1:07
episodes. I called it like season 2 but I
1:09

I don't want to take all the credit, but I like, I was your
4:20

4:22

4:25
You were like, hey, you guys want to do this?
4:27
And I was like, you want to use us like, yeah.
4:30
The old tornado tag, which we, it is coming back tonight.
4:33
You see, I used to have variance of different independent
4:37
wrestlers. If they were letting me use
4:38
their likeness, I would pay an artist to do cartoons of them
4:42
and then I would use that as a logo and then send them the
4:45
logos if they want to use it or not.
4:47
But you were you were on their Ram was on there.
4:50
I think main event was on their JC storm was on there.
4:54

4:59
you guys letting You do that and I did we were just like, I don't
5:02

5:07
That you guys all came from and everybody was super nice and
5:10
respectful and everything. And I felt like we all just
5:12
connected really well and I just I bummed that were your you you
5:16

5:20
well and we don't see each other anymore.
5:21
So this is like the first time we've gotten a talk in a long
5:23
time but I definitely miss our moments and seeing you in rem
5:27
and everybody else that shows but I'm sure you know, what will
5:30
Cross paths again, someday in person.
5:32

It's just I kind of like have like a home base now and yeah,
5:40
well that's why I meant by like you.
5:41
You've kind of your, you kind of establish yourself more in the
5:45
New York scene and and ppw is a travel for you.
5:49
And let's just let's just call it what it is.
5:52
You're the shit now in your area, you know, I mean you're a
5:54
hot commodity you're killing up in New York.
5:56
I mean, you can keep going if you want You're rocking
6:01
Championship gold, and I mean, you're you're doing big things.
6:04
I'm super, super proud of you. But let's, let's rewind real
6:07
quick and let's get into how you fell in love with this crazy
6:12
industry. We call professional wrestling.
6:14
What's your earliest memory of becoming a wrestling fan?
6:18
So my origin story for wrestling is not the usual one.
6:22
I love. I love hearing like about other
6:25
wrestlers. Talk about, you know, they were
6:27
like three, there were five. They watch the with our
6:29
neighbor, their uncle. Dad.
6:31
And it was like this thing that they're look forward to to
6:33
watching every single night, twice a night or however long.
6:36
They some people weren't allowed to watch it so you to watch it
6:38
secretly. I wish I was like that but I
6:41
wasn't. I actually watched it a little
6:44
bit when I was older and then like I feel like maybe like it
6:48
was like 22 and I I just casually glanced over the TV
6:54
because it's like they were they were playing it like a friend I
6:57
was at a friend's house and they played it and I was kind of like
7:00
I was like, questioning myself cause I was like I haven't heard
7:02
about pro wrestling and so long, like, since it was like, cool in
7:06
school, right? So, like, it was like a phase
7:08
where everybody was doing the rock chance and everyone was
7:11
like, what what? And you know what I mean?
7:13
Like, even if you weren't into wrestling, it was like in your
7:16
face and it was like, it was every pop culture.
7:19
He was I was everyone was was doing, was watching it, but then
7:22
it kind of like died out and I didn't hear about it for like a
7:26
very long time till much later and I was just like, people are
7:29
still watching. This is still like a thing.
7:32
So then I was so like at this time they were doing like the
7:36
Divas division would like the belt, the butterfly belt, or
7:40
whatever. And I just saw, like I believe I
7:44
know I hate people are going to judge me when they hear this,
7:47
but I believe it was the, the Bella twins.
7:50
They were in the ring and I saw them do like an up and over,
7:53
like a tip up and they were pretty athletic, and I was
7:56
surprised. I was like, wait, I feel like I
7:58
can do this. So then I just looked it up on
8:01
the internet and went to a wrestling school.
8:03
I love that. It's so insane.
8:05
How people like, obviously there's age gaps between
8:09
everybody and everyone has that spot where it's like, this is my
8:11
moment, like I'm a little older. So like my earliest memory is
8:15
going back to like, before raw was even a thing.
8:18
I'm like, Saturday mornings. And then, I mean, and watching
8:21
old stuff like that, like, Hogan and Macho, Man.
8:23
And and then some people are like CM Punk.
8:25
The pipe bomb, got me, you know, everyone has a thing, but it's
8:28
crazy to hear like the Like a generation that says, like, oh,
8:32
a video game. Got me into, like, I was at a
8:34
friend's house and we were playing a video game and I was
8:36
like, what is this? And like all you can watch this
8:38
on TV and then it's like, that's how I actually say that.
8:40
Like, like, when you, you start training, they're like, oh, you
8:43
don't know. Moves Play that video game.
8:45
They have like, every move ever. You just, it doesn't matter.
8:49
And they Court like categorize it like, by strikes by this by
8:52
that. So you kind of want to wear a
8:53
tax. Yeah, the arm.
8:55
Yeah, your corner spots. Like, it's crazy now.
8:59
Were you Always athletic. Were you always into sports and
9:02
stuff like that. Like, so when you seen like the
9:04
athleticism, that was at something that like you were
9:06
transitioning for? Um, no, I it was this just
9:11
random thing that I just saw on TV and I kind of just picked it.
9:15
And I never really did any sports in high school.
9:18
My high school was actually like, it was like its first
9:21
year, so they and it was like in the city, right?
9:24
And it was considered a business school, but like that was the
9:27
year, like the Happened. It was just a lot that went on.
9:32
So it was basically like a bullshit, High School, right?
9:35
Yeah. So no, we didn't even have
9:38
teams. I didn't do anything.
9:40
I didn't, I didn't do any sports.
9:41
I didn't have no thought of background.
9:43
This literally was like the first thing I've ever tried ever
9:45
in my life that was like, I was just like, yeah, I'm going to do
9:48
it. That's it.
9:49
That's awesome. So what were your hobbies like
9:51
did you you know theater acting movies?
9:54
I know you're pretty pop culture inspired.
9:56
Yeah. So this is this is like before
10:00
Everything was super cool to do, but like who was an amazing?
10:04
Yeah, if we met Cosmic in high school, who were you in high
10:07
school? All right.
10:08
In high school. I was like, I still have like
10:11
colorful hair. I always did, but I just like,
10:15
watched anime. I played video games.
10:18
I was just like kind of there. I don't know.
10:20
I don't know who I mean. I was like myself, but I was
10:24
more like a internet person if you will.
10:27
Yeah, so I didn't really play. Sports.
10:30
I wish I did. Yeah.
10:32
Well, it's insane to see that now because like, you are
10:35
athletic and you're in the gym. And yeah, they're like, you
10:37
never done any of this stuff. I don't know.
10:39
You never done this stuff. I was like, no.
10:41
Yeah, I thought for sure you were what?
10:43
I almost wish that. I feel like it's my high school.
10:48
If I blame my high school, if I went to an actual high school
10:51
with teams and stuff I believe I blame the New York public system
10:54
school system, you know, it's crazy to like a lot of body
10:59
types. Like, I'm trying to think, like,
11:01
for women and men. You look at like their body
11:03
types. You're like, okay, they played
11:04
football before spoiled before this, are they played by other
11:07
your basketball because they're leaner, and they're like this.
11:09
So, like nine times out of ten, you have you have very powerful
11:12
legs if you have thighs, you know, me, like so I was like,
11:15
I'll guarantee softball or something like that and nothing
11:18
them up. I actually love when people
11:20
compliment my my legs, especially like my quads because
11:25
I had to work them up. There was a time I was so skinny
11:27
like I so it was like a plan, right?
11:31
So like I saw this on TV and it was just like an idea that came
11:35
into my head. So I was like, I should be,
11:38
like, gearing up to like, two pro wrestling, right?
11:41
So I was like, let me let me fucking join a gym.
11:44
I'm going to join a gym for, like, I have a gym membership,
11:47
but, like, all I did was like cardio.
11:49
I didn't really do any strength training or anything like that,
11:53
and you really didn't see women at the time doing strength
11:55
training. That was as like a rare thing,
11:57
not rare, but it's just It wasn't like mainstream how it is
12:00
now. So like I used to just do like
12:04
cardio stuff. So then when I decided I was
12:08
going to do pro wrestling, they, you know, they give you like
12:11
those little I think, like, if you sign up for a gym, they give
12:15
you like every five months, or every six months or something.
