00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:40There's always something to fix.
00:42You fix something, something breaks.
00:44And when you fix it again, another thing breaks.
00:46But you love projects.
00:48You'll find something that's not wrong with the bike,
00:50and you'll still fix it.
00:52I just like working with my hands.
00:54Something to work on.
01:00Did she do it?
01:00Did she do it?
01:06Is this a glimpse of the future?
01:08Do you feel like a Supercross Wrangler?
01:12First Childs.
01:13That's a step.
01:14I found out I was pregnant, and he was at...
01:17What were you doing?
01:17You were at TV Tuesday?
01:18We were filming for a show.
01:19You were filming for a show, and I FaceTimed him.
01:22Didn't even...
01:22He was literally coming home in an hour,
01:23and I FaceTimed him.
01:24And I'm like, I'm pregnant!
01:25Like, literally just told him what.
01:27He's like...
01:28He's like, I can't talk right now.
01:29I'll call you right back.
01:29I'm like, what?
01:32It kind of changed my perspective, right?
01:34Because, you know, there's more at stake
01:37than just my career.
01:39It's my family and our life.
01:43In this industry, it's like nothing's really certain.
01:46Your Daredevil style got you to LNG.
01:49Yeah, it got you to LNG.
01:52Cam made a couple mistakes,
01:54and just like that, you're taking off a show.
01:56I'm gonna pull you from LNG for a couple weeks.
01:59Maybe longer.
02:00WWE, they got a standard they got to uphold,
02:02and if mistakes happen and they can't trust you,
02:05they're not gonna put you in those situations
02:06to be on TV, to continue to push their brand,
02:10because it's a business,
02:12and you gotta be able to perform.
02:15It's not always gonna go my way,
02:17but at the end of the day,
02:18as long as you can continue to stay focused
02:21on what's most important in life,
02:23I don't wanna let these two down.
02:32We're out here to be decent.
02:34We're here to be great.
02:35When the bell rings,
02:36it's not about being nice anymore.
02:38If I was Shawn Michaels,
02:39you guys would be on the next team tomorrow.
02:41It has to happen now.
02:43You don't have to wait to see who gets called up.
02:45They can go at any point.
02:47The future is indeed now, here on LFG.
02:57LFG continues, Booker, Bubba.
02:59Good to see you guys.
03:00Yep, thanks.
03:01Terry Taylor, he's gonna be with us this week.
03:03My senior coach, a man that needs no introduction.
03:08Ladies and gentlemen, at 238 pounds,
03:12Terry Taylor!
03:14Nice slam by Terry Taylor.
03:17Started in the business in 1979,
03:19and it's been a heck of a journey.
03:2247 years.
03:23I've been here in NXT 14 years.
03:26Longest I've ever been anywhere.
03:28So, yay me.
03:29I can't say enough good things about Terry Taylor.
03:33He just knows how to deliver the message
03:36right between the eyes, but with love.
03:39Let's get down to the matches, all right?
03:41Got the three good ones.
03:42First match, Booker T.
03:44A woman you know,
03:45you've seen her on the past two seasons,
03:47Bayley Humphrey.
03:48She's going against Nikita Lyons.
03:51Nikita, she's gonna be the ring general on there.
03:53She's been here for a minute.
03:55She's leading a talent
03:56that doesn't have a ton of experience.
03:57And Bayley's like right there.
03:59We all know that Bayley's got that it factor.
04:02Hopefully, a match like this can put her over the top.
04:04Our second match, Chris Island,
04:07a veteran of LFG versus Tate Wilder.
04:09Terry, I'm gonna have you take this match tonight.
04:11Yes, sir.
04:12So, what would you like out of this?
04:13So, listen, Chris, he would change his character.
04:16New addition to his wardrobe every week.
04:19And I told him,
04:19stop worrying about your character.
04:21Let me see your personality.
04:23So, you want to see the real him,
04:25have him relax.
04:25I'd like to see the real him, yeah.
04:26Enjoy the moment.
04:27With emotion.
04:28Yep.
04:29And then you got Tate Wilder.
04:30We've seen him, Terry.
04:32He gets it, man.
04:33He's hungry.
04:34He's coachable.
04:35A hard worker.
04:35A hard worker.
04:37My concern with Tate
04:39is he gets bored with the basics.
04:41And that is just so important.
04:43He can do a lot of athletic stuff for a man his size.
04:46I don't want him to get comfortable thinking
04:47that's the way to do it all the time.
04:49Gotcha.
04:49And finally, Bubba, someone you are no stranger to,
04:53we'll have Xena Sterling versus Chantal Monroe.
04:56If you're working with these ladies, I'm sure you'll do your magic on that.
04:59And I think we're all in agreement here.
