Join us as we deep dive into this episode to talk about the future star Mariah May from her beginning as a content creator to being involved in one of the best stories to date. we talk about the story that's ALL ABOUT MARIAHThe storyline of "All About Mariah" closely mirrors the plot of "All About Eve," with Mariah May playing the role of the ambitious up-and-comer who gradually usurps the established star, Toni Storm, just as Eve Harrington did with Margo Channing. The parallels between the two stories highlight themes of ambition, manipulation, and the ruthless pursuit of fame.All About Eve and All About Mariah: A Comparative Analysis"All About Mariah" is a clear reference to "All About Eve," the classic 1950s film directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz for 20th Century Fox. In the movie, a young Eve Harrington, played by Anne Baxter, cozies up to Bette Davis' aging Margo Channing, only to shoot herself to superstardom. Harrington grows close to Channing, adopts some of her mannerisms, and becomes a fixture in her life. When Harrington achieves success, she leaves the aging Broadway star in the dust as she ascends to the award-winning spotlight.ComparisonsIntroduction to the Protagonist All About EveAspiring actress Eve Harrington enters the life of established theater actress Margo Channing via Margo's close friend, Karen Richards.All About MariahMariah May enters Toni Storm's life through RJ City.First Meeting All About EveEve meets Margo for the first time as her big fan in the dressing room before a performance.All About MariahMariah meets Toni in a similar fan-like manner.Suspicion of IntentionsAll About EveMargo's maid, Birdie, gets suspicious of Eve's intentions immediately.All About MariahToni's butler, Luther, is similarly suspicious of Mariah's motives.Adopting the Star's PersonaAll About EveEve tries on Margo's costume while nobody is looking.All About MariahMariah always keeps hold of the AEW Women's World title and starts cosplaying as “Toni,” evolving from her rocker gimmick to her outcast gimmick.Becoming the UnderstudyAll About EveEve slowly manages to become Margo's understudy.All About MariahMariah starts repeating Toni's catchphrases and “learning from her.” They become “bosom buddies. Chin up tits out and Watch for the shoe!High TensionsAll About EveTensions run high when an old friend who knows the real Eve enters the fray.All About MariahAn old friend of Mariah, Mina, enters, causing Mariah to play both sides to keep the ruse going.Achieving SuccessAll About EveEve's manipulation leads to her replacing Margo as the top Broadway star.All About MariahMariah is poised to do the same with Toni on the biggest stage possible at All In, making it truly “all about Mariah.”For a full episode archive (AD FREE) and exclusive content visit CWKPOD.COMMake sure and follow the show and leave us a 5 Star Frog Splash of a review!Be sure to Follow us on all of our socials @CruisingwithKayfabe on Facebook and Instagram, @ItsMongo and @CruisingWithKayfabe_Emily on TikTok. Visit Dubby Energy at https://www.dubby.gg/discount/Mongo?ref=TokPgWhTYa3YrX and use promo code "MONGO" to save 10% on all orders all the time!Special Thanks to friends of the show the Undone for letting us use their song Miss Fortune!
