Behind the Scenes: Birthday Kindness in Wrestling
As wrestlers, we live for the moments that electrify the crowd, but behind the scenes, it’s the little acts of kindness that truly stick with you. A simple cupcake, a heartfelt card—those small gestures reminded us how important it is to celebrate life’s little moments, even when things are tough. I may not have the […]
Joshua & Kris Statlander
Joshua had fallen head over heels with Kris Statlander, it was so obvious to everyone around! He’d talk about her with this huge smile and a sparkle in his eye. At one point, he got so excited he asked me if I could help him get one of her shirts. I was like, “Alright, Joshua, […]
Joshua- You’re CEO’s New Bodyguard?
I had a bit of fun with Joshua while we were at the event, too. I jokingly told him to play bodyguard and keep an eye out for the other girls, knowing he’d take his “job” very seriously. But, in true Joshua style, he turned the tables right away! The first thing he did was […]
Featured Wrestle Side Hustle: Marandan Renea Makeup
I’ve always been super picky about my makeup. When I first joined AEW, Marandan came up to me, totally confident, and said, “Give me a chance; I’m really good at this.” So, I did, and honestly, she’s been slaying my looks left and right ever since! She’s not only super creative but also amazing at […]
Joshua’s Message: ‘Wrestle Saraya!’
This week was extra special because I got to be back in BO$$TON/New England with Dynamite in NH, as I said, and Collision in Providence, RI, and even made a surprise appearance for NJPW in Lowell—more on that later. Being back in Boston, in any capacity, just fills me up; there’s something so comforting about […]
Hazuki, Koguma, Anna Jay, Trish Adora: Fatal Four Way
Sitting backstage, I watched an incredible #1 Contender’s Fatal Four Way Match featuring Hazuki, Koguma, Anna Jay, and Trish Adora. They put on an amazing show, with the crowd totally hooked. Hazuki came out on top, outsmarting everyone for the win. Hazuki is hard-hitting, agile, and throws deadly boots to the face, but there may […]
Meeting Oly
I’ve been following the amazing IAMUPSYNDROMEQUEEN on social media for a while now, and when I found out she’s from Massachusetts, I reached out to her mom with a special invite for their family to join us at AEW Dynamite in Manchester, New Hampshire. They were so excited! It turns out Oly is a huge […]
Tony Schiavone’s Dynamite Birthday
Moné Memory: Private Party & Amazing Red
Being reunited with the Boys in Private Party last week was so great. While there is nothing currently in the works as far as a faction or collaboration, I have been watching those boys come up since they were young fans training with Amazing Red at the House of Glory Wrestling School. I first met […]
Wrestle Snow Days & Newbie Culture
My team and I were talking about the recent hurricane that hit my home state of Florida. Besides coming up with a new side hustle of tornado food delivery, I was really grateful that my home was fine during the recent storm. That got me thinking about how the weather has affected wrestling shows and […]
