Her Love For The UK & Its Fans:
“In terms of the UK in general, it was always my favorite time of year when I knew I was heading over to wrestle in front of the UK fans. I can only describe them as being off the hook and helping to create a magical atmosphere for me and the other wrestlers. I loved heading over to the UK and will miss it greatly. I would have loved to have had my final match in the UK.”
Her Accomplishments:
“I am very proud of all that I have accomplished and everything I have done, especially my work with a group of very talented women that helped put us and our company on the map. I have no regrets and I am so proud of everything that I have accomplished. To see similar things not being continued with Global Force Wrestling as well as other promotions, is a great feeling.”
Why She Decided To No Longer Compete Inside Of The Ring:
“The pride that I feel is one of the reasons that I have decided to step away from the ring. I always said: if I could not work to the best of my ability, then I would step away and this is what I am doing. But I will not be leaving the wrestling business, I plan to continue to play a major role in it well into the future.”
Which Wrestlers Have Contributed To Her Success:
“Firstly it would be Molly Holly. She helped me so much and I was heavily influenced by her work. Secondly I would have to say Kurt Angle, he was never selfish, always worked hard and would help you in any way he could.”