05:01I love Xena Sterling.
05:03She's been here for two and a half years now.
05:04But.
05:06But.
05:07I've had the same Xena Sterling for two and a half years.
05:10And Xena's having a tough time of showing us anything else but
05:13that bubbly girl that she continues to be.
05:16And then we got someone like Chantal Monroe.
05:19She is great athlete learning the business of professional wrestling.
05:23I want her to dial it up a little bit.
05:26Like really go there and show me this personality that you're trying to bring out.
05:30Xena the wrestler is a hell of a wrestler.
05:34I think Xena without the character is mighty.
05:38So then what would that be?
05:39What would that look like?
05:40Authentic reaction.
05:42Exactly my point.
05:43Don't play wrestling.
05:44Exactly my point.
05:45I do agree with you and hopefully we can see some version of it.
05:48Yeah.
05:48In this match.
05:49Hopefully they all knock it out of the park.
05:50Yes sir.
05:52Oh yeah.
05:53LFG on three.
05:56The matches are set and now it's time for Nikita and Bailey to meet with Coach Booker.
06:03Booker.
06:05What's going on girl?
06:06How you doing?
06:07I'm amazing.
06:08How are you?
06:08Oh man I'm doing real good.
06:10You got a big test with Bailey Humphries.
06:14Yes.
06:15I mean she's not as experienced as you are.
06:17You're going to be the ring general in this match.
06:20You're going to have to go out here and dart all our I's and cross all our T's in this
06:24match.
06:25Nikita has perhaps you know more talent than any woman in that locker room.
06:31She really does.
06:32But you know she's got that show biz mentality.
06:35She wants to sing.
06:37She wants to dance.
06:38She wants to flirt.
06:39Yeah I know who I am.
06:40I'm living my truth.
06:41Tell me can't do that.
06:43I'm going to make a comeback.
06:44And there's a time for all of that.
06:46But the timing has to be right.
06:48I got to say it.
06:50Even though I.
06:51I don't know.
06:52I don't know.
06:52I guess.
06:55A certain part of your character makes my eye roams this way when I should be looking this way.
07:02And it's because of your sex appeal.
07:03All right.
07:04You got to be able to dial it back.
07:06All right.
07:07You got to.
07:07You got to be able to dial it back for me.
07:09All right.
07:10I don't want you to lose it.
07:11Right.
07:12All right.
07:12I don't want you to lose it at all.
07:14Yeah.
07:14But we got to be the doctor.
07:15Way to put it.
07:16Exactly.
07:17Booker T's a great great storyteller.
07:19And his advice was to find the balance.
07:22Like sprinkle in the little like sensuality lioness.
07:26Divine feline.
07:27But then also I know how to bring in.
07:30That's big cat.
07:32Hey Coach Book.
07:33Hey.
07:34How you doing?
07:35How you doing?
07:36Good.
07:36It's been a minute.
07:37Yeah it's been a minute.
07:38How you feel?
07:39Really good.
07:39Yeah.
07:40Yeah.
07:41It's been a good few months.
07:42The end of season two.
07:43That was pretty tough for me.
07:44Danny you're moving on.
07:46Because I really thought I would move past the first round.
07:49And unfortunately I didn't.
07:51And so I kind of had to change my mindset.
07:54I've just been training really hard and focusing on my aggression.
07:57And also kind of switching my role into more of a baby face role.
08:01Which has been completely different than what I've been doing for the past two seasons.
08:04This season.
08:05Mm-hmm.
08:06It's not going to be about you just going out there and doing it.
08:10Right.
08:11This season is going to be about you going out there and learning it.
08:14And knowing it.
08:15I really need to get Bailey to believe in herself.
08:18You got to be able to laugh at yourself.
08:20You got to be able to go all the way over the top.
08:23She's not just letting herself go when she's out there.
08:26She's not just feeling.
08:28She's trying to think her way through it.
08:29And that's not going to work.
08:30I'm ready to do my part.
08:31Are you ready to do your part?
08:32I'm ready.
08:33Are we ready?
08:33Mom, let's make movies.
08:34Let's get in the ring.
08:35Let's go to work.
08:36All right.
08:38Five, four, three, two, one.
08:42Bailey.
08:43Action.
08:46Time for some action from our women's division.
08:49The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
08:53Introducing first from Chandler, Arizona, Bailey Humphrey.
09:00Our first look at Bailey Humphrey this season.
09:04Here in season three.
09:05She was a favorite though, JB.
09:07I don't think I'm wrong with that.
09:08Last year on season two.
09:12Certainly a favorite of The Undertaker.
09:14A lot of influence there.
09:16A lot of teaching.
09:16A lot of coaching.
09:17And now taking that and putting it into good work here in season three.
