Matt Cardona reflects on celebrating his wife, Chelsea Green's, career and legacy through the release of WWE collectibles that feature her.
Matt Cardona is a major professional wrestling collector. He also happens to be married to Chelsea Green and isn't shy about discussing how it was always one of his dreams to be with a WWE Diva, and now he's married to a history-making WWE women's Superstar.
Matt Cardona recently spoke with Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp at the Squared Circle Expo. During the discussion, he revealed that he is helping her curate memorabilia of her career. He says he's happy that, even though she's not as obsessed with collecting or as much of a wrestling fan as he is, she will have these memories. He's also just proud of her, as a husband, to see her continue to reach these milestones.
"I collect her stuff through her. Well, she collects through me. She doesn’t care about her Topps cards, her Panini cards, the variants, the parallels... I love it. It's the best and I love it because I know one day—not that she doesn't appreciate it—she's just not a super fan like me. She didn't grow up playing with wrestling figures like me. I had the Stacey Keibler or the Trish or the Tori, right? I was a teenager playing with those, collecting with them. But now, my wife is one of these. So it's super cool for me, and I'm super proud of her to see her get like an Ultimate. For all you nerds out there—and I’m a fellow nerd—you gotta be the tippy-top to get an Ultimate, especially if you're a female. So, for her to get an ultimate, like she's had the basic, the Elite, now she's getting an Ultimate? It's a big deal."
Chelsea Green wants to see Matt Cardona be able to live his dream once again and return to WWE. Read her comments on that matter here.
