Speaker 4 (03:19):
I didn't take him for the best.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
But to be fair, like every place has good poutines,
but you're never gonna get as good as putin as
you're gonna get in Montreal.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah that is Are you a Montreal guy?

Speaker 3 (03:31):
No, I'm from Vancouver, but I just you know, because
the poutin's every what's a Canadian thing, but like the
best ones. It's like, you know, I can I can say,
like you can get Indian food in Canada. You might
not get the same type of Indian but you're gonna
get in India.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
You know, you definitely gotta get good poutine at an
A and W gas station.

Speaker 6 (03:47):
What is that you got it from she took poutine from.
It's a good poutine, but it's not like the best footine.
You didn't even take him to a New York Cries
or something, or like a whole.

All of my first Great America of the Canadian proteins.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
So I like the gravy.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
They use it a in. It's good.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
There's plenty of gravy on it. I used to like
the gravy from KFC, but I don't know if that
would be the first place I take someone Tory Chicken.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
I know I messed up.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Okay, that's time.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
I'm out there, man, I need your help.

Speaker 7 (04:16):
You take that.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Do you guys have a come to Vancouver? Let me know.
I'll take us for a time. I want. Did you
come in the winter? The summer?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Winter time?

Speaker 3 (04:24):
You definitely need to come in the summer. It's nice
and fine here in the winter, but our summers are
actually really nice. And when people judge Camda'm like, just
come in the summer. Trust me, we'll have a whole
different perception.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
It's so great.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, the spring and the summer. When people say come
to Vancouver, I'm like, unless you really like skiing or snowboarding,
then yeah, come here in the winter. There's a ton
of slopes, whistle all that stuff around here. But if
you just like being on side, go clubbing like barn't
even like bar hopping, or just like hiking and bike
like our summers or from spring to summers was fantastic here.
It's a great time to come our trip next year. Okay,

(04:57):
A couple of things before we get into everything. I
do want to talk about you guys wa ships. First
things first, Arianna, is your dryer off? Are we good? Clear?

Speaker 4 (05:08):
We got a new dryer.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
Okay, there has been no issues so far, there.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Any gritty of it all. But I just need to
know if the dryer is good today, we're not going
to disappear out of nowhere, lose connections. Okay, no explosions.
Sounds good, It sounds good. I just want to point
out I thought it was really funny that the first
time I actually didn't mean stocks. I don't think you
remember what I thought. It was funny. It was a
walllymania and I want to introduce myself, and he was like,
I know who you are. Yeah, you know you're you're

(05:42):
pretty dead. I think that year, yeah, it was two
years ago, right, it would have been Philly. I think
so Philly. Yeah, yeah, I remember that. Yeah, I just
to me. I thought it was really funny because I
was like the second time that's happened to me. And
I also understand too, because like I, I found out
a long time ago that the women use Instagram more

(06:04):
than the men, so I hype up the women more.
And that's the second time someone was dating someone into
like I know who you are like that, but uh,
let's get to do it first. First, congratulations because are engaged.
That happened in Paris? Yes, how was How was that?

Speaker 8 (06:24):
Like?

Speaker 3 (06:24):
What was how long did you plan that? Stacks? This was?
Did she know it was coming? Or did she pretend
she knew was coming?

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Like you know, I think she.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
I think she knew it, no matter how much she
wanted to try to keep it his secrets. Like here's
the thing, I wanted to make it special. Paris is
very special to her, and so you know, I could
only hide so much. We're getting there and we're doing
the whole day. She wanted to go see the Eiffel Tower,
but I was trying to convince her. I'm like, no,

(06:53):
you don't want see that thing yet. Right, let's see
it later, you know, but we ended up seeing it
during the day, but that kind of like cut into
the time that we needed to get ready, you know.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
And I was like, we were on the Eiffel Tower
because I've pretty much planned the whole trip, and so
we're on there. As for the itinerary, which you know,
so he knew where he could plug things. I created
it so there was room for like some.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
So did you expect it? Like, was there an expectation
I was.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
Hoping to open that would because if there's a time,
it's literally it's now, Like it's literally now or never,
So like let's go.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Anyway, We're on the Eiffel Tower and.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
He's like, we need to leave soon because I have
some dinner plans for us, And in that moment, I
like I had to turn around and I was giggling.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
I was like, yeah, secret dinner plans. I was like,
it's happening.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, So we uh, I end up the lady. So
I ended up coordinating this with the lady, and she
sent me of like latitude and longitude coordinates to meet
her at and so like I'm just looking like a
stupid idiot. I'm telling her we're down there looking for
a boat or something for dinner, and it's it's yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Then this lady like.

Speaker 5 (08:12):
The rivers like less than you know, it goes through
all the Paris, so there's all these dinner boats and boats.
So I'm like, okay, maybe we are doing dinner on
the boats.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
We're waiting and then this lady just comes out of
nowhere and just like blindfolds her and just like takes
her hostage. And I'm like, dude, i'dn't paid for this package,
like this.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Is in the plan, and she's like quick, we got
to run.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
And I was nervous because I thought what if he
like thought that he had purchased some engagement package but
we were getting kidnapped and he just didn't know. I
was like, I really really hope that we're not like
getting robbed. And because I'm a blindfold on, the lady's
like run, run, run, His hand is in my hand.

(08:58):
I'm like, oh god, what's happening.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah, in that moment, I was in my head, I
was thinking we might be getting kidnapped too.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
But you know, we get there.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
We had to run because the Eiffel Tower shimmers for
only a couple, like a certain amount of times we
were trying to hit that window. But we got there,
the pyro starts going off, and well that was.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
Crazy because so this whole time, I'm thinking it's a boat,
and I'm thinking that we're probably late to get to
the boat, and everybody's probably on the boat, like why
have we left yet?

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Like these two people are taking so long.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
But then when we finally got there, they took off
my blindfold. The proposal was right in front of me,
like oh, it's like, oh, it's right right there. It
was a hymn this giant at heart fireworks, a guy
with the saxophone like Champagne, the Eiffel Tower. It was crazy,
almost perfect because it was perfect.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
It was thank you, thank You.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
But our first songs we actually we rode together on
the Indies to a show like one of your first
shows to get there, and I don't know how it
came up, but you know, Hillary Duff with Dreams Are
Made Of started playing on the radio.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, I play came on shuffle. You know. It definitely
wasn't my song. It might but.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
I thought Canadians loved Hillary Duff.

Speaker 9 (10:17):
So Lily mcgride was great, so I said this, I
said I told them, I'm like, well, I want our
first song that we like sang together in the car
to play, And so I sent them the song, but they're,
you know, from France.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
I don't somewhere it got because France.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Maybe they don't have the Disney channel or Family channel
over there. We don't know. I don't know what Dreams
are made.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
They played, but it wasn't by Hillary Duff.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
I think artistic rendition that it was unrecognizable.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
But I think he started playing like Dreams by Fleetwood Macres.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, still nice.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
That saxophone is nice, but you know it was engagement music.
Why why is Paris so important to you Canadian?

Speaker 5 (11:04):
You know, growing up in French immersion, you know, everything
France was always just acular. And I also always loved
the movie like the Princess Anastasia, you know, the Disney
movie Anastasia. She's like a princess and she never knew
it and she had this little like trinket and like
to reunite her and her grandma and it's together in Paris,

(11:25):
and it was just like it's the most romantic place
and most beautiful place. It was somewhere I'd always wanted
to go my whole life and my first solo trip
minus moving to the US, so like it was just
always a dream of mine. I said, if I'm ever
going to get engaged, like I really really really hope
it's in Paris.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
And I told him that really early on in dating.

Speaker 5 (11:46):
I was like, yeah, my dream engagement is and like,
you know, just subtle.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
He's miss NXT in the ring and in life.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
You know, she is a pasti queen and she wanted,
you know, if if there could have been horses drawn carriage,
that would like we'll.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Get there, you know that.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
The wedding, Yeah, my mom always told me. My mom
calls me her diva, like and not just like a
like wrestling diva, but like a like a diva, like
a pre Madonna.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Like you know, I do like things to be nice.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
That's as nice I like. I like that it was
a genuine proposal because nowadays, what you hear a lot
of is like people already like planned the entire wedding,
the wedding date said, and then they like do the proposal,
and it's like, well, you guys already know you're getting married,
So the nice spontaneous proposal even though you guys mentally
probably you're getting married. It's cool instead of having like
a date set and everything. Talking on the pageant queen part,

(12:40):
how does a pageant queen and the end of Us meet? Like,
how do you guys get together? What's the story?

