
- 54:31I don't know.
- 54:32I mean, I
- 54:33I'm trying to what was his most recent oh, wait.
- 54:37Let me see what was the most recent match.
- 54:41Because he was on
- 54:43signed to AEW.
- 54:45Mhmm.
- 54:46How do you feel about that?
- 54:49I was a fan of him before he was even signed.
- 54:52So I was like, it's pretty cool.
- 54:54When I met him yeah.
- 54:55When I met him, he was already signed, but he's he's just a regular dude.
- 55:00He's super chill.
- 55:01He's very sweet even though he doesn't wanna act quick he is.
- 55:10Did you freak out when
- 55:11you learned you were gonna be training with him?
- 55:13Did you freak out?
- 55:14Just a little bit.
- 55:15Just a little bit.
- 55:17I remember the first day, and it was like
- 55:19Yeah.
- 55:19I don't I don't win.
- 55:21I mean
- 55:22Yeah.
- 55:25Yeah.
- 55:26I mean, I'm not gonna lie.
- 55:27I'm still freaking out.
- 55:28I'll possibly be training with Eugene.
- 55:30But even if I don't get that, I'm freaking out because if that doesn't fail, I'm gonna try and
- 55:34train with Lynn Garrett down in Texas.
- 55:36Oh, yeah.
- 55:37That's cool.
- 55:38And I'm a go straight into the death match scene.
- 55:41Oh, Jesus.
- 55:44I mean, you you look concerned.
- 55:46I don't blame y'all.
- 55:48Oh, yeah.
- 55:48I'd be too.
- 55:51Yeah.
- 55:51No.
- 55:52Because, like, match, like, death matches can be entertaining.
- 55:55Like, they'd be kinda cool.
- 55:57And then, like but I can't I remember I I can't watch my friends do death matches.
- 56:04Like, I did it once.
- 56:05I did it on Sunday.
- 56:06I watched one of my friends do a death match, and it was, like, the worst thing I ever
- 56:11witnessed.
- 56:12It was, like, the most like,
- 56:14every time your reaction
- 56:17to
- 56:17me doing death match because we kinda become friends over the last hour.
- 56:22Oh
- 56:23my gosh.
- 56:24I
- 56:24was like yeah.
- 56:27Because he's, like, getting hit by, like, light tubes.
- 56:30No.
- 56:30He fell through a glass, like like, a glass, like, thing.
- 56:34And I was like, oh my gosh.
- 56:39I watched it.
- 56:39Like, my best friend, like, he also, like we started working together, and I saw I literally
- 56:44wanted to lay land on his leg, like, in the weirdest way possible, and I walked out the
- 56:50room.
- 56:51I, like I was like, I can't do this.
- 56:54I can't do this.
- 56:57And then I'm just like, ugh.
- 56:58Yeah.
- 56:59I mean, you don't happened to your friends.
- 57:02Right?
- 57:03Stresses me up real bad.
- 57:06Stresses me up.
- 57:09Yeah.
- 57:09I don't weigh you.
- 57:10I mean, like, deal I hate the the only thing that stresses me out about it is, like, if I do
- 57:15it, fire spots.
- 57:20I'm scared to do fire spots.
- 57:23I've I've seen I've seen yeah.
- 57:26I've seen fire yeah.
- 57:27Because, like, they'll do the fire spot and immediately freaking tuck and roll.
- 57:33And I'm like, guys, come on.
- 57:38Yeah.
- 57:39It's just
- 57:39Yeah.
- 57:40Exactly.
- 57:40But so I guess getting back to, like, you know, you getting to talk about your stuff.
- 57:50What's your favorite match stipulation to do?
- 57:54I haven't done many match stipulations.
- 57:58The only one I've done is triple threats.
- 58:00I've I've done triple threats.
- 58:02I've done scrambles scrambles, triple threats, just regular singles.
- 58:06I don't think I've done any.
- 58:07I don't think I've done any yet.
- 58:10I'll get there one day, though.
- 58:12Or what one do you want to So what's one that you want to do one day?
- 58:20I wanna get good enough at technical wrestling to do a pure rules match.
- 58:28Yeah.
- 58:28What?
- 58:29Sorry.
- 58:31Pure rules match?
- 58:34Oh, yeah.
- 58:35Yeah.
- 58:37Yeah.
- 58:38So, like, I wanna do those.
- 58:40I mean, that's funny.
- 58:41Or just regular hardcore matches or ladder I don't know if we do a ladder match.
- 58:50Those are kinda cool too.
- 58:54Oh, yeah.
- 58:55Yeah.
- 58:55I mean, ladder match is always I mean, they have the coolest spots I feel.
