JM:
Were you ever a Fan Growing up and if so who were some of your favorites?
L:
Yeah, my oldest memory is watching it with my grandma in the Ultimate
Warrior-Hogan-Savage days. I really got into it though in 1994 with the
Yokozuna-Undertaker feud. The drummer of my band was watching wrestling a lot
so I joined in for a few episodes of then, Monday Night Raw... That was the
beginning of it all. My favorite back then were Undertaker, Diesel, Shawn
Michaels and Owen Hart. Then came the ladies like Alundra Blayze, Luna Vachon
and Bull Nakano. That’s how I discovered Japanese wrestling... I got hooked on
people like Akira Hokuto, Ayako Hamada and Minami Toyato as well as male
wrestlers as Kenta Kobashi, Black Tiger and White Pegasus... Who was Chris
Benoit, my all time favorite despite everything that happened?
JM:
What are your memories of your first professional wrestling match?
L:
They are ok I guess but I can’t say they were good. I wish I would’ve had more help.
My teachers were supportive but not the rest of the locker room. I was laughed
at and just before I crossed the curtain, one guy who thought he was funny
threw water all over me. My opponent wasn‘t really into it... Ah well, as I
said, it was Ok but really not the best way for a rookie to start.
JM:
What Are some of your greatest Highlights?
L:
I have too many to mention. My trips to Mexico, Japan and Germany... My first
championship... Being the CZW Iron-Man champion, my matches at Shimmer with the
like of Wesna, Melissa, MsChif and so on... TV appearances... The NCW Femmes
Fatales shows... Matches with Amazing Kong, Joey Ryan, Sami Callihan and many
others. I’m blessed with many good memories. : )
JM:
If you could change wrestling today what would you Change?
L:
Maybe a few things but in the end, maybe not. It was very Tough and I always
had to work extra hard to get what I wanted... But it’s ok. In the end, it made
me who I am and I believe, a better person in the end.

JM:
Do You see yourself in the WWE or TNA in The Future?
L:
I always wished I could have only one dark match to know what it was like but
that’s about it. I know I don’t have the mensurations they are looking for
though and not too sure I would like to go through the surgeries, at least not
for wrestling. The only reason I would change something on my body would be for
myself. Not to maybe achieve something.
JM:
You are known for your hard-core style and was even given the name the first
lady of hard-core, whom did you have your best hard core matches with?
L:
My most memorable is definitely versus the Necro Butcher. My best hardcore
matches? I would say against Joe Lider, Princessa Sugey and my hardcore sister,
Mickie Knuckles.
JM:
What were some of your injuries?
L:
Destroyed left knee ACL and meniscuses, three herniated disks, broken ribs,
wrists, ankle, nose (5x)... Plus many bruises, cuts and more…
JM:
How did the deal come about for you to work for Shimmer?
L:
I got e-mailed by Mr. Prazak... And that was it. : )
JM:
What are some interesting stories within the shimmer fed?
L:
I’m not good at telling stories but what I can say about Shimmer is that
everybody in that locker rooms Works very hard and always give their 110%. It’s
a place where everybody wants to get better and learn. It’s really an amazing
place to wrestle at.
JM:
You have also worked in Japan, Mexico, Canada and the states, how would you
compare the fans base and the talents you have worked with in these countries?
L:
Japan sees wrestling more as a sport. Mexico, a religion. Canada and the
States, mostly entertainment in general. Fans are quiet and focus on the work
in Japan and are so respective of the craft. In Mexico, they treat you like
rock stars. Canada and the States, a little bit of both. Each country is
different but always fulfilling for a wrestle to perform in front of those
different crowd. You learn from each and every one of them.
JM:
Any Advice for fans who want to follow there dreams?
L:
Don’t do it to become a star or for money. Do it for you if it makes you happy.
Train hard and forget the backyard stuff. Take some good classes and learn from
every veteran you meet. If you work hard and listen, fame and money might come
along the way but be sure that these are not the main reasons why you do it.
Push your limits, fulfill yourself at getting better first.