09:23Let's see what Bailey Humphrey brings to the table.
09:25I'm liking this matchup.
09:27A clash of styles for sure.
09:42And her opponent from Los Angeles, California, Nikita Williams.
09:52We have seen her here this season on LFG.
09:56She fell to Kelly Armstrong earlier.
09:58Looking to bounce back in what would be a big way you hit on it moments ago.
10:02This is truly two alpha females getting ready to do battle here on Legends of Future Grades.
10:17We are back on LFG as Nikita Lyons and Bailey Humphrey face off in the center of the ring.
10:23Well, JB, when you break it down and you take a look, size, strength, you go back and forth between
10:30the two.
10:30Two of them are not going to back down.
10:32Two of them are going to get in your face.
10:34Who has the advantage in this matchup?
10:36Well, I got to give the style points going to go to Nikita Lyons.
10:40No question about it.
10:42Raw strength, raw power, brutality.
10:45Got to give it to Bailey.
10:47As you said, clash of styles both bring a completely unique and different moveset to this matchup.
10:53You got to give the striking to Nikita Lyons, some would say.
10:57There you go.
10:58Way to work the three dimensions, baby.
11:00Way to work the three dimensions.
11:02Love it.
11:04Talk about the striking.
11:05I have seen the videos when she goes to the punching bag.
11:09Nikita Lyons threw a hook, a jab, an uppercut like nobody's business.
11:14You got to wonder what it's going to take to maybe knock down, knock out Bailey Humphrey
11:19as a little feeling out process early on in this matchup between these two women.
11:24Who do you have a hook?
11:27Come on!
11:27What?
11:28Oh!
11:29Go!
11:30Go!
11:32Go!
11:33Go!
11:33Go!
11:33Go!
11:35Go!
11:35Go!
11:35Go!
11:36Go!
11:37Go!
11:39Go!
11:43Go!
11:44Keita Lyon doesn't need to be showboating right now.
11:46You don't get awarded points on style here in LFG.
11:51Should have stopped there, Bayley.
11:53Come on, Bayley.
11:54You got to take your time.
12:02Again, I can't imagine.
12:03Oof, big body slam going into the cover.
12:06First of the matchup, hook of the leg.
12:07I can't imagine what these two women are feeling right now,
12:11knowing that someone like Booker T is looking on,
12:13knowing that somebody like Bubba Ray is somewhere around here,
12:15along with Shawn Michaels.
12:17One Bayley can't sit on your ass as a baby face.
12:22Because you got to remember, as we talk about every single week,
12:25what makes it different this year in Season 3 is any match,
12:29any moment, any second can change your life with a contract
12:33that sees you walk through the door of NXT on Tuesday nights.
12:39And I'll tell you what, it's gone at a much faster pace
12:41than we even anticipated here so far in Season 3.
12:44Wow, there.
12:45What do you call that?
12:47You call it unique offense,
12:49as only Nikita Lyons can provide and execute.
12:53And I don't think Bayley Humphrey has been in the ring
12:55with somebody like a Nikita Lyons.
12:57If you really think about those she has faced
13:00in the first two seasons on this program,
13:02she's taking on someone in Nikita Lyons
13:05that has been under the bright lights,
13:07has been in a couple of different tournaments,
13:09has had opportunities,
13:10but really right now for Nikita Lyons,
13:12this is that breakout moment she could be looking for.
13:16It certainly is.
13:17When you talk about bringing something to the table,
13:19I can honestly tell you this,
13:20there are no two female athletes
13:22like these two in the ring right now
13:24at the Performance Center.
13:25Both bring such a unique style
13:28and sensibility to the ring once the bell rings.
13:36Just a question of if.
13:38Not a question of if,
13:38it's a question of when for a lot of people.
13:41The coaches both peg these two to be very successful
13:44if they can maintain, be healthy, obviously,
13:47and maintain that work ethic.
13:50Sky is the limit for both Nikita Lyons and Bayley Humphrey.
14:06Nikita Lyons right now trying to turn things around
14:08and looking for an old-fashioned abdominal stretch
14:12in the center of the ring.
14:13And Humphrey right now,
14:15there is a look of concern almost on her face
14:17as she is getting tied up.
14:19She is going to have to power her way out of this hole.
14:30Damn it.
14:31Timing.
14:31Timing.
14:32Try to get the hip toss.
14:34Maybe didn't get all of the revolution
14:36that she was looking for
14:37as Nikita Lyons is able to come right back
14:39with a strike going for a front face lock.
14:41And Nikita Lyons right now just got countered
14:43with a suplex.
14:44And maybe this is now the rally
14:46for Bayley Humphrey that she's been looking for.
14:49Right, go!
14:50Right, go!
14:53Come on!
14:54Yes!
