DAYS LIKE THESE - NWA Ten Pounds of Gold - Episode Ten

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUxxxwvuQIo

Published on Dec 18, 2017

With WWE Clash of the Champions leaning on the history of the NWA (National Wrestling Alliance) in 2017, the story of NWA Ten Pounds of Gold continues on with reigning NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Tim Storm.

With Tim Storm accepting the invitation of Combat Zone Wrestling to appear at CZW's Cage of Death, the pressure mounted for the 53-Year-Old School teacher and so did the injuries. An injury to the NWA Champion by Jocephus, left him with two cracked ribs.

Tim Storm had promised to look the CZW Locker Room in the eye and see who wanted to make history. Men like Matt Tremont, Ethan Page, and MJF all walked to the ring and laid their claim to the Ten Pounds of Gold. But it was the return of a legend - The Universal Heartthrob Austin Idol that shocked the wrestling world.

Austin Idol called out Tim Storm on his promise of "Anywhere, Anytime' to The Universal Heartthrobs new client - Nick Aldis. The shocking turn of events at CZW's Cage of Death play out in Episode Ten of NWA Ten Pounds of Gold.

Chris Jericho Reveals Why He Recently Called Impact Wrestling

Scott D'Amore and NJPW color commentator Don Callis recently joined Impact Wrestling as Executive Vice President and will report to President Ed Nordholm. Callis and D'Amore recently joined the Talk Is Jericho podcast to discuss their hiring, the future of the company and more.

Jericho revealed that he personally called Impact to recommend they hire Callis. He said he believed Impact needed a fresh start with people at the helm who hadn't previously led the company. Jericho said hiring Billy Corgan would've been an upgrade over Dixie Carter, but it wouldn't have presented a new direction for the fans to be excited about, so he suggested Callis and D'Amore.

"My thought process was, and this is not a slight on anyone that has ran that company or been part of that company, working with that company, that has been around for so long, through so many incarnations and through all its ups and downs, and now I found with the last incarnation with TNA/Global Force is that it was a dead company. There was nothing exciting about it or sparking it, so to me, the only way to get it rolling would be to completely change directions and go with somebody new and different," Jericho said.

 "When Billy Corgan was up for it I would have much rather him run it over Dixie Carter because it was somebody new, and I just really felt that it was my place to call the guys and say, listen, if you guys really want to lose money go for it, or use it as a tax write off then you have the right place. But if you really want to do something and role with it and be at a place where people are excited about then you have to go in this direction, and these guys [Callis and D'Amore] are the guys to do it with. So that was basically the jist of the conversation and it worked because here you guys are, but this is really the only way the company to grow is by doing something completely different and new."

With so many superstars in WWE succeeding after working for Impact, D'Amore also discussed the need for Impact to build up new homegrown talent. AJ Styles, Bobby Roode and Samoa Joe are all prominent superstars in WWE after breaking into the mainstream with Impact Wrestling. D'Amore stressed the need for established talent to join Impact to help develop up-and-coming superstars. He suggested that Sting and Christian, both of whom wrestled with Impact, will be joining the company to help build up the homegrown talent.


"I think that there has got to be a combination. Things are done best when there is a combination of established stars working with guys that we are developing. AJ Styles is a homegrown talent here. Although he had a 'cup of coffee' in WCW, AJ Styles brand was built in Impact Wrestling. Just like Samoa Joe had a tremendous following, and when I took over the creative team in 2005, the first two phone calls that were made was to Samoa Joe and CM Punk. I got one but didn't get the other, but they both proved to be huge stars," D'Amore said. "When Joe came in here, he had a good following, a niche following, and we put him out there and put him in front of millions of people on TV and everything at the time and refine himself as a worker, so I consider Samoa Joe a 'homegrown talent.' Then you think about guys like Bobby Roode, and Eric Young, and these type of guys. They were guys that were plucked out of Border City Wrestling on the independents and then were given this thing where we worked with them, so we think it's great to see guys on SmackDown and NXT where guys that we worked with from day one are out there today.

"So having 'homegrown' talent is what is going to grow this company, but in addition to it, it's finding the right veterans," he continued. "It's Sting coming on board with us; it's Christian, who even though is still factored in to WWE, is going to walk away and come to us and bring an aura and credibility to him where we can use his talent and notoriety to help build our homegrown guys. So I think it needs to be a mix of established talent to be used to develop our homegrown talent."

