Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another Monday episode of the No Contest Wrestling Podcast. It's good to see you, but I hope it's good to see us. I am the hero that you love and hate, O'Shea Jackson Jr., aka Petty Guerrero. That always gets me. Hey, yo, it's me, it's me, it's the Touhou.

J-I-Double G. 2G8. TJ Jefferson. What up, though? Man, we got, dude, we got Raw in London.

Yeah, man. Starting before we did. Yes.

So, you know, we're going to catch y'all. We were only able to see a little bit because we had a very important person on today. You know, we had the double champion, La Primera. You know, coming up, coming up. Come on, man.

Like, we. Will be speaking with Stephanie Becca today. Come on, Al. Did a lot of research on this one that went down wormhole after wormhole. A lot of videos that I couldn't fully understand.

Well, of course, because they were in, you know, Spanish. Yeah, you know, being some in Japanese Angeles. I know a little bit. I don't know a lot. I know enough to get around.

You know enough to get by, as well. Yeah, yeah, exactly. You know. But yeah, so while we were getting prepared, Raw was on.

So. We only were able to catch a little bit, but we did catch. A little bit of the Cena and Cody Confrontation in the ring. And finally, man, this is the scene that he kind of. He kind of let loose a little bit more than he had the last time we saw him with the mic in his hand.

So I kind of like that him and Cody went back and forth a little bit more. It was, you know, less the. You know, I'm not going to change for you. You dress like me. And more like, we're getting to this scene of where he's starting to cut Cody down.

We actually heard him say one part that, you know, he helps billionaires build things or something. And all Cody does is take money from billionaire sons. And I was like, oh, wow. And then, you know, Cody said something to the effect of one thing about these fans, they never chanted at me, you can't wrestle. And that looked like that said scene off because, like I said, we're trying to get ready and we're just kind of just being able to run it over.

Yeah, it's a little distracting when the show is happening during our show. But yeah, and also, I think I remember him saying something of the, you know, the point of like, yeah, the fans are who made me. The guy who made you, we can't even say his name anymore. Oh, my goodness. How hard.

Cody. Cordell Rose. Cody Raheem Rose. What are you, boy? Cordell!

Man, I listen. I might buy me one of them fancy jackets now. Yeah, I tell you what, basically, I can't wait to get home to re-watch this because it was fire. Oh my God, the Uber I'm about to get in, you're gonna have to turn the radio down. And then we saw, we caught the very end.

Uh of raw Where We saw Gutenberg. Yeah. Saw Jimmy. Yeah. We saw Jay.

Didn't really get to see the match too much. No, no, no, no, no. But we can only assume how it went. We saw a very bloody. Jimmy getting choked out by the ringhanda row.

Yeah. And on top of that, you got Jay handcuffed to the ropes watching the whole thing. The buildup has now reached a different level. It's gotten better.

Now you've made it a personal thing. You know, I got my. Two brothers, my older brother Gerald, my younger brother Sharif. And shout out to my younger sister, Karima. What up, Karima?

But yeah, sitting there helpless, watching your brother get beat up. That adds levels. We all know what we're doing. We all know what this is, but the visual is still there. It's kind of like when Roman.

Yeah. Jimmy. In the Hell and Cell against Jay, and he's choking Jim out, and Jay just had to like, stop, man. I quit. I quit.

By the way, cinema. But. Yeah, they've reached a new personal level with it. This is gonna help fuel the promos on Jay's side for sure. You know, there's multiple sides to Jey Uso: there's the right-hand man, there's main event.

But then there's the other one, the Now I got to get you. Yeah, and I said that on Twitter a couple of days ago. I'm like, at this point, that's. the J that needs to come out. Remember that Promo he had with Daniel Bryan.

A few years ago, where he basically was like, We ain't locking. Him out of the cage. You're locking me in the cage with you, and now I gotta get you.

Now I gotta get you. Like you said, we need that. I gotta get you because that Jay was, he was, he was ready to crash out on anybody. He DGAF about nothing or nobody. That Jey Uso.

Better show up at WrestleMania, man, or it's going to be a l. Or a short night, depending on how you look at it. We need the right crash out of the main event's cool. We need, I'm going to get you. Yeah, now I got to get you.

He's got to be there. That's the only chance he has, in my opinion. Yeah. So, you know, it's one of those things like in a movie when the. The villain.

