Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Chelsea Green.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I've been waiting for this moment all day long. I've
been talking about it all week, and she is finally here,
Mark the Champion, the United States Women's Champion, Chelsea Green.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
And I just have to tell.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
You that I watched them behind the scenes Netflix special
and I got to know you really, really well. But
I still don't know who you are. You better ask
me how are you doing?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Chelsea?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I am so good. And also, but you did miss
the fact that I'm a double.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I am so sorry, two times double champ.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
I'm a two time United States Women's Champion, and I
am the current mixed tripler off, oh and.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
The greatest women's champion of all time. And all you
gotta do is ask her. Listen, Chelsea, you know I
love you to death. And and Chelsea, Chelsea said something
recently that made my heart just I just buried over
(01:25):
with after she said, I don't want to toot my
own horn, but too too, Chelsea, us tell us about
your greatness?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Well, where where would you like me to start?
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Because really it's it started thirty four years ago when
I was born. But within within wrestling, you know, I've
been doing this ten years. I feel like I've hit
this stride where I know what I'm doing now and
and it and it's like undeniable to me because I
feel so comfortable when I go out there and interact
(02:03):
with the audience or when I have, you know, a live.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Pre taped to do.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
I know who I am through and through, and there's
just no you can't tell me you know me better
than I know myself. And I really think in wrestling
that's so rare, but.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
It's key, Chelsea.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
The I've seen you in the car, you have the
titles on your shoulders, and and I don't think that
they could have found a better person to do what
you're doing right now. You're traveling to and fro doing
all the media. I've done that in my life. Do
you think that there's anybody in the company that can
(02:43):
promote and do like you do?
Speaker 5 (02:47):
So no, no, no, I'm not just saying that because
I am so tired. I'm actually saying that because I
ask Talent Relations and they told me that I've had
the most appearance this year, more so than anyone else
in the company.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
And that's such.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
A flex considering the amount of times I've been released
from WWE to now be in a position where I'm
holding two titles and I am the face of the
company for media. That's amazing. That is such a dream
come true. That's why I never say no to anything.
Why would I not want to be on here chatting
with you guys and building my own personal brand while
(03:26):
promoting the company that I hold championships for.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Chelsea. Let me hit you with this real quick. So
you you just said it, You've been released before.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
What made the difference?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And the girl that they release and a girl that
they now put all the trust in as a WWE representative.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
I think there's a couple different things, Like I really
do believe in right place, right time, and you think
you're in the right place at the right time until
you you know, hindsight, till you look back and you realize,
oh wow, I would have never been doing what I'm
doing now if I hadn't been here then.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
But then, you know, I also just think that life
has happened.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
I've grown up, I've experienced every other wrestling company in
the world.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
And now I'm here at at the end Like this
was my goal.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
This was the pinnacle, This was the top of Mount Everest,
and I climbed every single hurdle to get here, and
now I'm so grateful that I'm here. But I also
I can speak on that. I can go and do
media knowing that I have my dream job and I
don't want to be anywhere else. And I don't know
that everyone everyone can speak like that. You know, a
lot of people get very lucky and they get this
(04:49):
dream job right away, and having lost the dream job
numerous times, I'm like, oh, anything to keep this job.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
We're talking to the through double champion, Chelsea Green right
here on the morning kickoff All Sports Radio AM thirteen
hundred The Zone and always free on the iHeartRadio app.
I got a buddy of mine that's been paying attention
to this, and he said, my greatness started thirty four
years ago when I was born. He felt that when
(05:19):
you said that. But you're in town, obviously you got
a big event Tonight, SmackDown is at the Moody Center.
How excited are you to be in Austin, Texas and
of course representing the brand of Chelsea Green tonight at SmackDown.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I mean I always go to Texas.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
It's close to Florida, close to sport, little flight and
Austin has amazing food, the crowds are always great. In Texas,
it's easy, it's easy to travel to and from. But
more importantly, got his tickets are on ticketmaster dot com
for as lowest thirty dollars. So I feel like, if
you don't have anything to do tonight, you know, the
(06:00):
drive to Austin and pick up a little thirty dollars ticket.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
You know, Chelsea, I gotta. I gotta being that I
lived in Canada and I know that you're a proud
can Uh. Where do you see yourself on the Mount
Rushmore of awesome Canadian wrestlers.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Well, I fear that in twenty twenty five, I have
really cemented my.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Legacy on the rushmorek Now, I'm not sure that Trish.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
And Jericho and Uh and everyone else would agree, but
I don't care because I'm putting myself there, and really
all that matters is if you believe in yourself.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Believe.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
That is hilarious. I love that fact, and that's a
great question mark for her to be put on the
spot to let you know that I think she's already
cemented on that. So let me ask you this, one
of your toughest matches would have been which one ooh, okay.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
So I've got I've got two. One would be my
dumpster match. It was the first ever women's dumpster match
in WWE. I mean like hello, uh, I took a
power bomb through a table into a dumpster, okay, and
the dumpster was full of spicy salsa.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Spicy and it was all over my face. So that
was that was a.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Literally painful one when the spicy salsa ran into my eyeballs.
And then also when I had to wrestle Penta in
Lucia Underground, that is that is an iconic match that
I didn't know was gonna be iconic, but it in
kind of like.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
The history of Chelsea Green matches.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
That's one that people always bring up, so now I
have to and it showed up different.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It is impressive that you're able to do a match
against a man and have such high success. You you're
you're one of a few champions right now that that
can say that.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I know.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
It's it really is such a flex and you know,
Penta was an amazing grab for WWE. I was so
happy when I heard that Ray Phoenix and Pentagon were
coming to WW. I knew that they already had such
a cult following, but to be able to bring that
to ww TV is I mean it was. It was
(08:30):
a perfect addition to our rosters. But for me to
be able to say that I got in the ring
with one of the greatest of all time, it's rare.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
It's rare, and I feel lucky.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah, so tonight you got the big match? Who is
your opponent tonight? Or do you even know who your
opponent is going to be tonight at SmackDown?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Are you kidding me? I fly by the seat of
my pants.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I don't even know you know my coffee order until
I order it, let alone who I'm gonna wrestle. What
I do know is that sorry art for your ears.
But Jade has been absolutely obsessed with me lately, following
me around. Everywhere I turn, I bump into her very
very high boobs.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
It's just strange.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
So I'm thinking that there's gonna be another run in
with Jade since she why are you.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
So obsessed with me? I might sing that to her.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
I have a feeling shitting around, but stay tuned because yeah,
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, Jina, I was already for your celebration last week
and and and and then. I mean the weather was
nice foot and then a storm came through.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Okay, hold on, I'm renaming her. I'm renaming her a drizzle,
A light drizzle. Okay, like y'all really be hyping her up.
I need to see something before I see the storm. Okay, Well,
a light drizzle has come. Yes, did it rate on
my prin Yes, But I'm not naming her a storm
quite yet.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Just a drizzle.
Speaker 3 (09:58):

screws up your hair, Like really, just.

Drizzle before you go what's the greatest Canadian food?
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Of course, Well, if if I didn't say poutine, that
would be absolutely crazy, crazy crazy.
