Chelsea Green Got a Heads-Up from Matt Cardona About Her WWE Release in 2021
Chelsea Green revealed that her husband, Matt Cardona, warned her just minutes before WWE officially released. In April 2021, WWE released Chelsea Green along with several other talents.

The news gave her a brief moment to mentally prepare. Advertisement 'Matt called me, like, three minutes before I was fired, and said, 'You're about to get fired.' I don't know how,' Green recalled.

Chelsea Green immediately went into planning mode After the call, she immediately shifted into planning mode. She made a list of promotions she hadn't had the chance to work with before joining WWE.

I went to a show at Muskoka's Kee to Bala for the first time. Here are 3 things I wish I'd known beforehand
The Kee to Bala is just something different. I've only heard good things about the venue, located at 1012 Bala Falls Rd. in Muskoka Lakes, since I moved to the area a few years ago. I decided to put those reviews to the test by watching one of my favourite artists, Billy Corgan and the Machines of God , at their June 11 show. No doubt. It's better than I expected. I moved around the venue's floor throughout the show, and I enjoyed Corgan's loud, iconic and legendary sound in every single spot. The Kee's wooden structure makes the acoustics sound warm but clear. You can feel how the floor shakes under your feet with the bass drums. The place also has a patio with a truly unique view of Bala Bay, where you can have a few drinks while waiting for the show to start. The Kee to Bala patio on June 11. Three friends having a drink at the Kee to Bala patio before a show on June 11. However, the feeling of proximity between the artist and the audience is what sets The Kee apart from other venues. The venue has a capacity of around 1,200 people, and no matter where you see the show, you will be just a few metres away from the artist.

Midland resident Tom Taylor, who has visited the Kee for 40 years, says that the feeling of proximity is what makes him return.

Shows are always very intimate and very personal. It is an incredible experience,' Taylor said. Based on the people's faces I came across after the show, Taylor and I were not the only ones who had a good time. Two Billy Corgan fans at the Kee to Bala on June 11.

While the price of drinks inside — just like any other venue — is higher than the regular price, the food offered inside ranges from $3 to $18. Drink prices at the Kee to Bala. Not considering tickets and gas, I spent $2.71 on pop and $12 on chicken fingers, for a total of $14.71. The bars at the venue don't take cash, so you better have your cards handy. I arrived at the place around one hour before the doors opened, thinking that finding a parking spot could be a struggle during a sold-out event. However, parking is not an issue at all. You can use the township's free Precambrian Shield parking lot located on Muskoka Rd., just one street away from the venue. You can use the township's free Precambrian Shield parking lot located on Muskoka Road. There are other free parking options in Bala, but as far as I was able to see, this lot is more than enough to find a spot easily. No matter how busy the venue is. If you arrive early, like me, you will have to wait outside in line before the doors open. I found myself hitting my arms and neck multiple times, trying (unsuccessfully) to ward off mosquitoes. Bringing bug spray won't hurt, especially if you don't want to deal with the scratching the day after — just like I'm doing while I write this column.
