002: First Ever Interview
002: First Ever Interview
🕘 From in a big corporate building to finding myself in a dinky studio with Bruce Allen. He was an old classmate of mine and while I ended up becoming a stuntwoman, before becoming a wrestler now, he ended up being an independent online interviewer…so kinda like a Dave Meltzer type but without star ratings I think. Though we are still friends, so there is no one else I feel comfortable with having my first ever interview as a professional wrestler with as he waits until I motion that I’m ready for him to start speaking. 🕒
“What’s cracking guys? BA Styles here on my Styling Podcast and today’s subject is about the rebirth of WCW. A juggernaut that has been slummering for over twenty years but now it is back. Is this iteration worth the shot in the dark or does it deserve to be shot behind the shed? Discussing this subject with me is today’s guest, WCW first acquisition, Layla Lavoie.”
“Thanks for having me here.”
“The pleasure’s all mine, Layla. Well mine and my listeners, heh. A few days ago you competed in the very first match of the reborn WCW…how did you find the experience”
“Honestly? I found it to be pretty cool. Like not only was I the first person, male or female, to be signed by WCW but also won their very first match…by defeating the crueling Mantaur.”
“Talking about your victory over Mantaur…how do you think him and other people would feel that, unlike everyone else on the show, you won by countout instead of pin fall?”
🕘 Yeah…totally saw that question coming a mile off. Though at least the seats Bruce provides are very comfortable as I chuckled with an amused tone of voice before answering. 🕒
“I doubt anyone would really know how Mantaur feels…though I’d understand if other people have their grumbles and mumbles about how questionable my way of victory is but what people need to understand is that, at the end of the day, I won. Like Winston Churchill once said…‘history is written by the victors’ and I don’t care what I need to do…I’m going to be the one who wins this tournament and become WCW’s first World Champion.”
“Yeah…but to advantage to the finals, you first have to find a way to get past Sebastian Truegrove, who himself has made a relatively better impression on the WCW fans by defeating David Arquette in such an emphatic fashion.”
“No offence to David but surely defeating an actor is nowhere near as impressive as conquering an actual beast. Do I sound dismissive of Sebastian? So what if I am? Lavoies always aim for the top and, by hook or by crook, I’m going to be the one at the top of the WCW mountain, no matter how many toes I have to stamp or trample on to get there.”
“Considering the history of those who have been on that mountain top before you…do you think that, if you do indeed become World Champion, you can do well compared to those of the past?”
“Honestly speaking? No, I don’t see myself doing well compared to those from the past.”
🕘 Oh god I can feel such a big smirk crawling itself across my face. 🕒
“I see myself doing so much better. This ain’t the nineties or noughties, this is the twenties and, while I do respect the hard work of those that came before me, the people of those days should stay at their retirement homes and enjoy the bingo as, starting at the end of the month, I’ll be dragging WCW screaming and kicking into a new life. One where greatness isn’t hoped for, or even prayed for back in those dark old days…but expected as I’ll give nothing less than my very best to bring wash away the mistakes of the past with the greatness that will be a Lavoie lead WCW.”
“Don’t you think it might be dangerous to potentially annoy Vince Russo by potentially referring to his time as ‘dark old days’?”
“Hell no. If anything I’m sure that he’ll be grateful at how perfect his WCW will be with me, The First Lady of WCW, at the helm as its Ace as I will not only crush ‘England's Finest’ Gremlin but also showing the rest of the WCW roster their place underneath my banner.”
“Very strong words from Layla Lavoie…but don’t go away for to long as, after this commercial break, we’ll be going through our late predictions for this year’s FIFA Women's World Cup.”
🕘 What is it with Bruce and his late predictions? I couldn't help but chuckle though, especially since he always finds a way to amuse me, as he presses a few buttons before taking his headset off and looking over towards me with a more chilled look on his usually calm face. 🕒
“In all seriousness though, Layla, congratulations on your debut…what did Zelda think of it though?”
“Not sure to be honest, every time I try calling her all I keep getting is her voicemail.”
🕘 Now we both find ourselves laughing at this. Zelda is such a bitch…but at least I ain’t the only one she seems to ignore at an almost abusive level as I get off my ass and head off in the direction of a bathroom. What? It’d be very unprofessional to suddenly jump off air to go take a piss when a commercial break is available. 🕒