- 58:59And I'm just thinking about you and a ladder match.
- 59:02I can imagine what you would do to absolutely elevate, you know, the match.
- 59:09Oh, yeah.
- 59:10It's gonna be
- 59:11great.
- 59:13Absolutely would be.
- 59:21So I guess, you know, you always wanna do, like, a lighter match and things like that.
- 59:25And I noticed earlier you mentioned, like, holding him back and things like that.
- 59:30So you've been in mixed gender matches, obviously.
- 59:34How do you feel about that?
- 59:36Oh, it's basically the norm for me.
- 59:39I've used so I I was when I started, there wasn't many girls.
- 59:44It was like me and somebody else that was wrestling me and another girl that was
- 59:47wrestling.
- 59:48So all my other matches were basically just intergender matches.
- 59:52So if anything, I'm more comfortable doing intergender matches than doing regular women
- 1:00:00matches, honestly.
- 1:00:03I mean, I guess that makes sense if that's most of what you did when you were starting out and
- 1:00:08everything.
- 1:00:08You know?
- 1:00:09So have you ever wrestled outside of, like, your home state and stuff, or where have you
- 1:00:14wrestled then?
- 1:00:16I've wrestled in Tennessee, Mississippi.
- 1:00:22I feel like I'm missing something.
- 1:00:24Tennessee.
- 1:00:25I think I'm about to start wrestling in North Carolina soon.
- 1:00:30I think
- 1:00:30that's Carolina.
- 1:00:32Awesome.
- 1:00:32I actually know the commissioner of AIWF from, North Carolina down there.
- 1:00:40Well, that's cool.
- 1:00:42Yeah.
- 1:00:42Maybe we might have to talk after this, see if I can get you hooked up and get you some
- 1:00:47matches or something with them.
- 1:00:49Oh, that'd be nice.
- 1:00:53But yeah.
- 1:00:55Yeah.
- 1:00:55Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and north and it's gonna be North Carolina soon.
- 1:01:02So yeah.
- 1:01:02So have you ever wrestled in Texas, or do you know anyone who wrestles in Texas?
- 1:01:08No.
- 1:01:08I don't, yeah, I don't it's, like, ten Texas is, like, ten hours away from me.
- 1:01:13Yeah.
- 1:01:13I mean, I don't know.
- 1:01:14I mean, you're a good twelve hours away from me, and we're still having a full conversation
- 1:01:19right now.
- 1:01:20You know?
- 1:01:21So I don't know if you have if you need
- 1:01:23all the way there.
- 1:01:26You haven't I have to drive all the way there, and I'm just like, ugh.
- 1:01:29Driving.
- 1:01:31Yeah.
- 1:01:31I don't blame you.
- 1:01:32Driving kinda like ugh.
- 1:01:35Yeah.
- 1:01:36It's like, not yet, but I do plan on, like, going farther out soon.
- 1:01:41I'm just trying to get to, like, a good place before I start branching out to, like, farther
- 1:01:47states.
- 1:01:48That makes sense.
- 1:01:49That makes a lot of sense.
- 1:01:51I mean, your star is rising in your state, so soon enough, we'll hopefully see you out here
- 1:01:56in South Dakota wrestling for someone.
- 1:01:58Maybe you'll be at next year's tacos and tequila in Sioux Falls if we're really lucky.
- 1:02:03No.
- 1:02:05They have wrestling there every time.
- 1:02:09I'd love to see Alexandra Quinn there.
- 1:02:14Oh, yeah.
- 1:02:15You guys better be watching this one.
- 1:02:17Right?
- 1:02:18Heck yeah.
- 1:02:23Looking right here.
- 1:02:25Mhmm.
- 1:02:26So, you know, so I think it was.
- 1:02:30With, you know, with a lot of the way the wrestling is changing and things these days,
- 1:02:36how do you feel about a lot of commissions starting to allow cannabis into the wrestling
- 1:02:41industry?
- 1:02:44Well, that doesn't really affect me because I don't consume any of that.
- 1:02:50I know you don't, but it's still somewhat affects you as a wrestler with your opponents
- 1:02:54consuming.
- 1:02:55That's why I like to ask.
- 1:02:57I let's just say I'm used to it.
- 1:03:01You're used to them fuckers being stoned in the ring?
- 1:03:05Yes.
- 1:03:06I would ask if you should be worried if they're sober.
- 1:03:09So You'd be more worried if they were sober.
- 1:03:12That's that's a lot about the wrestling industry, guys.
- 1:03:16Just remember wrestling and music ain't that far off.
- 1:03:2080% stoners in two industries.
- 1:03:23Yeah.
- 1:03:24I was like you're like, oh, how are you?
