So today we have a few interesting stories to get into with Santino Marella’s daughter
Bianca, Shayna Baszler opening up about the Lilly Storyline, Vince McMahon’s rare appearance
and more
Let’s start things off with Santino Marella’s daughter Bianca
Bianca first went viral not that long ago after Santino Marella took to twitter to directly
tweet at Triple H and Stephanie McMahon about how she’s ready and how WWE needs to give
her a chance
The post went extremely viral, some fans even had no idea that Santino Marella had a daughter
in her early 20s that was training to be a pro wrestler
So Santino’s post really helped to introduce Bianca to an even bigger audience of fans
that were completely unaware about her
Well Bianca is back in the headlines after an amazing new interview with Chris Van Vliet
Bianca opened up about a lot interesting topics and even explained how her WWE tryout went
as well
She had this to say on the feedback they gave to her:
“A lot of it was keep working and get more experience.
I know my mic skills are pretty solid, it was really just the wrestling aspect of things.
Just to get more comfortable with the wrestling aspect of things.
Unfortunately, though because of the pandemic, that got put on pause for me, which was unfortunate.”
“Last year, when it hit, I had so many matches lined up.
It was unfortunate that it happened, so I had to find other ways to improve.
I studied my own matches, stayed in shape and thought of ways to rebrand myself.”
Bianca also spoke with Spencer Love back in May and revealed some more info from that
2019 tryout back then:
“I think at that point I’d had 13 matches, I obviously – I was extremely green.
But, at the same time, I was working out every single day, I was preparing for this.”
“I was eating very clean.
I’d been trying different diets for a year.
My mind was 100% ‘let’s go, let’s do this.’
And I knew, okay, maybe I’m not gonna be the best wrestler.
But you know what?
I’m good on the mic and I’m willing to put in the work”
“For me, I was kind of hoping they would see ‘oh, wow, she works really hard.
She doesn’t give up.’
I know a lot of the stuff that they do in tryouts is meant to wear you down to see mentally
how strong you are.
That was my biggest thing was I wanted to show my mental strength, I wanted to show
my toughness, that you make me run until I throw up, and I will throw up, and I will
keep on running.
You’re gonna have to call an ambulance before I stopped running.
That was what I wanted to show, that that animal inside.”
So if there’s anything to take from these new interviews with Bianca it’s that she’s
extremely passionate about being a second generation superstar and is willing to give
it her all
Bianca also seems to speak very highly on her mic skills as well, which is another great
thing
There’s been a lot of great superstars in the past that have really gone far because
of their amazing mic skills, so if Bianca can truly bring it on the mic like they all
did, then great things are on the horizon for sure
Another great thing about these generational wrestlers coming up right now in their early
20s is that they have their father, their mother, or whoever else in the their family
to train them and get advice from
That’s why the potential and expectations for someone like Dominik Mysterio is so high
because his legendary father is also his trainer
So same sort of thing for Bianca, her source of everything wrestling related can come right
from her own father
There’s even been cases where the child surpasses the success of their parent in the
wrestling industry
Perfect example of that would be Carmella and her father.
Carmella is a former world champion, multiple Money In The Bank wins, and so much more,
while her father wasn’t really able to break into the world title picture during his career
But is it harder for a generational superstar at the same time as well?
Well yeah, if you’re coming from a wrestling family, you’re instantly going to be compared
to them and everyone is going to have high expectations for you compared to a fresh wrestler
that has no wrestling family background
So you do have an extra chip on your shoulder, but like we’ve seen with generational superstars
like Charlotte, some of them do live up and even surpass the expectations
So we’re wishing Bianca the best and hopefully we do see her inside of the WWE ring here
in the near future

The Alexa Bliss and Shayna Baszler Storyline has been all over the headlines lately and
has been the talk online for several weeks now
There’s just been this large group of fans online that trashed everything that happened
with Alexa Bliss, Shayna, and Lilly
The overall backstory with everything for Alexa vs Shayna has been more on the weaker
side and obviously it seems like that feud is over now since the money in the bank match
is coming up
But the fans’ main issue was some of the things that happened between Shayna and Lilly
Fans also compared NXT shayna to current day Shayna
NXT Shayna was this absolute brutal force in the ring
She wasn’t going down easily and was nearly impossible to defeat a majority of the time
Current day Shayna Baszler just finished losing to Reginald and basically continues to get
pinned on a weekly basis on Raw
So what they had Shayna doing for the Lilly Storyline and all the constant losses have
been the talk online for a while now
Shayna Baszler recently spoke with Sports illustrated and discussed some of the recent
things that have been discussed online
Shayna had this to say:
“It’s always been a constant juggling act, and that’s not just on Raw,l.
That’s also [been the case in] my time in NXT and the indies.
I come from a very old-school professional wrestling tradition.
Josh Barnett and Billy Robinson were my main coaches, and they’re really, really old-school.”
“Back in Billy’s day, the wrestling mentality was that you weren’t going to beat someone
in the ring until people believed you could beat them out on the street.
It was a very different mindset, and that’s just not how professional wrestling is presented
today.
It’s been a juggling act to stay true to my martial lineage in professional wrestling,
that style I bring where people believe what I do.”
“It’s two-sided.
It’s special.
There are wrestlers that work for 20 years to build that legitimacy in the eyes of the
fans, and I have it when I come through the curtain.
It’s also a curse.
Not everyone on the roster knows how to deal with that style and mindset.”
“I hope Billy would be understanding that I’m trying to do this balancing act between
my old-school, pure wrestling style and the way it’s presented on TV today.”
“I need to show that I can be counted on to nail whatever it is I’m being asked to
do.
It’s easy to be a badass tyrant like I was in NXT.
I can totally fit that role.
After establishing myself as that, it’s important to show I can cover a wide range
of what professional wrestling is today.”
“It’s like music.
Some people like country, some like heavy metal.
Not everything is for everyone, so I understand why some people roll their eyes when I do
comedy.
But I’m established as what I am.
All it takes is one sentence from a promo delivered properly.
I am a legitimate badass; that’s always there for me.
I’m glad I can be on Raw and show a wider range.”
So everything Shayna said was true.
Obviously the supernatural storylines are not going to be for everyone
Some fans love them, some fans don’t ever want to see them again, so there’s always
going to be a split there
But it looks like Shayna sees no problem with these new roles and story because it allows
her to showcase her range as not only a wrestler, but a sports entertainer As well

Vince McMahon went viral this week after making an extremely rare public appearance
Vince McMahon appeared at one of Dave Chappelle’s shows over the weekend
McMahon posed with comedian Donnell Rawlings backstage at the show, Stephanie McMahon was
also spotted in background
But the picture of Vince McMahon just went viral since we don’t really see the chairman
out and about so often, so it was something out of the ordinary for him