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Okay, So.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
When I first interviewed with you is when I was
preparing to head to the US. I think we talked
with that in an interview, how I was going to
pack up my car, drive to the US and pursue wrestling.
So my four day in the US, I was working
in indie show and I only worked a handful of
indie shows before I signed at be like maybe seven
or eight, I'm not really sure. But I met him

(13:11):
at my first one and then we instantly clicked. It's
funny because like I'd recognized him, which is, this is
so weird.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
Actually you were stalking No.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
I was before. I'm just gonna briefest it was, this
was really weird. Actually it's okay, I was stalking you.

Speaker 5 (13:33):
Okay, So he was stogging me and just signing out.

Speaker 7 (13:37):
No.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
I was on Instagram one day, like every day I Insta,
but I remember like I was clicking through stories and
I had Natty on Instagram and I saw, like, you know,
she posted stuff in the dungeon people wrestling, and I
remember seeing this really cute guy and I'm like, oh,
I'm like, who's this guy?

Speaker 4 (13:53):
And I'm like he's oh, he's a wrestler.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
So I clicked his profile from the thing and then
I saw his profile we only had like three thousand followers,
so I was like, okay, like I'm not I was like,
I'm not going to follow him, like whatever.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
I felt like so many at the time, it felt
like I was King of the indies.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
People take that for granted. Okay, imagine you're in a
room with three thousand people watching you. That's a lot
of people. Thank you. Oh just three thousand. He's gonna
notice if I follow do it.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
That was the thing.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
That's why I get where you're coming from. But three thousands.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
Before I could have like snuck in.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
But if it was if there's a k you don't
notice anymore, I get it, right.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
I was like, no, that's too weird, like so I'm
just gonna leave it alone.

Speaker 5 (14:35):
But it's crazy because I still remember that moment, the
first moment that I saw him. And the thing is
obviously you see people you don't know. On Instagram all
the time. I don't think I could recall another person
I've just seen on Instagram and like a friends story
or anything.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
But for some reason, that moment sticks in my head.

Speaker 5 (14:52):
So fast forward to September fourth, twenty twenty one. We
meet in Miami and Uh.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
In a brewery. I was the main event. That's why
she came top guy there.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Oh yeah, actually snuck into the woman's Like, no, that
sounds really.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
You know, she was she was she was starting her
wrestling journey. She's like, I need the main event. Guy's
I was in America. Yeah, Jesus no, he's.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
He did end up in the woman's locker room because
I was mixed tag match and I was.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
Like, first of all, why is this guy in here?

Speaker 5 (15:33):
Second of all, I'm like, oh my god, that's the
guy from Instagram who I didn't.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Follow, and I knew I had seen her them advertising her,
and I was like, I've never seen a girl like
this on any of my shows. I'm gonna I'm gonna
find a way to talk to her, and Uh. I
definitely got cold feet though, once I got in the
locker room.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Yeah, because he didn't talk to me.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
I think you were finally the one who said nice pants.

Speaker 5 (15:59):
I liked your pants.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
But that's funny because like, as a guy, that does
happen a lot. We're like super confident, Like you're confident
all your like like nothing, I'm gonna go in there,
I'm gonna make a move. And there you're just like
you talk to the one person who actually know, Hey,
what's up? Yeah, hopefully noticed me. I swear to looked
my way for two seconds. She did, I know, Yeah

(16:23):
that's us who made the first move. Then yeah it
was her.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
She was that like you slipped in my DMS and
asked me to teach you how to make my proteins.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Oh so yeah, after that, after that she opened the
doors like she did, she stopped me.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
She showed up to my event and.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
The event you sound like Benny Blanco.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah, so after that, after she after that first night,
she posted some sweet potato cookies.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
On her story.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
I like my tee baking, and yeah, I was like
I saw that as my open door. I was like
it was look great, I'm gonna I never baked anything
in my life.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
You think I could do it?

Speaker 1 (17:09):
And she's like, I know you can do it, And
so I made him and they looked horrible.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
They were like hockey pucks.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
Yeah, you messed them up.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
And then she's like, hey, how about you, you know,
how about we make them together?

Speaker 5 (17:23):
No, you asked me if I could teach you how
to make them, like listen.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
There, like maybe maybe he messed them up on purpose.
I don't know, maybe between the lines here left in
real life.

Speaker 5 (17:37):
So just.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
You like, coming you come across some baking show, he's
like on it, like in the final to you.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah, that was it.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
And then and then I got a tryout coming up,
so then I called him, and then he got Daddy
and TJ. You know, they hooked him up.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
I was training with them at the time, and then
you know, she had told me she was having to
try out, and I'm like, yeah, you.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
Know, Naddy and TJ E been so good to me,
Like those are the best.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
The reason I'm in the position i'm in. They helped
me through everything. I mean, Natty's through the tryout. You know,
I still talk to them both, like I'm still messaging that,
like she just has so much wisdom that you know,
and she Yeah, eventually I ended up getting the same
tryout as her. Through Natty, And I mean Natty would
crazy enough like this is funny that she would take

(18:29):
my She took my stats and like she she told
them I was the state Maybe I shoudn't say I was.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Like she told them stuff took some liberties in the
in the accolades there, she.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Said I was like a state champion quarterback. I never played,
I was. I was a kicker. She hyped up my
six three, you know, but she helped me out. And
that's me in the door. And because she believed in
me that when I got.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
There, really good person to you know, able to lean
on and talk to in the business.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yeah, you know, both of them they're great. I'd be an
interaction and time I hung out, they've been great and
they gently want to Like I just had Brodie Lee
Junior interviewed them before you guys a couple of days ago,
and even him, it's just like just the way they
want to just help everybody, like that's not common. Well,
like it doesn't matter, like if you get that invite
and they'd tell you to come to the dungeon, like
take it because they just want the best for everyone.

(19:23):
There's no ego with it or anything, no like want to.
They don't. They wouldn't even cared if you didn't bring
them up today. But like, you know, like yes, the
tip of people there. I do have to ask before
I get back to you two as a couple. I
want to know because obviously to talk to you a bunch,
but s taxic, I just like, what what is your
wrestling back on? How long have you been wrestling for?
And what made you want to be a wrestler? Dude?

Speaker 2 (19:42):
So what made me want to be a wrestlers?

Speaker 1 (19:47):
I was in college and I was like, you know,
kind of I was an athlete my whole life, but
you know, I kind of decided not a quarterback though,
not a quarterback of state quarterback. My dad was a
professional boxer, and I actually remember, you know, he was
right in me for a bit and he's like, yeah,
you know, how about you hit the books kid? You know,
you know not that, but you know it's just boxing,
is you know, part of the brain stuffing. My dad

(20:09):
got a brain injury and stuff, so like, you know,
it's just something that he didn't want to see me doing.
So at the I ended up going to college for engineering.
That's why I can set up all these lines suit.
I'm a pretty smart guy.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
That's what she likes too. You know, I got some
brains but.