12:17
You do like something with a personal trainer for like 30
12:19
minutes or whatever. So like I'm talking to the
12:22
personal trainer I'm like, yeah, I want to get strong and he was
12:26
like okay let's see what you could do.
12:27
He was like, all right, give me. Give me.
12:28
Me ten push-ups. I couldn't even do too.
12:32
I was so freaking skinny. I was so damn skinny.
12:35
That my arms are like shaking. I was like, oh shit I've been
12:38
fucking trouble. Well that just goes to your
12:41
perseverance and your and your determination and your and your
12:43
passion to do this. Like you transformed yourself.
12:46
Like you have a great look and I mean, you're actually did that
12:49
let us assume came from nowhere socially, having no background
12:51
and you put on muscle mass and like I'm proud of you, you know?
12:55
I mean, like even just the short time I've met you from ppw to
12:58
watch Sing what you do. Now, you're completely different
13:01
in the ring. Well, thanks, so yeah.
13:07
So you transition from fan to wrestler you, you did the
13:10
wrestling you started in some schools and then where you ended
13:13
up now. So currently let's talk about,
13:15
you know, where your training and and some of the people
13:17
who've helped you along the way. Yeah.
13:20
So I'm currently trending fall out and that's located in
13:24
Brooklyn and it's part of the battle Club branch and I really
13:30
can't say enough about this. Cool.
13:33
I mean it's also like to each their own, right?
13:36
Some people can rustle and they don't need to go to training
13:39
school or whatever their system is, they all have everyone has
13:43
their own thing that works for them.
13:45
But I always felt like for me I needed to be constantly doing
13:48
something like the grind, if that that makes sense, you know
13:52
what I mean? Like, I can't be one of those
13:54
people that's like, I haven't done nothing in two months.
13:56
Get in there. Fucking kill it.
13:57
That's not me. I have to like be on top of my
14:00
shit all the time. I You know what I mean?
14:02
Like which is why I really really appreciate my Kurt my
14:05
coaches there's currently Well, there's four of coaches and then
14:10
we have some Co coaches now. So there's like a little bit
14:13
more but they are always on top of me.
14:17
They call me out for my shit. Like anything.
14:19
I do they're like why you did this?
14:21
Why did this? What do this better do?
14:22
This better? Do you know?
14:24
There's like they nitpick at everything you do and I guess
14:27
some people don't appreciate that but I do I like it because
14:31
it's the next time I'm doing something.
14:33
I'm aware of what I'm supposed to be doing.
14:36
Yeah, right. And you're not the only one,
14:39
I've seen other people go through there.
14:41
And then, like, just a couple months later, see them where
14:44
they were and then where they are now.
14:45
So, whatever the coaching staff is doing there, I'm not sure who
14:48
they all are. If you want to tell us you can.
14:50
But like yeah, kudos to them fall out.
14:52
You guys are putting together, good stuff.
14:54
Actually. There was somebody who very
14:56
early on. We had a conversation and she
15:00
was in a really rough spot like she had a match.
15:03
We're at a show and she like I just looked at her and I was
15:06
like she's not having a good time right now.
15:08
Like like like it literally looked like she was in that spot
15:10
where she's like she might go to her car and just never do this
15:13
again, that that's what she looked like when I kind of
15:17
pulled her side as a, hey, I'm not trying to be weird or
15:18
anything like that but like you need to talk and she's like,
15:21
yeah. And then we, we became friends,
15:25
you know? And and I was like, listen, you
15:27
should probably like where you're from and she told me, I
15:29
was like, you should look at this place and I sent her like
15:31
that area. I'm like, I think they have good
15:32
teams of and she end up going there.
15:35
Who, who is it? I don't know.
15:39
I think I think it is. I think I think I know who it
15:44
is. But do you think it is?
15:46
I'm not gonna say her name just in case, but we love her a lot.
15:50
Yeah. It all Chief little, my struggle
15:52
for a while. With her gear.
15:54
She struggle with her character. Yeah, my porter side and I was
15:56
like, I was like, you are athletic.
15:59
You have a great look, just entering, your entering, wasn't
16:03
up to par. And I was like, Honestly my
16:05
pitch for your character is just be like yo I'm pretty I don't
16:09
have to be good at this. I can like you don't I mean
16:12
because then like you're gonna get hated as a heel and then
16:15
you're gonna develop as a wrestler.
16:18
But you're going to work on the character first and I think
16:20
like, if you have a strong character and start that and
16:24
then bring the tablet in, ring up with it, you're going to be
16:26
fine and I think that gave her a lot of college.
16:28
She used to send me footage of her ever matches and everything
16:30
like that, and I was just like sighs, like to work the crowd
16:34
more like, yeah. Deal the first time she came
16:36
out, she didn't have to be healed.
16:38
So she just walked out and flipped off the crowd and like,
16:41
just walked her on the ring. Flip it over.
16:44
Hey, there's a speed that it was amazing.
16:47
It was amazing and I was like good.
16:49
He'll work was like, fuck. You take out a knife and fucking
16:56
stabbed everyone like but she's such an absolute sweetie.
17:00
She actually just posted something like a couple months
17:02
ago, where she got geared. I was like, look at the gears.
17:04
He's like, I got gear like, she's like so.
17:07
I was like, I thought that was a good fit for her as well.
17:10
And you can see, she's evolving and getting better and we got
17:14
Our Nikki Duke. We do.
17:15
Thank you doing there. Yeah, love her to death but yeah
17:22
she actually hit it, hit me up but then she hit me up later on.
17:29
And she was like, hey what school do you go to and stuff?
17:32
So I told her about and I kept trying to tell her like just
17:35
come just come, it's cool, whatever.
17:36
And she came like a few times but now she's like, totally on
17:40
board. She's had some bad experiences
17:41
where she was in schools and girls work.
17:44
Mean girl in her ear and I mean and and treating her like shit
17:47
and she's passionate and she loves the business and she wants
17:50
to do it but it just seemed like she either went to a place and
17:53
this is no disrespect to any other school that she went to.
17:55
But like it seemed like she went to a school and either she got
17:58
mean girl door. She went to a school and she was
18:00
pretty and nobody would tell her when she was being when she
18:02
sucked and they were just like you're fine, you're fine, you
18:04
got this your main like they were just gaslighting her
18:07
instead of like they were taking her money to say.
18:10
Hey you train here and they weren't helping her get better.
18:12
They weren't giving her those hard conversations.
18:14
Relations and I'm really, really happy.
18:16
She found her home and she found her people and her tribe and
18:19
she's getting better because she she's a, she's a really sweet
18:22
heart, like she's asleep. I do have to say this, I've
18:25
actually seen this not and I'm not saying like with her, I'm
18:28
saying people who kind of like, I don't know if you like they
18:32
get like a ticket or a pass to treat each other like shit or
18:36
treat another person like shit because you might have had a
18:38
better night than them. I I never understood that like
18:42
at the end, we're all performers.
18:44
MERS and we all have one thing in common, which is we all share
18:48
the same dream regardless of levels and who started when and
18:52
where you train from, like we all share in the same dream,
18:55
which I think it's so beautiful. We all have the dream to become
18:59
this like great wrestlers, poor rustlers performer.
19:03
So I just never understood like, You know, coming in there and
19:08
being like, haha, you can't do this, right?
19:12
Like the help the person. Yeah, it doesn't.
19:15
Yeah, and also, it doesn't really make you a better person.
19:17
I don't. Yeah, I don't know.
19:20
I'm just like, I just to me, it doesn't add anything to that.
19:24
Yeah, yeah, it's not. It's yeah, it's super toxic and
19:28
it's definitely not needed. But so the, the character the,
19:33
the Persona, the person we know as Cosmic, how did that, how did
19:36
the name? How did the character where'd
19:39
it? Come from, what he inspired by.
19:42
Okay? So if you guys don't know
19:44
already, I am completely obsessed with Sailor Moon.
19:48
I've been obsessed with sale. Our moon since I was 5.
19:50
So that you see how people have their own wrestling stories of?
19:53
Like I saw this when I was five Sailor, Moon was my thing like,
19:58
I was this obsessed. Little girl.
