00:02THEN
00:08NOW
00:17FOREVER
00:24TOGETHER
00:30TOGETHER
00:39THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING TO FIX
00:40YOU FIX SOMETHING, SOMETHING BREAKS
00:42AND WHEN YOU FIX IT IN THE END, ANOTHER BEEK BREAKS
00:45OKAY, BUT YOU LOVE PROJECTS
00:46YOU'LL FIND SOMETHING THAT'S NOT WRONG WITH THE BIKE
00:49AND YOU'LL STILL FIX IT
00:51I JUST LIKE WORK ON MY HEADS
00:52I'M DONE
00:52WE'RE GON
00:57DID YOU DO IT?
01:01WE'RE GOOD
01:04SON
01:05GO TO THE FUTURE
01:05YOU CAN BECOME A SUPER CRASHMARKER
01:10FIRST CHILD
01:11THAT'S A STEP
01:11I FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT
01:13AND HE WAS AT
01:14WHAT WERE YOU DOING?
01:15YOU WERE AT TV TUESDAY?
01:16WE WERE FILMING FOR A SHOW
01:17YOU WERE FILMING FOR A SHOW
01:18AND I FACETIMED HIM
01:19DIDN'T EVEN
01:19HE WAS LITERALLY COMING HOME IN AN HOUR
01:21AND I FACETIMED HIM
01:22I'm like, I'm pregnant, literally just told him what.
01:24I'm in the middle of changing it.
01:25He's like, I can't talk right now, I'll call you right back.
01:27I'm like, what?
01:29It kind of changed my perspective, right?
01:31Because, you know, there's more at stake than just my career.
01:36It's my family and our life.
01:40In this industry, it's like nothing's really certain.
01:43Your Daredevil style got you to LFG.
01:46Yeah, it got you to LFG.
01:49Cam made a couple mistakes,
01:50and just like that, you're taking off a show.
01:53Played from LFG for a couple weeks, maybe longer.
01:57WWE, they got a standard they got to uphold.
01:59And if mistakes happen and they can't trust you,
02:02they're not going to put you in those situations.
02:03To be on TV, to continue to push their brand
02:06because it's a business and you got to be able to perform.
02:11It's not always going to go my way.
02:13But at the end of the day,
02:14as long as you can continue to stay focused
02:18on what's most important in life,
02:19I don't want to let these two down.
02:24Come on, talk to them.
02:27Let's go, yeah.
02:28We're all here to be decent.
02:30We're here to be great.
02:31When the bell rings, it's not about being nice anymore.
02:34If I was Shawn Michaels,
02:35you guys would be on NXT tomorrow.
02:36It has to happen now.
02:39You don't have to wait to see who gets called up.
02:41They can go at any time.
02:42The future is indeed now here on LFG.
02:53LFG continues.
02:54Booker, Bubba, good to see you guys.
02:56Thanks.
02:56Terry Taylor, he's going to be with us this week.
02:59My senior coach, a man that needs no introduction.
03:03Ladies and gentlemen, at 238 pounds,
03:07Terry Taylor!
03:09Nice slam by Terry Taylor.
03:12Started in the business in 1979,
03:15and it's been a heck of a journey.
03:1747 years.
03:18I've been here in NXT 14 years.
03:21Longest I've ever been anywhere.
03:22So, yay me.
03:24I can't say enough good things about Terry Taylor.
03:27He just knows how to deliver the message
03:30right between the eyes, but with love.
03:33Let's get down to the matches, all right?
03:35Got the three good ones.
03:36First match, Booker T.
03:38A woman you know, you've seen her on the past two seasons,
03:41Bailey Humphrey.
03:42She's going against Nikita Lyons.
03:45Nikita, she's going to be the ring general on there.
03:47She's been here for a minute.
03:49She's leading a talent that doesn't have a ton of experience.
03:51And Bailey's, like, right there.
03:53We all know that Bailey's got that it factor.
03:56Hopefully a match like this can put her over the top.
03:58Our second match, Chris Island,
04:00a veteran of LFG versus Tate Wilder.
04:03Terry, I'm going to have you take this match tonight.
04:05Yes, sir.
04:05So what would you like out of this?
04:07So, listen, Chris, he would change his character.
04:09New addition to his wardrobe every week.
04:12And I told him, stop worrying about your character.
04:15Let me see your personality.
04:17So you want to see the real him, have him relax?
04:19I'd like to see the real him, yeah.
04:20Enjoy the moment?
04:21With emotion?
04:21Yep.
04:22And then you've got Tate Wilder.
04:24We've seen him, Terry.
04:25He's against it, man.
04:26He's hungry.
04:27He's coachable.
04:28A hard worker.
04:29A hard worker.
04:30My concern with Tate is he gets bored with the basics.
04:34And that is just so important.
04:36He can do a lot of athletic stuff for a man his size.
04:39I don't want him to get comfortable thinking that's the way to do it all the time.
04:42Gotcha.
04:42And finally, Bubba, someone you are no stranger to, we'll have Xena Sterling versus Chantel Monroe.
04:49You're working with these ladies.
04:50I'm sure you'll do your magic on that.
04:51And I think we're all in agreement here.
04:54I love Xena Sterling.
04:55She's been here for two and a half years now.
04:57But.