- 1:03:26I'm like I'm like, literally, like
- 1:03:31You're like, I'm sober.
- 1:03:32I drink water every day.
- 1:03:34I drink water consistently.
- 1:03:36I'm healthy.
- 1:03:36I work out.
- 1:03:37You guys can do what you do.
- 1:03:39Don't fuck up me.
- 1:03:42Yeah.
- 1:03:43You're good.
- 1:03:44So while you don't really know anybody around there or anything, and I guess you wouldn't
- 1:03:50know about this, There's a lack of drug testing for professional wrestling in its entirety when
- 1:03:55it comes to Texas.
- 1:03:56How do you feel about that?
- 1:03:58Are you talking about for, like, indie wrestling?
- 1:04:01Anything.
- 1:04:02Yeah.
- 1:04:02Oh, yeah.
- 1:04:03All the wrestlers.
- 1:04:04It's like whatever.
- 1:04:05Drug testing.
- 1:04:06The only testing in Texas is done by the companies like AEW, TNA, ROH, WWE.
- 1:04:14If companies aren't testing their wrestlers, they are not getting tested by the athletic
- 1:04:19commission.
- 1:04:20Oh, yeah.
- 1:04:21It's like I'm not it's like that everywhere.
- 1:04:24Is it really?
- 1:04:25Yeah.
- 1:04:26I've never they've never done drug testing everywhere I've been.
- 1:04:30I did not know that.
- 1:04:32I thought it was, like, you know, starting to get more regulated like other sports.
- 1:04:36And now I'm learning from you that, you know, maybe it's not a Texas specific thing.
- 1:04:41I know Oklahoma makes you pass a bunch of stuff, though.
- 1:04:44Oh, yeah.
- 1:04:45Well, we're only one.
- 1:04:46I've every promotion I've ever been in, I never had to be drug tested, or there's never even
- 1:04:52anybody that's like, hey.
- 1:04:53Have you consumed this or this?
- 1:04:55Which, like, I'm not worried about anyway because I don't con I don't consume any of
- 1:05:00that.
- 1:05:00So
- 1:05:01Yeah.
- 1:05:01I mean, like, that's great.
- 1:05:03I'm I'm very proud of you for not consuming things, especially because, like, you know,
- 1:05:09people around our age are at the most pressure to consume things and do things.
- 1:05:16And you're showing you're a great role model showing that we don't have to, and we can do
- 1:05:20things an entirely different way in our lives.
- 1:05:23Yeah.
- 1:05:24Which is like it's whatever like, I'm not like and it's not like I'm not judgmental.
- 1:05:30You know?
- 1:05:30It's like, you can do whatever you want.
- 1:05:32Just like, just don't, you know, try to peer pressure me.
- 1:05:36Like and, also, I work with kids, so it's like, I don't wanna be taking all that while still
- 1:05:43working with kids.
- 1:05:44You know?
- 1:05:45Exactly.
- 1:05:46I mean and, like yeah.
- 1:05:47I mean, you do great work, obviously.
- 1:05:50You're working with kids.
- 1:05:51You have a great soul.
- 1:05:53And, like, that's awesome to see here because you don't see a lot of people doing great work.
- 1:06:00Like, you know, most people, they're I I mean, they do great work, but that's mostly factory
- 1:06:05jobs or construction.
- 1:06:07You're out here.
- 1:06:07You're working with kids.
- 1:06:08You know?
- 1:06:09You're showing you really do have a heart outside of just, like, who you are in the ring
- 1:06:13and who you are as a person, like, is the same person.
- 1:06:16You have a very real heart.
- 1:06:19Yeah.
- 1:06:19Oh, thank you.
- 1:06:24So I guess, I'm trying to think.
- 1:06:28Do you have any upcoming matches at all that you're excited for or anything that you're
- 1:06:33ready to do?
- 1:06:34I have one tomorrow.
- 1:06:37And would you like to tell everyone about that one?
- 1:06:41Yeah.
- 1:06:42I'm gonna be at American Premier Wrestling in Statesboro, Georgia at Fitness Mania.
- 1:06:50It's gonna be at a fitness center, and I'm doing a women's qualifier match for I I'm
- 1:06:56guessing for the women's title.
- 1:06:58I guess for because it just called me a women's qualifier match.
- 1:07:02And so I'm like, what am I qualifying for?
- 1:07:04I'm guessing it's for the title.
- 1:07:06So
- 1:07:07I really hope so because you deserve, know, you deserve the title.
- 1:07:11You've shown great skill over your career so far.
- 1:07:16Oh, thank you.
- 1:07:17I'm well, you know, I'm hoping.
- 1:07:20I'm just, you know, I'm just here to have fun.