Speaker 3 (20:24):

I'm sorry, but that moment, like, no matter what I
did in my life from then on out, like I
did engineering, I was gonna go to medical school.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Believe it or not.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
She doesn't believe me, but I was. I was gonna,
uh it.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Just I tried all these things, and it always kept
going back to like that one moment. Just I couldn't
match that, you know, feeling that I got when I
went out in front of the fans, and you know,
I was. I was hooked right away. And then right
after I graduated college, I started training with doctor Tom
at Cane School out in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Dr Thoms the man, ye man.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
He used to head up the you know, he was
the performance Center before the Performance Center.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
I mean this guy trained everybody.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
And dude, he trained me so hard to the point
where you know, I was in his warehouse in Knoxville
eight hours a day throughout the pandemic twenty nineteen, throughout
the pandemic, And.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Dude, he's why I'm here where I am.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
To him and Natty and TJ like my team.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
They're my team that took me to where I'm at,
And yeah, that's that's ended up getting signed and having
the same try out together and we signed together.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Look at that? How crazy is that? That's like I
obviously have done a handful of these interviews now it's
it's always not always, but most time it's that thing.
What it's like, I tried wrestling, I liked wrestling. I
tried to step away from wrestling, but I couldn't stop
thinking about wrestling. Yeah, it was my past, my whole life.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Like I was always a I remember the first time
I watched it.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
What was your first memory? What's your earliest memory, So.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Eddie Guerrero's like championship celebration, the night after life, Like
I had some earlier memories before that, but I really
consistently started watching whatever after that, And dude, I was
hooked ever from that moment on, Like, yeah, just a
huge you know, John Cena fan, huge Edge fan, Like
those are two of my favorites, and yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
That's awesome. And doctor Tom ever times about his school
and you know he has helped a lot. Pomen helped
Pain in the Rock in nineteen ninety six, Like he's yeah,
he's one of the best trainers out there. So that's
a you know, there's a lot of wrestlers that didn't
reach a certain level, but they're like the best trainers
and the best teachers, you know, and Eddie Doctor Tom's
on those like hidden secret guys as well. Hey, it's

Speaker 3 (25:45):
How do you guys like working with each other on screen?

Speaker 5 (25:48):
Now?

Speaker 3 (25:48):
What's the consistency between real life and what we get
on screen? Between the two of you? They teased it
here and there and now it's like official, Like, how's
that been for you too? And was that something you
guys were like for?

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Go ahead, boss, this is where the on screen dynamic
I you know, let her have before you know, that's
the thing, all right, I'm already taking it.

Speaker 5 (26:10):
I know You're like.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
The thing about us being.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
In a real you know, relationship is like I think
a lot of the time you see w W couples
hide those real relationship elements, you know, like it's all
everything's perfect, everything's fine, everything's great.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
No, you know, like are you unhappy? Are you Okay,
that's what that's the relationship thing.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
They twist twisting the words, and you know, like.

Speaker 5 (26:38):
That's very happy that we're working together because you know,
the thing that wrestlers, we're so lucky to have is
that wrestling doesn't feel like a job. When you love
what you do, it doesn't feel like work. And now
to add in an element of doing what you love
with somebody you love, it's like a double winds. So

(26:58):
I mean, I feel like every single day is just
like the best day ever. Like we're super lucky, super blessed,
and I'm so thankful that you know, we've been put
in this position because it's like it's fun and it's
natural and it's real, and you know, sometimes I feel
like like you're saying, you know, what's the difference between
us in real life and then like us on TV?

Speaker 4 (27:21):
And I feel like nothing.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
I want it like it's us, it's us, and like
when we're out there, it feels real.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
I feel different.

Speaker 5 (27:31):
In the ring when he's in the ring with me,
or or he's in the ring and I'm there or
vice versa, Like it adds a different meaning to what
I'm doing, why I'm doing it.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
It just it hits your emotions differently. Yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
No, I agree, And I think like the big thing
is we didn't I don't think we directly pitched for it.
We've we've thrown out ideas and stuff over time. But
I think people just seeing like our dynamic through twitch
or like you know, for almost at the you know,
social videos and all that, and like it was inevitable,
like we just get in a room together and we

(28:08):
just you know, it's the banter.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
It's the Yeah, we definitely banter like an old couple.
And then think that.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Maybe and they're like they're like, just put them on TV.

Speaker 4 (28:18):
That's great because it's it's realistic.

Speaker 5 (28:21):
Like he's saying, like, you know, every couple they want
to act like everything is like all fine and dandy
and perfect. But what's more like relatable is yeah, like
couples that nitpick and bicker or like hey you did that,
or that noise is bothering me.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
Like yeah, like your hair is out of place.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
But no, I think it's if anything, it's also helped
both of us, like you know, her being miss NXT
for all these years and then obviously me being you know,
it's mafia underboss.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Like you know, you know, I put an end to
the family.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
You know, yeah, let's just say it, put that out there,
you know. But it's because I knew there was something
different and some then that was I think it was
to let this happen, and you know, yeah, this feels,
this feels right. I'm still Stacks. I'm still that's that
weasel who you know, I'm still that guy who's gonna

(29:14):
you know, I see it.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
I see her right now. I feel like she's running
to be the best out of you. And you felt
a sudden way in the family. Yeah, maybe she was
in your ear. I don't know. Did you have an
issue with him being in the family or.

Speaker 5 (29:29):
Yeah, because you know, from day one, I seen how
hard he works and like the experience he has, the
coaching he has. I've always felt like he was carrying
the family that without him, no one would even care
about the family or Tony d I think it was
just a matter of time, but he needed to step
away so now he can truly shine because he's amazing

(29:52):
at what he does. And I'd never like to see
him in anybody's shadow except for that shadows nig to me. Yeah,
and I think he deserves the most. And that's the
thing in life. Sometimes people, even family, and sometimes they
can hold you back and you need to cut off,
or you need to cut off and keep the ones
who really truly care about you by your side.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
I never had Tony say that about me, right there,
I love you like, well, you know, he cares about.

Speaker 5 (30:22):
Yeah, you don't become the dawn caring about other people.
You become the dawn caring about yourself. And I think
that that was very obvious.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Yeah, I will say I agree with you. I think
it's a very good you know, you know, but if
I was in Tony D's shoes, I would be like,
what in the yoko ono? But that's okay. But uh,
you know, there was a point where I thought like, oh,
you know, you know, knowing you guys were doating in

(30:51):
your life and no, I'm like, oh, maybe Arianna fits
into the family one day. I did not think about
the opportunity of you helping destroy the family. Yeah, and
then you guys did together. Cool right after that, but hey,
whatever works, right, whatever works.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
And join them beat them.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
I don't know, she.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Makes better, She makes better Italian food than anything Tony
had at his restaurant anyway.

Speaker 5 (31:12):
Yeah, actually we did just have some briga Tony.

Go back to the show, and I hope you guys

Speaker 8 (32:02):
You know.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
But that's some other things that I haven't really gone
as planned. I mean that one is planned. You you know,
Stax's own individual now proving that he is bigger than
just being part of the FA family, bigger than just
being an underboss. You are bringing the best out of him.
You've convinced him that there's more out there for you.
And then you guys are gonna go for those mixed
tag team titles. And it was stolen from you from
Joe Hendry and THEA Hill. You know, you've seen two

(32:25):
great Canadians hold these belts and chelseare ethan Page and
you know, Stax, you got your Canadian going on, you
got a Canadian girl like maybe you guys were inspired
by them and you want to beat them for those belts?
Is that still a goal to go for them?

Speaker 5 (32:37):
All?

Speaker 7 (32:37):
Right?

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Somebody could just say his name and he could pop
in front of us and the you know, I'm not
gonna say it, but I'm just saying it's not fair that,
you know, like his name just gets said and we're
suddenly tender number two.

Speaker 5 (32:49):
Well that's the thing, you know, Channing over here and
I we are killing it on all the live events.
We get the biggest reactions that people us, and some
of them hate us, but I think that they mostly
love us, and you know, having Joe and THEA take
that opportunity was completely unfair because honestly, it should have

(33:10):
been ours and everybody knows it.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
You know, we don't get the attention that we do
for no reason.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
So giving them that opportunity was stupid because if they'd
given it to us, I don't think that Ethan and
Chelsea would be Mixed Tag champions right now.

Speaker 4 (33:25):
I think we would be.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
We would have, yeah, we would have been, uh, you know,
fighting mister Iguana and Lola in Mexico this past weekend.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
But you know, it's fun.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
It's fun.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
You know, we're gonna go to Mexico soon anyway, so
you know, maybe you know, start scouting, recruiting, and uh,
we're learning every day. We're becoming a better tag team together.
You know, we made invented this past weekend with Joe
and I didn't say it all the way and THEA,
you know, and I think we're showing everybody what we

(33:56):
have to offer together.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
And yeah, because you and I.

Speaker 5 (33:59):
We have like this going on.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
You know me, I know you we live together.

Speaker 5 (34:02):
We are in love. These other mixed tags are not
in love. They don't care about each other.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
I take.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
I would take a you would take it, I would.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
How is it? How is it working with other tag
teams that are in love? Because you know we see
on the on the live events you've been working with
Maxine and Luke. Obviously they're also engaged. I honestly, to
be honest with you, it is kind of funny because
for years has always been the whole, you know, the
PC NXT. It's like love Island then, like now the
couples are coming out full front tag team on TV
working with another couple that's in love.