20:00
Like, my parents are originally Dominican, right?
20:03
So are they Dominican? So they speak Spanish as their
20:06
first language? So at home, I spoke Spanish
20:09
until I went to kindergarten. My mom says that it was just
20:14
like, one day. I didn't talk about Sailor Moon.
20:17
And then the next day I did and I never I never shut up and she
20:21
had no idea what the hell I was talking about because she only
20:23
spoke Spanish so she didn't know anything.
20:26
All she can say was Sailor Moon and then question mark, like no,
20:29
she had no idea. So she didn't know where to get
20:31
me toys for it. She didn't know nothing, you
20:33
know, understand. So it's like this Dominicans
20:37
households, Spanish speaking primarily and just thrown
20:41
Japanese anime, learning English at the same time as going to
20:48
school, right? At kindergarten that's where I'm
20:50
introduced to English. And then also just throwing in
20:53
Japanese anime just like for the fucking hell of it.
20:56
Yeah. You just culturally, you're
20:58
just, you're a Melting Pot. Usually, I'll take it all in.
21:01
Yeah. I if I'm not missing so I
21:05
apologize. I am not an anime fan, I'm not.
21:07
I tried it, just I for something for some reason.
21:11
I just can't attach myself to it.
21:12
I think the closest I ever got when I was a kid.
21:15
I watched a lot of Speed Racer. I really like Speed Racer.
21:19
Yeah, I'm on Doc's, but that's like Americanized anime.
21:23
It's very inspired, but it's Americanized.
21:25
Yeah, but I have, I struggle with anime like, I tried.
21:30
I've watched so many and it's like, try this one, try that
21:32
one. I've tried, I'm a pop culture,
21:33
kid. I gave it a shot.
21:34
It just like they're always crime.
21:37
I'm sad and depressed all the time myself, and they're just
21:39
always crying every episodes like a mental breakdown.
21:42
I like, I can't handle this. I love it.
21:46
I love it. I live.
21:47
Once you start hearing like the soft violin, Lenore yeah yeah.
21:50
Hey lighten up the temples are slowing down and there's some
21:53
fucking like petals of flowers in the, in the background here.
21:56
Drop you already know I'm already there, like, what's
21:58
going on? Who's gonna, who's gonna open
22:01
up? What background?
22:02
Am I gonna be open to like, was it why is this person like the
22:04
show? Me and first, Adam, and I think
22:08
I seen was Sailor Moon. I believe that was like the
22:10
first one because like this girl I was friends with growing up.
22:14
She was she loved Final Fantasy. That was her shit and then she
22:17
loved Sailor Moon. And I was like, what is this?
22:19
Like the art is cool. Like the idea of these female
22:22
care, like I grew up with a superhero pro wrestling,
22:26
male-dominated, everything. And then I see these characters
22:29
that are like female Care Bears. They all have their color and
22:32
their logo and their whole nine. I was like that's kind of dope
22:35
that you have something that represents you and I didn't like
22:38
our like, your culture are like yeah.
22:40
I mean like female empowerment and I even as a kid I was like
22:42
that's kind of a dope idea for a show and then like looking back
22:45
like that's been around for a long time.
22:50
So, Sailor Moon is not just an anime, but it's a particular
22:53
kind of genre for anime and it's actually like the I guess you
22:59
would say like, the trademark for what's called magical girl
23:02
anime. So it's like, you say, magical
23:05
girl, right away, you think Sailor Moon?
23:07
Because that's the most widely known pop culture in anywhere,
23:11
for magical, girl, anime. But it's, it's actually a John
23:15
ra. And there's a bunch of different
23:17
ones where it's Basically, you have a girl who participates in
23:22
Magic, right? And they have to go through a
23:24
transformation and such. So yeah, that's it's it's not
23:29
just Anime like I enjoy anime but I love ya.
23:34
I love ya so hard Kappa girl. Yeah, yeah sakurako so I love.
23:40
I love magical girl anime like Still Still I still like
23:44
anytime. Any new magical girl anime comes
23:47
out. I'm like, I'll Love it.
23:49
I'm going crazy. I don't care that the audience
23:51
is supposed to be 11 years old. I love it.
23:54
That is for me. Whatever keeps you whatever?
23:56
Keep wrestling? He's been young at hard like
23:58
part of me sometimes. Even a wrestling, you know.
24:00
People go. I can't stand when wrestling's
24:02
PG. I don't like I like what it's
24:04
more adult-themed and that's fine.
24:06
And I had some listen, I like going to my G CW's in here in
24:09
wrestler, say fuck, and get crazy and bloody.
24:11
But then I also like, I look at it and I go man, if that was as
24:15
thrown in my face, is it was back in the day, like you do
24:17
need some kid. Enos and they're like you like
24:19
even though I hate I don't like him as a person but Hogan was
24:23
important. Back in the day, John Cena is
24:25
important like baby. Like those baby face characters,
24:28
those like they're important for wrestling.
24:30
I know they're corny and they're tough for like the older fan to
24:33
adapt to and be like I support that person but like you look at
24:37
a kid in the crowd and you're like, oh this is why it's still
24:40
PG-13. This is why there's still that
24:42
kid element to this industry because it's not always made for
24:45
just one like we've evolved but Rustling has to evolve with us
24:49
but also stay true to the younger generation can enjoy it
24:53
too. And, and, and like you said,
24:55
like, just kind of your anime or video games or anything like
24:58
that. It's fun to kind of like, keep
25:00
that kid inside you alive. I think.
25:03
Also like it's, it's it's so many people out there and
25:07
different tastes. I remember when I was first
25:10
watching, Cody Rhodes had like, broken his nose.
25:14
He was wearing like the, the weird Mass thing and he was
25:17
acting like he was He's so ugly like he couldn't be seen like
25:20
nobody look at me. Like it was so dramatic that he
25:23
was so ugly. And I just, I used to laugh and
25:25
I used to be like, I can't believe adult sit and watch
25:28
this. And it's like a novella like,
25:32
like, like a, like a real Novella with people, like, with
25:35
men wearing little shorts and like attacking each other.
25:38
Yep. So I thought it was just so
25:39
bizarre because I was like, it was kind of like this thing
25:42
where I was just like how is this still going?
25:45
Like it. You know what I'm saying?
25:46
Like, how make it. I called half naked.
25:48
So Operas yeah yeah, it really was watching like coded heroes
25:52
are so ugly and and I think he was feeling at the time with
25:55
Dolph Ziggler. I can't really remember but it
25:58
was just like so dramatic and everyone was like partaking it
26:03
and he had like the thing where he covered up like half his face
26:06
but he took it off and everybody was just like he's so ugly.
26:09
He just a regular dude. A black guy?
26:14
Yeah, it's amazing. So so the anime spired the Or
26:18
where did the name like Cosmic? Like is that derive from
26:21
something? Yeah.
26:22
So I was really obsessed with Sailor Moon and then as a child
26:27
of the internet, I would, you know, you have to make your own
26:30
usernames and stuff like that. I always chose Cosmic sailor,
26:35
moons, transformation brooch, she has like a little, like a
26:39
little incantation. She says before she transforms
26:41
and one of the words was Cosmic. So I always thought, I don't
26:45
know. I just felt like that was, that
26:47
was me. That was my My My Chosen word.
26:50
I love it. I love it so much.
26:53
No we're your kind of coming from now.
26:56
I know we can kind of go back to you like you're training a
26:57
little bit here and where you're at but like who do you watch
27:00
currently are like go back and watch tape of that you that
27:03
inspire you to like a style of wrestler or someone you you pull
27:08
from to be like this is what I'm trying to Mimic or not mimic,
27:12
but pull from to add to my Arsenal.
27:15
Okay, so first I would say my coaches so I do want to name
27:20
them. Obviously, you guys know, Marcia
27:22
slam of itch, the first ever female ECW world champion she
27:29
was also Sports Illustrated. Number one, woman wrestler so
27:34
low Crescent. She was she was the top 10 top
27:37
10, number one, top 10. To be honest.
