Go about the whole season for the all these new
wrestlers to be coming to our podcast. We've
been lining up already. We already covered the
month of January. So that one set up and we only
got two more episodes, which is today and next
week on Tuesday, which, by the way, if you tune
in, it's going to be ugly sweater episode. So
trust me, things are hideous. So you might want
to be wearing a sweater. The other one. Well,

topless. Don't worry. I bought the stickies just
in case. but anyways guys we are here episode
274 slowly climbing the ladder to 300 and on
today's podcast we got it from interface with
us she's been missing in action here in the RG
for a little while reason why she's she's going
to school she's in school right now so but she
took time off of her busy schedule to come visit
us during our new podcast. From what I understand,
she accidentally answered the phone. I mean,
I meant to press cancel. That tends to happen
a lot. But thankfully, yeah, no kidding. So sorry
for the auto technical difficulties in the beginning.
I'm sure the podcast is a little awkward today.
It's almost the end of the year. We're getting
rid of all the bugs. But back to our guests.

online earlier last, well, late last week with
a little person called, you know, I can't say
his name three times because he'll appear for
some reason, but we got child proof locks on
the doors. So he hasn't attempted to try to get
over here, so we're good. He's going to come
out through the window? Don't say that. He'll
just come under the door, dude. He can shrink.
I think he's under the table, no? Let's just
say someone's paying the dues. But anyways, but

a lot of math and numbers and shit. I'm thinking
math next semester. It's crazy. Is it more like
naming? But is it like anatomy right now right

you're going to school now. You're getting Situated
on now what you're doing to learning and stuff
like that now. Are you still? By a chance of
walking on wrestling territories up in San Antonio.
Are you bidding any promotion on Austin? Sorry
in Austin. Um, I wrestled once for a pw. Okay,
but they're they're like Halloween show. Okay,
it was it was my first like kindle stick match

eyes i was against um tina nix she gave me a
german suplex or something like that to like
um the barbed wire oh my god wire kindle stick
right and i went back to school and i saw And
the marks I had on my back and I'm like, holy
shit, dude. This is what I signed up for. I like
stuff like that. There you go. Yeah, it's fun.
So that's cool. So you're still continuing. You're
still getting, still hitting the gridiron as
far as wrestling up there in Austin. Yeah. Now
up there and I'm sorry, go ahead. No, I was just
saying that's awesome that you can still continue
on. What's the community look like up there with
wrestling? I have no idea. It's like, I don't
know, that environment was nice though. The crowd
was really into it. So I really liked it. You
didn't really get to work a whole lot with the
other wrestlers that are up there. No. It was
just a call you and show up. Okay. All right.
All right. Yeah. This is, you know, last time
we talked, I know it was more like just. shooting
the shit, getting to know you and talk a little
bit. I mean, I did come up with a couple of questions
for you, just in case, you know, just to throw
them out. There's nothing that that serious or
anything. But like there's one here like when
you're up in Austin, they announce you the Nikki
Fuego game name is how it stands out stands out.
What does it represent about who you are in the
ring and outside of it? I mean, as far as that,
you know, now. But before then, we had you on.
You talked about all the fans down here, the
young kids. They thought now that you're getting
you have a little bit more your knee deep into
it already into the wrestling. What does it mean
now to you being Nikki Fuego? What does it represent
to you inside and outside the ring? More woman
empowerment, empowerment, showing that woman,
us women can be better than men in a way. Because
I feel like we can okay and we can like outshine
them You know what? I'm not gonna lie to you.
It's true I've seen I've seen a lot of especially
in other promotions WWE AEW You see a lot of
these women really outclassing the men now. Yeah,
they're a little bit more hardcore I mean there
has as far as the matches now. I've been noticing
that have you seen so Ruka? No, you've never
seen so no no no have you seen Saturday Night
Man event this past one? Yes, I did Yes, that's
right. That's right. He was incredible dude.
I'm not sure did you watch that match too on
Saturday night main event? No, I was I was I
was occupied moment. Yeah, she outshined Wow,
I mean consider the fact she faced it was Bailey
about a mistaken, right? She was facing Bailey
that night and that finishing move was just brutal.
Damn, dude. It's beautiful. It's off the corner
Turner belt She does a twist in the air and knocks
it into like a diamond cutter at the same time.
It's freaking nuts. It's like a cork twist and
then a freaking diamond cutter at the end. While
they were folding laundry. Wow, that is so impressive.