As soon as the villain uh uh touches a family member, bro, it sends the hero overboard for your Dragon Ball Z fans. You know, you know, I ain't as soon as go, yeah, I know, I got you, bro. As soon as Goku see you, you touch Krillin or anybody that's part of his family, it's a rap, dude.

So, it's on like in Domicon 2, dude. Indomicon, I need, I need that, I need that from Jay.

Now, I gotta get you, yeah, we need that, and um, I think, I think, based upon what we were able to watch today. I think maybe we're at that point. Absolutely. It has to be. Also, speaking of something else, real quick, let's give a shout out to.

Uh, one of the top movies on Netflix right now, this week, than the Thieves 2. Oh, no, my movie, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We gotta hike that up. Where is he going? Week two, and last week was the first week on Netflix, and you know what?

It ain't and what it ain't is the number two. We number one, baby. All right, thank you for everybody who's been watching it. Um, I get all the tweets, you know, I stay on Twitter. I'm probably on Twitter right now while you're watching this, and um, yeah, I appreciate the support as always.

Um, it means the world to me. Like, you'll never know. I know that uh, you could just not give a shit.

So, I, I, from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate everybody who tuned in in theaters and tuned in on streaming. Uh, much love from your boy O'Shea Jackson Jr., the heel that you just love to hate. Shout out to that boy, Jean-Jacques, Jean-Jacques Diallo Diallo, bro.

Well, I want to keep her waiting, so bro. Yeah, speaking of uh, you know, what. how we need that version of Jey Uso. What the people need. Is to see our interview with Stephanie Vacare, I mean, the double champion.

Yeah, always it's hard. uh when you change life. Because you change everything, culture, food. time, language. But for me, maybe maybe it's m more easy Japanese.

I speak Japanese more than English. Yeah, Because first I I went to Japan many times.

So I learn Japanese. I speak more Japanese. them English. But the first time in Japan, soha. really hard because different style and really a strong style.

in Japan. uh different cultural um Everything changed, everything changed.

So, really hard. You mentioned the culture change. I had this question for later, but I'll ask it now.

Now that you live in the United States, How have things changed for you in terms of Have you found new foods that you enjoy? Have you found new music? What has life been like in the United States for you? And what types of things are you finding here that you like? Be it food, music, places to go, anything like that?

Um, uh, change a lot. It's different now because uh before I come to America many times, but now live in America is different, different style live different language. For me, um, English is difficult, still difficult. I I don't speak good yet.

So thank you for understanding my broken English. You speak very well, just so you know. Thank you so much. But now uh Now I really feel really, really good because Uh now I have a really good team work.

So everybody helped me with language, with different thing.

So speak slow for me and explain me everything.

So My life now changed a lot. but it's really good because I limb I'm I am learn and new things but with really good teamwork. When you were in Japan, how long did it take you to learn Japanese. Yeah. Long time.

Yeah, Japanese is difficult, so difficult, but. Um Before to Japan, I learned Japanese because my dream when I start in wrestling, I say my dream is Japan.

So I a student before. Because I know one day might go to Japan, so I want to learn Japanese and I I learn little bit before to go. See, man, we got to learn Japanese. You're right. We're dropping the ball here.

Definitely.

So. Tell us when did you fall in love? with wrestling. And when did you know? That's what I want to do.

When I was maybe, I don't remember the. Exactly. But maybe when I was Twelve. Um I saw it in T V WWB, of course. And say okay.

This is for me, this is my dream, I want to do this. for the rest of my life and It's love. But when I training and I start to learn. Breastling. Uh it's Patience and respect is more love.

So, but the first time when I saw in television and say, This this is for me. Can you remember? When was the first time We call it a welcome to wrestling moment.

So, when was the first time where you might have? Taking a fall or Or taking a hit that was really hard, where you thought, oh, I can't believe I'm doing this. Oh my god. Yeah. I don't know.

It's It's hard because in beginning take the bump. Yeah. Ah, next day you feel like Oh my God, what I do here, but Um I remember really bad moments and my When I in my debut, my second or three match. I broke my face, my nose. And Yes, after that, I think a lot of uh wrestling is for me or not, it's so hard.

Um recovery is maybe one year or so. I think a lot, I think. This is hard. This is really really hard. And In my life, I learned a lot with that.