Former Impact Star On Why They Left Impact Wrestling

Tyrus (also known as Brodus Clay/The Funkasaurus in WWE) spoke with Arm Drag Takedown with Pollo Del Mar on a number of pro wrestling topics. Here are some of the highlights via the Huffington Post:

 

Impact not wanting Tyrus to work for Jeff Jarrett when GFW was still a separate company:
"They didn't want me working for Jeff. Basically, it came down to either stay with Impact or I could go with Global. I was making more with Impact, and Global didn't have the resources to pay me what I was making."
Jarrett attempting to get Tyrus to come to GFW and then Jarrett showing up at Impact's tapings:
"He was basically saying it was better for me to come to Global, because Impact was about to fold. He was very adamant about that. Two weeks later, at the TV tapings, guess whose ass is there working the shows? Jeff Jarrett. I was like, 'B----, [are] you crazy?' Who does that? Check it: If I would have quit and taken money out of my family's mouths, went and worked there and then, 'Oh, we're going to have to go work Impact…' How would that have gone?"

Once Jarrett began working with Impact, Tyrus knew he had to leave:
"When Jeff Jarrett came along — because him and I have an uncomfortable history — I just wasn't comfortable with the management. ... Unless [Jarrett] and I were going to have a sit down - which just wasn't going to happen - I knew this was not going to be a spot for me. I just wasn't comfortable with it."

Above, Justin Credible made a video apologizing for his actions at a Blitzkrieg! Pro wrestling event. On Friday in Enfield, CT, Credible showed up to the event to do a pre-show signing and in-ring promo, but ended up getting drunk before the event. He got into the ring during the show, despite the promotion asking him not to and was eventually ushered away from ringside by the other wrestlers. In the video above, Credible said he's already talked with Diamond Dallas Page and looks to go on a journey to redeem himself with Page's help. Credible went on to thank a number of others who have helped him, including Sean Waltman and the WWE.

Then maybe they should've done something to keep him, DUH! Backstage News On Impact Wrestling Being Upset With Former Star Signing With WWE

As noted, former Impact Wrestling X Division Champion & British Boot Camp winner Rockstar Spud (James Michael Curtin) is scheduled to debut with WWE at next week's RAW in Providence, RI and 205 Live in Newark, NJ. In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer revealed that officials at Impact weren't happy with Spud's signing.

 

Spud is expected to immediately start in WWE's cruiserweight division. After he signed a contract with the WWE in October, the company was waiting on his working visa to come through so he can get started. Meltzer wrote that some people at Impact were upset because they had spent a significant amount of money to assist Spud with getting his visa taken care of before he quit to accept the WWE offer.

Spud had previously worked for Impact since 2012, when he beat Marty Scurll to win the British Boot Camp reality show to earn a contract. Impact spent nearly $20,000 in legal fees straighten out any issues with the immigration offices in the U.K. so Spud can return to the U.S. Two weeks after he returned to the country, he asked for his release from Impact and was granted it in September.

Spud is expected to be getting a prominent spot on 205 Live alongside the imminently debuting Hideo Itami and current cruiserweight champion Enzo Amore. With the impending non-televised live events for the cruiserweights, Spud will be a welcome addition to division.

If this doesn't tell you their booking sucks ass nothing will. IMPACT WRESTLING DOES IT'S WORST NUMBER YET ON POP TV

The 12/14 edition of Impact did 161,000 overnight viewers, well down from last week's 226,000 overnight viewers.  That was the lowest number that they have done on POP TV, other than the two specials at the end of 2015 that weren't promoted and were shown basically at the last minute.  They did go up against Tribute To The Troops on USA.

The show did 255,000 overnight viewers on 12/7.  They are definitely trending in the wrong direction and obviously this new booking isn't a success. But of course they won't dare to admit that, eh?

Drunken Justin Incredible incident last night (so much for Praising WWE's Wellness Program)

There was an unfortunate incident with former WWE and ECW star Justin Credible last night at a Blitzkrieg Wrestling event in Enfield, CT.

According to sources at the promotion, Credible was booked to do a pre-show signing appearance and an in-ring promo but arrived in a condition described as "unable to perform" and was yanked from the show.  Credible, after being informed he was off the show, still hit the ring and took the ring mic, cut a slurring, expletive-filled promo before he was removed from the ring by a good portion of the locker room.

