She made the Rumble entertaining
Never heard of Chelsea Green until she appeared at the Royal Rumble. I remember watching her backstage segment and first match after the Rumble and laughing my ass off at how naturally funny her “Karen” gimmick is. Her facial expressions, her selling, and her comedic timing were what made her a favorite for me right away. She's brilliant.

Knew of her cuz of Tough Enough but besides All In hadnt really seen much of her til the Rumble. Year removed, definitely in my top ten
She's been excellent since her return. It's was definitely the right choice bringing her back.
Her mindset is very refreshing. We always hear the stories of the many wrestlers that have certain expectations, how much being the protagonist of certain moments is their goal, but Chelsea is in it just to make good moments regardless in the position she is in.
She has one of the sharpest wrestling minds, without a doubt. Her spots in this years rumble were brilliant, comedy gold!

Samantha manages to completely capture the essence of Chelsea Green in her announcement.
I first saw Chelsea Green at ROH Final Battle 2014 in NYC’s Terminal 5 . She was walking amongst the crowd and you could feel the star power oozing off of her even back then. Happy to see how far she’s come. Side note, the Fight Without Honor main event between Jay Briscoe and Adam Cole at that event was legendary.
An hour passed by so quickly on this one! I wish it was 2 hours long - she’s such a great conversation!
Chelsea was the low key SUPERSTAR of the Rumble this year.
It’s so refreshing to hear someone like her so real and honnest in her words and opinions about wrestling. Glad she is getting her flowers that she deserved in her first run
The evolution of Chelsea from Tough Enough Chelsea Green, to Reklusa, to Laurel Van Ness, to NXT’s Chelsea Green, Impact Wrestling’s Chelsea Green all the way to now also resonates with Matt’s story from a Major Brother, an Edgehead, to Long Island Loudmouth Zack Ryder, Long Island Iced Z Zack Ryder, that dumb “gratitude era”, all the way to the Indie God and the Deathmatch King. Matt Cardona and Chelsea Green are in their best form, Chelsea Green being a former tag champ and I would say 2023’s breakout star in WWE, Matt winning championships here and there. If Matt deserves a second WWE run, he’s earned one; he gets to do it as Matt Cardona now since he’s gained all rights to the Zack Ryder name (courtesy of the Z! True Long Island Story revival video featuring Steph De Lander). Chelsea coming back has really brought new life in the women’s division. It’s more diverse, and all those dumb gimmick matches that made women uncomfortable are dead and gone, it’s all about showcasing their wide range of skills in the ring now whether it’s a normal match or a good gimmick match. Plus Chelsea’s earned her iconic introduction. I wish the ring announcer at the other company could have done that for a long time when he was still in WWE; he had one for John Cena, but eventually it was taken away from him. Samantha Irvin now still retains her Chelsea Green intro, which is a joy.
Chelsea Green is my favourite act right now. I hope she becomes Women's Champion in 2024.
As someone who's watched her since she was in Impact as the hot mess, I'm really proud of her and where she's come. Another great interview, Chris.
she should really be in the title discussion, she's amazing. protect chelsea green at all costs🙏🏻
Honestly she was probably the best part of this year's Rumble.
This was an interesting interview Chris. The one thing i always love about your interviews is they remind me of two people sitting on a front porch down South having a conversation. Keep up the great work Chris. Your interviews are always interesting and well done.
Another great interview Chris... thank you for all what you do in bringing us the up close and personal stories of these wrestlers. It is soooo cool to the see the real side of these people and not just their character.

@@matthewlo7868 Well, thank the Gods that both of them are OUT now!!! I think Kevin's gone now, if not he will be soon!
She’s a step up above most of her peers, she’s won so many Championships compared to the others, Savage! She is also fluid among her gimmicks whether it be Laura Van Ness, Robert Stone brand, Karen, or even as her husband’s valet. They are all so entertaining to watch!
Other female wrestlers: "I want a push, and a championship run and my own locker room and.." Chelsea: "Dude, I just want to work. Just give me something" Love her dedication and understanding of the industry. She's been amazing since her return.
I became a huge fan of hers over the last few months. Her character work is top notch. The camera loves her.
Hyped to watch this all
Thank you so much for an amazing interview! Chelsea is amazingly talented and absolutely gorgeous ❤
You know what’s great about CVV?! How he interacts with them! It’s not an interview, it’s more of a conversation! He doesn’t get star struck or fan boys, he is calm and friendly. Refreshing!
Such a great interview!
i was one of the few who was happy to see her back at the rumble and disappointed on how they used her to get eliminated in 5 seconds but to hear that she is happy about that is really awesome.
Chelsea Green is such a refreshing change. I had an opportunity to speak with her, when she toured Australia before returning to the wwe. So down to earth and friendly with absolutely no ego. She’s Happy to chat with fans, it Was a good 5-10min conversation about dogs and life with a bit of wrestling thrown in.
Chelsea has been easily one of my favorite women on the roster. I hope she gets her flowers in the near future.
Been waiting for this one!!
Thank you to you both for this great Interview. IT was more a conversation between Two Great People. @chelseagreen 👏👏👏
Loved this interview 💜
Samantha’s announcing is the greatest thing ever, I love it
For years, I've boldly stated that no one in wrestling hustles harder than Chelsea. Whether she's Laurel Van Ness, going All In, or at WWE, she maximizes every opportunity. She's also, seemingly, a great person. Her success is well deserved!
I became a fan after the Royal Rumble, she’s so hilarious 😆
Love your interviews always Chris, and Chelsea is great 🙌💪
I love watching a lot of your interviews but I'm glad you got to do this one a lot ! Chelsea has easily become one of my favorites on the women's roster. Both character work but she also plays down in ring ! She's actually very solid. I know she doesn't care about winning things as much as she mentioned but I hope she wins the women's MITB. I feel she's the type to hold it forever and make it so fun to have.
I’m a bit disappointed that Chris didn’t talk about her run with Matt during the GCW but when she and Matt ripped off Sandman and Francine. When she and Matt were just doing everything to piss those fans off. Fucking great