Speaker 5 (34:35):
Like so I will say that, you know, we have
faced them quite a bit, and I gotta give it
to them. The fact that they have that love bond
that we have, you know, sometimes has made them to be.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
But you know, I don't think you know, yeah, I
think I mean to.

Speaker 5 (34:55):
Be fair, Maxine is Intercontinental Champion right now, so like
you know, she's she's put in a lot of work
and like she's been she's been a tough competitor on
some of these live events.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yeah, and you know showtime showtimes. You know he's he's
a good partner too.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
But you know, I think you know best the seventh series,
you know, our love is going to endure.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Longer, you know, I think they're gonna, you know, fizzle out.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
We know each other's favorite colors favorite, you know, blue, yeah, Orange.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
I literally whispered the.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Wow I'm gonna I want to phrase this probably so
it's not the other way, So you're not thinking about
the other way. In the in the world of wrestling,
like the diangel family, what's the chances that, like, maybe
you guys start your own family and the next ti
you guys get your own little crew going on. You
you're now the dawn, you know, like you know in
every great man of the great woman behind her a queen,
and you got Ariana there, So like, what's what's the

(35:53):
opportunity that maybe you guys start recruiting some people to like,
you know, yeah, I know Ariana will ever admit it,
but she will. She sometimes likes to take a good
way to zero. I like to nothing, nothing, nothing, no, no, no,
I didn't say anything. He cut me off, and he says,
there on, that's goat. We're gonna rewind that back later.

(36:16):
That all right, let me ask you this really quickly,
stock to what happened to the hair? Where is it?
Tony threw it in the water, so then that's it.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, and I've been looking for it and I'm waiting
it's gonna wash up.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
You are right now gonna become the longest raining heritage
championing because nobody knows the cups. Oh my god, hey,
you know uh you.

Speaker 5 (36:38):
Know that Bernie Spears song and she's like, I think
the old Lady drafted into the ocean, and I gotta
have a babe at a moment where I'm like, well, babe,
I went down there and got it for you.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
We'll go find I mean, don't find it, because honestly,
I'll become the longest rainy chance.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
I don't want to like give.

Speaker 5 (36:57):
Me you just want to be the longest raining with.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Like eight months from now. In a promo, just be
like I'm still here.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Yeah, I say, at every party I go to, it's
a hackney he does. That's hope to show for it.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
But it's not like you're like just hiding it. So
you don't have to defend or anything like hope. We
haven't just forget. I'm the chap whenever.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
The ocean is a big place, and you know I haven't.
I went out to the ocean a couple of weekends
ago and tried.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
You know, I.

Speaker 5 (37:26):
Recently discovered that the ocean is actually even deeper than
we think.

Speaker 4 (37:30):
It's like another ocean under the ocean. So smart they
literally just discovered this.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
There's an ocean under the ocean.

Speaker 5 (37:37):
Yes, google it.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
That's where my heritage is.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
It's in the ocean under the under the ocean. No
longer are we sending people to swim with the sharks.
Were sending the swim with the sharks in the ocean
the ocean.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
Yeah, dude, that's where we're if we formed a family,
like you say, you want me to like, that's where
we're going.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
To put people.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
We're gonna give them extra deep cement shoes to send
them in that ocean under the ocean.

Speaker 5 (38:00):
Yeah, the answer was zero, because I can trust him
and he can trust me because you know, we sleep
under the same roof.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
But you can't trust anybody. Minano always said.

Speaker 5 (38:10):
Throw people as far no trust people as far as
you can throw them and then throw them.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
I feel like that's what she said to you before
you turned on Tony di'angelo, because then he threw him. Yeah, exactly. Upset,
But let's talk about you for a second, Arianna, how
has this entire being the TNA liaison been for you?
The role that was unexpected? Now you are a big
part of the crossover between TNA and NXT, which is

(38:40):
growing day by day every day, it's it's getting bigger
and bigger this relationship. How do you fall into that
role and how do you feel about it?

Speaker 5 (38:47):
So, honestly, I think it's like a really cool role
to be and just because I grew up, you know,
around wrestling, in the wrestling business, so like you know,
a lot of those people that are at TNA, I've
actually like known for me before ww It's such an
interesting like collection of people even at NXT, like you know,

(39:07):
for example, one of the camera ladies is one of
my closest friends I've known for like a very young age,
and one of the rests I've known for a very
long time. And then like over there, like even the
seamstress at TNA, like I've known for such a long time.
So between these two buildings, I feel like I am
the perfectly because honestly, I get along with everybody.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
Everyone thinks I'm.

Speaker 5 (39:28):
Really nice, everyone really likes me, and I like everybody
too for the most part, unless they bother me so like,
I am the perfect person to connect TNA and NXT
and to make it n XTNA because I know everybody
and they know me, and they're comfortable with me. And
I would have to say that the partnership has been

(39:48):
going so well because of me. Every time I've gone
with NXT talent to TNA events, I make sure they
are comfortable, that they meet people that they feel cared for,
and I just you know, exemplify the professional courtesy that
they need to carry when they meet the TNA wrestlers.
I just set such a good example. There is nobody

(40:10):
better they could have picked this role. And I think
my dad's pretty proud of me too.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
Yeah, I was a little bit of nepotism there, like you.
And also you're really good at getting yourself in great
positions in terms of jobs and opportunities or getting people
to leave their families. I feel like I'm learning something
about you now. I'm very intrigued by.

Speaker 5 (40:32):
You just have to be the best fits.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
Like did you read that book about persuasion? Persuasion and
stuff like you're win.

Speaker 5 (40:38):
Friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
The fact that you know the fact that you know
the whole title.

Speaker 5 (40:45):
Something I don't know that book wild.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
How was it working with your dad? Though? On the
on the flip side, like, how was it reconnecting? Because
that was something that could have happened, would have happened
when we start of seeing the TNA cross over. The
people were like, oh, it actually could happen. Now you
got to you know, tag with him. You got to
be in this corner, like, how is it working with
your dad?

Speaker 5 (41:04):
Now? Awesome, so awesome, so unbelievable. I never thought it
was actually gonna happen this early in my career, so
that was like a surprise blessing. But just like how
I said with Channing here, when I work with him,
work already doesn't feel like work, but it's like a gift.
So the same goes with my dad, like seeing my

(41:24):
dad at work, like it's not work to begin with
because I love my job, but now it's like, oh,
my god, and my dad, who is one of my
best friends, he's here too. This is so much fun,
Like it is so awesome, and I am super proud
of him because he, you know, was out of the
ring for a little while and he crushed it. When

(41:46):
we had our tag match and his singles match with
Robert Stone, and he had a match with Ethan Paige
on NXT two and he just did such an unbelievable job.
He kept up with the NXT page. And I didn't
know if the you know, the old man had it
in him, but he had. He did great. He's also

(42:09):
like a national jiu jitsu world uh. I think he's
like super heavyweight champion right now.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
Like so wow, great, I don't know, He's doing all
kinds of things. I'm very proud of him.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
Is there a tension within the family with all these
NXT invading TNA and TNA invading NFT and you know,
we saw Channing out there with the NXT people invading TNA,
Like obviously he must be kind of like, hey, you're
the liaison, Like, how is your fiance getting in here
attacking my company? I mean, he.

Speaker 4 (42:46):
Wants he loves me, he wants me to be happy.

Speaker 5 (42:49):
He knows that, you know, Channing didn't do anything to
my father. He might be a part of this group,
but like we are from NXT, so I understand that
he feels like that loyalty to n x T.

Speaker 4 (43:04):
I understand. I think my dad kind of gets it, although.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
He doesn't like he got in he got in the
wrong path. You know, he wasn't supposed to be out there.
I didn't want to hurt him. You know, he's like
you said, we were surprised he was able to hold
it together like that.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
And is that what you said?

Speaker 5 (43:21):
That's not what I said.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
I want to see him because your your dad's seen
one of our previous clips that I posted and wasn't
very happy about it, so he might see that.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
Really, I'm doubling down, you know, Uh, to be respectful.

Speaker 3 (43:36):
I'll be respectful. I'll be respectful. Listen.