05:00I've had the same Xena Sterling for two and a half years.
05:03And Xena's having a tough time of showing us anything else but that bubbly girl that she continues to be.
05:09And then we've got someone like Chantel Monroe.
05:11She is a great athlete learning the business of professional wrestling.
05:15I want her to dial it up a little bit.
05:18Like really go there and show me this personality that you're trying to bring out.
05:22Xena the wrestler is a hell of a wrestler.
05:26I think Xena without the character is mighty.
05:29So then what would that be?
05:31What would that look like?
05:32Authentic reaction.
05:33Exactly my point.
05:34Don't play wrestling.
05:35Exactly my point.
05:37I do agree with you and hopefully we can see some version of it in this match.
05:40Hopefully they all knock it out of the park.
05:42Yes, sir.
05:43Oh, yeah.
05:44LNG on three.
05:48The matches are set and now it's time for Nikita and Bailey to meet with Coach Booker.
05:54Booker.
05:56What's going on, girl?
05:58How you doing?
05:58I'm amazing.
05:59How are you?
06:00Oh, man, I'm doing real good.
06:01You got a big test with Bailey Humphreys.
06:05Yes.
06:06I mean, she's not as experienced as you are.
06:08You're going to be the ring general in this match.
06:11You're going to have to go out here and dart all our I's and cross all our T's in this
06:15match.
06:16Nikita has perhaps, you know, more talent than any woman in that locker room.
06:22She really does.
06:23But, you know, she's got that showbiz mentality.
06:26She wants to sing.
06:27She wants to dance.
06:28She wants to flirt.
06:29Yeah, I know who I am.
06:31I'm living my truth.
06:32Tell me I can't do that.
06:33I'm going to make a comeback.
06:35And there's a time for all of that.
06:36But the timing has to be right.
06:38I got to say it.
06:40Even though I, I don't know, I don't know, I guess a certain part of your character makes
06:48my eye roams this way when I should be looking this way.
06:52And it's because of your sex appeal.
06:53All right.
06:54You got to be able to dial it back.
06:56All right.
06:56You got to, you got to be able to dial it back for me.
06:59Yes, sir.
06:59All right.
07:00I don't want you to lose it.
07:01Right.
07:02All right.
07:02I don't want you to lose it at all.
07:03Yeah.
07:04But we got to be able to dial it back.
07:06Okay.
07:07Booker T's a great, great storyteller.
07:09And his advice was to find the balance.
07:12Like, sprinkle in the little, like, sensuality lioness, divine feline.
07:17But then also, I know how to bring in.
07:19That's big cat.
07:22Hey, Coach Book.
07:23Hey.
07:24How you doing?
07:24How you doing?
07:25Good.
07:25It's been a minute.
07:26Yeah, it's been a minute.
07:27How you feel?
07:28Really good.
07:29Really good.
07:29Yeah.
07:29It's been a good few months.
07:30The end of season two, that was pretty tough for me.
07:33Danny, you're moving on.
07:35Because I really thought I would move past the first round.
07:38And unfortunately, I didn't.
07:40And so, I kind of had to change my mindset.
07:42I've just been training really hard and focusing on my aggression.
07:46And also, kind of switching my role into more of a baby face role.
07:49Which has been completely different than what I've been doing for the past two seasons.
07:53This season, it's not going to be about you just going out there and doing it.
07:59Right.
07:59This season is going to be about you going out there and learning it and knowing it.
08:04I really need to get Bailey to believe in herself.
08:06You got to be able to laugh at yourself.
08:09You got to be able to go all the way over the top.
08:11She's not just letting herself go when she's out there.
08:14She's not just feeling.
08:16She's trying to think her way through it.
08:17And that's not going to work.
08:18I'm ready to do my part.
08:19Are you ready to do your part?
08:20I'm ready.
08:21Are we ready?
08:21Mom, let's make movies.
08:22Let's get in the ring.
08:23Let's go to work.
08:23All right.
08:24Thank you.
08:25Five, four, three, two, one.
08:30Bailey.
08:31Action.
08:33Time for some action from our women's division.
08:36The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
08:41Introducing first from Chandler, Arizona, Bailey Humphrey.
08:48It's our first look at Bailey Humphrey this season here in season three.
08:52She was a favorite, though, J.B.
08:54I don't think I'm wrong with that last year on season two.
08:59Certainly a favorite of The Undertaker.
09:01A lot of influence there.
09:03A lot of teaching.
09:03A lot of coaching.
09:04And now taking that and putting it into good work here in season three.
09:10Let's see what Bailey Humphrey brings to the table.
09:12I'm liking this matchup.
09:14McClatch of Stiles for sure.
09:29And her opponent from Los Angeles, California, Nakia Williams.
09:38We have seen her here this season on LFG.
09:42She felt to Kelly Armstrong earlier looking to bounce back in what would be a big way you hit on
09:47it moments ago.
09:48This is truly two alpha females getting ready to do battle here on Legends of Future Greats.
10:00We are back on LFG as Nikita Lyons and Bailey Humphrey face off in the center of the ring.
10:06Well, J.B., when you break it down and you take a look, size, strength, you go back and forth
10:12between the two.
10:13Two of them are not going to back down.
10:15Two of them are going to go to the base.
10:16Who has the advantage in this matchup?