Women are the future. I think you are going to
put you to the table today. It's Christmas. Merry
fucking Christmas. I'm in the game of giving
right now. No, but yeah, I saw I did see that
match that was a very interesting match I mean
as far as like I said, so now Like I said talking
about gaining more knee -deep into it and you're
saying it's more a woman empowerment now I mean
have people more now that you're out and about
in Austin after your match where people approaching
you Asking who you were. I mean where you from
they were approaching me. I worked as a heel
Cause I'm not known in Austin. It was my first
match in Austin. So I worked as a heel and people
afterwards came up to me and they're like, wow,
you're actually really good. It was nice to see
you out here. Hopefully we can see you again.
That's awesome. So it was good. I loved it. And
I got our first comment here. It says, if it's
from Chris says I want Nikki to give me a frog
splash. Then put me in the walls of Jericho.
Wow. Fantasies anybody? It's not that kind of
pocket. Lay it off, buddy. But yeah, I mean,
so I mean, being up there all the time period
events, school and everything. The work I saw
in your in your promo, you are still working
out. You're still doing your thing. You are.
There's times when you do come down and wrestle
down here also. Yes. Yeah. What's the last one
you came down for? Geez. Do you remember? I don't
remember. Yeah too many shots to the head No,
I don't remember you don't remember I'm trying
to remember the day you came down and I'm not
sure was back when I wrestled Abaddon I think
that was the last it was in October. No back
in October. I think that was the last time Yeah,
one of the one of the big events. Yeah, cuz I
know that I know the landmark has been pushing
them out the I was called the Elks Lodge has
been pushing them out. Also, even down here in
the bar was also living. It's been going crazy
with a comeback. It's been it's been moving.
I've been seeing more growth in all the promotions
down here. And then now three bad associated
with a little bit with Triple A and it's even
getting bigger and having Rudy Boy, Rudy Boy
here two weeks ago. him talking about. And by
the way, Michael, they have a lot of stuff to
say about you. And he goes, yeah, she's coming
now. Now she can't come in. She has to go through
me first. OK, I don't know where this is going
from, but all right. But it should take a couple
of minutes. You know, the thing is, that's a
privilege when people like that know you. You
know, it's it's an honor, you know, having your
name coming out of their mouth like that, even
mentioning you at once. That's awesome. How does
that make you feel when you see that stuff? It
makes me feel good about myself because I didn't
think I was capable of being like known or whatever
or Like getting talked about you know So it makes
me feel good about myself now as a female wrestler
in the local scene What challenges have shaped
you the most and how have how has it influenced
your style and your mindset? You know now for
so much longer you've been wrestling already
What's your mindset now when you go out to do
do I feel like I'm more confident mm -hmm The
guys like to say a lot of stuff and talk like
a lot of mess yeah, but it's making me like Careless
about what they say and just focus on me more
because I know what I'm capable of and I know
my worth Right so definitely more confident now.
I know I know we're talking to Mondo had I mentioned
that there was another female wrestler in the
local area that slowly training through a new
breed. I forgot her name, but she will be coming
on the podcast next year. We want her on here
because you're officially the first female wrestler
to ever come. on our show and get interviewed,
which is awesome, you know? And not to say any
least of that, but I've had so many people respond
to us saying, you need more female wrestlers.
And I'm here waiting. I mean, where are they?
Why haven't they reached out? Are they scared
to come on? For some reason, something seems
to be like, it's you, dude. It's you. I don't
know what it could be. I'm looking at the camera
ladies. If you are a wrestler you want to come
and talk in the podcast I'll make sure this thing
is on a leash But I mean has there who would
you I Know you've wrestled a lot of some of the
girls you registered not even from the area yeah
they're from out of town yes but i mean have
you wrestled anybody locally that you would say
you know what this one might be someone that
to keep an eye out for locally locally from here
from the valley females female not that i know
of they put me up against men so in my eyes i'm
basically like You know what and neither you
say that there's something that Micah said that
really made a lot of sense on the podcast when
she was here You know, she says it's great. You
know that the females that are coming to wrestling
that wrestle the males. That's great It's awesome.
