AEW wrestler Diamante is the guest on the latest edition of the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast. You can check out the official synopsis below:
Diamante may be a calm, “emotional support human” backstage at AEW, but she’s a beast in the ring! Diamante shares behind-the-scenes details about recent bangers with Riho and Jade Cargill, her AEW debut match during the pandemic, and headlining AEW Dark. She has stories about Austin Gunn, Jon Moxley, and Kenny Omega, and what it meant to see Cardi B. give Diamante props on twitter. She remembers the backyard wrestling promotion she joined in high school, ETW ( Extreme Teen Wrestling), what inspired her name, and who really helped her develop her character. Plus, she explains the angel wings tattoo on her back, and why she calls her dogs the unsung heroes of the AEW pandemic era.
During a recent edition of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, AEW wrestler Matt Hardy discussed his bitter experience working with John Laurinaitis in WWE.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Matt Hardy on John Laurinaitis: “John Laurinaitis and I, we had a lot of issues. I felt like whenever he called to release me in 2005, I felt like he was getting a little bit of enjoyment out of it because he’s like, ‘this guy clashed with me and he questioned my judgment.”
On having respect for Laurinaitis: “He was ultimately the bad guy for Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon doesn’t need to give people the bad news. […] That’s John Laurinaitis’ job. So that’s a tough job. It’s a very thankless job in many ways, too. So at the end of the day, I’ve had my issues with John Laurinaitis, but I’m okay with John Lauriniatis now, and I’m fine with him. I have respect for him.”
WWE fired Laurinaitis last summer after he was reportedly involved in an alleged sexual relationship with a former WWE employee, who Vince McMahon allegedly paid $3 million as hush money.
