In this interview Willow Nightingale talks about winning the Women’s World Title at AEW Redemption: “I think initially when it happened, I didn’t entirely process it, especially like I always feel hung over the day after I wrestle just because it’s so, like, one, I’m getting a little bit older, but two, like you really are just putting everything out there. You’re giving your all and sometimes on show day I do my best to stay hydrated, but sometimes it just takes it all out of you. It dehydrates you a little bit. So, I’m like trying to deal with physically recovering from a match like that because, Thekla, she’s tiny, but she’s tough. She gave me hell. She made it really hard for me to get this championship. And my parents were there and then you immediately get thrown into the press conference into the scrum with Tony Khan, which is exciting. I love all that. I love all the hustle and bustle. I wouldn’t be in this crazy wrestling business if I didn’t love the hustle and bustle.”
BG “Road Dogg” James seems to be having a moment right now. He claims he was rejected by AEW for his “political/core beliefs,” then he went after David Bixenspan and called him a “social warrior.” I suppose that indicates the “beliefs” he was talking about.