Video of the incident has been making the rounds online today.  In the video, Credible walked around the ring stating that he loves "this business" and that he wasn't hijacking the show and was leaving of his own volition.  An unidentified person connected to the company then yelled at Credible that he was "drunk and disturbing the show" and a "disgrace" and "tells people that you're sober but you're not."  Credible started to respond, muttering on the mic but was continously told to leave.

After Credible was finally removed from the ring, it took a long time to get Credible to leave the venue and into his ride home.

Just last month, Credible publicly praised the WWE Wellness Policy for helping him turn his life around, writing on his Twitter account: "When I retired from pro wrestling I honestly didn’t think I would miss it all that much. The last year of my life has been full of ups and downs. Most of them public. My struggles with addiction have been well documented. I’m pleased to say that TODAY i’m clean and sober.  Through the amazing help of the @WWE wellness program I am able to live a life I never thought possible with gratitude love and compassion. I also want to say that when I retired October 16 2015 I was not the person that you remember as Justin Credible.What I’m basically trying to say is 2018 is going to be the year that I redeem myself. Not only in the eyes of the fans but of my peers. I gave this business everything and in return I got lost along the way as so many do. This is in some gimmick to try to get bookings."

One person who was at the show described the incident as "the saddest thing" they had ever seen and noted they were concerned for Credible's well being.  I can say that after watching the video, so am I.

Interview Highlights: Bruce Prichard talks about how era wrestler grew up can determine their inspiration, management issues in TNA, what Morton did well

The following are highlights of Ricky Morton’s interview with Bruce Prichard on “The School of Morton” podcast during which he discusses memories of working for Vince McMahon in WWE, what he inherited when he walked into TNA, and his thoughts on what talent should be doing today. These highlights were supplied to PWTorch.com by the podcast producers…
•On talent and personalities in wrestling: “When talent/guys look at coming into the business, who did they grow up on, who did they idolize, who did they want to be like? You know you had your Hogan Era where guys came out and they wanted to be like Hulk Hogan. You had your Warrior Era where guys wanted to be like the Ultimate Warrior. Then as time progressed you had Bret [Hart] who kind of broke that mold and now people wanted to be like Bret. So you look at who the top guy is and who the successful guy is. People wanted to be Ric Flair. The issue is that when you have such a strong personality Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, The Ultimate Warrior, Bret – all of these guys that were top guys. Instead of trying to emulate them and be them… do something different. Find something different so that the next generation wants to be whatever the hell you are. Not just a copy of something else.”
•On working for TNA and what he inherited in talent relations: “What I found was… kind of it was a bit of a mess to say the least. And fortunately no matter who they put in to that role or into that situation nothing was ever going to change unless something at the top changed. What I mean by that is not just Dixie [Carter], but her mom and dad and being able to allow people to… you know they had some qualified people that were in positions that they could have done something, but they were second guessed by people that had built power plants for a living.”
•On watching Ricky Morton and what talent should do: “He is selling. When it’s time for him to go, he goes. But up until that point he brings the audience into the arena and into the ring with him and so they’re helping him every single piece of his comeback is with the audience. The audience is throwing every punch, and every kick, and every arm drag, and every dropkick… and you feel it. That’s the difference. When guys say, ‘Well, hey man, what do I do?’ I was thinking – I said, first problem. Don’t think. Feel! Stop thinking about what you’re going to do. Just go out there and feel it and what do you feel you should do.”

Scott Hall Reportedly Starts Incident With WWE Legend At Fan Convention

WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall was involved in an incident with WWE Legend King Kong Bundy back in late November in Staten Island, New York.

 

The incident happened at a fan convention but it was discussed by Brutus "Ed Leslie" Beefcake and former WWE announcer Sean Mooney on Mooney's "Prime Time" podcast on MLW Radio, which you can find at this link. Apparently Hall had shown up late for the event after disappearing earlier. The latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that Hall was "messed up" and started yelling at Bundy, who got tired of the verbal abuse and went after Hall.

Beefcake commented that Bundy went after Hall and ended up getting his hands around Hall's neck.

"He was in a vodka rage and started messing with the wrong guy, King Kong Bundy, and things went bad for him," Beefcake said.

WWE CANCELS RETURN TO EDMONTON AFTER BOXING DEATH LEADS TO BAN ON ALL COMBAT SPORTS

A scheduled World Wrestling Entertainment debut at the brand new Rogers Place arena in Edmonton, Alberta Canada on 2/9/18 was canceled after new regulations banning all forms of combat sports were enacted by the city's council following the June death of a boxer following an Edmonton fight.

