Mami did the interview in character which is fabulous for this week.
Mostly in character. But she also let her real self slip a bit (which personally I like, because it adds a bit of realism to what is a scripted storyline)
That's what seperate the new face with veteran when does interview they be just be themselves like punk, cena, randy, taker
Ariel feared for his life like TK.
i laughed very hard at this. ariel should say this when he talks about it.
Liked and here's to hoping he does say this on his next show😂
@@MrJayRed hell yeah 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Obviously it’s a work lol. He was part of it obviously. But if anyone thinks not, that’s what WWE is going for
Ariel was living out his dream right here lol with them beefing live on the man show 😂
He looked scared😂😂
@@nawa240 as a wwe fan I know Ariel is enjoying it and it's part of the storyline
Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte last year WM was the best women's wrestling match ever imo
Agreed
And Rhea hasn’t done anything else since
Ripley was born for this job! I'm sure Ariel loved being part of a WrestleMania storyline. So much fun!
MMA fans seething
let em seethe
It is so hilarious to read and then seeing Ariel so happy at the end I guess they want more time spent talking about that banger card in Atlantic city 🙄
@@NateDawg920 Compared to this, the card in Atlantic City was indeed a banger
@koollio9724 the card yah..talking anymore about it, I'd rather pretend it didn't happen. All I needed was mma guru's video after and I was good.
@@NateDawg920 yeah it was pretty funny. Im just saying though man the fans complaining about this kinda have a fair point
😂 That little lady holding back Becky. 😂 And Becky acting like that lady could actually hold her back.😂
Molly holly 😂
Nothing is impossible
Becky is a little lady too??
I mean what is she, 90 lbs now? lol, it's not _that_ unbelievable
Molly is a former powerlifter. Put some respect on her name, she's no chopped liver lol.
Becky being held back by a 120lb woman
That woman was Molly Holly
But on raw they ran threw 20 guys who weigh 225 lol
@@MrJoepepsfeminists are loving life right now🤣
Becky weights about 105 pounds
@@PhafanapolisI think more like 135, close around Ronda rousey weight. Possibily 140.
You know Ariel beat off to this
Most of us did
LOL.
😂😂😂😂
Ariel is legit gonna work himself into a shoot one day with these antics 😂
It’s still real to me damnit
Wrestling is real Ppl r fake
Santa is also real
It shoulda been ME!
@@KingFury6293the WWE injuries aren’t fake pal
@@KingFury6293the injuries from wrestling aren’t fake pal
These www segments have been incredible lately.
Fr
Too much corpsing. Send for the man!
This is definitely the matchup that everybody wants the bad guy to win. I think it’s pretty obvious that 95% of the wrestling community wants Rhea to retain.
backy lynch 🏆
Cool to see something like this used by the WWE. They are at least trying to make this seem real and I respect it
I knew MMA fans wouldn’t like this segment or interview to do a wrestling angle. C’mon now. It’s pro wrestling. You have to sell a match. What do you think Conor McGregor does? He makes the big bucks just because he can put butts in seats and people talking. Where do you think he got that from? The Vince McMahon walk he does in the octagon? WWE. So as Chris Jericho would say, drink it in maaannnnn
WWE & UFC merging into TKO proves your point directly.
At the end of the day its straight up cringe, I always hear pro wrestling fans yapping about story lines, and promoting, like they have a claim to be covered by sports journalists, this is pantomime sports, its not a real sport, it's sports entertainment. The fact it's being covered on an MMA show is the killer, pro wrestling fans always so entitled re promo shooting. The rest of the world with half a brain does not wanna see this cringe display.
@@jaydenbuitenga1851 - Too late...the bus has already left the station. Even before the WWE/UFC merger, MMA guys like Connor McGregor have already become entertainers in their public appearances(puts asses in seats). In 10 years, you'll hardly know the difference until you see them fight for real. Change is the one constant in life.
@@CARTOONIVERSE1 The ironic part is guys like Connor McGregor and Chael Sonnen, two of the greatest as far promoting a fight were both clearly inspired by pro wrestling and the theatrics. Dana White himself was inspired by Vince McMahon in so many ways. Hell you can go all the way back to Muhammad Ali who was inspired by Gorgeous George, a wrestler from the 50's. UFC was inspired by pro wrestling a long time ago, which is partly what separated it from other MMA promotions. If anything it took away alot of the old school wrestling audience tha was tired of the direction wrestling started going in 15-20 years ago and that coincided with the rise in popularity of UFC.
@@anthonyanderson9303 - Great summation. I remember when Ali crashed the ring to challenge Gorilla Monsoon. Monsoon picks him up, spins him around & drops him like a sack of potatoes. Totally humiliated & Ali was happy to do the angle.
People acting like Ariel hasn't always been a huge wrestling fan.
We always knew that, he always references it but could've sworn this was the MMA Hour
@@demonx3432He’s regularly had wrestling personalities on the MMA hour though, this isn’t nothing new.
@@demonx3432He’s regularly had wrestlers on the MMA hour though, this is nothing new.