- 1:07:23I'm free to enjoy myself.
- 1:07:25You know?
- 1:07:26Yeah.
- 1:07:26I can tell you have fun.
- 1:07:28I mean, even when you take a hard bump, like, yeah, you sell it, but you have that little
- 1:07:32smile on your face as you're selling it, you know, that sounds like, I'm right where I wanna
- 1:07:37be.
- 1:07:38It feels like I mean, it looked like you were smiling a little bit on one of those bumps I
- 1:07:44saw.
- 1:07:45Oh, that's probably just my pain face.
- 1:07:49No.
- 1:07:50I mean, yeah, maybe.
- 1:07:52Yeah.
- 1:07:53Because I'd looking like I'm smiling sometimes when I'm like, ah.
- 1:07:56But I'm actually just like yeah.
- 1:08:00I mean but either way, I mean, you're I feel like you're right where you wanna be when you
- 1:08:04take those bumps.
- 1:08:05You know?
- 1:08:06Because you talk about wrestling like a dream and like
- 1:08:09Oh my gosh.
- 1:08:10It is.
- 1:08:12It's not a lot of people's dreams anymore.
- 1:08:14Like, you know, you give me hope for the industry because of, like, you know, the fact
- 1:08:18that we're so close in age, and a lot of the people I've interviewed are, you know, 30, 40
- 1:08:23years old.
- 1:08:24And, like, you know, they're starting to, like, hit their last ten years of their career.
- 1:08:28And, like, now I have you on here, and I've had Andrew Bridge on here who are, like, you know,
- 1:08:34just starting out and just, like, you know, right around the same age of, like, the average
- 1:08:39training age for here.
- 1:08:41How do you feel, like, starting out, you know, at the normal age for wrestling, I guess, for,
- 1:08:46like, training and things?
- 1:08:48I feel I wanted to start off earlier, honestly.
- 1:08:51Like, I felt like I started late, but, like, you know, I'm grateful for where I am.
- 1:08:57So yeah.
- 1:09:00Yeah.
- 1:09:00I mean, I'm grateful that you started because watching you wrestle is a gift Mhmm.
- 1:09:08I feel like.
- 1:09:10Thank you.
- 1:09:16Oh.
- 1:09:16So
- 1:09:18did you know you wanted to wrestle when you were younger, or did it just kinda, like, you
- 1:09:22know, grow into you as you got older and you were just watching it?
- 1:09:28A little bit of both because I wanted to do combat.
- 1:09:32I wanted to do combat sports when I was a kid anyway.
- 1:09:35Like, I wanted to do karate and all that when I was a kid, and they wouldn't let me.
- 1:09:41And then I wanted to do m I wanted to do the wrestling team in high school.
- 1:09:46I couldn't do it.
- 1:09:47And then I kinda, like, let that dream go, and then it kinda came back.
- 1:09:52And when I was, like, 19, I was like, oh, you know what?
- 1:09:55I kinda do wanna do this.
- 1:09:56You know?
- 1:09:56So you kinda just said, fuck them.
- 1:09:58I'm a do what I want.
- 1:10:00This is, like, this is me.
- 1:10:02I'm Alexandra Quinn, and I'm a fucking wrestler.
- 1:10:07Unfortunately, no.
- 1:10:08I wish life went that way, but it didn't.
- 1:10:11You know, it's life.
- 1:10:12It has a lot of bumps in in the road.
- 1:10:15But, you know, I got here.
- 1:10:16I mean there.
- 1:10:19So what happened along the way there?
- 1:10:20You know, the bumps and things that, like, you know, kinda made it a struggle to be a wrestler
- 1:10:25after all that?
- 1:10:27Well, it's it was a lot going on.
- 1:10:29Like, because I had to move to a whole different state that I had to get adjusted, and
- 1:10:37then I got very sick and and and hospitalized.
- 1:10:43And then I came back.
- 1:10:44Sorry to hear that.
- 1:10:45I'm glad you're okay now, and I'm glad that you're, you know, back on your feet and smiling
- 1:10:51and makes me happy to see that.
- 1:10:53Yeah.
- 1:10:54It was, yeah, it was just a lot going on until I was like, you know what?
- 1:10:58I'm gonna start now.
- 1:11:00Gonna start right now.
- 1:11:02Now.
- 1:11:04I was like
- 1:11:04started training, how did you feel?
- 1:11:06Was it, like, heart racing, nervousness?
- 1:11:08Were you just were you ready?
- 1:11:10Or how was it?
- 1:11:14It was hard.
- 1:11:17It was hard?
- 1:11:18Yes.
- 1:11:18Because I'm not naturally talented in a lot of things.
