Thekla recently appeared on TMZ’s Inside the Ring podcast, and during the interview she shared a brief anecdote about Jeff Jarrett calling her a “crazy b**ch.”
During the appearance, the former AEW Women’s World Champion also spoke about her upcoming number one contenders match against Willow Nightingale at AEW All Out this weekend, as well as having positive interactions with wrestling legends like Mick Foley and Chris Jericho.
One story she shared about a wrestling legend drew laughter from TMZ hosts
Branson Quirke and Roger Corral, and it involved Double J.
Corral had asked Thekla about her memorable appearance at AEW All In last month. During the event’s pre-show, the Austrian wrestler joined a panel made up of Jarrett, Foley, Paul Wight, and Renee Paquette. With a drink in hand, Thekla climbed up on the commentators’ desk to announce her return and threaten Nightingale.
Before she left the All In panel with her spicy margarita, Thekla performed her upside-down spider crawl on top of the desk.
After briefly describing what the AEW star did at All In, Corral asked if her actions were a “spur-of-the-moment thing.”
“Yeah, of course. Everything’s a spur-of-the-moment thing, dumb b**ch,” she said.
Thekla then added: “My favorite thing about that was Jeff Jarrett coming up to me after that and being like, ‘You’re a crazy b**ch!’”
However, Thekla made it clear that she took his reaction as a compliment, telling TMZ: “I was like, ‘Oh! That’s the nicest thing anyone has said to me today.’”
She also said Paul Wight, best known to WWE fans as Big Show, spoke to her that day, too.
“I did talk to Big Show, too. I think that’s the first time I caught his attention, you know? But I think he was more freaked out, like, ‘All right. She’s got like a drink in her hand. Is she going to spill it all over us, or what the f**k is going to happen?”
Corral remarked that she was impressive during the All In segment.
“I’m a professional,” Thekla replied. “I know it’s hard to believe sometimes, but I know what the f**k I’m doing out there.”