So Yeah, I knew that. Bad moment, but after that I learned a lot. And after that say okay. Goal. This is for me and I take and I don't know, I don't say in English, but when you...

Something bad happened, and after that, you change and say, Okay. I go fight like warrior. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now, no, Stephanie, just you know, to learn a little bit about you for people who aren't that familiar with you, just kind of get a little bit of your background now. You were born in San Fernando, Chile, correct? Is that where you're from? And I understand that that's kind of like here in the United States, that's kind of like Napa. It's where wine is grown.

Correct? What is that? In chillers? Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, I've heard that.

So it's like Napa here in California, where she's from. They're like the ninth largest producer of wine.

So she's nothing about wine, bro. She survives us, bro.

So you're from you're from Chile and You became began training when you were sixteen years old, correct? And then you went to Mexico and you trained there. What was it like being so young? for you. leaving home to go become a a wrestler.

Yeah. Yeah, when I was uh nineteen, I say, Okay, I go to Mexico to learn really good because many people say in Mexico is really good a school for wrestling so f a star for the beginning. Yeah, yin. you need a really good teacher.

So Um I take the decision because Ah in Chile Yeah. The professional wrestling don't exit. No, really no, just amateur, you know, yeah. Uh so say okay. If I do that, I I will I be with the best.

So it to really learn really good.

So I take that decision.

So I go to Mexico. I say my dad say, okay, I go to Mexico just six months for learn and back but I never came back Oh man. Yeah, I'm going to go to Mexico for six months and I'm going to go back. It never came back. Never back.

Wrestling is so hard. You need long time for really learn. And not just training, you need experience and ring. and the experience ring is so different to training.

So I I didn't know, say six months, maybe it's okay. And no. No, no. No, you need long time for learn. Wrestling.

Now You've made this move. to the WWE. And yeah. As fans, we are more than entertained with what you've put on. Can you talk to us about how It felt to finally get to the WWE and how it's been since you've been there.

Um WWE is little different uh between the I I do before. But uh WTV is my dream. I grew up with WWE and it's my dream. I know it's different before, maybe. Different style, like Japanese style and Mexican style, it's so different to WWE style.

But Uh I really like learn new things uh I really like this like uh I I don't know the word. In English. Say it in Spanish man. Retos? Yeah, I don't.

I tried. It's when you say, okay, this is new, it's difficult, but I want to do that. Oh, that's like a challenge. Challenging.

So I like the challenge. I really like the new challenge. And when WW call me, say yes. It's my dream, it's a big challenge, and I really want to go, I really want to learn, I really want to be the best. In WWE.

Now uh during your interview uh with Billy Ray you mentioned that other places before you got here. It was hard for you to learn because people didn't want to teach you. They just said, you wrestle to wrestle, go wrestle.

Now that you're in NXT and you have so many coaches and so many people around. Who want to help you learn? How's that make you feel, and how has that improved? your status as a wrestler. I guess I say your skills as a wrestler.

Make me feel in home. Yeah. make me feel at home because Uh Wayne You when you have a really good Teamwork. You can do amazing things.

So When I come here and many coaches say whatever you need to know. Please ask. Uh whatever y you need, please tell me. Let me know. Every everything.

So for me it's more It's difficult. to learn a lot things new and in other languages.

So the teamwork, the coach, the the El Gefe of Joe Michaels. Always say whatever you need, whatever you need to know, please ask.

So. Here I really feel at home. Um where now I have a really teamwork.

So I can do many things and uh really improve. Everything. Let me ask her this real question. What was the first time, or what was your first memory of seeing Shawn Michaels wrestle? Do you remember?

Thank you. Um I don't remember exactly, but Maybe when I was twelve. Because The ex for me, and I remember in my bag my Uh Backpack the backpack. I have that DX Now, did you ever get in trouble at school for doing the the DX chop? Did did that ever get you?

No, because my teacher is really fun of the WW2. Oh, really? I come to school and my teacher says, oh, I like too.

So this must be amazing. Have you spoken to that teacher since you became a a a wrestler? I'm interested to know what they think about you. Yeah, yeah. My and When I was Fifth.

15 maybe? One day I come to the school with my DX in my bag, and the teacher says, Oh, Do you like it? Of course, I love WWE. Say me too. And And this time I remember the um I don't know name in English.

It's like a book, but you buy the. Stickers in your porn, the sticker books. Sticker book. Sticker book. Yeah, sticker book.