27:42
It was literally WWE. Aw, I think one Japanese stardom
27:48
name and then Masha. Masha was the only like
27:51
independent person on that list. So the fact that she's being
27:55
wrecked, I've been telling people for the past four years,
27:58
get on the Masha, train your town, you get on the Mike.
28:02
I've been a fag. I seen her at Camp LeapFrog and
28:05
I was like she's the truth. Like she's so good.
28:09
Like the he'll work the helm. Yeah.
28:11
She's psychotic when you really want to meet someone who's about
28:17
it, she's about it. Yeah you know what I mean?
28:19
Like but and then we also have a steep Pena and then we have Mike
28:26
law or colossal, Michael also I can't leave that out.
28:29
He gets really mad about it, you know.
28:33
And then we have Jorge Santi and then we also have the coaches
28:38
which is like a med. Yeah, man, I love that movie.
28:44
Everyone everyone who watches him is always like I love
28:48
watching him because it's always like, I feel like I should have
28:51
like, a, like a cheat sheet, like every time he does
28:53
something like, oh yeah, you know what I mean?
28:55
Like, I'm trying to record it in my head because I'm like, how do
28:57
you, how do you transition? So flawlessly into these random
29:00
things? That his name has come up on
29:03
this podcast? Yeah, a lot.
29:05
He's my favorite person to commentary for because he's it's
29:08
always a different match. Every single match is different
29:10
from him. Um, he's so insanely humble
29:14
behind that character, and when you see him on stage with the
29:17
same person, but he, he is someone who I honestly feel like
29:23
he should be on TV within the next year or two, he's so
29:27
goddamn mountain. Yeah, so he's a the Egyptian
29:31
toward a torture. The to Egyptian torture expert.
29:34
Yeah. Expert he's slowly.
29:37
I think last podcast I was wearing his T-shirt.
29:39
Oh yeah. Actually, I saw he did like a
29:42
show in sanctuary. Yes.
29:45
Thank you area. Is the new Sanctuary world
29:46
champion to call that and then we have a Kira who was with a
29:56
cold going on with Masha. And then we have Steve the ref
30:01
who's with wall. Yeah.
30:05
Those are my coaches and I literally watch all their stuff
30:08
like all the time. Like I don't know there's
30:12
different things you watch for, right?
30:14
So like I watch also manami Toyota.
30:19
So she's someone I love watching because I just think that she's
30:23
so like, I don't know. It's just like watching a
30:26
pinball like move around, you know what I mean?
30:29
Like, she's so, I love watching her wrestle.
30:33
Everything enjoy stardom would be a great thing for you to
30:35
watch because it's very the Japanese culture inspired.
30:38
And then like the wrestling side of.
30:39
Yeah, I saw that they have is a live-action Sailor Moon it
30:42
something. Yeah.
30:45
Oh, it's so cute. I was like, I love their boat.
30:49
Yeah. So I watched like, all their
30:52
stuff for. Like, I'm trying to think like,
30:55
mostly, like I watched people for their moves, right?
31:00
Like I'm trying to like like recently, I was like, I really
31:03
want to get really good at doing arm drags.
31:05
I'm just like watching Ricky Steamboat over and over, they
31:07
have like a compilation on YouTube that you can just watch
31:11
him do it over and over and over and I'm still thinking in my
31:14
head like you know, I mean like how am I supposed to do this
31:17
like yeah it's crazy. Now one of the things I talk to
31:23
a lot with with independent Talent is when they say like you
31:27
have that moment or a match, are you get to put you get book to
31:30
against somebody or you kind of have that opportunity to sit
31:32
backstage with somebody and that match like it clicks for you you
31:36
have that moment where you're like oh like so that that piece
31:39
fell into the puzzle like this person was able to like show you
31:43
backstage and then in the ring kind of get you to that level
31:46
and then from then on you're just like I'm on a different
31:48
I've evolved you know I mean I've hit that next stage have
31:51
you had that match yet and if so who was the opponent Have I had
31:56
that much next haven't had that much yet.
31:58
Um there's a match for me as a fan watching you that I felt
32:02
like you had a little bit of that moment.
32:05
I want to say with Marsha when we were talking about the match
32:11
her way of like, going about, it was different than from what
32:15
I've heard. Other people go about it.
32:18
Like you, you hear people call the match and they kind of
32:22
called the match the same way, right?
32:24
She doesn't. Then she calls it differently
32:25
and they she kind of opened my eyes to, like a different way to
32:28
think about stuff. So I was, I was like, oh, this
32:31
this actually makes sense. Yeah yeah, she doesn't like, I
32:37
do not explain it. She'll like, usually they call
32:41
the end and then they'll just be like insert move insert move
32:43
insert move into move. Hers is more like combos, if
32:47
that makes sense. So it's like, like this, listen
32:50
to this, listen to this. So it's kind of like, makes
32:53
sense what you're doing. And Of just like move a move.
32:56
Be moved. See, you know what I mean?
32:58
You guys remember a whole mess? Yeah.
33:00
If you put Mass together, like I would never be able to do this.
33:04
I'm such an improv person, that I don't know if I'd be able to
33:06
do that, but your match, your match for me that I felt like, I
33:11
was like, oh, shit, Cosmic, she's getting it and this match
33:14
was awesome. Was it was a it was a tag team
33:17
match. I want to say a mixed tag team
33:20
match, but there's only one guy in it.
33:21
The rest are all females. It was you and REM.
33:24
Versus Danny Mo and and Tessa Blancher.
33:27
All right, I forgot about them. I'm like, what?
33:31
Yeah, and I felt like, because controversy aside, like I got to
33:36
have a conversation with her and talk a lot about the controversy
33:39
that surrounds her. I've never had a negative
33:42
experience with her. I thought she's always been
33:44
super sweet and super helpful and a great person who both
33:47
backstage and I think even with her not even being on the scene
33:50
as actively. I still think she's top three in
33:52
the world, as a professional wrestler, female.
33:54
Professional wrestler and female professional wrestler.
33:56
She's so incredibly good, and you guys had really good
33:59
chemistry in that match. I can't, I can't really remember
34:03
what we did. Can you Colombian?
34:05
I can't even remember. It was, it was a lot of gun.
34:07
It was like there was that there was the Gaga spots because it
34:09
was like the comedy with like REM being involved in it.
34:12
But like you and Tessa had like some strong style moments where
34:15
you took some Germans from her and then you all right.
34:17
And like the Strong Style fights and stuff that you guys.
34:20
Yeah, like you guys throw some elbows at each other.
34:22
And like that's test is bread. And butter is Just like
34:25
essentially pain a mean bitch in that ring and like you met her,
34:28
you met her halfway like you guys Collide and it was good.
34:31
But then you also did the Lucha stuff with Danny Mo like so you
34:34
were like in one match. You were like Strong Style with
34:36
Tessa and then you were Lucia more with Danny but then you
34:42
were also doing the Gaga, funny stuff and he'll work with REM
34:45
and the whole mix. Like it was just a lot going on
34:48
and for you like I felt like it was a lot thrown at you and you
34:51
handled it beautifully. Like you you get 2, different
34:53
styles going on Plus Doing the he'll work.
34:55
Plus, you know, telling the story of the match and I thought
34:57
it was really, really good. All right, I think this old like
35:01
I think that was the first match that I got over.
35:06
I was going through a phase where I was like like hitting
35:09
girls but I was kind of like cautious about it.
35:11
So I was kind of like, you know what I mean?
35:13
Like throwing these ugly, like, little whatever.
35:16
And I didn't want people to be like, oh, she's dangerous to
35:18
work with, she's you know what I mean?
35:20
So, I was kind of, like, just not really hitting so I wasn't
35:23
really. Ting it was I was not I was not
35:26
doing it was not looking good and then I believe it was at.
35:31
So at fall out there are just like you're just gonna learn to
35:35
fucking throw them and if they carcinoma yeah, if they cry.
35:40
They cry. So then I think that was like
35:42
the first batch that I was just like, I told her beforehand.
35:45
I was like, look, I am a little bit heavy-handed, I don't mean
35:49
to hit people on like, you know, he's like hi, I'm Tessa Vlad.
35:52
Yeah, it was like Yeah. Go ahead just rock my shit.
35:56
All right, looks like she's your heavy-handed.