10:18Well, I got to give the style points going to go to Nikita Lyons.
10:23No question about it.
10:24Raw strength, raw power, brutality.
10:28Got to give it to Bailey.
10:29As you said, Clash of Stiles both bring a completely unique and different moveset to this matchup.
10:35You got to give the striking to Nikita Lyons, some would say.
10:39There you go.
10:40Way to work the three dimensions, baby.
10:42Way to work the three dimensions.
10:44Love it.
10:46Talk about the striking.
10:47I have seen the videos when she goes to the punching bag.
10:51Nikita Lyons can throw a hook, a jab, an uppercut like nobody's business.
10:56You got to wonder what it's going to take to maybe knock down, knock out Bailey Humphrey
11:01as a little feeling out process early on in this matchup between these two women.
11:07Get it out!
11:08What?
11:09Oh!
11:11Oh!
11:11Oh!
11:12Oh!
11:18Humphrey right now didn't get overpowered for a moment, maybe got outsmarted.
11:22Big kick right between the eyes, and those strikes on display.
11:25But Nikita Lyons doesn't need to be showboating right now.
11:27You don't get awarded points on Stiles here in LFG.
11:32Should have stopped there, Bailey.
11:34Come on, Bailey.
11:35You got to take your time.
11:43I can't imagine going into the cover, first of the matchup, hook of the leg.
11:48I can't imagine what these two women are feeling right now knowing that someone like Booker T is looking on,
11:53knowing that somebody like Bubba Ray is somewhere around here along with Shawn Michaels.
11:57One Bailey, can't sit on your ass as a baby face.
12:02Because you got to remember, as we talk about every single week, what makes it different this year in Season
12:073 is any match, any moment, any second can change your life with a contract that sees you walk through
12:14the door of NXT on Tuesday nights.
12:18And I'll tell you what, it's gone at a much faster pace than we even anticipated here so far in
12:24Season 3.
12:24Wow, they're right away from that.
12:27Well, unique offense as only Nikita Lyons can provide and execute.
12:32And I don't think Bailey Humphrey has been in the ring with somebody like a Nikita Lyons.
12:37If you really think about those she has faced in the first two seasons on this program, she's taking on
12:43someone in Nikita Lyons that has been under the bright lights.
12:46Has been in a couple of different tournaments, has had opportunities, but really right now for Nikita Lyons, this is
12:52that breakout moment she could be looking for.
12:54It certainly is.
12:56When you talk about bringing something to the table, I can honestly tell you this, there are no two female
13:01athletes like these two in the ring right now at the Performance Center.
13:04Both bring such a unique style and sensibility to the ring once the bell rings.
13:14Just a question of if, not a question of if, it's a question of when for a lot of people.
13:19The coaches both peg these two to be very successful if they can maintain, be healthy, obviously, and maintain that
13:26work ethic.
13:28Sky is the limit for both Nikita Lyons and Bailey Humphrey.
13:43Nikita Lyons right now trying to turn things around and looking for an old-fashioned abdominal stretch in the center
13:50of the ring.
13:51And Humphrey right now, there is a look of concern almost on her face as she is getting tied up.
13:56She is going to have to power her way out of this hole.
14:07Damn it, timing, timing.
14:10Trying to get the hip toss, maybe didn't get all of the revolution that she was looking for.
14:15As Nikita Lyons is able to come right back with a strike going for a front face lock.
14:18And Nikita Lyons right now just got countered with a suplex.
14:21And maybe this is now the rally for Bailey Humphrey that she's been looking for.
14:38Wait a minute, where'd she get in position?
14:40All right, beautiful.
14:41She just hit a moonsault at Humphrey.
14:43Lyons kicked out, but we always talk about the strength of this woman.
14:47We got to talk about the athleticism.
14:50I'm not sure I believe what I just saw.
14:52That was brand new from Bailey Humphrey.
14:53Looking for the power bond.
14:54Lyons able to counter.
14:55Big knee right to the stomach.
14:56And remember the body shots earlier in the matchup.
14:59Lyons going right back to work.
15:01Big swing and miss on the kick.
15:02Oh, got caught.
15:11Bailey, victorious.
15:13Here is your winner, Bailey Humphrey.
15:19And with the main event still to come, has Bailey done enough to possibly put herself into the main event
15:26picture on LFG?
15:29How do you feel about it?
15:36I feel like we took the beats.
15:38Yeah, yeah.
15:38I was remembering that it was some territory.
15:41Keita definitely had to be the general in this match.
15:43And I must say, she did a hell of a job water backing that thing.
15:48Bailey, how do you feel about it?
15:51What do you think you could have improved there?
15:53Slow down.
15:55Exactly.
15:55I need you to pantomime more.
15:58Like, I need you to grab her here, stop, pick her up, here, stop, grab, in a position, step, bang.
16:10I need all of that done in motion, in steps.
16:12If you walk over here, to walk over here, to walk back here, I need that action, all right?
16:18Other than that, I thought you got to a really good job.
16:24Here's some things I want you to think about as you go forward.
16:26Yes.
16:26You're a big body.
16:28You're a big body.
16:29On that lockup right there, we're going to get to you back into the corner, but you're not steamrolling you
16:34there.
16:35Like, to me, you've got to put the brakes on.
