Alicia Atout discusses working with AEW, Cody Rhodes, AMBY and odd interactions (Exclusive)

The reason I brought that up is, myself, when I started doing interviews, you and Chris Van Vliet were the two people that I'm going, "Man, they just make the role completely their own."

Oh, thank you!

No worries, but one of my favorite things that I actually thought of yours isn't even an interview, which is the most bizarre thing ever.

It was actually a little clip you've done where Su Yung... You're not really interviewing her, I watched the full interview which was amazing as well, but you're trying to get the interview from her and she goes into bite you, which is just complete gold.

On that note, what is the weirdest thing that ever happened to you in an interview?

Oh, gosh, so I was interviewing Rosemary and it was within my first four months of doing wrestling interviews, so I was still getting very used to interviewing people who have very unique personas.

So I was sitting there with The Demon Assassin and we're ending our interview, and she is weirding me out this entire interview. It's like 12 minutes. Right at the end, I go to say, "Well, Rosemary, thank you for your time, I'm just going to scoot out. I'm kind of freaked out, thank you, go back to your hidlings and do your business."

And she goes to say thanks, grabs my hand and she licks it. Straight on, doesn't go to eat it like Su Yung, but she does lick my entire hand, and I was genuinely... No BS here, no gimmicks, I was genuinely so grossed out.

Nothing against Rosemary's hygiene but I just don't want anybody licking me, so that's probably the weirdest thing that happened to me that I'll never forget.

Yeah, definitely a little bit too close for comfort but I mean, it's definitely going to get people watching.

Were you always a wrestling fan? Was that something that was always there in the works or is it something you just more recently went, "Well, it's a good opportunity"?

No, I've been a wrestling fan since I was a really little kid. I used to watch it with my dad when I was three or four years old,

I never really phased out it. There were definitely moments in my teen years where I stopped watching it or was more into it, just like TV shows and everything, but it's always been a constant in my life. That's when my dad said, "Why don't you try interviewing wrestlers?"

It wasn't some random thought, it was him thinking, "She knows a lot about it, she's a genuine fan, let's see if it will be as good as the music interviews," and luckily it all worked out. Definitely, I've always been a fan.

Excellent that means I can put this question to you then...