The Rogers Place website announced the cancellation with the following announcement "Following new guidelines established by Edmonton’s city council, WWE’s event on Friday, February 9 at Rogers Place has been postponed. The WWE is working closely with the local Commission, and hope to return with their sports entertainment events to Edmonton in the near future."

The Edmonton city council announced on 12/8 that they were placing a one year moratorium on new permits or licenses for anything that fell under the umbrella of combat sports, which for some reason, has included WWE, despite the fact that the company's product is anything but an actual, legitimate combat sports competition.   The moratorium is scheduled to stand until December 2018.

The moratorium was enacted after the June death of boxer Tim Hauge following a fight card held in the city.  There has been criticism of the city council for enacting the ban after UFC held an event in September, with critics believing they waited until after that event instead of just immediately issuing the ban.

The ban is up to 1 year. Council is awaiting a report into the death of boxer Tim Hague which is being released today   Following its release and the recommendations in it, Edmonton council could lift the ban at any time in the new year.

EVA MARIE DEFENDS PROFESIONAL WRESTLING

WATCH TODAY’S EPISODE OF COMPLEX’S ‘OUT OF BOUNDS’



Credit: Complex News



WATCH NOW

On today's episode of Complex’s “Out of Bounds,” actress and former WWE star Natalie Eva Marie returns to discuss her love for Bay Area sports, her transition from WWE to Hollywood, how it feels to be the "bad guy" in wrestling and why she thinks the NBA will not reach NFL's popularity any time soon. She also changes perspectives after confronting Mia Khalifa about her comment about wrestling not being a real sport.

“Out of Bounds” features former NBA star Gilbert Arenas, Internet personality Mia Khalifa, Complex News host Pierce Simpson and Complex Sports editor Adam Caparell. New episodes air on Complex News’ YouTube channel Monday through Thursday at 2 p.m. ET. Tweet the show @OutofBounds.

NOTABLE QUOTES:

On Brock Lesnar rumored to join Creed II (8:38): 

“He’s a bad guy, he’s a beast, he literally will kill you in the octagon or take you to Suplex City in the ring. I think he’d be a fantastic addition to Creed II because he plays a heel so naturally.” — Natalie Eva Marie

On the difference between training for acting and wrestling (11:31): 

“You have to put your body through a lot of physicality with wrestling. You’re saying you think it’s fake, however when you get in the ring, you’re really taking those bumps…Then when it comes to acting, you’re trying to get out of yourself and be a whole other person, which also helps with WWE, too, because you’re playing a character at the end of the day.” — Natalie Eva Marie

On challenging Mia Khalifa’s claims that wrestling isn’t a real sport (12:13):

“Some moves are [choreographed], so like you’ll go over your finish, whoever’s gonna win or lose because that’s predetermined. However, when you’re in there, usually you’re just going toe-to-toe. So like, if I have you in a headlock, then I’m telling you right then and there what we’re doing next.” — Natalie Eva Marie

“You have your producers in the back, adjusting to the crowd. ‘Hey, uh, actually we’re gonna go this way. Change the finish, change whatever you have going on.’ So you can’t really choreograph the dance because everything gets mixed up.”  — Natalie Eva Marie

On comparing sports (14:44):

“NFL, NBA, they all have off-seasons. Wrestling doesn’t have an off-season. We’re on the road 209 days out of the year, performing in different cities every single night. Where you have your NBA, and NFL and major league and they’re taking charter flights going to the next city. We’re driving in rent-a-cars to the next city.” — Natalie Eva Marie

SEAN WALTMAN DISCUSSES OMEGA VS. JERICHO, KONNAN TALKS LUCHA ON

SEAN ‘X-PAC’ WALTMAN TALKS ABOUT THE OMEGA AND JERICHO MATCH COMING UP

X-PAC 12360

Pro Wrestler and LAX manager, Konnan is the special guest on X-Pac12360 and talks about how diverse Lucha is now.