Speaker 5 (43:38):
We went to Universal.

Speaker 4 (43:40):
Are you gonna Are you going to tell it?

Speaker 5 (43:41):
Well?

Speaker 3 (43:42):
Yeah, I mean, go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 5 (43:43):
We went to the Universal, I believe, I don't know.
It was last week and the weekend before after his uh,
you know, after.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
He got awkward. You know it was it was awkward.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
It was awkward.

Speaker 5 (43:56):
My dad unfortunately his back was sore, like a park
you walk around a lot back of store. His neck
was a little sore, and it was a little tense. Uh,
it was a little awkward between them, but like it
wasn't anything.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
I don't think we can't work past.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Listen, I'm not in TNA to to pick on Cobraman,
all right, Like, that's not what I'm here for.

Speaker 4 (44:20):
Cobraman.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, I gotta like you just
say riled me up a little bit. But you know,
I'm in there to do what we were saying we're
gonna do. Uh And obviously you're just you know, a
bystander in this. But I want to show the world
that I shouldn't have been second place to Tony for
the last three years. You know, I sat behind him,

(44:43):
I was fed scraps. Every opportunity went to him, and
I feel like I suffered for it. And so you know,
now I have a chance, you know, at TNA, yeah,
to take over.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
And your dad, thank you.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
He actually gave me an opportun to fight for the
X division title against Leon Slater.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
And he did that for you and I was in there.
I was in the mix.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
And Leon is a talented dude.

Speaker 7 (45:10):
But.

Speaker 4 (45:11):
Like cheated to be honest, they like, and.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
If the opportunity to roll around again, and it will
because you know, this is you know, my first TNA.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
I think there's going to be.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
Some time here at TNA for me.

Speaker 8 (45:25):
So let's see what happens as long as you know,
you stay respectful and whatever it is that you're trying
to do to show the world what I see in you,
just make sure you know you're being respectful because you know,
family's family.

Speaker 4 (45:41):
That's my real.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
Text that at text next time, you know, let them know.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
I think there's I think there's an art of keeping
work at work and home life at home life and
trying to find the nice separation there.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
But I don't want I don't want Christmas to be
any more weird than it's already going to be the issue.

Speaker 3 (46:00):
Don't don't buy me, don't buy my shirt, saying Cobra
Man definitely right, but it's hard for me to believe that. Like,
you know, Ariana, when you're there at these shows with
with Channing wrestling, whether it's against Leos later or upcoming
against Maclin stuff, but you not to want to get involved,
but you not to want to like help him out.
You know, you're the TNA layers on with that tena

(46:20):
NXT and a liaison. I should say you're supposed to
keep the balance between the two. I don't know how
everyone's getting in under your nose attacking each show but
not trying to stir the pop there. Don't need your
dryer to explode. That being said, how do you stop
yourself from not helping him when these opportunities that he has.

Speaker 5 (46:38):
Well, the thing is, you know, I take my responsibilities
very seriously, and as liaison, it is my duty and
honor to connect NXT and TNA. So as much as
I love him, you know, if this was all in
house at NXT, I mean it.

Speaker 4 (46:56):
Might be a little harder.

Speaker 5 (46:57):
But between NXT and TNA, it's such a delicate partnership
and it's so important for all of the wrestlers. Like
this partnership is unbelievable, it's historic, and you know, I
have to stay unbiased, Like I don't have a choice.
As lison, it's my responsibility and I take that with

(47:18):
complete seriousness. I put a lot of honor on that,
and you know, as hard as it will be, then
I will just have to, you know, stay away, stay
in the back, play game on my phone, and just
trust that he knows what he's doing.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
And I respect your position, you know, I respect how
important she takes this. And our business is separate. Here
at DNA, our business is separate. I want to make
a name for myself, and she wants to keep doing
her duty.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
That she's been doing better than anybody in the world.

Speaker 5 (47:47):
And she better than anyone ever could and better.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Than anyone could.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
And yeah, we can remain separate here, and that's that's
what the plan is.

Speaker 5 (48:00):
All right.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
Well, I'm looking forward to see how things play out.
You know, never say never, anything can happen. I mean,
I trust Arion, obviously we are friends, but you wilso
are I know a pageant queen. That was a very
pageant the answer you gave me there, so I appreciate it. Hey, yo,

ask you guys questions, and you tell me who is
better at it? Who is worse at it? Who's the
one you're trying to the pot But we're in the
two of you, who's the better driver? Because obviously you
guys hit the road formula. Oh you guys both pointed

(50:15):
at yourselves.

Speaker 5 (50:15):
Okay, okay, how many cars suint have you've been in
the past year?

Speaker 2 (50:19):

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Yeah, is it's your Canadian driving is just you know,
you drive so slow anyway.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
You know we do our speed limits here a suck.
It's ridiculous. I spent so much time in the States.
I lived in California for a bit, and I come home,
I'm like, why is everybody so slow? Weird?

Speaker 4 (50:44):
I have proof, so I think I win.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
I have like, actually, I'll bring up proof in these
next to you.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
So everybody thinks this would be obvious, But you know,
you'd be surprised how this could be different Sometimes who
takes the longest to get ready? Yeah, that's the answer.
You'd be surprized.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Pageant queen, I can't compete.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Yeah, I just threw this Jean jack and on into
me like five seconds.

Speaker 5 (51:07):
You long to look good at all because you're.

Speaker 8 (51:09):
So hand.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
Yea even more handsome now that he has more than
a three thousand followers.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
I was in the hole.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
You weren't saying that who has the better taste of music?

Speaker 4 (51:25):
Dude, that you have that, But I'm really sick of all.

Speaker 5 (51:29):
The share in the car.

Speaker 3 (51:30):
No share, I don't out be like dude share.

Speaker 5 (51:34):
There is so much like share and like eighties soul music,
which like there's a time and a place for it.
And it's like when I'm not in the car with you, I'm.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
An officiate, Like I am a music kind of sewer.
I like everything, like I am all art.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
Those are my when you're in.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
The car, Like, because I thought, who is better?

Speaker 3 (51:58):
Who's better at making plans? Who's the plan maker?

Speaker 5 (52:02):
Exactly?

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Uh Yeah, I think like if we're doing a vacation,
I'm gonna leave it to you.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
I think if.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
It's gonna go to me.

Speaker 5 (52:12):
Yeah, I'm a good itinerary creator and long term planner.
He's more of a like, oh, let's go do this
right now.

Speaker 3 (52:19):
So yeah, yeah, I got that. I got that. I'm
the same. I think I'm more sponned, Like I have
a plan, but I can't plan it like step by
step this is what we're gonna do. But we're gonna
do this and we'll see how it goes. Yeah, that's
how I live.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
That's how Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
Like I'm gonna go to them all and we'll see
what happens. I like, I'm gonna go to them all,
go to this store, this store, that store. No, Like
I'm just we'll see what's what happens. Yeah, you guys
are hilarious on social media. You guys do great making
some funny reels and do some stuff. Who's the like
the more creative out of the two of you coming
up with these.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Dang that's it's I really think, like that's what makes
our things so special is like she's got an idea,
I got a thing to fix it or like not
fix it, make it better and reach other stuff all
the time.

Speaker 4 (53:02):
That one's gonna have to be equally.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
Yeah, it's it's very equal.

Speaker 5 (53:07):
Yeah, because he is very creative and he comes up
the ideas and like you said, I'll find tune them
and vice versas. Really are always just bouncing stuff off
of each other, and I think that's the best when
you have like a partner that you guys can help
elevate each other.

Speaker 4 (53:19):
That's what we try to do.

Speaker 3 (53:22):
Who's the better cook, dude? The first food I ever
made her, I'm very sure that I was hoping to
come with stories. So this is great, she she.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
Like, obviously I knew the potato cookies and stuff, so
I was really trying to like, this was my first time.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
I was going to step up to the plate.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
So I found this recipe from Rachel Ray online and
it was chicken and you cut little slots in the chicken.
You put like tomatoes, peppers, onions, and like, it looked amazing.
It looked at it looked amazing on the picture. And
then I brought her what I like and the biggest problem.
What was the biggest problem with my chicken?

Speaker 4 (54:01):
There was no season.

Speaker 3 (54:04):
Yeah, I forgot.

