Throughout a current edition of the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast, the females of AEW Heels (Aubrey Edwards, Amanda Huber, Vickie Guerrero, and Leva Bates) discussed the development of the AEW Heels neighborhood and the prepare for the future.

You can have a look at some highlights from the podcast listed below:

Leva Bates on how AEW Heels started:” [Brandi] was thinking of this concept for a while. I’m gon na state, starting of the year [2020], she was speaking about launching this club. She wished to make wrestling more available to females, and individuals who seemed like, on the borders of what wrestling fandom is. I keep in mind the very first huge, huge launch was Double or Nothing. That’s when we did our really first ‘celebration.’ It was on Zoom, cause of the pandemic! That sort of shaped how we began doing things from there on out. We needed to do Zoom celebrations, and we began doing it, perhaps month-to-month. That’s how it began growing when we got out of the pandemic. That was the preliminary concept, to have something, a location for females to go to, and get together and be comfy in our own skins.”

Amanda Huber on how she ended up being included: “I had actually become aware of Heels directly from the start. I was on a great deal of the Zoom calls prior to any person type of understood who I was, simply on the sidelines seeing. I’m going, this is all right. Perhaps not for me, however these women appear to be enjoying it, so great for them. After Brandi had actually left, I keep in mind remaining in the corridor at Revolution with [AEW PR individual] Mandy O’Donnell, and we were discussing my task with AEW Community, and I stated ‘the Venn diagram of ladies wrestling fans and individuals who wish to do things in the neighborhood, it’s type of a huge circle.’ I informed Mandy, hello if you ever desire me to with the Heels, or ever do anything as kind of a crossover … she’s like, ‘you require to talk to Aubrey.’ Well, I’m currently BFFs with her, so let’s attempt that. I stated to Aubrey, hi, I wish to get on a call with you men and find out how I can bring neighborhood into this. It sort of grown out of control from there (laughs).”

Vickie Guerrero on how the Heels program has actually developed in the previous year: “I can’t think it’s currently been a year [given that Vickie signed up with] We’ve all worked truly difficult on this. It’s been a continuous little infant we cradle, every day (laughs). I was participating in the Zoom calls when Brandi became part of it, and I was simply doing visitor looks at that time. Like Amanda stated, when Brandi was leading the Zoom calls, it was everything about style, and [high] heels. When I’m paid for it, I just use heels. It was excellent, once we turned it around and made it to where everyone was comfy, and everyone might sense of addition, like everyone might be a part of it, I enjoyed it. Right after that I resembled, hello, I wish to assist. It’s been enjoyable.”

Aubrey Edwards on ‘bullsh * t gatekeeping’ of females wrestling fans: “I began with Heels quite early on, like you people had actually gone to all the sessions that were occurring. I actually thought in the concept, that we can do more to support ladies and discovering an area for ladies to seem like they belong in wrestling. Since the number of times have all of us had somebody state ‘oh, are you in fact a wrestling fan? Well, who won the centerpiece of this pay-per-view, and this day, and if you do not understand, you’re plainly not a wrestling fan.’ It’s this bullsh * t gatekeeping that takes place that keeps ladies out of wrestling, and it’s truly regrettable. Attempting to discover a location where individuals do not always have to ‘show’ their fandom, they can simply state ‘I’m a fan of wrestling.’ Cool, you’re in! You’re one of us. There should not be a test! Cool, you like wrestling? Terrific! You’re one of us! That’s actually what it must be.”

Aubrey Edwards on the shift of Heels after Brandi’s AEW exit: “I constantly thought in that concept, however like you stated, when Brandi was running the company, whatever she’s doing is great, it’s her company. She has this high heeled logo design since it’s who Brandi was; she’s about style, she’s about cosmetics. Really all womanly things. As you stated yourself [ Vickie], not all ladies enjoy that. I’m going to take the line of ‘I do not use heels unless I’m paid to use heels.’ I’m likewise never ever using heels once again, I like it. I believe that was one of the things that truly drew me into assisting Leva when that hole opened up. I believe the concept’s great, I believe the discussion simply requires to alter a bit. Taking a look at the whole of the AEW lineup, not simply the females’s locker space, however everyone. All of us originate from various backgrounds, all of us have various interests, all of us have various objectives in life. To have a couple of things represent ‘ladies as wrestling fans’ does not actually look like it’s inclusive enough. We require to have whatever. And I believe from there it removed.”
