To have the appreciation from your peers, the fans and the company you work for is the ultimate reward. For me, that has always been ultimate because respect has always been the most important thing to me in this business.
I am grateful to have been in this business for 16 years, which not a lot of women can say they have been fortunate to do that kind of run that many years in a row.
I have always said that I will retire when my body starts giving out on me.
When I first saw 'Broken' Matt Hardy, I thought to myself, 'Umm...' I actually said to Jeremy Borash 'Why is he talking like that? Is he trying to make an accent and it's coming out really bad?' And then it kind of grows on you and it's just funny as hell, at least for me.
You know, in terms of accomplishments and things like that, I feel like I've accomplished what I've wanted.
When I joined the WWE, Dave 'Fit' Finley was our first agent that we worked with all the time and he brought in another form of aggression in me.
The true wrestling fans that watch TNA Impact, I think they've always known. I don't want to say they take it for granted in anyway, but they always just know that TNA and Impact Wrestling are going to give them women's wrestling.
To have the title has always been special to me, and I would love to win the championship.
I consider myself more of a wrestler than a sports entertainer.
I feel that my talent is in the ring.
I want to contribute the best I can to TNA and the Knockouts division. I want to be a part of taking the Knockouts division to another level.
True wrestling fans love a great wrestling match.
Normally, with girls that I know in the business, they start off managing and then they become a wrestler, or they just stay as a manager who can wrestle, but I was always a wrestler.
I watched wrestling as a kid when I was younger, and then I kind of fell out of it, and then I started watching it again around my early 20s.
I think a lot of the time when you just see a lot of beautiful girls it kind of just all blends in together. You want something about yourself to stand out.
Impact has always been a great place for camaraderie and feeling like a family.
Broken Matt Hardy was born in Impact Wrestling and I think he had great memories.
I always believe there's a place in wrestling for a little bit of everything.
Myself and every Knockout in the company at the beginning worked so hard to build up a credible women's division in TNA so finally holding the title meant so much to me.
I didn't know the colors of my wedding or what my bouquet would look like!