16:36Like, you're Nikita Lions, dude.
16:38You're a big body as well.
16:40And like, and you putting the brakes on right there gets the people to go, oh, and then Bailey?
16:45No, babe.
16:45And then she goes.
16:46So you're telling that story.
16:47But then later in the match, you're just giving her snap suplexes.
16:50Like, it's easy.
16:53I think if you, if you told me a story that it was more tit for tat up front, I
16:57get you throwing her.
16:58But she just bullrushed you back.
17:00And she just tackled you and you dropped down.
17:02Like, you're not, you're not as big as I imagined you to be, but now you are.
17:05Yeah.
17:06Okay.
17:07Does that resonate?
17:08It didn't line with the story.
17:10We're trying to have that shock factor, but sometimes it's better to just have that slow build.
17:15So that was his main note.
17:16Dude, I think you're selling on your feet has really improved.
17:18And I, I agree with Booker that you can bring an entertainment to that right now as well
17:22and not make it so stoic.
17:24But like, you're selling on your feet really well right now.
17:26That's something that I know Taker's talked to you about or we've talked about.
17:28Like, you're getting better at that.
17:29So the reps, reps, reps, that's what you need right there.
17:32I feel like in season one and season two, I was kind of in this box, you know, and I
17:36was
17:36so green and so inexperienced and I still am and I have so much to learn, but my confidence
17:41and my aggression and my intensity is, is more than what it was before.
17:45And so I'm really excited for y'all to see it.
17:47Nice job.
17:48Nice job.
17:48Hey, did those hurt at all?
17:50The spikes at all?
17:50Did you talk about that?
17:51Oh, yeah.
17:52No, they don't.
17:53Oh, yeah.
17:53The first thing I noticed when you said it to me.
17:55I didn't think it did.
17:56All right, good.
17:57Good.
17:59Nice job.
17:59Thank you, Coach.
18:00Thanks, Coach.
18:01Wait.
18:02Oh.
18:03Oh, my God.
18:05Thank you.
18:06And this man, the rock is coming.
18:12The Rock, the Hogan, quite frankly, a match I thought I would never, ever see.
18:21Tate i Chris
18:22Neither one of them had seen
18:24One of the most famous Wrestlemania matches of all time
18:27Wrestlemania 18
18:29And it was a great learning tool
18:31Because Hogan's the master
18:32And you know The Rock was the apprentice
18:35Terry pulls up Rock and Hogan
18:37And he's like
18:38This is how you tell a story
18:40Watch Hogan's face
18:42When The Rock hits him
18:45Rock throws Hogan to the ground
18:47And Hogan gets up
18:48And his face just shows like shock
18:50That's the story
18:52Watch his face
18:52How could you do that to me
18:55This is where your stories are told
18:56And that arena is going crazy
19:00Listen
19:01When they make noise when you're not moving
19:03You're doing it right
19:04Is that the only thing you guys can't do
19:08No
19:09There's so many learning moments in that match
19:12The audience like was taken on this ride
19:15That at the end of it's like
19:17Holy crap
19:18That was great
19:18They don't care who wins or loses
19:20It was just
19:21They felt a certain way
19:23And that's what we are
19:24We're in the feeling business
19:25Not the wrestling business
19:40I tried two seasons back to back
19:43And what I was trying to do just wasn't working
19:46I had to do a lot of self-reflection
19:48You're always going to get feedback
19:50I'm okay with looking dumb
19:52I'm okay with falling on my face
19:54I'm unapologetically me
19:57Remember Hogan and all that
19:59If you throw him off
20:00You've got to glorify him
20:01Yeah, yeah, yeah
20:02If you watch that Hogan rock mask
20:05Hogan gets up
20:07Hits a whole flex
20:08Gets neck flexion in
20:10Who cares about the moves
20:11It's about before and after
20:13That's what Terry showed us
20:14Look at each other
20:15Then react
20:16Boom, look at him
20:17Yeah, I got you
20:18Then, okay, go
20:19Boom, leave him
20:21They're trying to figure out
20:23How to emote
20:24In a way that the audience
20:25Sees anger
20:27Sees joy
20:28Sees pain
20:29In a way that's authentic
20:31And not just put on
20:33What people see them playing wrestling
20:35Yeah
20:36Y'all ready for a while, Brad?
20:43The following contest is scheduled for one fall
20:46Introducing first
20:47From Gilbert, Arizona
20:49Weigh in at 230 pounds
20:52Take Wilder!