36:01
Hi, I'm Tessa, I'm gonna give him right back.
36:06
Yeah, I really do. You can check that out and fight
36:08
TV. Just search ppw.
36:09
I don't remember the name of the show but it's definitely on
36:11
there. It was a really good match with
36:12
the kid. He did the moonsault.
36:14
Yeah. Yeah.
36:15
That was good. You're right.
36:16
There was a lot of stuff in that match.
36:18
Was a lot going on. Yeah, that was really it was
36:21
really really good. And then it kind of just going
36:23
back and now that I actually found the YouTube page to watch
36:26
more of that stuff I seen you and Tricia door, which a huge
36:30
Tricia door fan. You guys had a great match.
36:32
Their like, I mean, you in a short amount of time, you put
36:35
some, you put some pretty Heavy Hitters on your resume, that you
36:38
got to be in the ring and work with well, the New York scene, I
36:42
have to say there were pretty good on female Talent, all
36:45
right? I can now say anything bad about
36:48
female talent and York City and then they're also like it's like
36:53
a cot bed. So it's like If you go to
36:55
Chicago and people are getting phone out, half of them are the
36:58
from New York City. We're all just there again like,
37:01
you know what I mean? Like, it could just been another
37:02
New York City show. Pa pa is struggling right now.
37:06
With her female seem like there's only maybe a handful of
37:09
people who are due and then even them.
37:11
They're traveling out because the PA Seem doesn't really and
37:14
I'm not, I'm not throwing shade but a lot of the PA seeing
37:17
doesn't respect women's wrestling.
37:18
They don't give it a shot and it's and they can't bring people
37:21
in and they don't like a woman. A woman gives a rate and They're
37:24
like mad. I'd rather just pay and bring
37:26
somebody else in because they don't really respect the women's
37:28
side of wrestling. And I think that's bullshit
37:30
Jersey scene. It's it's better, but it's
37:34
still, it needs a catch-up, it's tough.
37:37
You go to these companies and they don't have a women's
37:39
division. It's like insert Women's
37:40
Champion here and we're going to struggle every week to bring an
37:43
opponent in for them. And if they can't bring an
37:45
opponent. Well, hon, you're going to be in
37:46
a mixed tag this week, you know what I mean?
37:49
And that sucks for women's wrestling in those two scenes.
37:51
And I love both those States. I don't get to work a lot New
37:53
York. I've never really done.
37:54
Done it yet. But like that your de right?
37:57
The New York scene is definitely where it's at.
37:58
When it comes to female wrestling.
38:01
You can just tell those PA girls like just just come to New York,
38:03
we're all like you know, we're all it's a five-hour drive, no
38:06
big deal. Yeah, I mean, hey if it's your
38:08
dream, that's what you gotta do, right?
38:12
Definitely those those Hazleton days.
38:15
Oh my God. I literally just lost a car.
38:18
My car exploded. Like I have no car right now.
38:21
So I'm like loaded. I mean the transmission just
38:23
blew up while I was on the road so like it's dead.
38:26
It's dead in the water and the fix the transmission costs more
38:28
than the actual cars words. I'm just like, no got to figure
38:30
this out now but yeah, put miles on cars.
38:33
Is that's a thing. Here you go to Duke from the HED
38:39
Network says, the New York. Knuckleheads.
38:41
Yeah, so this toe tag or believe so I'm not sure.
38:45
Well I appreciate them coming in and give a fall.
38:48
If your content greater men, hit me up will collaborate.
38:50
I love meeting new people and working with people.
38:52
Plus, if you have that New York scene, I'm always trying to
38:54
learn more about different scenes, you know.
38:56
New York is definitely where I struggle right now, but when it
38:59
comes to the three states in my area, so I gotta get, I gotta
39:02
get more up there and learn that stuff.
39:06
Yeah, I'm trying to, I had another question, but I lost it.
39:08
I got sidetracked, we were talking about Nothing.
39:11
Oh, so currently Champion, let's walk through that, you know,
39:15
will kind of pull back the curtain little bit if you're
39:17
okay with that. But like when you get told by a
39:21
promotion like, hey, we we believe in you, we're going to,
39:26
we're going to put the strap on you.
39:28
And also, you're going to be probably one of the top
39:30
prospects and independent wrestling right now, when it
39:32
comes to female talent to do. So, like where you at mentally?
39:35
How did you find that news out? How was it broke to you?
39:39
Okay, so battle Club is owned by Joe or Joakim and Morales and he
39:48
won. I went to fall out.
39:52
He was like excited and stuff and I would always tell me like,
39:54
why are you so excited? I was like, I'm not that good.
39:56
I'm like here, you know, I mean like I'm not and then he'll just
40:01
be like don't worry you don't have to dream, I'll dream for
40:05
you. You know what I mean?
40:05
Like you don't, you don't have to think you're the, you're
40:07
good. I'll think you're good.
40:09
Good for you. So every time I would come in to
40:12
train and stuff, I would get a little bit better, he'd put on
40:15
just Heap, he throw me in these matches and even like the very
40:18
first match he threw me and I was like, I don't know.
40:20
I mean I don't know if I can, you know, do this and he was
40:23
like, you got this, you got this.
40:24
Don't worry about it, you got it.
40:25
So he would just like, push me in there and he even when he
40:30
told me that I was going to get the belt.
40:32
I was like are you sure? Like you sure you want me to do
40:35
this? Like, I don't think I'm ready.
40:36
You don't want to wait a year like give me like another year.
40:39
I feel like in a year maybe I'll say yes, maybe and he was like
40:42
no, no, no you're doing this now.
40:43
It's now or never and I was like, oh God.
40:48
So I really appreciate you do. I love you so much.
40:51
I appreciate you two jokers. Sometimes people in this
40:54
industry. Meaning and this this industry
40:56
is amazing. And it's a great dream but it
40:58
beats the shit out of you and it could ruin your confidence and
41:01
it only takes that one person to believe in you and and say,
41:04
like, hey like you may not believe in you right now but I
41:07
do and we're going to work not just To me, that's that's like,
41:10
what's so amazing about him. He's like this with so many
41:13
others. So many other people, even like,
41:15
people who are students, who don't are people who don't come
41:18
to ball out. He he like, sees he sees like
41:22
the bigger picture like he sees Cosmic in like, whatever the
41:27
most Cosmic I'm supposed to be before I can see it and he's
41:30
already like you're doing this and I've seen him do it for like
41:35
other people and it's just like, I don't know, I don't know.
41:38
I really Know where I would be if it wasn't for him.
41:41
What is, what is it called? When Sailor Moon like gets in
41:43
that Super Saiyan mode? It's super say mode.
41:47
She hasn't. She has a form where she like,
41:49
that's diesel, right? Yeah, something like that.
41:53
To go through phases. So she's, she's like, that was
41:56
actually. It's actually called phases,
41:57
right? Yes.
41:58
Look at her face and she goes into her.
42:00
Since it's the sailors. Super Sailor Moon there.
42:03
She turns into like, you know, eventually it's just like she
42:06
turns into internal Sailor Moon. It's Just like this is phases,
42:10
but yeah, you need different phase, dear.
42:12
Yeah. You need to cure on that next
42:14
phase. Now, you gotta, you know, I
42:15
mean, yeah, actually, I do remember now, as you said phases
42:20
because that friend, we're back to Sailor.
42:23
Moon. ADHD were like Tarantino movies,
42:25
hear this, but and the show there was a card game.
42:28
I believe that she had a card game, and it was like Pokemon.
42:31
And then like, you had to, like, to get your Sailor Moon strong,
42:34
you had to get her faces up, and that was part of the card game.
42:38
I've never played. Trading card game.
42:40
I think all anime actually like literally every anime show, I
42:44
think comes out with trading card games and they somehow
42:47
figure it out. Like, I don't know what the
42:48
premises of the game is but they make it work.
42:53
Yeah. Thank you Alex for coming and
42:54
hanging out. Please check out other episodes
42:55
man. Like I try to Showcase very,
42:58
very good talent and good people in this industry and cosmics,
43:01
one of many. So I appreciate you coming in
43:02
and checking it out. You're the best.