Ah. Maybe, maybe. But I promise next time in in Chile, when I go to Chile, next time I take a picture. But That would be amazing.

Now, you've been a fan of WWE for a long time. Can you tell us? What you felt When you found out you got to be in the women's Royal Rumble for the first time. Wow. Dumb.

I'm sure you heard us screaming for you because we were really loud for you. Yeah, a big pop. The people, I say, oh, nice. What did that pop feel like? Because you're not on the main roster yet.

You are in NXT. Were you worried that people might not know you? And then when you got there, what did that feel like to hear the crowd go crazy? I think, okay, people don't know me, but now people know me, but I know. When I go to the ring, maybe no.

People don't know me, so no big pub.

So I know it's okay because. Uh people need to See me in the ring. But When I Come to the ring and people who say, okay, people know me.

Double champ. Double champion, man. All right.

Well, okay, so let's take it back a little bit then. Seven years ago, Stephanie, you had a WWE tryout. Things didn't go your way. You didn't get signed at that moment. What did you learn from that tryout that you used?

going forward with your career to make sure that you did get signed. the next time the opportunity came. Oh. First when I finish the tryout. And W the B saying no.

you know ready for that I understand, but I cry a lot. I really cry and say, why this is my dream? Why, why can't but. Maybe two, three days, cry and after that say, Okay.

Now What I can do. For the future, f for the ne the next step, you know? What I can do.

So uh I learn a lot and try out uh I know different style, I know it's hard. But uh I take a lot ideas. For example. Ah. I remember Dovey Dewey take one No pro wrestler jiu-jitsu athlete?

So I seem okay maybe jiu-jitsu can help me in wrestling.

So I started to train in Jiu Jitsu. I started to train in Olympic wrestling after the tryout. And I say, okay, The step for step.

Now I learn new style. More. Wrestling.

Um One day I go to WWE. Right.

Now, speaking of jiu-jitsu, seven years more. I'm here. Hey, it worked out. Everything worked out. I'm here.

Now, speaking of jiu-jitsu and MMA, you were just at UFC Mexico. This weekend. And by the way, happy birthday, Felice Compleano. As we can say, hope you had a great birthday. I also saw some video of you training in an octagon.

Can you just talk about what your experience was like? being down there for UFC, Mexico. Um Big experience, amazing experience, really good because not just go and Meet the gym, you you of see gym. I'm training with Haula Vamontes. Uh He is chilling too.

So I train in in in UFC, Mexico, uh Uh Amazing experience. I'm amazing experience. And I promise I go to training. I I will go to training again. Just adding more tools.

Yeah, it's adding more tools right there. I want to ask a couple of questions outside of wrestling and combat. Um I I read somewhere your team Is your team Manchester United? A game, sorry? Ah, okay.

Football team. Do you yeah, do you have a favorite football team? Yeah, La Roja. Oh, okay.

Well, it's my uh yeah. I can it's a chilling team. That would make sense. Yeah. Yeah, chilling team.

And I saw in an in an old interview with you, you said you like cats over dogs. I give him toy. You like cats more than you like dogs. Yes.

What? How? I love I love cats, dog. I love the animal, whatever, but for me, because long time ago. Um Uh I adopt adopted.

Yeah, adopted, yep. It's like Oh, okay, okay. I tried to explain. I I adopted my cat. Straight.

And She so cute. She's like my soul Twist yeah, you're like your soulmate. Yeah. So After that I love cats. I really love because she for me is No just a cat.

It's really important for me. And cats are less maintenance than dogs. Oscar! My cat name is Oscar. Does Oscar know this?

No, but I don't think so. She's gonna find out probably tomorrow when she watches this. I am a big fan.

So when I I don't them, my cat say, Oh, you're so cute. You're so So I I porn ask a name. I love that. That's nice. You know, she don't know.

Oh, I can't wait. I'm a big fan of Oscar, so I like that. Oscar's his favorite. He loves Oscar. I'm a big fan too.

But you are also on the list, just so you know, of my favorites. Thank you so much. Now, somebody else who's down there with you at NXT. We gotta talk about Julian. Yeah.

How How important is it to have Someone you know. take this journey with you. Um, Julia is my best friend. She is amazing. Uh wrestler.

And I feel like Respect. Mm-hmm. Because um I'm always to learn new things with Julian in in the same room. She's one of of the best.

