>> I NEED TO GET BETTER AT FAKING IT.
>> Stephen: THIS IS A W.W.E.
INJURY?
>> YEAH.
THIS FROM THE MAIN EVENT AT WRESTLEMANIA.
AND I DON'T DON'T KNOW IF I CAN SWEAR IN HERE.
>> Stephen: WHY NOT.
>> THERE WAS A PINT WHERE I WAS SUPPOSED TO THROW THE TABLE AND
I SAID, "TABLES ARE FOR BITCHES!"
>> Stephen: DID YOU PLAN ON THROWING THE TABLE.
DID THEY KNOW YOU WERE GOING TO THROW THE TABLE?
YOU KNEW YOU KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO THROW THE TABLE.
>> I CAME IN HOT.
"TABLES ARE FOR BITCHES" AND I STARTED PUNCHING AND SOMETIMES
YOU CATCH A PINK WEAN ELBOW.
I LOOKED AT MY HAND AND SAW I HAD SIX KNUCKLES.
>> Stephen: CAN YOU SIGN IT?
>> NO ONE HAS EVER SIGNED A CAST OF MINE.
>> Stephen: HAVE YOU HAD OTHER CASTS?
>> I BROKE MY THUMB.
>> Stephen: "STAY SWEET."
( LAUGHTER )
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WHAT AN HONOR.
>> I AM HONORED.
>> Stephen: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
EVEN WITH A BROKEN HAND YOU COULD KICK MY ASS, RIGHT?
OH, DEFINITELY.
>> Stephen: I THOUGHT SO.
WHAT I DON'T KNOW IS HOW LONG DID YOU-- HOW LONG DID YOU
FIGHT?
I KNOW YOU WERE A MEDALIST IN JUDO AT THE OLYMPICS.
HOW LONG YOU HAVE BEEN FIGHTING IN YOUR LIFE?
>> OH, GOD.
MY FIRST JUDO TOURNAMENT WAS ON MY 11th BIRTHDAY.
SO THAT'S... THAT'S A WHILE.
21 YEARS.
>> Stephen: HOW DO YOU-- HOW DO YOU HAVE ALL YOUR TEETH?
IF I EAT, LIKE, TOO CRISP OF A BAGEL I'M LIKE, "THESE ARE LOOSE
NOW.
OF.
>> MY DENTIST ACTUALLY TOLD ME I HAVE SOME OF THE DEEPEST ROOTS
HE'S EVER SEEN.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
>> IF ANYTHING I THINK I'LL BREAK THEM IN HALF.
I DON'T THINK I WILL KNOCK THEM OUT.
>> Stephen: THAT'S AN INTERESTING COMPLIMENT.
YOU HAVE SOME OF THE DEEPEST ROOTS.
>> HE ALSO SAID I HAD THE NICEST INCISORS HE'D EVER SEEN.
NO BRACE S.
>> Stephen: WOW.
YOU'RE LIVING ONE OF YOUR LIFE DREAMS.
YOU BECAME A CHARACTER IN THE "MORTAL KOMBAT" VIDEO GAME.
WHO IS SONYA BLADE?
AND WHY IS THAT A BIG DEAL FOR YOU?
>> SONYA BLADE IS-- SHE'S A DEFENDER OF EARTH ROME IN MORTAL
KOMBAT.
MORTAL KOMBAT, WHICH I GOT INTRODUCED TO AS A KID, IT'S THE
FIRST TIME I SAW ONE OF THE STRONGEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
SELECTED TO DEFEND EARTH WOULD BE A WOMAN.
WHEN YOU'RE A KID AND YOU HAVE SISTERS, "YOU SAY, "I CALL THAT
ONE."
AND I SAID, "I CALL SONYA BLADE."
AND SHE WAS JUST LIKE THAT MODEL FOR ME OF I WANTED TO GROW UP
AND BE THE STRONGEST ON EARTH LIKE SONYA BLADE.
I LITERALLY TRIED TO DO THAT AS CLOSE AS I COULD IN REAL LIFE.
AND I GET TO BE SONYA BLADE.
I GOT TO BE HER CORONA INTOAB ARM BAR?
>> Stephen: I'M SORRY?
>> IT'S WHEN YOU THROW SOMEBODY WITH THEIR FEET AROUND THEIR
HEAD AND YOU BREAK THEIR ARM.
>> Stephen: NOW I BE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
THERE YOU GO.
GOTCHA.
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO RECORDUE HAVE TO RECORD EVERY POSSIBLE EVENT
BECAUSE IN A VIDEO GAME-- THERE IS A SCRIPT BUT IT'S EVERY
POSSIBLE COMBINATION OF EVENTS HAS TO BE RECORDED.
WHAT IS IS IT LIKE TO DO THAT?
>> MORTAL KOMBAT, THE STORY MODE IS A LOT LIKE DOING A MOVIE, BUT
DUBBING OVER AND TRYING TO FIT YOUR MOUTH TO WHAT IT FITS.
BUT THE VIDEO GAME PART, IT'S LIKE YOU GET TO PLAY UP THE--
YOU KNOW, YOU PUT THE CONTROLLER DOWN AND THE PERSON IS JUST
BOUNCING, YOU KNOW, WHILE YOU GO TO MAKE A SANDWICH IN THE OTHER
ROOM.
YOU DO THE BOUNCE.
>> Stephen: LIKE THIS?
>> I GET TO BOUNCE NEXT TO THE THING AND BE LIKE, "DO YOU WANT
TO FIGHT?" YOU KNOW, "THIS IS NOT THE LAST
YOU'VE SEEN OF ME."
YOU KNOW?
>> Stephen: WHAT ABOUT THE SOUND EFFECTS?
WHEN YOUR CHARACTER GETS HIT, IS IT YOU GOING-- HUHH!"
CAN I HEAR SOME OF THE SOUND EFFECTS OF YOU BEING HURT?
>> THESE ARE EFFORT NOISES.
>> OH!
OH!
NO!
>> Stephen:
YOU FEEL THE EFFORT, RIGHT?
>> Stephen: SO NICE-- I'LL SHAKE THIS HAND.