43:04
Monkey says, I was the kid that gave you the finger at ppw,
43:08
there was too many Kids. Like, I mean yeah there's so
43:09
many my favorite actor. Well, you popped lard on
43:13
commentary one time where this kid was somebody was giving you
43:17
shit. Are some little girl is giving
43:18
you shit. And you literally looked at her
43:20
and goes, I don't care if you hate me, your dad loves me.
43:23
And I was just, I was on commentary.
43:25
Like yeah, like without even has a tation.
43:30
Like there's not enough of that honestly.
43:34
Like and it's how do I how do I say this without sounding
43:37
stranger or like, Female empowerment are like when a
43:41
woman uses her sexuality and her Advantage.
43:44
It's not used enough especially in pro wrestling.
43:46
I always wanted that female Ric Flair like in Charlotte, came
43:50
out one day and she's like, even you fat boy in the front row,
43:54
I'll make you cry into my hotel room, and that would be an
44:00
amazing care. And you kind of lean into that
44:03
or you're just like when people more so on social media than on
44:08
your character in The Ring, Ring.
44:09
But I think it's gonna come out more as a character when you're
44:12
there with. It's my absolute favorite.
44:14
Oh, hi to you. But no, that was, it's really,
44:20
really good. I when you said that you pop me
44:22
so hard on commentaries. Like that is fucking hilarious.
44:24
I do. I remember what I said, but I
44:26
was like, that was that was amazing.
44:28
You can hate me all you want, honey.
44:29
But your dad, I remember her expression and she was like,
44:32
yeah, yeah. It's Only a lot of a lost art
44:41
and it needs to it needs to happen more and in professional
44:45
wrestling with a female like someone just delete into that
44:47
character to just be like use it.
44:50
It's there you're getting essentially most females are
44:52
being sexualized anyway but take the power back you know?
44:55
I mean I mean I love it. That's what I I believe in like
45:00
it. I understand that some some
45:02
women don't want to cross the line because they don't want to,
45:04
you know, be viewed only as this thing.
45:09
But I feel like personally, I like it.
45:12
I, you know what I mean? Like, I know I'm cute.
45:15
You don't have to tell me, like, I can tell, because when I
45:17
walked by your eyes, follow me. You don't, you don't have to let
45:20
me know. Hashtag favorite, your favorite.
45:24
So, what are some future plans for you in this wrestling
45:27
business? Where do you see yourself or do
45:29
you want to take yourself? Um, hmm, where do I want to take
45:34
myself? I I just want to be the most
45:40
Cosmic. I can be so like I want to live
45:45
live out this character. I would love to see Cosmic on
45:51
the grand stage, have these, you know, elaborate gears.
45:54
And just, I don't know where I don't really want to like, Be
46:00
like, this is my only thing. This is my only Road.
46:03
I'm pretty much open to anything.
46:08
Basically anyone who wants to take me, I guess I we're gonna
46:11
make it work. Like, I'm just gonna make it
46:13
work. Wherever I end up, it's gonna
46:14
work if there. If there is a women's division
46:19
will say on the, on the bigger seat on the bigger scenes, where
46:21
do you think you fit in our? Where do you think?
46:24
Like, if you had like word, where would you want to go out
46:26
of all the different companies? Because me personally, like
46:30
there's maybe one company's women division that I love the
46:32
roster, but I think the story lines and what they're doing
46:35
with the women's division isn't as strong for me as others.
46:38
And then there's one that, like, I think two companies, I think
46:40
they're women's division is better than the men's divisions
46:43
at some point. I'm like, aw, I love aw, women's
46:47
division as a roster, like, it's got some of my favorite people
46:50
to watch, like, Willow Athena Ruby Soho like, like Tony storm,
46:55
you know, me psoriasis, array of back.
46:57
Like, that's a great thing. But the stories aren't grab me
46:59
as much, you know. And I love Jade.
47:01
I love Britt like, that's a great division but I struggle a
47:04
struggle with the connecting to it.
47:06
WB right now II struggle. I love that, you know because
47:09
it's they don't they have destroyed Direction and I love
47:12
Charlotte and I love Bianca nxt's, women's division is
47:15
fucking awesome. I love it with an XT and XT has
47:19
an impact. A women's division is fucking
47:21
amazing, like, Dianna Basha like there's so many good people
47:25
there. It's just.
47:26
But where do you? Where do you see?
47:27
Like, where would you is? Where would you like to mix it
47:29
up at? I mean, I the one thing I want
47:32
to say about aw is I think they kind of got it a little bit,
47:36
right? With Jade.
47:37
There has to be Be more larger-than-life characters, you
47:40
know what I mean? Especially for the women.
47:44
I just, I don't know how to say, I want to say, like, you know
47:49
how Marvel tries, to make their superhero see more human by
47:52
giving them like like I'm Spider-Man but I'm actually
47:56
broke and really depressed. Yeah, like I'm not I'm not
47:59
looking for that. I'm looking for Superman.
48:02
Who can take down a fucking building by like fucking
48:05
flicking his finger? Yeah.
48:07
If that, if you Then what I'm saying?
48:09
Like I don't I don't want to make like the same connection
48:14
like oh her and I are the same person.
48:17
We're on the same. No, I want to make, I want to
48:19
see stars. I have almost have stars in my
48:21
eyes when I look at you like that's what I feel.
48:22
Like that's what I want. That's for Cosmic Bianca
48:28
Bel-Air. We have me like I look at Bianca
48:30
blaring. Like, that's a bad chick right
48:31
there. I want to be a larger than life
48:34
character. I definitely you can be Do you
48:38
prefer working the the face? Or the he like, where do you
48:42
would like I obviously prefer heel because yeah, where I
48:45
thrive, it's weren't more natural.
48:48
You can just come up with stuff on the Fly and whatever and it's
48:52
funny because you're a good heal, but fans respond to your
48:55
heel, work in a positive way. I don't know.
48:57
Yeah, I've been trying to shake that off a little bit.
49:01
It doesn't matter what walk out. Yeah.
49:08
If you ever wrestle Dickie as soon as you have the courage
49:11
just do that, remember this Nikki?
49:15
Yeah. Oh my God, I just remembered
49:17
another thing. She sent me a footage of her one
49:18
match. And I was like, can I ask you a
49:20
question? And I'm not trying to be weird
49:22
again, she goes a lot of like are your pants too tight.
49:24
She's like why I said, bro, you get up like a 95 year old man.
49:28
Like you put your all your weight on your lead leg and you
49:30
stand up like, like you said, she's like, I don't even know
49:32
what I do that like and I was like, I thought it was your
49:35
pants. What?
49:36
Your knee pads like I thought you couldn't move.
49:38
Ooh, what she used to wear? Like the red pants on the
49:40
blacktop, like what? It was just like, she just put
49:43
clothes on him into the ring. Yeah, funny, she's in, she's a
49:49
doll. I love her.
49:51
Yeah. Yes, that's all you got to do.
49:53
That's it. Just just just go out and Nikki
49:55
dupe them, his full of them all out at Sea because even the
49:57
metal Trish, you are healed but like you were the baby face,
50:00
they loved. Yeah.
50:01
Yeah. It's it doesn't matter what I
50:03
do, they, they just love me. It's because you're the
50:05
favorite. I know, I'm literally their
50:07
favorite Like literally pull out your mjf.
50:10
He's posted the biggest deal in the company.
50:11
It happens I can literally like stare at someone and tell them
50:15
to shut up and they love it. They love stars in their eyes.
50:19
That's what's on you. That's what you want.
50:20
You want to be larger than life that you're doing it.
50:24
You're not con knucklehead here. I think he said that stoked.
50:28
That's toe tags. Yeah, sure, WWE champion.
50:32
Maybe we'll see ya. Speaking of Jada.
50:34
Who do you think? Who do you thinks the want to
50:36
take? Jade out?
50:38
I don't know yet. That's the thing, like that
50:41
lender. Okay, so I think it's just like,
50:45
I do like, how they build her up, right?
50:47
She's she's like this, this This big like fighting machine but
50:53
except she doesn't really fight. That's the only problem.
50:56
You know what I mean? Like, her statue is great.
50:58
Her look is great. Her her vibe is great.
51:01
They just in rings getting better as a.
