Michin Talks Unique Dumpster Match And Long History With Chelsea Green
WWE star Michin appeared on Casual Conversations With The Classic, where she talked about a number of topics including the Dumpster Match she had with inaugural WWE Women’s United States Champion Chelsea Green on the October 4th episode of Smackdown.
Michin said, “With Chelsea and the Dumpster Match, oh my goodness. We’ve had such a long history that I can’t imagine…so the dumpster was a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be. So when I saw it, I was like, oh boy. Chelsea might hit her head, and that’s not what I want to do to her. But I think because me and Chelsea, we joke all the time because we can communicate with each other without even speaking, which is crazy. But that’s just how our history has formed. So it’s like I’m just glad it’s with Chelsea because we both trust each other to the point where it’s like, yeah, you can throw me in that little old dumpster. I know you’re not gonna hit my head. It’s like, oh great, pressure’s on me. But I’d never had a dumpster match before, so it just felt like someone released me into a ball pit to just go and have fun. I told her, even though you won [the title] and we had all these special moments, just know I’m not gonna stop chasing you, so this isn’t over.”
Design Miami 2015: traditional automotive brands “don’t need to be scared” of upstarts including Tesla and Apple – and the cars of the future may not be electric, according to Audi’s head of experiential marketing. Other power sources including fuel cells may turn out to be more effective than batteries, Bernhard Neumann told Dezeen, although he said “the end of the combustion engine will come for sure.” When asked whether brands like Audi felt threatened by the hype around battery-powered electric vehicles being developed by American companies, Neumann said: “I don’t think we need to be scared. We are very aware and we are adapting very fast.” Californian company Tesla has led the charge towards electric cars, launching the Tesla Roadster in 2008, and Apple is widely expected to follow suit.
Mainstream rivals have since raced to catch up and develop battery-powered vehicles. BMW launched its first electric car, the i3, in 2013 while Porsche unveiled its first all-electric sports car in September.
But while petrol is on its way out as a fuel source, its replacement is not yet certain, Neumann added. “That is the million-dollar question. Everybody is thinking now that it is electric, but I also see alternatives. For example the fuel cell.”
Neumann spoke to Dezeen at Design Miami in Florida last week, where the brand presented its forthcoming E-tron Quattro electric sport-utility vehicle. This will be the German car brand’s first all-electric car when it goes on sale in 2018. Yet Audi is hedging its bets, and will also next year showcase a version powered by fuel cells, which convert energy from fuels such as hydrogen into electricity via a chemical reaction rather than combustion.
Audi is also joining Tesla, Google, Apple and others by developing concepts for driverless cars, adapting its RS 7 performance cars to travel at speed around race tracks without a driver. Sven Schuwirth, vice president of brand strategy and digital business at the brand, told Dezeen last month that autonomous vehicles could “disrupt the entire business of domestic flights” as business travellers sleep in their cars rather than fly.