@@demonx3432 well the MMA hour has always been a show for the casual mixed martial arts fans, so it's not like it's a sacred MMA show. It's a show by a guy who pretends to care about combat sports for a bunch of people who pretend to care about combat sports
There match should be epic! Rhea and Charlotte had the best match besides Gunther IC title defense last year at mania! Hopefully this year they can top it!
*Their
ffs Let em have a little tussle. Aerial didn't want his figurines on the floor?
Nah he probably got them insured lol
🤣🤣
They had the chance to do so, but decided to play the "hold me back" game😂
What do you mean let them have a tussle? Nobody was holding them back with an ounce of resistance.
what's up with lots of dislikes? kids don't understand that Rhea sticks to kayfabe in this interview? or this is just hardcore Becky fans? love Becky btw
“OMG, Ariel must have feared for his life” ………. Probably Tony Kahn
The acting is........ painful...
Ariel acting is tremendous 😂
Rhea is the epitome of a star. She has every quality that you want. It’s a shame it’s not her & Charlotte at WM again.
That was fun lol. Badass Irish accent when Becky said "you got a target on your arm"
I’m loving this new and evolved kayfabe we have now a days.
Tony Kahn feared for his life in this one!
That stuff at the end...woof, C-level acting.
people want to see Mami kiss The Man WrestleMania
why can't Mommy & The Man just get along?
The sexual tension in their stare-offs is actually insane
No we want Mami to kiss dom
LOL.
YES many people will see it
I love this kinda stuff
Lmbo you was so scared 😂😂😂 but this is my type of carrying on!
You can tell the Punk interview was genuine, and it was just two guys talking. Rhea sounded so scripted it was awful to listen too. Very much explains the ending.
Sounded? It was scripted. She was in character.
Rhea just sounds very nervous, she's not used to these big spotlight interviews where they ask questions based on reality/acting. She was the same on IMPAULSIVE but a bit more laidback cuz it's not a big show like the MMA hour in another' sports world. The big breathes and voice crack made her sound like she was at a job interview
@@SimplyTheBestCSGOshe’s working a character and she doesn’t have the experience yet. It’s her first major title run. Cut her some slack
Its because the exclusive happened on Impaulsive podcast..
Yeah I turned out maybe after 5 minutes because I realize the entire thing was in character
14:10 The Brawl has escalated big time
Amazing loved this
Love Rhea, love Becky. Slightly bummed that we couldn't get a real, raw, Ariel interview with this one but it was a solid work. Looking forward to their match at Wrestlemania!
Nice I can't wait for the match😂😂
I liked the cm punk interview, but what on earth was this? This was just straight up embarrassing. That tussle at the end has to be the most embarrassing thing I have ever watched
Yeah they were keeping Kayfabe lol
Bro, that was the whole point of it. And hell they did it really well. Go watch impulsive if you want the proper interview hahaha. (Not promoting them whatsoever)
This was a talk show spot to promote the match.
Was BETTER Than CM Punk
@@jayceegenocide4402you are the exact kind of person punk was talking about in his interview! 😂😂
This was great
Reminds me of the pro boxing altercations in press conferences like Erik Morales & Marco Antonio Barrera; Oscar De La Hoya & Fernando Vargas and Lennox Lewis & Mike Tyson
Rhea Ripley is amazing!
at this point i think they should just stop fighting and make love with each other instead
I’d tune in for that!
make love not war
Who's on top ?
@@liosmani9353 guess
@@jjaussie19 aerial on both of them?
Mania should have been Rhea vs Bianca respect to Becky and what she did for the women division but it ain’t the top match that should have been made for Mania should have been Bianca vs Rhea it would have been way more Mania worthy at this point !!
that would have been good. Honestly the best storyline would have been Rhea vs Liv even if that wouldn't have been the best match. They had the best storyline since Liv's return tho.
no tha man winnn🔥
Imagine if they took the chance to destroy the set and remodel
MY MAMIIIIII💜💜💜💜💜🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I havent watched wrestling in sooo long but I remember how inlove I used to be with it and this is def the renaissance era of wwe im all for it im invested again 😂😂💯
Love when Ariel does the wwe interviews
Henry cejudo thought this was too cringey 😬
😂🤣🤣🤣
That was fun. Rhea Ripley is The BEST
I don’t watch a lot of these interviews, but so far she is the only one I have seen doing seemingly it in character. Did she not get the memo what happens on this show?
She was in character because Becky Lynch in character was going to storm into her interview, which wouldn't make much sense if Rhea was talking about how much she loves Becky outside of WWE lol.
This was actually pretty cool
Ariel enjoyed it 😂 he pretended to be scared and it was planed well! Mma fighting fans dont know its just part of the storyline to wrestlemania
Rhea right she post anything we’ll eat it up lol
Lol fans in here seething have me in tears. Meanwhile Ariel looked so happy 😂
I hope they don't make Rhea lose to Becky.
Mmafighting… my go to for wwe and betting content….
