Transcript

00:00 I'm gonna hear from what culture with the one and only Tasha Stills Tasha. How are we today?

00:04 I'm doing good. But see you gotta say the impact knockouts

00:07 world

00:09 champion the greatest

00:11 That beat the greatest. Oh

00:13 That's how we gotta do it. I know I need to apologize to you

00:16 I may have called somebody else the impact world champion. Okay, it was an accident. It was Giselle Shaw

00:23 I didn't mean to say it. It was a slip of the tongue. So I need to apologize to you now

00:27 I didn't mean it, you know, she she's she's a dreamer

00:30 She likes to dream and she thinks that she's did not impact knockouts world champion, but in reality

00:34 It's your girl Tasha

00:37 Okay, but I did want to apologize as we do have you here today, it's all good

00:41 This is why she is the greatest knockout champion of all time

00:45 But you must be on cloud nine right now because I remember I got way so so back into impact in

00:51 2021 obviously doing the tag team thing

00:53 But now you've come out of your own and not only have you established yourself as a single star

00:57 But you are the champion and most people when they sort of plan out their wrestling journey would say well

01:03 That's a good way to go about it. So you must be over the moon. I mean, it's great

01:08 I said I would say less than a year of me coming out on my own being a single star

01:13 I get into this big hot few with Mickie James, by the way, she's

01:19 But I beat her not once but I beat her twice so I beat the legend which made me the greatest that beat the greatest and

01:27 She just got to sit home. Oh, wait, but wait, wait, wait, cuz Chelsea green, you know, Chelsea and her

01:32 They thought they were like this and so she thought she had friends and I mean, she's a veteran

01:36 She's 20 years in this business and you don't know that there's no such things as friends in this business Mickey

01:41 Chelsea turned on her

01:44 Unfortunately, they're no longer friends. That's what she did send her off on her way. I just

01:48 Did all that and now I'm the greatest that beat the greatest and I will be forever the knockouts world champion

01:55 Doesn't that worry you a bit because if there's no friends in wrestling does that mean you have to keep everybody at arm's length?

01:59 Oh, I keep I keep people more than arms. I keep them to arms length legs

02:04 I keep them further away. I mean, you know Deanna and I were really close. We're really friends

02:09 But at the same time she's the champ champ. I'm the champ. And of course, she's got some titles that I want too. So

02:15 She's not your friend either. She's not my friend. No, does she know that?

02:19 She'll find out once I take her title. She'll find out have we just spoiled

02:23 Not too much not too much, but if she sees it then it's okay

02:27 Okay

02:28 And also how is it an impact wrestling right now because I always say no matter when you tune in

02:32 You just get impact wrestling knows exactly what it wants to be and then every now and then they do this crazy stuff

02:37 Which blows my brain, but I think it's absolutely excellent

02:39 But that must be really good for you because I feel like it never surprised a good way

02:43 And there are surprises in the story

02:45 But in terms of the tone and in terms of the feel impact wrestling really understands what it is

02:49 I think it helps performers because you can establish a character you can introduce it to everyone and like you've said go on these sort

02:55 Of flights of fancy where you kind of operate within this length

02:58 Have you found that's something they've intentionally done over the last 12 months or do they just give you the performance?

03:03 How much creativity that you can be as natural as you want to be or over the top depending which way you want to go?

03:09 Well, they know I carry all the flavor

03:12 I mean since 2020 I said I'm bringing all the flavor to impact because I feel like that's what impact was missing some flavor

03:18 Some flavor for 20 years impact has done it all they're very unpredictable, but people they doubt impact

03:25 But then here we go. We show up with some good shit. So I

03:29 Said that they were missing some flavor in 2020

03:32 Tasha steals brought the flavor to impact and I continue to bring the flavor to impact and not only did I did that?

03:36 Fire and flavor brought the tag titles a little bit more

03:41 flavorful if that's

03:44 It definitely is

03:46 Do you miss the tag team stuff at all? You done with it now over finished zero done

03:50 You know, I'm at the top of the knockouts mountain

03:52 And although there are times where I feel like, you know

03:56 I do want to kick back a little bit, but at the same time being the knockouts champion

04:01 I'm the leader the girls they look up to me. They have to follow what I do, even though they can't I mean

04:06 They don't have this flavor so they can't but if I feel like one time I want to go and get a tag title

04:13 I got a partner already

04:14 So there is no problem with me

04:17 Stepping down off my throne to go grab that extra title and bring it back up to my castle

04:22 So I'm good, although you are an impact and we have a history for this

04:26 So not only can you remain the knockout champion you will become a tag champion

04:31 But you could also become the impact world champion a female performer has held that before

04:36 So why don't you but why is that should be your goal?

04:40 Because I don't want moose to kick my ass

04:42 You kick his ass

04:46 It's moose. It's moose. Moose is he's he really don't give a fuck about

04:52 Anything or anyone? I mean, did you see what he did to poor Josh Alexander's wife Jade?

04:57 She I'm smaller than her. What do you think is gonna happen to me? I'm

05:01 I'm just trying to back you up here as well

05:05 If you're gonna be my backup and fight moves for me, all I gotta do is take the pin

05:09 I'll see if I am moose moose if you watching this

05:13 Tasha said that I didn't say that

05:15 If you're not gonna fight moves, I'm definitely not fighting if you're the knockout champion you better me

05:19 Yeah, I'm beating all the women though. I'm being all the women and moose is a whole different level. I

05:24 I'm good with moose the tag team knockout X division. Of course. I mean, I'm I'm the first female X division X

05:32 winner so

05:36 Yeah, I mean Trey Miguel. He's more my style. You know, I'm saying me and Trey were like right here

05:41 You know, he moves fast. I move fast. He got some maneuvers. I got some maneuvers

05:46 I think I can catch up with Trey but moose hell no

05:48 What what flavor does Trey Miguel have then cuz you've got all the flavor what flavor to see him?

05:53 I got all the flavors so he doesn't really have he's got none because she's got them all I got it all so that's that's about