Get it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/IoiqsB1MWE4 or download the podcast version on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/x-pac-1-2-360-afterbuzz-tv/id1150124693?mt=2&i=374822005, with highlights below:

Konnan Talks About Locker Room Life and the Difference Between the Women and Men: This is a true story, I am not a misogynist or anything like that, but if you have 50 guys in a dressing room and 5 girls, those 5 girls are a way bigger headache than those 50 guys.  You have no idea what we have to work with. It just very difficult,  because there is a lot jealousy between women, you don't see between guys. Add to that, that now a lot of those guys are dating the girls and if there is a problem they take it to the dressing room, or maybe one guy was messing with your girl and now you got the two wrestlers and the girl. So many things pop-off in the locker room.

Konnan Talks About Lucha Underground’s Low Offer to the Young Bucks :The reason I went to PWG the first time was because I took Dorian Roldan from AAA and Chris Joseph , who was the writer for Lucha Underground, cause originally I was suppose to write the show with Chris. And so, I was like, ‘ Bro, you need to go to PWG and I am going to show you some guys you're going to love.’ So you know I recommended  Kevin Steen, The Young Bucks, Ricochet, Brian Cage, Willie Mack. They were like ‘Oh, the Young Bucks, they should get new gear…’ I'm like ‘No, they're making fun of it, that's the gimmick.’ I convinced the Young Bucks to call Lucha Underground because I could get them a contract and I was going to put them in a trio with John Morrison cause they're all from LA. And bro, they offered them $200 each. They [Young Bucks] were pissed, he wrote back, ‘Yeah now for them, for us to go there, they're going to have to pay us $1,500 each, non negotiable.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, exactly.’

Sean “X-Pac” Waltman on the press helping build Omega and Jericho in NJPW: One of the things that I like about Japanese wrestling is the way they have their press conferences and the media involved. And how they treat it like a legitimate press conference because it is… And because of that you can go out there and shoot your own angles actually because you can’t really control somebody once they go out there and start talking to the press.  If you’re smart you can really manipulate things during those press conferences. The press conference gives it such a legitimate feeling.

Konnan on how diverse Lucha Libre is:It’s a beautiful thing because what’s happened is when Lucha first started all the Luchadors were all Mexican right? Now they’re white, Filipino, black. It’s become a global thing just like Lucha Libre itself.

Konnan Talks About Shooting 3LiveKru Promo In The Hood: “We did this vignette that was hilarious, Ronny took us to the hood and it was funny because a kid rolled up on us on a bike and he had a gun in his waistband and he said: "What are you doing in my hood," and Rony said he used to do that. So, Bro, you haven't lived if you haven't seen Road Dogg in the middle of the hood dressed up like a PIMP, like an old-school PIMP Starsky-Hutch style like...with a rainbow wig dressed down in the hood and people were laughing.

Konnan on What’s The Mission for AroLoucha: We saw what happened at Lucha Underground. I was there for season 1 and I was there before the company started, but anyways, so, I kinda know what was going on over there. Something that was evident is they weren’t touring, and they weren’t making any money with no merchandise after such a hot product. This is how hot this product was, cause people are miss led by numbers sometimes. Usually they add hundred-thousands viewers right? From 80-125 or whatever, we go for that first number, “People aren’t watching the show.” I go that’s where you're wrong. This year I traveled mostly with Rey (Mysterio) but I went to Sudan, to Chile, like all over bro, everybody knew what Lucha Underground was and nobody had El Rey. - We saw Lucha Underground open the doors

WHAT HAPPENED AT THE END OF CAGE OF DEATH: CZW NEWS

As reported by several people, shortly after the Cage of Death event took place last week, CZW (with the exception of one person) was not aware that Nick Gage and Brett Lauderdale were going to enter the ring and the Cage after the show.  There's been some heat between the two companies for some time.  Lauderdale had worked the CZW in the past and was no longer welcome at their events after a falling out.  Gage had been one of the top CZW talents at one point and the two were now doing their own rival promotion in Gamechanger doing their own Ultraviolent style product using some former CZW names, including founder John Zandig. 

So, why did the scene at the end of Cage of Death happen?   We are told that the idea of doing an angle was pitched to DJ Hyde and the decision was made to turn it down.  Giancarlo Dittamo, who worked on the booking of CZW with Sami Callihan and Hyde, had originally pitched the idea.  As noted, it was shot down, but the word making the rounds is that Dittamo, feeling the show needed a big moment to close it, decided to do it anyway and not tell anyone.  Gage and Lauderdale just walked into the building and hopped the rail. which is equally insane.  That sort of thing never would have happened if Atlas Security was there.