- 1:11:23So, like, I'm not I wasn't very athletic, so it's like, it was not easy because and, also, I
- 1:11:30was, like, the only girl in, like, certain no.
- 1:11:32I wasn't like, I wasn't the only girl, but I was, like, one of few girls.
- 1:11:36And the other girl was, like, a lot more agile than me.
- 1:11:39And I'm like, dang.
- 1:11:40I can't even, like, jump that high.
- 1:11:43You don't have to jump that high.
- 1:11:44You have to kick that high.
- 1:11:45No.
- 1:11:46I mean, jumping.
- 1:11:47Things you gotta jump for.
- 1:11:49And I'm like, dang.
- 1:11:50I have to jump this high for certain things, and I'm like, oh, boy.
- 1:11:55And, like, was it hard to learn how to do all that, or did you figure it out, or did you
- 1:12:00adapt and do a different kind of wrestling from that?
- 1:12:03It was it
- 1:12:05was,
- 1:12:05like, a little bit of all.
- 1:12:06Like, I I did get more in shape, so I was able to jump.
- 1:12:13And then I did like, I realized that, oh, I don't have to do all this crazy stuff that
- 1:12:17other people are doing.
- 1:12:18I can just do stuff that I'm gonna do.
- 1:12:20And so yeah.
- 1:12:22So
- 1:12:23So, like, what's your favorite spot you've taken in a match?
- 1:12:28Every I feel like everyone has one that, like, it's that one spot.
- 1:12:32Like, you love like, you know, you you took the move, but you loved it.
- 1:12:36You know?
- 1:12:38It was when I got caught, like, like, on the ropes, and he gave me, like, the tower of the
- 1:12:47islands.
- 1:12:49Like like, really caught me and just
- 1:12:55It caught you and did the full, not even a three sixty or seven twenty.
- 1:12:59He, like, spun around with me.
- 1:13:01Like, he, like, had me, and he spun.
- 1:13:05And then yeah.
- 1:13:07So, like, I basically got ragged out.
- 1:13:10That's what I'm saying.
- 1:13:11And that was just your favorite spot to take?
- 1:13:15I was like, I'm not used to people picking me up so easily.
- 1:13:19I mean, it can't be that hard.
- 1:13:24Yeah.
- 1:13:25Sorry.
- 1:13:26I'm trying to, like you know?
- 1:13:27Yeah.
- 1:13:29Yeah.
- 1:13:30I depends who it is.
- 1:13:34So, I mean, I guess, like, what promotions have you wrestled for?
- 1:13:39I haven't asked you that one yet.
- 1:13:41What promotions have you wrestled for?
- 1:13:43You did ask.
- 1:13:43You did.
- 1:13:44Oh, I did.
- 1:13:45Sorry.
- 1:13:46My mind blanks a lot.
- 1:13:47I'm Yeah.
- 1:13:52I I haven't had an episode run this long before.
- 1:13:54I won't lie.
- 1:13:55I'm so you have a finisher move and a signature move.
- 1:14:00What are those?
- 1:14:01You know, what's your signature?
- 1:14:02What's your finisher?
- 1:14:03What are your, like, go to moves to end the match or to, like, get the crowd going?
- 1:14:09So I well, I can go from so my finisher, it's it's like a I don't even know what to call it.
- 1:14:21I call it, like, a reverse STF.
- 1:14:24I mean, it's not reverse SOS.
- 1:14:26I'm sorry.
- 1:14:26Reverse SOS.
- 1:14:27Alright.
- 1:14:27Alright.
- 1:14:28Alright.
- 1:14:29It's like a standing kitchen sink.
- 1:14:31Like, I basically just, like, grab them and then flip them over under black.
- 1:14:36Like, I don't know how to explain it.
- 1:14:38You grab them and hard slam them?
- 1:14:41Oh, yeah.
- 1:14:42Like, I kinda grab them like a report position, and then I kinda, like they, like, pop up
- 1:14:48together, and I throw them on their back.
- 1:14:51I'll give them a good hard reset real quick.
- 1:14:53Yeah.
- 1:14:54And then do, like, a a spine buster, like, Arne Anderson spine buster, like, cash.
- 1:15:02Like, I do that.
- 1:15:04Is that, like, your signature there, the spine buster?
- 1:15:07Yeah.
- 1:15:07I do I do it quite a lot.
- 1:15:10And then I do, like, a Mishinoku driver.
- 1:15:14Also, I do that a lot too.
- 1:15:19Sorry.
- 1:15:21You're saying?
- 1:15:23I was trying to think, like, yeah, I do a Mishinoku driver.
- 1:15:26What else do I do?
- 1:15:29I hit I kick people a lot.
- 1:15:32I kick people a lot.
