Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGreca. On today's episode, myself and Natty Neidhart talk to Chelsea Green. Wow! You're not going to believe it. Must listen right here on the Busted Open Podcast.
this is the busted open podcast she is just unbelievable but this is taking it to another level after what she's gone through the last week and natty let's bring in chelsea greed who joins us here
Thank you so much for coming on. I mean, you had a heart procedure done, a heart surgery. And now days later you're here. And I said to Dave, when, when I found out that you were still going to make the show, I was like, this is so Chelsea. This is what Chelsea does. She, this girl works with a broken ankle.
This girl works through every condition, every element, because you are just like you're, you're a workhorse, but you're also just somebody that has so much passion for like everything in your life. So thank you so much for coming on.
Chapter 2: What health challenges did Chelsea Green face recently?
Thank you guys. Thank you for having me. You know, when I tell someone I'm going to do something, I do it. And I told you at Lash's beautiful bridal shower, I was going to do it. And I knew I was getting heart surgery. So I'm doing it.
No, and that's how this came about, Dave, is that we were... Chelsea and I were sitting next to each other at Lash Legends Bridal Shower. We were sipping tea. We had our little bonnets on. We were dressed and we were feeling super pretty. And we... I was like, Chelsea, I want to have you on the show because Dave and I talk about you a lot on the show because...
You know, we try to give these little lessons on the show amongst gossip and spilling tea and everything else. Like, you are always such a great lesson. And I bring you up all the time because I always figure we have new viewers, new listeners listening. But you're somebody that I just use as an example a lot of do not listen.
wait for people to give you an opportunity, create your own, make your own stuff happen, build. And I think you are such a builder. And I know John Cena talks about this because when John came to the dungeon, he brought you up and he brought you up as like a case study. He's like, look at Chelsea. She always finds the story and she builds her own shit. So talk to me a little bit about that.
Why is that important to you?
I mean, here's the thing is that I feel like with wrestling, it's never just an easy path, right? Like for the girls who were on the indies, there's always so many struggles and so many ups and downs. And so when I finally got back, I was just like, I'm going to use this. not as a moment to get to the top because at the end of the day, we can't control that.
We absolutely cannot control our place on the card. We can alter it a little bit, but we can't control it. So instead, I'm going to use this to try to make sure that I have a job forever in another way.
And I think those ways are like elevating other people, making other people look good, doing all the front facing things, the media, the appearances, speaking highly of the company that pays our bills and helps us build our dream homes and things. And just like really being like a positive influence in the law firm. And I was always that person before wrestling.
But for a little while, I lost it in wrestling. I got so, like, caught up in the sauce of it all. And, like, I was doing what a lot of people do. Like, just trying to get to the top. Just trying to get on Raw or SmackDown and go to WrestleMania and stuff like that. But... Like it's so freeing once you realize that you can't control that and that it doesn't matter how much you push.

Chapter 3: How does Chelsea Green maintain her work ethic despite health issues?
I'm totally good. Yeah.
I mean, I think, like, especially because I watched the episode that you're talking about from Unreal. And I watched the show in general. And I think with Unreal, it kind of opened people's eyes up to, like, you know, what you said about us. You know, there's a lot of things that we can't control.
Yes.
And here's the other thing. There's a lot of things that we can control. And you're the epitome of that. Like, you can control your attitude, right? You can control how you treat people. You can control how you act in the locker room and how you welcome people in. You can control your work ethic. And so all of the things that you can control, Chelsea, you go above and beyond.
And then the rest of it, a lot of it is not in our hands. But I will say that you have changed the minds of a lot of people that maybe, I remember when you debuted at Royal Rumble, when you first came back to WWE after getting let go. And I remember because TJ was producing that Royal Rumble with three other producers. But TJ was on that Royal Rumble.
He was like, man, I love working with Chelsea because she's so easygoing. And this is coming from, you know, TJ is very, I feel he's very respected in the industry and he's Like Chelsea's so easy to work with. He goes, I love working with her because she, she'll take something and she'll make it amazing. She'll blow it up and make it even better than we could have even planned. And so it's funny.
And it feels so good when someone was so, like he, seriously, I don't know if people know that DJ is seriously one of the best producers. We all love having him. We all hope that we have him. He some of the best matches that you've ever seen. He's the one producing.
So when these people that I respect so highly say these things about me, I'm like, you know, I really am doing exactly what I aim to do, you know?
And you have the respect of your peers. Yes. And TJ is somebody that he's no bullshit. And that's what I love about him is he's very honest and he knows what he likes and he knows the ones that are working their asses off. And so he says to me, even this last year's Rumble, he was laughing so hard about your spot in the match where Alva pulls you out of the ring.

Chapter 4: What lessons does Chelsea share about creating opportunities in wrestling?
And what I think is interesting about, you know, total divas is like that can change the course of someone's career because the fans decide that when the fans get behind and the fans hijack matches or reactions and things like that, it, I mean, we saw it with truth. We saw it with truth. Like it can change the trajectory of someone's career.
Chapter 5: How does Chelsea Green describe her approach to building her wrestling career?
Sometimes it's terrible. Sometimes we hate it. I can't stand when they interrupt, um, people's promos and I can't stand when they put hashtag we want someone when you're just trying to do your job on social media. But sometimes it does amazing things. And I truly believe that had I not had all that hype behind me,
even pre-unreal um all that hype behind me i don't know that i would have won that u.s title i think that naomi possibly would have won it i think there's other people that could have coming up next more of our conversation with chelsea green your one stop shop for r-a-s-s-l-i and that's wrestling pro wrestling nation 24 7 channel 156
I think that you're so right about momentum. You know what I mean? Because sometimes there's just that very organic momentum and you are somebody that has really, you've just rolled with the punches. I love how, I remember we were, it was a couple years ago. I can't remember two, three years ago, but I remember it was like the Raw after WrestleMania.
You were in a match with someone and it was like, I remember the direction was we were backstage and everybody's finding out what they're doing and you were like, the match was just you versus someone and it was like okay it's going to be short and it's going to be so and so, so and so over on Chelsea, Dave. I am not kidding when I tell you that Chelsea.
she she said with a smile on her face because that's what we do like we we we're actors you know we're actors like like imagine imagine tom hanks sitting on the bench eating the box of chocolates and steven spielberg says hey like this is what i want you to do you're going to talk about you know life's like a box of whatever imagine tom hanks saying to steven spielberg no i don't want to eat the chocolates i don't want to talk about this i don't want exactly
Well, Tom Hanks does what Steven Spielberg wants him to do because Steven Spielberg is the director. Imagine, you know what I mean? So that's the thing is that Chelsea's like, listen, this is what my direction is today. This is what my bosses want from me. But not only am I gonna do what they're gonna ask me to do, I'm going to hit a home run. I'm gonna knock it out of the park.
I'm gonna do this so well that by the end of this, unfortunately, everybody's gonna be talking about me.
And that's like such a funny thing about wrestling, right? Like if you just do your job and you do it to the best of your freaking ability, like they don't get what they want out of it. You get what you want. And I've had that happen for three years now. One time I actually got called out Too raw. You were there, Natty. I remember us talking about it. I got called too raw.
I was on my way on like a 16-hour journey home to see my grandma that was in a hospital doing terribly. She's 92 years old. I had literally just about landed. I had landed in Canada in Calgary. I was going to go to my next flight, and they called me into raw to lose to Jade in 30 seconds. And I thought, if I don't bump my ass off... This was all for nothing.