You know, you're gonna get bumped here. You're
gonna get you know, it is what it is You know,
some of the bumps are a little little rough But
she's also said that it would be even more of
an experience to actually work with actual women
wrestlers. What are your thoughts on that? I
completely agree. I feel like we should be able
to train with women because men can post for
us, we can flip off of them and stuff, but for
women we can't do stuff because we're all different.
sizes and we can only live to certain amount
right right so i feel like we should get to like
basically sense each other right right i guess
we're saying it's more like a mesh like yeah
with each other mess so you can understand you
know what can we do what can't we do what are
we what are we able to handle because i'm i take
it i mean this is actually breaking the fourth
wall i know when your opponents come in you do
have a a powwow and talk, hey, you know, this
is what's gonna happen, this is what we gotta
do, can you do this, can you do that? Has everything
you've gone over with your opponent and you tell,
hey, this is the way it's gonna go, can you do
this? Or what can you do here and what can you
do there? The strategy. The strategy, yeah. How
does that work out? Sometimes it's actually a
go, most of the times it's a go, so I'm really
happy. but most of the times it's like I am not
able to pick you up or stuff right right right
right right right but it's just because we're
used to like being with the men training with
the men right right so I mean I have seen the
matches when you have with the guys they pick
you up they toss you around I know they make
it look so easy yeah but I mean I'll be honest
with you the the memorable match that I Watched
when you were in the ring what I have to say
for me. I didn't catch all of them that I'm pretty
sure there's even more Classic matches if you've
had but the one that was memorable to me was
when you rest of the charisma Over at the citrus
citrus that was it was like all guns. Oh, let's
go and she was rocking the crowd You were rocking
the crowd and she almost had a lady come up for
she to come up and kick her ass I was like damn
and you know, it was Something and I did I felt
so bad because when I got there you were you're
having your powwow, you know You were having
the the whole the thing and I didn't want to
break the fourth wall there and right in front
of her there And I felt so bad that I pulled
you away. I didn't want her to think that all
Well, I guess you want to talk to me, you know,
maybe there wasn't that that wasn't the case
It's just that you know, we're trying to keep
it sensible for the fan to see, oh, let's see
what Nikki's gonna do this week. Let's see what
Karisma's gonna do this week. She has her fans,
she has your fans. So knowing the fact that it
is YouTube live, people can tune in and watch,
that's the cool thing. But that night, to me
personally, it was a classic match. It was a
good match. It was a heads -on match. Gun hole,
brawl. I think there was even chairs involved.
I'm not mistaken in that match, was it? The only
one I've seen you was when you wrestled her in
citrus in citrus twice in citrus one I think
it was one versus like 1v1 and then the other
one was a Mixed tag. Oh, that's right. You did
have a mixed tag with her. That's right. That's
right Yeah, that's true. Yeah, cuz that one was
I think that that a match chewed They were going
for the belt that videos they were going for
the belt on that the first one on the first oh
i think so i think so yeah yeah it was scary
man because it was dude it was flip flopping
left and right i was like oh shit no not right
now nicky no and it was the first time i wrestled
her too so but it was really good i feel like
it went smooth she's like a little smaller than
me and i feel like we did good now after the
match i know it's good to go and talk about your
match with your opponent you know try not trying
to break the fourth wall too much But what was
her info, her intake, any advice from her or
some of the any good advice from the women you've
wrestled before? You know, what are the what
is one that you take to heart like men? You know,
she's got a point or maybe I should work on this.
What I take to heart is when they tell me I'm
too stiff because I lay in my shots because I
like to make it seem real. Well, it's real, but
like to a certain extent. You're making it too
real. Yeah. So I'm a little too real. You're
a little too into it. When I went up into Florida
with Micah, Russell and Silvia Sanchez, they
told me to put it in. Like, lay it in. And we're
like, oh, OK. And with Micah, I always lay it
in. I don't hold back. Like, I don't lay back.
with anyone right right right so i take it to
heart when they tell me to ease up right right
yeah well that's it that's a good sign because
you're hey man uh well how do you know all that
yeah sometimes guys men tell me to ease up i'm
like right yeah pretty much right there that
sums it up right there sums it up right there
no wonder they're flipping you up pretty much
pretty much pretty much yeah so i mean now that
you're back in the valley i know it's It's downtime
right now. School wise, you're in the valley.
Is there anything in particular you're looking
forward to this coming up week or a couple of
days? Any any matches that are coming up that
people can be looking forward to now that you're
in town for a couple of weeks? As far as anything
right now? I think Saturday. OK, this Saturday.
Today's Friday. Yeah, Thursday. How dare you?
On Saturday gonna be at the eatery. Oh shoot.
Okay, right down the street here in Wisseco.