- 1:15:34I hit people.
- 1:15:36I I
- 1:15:38You like kicking people?
- 1:15:40Yeah.
- 1:15:40It's fun.
- 1:15:42That is.
- 1:15:43I wish I had the hips to do that.
- 1:15:45Yeah.
- 1:15:45I also what's it called?
- 1:15:47I also suplex people a lot as well.
- 1:15:49Just every suplex.
- 1:15:52Regular suplex, German suplex, butterfly suplex.
- 1:15:56Any suplex you can hit on them, you're hitting it.
- 1:15:59Yeah.
- 1:15:59So,
- 1:16:05like, that's pretty yeah.
- 1:16:09Those are, yeah, those are really the main ones I do.
- 1:16:14Those are all awesome options.
- 1:16:16So I guess what would you say is, like, your biggest match or your biggest moment, you know,
- 1:16:20when you were in the ring, you know, sitting there in the squared circle?
- 1:16:24I mean, like, your biggest named opponent or your biggest moment in
- 1:16:27there.
- 1:16:29When I I have two.
- 1:16:32So I was, like, obviously, when I won my first championship, like, that what's it called?
- 1:16:40I was very happy about that.
- 1:16:43You were
- 1:16:44static, it seems like, from what I've seen.
- 1:16:47Mhmm.
- 1:16:50What's it called?
- 1:16:51I also wrestled my one of my most, I wrestled Tutti Lin at EPW, and it was kinda that was
- 1:16:59also very because, like, Tutti Lin is great.
- 1:17:03And, also, I think m APW is, like, on TV.
- 1:17:06So I was on TV, basically, and I was like, oh, I was like, I can't do this.
- 1:17:11And I was like, heel too.
- 1:17:12I hated it.
- 1:17:14I just
- 1:17:15You I mean, you don't seem like a heel.
- 1:17:19He was terrible.
- 1:17:19I was like, I can't be a heel on TV.
- 1:17:22What do y'all for me?
- 1:17:23No.
- 1:17:23You're a baby face to the max.
- 1:17:26Yeah.
- 1:17:26I get that a lot.
- 1:17:28I even I literally read a whole article that was like, Alexander Quinn's heel is, like,
- 1:17:38okay.
- 1:17:39I was like, she's more natural as a baby face.
- 1:17:42I'm like, okay.
- 1:17:43I like that.
- 1:17:44Yeah.
- 1:17:44I mean, you're more natural as Alexandra Quinn, not heel out of Alexandra Quinn.
- 1:17:49Yeah.
- 1:17:49Which is, like, which is fine.
- 1:17:53Like, it fits.
- 1:17:53I mean
- 1:17:55Yeah.
- 1:17:55You're a very happy person.
- 1:17:57I can tell.
- 1:17:58I mean
- 1:17:58Oh, yeah.
- 1:18:00I don't know.
- 1:18:01Like, I feel like heel characters aren't really the thing for someone, like, who's like, can
- 1:18:08smile all the time, make people smile like you've done just in this interview and just a
- 1:18:13conversation.
- 1:18:14You know?
- 1:18:15Yeah.
- 1:18:18So I guess, you've had a lot of matches.
- 1:18:22I'm trying to think without, like is there any moment that you would say is, like, insane out
- 1:18:29of any of your matches?
- 1:18:31Like, not even like, not just, like, your craziest bump or anything, but something that's
- 1:18:35just insane out of any of your matches?
- 1:18:40I took a double stomp from the top rope.
- 1:18:44So
- 1:18:46kind of like a coup de grace?
- 1:18:49Yeah.
- 1:18:49But it was on my back, and it was on the top rope.
- 1:18:52Yeah.
- 1:18:52That's the Davidson double stunt there.
- 1:18:55Oh, wow.
- 1:18:56How did that feel?
- 1:18:58I mean, I hit
- 1:18:59It was okay.
- 1:19:00I just I just fell off the top.
- 1:19:03I do.
- 1:19:04That was fine.
- 1:19:06You just fell right onto the top.
- 1:19:08Just let yourself give through?
- 1:19:11Just just fulfill.
- 1:19:14That's awesome.
- 1:19:18Yeah.
- 1:19:20It was yeah.
- 1:19:21It just looks crazy.
- 1:19:23Yeah.
- 1:19:24All of it seems like a lot of spots look crazy.
- 1:19:27And then when you talk to the wrestlers who have taken those spots, it's not as crazy as it
- 1:19:32looks.
- 1:19:33And, I mean, like, you having been a fan, like, how did you feel meeting wrestlers?
- 1:19:37Like, I'm guessing you obviously asked them about some of their spots.
