Nash said that Cargill’s heel turn was very much needed:
“She’s needed to be a f**king heel for so long. She looks like she’s from a f**king Marvel comic movie.”
Nash then shared the story of meeting her at TSA for the first time:
“I just… it was the first time I met her in person… and I was just like, ‘Wow.’ What a f**king… just stunning… everything – the way she’s put together, the way she handles herself.”

• Steve Austin Reveals Why Today’s Wrestlers Can’t Become The Next “Stone Cold”
WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin explained on the Dirty Mo Media podcast why WWE’s current environment prevents another Stone Cold-level character.
It’s about creative restrictions: “I had no restrictor plate on me… I wasn’t afraid to push the envelope.”
Today’s wrestlers can’t do what he did: “It’s a way more friendly setting… a lot more control on television.”
He cited the infamous Brian Pillman gun angle: “He pulled a gun on me on Monday Night RAW… shots were fired… that would never happen today.”
Without freedom, no one can replicate his meteoric rise, said Austin.
• WWE In 2025 Feels Like The Attitude Era In A New Way, Says Ex-WWF Star
The Attitude Era was defined by chaos, charisma, cultural crossover, and mainstream relevance – and according to D’Lo Brown, 2025 wrestling has finally recaptured that energy, just in a different form.
Speaking on the Muscle Memory podcast, D’Lo made a bold statement:
“In 2025, it has the very similar vibe of what Attitude (Era) was because it’s crossing over into pop culture – but in a different way.”
During the ’90s, celebrities, TV stars, and athletes were lining up to appear on WWF programming. In 2025, that same crossover now comes from YouTubers, TikTok influencers, rappers, and viral personalities.
“Now it’s influencers and rap stars… and now wrestling – WWE is on ESPN.”
He described how surreal it felt watching an NFL broadcast and hearing WWE promoted like a professional league:
“I was watching a football game the other day and I saw an advert… the announcer broke in and did an advert for WWE RAW. I’m like, ‘Wait a minute – this never happened.’”
To D’Lo, the indicators are everywhere: Record attendance numbers. Record gates. Major events taking over entire cities.
“This is the record gate for this building… the highest-grossing RAW in history. That’s saying a lot.”
And WrestleMania continues to draw massive tourism surges:
“When you get people traveling to Vegas for two nights in a row – a hundred thousand people taking over the city… wrestling’s cool. Wrestling’s back. And wrestling – it’s in a good place.”
According to a man who lived through one of wrestling’s biggest boom periods, the modern era is undeniably another golden age.