20:55It's a man who was in the main event last week
20:58Certainly opened up some eyes, JB
21:01Kate Wilder
21:02In a very short time
21:04After overcoming injury here
21:05At the Performance Center
21:07Has come back with a vengeance
21:09And really has impressed a lot of people
21:10In a very short amount of time
21:13You get in the ring
21:14The adrenaline and the emotion
21:16Is just unbelievable
21:18I have to tell myself
21:20In that time
21:20Bring the emotion
21:22Make it gritty
21:23Unless you stop some fun
21:27Kate Wilder
21:28Versus Chris Island
21:29Is up next
21:33Welcome back to LFG
21:34There you see Chris Island
21:36Making his way to the ring
21:37As Booker T
21:38Looks on from the back
21:40Book, I'm sorry
21:41But all I'm looking at right now
21:42Is a guy in jeans
21:44Look at the same guy
21:45We've been seeing
21:46Since day one
21:47Same guy
21:49That's just a dude in jeans
21:50And sneakers, Book
21:52It was the same thing
21:53We've been seeing, man
21:55I want to actually go back
21:56To last season, JB
21:58If you remember
21:58He came out in shorts
21:59For the next week
22:00He came out karate style
22:02Now jeans
22:04I mean, I see what he can do
22:06In the ring
22:06It's very impressive
22:07That's why he's here
22:07On season three
22:08But is he still searching
22:10To find himself
22:24Well, look
22:25I'll be the first to say
22:27Fashion is certainly objective
22:28No question about it
22:29But when you're talking
22:30About ring gear
22:31Also objective
22:32Booker T
22:33Obviously take exception
22:34To that
22:35Bubba
22:35Sees a guy in jeans
22:36That's what he sees
22:37Can it work?
22:39I mean, I guess we're
22:40Jeans shorts
22:41Works for John Cena
22:41You know, there are exceptions
22:43To every rule
22:44But I think one thing
22:45That we've seen
22:46Over the course of time
22:47Is when the bell rings
22:48You can't get it done
22:48You can wear what you want
22:50You can dress how you want
22:51Bottom line is
22:52You've got to get it done
22:53In the ring
22:54When the bell rings
23:00Early on in this matchup
23:02You've got to wonder
23:02What someone like
23:03Terry Taylor is thinking
23:05A man who put this matchup
23:06Together
23:07Years of experience
23:08I think when you hear
23:09From Bubba
23:10And you hear from Booker
23:11And you talk to
23:11Some of the coaches
23:12Chris Island is someone
23:13Who's still trying to
23:14Live up to the potential
23:14Of why they
23:15Initially brought him in
23:16He also knows that
23:18Eyes are on him now
23:19Eyes are on this match
23:21More eyes are on LFG
23:22Than ever before
23:22Because it's a lot different
23:24Than the previous seasons
23:25He's been a part of
23:26This is our first look
23:27At him here on season three
23:28He's got to come to the grips
23:29With the fact that
23:31This match can make or break him
23:32This match could be
23:33The five, six, seven, eight minutes
23:35That give him a contract
23:36That change his life
23:43We've seen that here
23:44On season three
23:45Where a newcomer
23:46Will come in
23:46And leapfrog
23:47A perennial favorite
23:48From previous seasons
23:50Of LFG
23:50Tate Wilder
23:51Might be the next one
23:54When we talk about
23:55Tate Wilder
23:55This is a man
23:56Who has a lot of potential
23:58Early on
24:00As you've already highlighted
24:01A very short time
24:02Has turned things around
24:03As Island
24:03Back in control
24:04Of this matchup
24:05And do you get a sense
24:06Of frustration
24:07Within Island
24:09I know we can sit here
24:10And talk about
24:10What he's wearing
24:11And Booker T
24:12And Bubba
24:13Can talk about
24:14Jeans and shoes
24:15But do you get a sense
24:16That this man is just
24:18Frustrated as well
24:19Well he's finding his way
24:20And that can be
24:21A frustrating journey
24:22Cover
24:22Hook of the leg
24:25But I think Chris Island
24:26Is persistent
24:27And I think Chris Island
24:28Is trying different things
24:29And coming back
24:30And if it doesn't work
24:31Then try something else
24:32That's what you have to do
24:33And while Booker T
24:34Is admittedly hard
24:35On Chris Island
24:36I think the evolution
24:37Of Chris as a human being
24:38Has been there
24:39And been measurable
24:40Is it enough
24:41We're going to find out
24:55Chris Island is staying
24:56Right on top
24:57Of his opponent
25:00Trying to show
25:01That he has learned
25:02From season one
25:03To season two
25:04Here
25:04In season three
25:05In a belly to back
25:07Suplex
25:07Perfectly executed
25:09Deep hook of the leg
25:10Still not enough
25:11To get the victory
25:18I already told you
25:19I'd do this
25:21I already told you
25:23Come on
25:34It certainly has
25:36And something else
25:36We talk about Chris Island
25:38The same can go
25:38For his opponent
25:39In this matchup