Now, I think one thing you are maybe leaning towards, O'Shea, in that question is. How important was it? for you to have a friend like her here. already living here one when you made your move here. Did she make it easier, you know, to find a place to live or help you get around town?

Was it, you know, was it. How important was she to that process for you? really important because in the beginning i speak japanese but no english and sometime we together training together everything. And She held me a led. Help me a lot.

Sometimes they oh I don't understand it she explained me in Japanese uh and the training she explained me everything and We change Life, every dinner life.

So Now she understands. Uh I understand. everything because we live the same big change. and the life.

So It's important for me, not just in the ring and And Um in here in wrestling is important for me. Uh she always helped me. you know, and outside the ring. Yeah, outside of the ring does she help you like get around town She learns your way, things of that nature. Yeah, one time I remember I buy a I buy um Like a table?

What? Were you able to put the table together? Did you finish the table? Maybe four or five hours later. We did it.

But you did it. We did it. Girl power. Let's talk game time tickets, people, because it's a perfect time of year to do so.

So many great things happening in the world of sports. The college basketball tournament playoffs are starting soon in basketball and hockey. Baseball's kicking off right now. And if you want to see some of this action live, why don't you?

Roxanne Perez. I gotta talk about the Hugger cosplay. I mean, it was perfect, wasn't it? You know? LA Knight.

What am I doing here? This point I can retire. See, everybody. The No Contest Wrestling Podcast, part of the Rich Eisen Podcast Network. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.

I know I keep asking about this Japanese thing, but it's because. To be so so successful. Yeah, like TJ and I. There's a lot of wrestlers that we want to interview. But we gotta Know a little Japanese.

So, can you tell us what's the best way to learn Japanese? How did you learn Japanese? I um Uh Japanese is Difficult but Maybe for me in the beginning, more easy because you write. Japanese same like Spanish.

Okay.

So for me maybe more easy learn Japanese in the beginning. Uh but What When you really need speak. Oh, you really need to To speak in expression communication, you learn because my first time in Japan. Nobody speaks English, Spanish, nothing.

So maybe the bars too Yeah. straight to Japan. Um It's hard because three months and nobody I understand you. Uh You need to learn. You need to see.

And if you all day, every day heard Japanese. Yeah, it's better.

So we gotta go to Japan. We gotta go to Japan. That's the only thing. That's a long flight. Living Japan is more easy because yeah, for you Learn but not practice.

Every day you forget. For sure.

Now, now, Stephanie, I have a friend, and her name is Stephanie. And she's also from Chile.

So I was speaking with her the other day when I was doing my research on you. And she was so amazed that there was a female professional wrestler that came out of Chile. Because as she was telling me, my friend Stephanie, she said it's very hard for athletes to make it from your country because you don't have like government funding, you don't have university.

So it's either you have to be. She said, you either have to be like wealthy from a wealthy family, or you have to have people, the community. Come together to help you move on and achieve your goals. And I just want to tell you, she knew nothing about you until I told her. But now you have a fan.

She loves you without ever seeing you because of where you came from, because you're from the same place. And she understands how tough it must have been for you. To get to where you are from where you came from, these are all things like I could hear it in her voice, the pride in her voice as I was telling you about her. How does that make you feel to know? that you are representing People who have never seen you, but because you are alike and you come from the same place.

They want nothing more for you to succeed. And know that you have fans out there who are just. Want the best for you. How does that feel? I feel really good.

I feel really happy because. Um for example now and U of C show When I speak, I spoke with Ba Mondes, La Haula. Fighter. Uh he is Chilean too.

So He said, Okay, I know. It's really, really hard because in Chile You don't have nothing. Nothing. No support for athletes, nothing.

So it's really hard because when I want to training And and I burn in a really little stone Town? Mm-hmm. So for training I need to take a bus two hours training and back to home. and pay my boss so this It's really hard. Because you don't have Super.

Nothing. Nothing. So As the reason why I take the decision and go to Mexico because. Um I really I I miss Chile. I really miss Chile, but No support for A sport.

Nothing at all. Um Not just pro wrestling, nothing. Just football, maybe.

Okay.

Bad. It's hard, really hard.

Now, because there's no support. For athletics Uh in Chile. Did it make your family nervous. when they found out this is what you wanted to do. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. always ask ask me in the beginning, say You really want this? That's a yes. And Ah.

