Nita Strauss On The “Rock Girl” Invasion Of WWE
Between her performance of Shinsuke Nakamura’s entrance music at
, Nita Strauss has quickly certified herself as a recognizable rocker within the professional wrestling world.
Before her most recent performance, Strauss rocked the house with Lzzy Hale at 2018’s WWE
Evolution. Speaking with Wrestling Inc. Managing Editor Nick Hausman on the
Wrestling Inc. Daily, Strauss detailed what that night meant to her.
“It was amazing,” Strauss said. “I feel like Evolution was a victory for so many women in so many industries, even those of us that aren’t pro wrestlers. There are women all over the world, whether it’s musicians like myself or bankers or race car drivers or anybody, a neurosurgeon, that’s sort of in a boy’s job. To get to see these incredible, beautiful, strong athletes getting to go out there and have a night to themselves to showcase what they can do, I would have been just as excited to watch it
In 2008, Cryme Tyme – the duo of JTG and the late Shad Gaspard – aligned themselves with John Cena and the trio formed a new faction called Cryme Tyme Cenation. They began appearing together on live events and TV shows, and even vandalized JBL’s limo on the July 7th episode of RAW.
However, the faction was discontinued abruptly when Cena began his feud with Batista. During his recent appearance on
The Wrestling Inc. Daily, JTG said he was never given a reason why the stable was broken up.
“I have no idea,” said JTG. “I learned a lot working with John Cena, because we had to definitely step up to the plate and hit some home runs. Because working with Cena meant we were in the main event scene.

“Well, it wasn’t easy. As a human being, as a person, imagine this little kid from El Paso, from Juarez having a dream all his life and then getting there to the biggest company in the world thinking that things are going to be amazing and have an opportunity because of your talent,” de Oro described. “Unfortunately, it’s not about talent anymore, and that’s the truth. It’s unfortunate for a lot of people and a lot of amazing wrestlers.
“It’s not your talent anymore. It’s whoever they point the finger at, and that’s how it is and it’s unfortunate because you go in with a mindset of I want to accomplish everything. You want to take over the world. You want to do all these amazing things, and then through the years, I realized it wasn’t about that anymore.

Independent wrestling star Tony Deppen was on a recent episode of
The Wrestling Inc. Daily. Deppen has been seen on Ring of Honor TV, most recently at the closing moments of ROH

as part of Brody King’s new stable, and Wrestling Inc. Managing Editor Nick Hausman asked Deppen if he has signed a contract with ROH.
“I’m still an independent contractor,” Deppen revealed. “There will be more things to come. People are thinking I’m trying to work them, but no, I’m not signed to them at all.”
The fallout from the angle, that also includes Homicide and Chris Dickinson, is still in its early stages, but VLNC UNLTD (Violence Unlimited) have established themselves as a force within ROH. Hausman asked Deppen if he believes there will be more signings post-pandemic.