25:40Does mindset go a long way
25:42Here on LFG
25:43It certainly does
25:44It's half a battle
25:46And obviously getting
25:46The physical side
25:47Of things done
25:48Is very important
25:49But it's also just as much
25:51A mental game
25:51And it's those guys
25:52Like Booker T
25:53And Bubba Ray Dudley
25:54That have not only
25:55Been physically successful
25:57Once the bell rings
26:05But mentally as well
26:06Mentally tough
26:07Mentally strong
26:08And knowing what it takes
26:09To be better
26:10Just a little bit better
26:10Than everybody else
26:11Tate Wilder firing back in
26:13Ducking the clothesline
26:13Picking up some speed
26:14Charging in
26:15And taking down
26:16Island
26:16Right back
26:17Island goes down
26:18Wilder now
26:19Finally getting out
26:20Of the gate
26:20So to speak
26:21And picking up
26:22A little bit of fury
26:23Getting a little bit of fire
26:25Trying to get
26:25A win under his belt
26:28After last week
26:28And ooh
26:29High impact offense
26:31Might have been a bad
26:32Landing for Chris Island
26:33But Wilder now
26:35Moving Island
26:36Into position
26:47Here is your winner
26:48Jake Wilder
26:54What a win
26:58Tell you right now
26:59Got more of an upside
27:01Already
27:02Some brutally honest words
27:03There from Booker T
27:04What you doing
27:05Big victory
27:06For Tate Wilder
27:07Back to the drawing board
27:08For Chris Island
27:09Frustrated with his loss
27:10Obviously
27:11And a big win
27:12For the Texan
27:13Tate Wilder
27:23Here is your winner
27:24Jake Wilder
27:31When you hit a backbreaker
27:33One of those big
27:33Devastating finishes
27:34Why do you do it
27:35Wrestling
27:36To win
27:37Why don't you cover him
27:38Immediately
27:38I got you
27:39Yes sir
27:40You hit him with those
27:40Wonderful beautiful moves
27:42And then you just sit there
27:44And as an audience member
27:45I go
27:46You hit that big move
27:46But you're not trying to win
27:47Yes sir
27:48And that takes me out of it
27:49Urgency right
27:50You hit that move
27:51And the reason you do that
27:52Is I got a second opening
27:54I got to get out of here
27:54Yes sir
27:55But when you sit there
27:56And then you just kind of roll over
27:57I'm going
27:58He's not trying to win
27:59Yes sir
27:59You do your comeback
28:00You got to be
28:01What's your last name
28:03Wilder
28:03It turned it up
28:04That's what you have to be
28:05100%
28:06Posting along
28:07Yeah
28:07Doing the forum
28:14That stuff's fine
28:15Yeah I need to turn it up
28:16There's a lot of excitement
28:18And emotion
28:18And intensity
28:19Sir
28:20You're just gliding along
28:21Yeah
28:21Your last name
28:23Yes sir
28:23Wilder
28:24Yes sir
28:25That was quite clever
28:25If I say so myself
28:26A lot was really good
28:28But the main stuff
28:29That you didn't do
28:30Is the stuff that you have to do
28:32To get to that
28:32I understood
28:33Yes sir
28:34Yeah
28:34Terry had some great things to say
28:36But he also shut us down very quick
28:38He did say it was a solid match
28:39But we didn't hit the emotion side
28:41Take this match
28:42And you know
28:43Put it into the arsenal
28:44And try to take all I can
28:45From what Terry said
28:46And utilize it
28:47Into my next match
28:51So I took some notes dude
28:52As I always do
28:53Listen
28:55Love you brother
28:56Yes
28:56Who the f*** was that guy tonight dude
28:58That was the guy
28:58That was just screaming
28:59And yelling
29:00And yeah
29:06Intensity and volume
29:06Are two different buttons brother
29:08First time I met you
29:09Unless you falsely
29:10Represented yourself
29:11You were this bundle
29:12Of high energy
29:14Like a gas tank on you
29:16A mouth on you
29:17But I didn't hear you screaming
29:19Yeah
29:19Like
29:21And right away now
29:22I'm taken out of it
29:22It's fake to me
29:24Loom really got on me
29:26It's my first time
29:27That I've ever been told
29:29Okay Chris
29:29You crossed the line
29:31Like you went a little far
29:32When you scream at me too much
29:34I'm out of it
29:35Like I don't want anyone
29:35To sit there screaming at me
29:36Dude the stuff you guys did tonight
29:38Was the cleanest
29:39I've seen you executed dude
29:41But we're storytellers
29:42We're not stuntmen dude
29:43Alright
29:45Thank you man
29:46Thank you
29:47You guys feel good
29:48Body feels good
29:48Good
29:49Well done
29:50Thank you
29:51I've gotten literally
29:53The same feedback
29:54For almost two years now
29:57You know
29:58Like it definitely
29:58Got frustrating
29:59Like I definitely
30:00Plateaued
30:01And I definitely
30:02Hit a wall
30:03I'm such a
30:04Passionate person
30:05That I refuse
30:06To accept that
30:07I know that
30:08What I bring to the table
30:10They won't find
30:11Another one like me
30:12And since I know that
30:14I need to now
30:15Get them to know