Yes, okay We're supposed to be having matches
Okay, I don't know if it's set in stone yet,
but on 28th I might be making my appearance back
at the landmark. Uh -oh, here we go, here we
go, here we go. So hopefully I'm back. There
you go. Nice. There you go. Won't be looking
forward to that. You're definitely getting put
on the table. What did I say? Oh my gosh, don't
even get started with that. I got a question
from Chris here. I have a question for Nikki.
Is there any memorable moments so far in your
career outside or inside the ring? Any memorable
moments? I mean, there's quite a few for me that
I've seen matches. There's quite a few, but I
think that's a no. I think I know. No, not really.
Memorable moments would be. I went to the pulga
with my mom, right? And it was, I was barely
starting off, barely a couple matches in. And
then my mom was repping me, right? And had my
Nicki Fuego shirt on. And then the girl, the
vendor, she's like, la conoces a ella? And pointing
at my mom's shirt. And I was like at another
vendor's table, looking around, seeing what I
get. My mom's like, a ella? Si, conoces a Nicki
Fuego? See, it's me. Hi. So yeah, and then she
called me I come back and then she was like all
throwed out That's cool, that's cool. That's
awesome and then This just happened the other
day. My sister and I went to HEB Yeah, we were
just we were messing around walking around getting
groceries and whatnot and it was just me and
her we were just talking and then a couple walks
by and they're like it's that wrestler that wrestler
has a damn but it was like pretty cool yeah to
be recognized and that was the next question
when when fans come to see you Nikki I mean the
matches for the first time what do you want them
to feel remember when they leave the building
or whatever the venue when they see you wrestle
for the first time what is it that you want to
leave them with I mean I know the wow, the oh
crap, did you see that? Or damn, this chick can
kick ass. Can throw down, yeah. Right, right,
right. This woman's not scared. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Trust me, I've seen a lot of you and I hold my
breath a lot, like oh my God. I literally hold
my breath. Especially with Pete. Oh my God. Pete
Payne, man. Yes, Pete Payne. I'm talking about
Pete Payne. He's got issues. He needs to loosen
up. He needs to take it easy. No shit. But no,
seriously, I mean, what are your fans, what do
you want those new incoming fans to take with
them when they see one of your matches? To like,
let's pull a John Cena to not give up. There
you go, there you go. To like, just... Not let
yourself get locked all over. Uh -huh and to
speak up for yourself. There you go. There you
go. And that's exactly pretty much the John Cena
Honorable model. Yeah the motto of his career
and that right there I'm gonna stop because we
gotta go we have talked to our sponsor right
now we're gonna come in and talk to Nikki because
I know Nikki's a huge John Cena fan and We're
gonna get to the final match. He had this past
Saturday, which was... It was not what anyone
expected. It wasn't what we expected, but we
are going to get into that in any degree. So
those of you watching, make sure you share, follow,
because this conversation is going to get freaking
deep. So we're going to our sponsors right now.

doing all the great deeds out there in Annibird,
Texas. But yeah, we're coming back with Nicky
right now. We are going to talk about something
that happened, but it was this past Saturday
night. I'm not sure we watched events or not,
but I'll reel you in so you can hear some of
the crazy. crap that happened. First of all,
one of them that I really didn't really appreciate
too much, but I understand why they did it was
the Cody Rhodes and forgot the name of the other
wrestler. Do you remember that? I forgot his
name. He's from NXT. He's from NXT, another big
wrestler, also champion. Awesome match. Bo, I
don't know, just say it man, just say it. There
you go, overfed me, there you go. He came out,
great match. Massive beat down, both of these
guys went at it. Heel toe, heel toe all the way
through the match. Unfortunately, McIntyre comes
in and pretty much screws up the whole damn thing.
I kinda had the visual on what Triple H was going
for. considering that both champions, none of
them wanted to show weakness. So he kind of like
played it down the middle to where they're great
champions on both NXT and WWE. Cuz the one from
NXT is big. He's a big boy. Yeah, he's. He's
a big boy, dude. Literally, bro. It's like four
of you, dude, in one. Yeah, dude. Sounds sexy
as hell, man. But yeah, dude, that guy was freaking
huge, dude, huge. The other match to what we
talked about the ladies match that was a good
one. I know the Dragon Lee with AG Styles and
the other two guys that came up one from NXT
one from TNA I believe was it from TNA? No, one
is a champ one is a champion I believe in TNA
I think and the other one is a wrestler at NXT
Great high flyers, man. Crazy, crazy match. But
the match of the night that everybody's still
discussing from Saturday was the John Cena versus
Guther. Personally, I was kind of upset in a
way. I understand. I understand the way of the
wrestling industry, how it's supposed to go out
when you're at your last match. You're going
to lose. Yeah, those of you don't watch you all
don't know you're gonna lose. That's the way
it goes. That's the way it rolls I mean go back
to the Ric Flair's when Sean Michaels super kicks
him not that he looks at him. They're crying
He says I'm sorry knocks him out pins him hugs
him and he walks out. That was it That was end
of Rick's career in W which is kind of bullshit
because he wouldn't go versus someone else So,
you know Rick is not wasn't your last night But
this match This one was a roller coaster match.
