Like, I still think about it, of course, it still feels very fresh. But when that happened, and I was going to Chicago and I did the Effy&#8217;s Gay Brunch and all throughout all of that it was very, like&#8230; I felt like everybody was staring at me and wondering how I was feeling. And I think they were trying to pick my brain and see what was going on. Like, why was I no longer there, it was just a lot. It was super emotional for me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Hearing Tony Khan\u2019s Statement At The Media Scrum in Chicago<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I did, and I want to say this too, I am so grateful for Tony Khan. Tony Khan has always been great to me in the sense of&#8230; first of all, he helped pay my bills during a global pandemic . You know, there&#8217;s so many great things about Tony Khan and people expect me to say something negative about him, but no he&#8217;s given me my life&#8230; he gave me stability in my life. Like I said he helped pay my bills during a time where a lot of people were not, you know, things weren&#8217;t so uncertain. So, yeah, no, I&#8217;m forever grateful for Tony Khan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On Pound Town Wrestling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So Ariane and I are actually good friends. She messaged me a couple of months ago, she was like, &#8220;I have this idea. I want to do something that&#8217;s like really fun, like luxury. Something different, you know.&#8221; And she is like, &#8220;Yeah, I want it to be like an indie promotion. But I want it to have storylines. I want it to be like&#8230; I wanted to bring back storytelling.&#8221; That&#8217;s what she said she was like, &#8220;I wanted to be something that&#8217;s fun, all inclusive.&#8221; And just like&#8230; today&#8217;s wrestling is a lot different than it used to be back in the day. Like, we&#8217;re not seeing storylines as much. Obviously you are in certain promotions, but it&#8217;s different, you know, depending on where you are. But storylines aren&#8217;t the hot thing anymore. It&#8217;s mostly wrestling, like everybody wants to see the in-ring stuff. That&#8217;s the most important thing. So she&#8217;s like, &#8220;Yeah, I want to combine, I want to bring back the storytelling.&#8221; So I was like, &#8220;Yeah, I&#8217;m down. I&#8217;m all for it, girl.&#8221; And she was like, &#8220;You know, listen, I want you to be in on it, too. I want you to help, you know, discuss what we should do and how we should put it together. What kind of matches should we have?&#8221; She was like, &#8220;Listen, I want all of your input.&#8221; She was like, &#8220;Yeah, like, let me know what you were thinking.&#8221; And we went through a couple of different ideas for matches. She didn&#8217;t know if she wanted to wrestle or not. But we ended up making it where she did wrestle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On Getting The Call from Tommy Dreamer<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3812271113\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Tommy Dreamer, a good friend of mine. Always loved him. He has been such a shining light in my life and in my career for a long time. Since way back when Sonny Kiss was first a thing. So he&#8217;s always been there in some kind of guidance, you know, like helping me out, giving me ideas, telling me to try certain things. I did &#8220;Busted Open&#8221; and then Tommy was like, &#8220;Text me after this.&#8221; And that&#8217;s what I did. I texted him after that. And we talked about it and he was like, the entire staff thinks you&#8217;ll be great for the call your shot. And I said yes, sir, sign me up for it; I would love that. And then it happened and it was a wonderful experience and the Impact locker room is absolutely amazing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On Teaming Up with Trinity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I would love to team with Trin and become Knockouts Tag Team Champs. I think that that would be really fun, like a really fun feud with Gisele and Jai Vidal and Savannah. That would be really, really fun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED NEXT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/09\/11\/saraya-touts-how-tony-khan-treats-and-features-women-in-aew-talks-about-whether-she-wanted-to-win-title-sooner-non-wrestling-projects\/\">Saraya touts how Tony Khan treats and features women in AEW, talks about whether she wanted to win title sooner, non-wrestling projects<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>OR CHECK THIS OUT AT PROWRESTLING.NET:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/2023\/10\/29\/freelance-pro-wrestling-dead-by-dawn-results-vetters-review-of-storm-grayson-vs-effy-for-the-freelance-title-gpa-and-laynie-luck-vs-david-ali-and-heather-monroe-for-the-freelance-tag-titles\/\">Freelance Pro Wrestling \u201cDead By Dawn\u201d results: Vetter\u2019s review of Storm Grayson vs. Effy for the Freelance Title, GPA and Laynie Luck vs. David Ali and Heather Monroe for the Freelance Tag Titles<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-meta\">\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1565016078\"><div id=\"pwtor-4168513882\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The following are highlights of an interview by Women&#8217;s Wrestling Talk with Sonny Kiss provided to PWTorch.com&#8230; \u2022On Being Let Go From AEW That was a very emotional time, especially like it still is to <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/10\/30\/sonny-kiss-says-tony-khan-gave-him-stability-in-their-life-says-there-are-so-many-great-things-about-tony-khan\/\" title=\"Sonny Kiss says Tony Khan provided stability in their life, says &#8220;there are so many great things about Tony Khan&#8221;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":168198,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,6163,2,539,4247],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-168197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spotlightarticles","category-aew-news","category-prowrestlingnews","category-indies-news","category-interview-highlights"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-2023-10-30-at-11.52.02-AM.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168197"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168197\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":168259,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168197\/revisions\/168259"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