30:16And I might be
30:16Starting a little late
30:17But I'm starting
30:22For tonight's main event
30:24Coach Bubba
30:25Has two future greats
30:26Making their season debuts
30:28LFG veteran
30:29Zena Sterling
30:30And newcomer
30:31Chantel Monroe
30:32My name is
30:34Chantel Monroe
30:35And I'm from
30:35Sarasota, Florida
30:37I did gymnastics
30:38For almost 20 years
30:39I went to Auburn
30:40And I was recruited
30:42At nationals
30:43I haven't been wrestling
30:44For a long time at all
30:46It's only been two years
30:47You and Zena
30:48Have a match
30:50You're going into this
30:51As the
30:53Bad guy
30:54The bad girl
30:55The heel
30:56The task this week
30:58For me was
30:59They wanted to see
30:59A personality switch
31:00So Chantel Monroe
31:02She's a diva
31:03She's stylish
31:04She's glamorous
31:04But they also wanted
31:05To see that switch
31:06Of me getting nasty
31:07And getting down to business
31:08When I needed to
31:12Being a heel
31:14Is about
31:15Your intent
31:15To want to
31:16Hurt the baby face
31:19Embarrass the baby face
31:21Be in control
31:22Of the baby face
31:24Zena is back
31:25After two seasons
31:28This is my third season
31:29Of LFG
31:30I found out
31:31I'm working with Bubba again
31:32And obviously
31:33I'm stoked
31:34Because he's always been
31:36The coach that I've
31:36Clicked with the most
31:38I need to see
31:39Some kind of
31:40Fire
31:41And aggression
31:42And anger
31:43And vitriol
31:45Out of Zena
31:47Chantel needs to
31:48Take Zena in the ring
31:49And beat the
31:50Out of her
31:51And make her fight
31:52For her life
31:52For the first time
31:53I want to see you
31:54Turn into a complete
31:57Bitch
31:58The other word
32:00Bad levels
32:01Bad levels
32:02Okay
32:02Me and Zena
32:03Wanted to have
32:04A slap moment
32:04I told Bubba
32:05I was like
32:05I want to say
32:06Something here
32:06But I'm just not sure
32:07And then out of nowhere
32:08He goes
32:09Eat this Barbie
32:11Bitch
32:12And I was like
32:14Yes
32:14Like that's exactly
32:15What I'm going to say
32:16So sometimes you think
32:17You have to do
32:17Way more than that
32:18Maybe like tricks
32:19And flips
32:19You got to do
32:20All this cool stuff
32:20To get a reaction
32:21But it could just
32:22Be something so
32:23Simple
32:52The time has come
32:53Go be that heel
32:54Go be that heel
33:23That Coach Bloom
33:23Women here in a matter
33:24Of moments
33:24Inside that ring
33:25Well these two
33:26Deserve this main event
33:27Stage here on LFG
33:29Zena Sterling
33:30A lot of people said
33:31Should have won season one
33:32A lot of people said
33:33Should have won season two
33:34Is she on track
33:35To do it
33:35In season three
33:36Well Chantel Monroe
33:38May say differently
33:39We're about to find out
33:40In our main event
33:53The following contest
33:54Is scheduled for
33:56One fall
33:57Introducing Merce
33:58From Sarasota, Florida
34:01Chantel Monroe
34:04Chantel Monroe
34:05Remember has it
34:06You taught her how to do
34:07This strut
34:07You taught her how to
34:08Swing those hips
34:09And you taught her
34:10How to apply
34:11Well I won't get into
34:12That with you
34:13But you know what I'm saying
34:14How to look glamorous
34:15If you will JB
34:16Is that true?
34:18I don't look in the mirror
34:19Too much these days
34:19But I'll tell you what
34:20Chantel Monroe
34:21Likes to
34:22The reflection
34:23Of perfection
34:24Ladies and gentlemen
34:26Our main event
34:27Continues next
34:31Welcome back to LFG
34:32Nina Sterling
34:33In the ring
34:34Ready to face off
34:35With Chantel Monroe
34:36In tonight's main event
34:43Miss Monroe
34:44Got an attitude
34:44To her
34:46Zina just bubbly
34:47Zina just happy
34:49To be here
34:56When you talk about
34:57Shawn Michaels
34:57You talk about
34:58A Hall of Famer
34:58Like Bubba Ray Dudley
34:59And everyone else
35:00Is she where
35:02They need her to be?
35:04Do they think she
35:05Can still grow more?
35:06Are they still challenging her?
35:07Is she willing to accept
35:08Those challenges?
35:09I mean that's the questions
35:10That would be running
35:11Through my mind
35:12If I was Zina Sterling
35:13Is what else can I show you?
35:15But at the same time
35:16What else do I need
35:17To show you?
35:19Well that's certainly
35:20One thing that Coach Bloom
35:21Has always said
35:22That I think is just brilliant
35:23One thing that makes
35:24A talent so special
35:25Is the ability
35:26The teachability aspect
35:28To be able to be taught
35:30And Zina Sterling
35:31Has showed that
35:32From day one
35:32Since stepping into
35:33The performance center
35:33The question is
35:34Coachability
35:36Teachability
35:36Being able to listen
35:37And take direction
35:38And advance yourself
35:39That's what she can do
35:44Come on
35:45You want to play?