Also: Chelsea was the most entertaining part of rumble 2024 for me
That was great interview Chris u did with Chelsea Green enjoy it she so entertaining & funny
Love Chelsea! So funny, solid wrestler and from this you can tell she’s all about the business of wrestling! Can’t wait to see what else she has in store 🙌🏼
I didn't really get her character in Impact. But ever since she came back to WWE. For some reason I've loved her character. Very entertaining
Not enough people talk about how great Lucha Underground was! Chelsea was great there and that greatness has continued. CVV with another banger interview!
The work she has put in - one day - she deserves a run. What a comeback. She gets the business and it shows.
She’s great and I was at that Rumble when she debuted and everyone was like, who was that?? lol I loved when she was guest commentator and was getting the names wrong “Matthew” Cole and “Cody” Graves lol, hilarious!
My favorite character of hers was Laurel Van Ness. She was amazing in that role. I wish she'd bring a version of that character to WWE.
42:50 man, I used to work at the Keg when I was in high school. It was the last franchised one, owned by the nephew of the founder. Now I feel so spoiled eating Keg food all the time then.
I had friends over to watch this year’s rumble who haven’t watched wrestling in years, Chelsea was their favorite by far
Chelsea Green 2nd run in WWE so far has been great. She's nailing her character and being displayed on weekly shows a lot now.
I'm happy that she came back, Unfortunate that she got injured then released before we actually see her take off!... she was awesome! She's very entertaining
Well, Chelsea is awesome. Totally ace and wasn't expecting to love her less than 10 mins into the interview. LOVE IT
I loved her at this year Royal Rumble. She add the comedy side that the match needed. ❤
Loooove this girl!!! She is so talented I really enjoy her everytime she is in the ring or backstage
She gets it, she's one of the few wrestlers that truly understands wrestling, it's not about holding 1000 world titles, it's about making the audience feel a certain way when your music hits. Stone Cold, Lita, Undertaker, Chyna, John Cena, Roman, Cm Punk and many of the greats have achieved this.
I remember when she was in her first Royal Rumble and people clowned her but I was intrigued. She’s slowly getting long overdue attention and respect. I loved her Lucha Underground persona.
Always amazing interviews, i really hope you interview the garcia/bella twins one day.
Fellow Canadians!! 🍁🇨🇦🍁❤ Adore her!! ❤❤
Chelsea’s mindset is really inspiring!
The fact that the “Chelsea green” call from Samantha irvin became normal for about a month was so sad I’m SOOO HAPPY it’s back
Chelsea shows why this is an art. A lot of Black and Gold NXT call up’s weren’t translating to the main roster because they had no characters.
Chris, they have The Keg Steakhouse here in Arizona lol. I laughed hard listening you guys speak on it lol.
I literally just ordered Hawkins cheezies off Amazon because of this interview. Thank you chelsea.
Yoooo I was telling myself the same thing man, she would have been an awesome divas champion. There just something about her that reminds me of that era.
This interview just made me love Chelsea green as a person
46:20 it’s so crazy that they denied this and then gave this gimmick to Arianna Grace. They would be an amazing tag team along with Maxxine and Piper.
Chelsea was absolutely my favorite part of this year's Royal Rumble. She is incredibly funny!
Fantastic interview! Chelsea would be a wonderful host for SNL.
As someone being born and raised in Oshawa, I always love it when you mention the cities and towns of Durham Region. But unfortunately Oshawa cannot claim Test as he was from Whitby and Henry St High
Chelsea Green is arguably the R Truth of the women’s division💯👑& that’s a compliment!
This interview made me a huge fan of Chelsea. You must respect the work ethic and the dedication to the craft. Thank you @chrisVanVilet
She’s been one of my favorites since she returned, i had this thought she should win MITB in Toronto this year
I remember the first time I saw her on Tough Enough I said to myself that she was going to win it, that’s how I instantly got connected to her. She obviously didn’t win it but what an amazing career she’s having! Absolutely love her work. For sure the most entertaining woman in wrestling right now
We have a bunch of "the Keg" locations in Arizona. I have never gone there but I am gonna try it out.❤
As a Major Pod fan I’m so proud of Chelsea. Hope Matt can join her.
Always loved her since Tough Enough, great to see her finally getting a good run in WWE! 😁
Chelsea mentioning Hawkins Cheezies is epic! No better cheezie in the world!
This interview made me a bigger Chelsea Green fan than I already was.