51:03
Yeah, they just need to put her in with someone where she can
51:07
literally like, bash heads and with like, like boom, I thought
51:11
her best opponent has been so far in this entire run.
51:15
I thought her to mention what Willow were the best I thought
51:17
so too. They were pretty really like,
51:19
well, I also like, I like, A difference of Personality
51:22
they're like, yeah, is Willow has Willa has a cool character
51:25
where she's like, she's bubbly and smile.
51:28
Yeah, you would know, like, with the I don't know what they're
51:31
called, but they're like the cute bunny.
51:33
Rabbits and they would like smile, but like when you piss
51:35
them off to turn it like Psychopathic Killers, you know,
51:37
I'm talking about like they were like, hey, I wasn't that happy
51:40
tree friend thing. Yeah, yeah, they were like
51:42
angry. I think they were just like
51:44
freaking suicide or whatever the hell they were.
51:46
Well they just get angry snap out like that's Willow because
51:49
like halfway through a match she goes from We do like not after
51:52
that. Almost like she's like, the New
51:53
Yorker comes out in her ear. I thought they had.
51:57
I thought she had to imagine II, you know, Athena over an aide
52:00
and roh how they had. She had great matches with her
52:03
but I, I think, I think, I think Monet comes in and I think she's
52:07
the one to beat her. So you think she's actually
52:09
coming, I think so. I think that's what they're
52:11
going to go around. She's like CEO of, is it?
52:16
Our contracts officially done with Japan.
52:19
She is officially her contract is up but she wants to still
52:21
work there, but if she wants to keep working Japan and she wants
52:24
to bounce back and forth and she wants to take dates in America.
52:27
I think like a w is going to be your best bet and Naomi they
52:30
said she's going to make a those shows up in an impact and all
52:35
right and I love Naomi's athleticism that woman she can
52:40
move. Like yeah yeah she's a she's a
52:42
badass but yeah it's it's great. And it's like it like heard that
52:47
with those they both essentially left the big deal.
52:50
The big stage and shown that women's wrestling has a value.
52:53
Like Sasha said, like now man, we can make this money here too.
52:56
You know, I mean like I like that.
52:59
Hey guys, she tells me to shut up all the time and it's the
53:02
moment of the night for me, some people like humiliation.
53:07
Can't like we're not here to judge you a lot more than you
53:11
think, obviously your ID stories.
53:15
They're amazing. I just be selling lava modes
53:17
that I like your people always ask me like are those real
53:20
responses I'm like yeah, you think I just sit there so them
53:23
to myself like I doing meet-and-greets for as long as
53:27
I've been doing meet-and-greets and being partnered up with with
53:29
both sides of the spectrum. Dudes are weird.
53:32
Sometimes like that's the first thing I tell, when I'm like,
53:35
working with my go just if you like, give me a safe word or a
53:39
pineapple or whatever like you mean, like if someone starts,
53:41
I'll push them along. I play the bad guy.
53:43
That's my job as like a meet and greet person.
53:45
Just like All right, fuck yeah, no one crosses.
53:50
This line here. Yeah.
53:52
Like you get the picture and they bring a joke.
53:56
It's a lot. But I like I said, I like how
53:59
you control it and you're always you're in charge of the
54:01
situation which is dope as fuck. So besides, besides wrestling,
54:06
let's like, we kind of talked about Sailor Moon, stuff like
54:08
that, but what are some other things besides the professional
54:10
wrestler in the Sailor Moon? If like that Cosmic is into what
54:13
are what are your hobbies when you're not with?
54:16
Titles and busting heads. One of the things I would love
54:20
to do is I would love to do voice acting so it doesn't have
54:25
to be anime. It could be, but I love General
54:28
like animation. So I would love to be part of
54:32
like, how do I explain it? So like the experience of when I
54:35
was growing up with Sailor Moon and how is such a large part of
54:39
my life, I'd like to do something like that.
54:41
Or is this kind of like like if I hear Mark Hamill's voice
54:47
anywhere. I can pick it up right away
54:48
because it's like, you know what I mean?
54:51
Like, it's just like, it takes me back to like when I was a kid
54:54
watching Batman or Kevin Connor. Hey, there is a Batman comic.
54:58
I hear him in Mark. That's my two voices in my head
55:01
even when it's not someone is knocking Mark.
55:03
Hi Mom. Like this is not the Joker,
55:05
like, yeah, so I would love to kind of do that.
55:11
Awesome. What are the?
55:12
What? What games are you playing?
55:13
What? Movies are you watching?
55:14
What are you into? Well see I play various games,
55:19
right? So like the most recent game I
55:21
was playing was phantasma phobia with my friends was just like
55:25
that. The ghost one.
55:26
You go home. Yeah.
55:27
You go hunting for ghosts. I literally was playing that
55:29
like a few hours ago. I don't know if I can handle
55:32
that. It's good.
55:33
Hey, jump scares. It's a good.
55:35
It's a good game. You should I love playing it?
55:38
When people are actually scared because it's like, Picks up on
55:41
your microphone. So when you say certain triggers
55:45
events, so like if you'll say like, I'm scared, then you'll
55:49
start hearing stuff only on your headphone, like no one else
55:52
here. That's, that's fucking bad.
55:54
So, it's pretty as PC only, right?
55:57
Yes, I think so far right now, it's PC.
55:59
Most of the games I play on our steam or like my Nintendo
56:02
switch. I'm not really like a console
56:06
person sort of doing more game streams.
56:09
I started doing a breath of the Wild And it's infuriating that
56:13
game pisses me off so much why? It's because they don't tell you
56:18
anything. They're just like yo, here's the
56:20
world figure it out and be like, oh and by the way, you're never
56:24
going to get hard. You're never going to get
56:26
anything. Also, your weapons are going to
56:28
break every three hits like I'm like, what the fuck is up with
56:32
this guy? Oh my God, it pisses me.
56:34
You are you? So are you majorly a council
56:36
person or? Yeah, I so I only like the what
56:39
I when I do all my content on This laptop, I if I want to
56:43
eventually get a gaming PC because I don't want to put
56:45
anything on this and overrun it, and break it.
56:47
Because if I break this, my contents done, I mean, sorry.
56:50
Like, I baby this thing, but I definitely want to get a game pc
56:54
at some point, but for now I pretty much I'm Xbox that the
56:58
frigerator Xbox and I have a switch.
57:00
Yeah, I have this, which I love this one because it's just like,
57:03
so, so casual, but it does have like real games and obviously
57:07
Pokemon, that's always been like any.
57:10
I actually have not played the latest Last one which was like,
57:12
violet and I bought it. And then I was waiting for the
57:15
updates because it was like people were having a lot of
57:18
issues with it and I was like, I don't want to play and have
57:19
issues since it'll turn me off. So I just bought it and let it
57:22
sit and then the update came and I just never turned it on yet.
57:26
So it's still waiting for me. Maybe that'll be what I stream
57:28
next. I should I want to, I want to
57:31
play it to experience it but come on.
57:36
So I don't know if I should say, I feel like that's a personal,
57:40
right? So so personal, you know, me
57:43
like that. Who do you think is my favorite
57:46
Pokemon? I want to feel like I'm going
57:51
to. I'm going to say, type a type of
57:52
Pokemon. I feel like for some reason I
57:55
feel like fairy is your is your jam.
57:56
Like you're very tight but I could be wrong.
57:59
I am a dark Ghost type. So I that's right.
58:02
That's that's the Wheelhouse I'm in.
58:04
But mmm. I don't know.
58:07
I see, I only really know the one, the 151, like anything.
58:10
After that I don't really like the name is kind of get out of
58:12
me. I'm like I said, I'm a gen 1,
58:13
mostly everything. So I am not, it's tough.
58:17
There's a lot of, there's a lot to know dark Pokemon Ghost
58:19
types, though, you're missing? Yeah, but my, I'm a gang are guy
58:23
all day long. Okay?
58:27
So I like to say my, I like like my little tick, but actually my
58:32
my favorite Pokemon is Chikorita.
58:35
Okay. I was, I was I was I didn't want
58:38
to give you like the basic like girl version of EV Sylveon.
58:47
Yeah, something like that. Yeah.
58:49
No it's actually. I love sugar.
