Inaugural NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Willow Nightingale discussed her goals for women’s wrestling during a recent appearance on “The Corner” podcast.
Nightingale’s aim is to become the face of the AEW/NJPW women’s division and make women’s wrestling ‘must-watch’ matches.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On her goals as NJPW Strong Women’s Champion: “I think it would be easy to be selfish and say I want to be the face of the division. I want to be the face of women’s wrestling. That would be great, but I do also recognize that I am one of many super crazy, incredibly talented women. So when you go to an AEW show, you’ll notice there’s usually only one women’s match on the card. My goal is to put on performances that will not only give us another match or give us more time, right, because that’s the boss’s choice at the end of the day. But I want for it to feel merited, I want it to feel worthwhile, I want for people to tune in and actually watch it. Because if we’re given the time and nobody’s watching it, what does it matter?”
On wanting to elevate women’s wrestling: “I want women’s wrestling in All Elite Wrestling, in New Japan to be must-watch matches. That is the only thing that I can think of that would give me the long-term effect that I want for my wrestling career. I want to be a legend. That doesn’t happen just winning one championship. I could win this and then my first defense, lose it. I don’t want that to be the case. I’m gonna go out there and fight as hard as I can to make sure that doesn’t happen. But it’s the consistency. I want to consistently want to go out there and put my best foot forward, and I don’t forget that. It’s not just me, it’s all of the women who have put so much on the line to do this. So that for me is how you create a legacy.”
In a clip posted on the ChefReactions channel on TikTok, user “Chef Reactions” shared his reaction to WWE Superstar Baron Corbin making some filets.
Chef didn’t hold back as he verbally buried Corbin from all aspects, be it wrestling, cooking, or football. Chef said,
“WWE superstar — and I use the term very loosely. Formerly known as Happy Corbin, which is ironic because whenever I watched him wrestle, it made me miserable. Using filets, which are maybe the most mediocre steaks available, which is fitting because he’s a mediocre wrestler at best.” The chef added on Baron Corbin, “His cooking’s better than his wrestling or his football career. He couldn’t get drafted to the NFL, Raw, or SmackDown, so that’s 0-3 homey. Let’s go, 8/10. I’d eat it.”