14:55Let's go!
14:56Come on!
15:01Wait a minute.
15:02Wait, she get in position.
15:03All right, beautiful.
15:05She just hit a moonsault at Humphrey.
15:07Lyons kicked out,
15:08but we always talk about the strength of this woman.
15:11We got to talk about the athleticism.
15:14I'm not sure I believe what I just saw.
15:15That was brand new from Bayley Humphrey.
15:17Looking for the power by Lyons,
15:18able to counter big knee right to the stomach.
15:20I can remember the body shots earlier in the matchup.
15:23Lyons going right back to work.
15:25Big swing and miss on the kick.
15:26Oh, got caught.
15:36Bayley victorious.
15:38Here is your winner,
15:41Bayley Humphrey.
15:44And with the main event still to come,
15:47has Bayley done enough to possibly put herself
15:50into the main event picture on LFG?
15:56How do you feel about it?
16:03I feel like we took the beats.
16:05Yeah, yeah.
16:06I was removed.
16:07I was so paranoid.
16:08Keita definitely had to be the general in this match,
16:11and I must say she did a hell of a job
16:14water backing that thing.
16:16Bayley?
16:16Bayley, how do you feel about it?
16:19What do you think you could have improved there?
16:21Slow down.
16:22Exactly.
16:24I need you to pantomime more.
16:26Like, I need you to grab her here.
16:29Yep.
16:29Stop.
16:30Pick her up.
16:32Here.
16:33Stop.
16:34Grab.
16:35Get in position.
16:36Step.
16:37Bang.
16:38I need all of that done in motion.
16:40Steps.
16:41If you walk over here,
16:42to walk over here,
16:43to walk back here,
16:44I need that action.
16:46All right?
16:47Other than that,
16:48I thought you guys did a really good job.
16:52Here's some things I want you to think about
16:54as you go forward.
16:55Yes.
16:55You're a big body.
16:56Right.
16:56You're a big body.
16:57On that lock-up right there,
16:59we're going to get to you back into the corner,
17:02but you're not steamrolling you there.
17:04Like, to me,
17:04you've got to put the brakes on.
17:05Like, you're the Keita Lions, dude.
17:07You're a big body as well.
17:09For sure.
17:09And you putting the brakes on right there
17:11gets the people to go,
17:12oh, and then Bayley?
17:14No, man.
17:15And then she goes.
17:16So you're telling that story,
17:17but then later in the match,
17:18you're just giving her snap suplexes.
17:19Like, it's easy.
17:23I think if you told me a story
17:25that it was more tit-for-tat up front,
17:26I'd get you throwing her,
17:28but she just bullrushed you back there.
17:30She just tackled you and dropped down.
17:31It didn't line up.
17:40We're trying to have that shock factor,
17:42but sometimes it's better
17:43to just have that slow build,
17:44so that was his main note.
17:46Dude, I think your selling on your feet
17:47has really improved,
17:48and I agree with Booker
17:49that you can bring an entertainment
17:51to that right now as well
17:52and not make it so stoic,
17:54but, like, you're selling on your feet
17:55really well right now.
17:56That's something that I know
17:57Taker's talked to you about
17:57or we've talked about.
17:58Like, you're getting better at that.
17:59So reps, reps, reps.
18:00That's what you need right there.
18:02I feel like in season one and season two,
18:04I was kind of in this box, you know,
18:06and I was so green and so inexperienced,
18:08and I still am,
18:09and I have so much to learn,
18:10but my confidence and my aggression
18:12and my intensity is more
18:14than what it was before,
18:15and so I'm really excited
18:16for y'all to see it.
18:18Nice job.
18:18Nice job.
18:19Hey, did those hurt at all,
18:20the spikes at all?
18:21Did you talk about that?
18:21Oh, yeah, they were just good.
18:22They didn't?
18:23No, they don't.
18:24I'm telling you,
18:24that's the first thing I noticed
18:25when you said it to me.
18:26I didn't think it was good.
18:27All right, good.
18:28Good.
18:29Yeah, we're good.
18:29Nice job.
18:30Thank you, Coach.
18:32Wait for several.
18:34Oh, my God.
18:37And this man,
18:40The Rock is coming.
18:43The Rock,
18:44Hogan,
18:46quite frankly, a match
18:47I thought I would never,
18:49ever see.
18:52Tate and Chris,
18:54neither one of them had seen
18:56one of the most famous
18:57WrestleMania matches of all time,
18:58WrestleMania 18.
19:00And it was a great learning tool
19:02because Hogan's the master
19:04and, you know,
19:05The Rock was the apprentice.
19:07Terry pulls up Rock and Hogan
19:09and he's like,
19:10this is how you tell a story.