I'm sure. I'm short.

So my dad always said, You you don't have um Body. Body for wrestling, they say, Okay, but I have heart for wrestling. Right, yes, and and It's it's difficult, yeah. My my family Uh in the beginning so where yeah. What you say?

Not supportive? Worry? Worried? Worried, yeah, worried, yes, yeah. About me, because Mexico, it's How dangerous?

Yeah. Alone. By yourself. Yes.

Yeah. But my family Always support me. Say okay. Maybe Maybe my family don't understand about wrestling. Just support me and if I am happy, my family is happy.

I'm a big fan and maybe don't understand a lot about wrestling. If I say, okay, you can do it, go. All the time support me.

So the beginning is Mm it's really hard for my family. And I'm still hard for my family. My dad, when I I claim So Or a spinal tap, my dad always says. Akis. Problems.

Okay, after that, see the video, but in the moment, my dad always says, No, no, no. He's worried about his baby. He doesn't want you to get hurt. That makes sense. Yeah.

Oh. So it's difficult for my family but I Ah.

Well you say I'm blessed because my family support me. Always. That's amazing. I have a daughter. Uh she's seven.

And I don't like when she jumps off the monkey bars.

So I can only assume what he has to feel like watching her in the ring. Oh my God. Yeah, that must be. Worried about her safety all the time. Because we're all fans of Stephanie, but that's his baby.

Yeah. And you don't want to, he definitely doesn't want to see you get injured. I don't like when my daughter walks down the steps too fast. Yeah, sometimes my dad asked me, say, I don't understand when you. Um do that.

And say, Papa, we'll be there sometime and just be like a warrior and just do it.

Now, Stephanie, I want you to be comfortable. You can put the titles down if if you want. I don't want to make you hold them. Don't worry. I feel really good.

I feel really good. It's a great look. I just wanted to make sure you're comfortable with it. Thank you. Double champion.

Um After the last Tuesday, yeah, that's nice. Yeah. I feel really good with to tile all the time.

So you should feel great. And do you... Has it hit you how big of a moment it was what you did? Because no one has ever Successfully defended two single championships in one night. There have been people who've had two championship matches, one, lost one, lost both.

You went in. and defended two titles in the same night. What does that make you feel like? Um When I saw the video and Because I didn't know, but when I saw the video, say, okay. Every Uh everyone before me Uh two titles, same nine, lost one title.

And say, Okay, I can. I can I I can't think in that. I need to focus, really focus. And when this show Um over. To title with me.

At the beginning of the show, say, okay. It doesn't matter. Please not see again the video. It doesn't matter if um Uh before me Um Other person can do that. It doesn't matter.

Focus, focus, focus. Uh we We can do that. And I'm still in la primera, you know why so okay, I think if Before me, nobody do. I am la primera. I can do the for You're the first.

You're the one. The first, man.

Now, TJ, I have I got to ask our question now. I got to see where this one. I'm really interested to see where this one goes. This is one of our, probably our biggest questions, Stephanie. We asked this of all of our guests from CM Punk to Nia Jax to Braun Breaker to Jada Parker a few weeks ago.

So, yeah, this is the fans love this question and the answer to it.

Okay, so. We like to pretend that there's a situation where. You're at you're at the bar with your girlfriends. Uh drinking mimosas, having a great time. Just relax and step.

And There's fifty women In the bar. Who want to fight you? They're jealous of you. Yes.

So I need you to pick four other wrestlers to team up with you. To kick everybody's ass in the bar. And Stephanie, you can pick wrestlers of. Any era. Yeah, whatever you want.

They can be from, they can be your contemporaries, or you could go back in time.

Okay, perfect. Uh first, Julia. I knew it. Of course. Because you know she's got a lot of.

Um Asuka? Oh, so far, it's a great team. Love it. Yeah, Asuka. And Wow, this is hard.

Anytime. China. Yes.

And one more rather than a message. Because we got to make sure you get home safe, Stephanie. We can't have nothing happening. Go and check Stephanie, man. Yeah, a really good team.

I think. One more. Um Oh diffic Big gold thing. Yeah. Um Mm-hmm.

We are, we are reporting. Oh my god. Okay.

So we have you, Julia. Asuka, China, and Rhea. Yeah. That bar's in trouble that night, Stephanie. Those women are going to wish they stayed at the Casa that night.

