By Mike Johnson on 2/1/2018 8:29 AM

On the second episode of Terri Runnel's new podcast "Cigars, Scars, and Superstars" avaiable on the MLWRADIO website, Terri expressed her disapointment in Raw 25 as a participant as well as an observer.

EPISODE 2: RAW 25 BEHIND THE SCENES (JANUARY 30, 2018)

"To be honest, I was very disapointed, I really was"

"we were misused" (about her and fellow divas)

"I wanted for a brief moment some sincerity, and I didn't like that it went straight to this cartoon crap."

" I felt like 'youve got a lot of talent (there) and we are just standing there waving"

"we were mis-used , is the best way to say it, there is a better way for us to be used"

Terri also gave details about the Raw25 taping. Stars were picked up at 11 A.M. and divas rehearsed their "wave at the Camera moment, once on stage and once behind the stage on Barclays practice basketball court.  She also said that divas were made aware of what they would be doing only when they did the first rehearsal on the RAW stage.

"we all kind of dropped our jaws and were like 'youve got to be kidding me" 

"it was disapointing because I loved my WWE/WWF family"

"it was a letdown"

"I didnt hear anyone express anything different than what I just said to you"

She also stated that the reason Goldust was not part of RAW 25 was because he was supposed to be involved in a match or skit with ENZO AMORE.  Plans were shuttled as Enzo was escorted from the building.

Terri also alluded to a possible #metoo moment while "maybe" working for the WWF. She stated that she had documented proof of harassment on her life.

"I was definitely harassed"

(Co Host Matt Koon): would this have happened when you were with the WWF?

Terri: Maybe...