I mean, let me have your field Nikki. What were
you thinking when you saw? When the John Cena
era? Started not when it started, but when the
Johnny Cena match started that night, what were
your intentions to watch? What were your intentions
to deep down inside? What did you feel that would
happen? I knew he was going to lose. I just didn't
know he was going to lose the way he lost. So
when I saw that, I was just upset, overwhelmed,
sad. Kind of depressed. Well, your dad's saying
that you cried. I did cry a lot. It was like,
I felt like it was a breakup, but worse. Dude,
I mean, it was pretty sad, bro. If you watch
the match, if you go back and replay the match,
watch it tonight, it'll chance you. It was a
great match. You can see he was the traditional,
dare I say, and I don't like mentioning his name
though, he was a hero of mine growing up. Hulk
Hogan, where he was getting beat down and the
shaking of the arm happens and he's getting back
up, he's getting the power from the fans. You
saw that and it brought back a lot of memories,
a lot of nostalgia to it. But the way it ended,
to me, it wasn't enough. And yes, and yes, Chris,
I did see the video. I didn't see it with Gunther
where he came out talking that he was in shock
also the way he went out. You know, it was just
the last minute change by Sina where he's getting
choked, sleeper hole choked hold. And what kind
of like was the icing on the cake for me on the
show was for you, Nikki, is the face he made
at the camera when he tapped out. It didn't settle,
it didn't set. Right, I took it in as like John
Cena saying it's okay to give up and He didn't
give up for like a lot in his career. So being
his last match I feel like it was okay for him
to like give up right one time Yeah saying I'm
sorry to the camera. Yes. That's what exactly
it looked like that I'm sorry to the people it
was like Way of saying chewed like you can't
win them all. Yeah that kind of Ending, you know,
yeah, I mean consider the fact he still works
for w he's gonna be in like the things like an
ambassador now for Something like that a spokesman
or ambassador now for different venues, which
is cool but uh Going to that night. Did you have
a platform what you want it to happen? What did
you see? Because I have a tendency of looking
at a match. OK, this is going to happen. I mean,
did you have anything in particular that you
said to yourself? This is going to happen. I
know it's going to happen. And it just I honestly
went in watching the match. I thought it was
going to be really boring because I'm not I don't
get into Gunther's matches. It's just boring.
Thank you. So I honestly thought it was really
boring. But then like it went on. And I was like,
okay, it's okay. But you didn't have any expectation
like a prediction? No, not really. The thing
about Gunther Chu and the way Triple H says it
is so true. He gives that old traditional slugger
wrestling, the old 70s, 80s. Slug arresting the
clothesline the stomp they jumping off the road
was knocking you out the slaps. That's it But
that's all he does and I feel like he he went
into the sleeper a lot. Yes too many times exactly
It was no change -up. Go ahead. You were using
no I was just I was just having a thought that
It feels like you know going through is gonna
be like the big push now Yes, you know like how
they did with Sina I know that there was some
controversy there towards the end of his career
where they were really pushing him out when he
was to story just wasn't popular. Yes anymore
It kind of feels more like that because I get
it like you say, you know, it's the end that
you're you're Retiring right then. Yeah, you're
gonna lose but I mean this time it really just
felt like a business decision, right? Right,
you know cuz John Cena is still gonna be a part
of WWE, you're not going anywhere. He's still
an employee. So this is just like a business
move. It kind of really cheaped it. It would
have been great if they broke the mold and said,
hey, you know what? You get this one this time,
buddy. You're going to go out and chat. Everyone's
going to cheer. Everyone's going to feel good,
feel like the good guy won and everything. And
they couldn't even do that. Yeah. And I understand
what you're saying. The push that he gave Gunther.
Not everybody hates his ass. Yeah. And that's
what he wanted. Yeah. I mean, he gave him what
he wanted. Everybody freaking hate. Come on.
You heard the crowd came. Fuck you, Gunther.
You suck. You asshole. Everything that went back
to the raw era, the raw is war era. The attitude
era. It was so it was some Kurt Angle lives.
