1. What made you decide to get involoved in professional wrestling? Were you a fan before you got involved?

I have loved professional wrestling since I was 3 years old. I used to lay in the floor with my dad and we had a blast! I decided to get into wrestling when I was going and watching my husband wrestle. Actually, my husband inspired me to do it.

2. What promotions do you and have you worked for? Which have been your favorites and why?

The promotions that i've worked for have been RCW, MPW, MOCW, NWA, ICW, MCW, POWERPRO, MMWA-SICW, WLW and GCW. My favorite one out of all of them has been MMWA-SICW in St. Louis at the South Broadway Athletic Club because there is less "politics and riff raff." I have gotten more recongnition at South Broadway and television time there not to mention the biggest fan base of all and the most friends/wrestlers there. I have gotten the respect that I deserve with South Broadway since i've gone solo.

3. What has been your most memorable moment in the business thus far?

Getting recognized, approved and appreciated by Harley Race. Working for him in WLW (world league wrestling) has been the highest of standards and the most memorable for me. I have a lot of respect for Harley Race and i'm more than proud to pass it on that i've worked for such an established and respected man.

4. What do you think of the current state of professional wrestling in general? Do you think that with the WWE being the only "Big" fed now, it has hurt the business?

Professional wrestling is nothing like it used to be. At this day and age, it appears to me that "T" and "A" is what sells the sport. I've been wondering what it would take to actually respect a woman as an actual "toe to toe" wrestler? I feel that women wrestlers have been downgraded and referred to as a novelty act. As far as the WWE, I don't feel that it hurts nor hinders independent wrestling. Not everyone has the opportunity as a fan to see professional wrestling with the WWE. I feel that our smaller organizations will eventually grow stronger and stronger and become very successful if done right. As of now, there are alot of politics and bad seeds that are ruining our independent locker rooms. If we cannot get rid of the bad seeds, we will crumble and fall because it takes promoters, wrestlers and the staff to work together building a fan base and not just focusing on the "superstars" of the organization.

5. Who have been your favorite people to step into the ring with or against?

I would have to say that my all time favorite was TLC. She has now retired but I really miss being in the ring with her. She is the only one that I could say that I had chemistry with.

6. As a woman in a predominantly male sport, do you ever find it difficult to stick with it? Are you ever treated differently by the guys because you are a female?

Absolutely not. I feel that I am the most respected female in the state of Missouri as a wrestler. The men wrestlers have actually been honored to get into the ring with me for a match. I really cannot speak for the other women because i've heard comments from the men themselves that I would be the only woman that they would ever feel that could handle wrestling like a man.

7. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

Spending time with my husband and my dog and watching home makeover shows.

8. What wrestlers do you enjoy watching?

I enjoy watching all wrestlers in all organizations. As far as the WWE, I absolutely enjoy all of them! My favorites are The Undertaker and HHH.

9. What has been your most embarassing moment in the business?

When one of my breasts "flopped" out of my wrestling top during a filmed match......a little embarrassing and i've never heard the end of it!

10. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I'm very eager to find that out. I guess i'll know for sure when they select the Wrestling Diva of the Year on WWE. If not, i'll keep doing independent wrestling and strive to go all over the United States to show my wrestling ability.
