About this episode
AEW’s Hellbent Vixen Viva Van dives into her unique journey from Little Saigon to All Elite Wrestling, and the unbelievable story of how she helped Vietnam Pro Wrestling get their very first wrestling ring. Viva breaks down the grassroots movement that brought pro wrestling to Vietnam, the GoFundMe that changed everything, and what it meant to wrestle in Ho Chi Minh City for the very first time. She talks about her WWE private tryout, how the rejection lit a fire under her, her grind across the indies, training at the NJPW LA Dojo, and the moment she found out (at the same time as the fans) that she was about to wrestle on AEW Dynamite. Viva also shares amazing stories about wrestling Timeless Toni Storm on AEW Rampage, her metal-inspired ring entrance, her time singing in a death-metal band, discovering wrestling through video games, and growing up speaking only Vietnamese. Plus, she reveals her dream matches in AEW and Japan.