I wish both ladies all the best
Ok, so mma fan here and attitude era was my era so I’m a little out of practise when it comes to wwe but man, I would simp hard for this woman. She scares me… and I like that 🤦♂️ 😂😂😂
"I don't care much for books." C'mon lol
Becky Lynch arrives for a surprise confrontation with a wireless mic pack 🤣
Just enjoy it for what it is dammit
Lmao they just don't make em like they used to
... not to be too closely analyzed. 😂 At least it was slightly better acting than the extremely fake MMA face offs. 😂
this proves that wrestling is REAL!
It’s real but it’s just scripted
It's real scripted
So are movies bro
Who's ever idea that was deserves a raise
our sweet mma show is long gone. 😂
Low key happy for Ariel.
I love rhea
So Becky got of the phone, got through security, got her "badge", got up the elevator, got miced up, and got in studio all within 45 seconds?
Look bud..it's wrestling okay 👍
Yes. You're taking the fun out of it. It's like watching an action movie with your friends and saying to everyone watching.. "He didn't REALLY jump outta that helicopter guys!" 😮 Yeah, we know what you're saying, but just go with it like you would a film or a play. That's kind of more what this rly is all abt anyway... it's storytelling. It's why WWE & UFC are not comparable. It's a completely different thing.
@@chriswooton2637 Ariel calls himself a journalist. And this show is called "The MMA Hour" , not "Action Star Jumps Out of Helicopters"
@@threeskin1 Fair enough.. it's Ariel's show tho. At the end of the day, dude can do what he wants with it. Just tune out of the wrestling stuff if you don't like it. I don't watch the MMA stuff, and that's fine.
@@chriswooton2637 I don't mind using the comments section to comment on how I feel
Reah Thiccley is awesome 😂
I love Rhea
Oh boy this was a tough watch
Oh boy as if comment matter
English matters
Maybe for you lol
I freakin love this!!!!!! Ariel! My boy! What’s a shoot, what’s not?!?! What a great time fore wrestling!
I love Rhea Ripley she's so cool and down to earth.
I was so into this listening in my car. now I really want to watch wrestling. I haven’t watched since the 80’s. Ariel, you got me!!
seeing this after impulsive is surreal, the difference is staggering, great acting
Lol i just saw a video that Parker not being in AEW anyone is just a rumor & he's still there
Got to love Mami! Not as much as Forest's 3-1 against Fulham though!
What's with the caste on her left forearm
Rhea has somewhat of a south african accent I know she's an Aussie just making a remark
Don't say that it's deeply offensive
Wash your mouth with soap.
@@ZaklnGritch okay I won't 👍
@@greyman003 Go read a book
@@user-ne1pc5bb1s Personal hygiene is important, clean your ears it is affecting your hearing.
Sorry, Rhea. You’ve had to follow the best MMA hour interview of all time.
Becky lynch and rhea is both funny asf i’m sure they both actually love each other 😭🎀
What's the thumb ratio on this 😂
it only has 18 dislikes surprisingly
@@mauriciohiure2192how can you see?
@mauriciohiure2192 very surprising. I guess Ariel knows there's many closet fans.
What a way to build up the match.
Rhea vs Jade is a dream match even i would love to see she even said she looks forward to wrestling jade but thats a money match they would have to set the stage for it the only perfect stage i can think of would be wrestlemania the most popular PPV of them all 😊
Ariel, you’re not an actor bro. Stop this nonsense
This was a work!
ya think?
@@CARTOONIVERSE1 Yes! This was scripted. Ariel doesn't want to expose the business.
While Rhea did a great job in character, and the pull apart was a setup to further the angle and was for WWE TV to use, i HATE the fact that this even happened. You have CM Punk on here before her for almost 2 hrs of an honest interview, then you have this in character work. It's just so ludicrous and hokey.
It was a funny hype for WrestleMania
her voice is giving me she's on the secret sauce vibes. I wish her the best
That top! 🔥
Was that a work
No
Are people not understanding that this interview and Becky’s were Kayfabe?
I like Rhea hair here. I prefer it better than the extensions
Cringe . We know WWE is scripted and can watch that elsewhere. Was expecting a genuine pull back the curtain interview. Stopped watching 5 mins in.
Lol Ariel pivoting to this
Lol what are you doing with your life tho?
@@coleturner6906 Decent, happy 35 married, run a few business, comfortable middle class, debt free, college paid, house almost paid and car 3/4 paid Bali in 2 weeks for the third time. I’m not a billionaire but I’m comfortable. Wbu?
19:15 Takes 8 men on Raw to hold Becky back. But in Ariel's place, just one Jewish lady has the power to hold her back.
What? Stinkface is one of the most devastating moves ever. Sw2Sdid it for Rikishi.😊
Imagine the epic showdown at WrestleMania: Becky Lynch vs. Mami. But what if Mami takes the crown? Then picture this - a no-holds-barred clash for the ages: Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill! Let's make WWE history with an iconic, no-disqualification match that'll have fans talking for years!
17:47
Wow I honestly wish we could see more screen time for Molly Holly in this role.
OMG IS THAT MOLLY HOLLY??? I knew that "save it for the RING" sounded familiar from the wwe2k23 MYRISE storyline
Dont ask me the color of anything
ok wow...that was horrible..and I'm a huge WWE fan..
Thank the lord I was able to skip this in the vods.