19:12Watch Hogan's face
19:14when The Rock gets him.
19:17Rock throws Hogan to the ground
19:19and Hogan gets up
19:20and his face just shows
19:21like shock.
19:23That's the story.
19:24Watch his face.
19:24How could you do that to me?
19:27This is where your stories are told.
19:29And that arena is going crazy.
19:32Listen,
19:34when they make noise
19:34when you're not moving,
19:35you're doing it right.
19:42There's so many learning moments
19:44in that match
19:45when the audience
19:46like was taken on this ride
19:48that at the end of it's like,
19:49holy crap,
19:50that was great.
19:51They don't care
19:52who wins or loses.
19:53It was just,
19:54they felt a certain way
19:55and that's what we are.
19:56We're in the feeling business,
19:58not the wrestling business.
20:13I tried two seasons
20:15back to back
20:16and what I was trying to do
20:18just wasn't working.
20:19I had to do
20:20a lot of self-reflection.
20:22You're always going to get feedback.
20:24I'm okay with looking dumb.
20:25I'm okay with falling on my face.
20:27I'm unapologetically me.
20:31Remember Hogan and all that?
20:32If you throw him off,
20:33you've got to glorify him.
20:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:36If you watch that
20:37Hogan rock match,
20:39Hogan gets up.
20:41Hits a whole flex,
20:42gets neck flexion in.
20:43Who cares about the moves?
20:45It's about before and after.
20:47That's what Terry showed us.
20:48Look at each other,
20:49then react.
20:51Yeah, I got you.
20:52Okay, go.
20:54Oh, leave him.
20:55They're trying to figure out
20:57how to emote
20:58in a way that
20:59the audience sees anger,
21:01sees joy,
21:03sees pain
21:04in a way that's authentic
21:05and not just put on
21:07where people see them
21:08playing wrestling.
21:10Y'all ready for a while, brother?
21:17The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
21:21Introducing first,
21:22from Gilbert, Arizona,
21:24weighing in at 230 pounds,
21:26Tate Wilder.
21:30It's a man who was in the main event last week,
21:33certainly opened up some eyes, J.B.
21:36Tate Wilder,
21:37in a very short time
21:39after overcoming injury here
21:40at the Performance Center,
21:42has come back with a vengeance
21:44and really has impressed a lot of people
21:45in a very short amount of time.
21:49You get in the ring,
21:50the adrenaline and the emotion
21:51is just unbelievable.
21:53I have to tell myself,
21:55in that time,
21:56bring the emotion,
21:57make it gritty,
21:59and let's just have some fun.
22:02Tate Wilder versus Chris Island
22:04is up next.
22:11Welcome back to LFG.
22:13There you see Chris Island
22:14making his way to the ring
22:15as Booker T
22:16looks on from the back.
22:19Look, I'm sorry,
22:20but all I'm looking at right now
22:21is a guy in jeans.
22:23Look at the same guy
22:24we've been seeing since day one.
22:26Same guy.
22:27That's just a dude in jeans
22:29and sneakers, Book.
22:31That's the same thing
22:31we've been seeing, man.
22:33I want to actually go back
22:35to last season, J.B.,
22:37if you remember.
22:37He came out in shorts
22:38until the next week
22:39he came out karate style.
22:42Now jeans.
22:43I mean, I see what he can do
22:45in the ring.
22:45It's very impressive.
22:46That's why he's here
22:46on season three,
22:47but is he still searching
22:49to find himself?
22:56I do this!
22:58I do this!
23:01I do this!
23:04Well, look,
23:05I'll be the first to say
23:06fashion is certainly objective.
23:08No question about it.
23:09But when you're talking
23:10about ring gear,
23:11also objective.
23:12Booker T obviously
23:13takes exception to that.
23:15Bubba sees the guy
23:15in jeans.
23:16That's what he sees.
23:17Can it work?
23:18I mean, I guess we're...
23:20Jeans shorts work
23:21for John Cena.
23:22You know, there are exceptions
23:23to every rule.
23:24But I think one thing
23:25that we've seen
23:25over the course of time
23:27is when the bell rings
23:27you can get it done.
23:29You can kind of wear
23:29what you want
23:30and dress how you want.
23:31The bottom line is
23:32you've got to get it done
23:33in the ring
23:34when the bell rings.
23:35All right now, Chris!
23:36You scared me out, huh?
23:38You scared me out,
23:39got the ropes?
23:40Let's go!
23:41Early on in this matchup,
23:42you've got to wonder
23:43what someone like
23:44Terry Taylor is thinking,
23:45a man who put this matchup
23:47together,
23:47years of experience.
23:49I think when you hear
23:50from Bubba
23:50and you hear from Booker
23:51and you talk to
23:52some of the coaches,
23:52Chris Island is someone
23:53who's still trying
23:54to live up to the potential
23:55of why they initially
23:56brought him in.
