Today, worlds collide, and actress Emily Bett Rickards from the new movie “Queen of the Ring,” joins Nikki and Brie to talk about stepping into the ring, what inspires her away from movie sets,
Emily breaks down getting the role of women’s wrestling legend Mildred Burke, all of her work in the gym, learning her way around the ring, training with Al Snow, working with Toni Storm, some of the challenges of making an indie film, and Mildred’s legacy.