- 1:19:41How'd you feel learning it wasn't as bad as it seemed?
- 1:19:44I
- 1:19:46don't really be asking.
- 1:19:47I try to when I meet certain wrestlers, I try to treat them like human beings.
- 1:19:54Like, you know, like, I met who have I met?
- 1:19:58I met Matt Riddle twice.
- 1:20:01I met Oh, wow.
- 1:20:02You've met MMA fighter and wrestling legend, Matt Riddle.
- 1:20:07Yeah.
- 1:20:07I've met Cedric Alexander twice.
- 1:20:10I met his wife, Big Swole.
- 1:20:12I met I met Jazz too.
- 1:20:15She was cool.
- 1:20:17I was nervous to talk to her before.
- 1:20:19I mean,
- 1:20:20you're meeting people I'm hoping to interview one day, and, I mean, that's awesome.
- 1:20:25Oh, yeah.
- 1:20:27So So have you ever met any of, like, I guess, your inspirations or your idols?
- 1:20:32And who are your inspirations?
- 1:20:33Not yet.
- 1:20:35I guess it'll be my Mount Rushmore.
- 1:20:38You know, like Kurt and
- 1:20:41Oh, wait.
- 1:20:42We already did.
- 1:20:43Yeah.
- 1:20:44Sorry.
- 1:20:46I didn't mean to cut you off.
- 1:20:47No.
- 1:20:48You're fine.
- 1:20:50But, yeah, I do wanna meet Brian Danielson at one point.
- 1:20:54That's, like, my if there's anybody I wanna meet, it's him.
- 1:20:59Yeah.
- 1:20:59I mean, I don't blame you.
- 1:21:01So, like, I know you mentioned a lot of male wrestlers.
- 1:21:03Do you have any female wrestler inspirations?
- 1:21:06You know?
- 1:21:06Oh, yeah.
- 1:21:07Oh, yeah.
- 1:21:08Do you want about any of them?
- 1:21:10I can talk all day about women.
- 1:21:14I I used to like that.
- 1:21:16What are your, like, top three inspirations from female wrestling?
- 1:21:19Because, obviously, we know you're top four from male wrestling.
- 1:21:22Right?
- 1:21:22Oh, god.
- 1:21:24That's hard to answer because I love everybody.
- 1:21:30Absolutely love it.
- 1:21:33Trish Stratus.
- 1:21:36Love it.
- 1:21:37I absolutely love Trish Stratus.
- 1:21:43Oh god.
- 1:21:46Oh, wow.
- 1:21:47It's always a tough one when you start asking the specifics.
- 1:21:50Oh god.
- 1:21:51Like, men is like, yes.
- 1:21:52Men.
- 1:21:53But, like, women is like, oh, there's so many.
- 1:21:55There's so many.
- 1:21:58Lida, the fabulous Moolah, Mae Young.
- 1:22:01I mean
- 1:22:02Yeah.
- 1:22:02Because, like, it's only four spots.
- 1:22:04That's why I'm like I was gonna give Trish obviously one of them, but, like you know?
- 1:22:09I mean, Trish is like I mean, she's the obvious one, the most prolific female wrestler in
- 1:22:14history.
- 1:22:14Like, I mean, obviously, if you're a wrestling fan, you've heard of Moolah.
- 1:22:18Even if you're not a wrestling fan, you've heard the name Trish Stratus.
- 1:22:23Yeah.
- 1:22:27I would say okay.
- 1:22:28So I would say, like, Asuka slash Cana.
- 1:22:31Oh my god.
- 1:22:32I love Asuka.
- 1:22:38This is hard.
- 1:22:39I'm I'm like, how do I do this?
- 1:22:42Like, how do you name them when, you know, like, you know, either way, you
- 1:22:46have more spots left.
- 1:22:48You have two spots left, and you have to eliminate some.
- 1:22:52Good gosh.
- 1:22:53Trish, Asta.
- 1:22:56I would say Lita.
- 1:22:59I mean, honestly
- 1:23:01wanna say Lita?
- 1:23:02Easily.
- 1:23:03Like, she was amazing.
- 1:23:04Her like, I mean, the things she did and, like, the fact that, like, the only ones that really
- 1:23:10were out there facing men on a consistent basis were Lida and China.
- 1:23:15Mhmm.
- 1:23:15So two of a kind.
- 1:23:17You know?
- 1:23:18Yeah.
- 1:23:19Okay.
- 1:23:21Last one.
- 1:23:23I wanna choose someone more recent.
- 1:23:34Oscar's kinda recent, so I don't know.
- 1:23:37I don't know.
- 1:23:38I don't know.
- 1:23:39I don't know who to give it to.
- 1:23:42Probably wants to give it to Victoria.