23:57He also knows
23:58that eyes are on him now.
24:00Eyes are on this match.
24:01More eyes are on LFG
24:02than ever before
24:03because it's a lot different
24:05than the previous seasons
24:06he's been a part of.
24:07This is our first look
24:08at him here on Season 3.
24:09He's got to come
24:10to the grips with the fact
24:11that this match
24:12could make or break him.
24:13This match could be
24:14the five, six, seven,
24:16eight minutes
24:16that give him a contract
24:17that changed his life.
24:24We've seen that here
24:25on Season 3
24:26where a newcomer
24:27will come in
24:27and leapfrog
24:28a perennial favorite
24:30from previous seasons
24:31of LFG.
24:32Tate Wilder
24:32might be the next one.
24:35When we talk about
24:36Tate Wilder,
24:37this is a man
24:38who has a lot
24:39of potential
24:40early on
24:41as you've already highlighted
24:42in a very short time
24:43has turned things around
24:44his island
24:45back in control
24:46of this matchup.
24:47Do you get a sense
24:48of frustration
24:49within island?
24:51I know we can sit here
24:52and talk about
24:52what he's wearing
24:53and Booker T
24:54and Bubba
24:55can talk about
24:56jeans and shoes
24:57but do you get a sense
24:58that this man
24:59is just frustrated
25:00his way?
25:01He's finding his way
25:02and that can be
25:03a frustrating journey.
25:04Cover, hook of the leg.
25:07But I think
25:08Chris Island is persistent
25:09and I think
25:10Chris Island is trying
25:11different things
25:11and coming back
25:12and if it doesn't work
25:13then try something else.
25:14That's what you have to do
25:15and while Booker T
25:16is admittedly hard
25:17on Chris Island
25:18I think the evolution
25:19of Chris as a human being
25:21has been there
25:21and been measurable.
25:23Is it enough?
25:24We're going to find out.
25:25One, two, three, four,
25:28two, three, four,
25:34three, four,
25:35three, four,
25:35three, four,
25:35three, four,
25:36three, four,
25:36three, four,
25:38Chris Island is staying
25:39right on top
25:40of his opponent
25:43trying to show
25:44and show that
25:44he has learned
25:45from season one
25:46to season two
25:46here in season three
25:48in a belly
25:49and a back suplex
25:50perfectly executed.
25:52Deep hook of the leg
25:53still not enough
25:54to get the victory.
26:01I already told you
26:02I'd do this.
26:04I already told you.
26:07Come on!
26:18And it certainly has
26:19and something else
26:20we've talked about
26:21Chris Island
26:21the same can go for
26:22his opponent
26:23in this matchup.
26:24Does mindset go a long way
26:26here on LFG?
26:27It certainly does.
26:28It's, you know,
26:29it's half a battle
26:29and obviously getting the
26:30physical side of things done
26:32is very important
26:33but it's also
26:34just as much
26:34a mental game
26:35and it's those guys
26:36like Booker T
26:37and Bubba Ray Dudley
26:38that have not only
26:39been physically successful
26:41once the bell rings.
26:49But mentally as well.
26:51Mentally tough.
26:52Mentally strong.
26:53And knowing what it takes
26:54to be better
26:54just a little bit better
26:55than everybody else.
26:56Tay Wilder firing back in
26:57ducking the clothesline
26:58picking up some speed
26:59charging in
26:59and taking down Island
27:01right back to Island
27:02goes down.
27:03Wilder now finally
27:04getting out of the gate
27:05so to speak
27:06and picking up
27:07a little bit of fury
27:08getting a little bit of fire
27:09trying to get
27:10a win under his belt
27:12after the last week
27:13and ooh
27:14high impact offense.
27:16Might have been a bad
27:17landing for Chris Island
27:18but Wilder now
27:20moving Island
27:21into position.
27:31Here is your winner
27:34Jake Wilder
27:39What a win
27:43I'll tell you right now
27:44I'll tell you right now
27:45he's got more of an upside
27:47already.
27:48Some brutally honest words
27:49there from Booker T
27:50what's he doing?
27:51Big victory for Tate Wilder
27:53back to the dry board
27:54from Chris Island
27:55frustrated with his loss
27:56obviously
27:57but a big win
27:58for the Texan
27:59Tate Wilder.
28:11Here is your winner
28:13Jake Wilder
28:20When you hit a backbreaker
28:22or one of those
28:22big devastating finishes
28:23why do you do it?
28:25Wrestling.
28:25To win.
28:26Why don't you cover him?
28:27Immediately I got you.
28:28Yes sir.
