Mandy Rose says she’s still not sure how to feel about Ronda Rousey taking shots at pro wrestling, but the remarks definitely caught her off-guard.
Mandy was a guest on Better Together with Maria Menounos and talked about how Rousey claimed wrestlers were somehow disrespecting the “real” fighters of the world. Mandy said it’s hard to compare mixed martial arts and wrestling but both of them are still very physical sports.
“Everyone can have their opinions, but it’s like, I think it’s hard to compare the two. You are having those fights only a few times a year, if that, maybe, and we’re wrestling 300 days out of the year. You still get a pretty good beating on your body…she’s done both, which is a great accomplishment, I don’t know how to feel about it. It was a little taken aback.”

On a lighter note, Mandy’s (former?) partner-in-crime, Sonya Deville, prank called the show as “Sarah Deloche” from Florida to try and reason with the Golden Goddess. Sonya pretended to be a fan and tried convincing Mandy that a boy shouldn’t be a reason to fight, but quickly dropped the ruse and told Mandy that she’s been trying to talk to her all week.
Sonya (disguising voice): “I think Sonya’s actually a really unique and important part of your relationship…Maybe you’re hard on her and you should continue taking steps to mend your relationship.”
Mandy: “Yeah, um…I mean, um…I don’t know what to say to Sonya right now. She’s been trying to call and I don’t know what to say to her.”
Sonya (disguising voice): “Maybe she’s your best friend and she loves you. Y’all were like sisters!…You and Sonya, since day one don’t let boys get in between you!”
Mandy: “I agree boys should not get in between —“
Sonya: “– Mandy, Mandy, it’s me Sonya! I’ve been trying to get a hold of you all week!”
Mandy: “This is the way you’re trying to get through to me? You’re PRANKING!? I don’t have anything to say to you.”