Yes. Yes. Yeah. So I feel like he can like. now
he's like, oh yeah, I'm finally the bad guy.
Exactly. Because before you didn't really, we
didn't really care for him. Exactly. They're
just there. Yeah, he just showed up there. And
now they actually show emotion to his character.
Right, right, right. So I feel like it did the
job. But part of the thing is that, like, what's
his personality? Like, what is Gunther, you know,
like? The ring general. Yeah, and I understand
what you mean. I get the gimmick. It's just...
For me, I mean, the evolution of wrestling has
grown so much from the slugger, to the air, to
the attitude, to the aerodynamic, you know, and
it is, you know, the whole bar being up each
other, you know. I understand it needs to, the
evolution of it needs to grow. but you're bringing
something and this is and i hate to say this
guys and if you guys i'm about to say something's
gonna piss you off i'm sorry i hate the fact
a couple years ago you had the roman reins and
the brocklessner they kept on shoving it down
your throat they kept on shoving both wrestlers
down your throat until you liked them you kept
on shoving and shoving and shoving until finally
we said Okay, let's look at Roman. All right,
let's look at Brock Lesnar. All they're doing
was exactly, thank you very much, the money.
That's what they wanted. That's what they try
to do with Austin Theory. Yes, yes. Now he's
back. Now he can go away. He's back. He's better
away. He's back. I thought when he unmasked himself,
I was expecting, oh my goodness. This guy. I
personally there were so many scenarios. I was
going through my head. What should happen next?
There's a lot of contracts ending at the end
of the year So my point when John's up there
holding up, you know saying goodbye to people
y 'all to hear y 'all make it here break the
walls coming out because Jericho's contract is
up for a W I Thought he was gonna come on Toshina.
Nah, you got one more and we're doing in a WrestleMania
Even the fucking bears go over my freaking arm
when I say that. That's what I was thinking.
That was one scenario. The other scenario was
that it was going to be an all out riot. That
somebody was going to come in and start beating
up on him. Then CM Punk was going to come in
and help him out. Another goon through, I mean,
what's his name? I can't remember his fucking
name. Anyway, it's another guy. Someone else
come in. Yeah, Kaiser coming in, trying to beat
him. Then the freaking Cody Rose comes out and
beats him up. And then all of a sudden, where
everything's said and done, Cena standing in
the middle room. Here comes the rock. Puts him
on the rock bottom, stands over him and then
send him off. Just like that. Just like that.
Send him off. You know, his foot on his chest.
And then, you know that, you know, he's nobody.
I'm the main guy. That's what I thought was going
to happen. honestly but you know those are fantasy
endings you kind of try to predict you're like
that would be pretty cool like the whole juggle
thing i also thought you know i freaked out when
i saw dov ziegler i fucking flipped i flipped
when he got in the tournament i'm like what the
hell i was hoping he would win to be honest but
no and i see you're saying your dad's over here
saying uh predict almost every outcome of my
daughter always get pissed off Yes, I'm the same
way you and you and I are gurus to this dude
I'm telling you right now because I don't think
he'll will go back to WD well the thing about
it Chris There's a lot of speculation going out
right now that he wants to retire already and
the only one way to out retires again to the
Hall of Fame So he wants to go into our thing.
He's gonna come back not for a whole year Maybe
for a couple of matches just to get in, you know,
that's what most of these wrestlers do You know,
they come back they come to the big biz and they
try to get into the Hall of Fame and then they're
done. And they don't come back for a lot of money.
They come for the least amount just to get their
butts in the Hall of Fame. That's the sad part,
you know, but they're definitely not doing any
international. No, no shit. Now, here's the big
question, Nikki. Do you honestly think January
is coming around? Roll Rumbles coming up already.
They're going to start announcing inductees into
the Hall of Fame. Do you in your heart believe
that? John Cena will be inducted into this Hall
of Fame. Oh, yeah, no doubt. No doubt. He has
to I feel like there's Not that's not even a
question. I feel like it's just It's an easy
it's common sense. Yeah, like you put he put
effort into his career Yeah, he did. He put a
lot of his consummate WWE guy He was committed
Yeah, he was. And the sad part is that when he
went bad, he felt he felt that he is guilty for
doing it. Yeah, he said that he felt such he
felt like shit seeing these little kids that
would come John, he would just turn away and
walk away. And it killed him man. They're like
dude, I can't believe I'm doing this to these
two little kids That's why he switched so bad
went back to the good face Face instead of being
the heel and I see though. I'm gonna get mad
at you right now, dude I'm gonna get mad to Brock
Lesnar announces his retirement. Oh, yes, he
did. He announced it Do I give it one shits about
no, I don't know. I do not What's your point
not stand the guy? Come on you come to the ring
You come to the ring, you got three fucking moves.