Speaker 5 (54:06):
None.

Speaker 3 (54:07):
It was just real white dried chip.

Speaker 5 (54:09):
It was a chicken breast that he'd cut slits into
he shoved half a tomato and this slit half a
pieces of Chinian this lit and like a red pepper
in this one and then puts like a sprinkle of
mozzarella cheese on it.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
Actual effort, like it was naked.

Speaker 4 (54:27):
It looked like a boiled chicken breast.

Speaker 3 (54:29):
That's like nothing.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
No, no, no, salt. I forgot that that. I don't
think those were in Rachel's and raised in struct.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
I believe in Rachel.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
But that's when I learned that she she's from Toronto,
and she's very ethnically diverse and diverse with her food
and wants her.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
Food cooked with some seasonings.

Speaker 3 (54:55):
Yeah, salt, yeah, I mean you're Italian Fakistani you, I
mean those seasoning and everything and spicing it all. So you know,
you know who's more romantic, who's more thoughtful? Now that
you say that, who gives more gifts? Who does?

Speaker 7 (55:08):
No?

Speaker 3 (55:08):
I mean, I'm sure you both do things for each other,
but who would say is a little bit more romantic.

Speaker 5 (55:14):
I honestly think I'm more romantic.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
No, I think I have so I have grand romantic
and romans like a little romance in between my grand romance.
If I'm gonna do something like I'm planning it for months,
Vegas trip, you know, like the proposal all that. Like
my stuff is long term. She's more like, hey, you know,

(55:44):
I took the crust off your sandwich.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
You know, like little little things all the time, and
you're more like, bang big thing out of nowhere. Yeah
that makes sense. Yeah, who said I love you first? Man?

Speaker 5 (56:00):
My god, this is wrapping up now. No, yes, I mean.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
I feel like, guys, this was very premature, like I
love you.

Speaker 5 (56:19):
It was like, okay, So we did our w W tryout.
It was a long week. You know, it's probably very
emotion emotion. So we're hanging out after the tryout, like
the next day, we're just sitting on the couch and
like we'd also decided like to you know, because we've
kind of started dating before the tryout, and like, you
know what, let's let's focus on ourselves. Let's focus on

(56:41):
getting the best shape ever, like to kill this tryout,
Like let's take a step back a little bit. So
I thought we were both kind of, you know, taking
a little bit of a step back to like pursue
our dreams. So we're done the trout. We're sitting there
all of a sudden.

Speaker 4 (56:54):
He like, looks at me, is big, very.

Speaker 5 (56:58):
Guys, Should I do this thing? Yes?

Speaker 7 (57:00):
Do whatever?

Speaker 5 (57:02):
You Oh my god, it was like I love you.

Speaker 3 (57:10):
Like a scary clown.

Speaker 4 (57:12):
I was like, oh, thank you.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
It was yeah, dude, it was very.

Speaker 5 (57:20):
Nice for you to say that. But I right now,
I don't like I can say that back. Right now.

Speaker 3 (57:27):
I went. I went.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
I literally think, I like walked out the door. I'm like, stupid, stupid, stupid.

Speaker 5 (57:34):
So I'll never forget it. I just remember you staring
at me with your big old green eyes, a little
puppy like.

Speaker 4 (57:43):
It was so cute.

Speaker 3 (57:46):
I feel like that is a very boy thing. Like
we do that. We will jump the gun and see
what happens. Like I'm gonna say it and see what happens.
It was overcoming emotions. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
She probably made me some more of her sweet potatoes.

Speaker 5 (57:58):
I was just happy and it was really cute. It
was really sweet. It was a little early, but you know,
but he meant it. You know, so he meant it
because here we.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
Are, so you got the w in the long game.
So it worked out. That's the way to look at it, right,
And the best of man's heart is through his stomach.
So if you fed him something, that's your fault. I
know you made him love you, you fed him food.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
I did, right, It was her fault.

Speaker 3 (58:27):
It was her fault. That wasn't weird. That's so weird.
It was her fault that I fell in love with her.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
Yeah, if those cookies weren't there, maybe I wouldn't know well.

Speaker 4 (58:37):
And like her third like date was actually Thanksgiving.

Speaker 5 (58:40):
We spent all Thanksgiving together and like I pretty much
did cook like a whole Thanksgiving thing.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
That's when I felt like that was just eating.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
I love this one. I think this is better than
this is better than Rachel recipes.

Speaker 5 (58:58):
Giving this up and having that's our holiday.

Speaker 1 (59:01):
So I introduced her like to her first American Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
I you know, coming.

Speaker 3 (59:07):
Up, watch the football on the Mecy Days Parade and
need some turkey, just the whole Yeah, America, America. Uh,
we'll wrap up this part and I want to talk
about this twitch and we'll wrap it up quickly. But
that being said, just to end this part off chatting
one thing that she's made you, that that being with
her that made you better and then vice versa.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
All right with me?

Speaker 3 (59:32):
First, just a wrestling show anymore.

Speaker 11 (59:35):
Yeah, couples counseling, the count me on the spot, dude.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
Uh, there's days where you know, like, I'm I'm very,
very tough on myself. I want to like I want
to take over the world. You know, I've alway has
been that way. Everything I do, I give it one
hundred percent. I'm hustling all the time. There's just times
where you know, maybe the belief in myself starts wavering

(01:00:11):
a little bit, and She's she's the one to like
kick me in the butt and say, no, you know,
you're not You're you're not gonna You're not gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
Quit like that. You're gonna keep going because I believe
in you too.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
And you know, yeah, it's probably because you know, yeah,
she's the Adrian of my Rocky, you know, and yeah, yeah, And.

Speaker 5 (01:00:35):
I guess I would have to say he's definitely helped
me up my like fashion sense.

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
My god, you're like very is such a genuine, such
a genuine answer my fashion sense.

Speaker 5 (01:00:50):
It's true because when we first like started dating him
in my house one time and he saw my closet
and he was really like, oh my god, you have
no clothes.

Speaker 11 (01:00:58):
But I.

Speaker 5 (01:01:00):
Literally didn't have any clothes. Like I moved from another
country with my tiny little car. I was pursuing wrestling.
I didn't have a lot of money, and like I
didn't really have a lot of clothes, and I remember
being like so like mad and like embarrassed, and I'm like,
oh my god, like I don't have clothes.

Speaker 3 (01:01:20):
Channing, did you did you like grow up with sister
or sisters or I had two sisters. So yeah, but
I'm gonna say I know that you only made that comment.
I'm like that only had to come because he has sisters.
Otherwise I have friends that are guys that don't have sisters,
and they don't understand a lot of things that would
never say. But as a guy that has sisters, he's like, like,

(01:01:40):
you don't you don't have any clothes? Like that makes
sense to me. I'm a sister and I got there's
things that my friends don't get. When I said, I'm like,
but you guys want have sisters, so you don't know
like you learned things, you know, things you understand things
that people covering up. Yeah, he's he's also closetive fashionista.

Speaker 5 (01:01:59):
So now I've feel like I'm up my clothing game,
and now I help him.

Speaker 4 (01:02:03):
It was like awakening.

Speaker 5 (01:02:04):
But I was like, oh, shoot, I should invest a
little more in fashion and clothes and image like he
always had. Like when I first met him, he had
great gear, he had the tan, the haircut. He was
investing in himself properly as a wrestler. And I was
like very frugal and afraid to spend money and invest
in myself, you know. But now I realize like the
value in that. So that's something he's really helped me.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
Here's the thing about her, too real quick, is that
she like she likes to wear like she's her fashion,
like when she's just going like out to like Walmart,
Like you just you have your own little fashion sense,
you know. You like like floral shirts and like you know,
like you had a cute just a different fashion sense,
you know. And it's like I like it. I like
it because it's like everybody. All these girls dress the

(01:02:48):
same these days.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
You know what some have the girls, the pretty girls
were like a hoodie swat pounds and I'm like, like
that you can rock that and you still look good
as fuck.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
That's where I was like, Yeah, your closet may be empty,
but you what you do where you you look great
into all of it, Like.

