00:00It's on explosion. It's around the ring with Gia Miller starring
00:03Alicia Edwards of the system.
00:10Welcome back to DNA explosion. And now it's time for around the
00:13ring with Gia Miller.
00:20What's up everybody, welcome back to around the ring. As
00:24always, I am your host Gia Miller. And today, I always say
00:28it's a special episode, but I really today it's been a long
00:32time coming because today I have my big sister, Alicia Edwards
00:37leash. Thanks for sitting down. Oh, well, thanks for having me.
00:39I'm super excited. Yeah, this one's been a long time coming.
00:42Because if there's one thing that you could probably infer
00:46about both me and leash is that we are both yappers. Oh, yeah,
00:50we yap a lot. We talk. Yeah, just in two different polar
00:54opposite accents. Back and forth constantly. 100%.
00:58So imagine us together. Double trouble double trouble big time.
01:03And then when Zaya gets in the mix, it's Oh, yeah, it's but
01:06that's a whole nother thing. Oh, we'll have to have a special
01:07episode for the three the panel the roundtable. Oh, okay. All
01:11right. Right. Somebody write this down. Anyway. So leash, we
01:14don't talk about wrestling. Thank God because I hate
01:17wrestling. It's true. She hates wrestling. But but you've spent
01:2120 years in the business. I mean, you've been around for a
01:24long time. You've seen a lot. You've done so much you've been
01:28like, I don't think that the people at home really know how
01:33vital of a piece that you've been in this locker room,
01:35especially in the past several years, you've been such a vital
01:39piece. And like, now we're getting to see the effects of
01:43all that work that you've put in. I mean, and it does it
01:47sometimes it takes a long time for people to, you know, reach
01:50that, like their push or that moment that they're looking for.
01:54What does it take? How do you push through that? Even when you
01:59think, oh, maybe, maybe it's not gonna happen?
02:01I mean, I still have those thoughts, even when I guess
02:05like, I mean, this is the best year for me in my career. And I
02:10think personally, so I mean, honestly, I think when you're in
02:15it, it's hard to kind of process as it's happening. So sometimes
02:18you got to kind of step back and process the thought and like,
02:22just think about it. But like, yeah, it's been very
02:25overwhelming, is I guess the great word for. But I, I mean,
02:31yeah, I don't even know what to say about it. Because it is so
02:34much to kind of process. And it's hard to do it. While the
02:38hustle is real and happening. And like, right now, I'm
02:41definitely in, in my hustle where I just got to continue
02:45going.
02:46I've never known you to not be in your hustle. Well, we do
02:49these little things called six month evaluations. And it
02:52typically falls around six months. Sometimes it's sooner if
02:54we really need it, where we sit and we talk about the goals that
02:58we have and what we've got to do to achieve those goals.
03:01And to level up at the end of the day, I think growing and
03:04being a part of things. Yeah, I've been around for a while.
03:06But like, wrestling has evolved, which means like, you got to
03:11evolve with it. Yes. And things change in the business. And
03:14like, it's just like that growing aspect.
03:16Yeah, and you've consistently grown. I mean, I think we've
03:21watched you go just over the past couple of years, but there
03:23were so much before that so many like, vital pieces and, and as
03:28much work as you've put into just the TNA locker room, the
03:32impact locker room. I need you guys to know she's constantly
03:35hustling when she's not here to it. It's, you're you're always
03:40working on something. I mean, one of the biggest projects I
03:44know, we can talk about it a little bit is the content
03:46space. Oh, yes. Yes. I, we kind of work with someone in the
03:52Northeast area where we kind of rent out a building and print
03:56studios, yes, blueprint studios. And it was literally like, a
04:02space that just had a bunch of white walls. And we were sitting
04:05there and content creating and we're like, wait, what if we did
04:10this wall like this and these plain white walls like, oh,
04:13it's a plain background, but it's like, you want more than
04:15just a plain background.
04:17Pinterest was my best friend for a long time. And texting GM
04:22like, hey, do you think this would work? And then
04:28thrifting is my new best friend as well, because I've never been
04:31in a thrift store ever. And then that's where we would find
04:35things. And we did a lot of projects. And like, yeah, so now
04:40we have a content house.
04:41Yeah. And that's just one of the side things that you're working
04:45on. Because I said at the beginning, you're my big sister,
04:47but you're really everyone's big sister. I mean, anytime she does
04:51have a little bit of a harsh exterior. But anytime there's
04:55someone new in the locker room, you're always kind of, you're
04:58the one to make sure that they're taken care of that
05:01they're all good. And like, I mean, it's probably it probably
05:06takes a lot out of you to have a heart like that.
05:08Um, I mean, it does a lot of energy. But as long as the
05:12energy is put in a positive direction, and and you get that
05:16back, and I think it kind of, you know, like one, what is it
05:21one hand washes other? Yeah, you got an allergy, right? Sounds
05:24right to me.
05:25We speak licious ones here. Yeah, exactly. So like, I think
05:29like, you know, you put the good energy out, it somehow kind of
05:31comes back to you. So yeah, absolutely. And it also feels
05:34good when like, for example, like someone like you that came
05:37and we didn't know each other that well, and then being able
05:41to see you grow as well. And you know, yeah, yeah. And you've
05:43been such a vital piece of my growth. And I, as long as I've
05:48got this girl on my side, I know that we're taking over. Yeah,
05:51we're taking over. And unfortunately, this is all the
05:54time we have. We'll have to have you back for Episode 2345. Oh,
05:58yeah, we're just gonna have your recurring guests. Guys. Thank
06:01you so much, Lish for sitting down with me. I hope that you've
06:04enjoyed getting to know the real Alicia because there's so much
06:07there's so many layers, we'll peel them back. But guys, thank
06:11you so much. This has been around the ring.