That's it. Yeah. Suplexity. Bitch. Suplexity.
F5. And then the other one is a spear. That's
it. Since you acknowledged me. Oh my God. No,
no. That's the main reason why they let Sima
tap out together. Because just like... Rob breaking
the stick. Who can carry that deep? And then
you have Rob walking out. Turn off the show,
yeah? Exactly. Now, here's a question, Nikki.
Do you think, and I'm just throwing it out there,
because now he's calling himself the man who's
making wrestlers retire, OK? Do you think Gunther's
going to be the one? in the picture to retire
every freaking wrestler that's planning to retire.
No, I don't think so. In other words, in other
words, the Randy Orton version as the legend
killer. I don't think I don't think he can be
compared to Randy Orton. And that's another one
that's going to retire soon. Yeah. And AJ Styles.
They're slowly. I don't think he can retire all
of them though. I'm just telling you, freaking,
Randy took off quite a few legends. I hope Brock
Lesnar breaks Gunther's arm, that way he can't
rest my arm. That's what I hope. I don't know,
man. I think I liked Brock Lesnar when he first
came in to WWE in SmackDown. He was very good
on the mic, one. He was very good at it. He was
not afraid to take backflips, swan dives, back
when it was at that era. He was really good at
it. I give him plus. I find cowboy Brock really
cute. Okay, this podcast is over. This podcast
is really over now. It's gone way too far ahead.
No, but I've, like I said before, I don't...
I don't get the Brock thing, but before then,
great wrestler. Now it's like, to me, and I hope
Brock's not gonna look for my ass, but I believe
personally, he got a little bit too big for his
bridges. That's what I'm saying. Consider the
fact New Orleans, when he fought Roman Reigns
again, the last morning match, people, I was
there at the event live. Where there were the
fans were yelling this match sucks Through the
whole entire match chew this match sucks this
net through the whole match Which when he leaves
with the check because he pins a Roman that match
he walks out with a championship belt walks into
gorilla and literally throws the belt to Vince
And he just takes off. So that right there, that
tells me this is an arrogant son of a bitch.
I go, what the hell? You know, I actually kind
of admired him for that. Like, fuck you, Vince.
He has balls to say that to his boss. Yeah. Yeah,
I understand that. I understand that. So but
like I said, so Mickey, what's OK, I'll get to
that question right now. Chris, I see that. The
Brock Lesnar thing happening. Yeah, I know he's
going to retire. I did see that coming. You know,
you have AJ coming up, you got Randy that's thinking
about it also. These are all basically wrestlers
that were in the Attitude Era that are slowly
coming into their final destiny. Except for AJ,
he wasn't really in the Attitude Era, but what
was Randy and Brock? They came into their last
era. Yeah, they came into their last era already.
Well, they're 30 dude shit, they're just hitting
the wall. Hey man, if Ric Flair can do it all
the way to his 60s, dude, they can do it. I don't
think Ric Flair's doing it. I think you're standing
outside his house with two people. I think that's
Ric and his physicals. No, but yeah, so your
prediction for this Hall of Fame inductees, you're
predicting John Cena to be inducted this time
around? Yes. Okay, we'll keep that in mind. And
when it comes up, if it doesn't come up, we're
gonna call you out. We're gonna call you out.
No, you know what? I'm a cut rock listener. I'll
make sure he answers. We're gonna have Mondo
call you. I already blocked him. That would be,
that would be so crazy, man. He shows up, I'm
gonna slap him. There you go. I tell you right
now, that was - We're both hands this time. I'm
a little Scott on show. That would be the most
sickest freaking phone call that I would get
on the podcast from Brock Lesnar himself and
call him yelp. Look at that asshole, he's like,
come kick my ass. I'll be literally shitting
myself getting that phone call. First, excited
because he's on the podcast, and two, he's going
to kick my ass. So here's another question from
Chris right here, so Nikki what's in store for
2026? Which is actually a good question that
was gonna ask that was in store for 2026. Yes,
ma 'am I'm getting some new gear getting worked
on. Okay. And then followed by that new gear,
I'm getting a new merch line. So we're working
on new merch. There you go. And then within those
new merch, well, we're going to have 10 to 20
soccer jerseys. Really? Custom made. Nice. Special
edition with my autograph on them and everything.