Speaker 3 (01:03:08):
If you can pull it all off, then it doesn't
even matter what you were. But once again having sisters,
your sister will be the first person that will if
you're wearing something, come out there be like what the
fuck are you wearing? So like like they'll call you
out on your bullshit. So then you just you start
seeing it, you start noticing you have to worry about
it a little bit. Let's talk about Twitch. You guys
built the Twitch media. There's been some funny moments on there,
things following all this type of stuff. How how things

(01:03:33):
going on Twitch? I see you guys still go live nowadays.
How's the community? Why do you guys feel like Twitch
was important? And how are you guys having fun with it?
Let's dude it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
Well, first of all, that thing that fell on or
that I'll take ownership on that, I was supposed to
attach that to the wall.

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
And I didn't, and I just thought, but it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
Made for one of our most viral moments from our Twitch. Yeah,
it was like it looked like a cartoon. It looked
like it was planned, but it was not planned.

Speaker 5 (01:03:59):
It was perfect. We were twitch streaming like for a
good amount of time. We got a little bit of burnout,
like you're kind of going crazy social media and Twitch
and then we're brown out. And then so we took
like a couple of months off Twitch and then we
just recently had to like get back on there because
we love it and it's fun and it engages with
the fans. So we've kind of revamped what we're doing,

(01:04:23):
created this this studio. We have like a garage gym
studio setup. You haven't streamed in the kitchen, yup. The
kitchen is a great setup as well. So we've just
kind of revamped how we're doing things, how we're interacting.
We brought on more guests, so we recently had Luca Cruino,
we had Nikita Lyons.

Speaker 2 (01:04:42):
I was a little counseling right there.

Speaker 5 (01:04:45):
And then we recently had a friend and photographer, Chuck Asious.
He works a lot with a lot of different wrestlers,
so that was cool.

Speaker 4 (01:04:53):
We just live streamed a.

Speaker 5 (01:04:54):
Photo shoot the other day, which is kind of a
cool way for fans to see, like, you know, you
see us post content, but what is making that content
look like?

Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
So we're trying to branch out and keep it interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
I definitely think we were finding our flow with it,
and we feel like this is our brand, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
We you know, we're in We're in.

Speaker 1 (01:05:12):
TNA, n X, t all this stuff, but like this
is we We were trying to like make Twitch our thing.

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
Like and we we have the hotline where fans can
call in, and so I didn't know that that's cool.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
Yeah, so we have fans call in and it gets wild,
you know, like I gotta have the mute button ready,
you know. But it's like unique because like, yeah, like
everybody wants to like, you know, we had Nikita, like Nikita,
everybody wanted to call in, and then we got the
gym stuff too. But uh yeah, I think it's uh

(01:05:43):
we enjoy it because, hey, it gets us on here
We're catting promos on these fans and.

Speaker 3 (01:05:52):
It's got some.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
Wild interactions and it's it's just so fun, you.

Speaker 5 (01:05:55):
Know, like you never know what you're gonna get, and
I think that's the fun part.

Speaker 3 (01:05:59):
Yeah, And I think you guys do it really well.
But let's you guys show a lot of different sides
of your personality outside of just wrestling, whether it's cooking,
whether it's gaming, whether it's just like interacting with people
because sometimes people don't get to see that side of
the wrestlers. You know, they just see what to see
on TV and not the whole thing. And you know,
this is a great way. You know, people pay a
bazillion dollars for meeting greets, like this is the way

(01:06:21):
you can interact. I'm still helping you guys out, but
it's fun.

Speaker 1 (01:06:24):
You know, people the curtain back, they get to see everything,
you know, like they see all all of our real
interactions and stuff like we don't.

Speaker 2 (01:06:34):
That's what makes it cool.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
It's like they know there's gonna be a little bit
of bickering, but that's you know, like we love each other.

Speaker 5 (01:06:41):
Thing I like about it is like the reason why
wrestler wrestle is fans do it for the fans, and
so to be able to give that type of experience
in that interaction, that one on one personal interaction with
the fans, it's rewarding for us. Like selfishly, it makes
me feel really good. I feel like I'm able to
provide that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
And so yeah, there's some real like as much as
there's stupid calls that come in and people trying to
hackle us and do stupid things that fire ourself. There's
also like we have some like consistent people who are
like telling us real life stuff, like you know, uh
deep things like graduating, family illnesses and stuff, and it's like,
you know, we we should, you know, we'd like give

(01:07:19):
them feedback and and it's all real, so you know,
it's cool.

Speaker 3 (01:07:24):
It's the best thing about building our community is having
those relationships and realize like, oh, like what you're doing,
as much as it's fun for you, is still Like
I have to explain this to my friend when I
was trying to get into co host the podcast, and
he's like, who's gonna listen to it? I'm like, but bro,
I'm like, there's a lot of people in there that
just want to watter resting with you. I just want
to hang out with you and that like you know,
and you get to be that person that makes the
people little bit less lonely or feel like they have

(01:07:46):
something going on to Its a good thing and it's cool.
It's cool. Uh. What what are some twenty twenty six plans?
What are you guys looking forward to get done in
the next year? Because this hee was wrapping up by
the time I released this we'll be in December, the
first week of December, So like, what what what are
the what have we got planned for twenty twenty six
for this world domination?

Speaker 2 (01:08:05):
World dominations?

Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Yeah, I think I think we're gold.

Speaker 5 (01:08:13):
I want some goal.

Speaker 2 (01:08:14):
She wants some gold. Yeah, yeah, it could be triple a.

Speaker 4 (01:08:17):
I want gold for you and I want gold for me,
and then maybe there's.

Speaker 5 (01:08:21):
Some more stuff that's gold in general.

Speaker 4 (01:08:23):
Maybe.

Speaker 2 (01:08:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
I did to know I'll be start saving, so one
of my goals is going to be saving this year
and then say yea too.

Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
So by her gold? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's my dude.

Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
I honestly think like whatever, we we feel like this
we felt like this year was like our year, and
like we've had some good opportunities and stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
But I really feel.

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
Like, you know, we have what we have lined up
and what what what we're going into and everything, Like
I honestly think we are going to have a big
year and we'll get to showcase our dynamic, will get
to showcase you know everything, you know, everything we've been
working on for all these years, you know, been at
the PC since twenty twenty two March, and so you know,

(01:09:15):
I feel like both of us have found our flow
now and like you know.

Speaker 4 (01:09:20):
It's time to take it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
Time to take it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):
Arianna, I've asked you before, so I'm not going to
ask you the younger self question, but I do want
to ask you so far, what is your favorite moment
in your career in the thus far? Like what is
either a favorite match, what's something that you actually like,
I'm really glad thus far?

Speaker 5 (01:09:39):
Yeah you, yes, you, Okay, I would say right now, like,
damn two have I've had to really two?

Speaker 3 (01:09:49):
Yeah? Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:09:50):
So I think like two of my biggest moments that
I'd always dreamed of in my career came pretty early on.
So the first was performing at heat Wave Scotia Bank Arena.

Speaker 4 (01:10:01):
I was tagging with Carmen.

Speaker 5 (01:10:03):
I would say, to perform in Scotia Bank Arena was
absolutely insane because like being from Toronto, like that's our
big arena and like being in the center of it
was just surreal. That was my whole family was there.
Like wow, I remember that feeling, and I was like, okay, yep,

(01:10:23):
this feeling is why we train as hard as we
do every single day at the PC, Like this is
this is the reward, this is what I want to
get to this is going to be a main roster,
is like, and this is where I'm going to get.

Speaker 3 (01:10:33):
Everybody wants to go back to the hometown, you know,
performing the arena that they went to to go watch
your basketball concerts or whatever it is.

Speaker 5 (01:10:43):
And that was my first pl too, So that was
like it was already like that was that was fast.
And then second was tagging with my dad in Brampton
Againstia Crawford and Robert Stone. But like growing up like Toronto, Mississauga,
like Brampton's right there, I grew up around there.

Speaker 4 (01:11:05):
Again, my whole family was there.

Speaker 5 (01:11:06):
My my dad's parents, my nana, no, no, my no, no,
he's he's sick right now.

Speaker 4 (01:11:12):
Well he has Parkinson, So we.

Speaker 5 (01:11:14):
Were really worried that maybe he like wouldn't be able
to come.

Speaker 4 (01:11:18):
But he made it down, which is amazing. Like my
nana no, no, I think a supported me so much
while I was pursuing.

