00:15Thank you for having me.

00:16You're doing our podcast, Inside the Ring podcast?

00:19I'm so excited.

00:20Did you already go in and talk to them?

00:22We're about to.

00:23We're about to.

00:24This is pre-fight.

00:25She doesn't know the questions either.

00:26Yeah.

00:27No idea.

00:27You know, sometimes when wrestlers come into this podcast, it gets a little physical

00:32in there, so just go easy on them.

00:34Okay, I'll try.

00:34No, it actually did get physical.

00:36Well, I mean, it's a wrestling podcast, so it's really physical.

00:40But you guys always win.

00:41I mean, that's good.

00:42I'm excited that Body Slam you guys threw some table.

00:44Oh, wow.

00:45Yeah.

00:46We don't have a table right now, so unfortunately, there's a big...

00:48They're the couch.

00:49Unfortunately.

00:50Is there an easy move you could show us?

00:52Like, girl power move?

00:54I could teach you how to slap a bitch or two.

00:56Oh.

00:57I could use that one.

00:58She's done some pretty slaps in WWE.

01:00Yeah.

01:02I love it.

01:03Yeah.

01:04So your husband's in WWE, too.

01:06Is he still wrestling in WWE?

01:07You guys meet there?

01:09We did.

01:10And you guys broke it.

01:12Oh, Charlie.

01:13Way back in the day.

01:15All the news.

01:17Yeah, so we met our first day in WWE, and then...

01:21Oh, am I on camera right now?

01:22Yeah, we're doing a live stream.

01:24Oh, my God.

01:26You're doing great.

01:27Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry.

01:28Yeah.

01:29We met the first day in NXT Performance Center, and we were obviously from Eastern Europe,

01:35so in American television, they pair us together.

01:38When you're from Eastern Europe, they're like, oh, bad, Madarasha.

01:40Put you in that.

01:41Put you in that.

01:41Yeah.

01:42And we're like, we're from two different countries.

01:44Where are you from?

01:45I grew up in Latvia, the former Soviet Union.

01:49Why didn't you have a zero accent?

01:51No, so she did have an accent.

01:52She could do a great accent.

01:53Her name was Lana, and she had a full character.

01:56Yes.

01:56You don't even want to know the story.

01:58Yes, we had all the matches for Mr. Putin.

02:01I know she doesn't say his name, but yes, I was Russian.

02:05I am half Russian, but I speak in a perfect American English.

02:09Well, I'm talented.

02:11Yes.

02:13I'm really fascinated.

02:14How did you just totally lose it?

02:16Okay, so, no, I grew up over there.

02:18I speak fluent Russian.

02:19I moved there when I was five, and I lived there until I was 18.

02:24Holy smokes.

02:25And I understand I'm a professional worker.

02:28That's what we say in professional wrestling as essentially a professional faker,

02:32but I really did live over there.

02:35Playing the character.

02:35Yeah, playing the character.

02:36Yes.

02:37So I lived there for 13 years.

02:38Okay, so you spoke Russian?

02:40I spoke Russian.

02:40He knows one phrase.

02:42Okay, okay.

02:42He knows one phrase.

02:43Okay, okay.

02:48I love you.

02:49I love you.

02:50I love you.

02:52I love you.

02:53I love you.

02:55I love you.

02:57I love you.

02:58I love you.

02:59Yeah.

02:59Hedgehogs.

03:00Oh, okay.

03:02I can't use that a lot.

03:04Do you love hedgehogs?

03:05My name is Harvey.

03:06My name is Harvey.

03:07Are you Russian?

03:11I did not expect that.

03:12Are your grandparents or someone Russian?

03:13My mom.

03:14But I just learned it from the schoolyard or something.

03:18Yeah.

03:19So I have a question for you.

03:20Okay.

03:21And I just love asking WWE people because I'm so invested in this.

03:25I knew Hulk Hogan forever.

03:27Aww.

03:28His legacy is really complicated.

03:31Yeah.

03:31So how do they view him in WWE these days?

03:34Well, my husband is a huge fan of Hogan.

03:37He will say that he fell to the propaganda of Hulk Hogan in Bulgaria.

03:42And that's the reason why he moved to America, because he fell to his propaganda.

03:46And now he's obviously Bulgarian.

03:48He is Bulgarian.

03:49And he always wanted to fight Hogan.

03:51But he influenced a lot of people.

03:53You know, he was one of the greatest, especially of the 80s and 90s.

03:57And that's what you watched was my dad was super Christian.

04:01And I wasn't allowed to watch wrestling, but I was allowed to watch Hogan because he said,

04:05pray and eat your vitamins.

04:06So my father also fell to his propaganda.

04:10So, you know, I know he's very polarizing, but he had a big impact in wrestling.

04:16Yeah.

04:17Okay.

04:17Go to the podcast.

04:18It's so nice meeting you.

04:20It is so nice meeting you.

04:23Really appreciate you coming in.

04:25Thank you for having me.

04:27Okay, wait.

04:27We got to get a little selfie.

04:28Oh, should we?

04:29You want to put me in a wrist lock?

04:30Oh, yeah.

04:31Oh, what?

04:32Show me how.

04:33Oh, yes.

04:33You're going to mention your podcast as well.

04:34Identity Crisis.

04:36I want all of you.

04:36Check it out.

04:37Yes.

04:37Best podcast ever.

04:38Seriously.

04:39And, you know, so you're going to take my arm and you're going to go, rah.

04:43Okay.

04:43Put your arm out.

04:44So take this one.

04:45So like this?

04:45And you're going to take it and you're going to put pressure right there.

04:49Like you're going like that.

04:50I don't want to hurt you.

04:51So like essentially, I'm going to put a little pressure on you.

04:53Oh, God.

04:54Oh, okay.

04:56Okay.

04:56So that's what you're going to do.

04:57You're going to take it and you're going to put pressure.