All right, because someone's getting beat up. My God. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's a good team.

Asuka's going to go around spitting mist in people's faces. You know. You know, the Oscomist, I love that. I love your team. That's amazing.

That's a really good team. I love it. I love it. Man, that stack.

Well, now that we're talking about. Wrestlers from today in the past, we also have this question I like to ask. We have a time machine, Stephanie. Which means you can go back in time. I need you to pick.

Five women wrestlers. From any company? from any era that you get to main event WrestleMania with. Um Your five dream matchups. Like I said, any man, women, whoever from any company, from any era.

Who would you love to face? Oh. Yeah. Difficult question because I I have many Um Oh, I don't know. I I'm I'm a big fan for Mariko Yoshida.

How will it be fine? Yeah. So Maybe I I I take Mariko Yoshida. Yeah. There's one.

There's one. Um Um I'm a shame and Um Mm old. Uh uh uh for Mexico I take Marcela. Marcella? Marcella.

Yeah. She's really, really good. A legend. Um Amish. Yeah.

Okay.

Um maybe. Maybe Sashawang. Oh yes. Like that. Mm-hmm.

Again. Yeah, yeah. One more time. One more time. Those are three good ones.

because I have really good experience. And so Yeah.

So that's three. Do you have two more? Two more. I welcome to Michelle McCool. Really?

Okay.

Okay.

Michelle McCorn. I like that. I grew up with. They cool. Remember Lay Cool back in the day?

Hmm? Les Cool, her tag team that Michelle used to be in. I was a big fan of those. Les Cool.

Okay, really good. Um and China. Yeah, of course. Rest in peace. China, man.

Those are five great main. She's a DX fan, man. She had DX on her backpack. Yeah, she loves China, man. That makes sense.

Okay, so you're you're you know, you you've you grew up watching it. Um Is there A time where it's another question we like to ask as a fan. watching the the storylines and you know, the different m the outcomes of the different matches. Was there ever a time that wrestling broke your heart? Like when I was a kid watching Stone cold.

And Vince McMahon beat up the rock with a chair, broke my heart as a kid. I was just like, no, not like this.

So, is there ever a time as a kid or as a fan where you were watching wrestling where it broke your heart? See, I used to remember watching the four horsemen beat up Cody Rhodes' dad, Dusty Rhodes. All the time.

So that just to just bother me. Like, wow, why? Where's Dusty's help? They're beating up. I think today's the anniversary of one time they beat him up in the parking lot.

Like, so that hurt me. What's yours, Steph?

Okay, but maybe this is not inside the ring No room. for me, um, maybe no, like Wrestling is history But for me, when Uh Eddie Uh Um yeah. Yeah, really. Yeah, it's all like extra for ring just history like Uh, it knows hard because I think of that. I n never see again in that ring.

You know? So it doesn't matter in this moment it doesn't matter that History, who is the good guy, the bad guy. I never see again. Eddie in. The ring.

Yeah, that was. Yeah, that was devastating. Real, real, yeah. I'm sorry, it's not like no, you're not like ring, ring is like a. You know, I think it's a little bit more.

I'm pretty sure Dominic Mysterio said that was the moment. Dominic Mysterio said the same thing as you. Did Bischoff? Did Eric Bischoff say that? Oh, Eric did say that because he had just talked to Eddie.

Not Long before he passed.

So, yeah. Eric Bischoff said the same thing.

So we've gotten. We've heard that answer a few times, and it's still. It hurt a lot of people. It hurt a lot of people. I think that was the first.

In my life, that was the first. wrestler who passed that, like when he passed I cried, you know, because it was just like. You just saw him. Because it was Eddie, man. Yeah, it was Eddie.

And, like, as a fan, you just saw him. Like, I just saw him. And Eddie had reached that point in his career where no matter what he did. Fans weren't gonna boo him. No.

He was a good guy. We're turning him. They tried to turn him hill. Fans wouldn't boo him. They tried to make him still dominant, as his son.

We still wouldn't boo him. It was just like, we're not booing Eddie. We don't care what detail is. And for me, I'm L I'm Latina. I am Latina.

I can hear those like like Yeah. Feel more, yeah, it means something different than Latin Latinus. For me, it's really hard. Yeah. Much like the way you're having that effect on fellow Chileans.

Like, I get that and I understand that. Loppy Matter. Yeah, number one.