Nice. And then I have a couple matches starting
in January. Okay. And then I think I have one
in February also. And then I'm going to Houston
in March. Oh, you got your schedule out already.
Yeah. That's awesome. And then May. I think that's
a good spot that you're in right now as far as
Austin base. You're right smack in the middle
of Texas. And you, hey, there's a matching Dallas.
Boom, you're out there. A matching, boom, you're
out there. El Paso, a little bit of drive, but
I can get out there. And then something in the
valley, you already got home base down here.
Boom, come down here. And that's amazing, man.
And then I'm going to train more. Now that I'm
starting to get the groove of school, I hope
next semester I can clear up more of my stuff.
Go train with Rudy Boy. That was the next question
I was going to ask. If by any chance in the future,
do you plan to actually head out there and, you
know, meet up with Rudy or Micah and join that
school to get more involved? Well, I've actually
trained with them a couple of times already.
So like. Every weekend, every other weekend,
I'll go out to San Antonio and train with them.
Awesome. Try. Try to go. No, I hear you, I hear
you. I don't know. This past semester finals
kicked my ass. I was just like, I don't know
what to do. I hear you, I hear you, yeah. But
hopefully next semester it's easier. There you
go. Train a lot more. Come back. and be a better
version of myself. There you go. That's well
put. Good job. Yeah. Guys, if you want to follow

In the springtime. Okay. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.
Yeah. No, I'm telling you, man. Yeah. So, I mean,
so that was actually one of the questions I did
want to ask you about your training with with
Reboy because he had quite a few stories and
he was, if you go back and watch, I'm pretty
sure you went back to watch that podcast. He
talked quite a bit about you and so did Micah.
They both, they were like very impressed because
if we get her on the right track, she could be
something big coming up. Pretty quick. Well,
actually, they said, like, she hits so hard.
It hurts so bad. But yeah, but anyways, Nikki,
I want to say, first of all, thank you so much.
Turn back on. Turn back on. Thank goodness. And
that's the first thing I told her when she got
into the podcast. We told you. We told you it
was going to get high. I did not believe it.
Yeah. So just give it some time. When we shut
that sign off, you guys see it's going to get
a little bit, because the conversation gets really
good and starts flowing and people start talking
more and it accumulates heat and go, it's going
to get warm here. So be prepared. But no, like
I was saying before, thank you so much for taking
the time to come out. Have a good time with us,
man. It's been it's great to see you. It's great
that you're still trailblazing not only down
here, but you're slowly making your way. around
the state of Texas. Hopefully I can expand more.
Yes, branch out. You need to branch out. Yes.
Work on my brand. There you go. Get my name out
there. There you go. And it's going to get out
there. It's going to get more people are going
to start watching and everything. So you don't
worry about that. It will get even push you further
where it has to go. I have another bet as we
see. Oh, he says, I've seen Rudy's matches on
YouTube. Yes, I have too. Yeah. Have to man.
I have to have actually see where JBL kicks his
ass because he crossed the border That was that
was classic But Nala Mickey, first of all, like
I said, once again, thank you so much for taking
the time out of your busy schedule to come and
join us again for our third time. And I'm pretty
sure it's going to be our fourth time later now,
in other words. Yes, yes. Really? All right.
Six, seven. All right, turn off the show. Take
her off the camera. No, but yeah, having you
out here doing what you do best is wrestling,
entertainment, and all that good stuff. Having
your fans following you everywhere you go, even
being recognized at the supermarket. That's gotta
be a trip, man. That's gotta be a trip. That's
how you know you made it. The only time we get
recognized is when there's a bum on the street
and he's saying, wearing a hat. That was a great
night. That was a great night. He walked out
and I go check out this cap dude. He's wearing
our cap. And he goes, hey, you recognize that
cap? And he goes, let me see your cap. Does this
look familiar? And he says, hey, that's you guys.
So I get a marker. I sign it. He sign it. And
this guy goes, well, make sure you want to sign
it. And I was like, look at these assholes. They
fucked up my cap. These fucking assholes just
messed up my brand new cap. I found this in the
gutter and everything. I found it in the trash,
I went through that. Now I'm really going to
throw it in the trash. I thought it was both
of you. You know you made it when a bum throws
your fucking cap away. Oh my god. No, big shot.
Good guy, man. God bless him where he's at. But
no, once again, thank you so much. Take your
time. Come out here. Have a good time with us.
