She and the Glamazon had an amazing program with good story-telling. Plus, she got to wrestle, actually for the first time showing how much she is capable with in-ring techniques. Check out her words about the biggest highlight of her career.
“My biggest highlight was when I was in my storyline with Beth Phoenix. There was a point where it was going so good; it was when I really grasped the philosophy of a wrestling match.”
“When you come in from Hollywood, they don’t train you on anything. You figure everything out, there is no protocol or TV beforehand; they throw you to the wolves.
“That was the moment when Arn Anderson and Ricky Steamboat saw what Beth Phoenix and I were creating. They came to us; it was a house show overseas. They were the top agents and they left some of the top matches to come to work our match and really explain that concept to us and that is when it clicked to me.”
