EP. 17- Veda Scott: Beginnings, Bitstrips & A Battle With Iron

Gregory Iron reunites for an interview with his long time tag team partner -- and one time enemy -- Veda Scott!   For the first time ever, Greg, Veda, and former writer and producer Aaron Bauer sit together to discuss the career of Veda Scott, and the story of Iron and Scott's team, "Hope & Change."   Veda tells us of her adventures out of the US over the past couple of years. Veda also shares her first memories of pro wrestling, discovering wrestling was fake before Santa and The Easter Bunny, her early wrestling influences, the origin of her name, the formation of Greg and Veda as a tag team, how Aaron helped the group behind the scenes, wrestling psychology and the motivation behind the character changes, using social media and Bitstrips to forward the angle, Greg's real life experiences with domestic violence to take the story to a darker place, and the strategic planning and the dangers involved with Veda & Greg's feud ending cage match in 2014, and we find out what's next for Veda Scott.   Before the interview, Aaron chats Greg up about his first memories producing promos for Veda, and Greg gives us another Hulk Hogan "Lie of the Week," focusing on one where Hogan claimed he was supposed to fight inside the octagon.   Get an extended edition of the podcast over on our Patreon, featuring 20 extra minutes with Veda!