35:47You can't have fire
35:48Down here Zina
35:49Go back to season one
35:51Go back to season two
35:51Talk about everyone
35:52We've seen this season
35:54There is that coachability
35:55There is that drive
35:56There is that passion
35:57And there is that
35:58Will to learn
35:59But also
36:00All these athletes
36:01Want to go through
36:02The grind
36:03They all want to be special
36:04They all want to be
36:05Future greats
36:07Right to the midsection there
36:08My word
36:09Hey let's talk about
36:10The accolades real quick
36:11Of Chuck's home
36:12In real life
36:12I mean we're talking about
36:13A seven time All-American
36:15We're talking about
36:16The one and only
36:17National champion
36:17In gymnastics
36:19To emerge from all
36:20I mean this woman
36:21Has the credentials
36:22The pedigree
36:23Has done it
36:24Has been to the big stage
36:25Oh
36:26And now looks to do it
36:27And LFG
36:27And compete here
36:28For an opportunity
36:29To make it to NXT
36:31Tiger Claws
36:31Just came out
36:32From Monroe there
36:34For a moment
36:34And there is a lot
36:35Of upside
36:35To this happening
36:47Joe we got the people
36:48We got the people
36:50Girls
36:51Monroe's got a little
36:52A little bit more confidence
36:52Than some
36:53You saw by the way
36:54She came to the ring
36:54How can that confidence
36:55Help an aspiring superstar
36:58Well certainly
36:58It's important
36:59Everybody has to have it
37:00You have to have some
37:01Into the cover
37:02Buck of the leg
37:03And a kick out
37:04Not a lot though
37:04On that kick out
37:05From Sterling
37:06Just got that right
37:07Shoulder off the mat
37:08There's always a difference
37:09Between confidence
37:10And arrogance
37:10And obviously
37:11I would say
37:12Chantel Monroe
37:13Has a little bit of both
37:14In all the best ways
37:24Certainly what we've seen
37:25So far
37:25Very impressive
37:26You know with Zena Sterling's
37:28Background on LFG
37:29We've seen two seasons
37:30She does not want to be
37:31Leapfrogged by somebody
37:32Coming in here
37:33100%
37:34And stealing the spotlight
37:36The spotlight that she's earned
37:37As two seasons have given her
37:39On this program
37:39Now into the third
37:47She called her a Barbie bitch
37:51That's called awaking the beast
37:53Zena might be awake now
38:01And this is what you were talking about
38:03She's been in these deep waters
38:04She's been in these battles
38:05This is what gives her the advantage
38:07In this matchup
38:08She was able to weather the storm
38:10Early on
38:10And now look at that
38:11Suplex
38:13And it's Zena Sterling
38:15Who's fired up
38:17And it's that fire
38:18It's that fire
38:19That they've been looking for
38:20It's that fire
38:21That they've been
38:22Asking Zena to show
38:23Time and time again
38:26Oh right to the face
38:27The official though
38:28Not in position
38:29He was behind
38:31Zena Sterling
38:32Didn't see the rake of the face
38:34Into the cover
38:35And a victory
38:36For Monroe
38:38Shocking
38:42Good job girls
38:44Good job girls
38:45And I don't blame the official
38:47Who is trying to get out of the way
38:48And maybe
38:49Ahead of her time
38:51So to speak
38:52Wise beyond her years
38:53Saw the opening
38:54And in real time
38:56Right here
38:57Ripping at the face
38:59Opening the door
39:00And then connected
39:01With a code breaker
39:03To pick up a victory
39:06And some would say
39:07Jeremy
39:08An upset
39:09Here on LFG
39:11Certainly was
39:11Shot to Elman Rowe
39:13Congratulations
39:13And you gotta wonder
39:15What is the career path now
39:16For both these women
39:18As we continue here
39:19On LFG
39:33How do you think you did
39:34Both of you
39:35I could have done better
39:36What could you have done better
39:38Um
39:39Strikes
39:39I think pacing
39:40Could have been better
39:40Um
39:41In certain places
39:42Obviously
39:43Some things that
39:44Can be touched up
39:45With us with every match
39:46But I'm very happy
39:47With our showing today
39:48And
39:48Now you ready for the brutal
39:50Honest truth
39:50Yes
39:51Only
39:51Okay
39:53I thought you guys
39:54Did really really well
39:57From the second
39:58You went out there
39:59I was like
40:00Look at this chick
40:03Who the frick
40:04Does she think she is
40:06But that's a good thing
40:07Yeah
40:09I'm watching that monitor
40:11But I'm feeling
40:12Your swagger
40:14I'm very hard on myself
40:15And sometimes
40:15I get a little down
40:16On myself
40:17So sometimes
40:17It's really good to hear
40:18Oh you're doing a great job
40:19Like you're
40:19You're going in
40:20The right direction
40:22Your goal
40:23Was the gear shift
40:25And the fire
40:25I can't see fire
40:28Here
40:29This
40:30Doesn't show fire
40:32This is small
40:35Hi
40:36Okay
40:36Gotcha
40:37It has to be bigger
40:39Yes
40:40It has to be bigger
40:41Okay
40:41Zina still has to work
40:43On that aggression
40:44We need to tighten
40:46The screws
40:46Right there
40:47For Zina
40:48On her
40:48Level of physicality
40:50In her comeback
40:51The gear change
40:53The fire
40:56You need to step up
40:58Your game
41:00Okay
41:01That gear
41:02Needs to be hit
41:03A lot better
41:04Okay
41:05You don't like that
41:05No it's not that
41:06I don't like it
41:07It's just that
41:07It's not enough
41:10There's so much
41:11That I've been
41:11Working on
41:12And training
41:13These past few months
41:14And I have been
41:15Improving in the ring
41:16A lot
41:17But I'm not too happy
41:19With how I came across
41:20And showing that improvement
41:22Which I know
41:23That I have made
41:24So
41:27I don't know
41:29I don't know
41:31She's athletic
41:32She's hungry
41:33She's driven
41:34But something's missing
41:36With her
41:36I'm not sure what it is
41:38But us as coaches
41:40We're trying to encourage
41:41Zina to give us
41:42Something different
41:43I don't blame
41:44Sean and Coach Bloom
41:45For not moving her forward yet
41:47You gotta earn the right
41:48To move forward
41:49Zina still has some way to go
41:50Zina still has some way to go