58:51
Yeah. That's that is my favorite
58:53
Pokemon. Yeah.
58:54
Gastly Haunter gang Garwood gangers.
58:56
Definitely. My favorite.
58:57
I actually like the ghost of Ghost that puts the sack on its
59:02
head. It makes it look stuff like
59:03
Pikachu. Mimic you order to make you.
59:05
Yeah. Yeah, that was kind of, do I
59:06
like reading the BIOS because the BIOS, our darkest, the lures
59:10
Q is like he's nobody wants them.
59:12
He so he wanted if he, but if he did mascot of, but if, if he's
59:17
seen, doesn't he, like he's so terrifying that he fucks like,
59:19
yeah, like people like kill themselves actually see him
59:22
wears it. Like, it's something real dark
59:23
like that, like he's so terrifying that he can't be
59:26
seen. So he posted even like, if you
59:28
remember Drift, Loom was just like a hot air balloon Pokemon
59:32
if that makes sense. Or it was like he like kid.
59:35
Naps kids into the night and shit.
59:37
Like it's like you can only freaking find them on
59:40
Wednesdays. While it's raining that I can.
59:43
I was so mad about that when I was playing.
59:44
I think it was like I can't remember.
59:46
It was Pearl Diamond whatever. Yeah the hell game I was playing
59:49
at the time it was like I'm ideas Ivan.
59:52
The chest is good. You know if anyone has it we're
59:54
at the hour mark that's usually where we wrap things up or get
59:57
close to it. If anyone has anything in the
59:59
chat, any questions please get them in.
1:00:00
Now while we wrap this up Cosmic, where can people find
1:00:04
you? On my Instagram.
1:00:07
That's mainly the platform. I use I have like Twitter and
1:00:10
all that stuff but I don't really use it.
1:00:12
Um it's yes, Cosmic Instagram and interim a hunter.
1:00:16
I think you had a cut question earlier that I might have.
1:00:18
What's your what's your favorite male wrestler in favor?
1:00:21
Female wrestler right now. Hmm.
1:00:24
I've answered so female wrestler right now is that there's so
1:00:27
many good ones, I don't really, I don't know, I can't really
1:00:31
pick who did fangirl over. Um, I don't want to watch my
1:00:39
wife does not watch wrestling but every time I really like
1:00:42
really on screen, I don't want to seem like, you know, but
1:00:45
she's I guess so excited when she's on the screen, she's so
1:00:49
great. Like her character, work is
1:00:51
great, her faces are great, everything so great about her,
1:00:54
she's a big, did you see that recent post that she was like,
1:00:57
working out her back? I was like, I was like, oh my
1:01:00
God. Like someone just said, she I
1:01:03
guess like, I've been doing. I don't really promote it but
1:01:05
it's on my YouTube channel. I've been doing like a A journal
1:01:08
of log, and a lot of it's just like, sad cry.
1:01:10
Boy. Me, like just putting up my
1:01:12
emotions that I don't really do a lot, and I was kind of like
1:01:17
trying to explain where I was mentally and someone message me
1:01:19
like you should listen to real on this podcast because she
1:01:21
struggles with the same thing like you do.
1:01:24
And I was like really and she's like yeah, like she's struggled
1:01:26
a lot with self-confidence and her self-worth and stuff.
1:01:29
But then you see her in her character and she's like, just
1:01:31
the dominant. She's mommy like she's the boss.
1:01:34
Yeah you know, it's like, I have to check that out.
1:01:37
About male wrestler. I don't really favor men.
1:01:41
So, um, I don't know. Hmm.
1:01:48
Kevin Owens is my dude. Yeah gives it a for those chubby
1:01:51
Daddy's you know I mean Kevin Owens and Adam caller probably
1:01:53
my two favorites. I can't I don't really have a
1:01:57
favorite male wrestler right now.
1:01:59
Yeah if you could write a letter to your younger self what would
1:02:03
it say? Hmm that's how your family's I
1:02:06
get into wrestling much earlier. Yeah I wish I was one of those
1:02:11
stories that was like I said I'm wrestling at 14 like Bailey I
1:02:14
got some 3 yeah I got it. 25. How did much different your life
1:02:20
would benefit if Sailor Moon was replaced with W?
1:02:23
But I just feel like, even now if my younger self even high
1:02:28
school self, if I got a letter was like, Hey get into
1:02:30
wrestling. You should be like, what the
1:02:31
fuck? Like I never watch this before,
1:02:34
like this. This obviously was not written
1:02:36
by me. No questions is always a
1:02:39
pleasure to watch you work. And then last one is Cosmic
1:02:42
rules. But thank you once again.
1:02:47
I appreciate you so much. Like I said, I have the other
1:02:50
content coming, we're like, so if you have anything else, you
1:02:52
want to jump in and do like if you want to like review a movie
1:02:55
with me are maybe like I start watching it.
1:02:58
Are you explain an anime to me and then maybe I start watching
1:03:01
it or something. There's so much different
1:03:03
Avenues. If you want to jump on a harbor
1:03:04
we won't be my wife. I don't know if you're in a
1:03:06
horror movies but we just start doing.
1:03:08
We just watched I watched and I waited for her to watch it so we
1:03:10
can do a review. But I just want to smile.
1:03:14
Which was that one? Just like this demon chases
1:03:18
people and kills them, but like it reveals Itself by like, this
1:03:21
creepy smile. I haven't seen that one, then.
1:03:24
I think it's on Netflix, right? I think Paramount plus, okay,
1:03:28
yeah, we just did with our first one.
1:03:30
We do is the new scream. Then we did cocaine bear, and
1:03:33
then we just want to suck. Okay.
1:03:34
Bear, dude. It's awesome.
1:03:36
Really awesome. Don't go into it expecting
1:03:39
scary. Don't go into it expecting a
1:03:41
masterpiece. Just go in expecting.
1:03:43
And funny and a good time and you'll love it.
1:03:46
All right, I'm going to do the kids.
1:03:47
Do the kids, eat coconut like little kids, it's hilarious.
1:03:55
It's a, it's a giant bear who eats cocaine and just murders
1:04:00
everybody. I remember hearing this, like
1:04:02
the actual news story and then somehow like, two weeks later a
1:04:05
movie was released. I was like the actual news story
1:04:08
happened years and years and years ago outside must have just
1:04:11
like resurfaced or something. Yeah, it resurfaced.
1:04:13
And And so the bear never hurt anybody.
1:04:16
It ate the coke, it ran for a while and then just died.
1:04:19
Like I feel like that's some genius marketing.
1:04:21
They must have purposely like, he was like, Hey guys heard
1:04:24
about this cocaine bear? Oh, by the way, there's a movie
1:04:28
Bear itself is literally stuffed and on display somewhere like
1:04:32
the cocaine bear. And the way that the bear even
1:04:34
got, the cocaine is even crazier in real life.
1:04:36
This guy worked as an FBI agent and he was a an undercover who
1:04:42
then turncoat and then became a drug dealer and then he was
1:04:46
being caught and he was paranoid.
1:04:48
So he was flying his plane across country with all bunch of
1:04:51
coke. And and he got scared thinking,
1:04:54
he was being followed, started dumping the coke out of the
1:04:57
plane at like 30,000 feet. And this coke just are going
1:05:01
through all these national parks and then he went to jump out of
1:05:04
the plane and whether they don't know, if he hit his head on the
1:05:07
way out, he overdosed. Are he his parachute just didn't
1:05:11
work and he just smacked the And died.
1:05:15
Yeah but so on top of this guy failed parachute to attempt all
1:05:20
the coke. He threw a bear end up eating
1:05:23
like hundreds of pounds of it. And here we are with this movie.
1:05:28
So like there's two insane there on display, like have a little
1:05:32
light, should it definitely should.
1:05:34
But they said, when they cut the Bear open, its stomach was like
1:05:36
a giant was completely packed compact full of coke and like it
1:05:40
was like a rock hard like it ate itself full All of it since it's
1:05:46
crazy. Yeah, yeah.
1:05:48
Just a little, the weirdest. The weirdest story ever.
1:05:50
But it's a fun movie. Go.
1:05:51
You'll watch it have a good time.
1:05:53