28:29You hit him with those
28:30wonderful beautiful moves
28:31and then you just sit there
28:34and as an audience member
28:35I'm going
28:35you hit that big move
28:36but you're not trying to win.
28:37Yes sir.
28:37That takes me out of it.
28:38Urgency right?
28:39You hit that move
28:40and the reason you do that
28:41is I got a second opening
28:43I gotta get on air.
28:44Yes sir.
28:44But when you sit there
28:45and then you just kind of
28:46roll over
28:47I'm like well he's not
28:48trying to win.
28:48Yes sir.
28:49You do your comeback
28:50you gotta do freaking
28:51what's your last name?
28:53Wilder.
28:54It turned it up.
28:54That's what you have to be.
28:55100%.
28:56Because you're just posting along
28:57doing the floor.
29:04That's not fire.
29:05Yeah I need to turn it up.
29:07There's got to be this excitement
29:08and emotion and intensity.
29:10Sir.
29:10You're just gliding along
29:11and dude
29:12your last name.
29:13Yes sir.
29:14Wilder.
29:14Yes sir.
29:15That was quite clever
29:16if I say so myself.
29:17That was good.
29:17A lot was really good
29:18but the main stuff
29:19that you didn't do
29:20is the stuff
29:21that you have to do
29:22to get to that moment.
29:24Yes sir.
29:25Terry had some great
29:26things to say
29:26but he also shut us down
29:28very quick.
29:28He did say it was
29:29a solid match
29:30but we didn't
29:30hit the emotion side.
29:32Take this match
29:33and you know
29:33put it into the arsenal
29:34and try to take
29:35all I can
29:36from what Terry said
29:37and utilize it
29:38into my next match.
29:41So I took some notes dude
29:43as I always do.
29:43Listen.
29:46Love you brother.
29:47Yes sir.
29:47Who the f***
29:48was that guy tonight dude?
29:49That was the guy
29:49that was just screaming
29:50and yelling
29:51and ah.
29:51I did it!
29:54Ah!
29:55What do you say?
29:57Intensity and volume
29:58are two different buttons
29:59brother.
29:59First time I met you
30:00unless you falsely
30:01represented yourself
30:02you were this bundle
30:04of high energy
30:06like a gas tank on you
30:07a mouth on you
30:08blah blah blah blah
30:09but I didn't hear you
30:10screaming.
30:12and right away now
30:13I'm taken out of it.
30:14It's fake to me.
30:16Loom really got on me.
30:17It's my first time
30:18that I've ever been told
30:20okay Chris
30:21you crossed the line
30:23like you went
30:23a little far.
30:24When you scream
30:25at me too much
30:26I'm out of it.
30:27Like I don't want
30:27anyone to sit there
30:27screaming at me.
30:29Dude the stuff
30:29you guys did tonight
30:30was the cleanest
30:31I've seen you executed dude
30:33but we're storytellers.
30:34We're not stuntmen dude.
30:35All right.
30:37Thank you man.
30:39You guys feel good?
30:40Body feels good?
30:41Good.
30:41Good.
30:42Well done.
30:44I've gotten literally
30:45the same feedback
30:46for almost two years now.
30:49You know like
30:50it definitely got frustrating
30:52like I definitely plateaued
30:54and I definitely hit a wall.
30:56I'm such a passionate person
30:57that I refuse to accept that.
31:00I know that
31:01what I bring to the table
31:03they won't find another one
31:04like me and since I know
31:06that I need to now
31:07get them to know
31:08and I might be starting
31:09a little late
31:10but I'm starting.
31:15For tonight's main event
31:17Coach Bubba has two future
31:19greats making their season
31:20debuts.
31:21LFG veteran Zena Sterling
31:23and newcomer
31:24Chantel Monroe.
31:26My name is Chantel Monroe
31:28and I'm from Sarasota, Florida.
31:30I did gymnastics
31:31for almost 20 years.
31:33I went to Auburn
31:34and I was recruited
31:35at nationals.
31:36I haven't been wrestling
31:38for a long time at all.
31:39It's only been two years.
31:41You and Zena
31:42have a match.
31:44You're going into this
31:45as the bad guy.
31:47Yes.
31:48The bad girl.
31:49The heel.
31:50The task this week
31:51for me was
31:52they wanted to see
31:53a personality switch.
31:54So Chantel Monroe
31:55she's a diva
31:56she's stylish
31:57she's glamorous
31:58but they also wanted
31:59to see that switch
32:00of me getting nasty
32:01and getting down
32:02to business
32:02when I needed to.
32:06Being a heel
32:08is about
32:09your intent
32:09to want to
32:10hurt the baby face
32:12embarrass the baby face
32:15be in control
32:17of the baby face.
32:18Zena is back
32:20after two seasons
32:22this is my third season
32:23of LFG.
