I know that some of the ideas that I have are not always going to be seen as a good idea by everybody but, that's just life. We learn at some point that you don't always get your way.

It's interesting to see how a lot of people don't see the other side of the coin. Since they haven't been there. Someone might suggest your character say something that they'd never say. It doesn't occur to them that there are people who think differently about something, from another perspective.
It's kind of frustrating when you're watching something and you know what's real and then people are telling you no. Fans are very into the idea of good old-fashioned marriage. They don't like pretending when you're married that you're not.
I can identify with Riho because I was the talent that didn't speak the language in Japan. I'm very excited for the fans to kind of build a relationship with her because it's going to take work from both sides to understand one another.
I go to all the haunted houses that I can get my hands on, and I grew up in Michigan, where there are a lot of back-woodsy haunted attractions.
I spent a lot of time wrestling at NXT. That was not seen because I was also an announcer. When you're an announcer, they try to protect you and make sure you don't get hurt or injured, or anything that would hinder you from your TV work.
I'm a big fan of working for things. If everything was handed to me, I wouldn't appreciate it.
I'm true to myself, but I always have a soft spot for my husband no matter how nefarious I am.
A lot of people think that if something doesn't happen right away with women or with a particular minority, they are overlooked and they're not important and that is so much not the case.
As long as you keep in mind that what you're looking for is the best person, regardless of anything else, you're going to find the best of the best.
When you're an on-air broadcaster you have a personality to maintain. It's your job.
It's an exciting thing to build a relationship with a talent that's outside of your comfort zone.
Cody and I had a connection pretty quickly. We were engaged pretty quickly, but my moment where I knew this was definitely the person for me was when Cody asked me on a date to Halloween Horror Night at Universal Studios. Nobody had ever asked me on a date to Halloween Horror Night, and I had never been even though I am a horror fanatic.
When Cody won the Ring of Honor title, I rushed out of my seats, tripped on the steps, and bruised my leg in front of a couple fans. I just didn't want to miss a moment with him. That is how much I care about my husband, I care so much I get clumsy.
Being a part of the Women of Honor championship tournament is historical.
One of my favorite characters to watch growing up was Sensational Sherri.
I had full rank scholarship to the University of Michigan, which anybody in the north will tell you, I don't know anyone that has had that at the University of Michigan, which tells you that I was a stand up student.
I am a different type of female. I am not your typical wife of a successful man.
I honestly was supposed to always be a wrestler. I was never hired into any business as an announcer. That was just something I ended up falling into.
It is a lot to learn, and unique, but it is commonplace here in Atlanta where the man takes care of things and the woman becomes a homemaker, and later on in the relationship, a mother, which isn't the things that I ever considered. I think Cody thought that I would want that for my life since he grew up in that, but that is just not me.
Impact has always had a focus on their Knockouts. Back when WWE was not so focused on their Divas, Impact was still focused on their Knockouts. They were actually the stronger women's division for a long time, and that was the place to watch a match more than a couple of minutes.
People know I take good bikini pictures, but I also want them to get to know who I am.
I think in wrestling generally there is this good old boys' system. Where you always have a lot of men at the top and a lot of men making all the decisions.
Being on the road every week is not new to me.