- 1:23:46Not not even close to a bad choice there.
- 1:23:48Great choice.
- 1:23:49You know?
- 1:23:50For AJ Lee because she was also a really big inspiration.
- 1:23:53It was her and Gage were, like, big inspirations for me.
- 1:23:57How do you feel like, you know, speaking to AJ Lee, we can go off topic if you want to hear,
- 1:24:02like, with her return and stuff.
- 1:24:05Oh, yeah.
- 1:24:06I was very happy.
- 1:24:07I've been I've been waiting for ten years.
- 1:24:09I've been waiting for ten years.
- 1:24:11I've always seen all, like, where all those fans thought she was gonna come back over the
- 1:24:17decade and she didn't.
- 1:24:18And then all of a sudden, the moment that Centimeters Punk grabbed that sign that had her
- 1:24:25name on it, everybody knew.
- 1:24:28The world went silent for wrestling for a second because we all knew what the fuck was
- 1:24:33about to happen right there.
- 1:24:35And I excuse my language if you, don't like saltier language.
- 1:24:39I've realized I've cussed a lot.
- 1:24:40I'm I'm a wrestler.
- 1:24:42It's fine.
- 1:24:43I hear that language all the time.
- 1:24:45I I talk like that too.
- 1:24:46I just I tried to be more professional when I'm on podcast.
- 1:24:51Oh, no.
- 1:24:51Here, you're perfectly fine.
- 1:24:53I mean, to me, I like to think of this podcast as, like, two friends having a conversation
- 1:24:57almost.
- 1:24:58You know?
- 1:24:58Oh, yeah.
- 1:24:59I understand.
- 1:25:01And I feel like that's how I've run it a lot, especially tonight.
- 1:25:06Oh, yeah.
- 1:25:10So, you know, obviously, now we know you're two Mount Rushmore's because, I mean, we had to
- 1:25:16give it two.
- 1:25:17Right?
- 1:25:18Mhmm.
- 1:25:19Do you have a top promotion you like watching?
- 1:25:25No.
- 1:25:26I watch everything.
- 1:25:28You watch everything?
- 1:25:29You watch it all?
- 1:25:30Yeah.
- 1:25:31Well, that's how, like, I'm a wrestler, so I just consume all wrestling.
- 1:25:34I just consume all of it.
- 1:25:36I love that.
- 1:25:39Yeah.
- 1:25:41I'm watching random British indie all women's promotions, like like, just just because just
- 1:25:51because.
- 1:25:52Just because you can?
- 1:25:53Maybe I yeah.
- 1:25:54Because, like, I'll probably learn something from it.
- 1:25:56Exactly.
- 1:25:58I mean, like, I don't know if you have much more to learn with the talent that you already
- 1:26:03have in such a short time, but, you know, you might find something to learn.
- 1:26:07I have a lot to learn.
- 1:26:10You see, I'm not signed yet, so that means I still have a lot to learn until I get like, I
- 1:26:17haven't made it yet.
- 1:26:18That means there's something I'm missing.
- 1:26:21So You have a lot to learn then with an insane amount of talent and, obviously, a great
- 1:26:26ability to learn from, like, what I've seen in matches.
- 1:26:30If you have a lot to learn, it shouldn't take you very long.
- 1:26:36Yeah.
- 1:26:36Hopefully.
- 1:26:39I guess I'm out of questions.
- 1:26:42Is there anything you wanna tell everyone before we go?
- 1:26:49Not really.
- 1:26:50You know?
- 1:26:51You can follow my socials.
- 1:26:53You know?
- 1:26:54You wanna give out your tags for those quick then?
- 1:26:58Yeah.
- 1:26:59I can.
- 1:27:03My what's it called?
- 1:27:05My Instagram is underscore alexandra underscore quinn, two underscores after that.
- 1:27:11I need to change that because that's so difficult to remember.
- 1:27:15My YouTube channel is alexandra quinn.
- 1:27:17That's where you can watch my matches.
- 1:27:20I highly recommend checking out those matches.
- 1:27:23You guys will not regret it.
- 1:27:26Yeah.
- 1:27:32That's pretty much it.
- 1:27:35Now if you go on my Instagram, that's usually where I update, like, literally everything I
- 1:27:39do.
- 1:27:40So I don't have a Twitter yet because I stay off Twitter.
- 1:27:45Yeah.
- 1:27:45I mean, I don't blame you there.
- 1:27:46Twitter seems to be like a political battleground, and I don't like to talk about
- 1:27:51politics, so I'll leave the comment at that.
- 1:27:53Yeah.
- 1:27:55But, you know, it was great having you on here tonight, and I absolutely enjoyed it.