32:24I found out
32:25I'm working
32:26with Bubba again
32:27and obviously
32:28I'm stoked
32:29because he's always
32:30been the coach
32:31that I've clicked
32:31with the most.
32:33I need to see
32:34some kind of
32:35fire
32:35and aggression
32:37and anger
32:38and vitriol
32:39out of Zena.
32:41Chantel
32:42needs to take
32:43Zena in the ring
32:44and beat the
32:45out of her
32:45and make her fight
32:46for her life
32:47for the first time.
32:48I want to see you
32:49turn into a complete
32:52bitch.
32:53The other word
32:55that level
32:56that level
32:57me and Dena
32:58wanted to have
32:59a slap moment.
33:00I told Bubba
33:00I was like
33:01I want to say
33:01something here
33:01but I'm just
33:02not sure
33:02and then
33:03out of nowhere
33:04he goes
33:04eat this
33:05Barbie bitch
33:08and I was like
33:09yes
33:09like that's
33:10exactly what
33:11I'm going to say
33:11so sometimes
33:12you think
33:12you have to do
33:13way more than that
33:14maybe like tricks
33:14and flips
33:15you got to do
33:15all this cool stuff
33:16to get a reaction
33:17but it could just
33:17be something so
33:18simple.
33:19The time has come
33:21to prove that
33:22Chantel
33:23and Zena
33:23can bring some
33:24fire to the fight.
33:28It is main event
33:29time
33:29here on
33:30LFG Legends
33:32and Future Grace.
33:34I really think
33:34you two are on
33:35the same page
33:36I think you're both
33:37going to get each
33:37other over
33:38I think you're
33:39going to shine

35:45Miss Monroe
35:45got an attitude
35:46to her
35:48Zina just bubbly
35:49Zina just happy
35:51to be here
35:58when you talk
35:59about Shawn Michaels
35:59you talk about
36:00a Hall of Famer
36:01like Bubba Ray
36:01Dudley
36:01and everyone else
36:02is she where
36:04they need her

36:06do they think
36:07she can still
36:07grow more
36:08are they still
36:09challenging her
36:09is she willing
36:10to accept
36:11those challenges
36:11I mean that's
36:12the questions
36:13that would be
36:13running through
36:14my mind
36:14if I was
36:15Zina Sterling
36:16is what else
36:17can I show you
36:18but at the same
36:18time what else
36:19do I need
36:20to show you
36:21well that's
36:22certainly one
36:23thing that Coach
36:24Bloom has always
36:24said that I think
36:25is just brilliant
36:26one thing that
36:27makes a talent
36:27so special
36:28is the ability
36:29the teachability
36:31aspect
36:31to be able
36:32to be taught
36:33and Zina Sterling
36:34has showed that
36:35from day once
36:35and stepping into
36:36the performance
36:36center
36:36the question is
36:37coachability
36:39teachability
36:39being able to
36:40listen and take
36:41direction
36:41and advance
36:42yourself
36:42that's what
36:43she can do

36:55everyone we've

37:00passion

37:02that will
37:02to learn
37:03but also
37:03all these

37:09future greats
37:11right to the
37:12midsection
37:12there
37:13let's talk
37:14about the
37:14accolades
37:15real quick
37:15of
37:15I mean
37:17we're talking
37:17about a
37:18seven-time
37:18all-american
37:19we're talking
37:20about the
37:20one and only
37:21national champion
37:22in gymnastics
37:23to emerge
37:24from all
37:24I mean
37:25this woman
37:25has the
37:26credentials
37:27the pedigree
37:28has done it
37:28has been to
37:29the big stage
37:30and now looks
37:31to do it

37:35Tiger Claws
37:36just came out
37:37from Monroe
37:38there for a
37:39moment
37:39and there
37:39is a lot
37:39of upside
37:40to this
37:41athlete
37:43let's go
37:47let's go
37:48get it

37:53people
37:53we got the
37:54people girls
37:56Monroe's got a
37:57little bit more
37:57confidence than
37:58some you saw
37:58by the way
37:59she came to
37:59the ring
38:00how can that
38:00confidence help
38:01an aspiring
38:02superstar
38:03well certainly
38:04it's important
38:05everybody has to
38:05have it
38:06you have to
38:06have some
38:06into the cover
38:07hook of the
38:08leg
38:08and a kick
38:09out
38:09not a lot
38:10though on that
38:10kick out
38:11from Sterling
38:11just got that
38:12right shoulder
38:13off the mat
38:14there's always a
38:15difference between
38:15confidence and
38:16arrogance and
38:16obviously I would
38:17say Chantel
38:18Monroe has a
38:19little bit of
38:19both in all
