But we keep our work and our personal life separate. We don&#8217;t talk about pro wrestling at home. And we are the complete opposite. We love it. We love to talk about it. We love to dissect it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bailey said that although they are often on different shows in different places, they love to get on the phone after the show and talk about the shows they participated in that night. \u201cSo often we are gonna be doing separate shows,\u201d said Bailey. \u201cI&#8217;ll be doing a Dynamite, and Veda will be doing a CMLL show, and then as soon as the show is done, we&#8217;ll get on the phone, and we will break down our shows match by match, moment by moment, and dissect every little piece of it, because we absolutely love pro wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And I don&#8217;t know how our relationship would work if we didn&#8217;t share the thing that we are both the most passionate about.