With no real plan and CZW (beyond Dittamo) not in on what was going on, the show had an awkward ending where the ring mic was shut off on Gage and the ring sort of filled up with everyone waiting for something to happen.  Hyde and Matt Tremont were shoving back and forth with Gage but beyond that, there was no physicality, although the scene could have gotten real ugly, obviously.  At that moment in time, most in the cage weren't sure if what was happening was a work or not.  We are told Dittamo left the building as soon as everything went down and is gone from the company.   The word was that he was fired and a lot of people were really upset about the situation because Dittamo had been great at producing videos and in general, was a great hand and a good mind that helped the CZW product.

CZW has removed that footage from their Cage of Death video and requested that their staff and wrestlers do not speak about it publicly.   Gage and Lauderdale's company Gamechanger Wrestling released a video made up of content shot from what appeared to be fans' phones of the incident but CZW immediately filed a copyright claim (since it was their show) and had the material yanked.  We are told that the police were called to the building but by the time they arrived, Gage and Lauderdale had left the venue, as had Dittamo.  The entire scenario and the aftermath (speaking to police, etc.) led to CZW post-show cleanup being delayed and the building was furious about that, especially since they needed to set up for the next day.    DJ Hyde was beyond furious about the situation, believing it had ruined the show.  Whether anything comes of this remains to be seen, but as of today it's not building to any sort of CZW storyline.

The weird irony in all of this is that Matt Tremont, who in CZW storylines owns 50% of the company, is wrestling Gage for Gamechanger this weekend in New Jersey.

MJF suffered a broken hand in his match against Joey Janela at the Cage of Death.  He had been hoping it was just sprained but it was broken.

Everyone involved in the Cage of Death main event ended up going to the ER after the show.

CZW is taking January off as they are looking for a new venue after Rastelli Complex, despite coming to an agreement with the company to regularly host both their school and live events there, pulled out.  The word making the rounds was that the facility, which was a cheerleading rehersal space and kids-oriented facility didn't really jibe with the CZW product.  Who could have guessed that one???  CZW apparently has two potential venues in the Sewell, NJ area they are looking at.  The plan is to run again in February, kicking off with the company's 19th anniversary event.

A rare WWE story for you. :) Hideo Itami to debut on WWE 205 Live next week

Hideo Itami will be arriving on 205 Live next Tuesday.

After a few weeks of hype videos, one final video was shown last night and announced that Itami would be making his debut next week. On commentary, Nigel McGuinness called Itami one of the most intimidating opponents that he's ever faced.

Itami has been wrestling on NXT house shows while waiting to debut on 205 Live, but he hasn't appeared on television since losing to Kassius Ohno in a no disqualification match that aired in September.

Though Itami is getting called up to the cruiserweight division, it won't be the first time he's wrestled on the main roster. He was previously included as a participant in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 31 in 2015 after signing with WWE the year prior.

Before Itami arrives on 205 Live, there will be a number one contender's match between Cedric Alexander and Drew Gulak on Monday's episode of Raw to decide the next challenger for Enzo Amore's Cruiserweight Championship

Rosemary On The Impact Knockouts Division, Going From Heel To Face, Teaming With Allie

Rosemary spoke with the Irish Mirror on a number of wrestling topics. Here are some of the highlights:

 

The current Impact Knockouts division:
"It's time for the current women to step up and, not be given, but take the role left when Gail Kim retired. The Knockouts division is in, shall we say, a renaissance. There is no outstanding veteran in the division any longer. ... It's up to Rosemary, Sienna, Allie, Laurel Van Ness, it's up to somebody to take that role, which is something that we're set up to do."
Teaming up with Allie:
"It is funny, because we spent so many years as rivals on the independent scene, but once we became a functioning duo, it really took off with our fans. We know each other better than most people know us, which is why I think we work so well as allies instead of rivals.

Going from heel to face:
"For a lot of 2016 she was this heel who caused destruction with Decay. She would kidnap and blackmail, cartoon villain things, but their would be an air of reality and danger to them as well. Decay, were really the only villains worthy of Matt Hardy and his family during that time. ... We were the only ones who could possibly keep up with them, and match them at the level they were at. So she's now kind of, dare I say a babyface, but she hasn't changed really the way she operates. She still demands darkness, and chaos and loyalty from people. She hasn't changed the way that she does battle, but maybe she's changing the reason why she does battle