Speaker 5 (01:11:26):
Wrestling, So to be able to have them there to
see me wrestle and my dad wrestle and they supported
him so much, like it was just like so cool.

Speaker 4 (01:11:36):
It was so rewarding.

Speaker 5 (01:11:38):
Again, whole family were there, like siblings, my stepdad was there,
my grandmother is there, my Zia, her kids, like and
again like my sister Isabella Marco Milan, like everybody.

Speaker 4 (01:11:52):
It was just perfect.

Speaker 5 (01:11:53):
It was.

Speaker 4 (01:11:55):
And then being in there with my dad, like I
never thought it would happen this soon.

Speaker 3 (01:11:58):
But like you could say, like keeping with your dad.
But like all the little aspects that you just put
that that I didn't even think about, Like it was
also in Ontario, is also you found like that is
actually I didn't even think about that. And have you
been to Brampton Channing because it's like brown Town over there.
You want some good.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
Indian food, already get some like Indians or no, that's
that's that's where you'd go.

Speaker 3 (01:12:21):
I don't think we got.

Speaker 5 (01:12:22):
But there is a really good place in Brampton that
shout out.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
You got to go to Brampton if you want the
good Indian all right, all right, take me next time.

Speaker 1 (01:12:30):
Take me to.

Speaker 5 (01:12:32):
Handle this.

Speaker 4 (01:12:36):
Place I was talking about. They have a butter chicken.
Oh yeah, unreal.

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
That sounds that sounds really way better than a w
or in stackspoint. A WS gas station poutine was so bad.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
I acted like I loved it because it was special
to you but now.

Speaker 3 (01:12:59):
Those places are the best though, like they I would
say this anw poutine even like whatever McDonald's poutine. Some
thing are really are really good on those nights. If
you go out drinking and it's the end of the night,
or if you hungover like you guys like Taco Bell, yeah,
it's like the best stuff. Then you're just like, oh, like,
I love this stuff when I'm either hungover eating greasy

(01:13:19):
food or if I don't drink that muchymore, if it's
a night drinking, then it hits better. But there is
better poutine places, So to her credit, there is a
little bit of love for it because of that reason.

Speaker 5 (01:13:27):
But thank you, thank you all right.

Speaker 3 (01:13:31):
Uh for you chanting Stacks. If you could show your
younger self, the kid that was watching, you know, Eddie
Gurroll celebrate with the championship in two thousand and four,
if you could throw your younger self one of your matches,
what would you show them?

Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
Gosh, that's crazy. I think it's pretty easy.

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
Gosh, make sure.

Speaker 2 (01:13:54):
I want to make sure.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
I don't know, because like, winning winning titles is is
a huge thing.

Speaker 3 (01:14:01):
You know, obviously I've been lucky.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
To win, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
The tag titles twice and both of those were special
and then the Heritage Cup. But do that that like
tony moment like to have like such like an epic
like like bad guy like yeah, low blow like moment,
like dude, little me like would have been like, God,

(01:14:24):
that's that guy, I want to be up.

Speaker 3 (01:14:27):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:14:27):
Yeah, that was me with you know, like edge, you know,
like that's the guy.

Speaker 3 (01:14:31):
Yeah you know he was.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
He's an asshole.

Speaker 1 (01:14:34):
Yeah, and I'm I'm you know, and that moment, I'm like, gosh, dude,
I felt like a rock star out there.

Speaker 5 (01:14:40):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:14:40):
I just I loved that feeling. And I feel like
little me would have been felt that too.

Speaker 3 (01:14:48):
And yeah, so that that that comes to my final question.
I asked everybody this at the end, which I which
I've known I've asked before, maybe not the last time
because the dryer exploded, but definitely the time. But uh,
do you feel like you made your younger self proud? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
Dude, my younger self would have never thought that I
would have ended up getting to the w W Like,
you know, I loved it growing up, but you know,
never thought like yeah, one hundred I think, yeah, I
knew I would have an action figure and being a
video game and engaged and to the hottest girl and tune.

(01:15:29):
I was going there, do.

Speaker 3 (01:15:30):
You know what, there's a part of me too, like
I like, I gave you this opening, make sure you don't.
It's like it's like an let's take It's like an
acceptance speech where you can't forget to thank your.

Speaker 9 (01:15:39):
Wife there, but it's you build it.

Speaker 3 (01:15:46):
It's like one finally.

Speaker 9 (01:15:48):
He's like the action figure of the video game and
then the most beautiful.

Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
You didn't even let him finish this promo.

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
Right, let's rewind, let's do it over. It's too like, right, well,
thank that later. Yeah, dude, I think, yeah, I would
had such a beautiful girl too.

Speaker 5 (01:16:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
I mean, now that we're here and I know you
know you do you feel like you've made your younger so.

Speaker 4 (01:16:19):
Proud one hundred percent.

Speaker 5 (01:16:22):
But also younger me.

Speaker 4 (01:16:25):
Is very ambitious.

Speaker 3 (01:16:27):
Somewhere else I thought.

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
You're gonna be like younger you would have wanted something better.

Speaker 3 (01:16:36):
I thought you were building. I love you, younger me,
have you thank you?

Speaker 5 (01:16:42):
Younger me was also very ambitious. So yes, I'm proud
of myself, But like I want there's mountains. I want
to climb that.

Speaker 4 (01:16:50):
Like younger me if she saw me now, she'd be like,
oh my god, that's awesome.

Speaker 5 (01:16:54):
But like, are you still gonna do all that other
stuff that I wanted to do? So I feel like
younger me is still there like pushing me and like
egging me on in my own head to like keep
on going because we need gold, gold and some gold.

Speaker 3 (01:17:06):
You know, do you still I remember in our first
interview in twenty twenty, you told me about writing everything
down in a notebook and listing everything and that was
the way of manifesting. Do we still write everything down?
Do we still have a ton of goals out there?

Speaker 5 (01:17:19):
I mean, I've definitely been slacking on the manifesting, but
I do when I get a new agenda, I will
go to certain dates in the agenda, So I guess
I kind of do, and I'll like write goals that
will happen on a certain day. And then like I
also just like in my head like I've already like
there's things that I want for myself that have already
accepted are going to happen.

Speaker 4 (01:17:40):
So it's like I just kind of believe I'm like
going where I.

Speaker 5 (01:17:43):
Want to be because like I remember training every morning
and like visualizing the performance center and walking in the
performance center now, like every time I walk into the
pformance Center.

Speaker 4 (01:17:52):
I'm like, I imagine this every morning for years, and
here we are.

Speaker 5 (01:17:55):
So it's like the things that I'm going through in
my head all the time, the things I'm envisioning, like,
it's the same as before, so I know that they're coming.

Speaker 3 (01:18:03):
That's awesome. Well, thank you, guys. This was fun. I
hope you guys enjoyed it. I appreciate the conversation it was.
It was a good time, and I'm looking forward to
see what happens next, looking forward to see you Channing
and what happens with you on these TNA and how
you try to, you know, take some gold from some
of these people.

Speaker 1 (01:18:20):
Maybe another final resolution December fifth, I'm fighting Steve Macklin
for the international title. I'm still a Heritage Cup champion.
Like you said, so, I'm the.

Speaker 3 (01:18:32):
Longest raining right now. You're gonna be forever.

Speaker 7 (01:18:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:35):

Speaker 3 (01:18:37):
Title. Once you find in the ocean, under the ocean,
google it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:43):
It's kind of submarine. Are you gonna need to get
down there?

Speaker 3 (01:18:46):
Dude? And miss Ariana Grace. We've made it through a
full episode. You're still here. There's no technical difficulties, I think.
I'm no, no, no, you don't hear anything. You have
the handyman. Now he wasn't home. That that's what happened.

Speaker 7 (01:19:02):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:19:03):
Uh, you know you you've been killing You've been doing everything,
whether it's TNA or NXT. Obviously you've got this persuasion
thing down. You got yourself a gig being the XT
TNA laison. You got Stacks to leave his family. That
sounds way worse than.

Speaker 7 (01:19:18):
It really is.

Speaker 2 (01:19:23):
You know, that's a sound bite right there.

Speaker 3 (01:19:25):
What kind of what kind of plans do you have
for twenty twenty six because whatever you seem to a
plan seems to work out for you.

Speaker 5 (01:19:34):

see and waiting.