So, Stephanie, this is just a quick thing. On Bully Ray's podcast, you were talking about like when you started, it wasn't about the money for you, like you did it. for the love, but can we just give you uh just a tip here? You're now here in America. And you are a superstar.

So you don't want to make it about the money, but make sure that you're being compensated because there's not many like you. There's not too many Stephanie Vacares out there.

So, you know, just it was nice to hear you say it wasn't about the money then, but now this, you know, we're a capitalist society. My dad would tell me, uh, When I first started my career in acting. If everybody's getting paid in love, Do it for the love. Everybody's getting paid money. My dear same the same, when they're money but the same.

Yeah. Yeah. But it's different when you Um We When you focus and really work hard and Uh learn and do Big things and no, and just money, money, money. When you Take more money, you really feel good because you deserve farming is. It's not like, okay, I'm just money and I.

I have money and I feel good. No, because it's different when you know you deserve.

So it is Yeah the different You really feel good. It's like you sacrificed many things, and now you can enjoy. Yes, exactly.

So we just got two uh quick questions, Stephanie, and we'll be done with you. Um, Madison Square Garden. You won the NXT title at Madison Square Garden. I'm not sure if you know about the history, but here in America, it's called the World's Most Famous Arena.

So many incredible Sporting events there from basketball to boxing have been held there in addition to. The history of professional wrestling there we could spend another hour on.

So, was it just wondering, was it your first trip to New York? And what did you think? Did you been to New York? Was it your first trip to the garden? Yes.

Okay.

The first climate violence covers. What did that feel like to walk into that arena? Like I said, the most famous arena here in the States. and walk out as a champion. I feel really good.

I know about the Madison Square Garden and When uh when I know the That the title match is in New York, Madison Square Garden, say, wow. Yeah. This is amazing because you make history and I. history location. Right.

So Amazing, amazing, many thai many things. Um I love Oh no, wait you say wait. Um many times I heard in Mexico Ah Aladdin. Wrestlers say, Ah, Madison Square Guard, they just mean mascaras. You know, Mil Mascara.

No mascara. Just meet Mascaras and Madison Square Guard and nobody do that because it's hard. It's a amazing place. And it's he History when I come to the that Madison's car guy say okay. I know this is a really important place and make history.

And I've In Madison Square Guard, it's like you dream, but more because better. And then you were also at the Empire State Building, too, right? How was that being up there? I saw you with King Kong up there. Nice, Willigan.

I enjoy a lot. They're uh really good because Uh I I went to New York maybe four times.

Okay.

Hyperdynes. But always is hotel, airport, arena. It's not You never get a chance to enjoy it. Yeah, I was the no No, um don't know New York.

So When I go to No New York, say, okay, really nice New York. I love New York.

Well, Stephanie, before we let you go, there's one last thing that we'd like to talk to you about. Mm-hmm. And that's the move. Scream! The move that sets NXT on fire.

The move that makes Booker T lose his mind every week. Oh my God. Oh, Shea, the move that makes camera ops almost lose their job because they understand the assignment. Oh, my God, TJ.

Now, full disclosure, we've seen Charlotte Flair use this move before, but not to the effect. That you use it. Yeah. What is the move called? Does it have a name?

And if it doesn't, can we name it right now? Um Matt Bloom, coach, say Dabiel Kiss. The devil's kissed her. Yeah, I love this name, but Yeah. Maybe good because I Devil's Kiss is a great name.

Let me ask you: do you like that name, The Devil's Kiss? Yeah, Leggin. That's it. That's what it's called. It's the Devil's Kiss.

Oh, yeah, man. Like Booker T would say, oh, oh, you know, the Devil's Kiss. I never knew the name of it. We'd sit here and talk about it. And I, like three weeks ago, I said to you, This is what you call it.

Like, what do we call it?

So now that is. Many people ask me about that name and. I have I have I really don't know the not have name for my move because my move Is Weird I try to mix many things. For example, my finish. My finisher is uh combination so I I tried to find a new wrestling style and I make New things.

So sometimes ask me about the name, I say, I don't know because I never see before that. But now I know because I saw a video for Charlotte but I I didn't know. I really didn't know. Biden. That's okay.

I think this Uh big Different. Like I said, it's different. Yeah, yeah, it's different. a big difference between It's not same. It's not same.

Yeah. No. It's Uh similar but not same. Devil's kiss.
