Former Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Rosemary was recently interviewed by Wrestling Epicenter's Interactive Wrestling Radio. You can see highlights of the interview below, or check out the full thing above or at this link.
Impact Wrestling starting the trend for women with the Knockouts:
"Absolutely. As we said, it was TNA that inspired us to become a wrestler and to go out and get trained. Growing up, we played wrestling with our cousins and with our siblings and that was based on watching WWE, WWF at the time. But, it wasn't until TNA and we found out that Scott D'Amore runs a school that we learned that this was something that we could do, should do, would do, and must do and that Impact was our goal."
The changes Don Callis and Scott D'Amore have brought to Impact thus far:
"Positive, very positive. Very much that there is a direction and that there is a clear direction and it is forward.Not backwards! Not stagnant! It is forward! They have ideas and they're going to implement them. The flow of the show has changed as you've mentioned, it has been 4 or 5 weeks into the new regime and it is very much a different feel than it has been for the past year. It is very exciting and it is something that we, and hopefully the rest of the roster and the rest of the fans and anyone who is interested to see the growth of wrestling is something that we want to see where it goes and hope everyone comes along to see as well. If you want a good example, the Global Wrestling Network. It is not just Impact. There is a wonderful archive. There is a wealth of independent promotions that are featured on this Network so that people who perhaps have not had access to these shows before are now seeing how far wrestling reaches and how far it is coming. Growing together is an incredibly important part of moving forward."
Her future goals in Impact:
"Absolutely. Not necessarily things that haven't been done before in Impact but haven't been done before by the Demon Assassin! There has been one, not Six Sides of Steel, but Lethal Lockdown. We would love to bring that back for the Knockouts now. Obviously with some alterations as there's not six sides, we've gone back to 4 sides, but that will be all right. (laughs) It is still Lethal Lockdown! Of course, we loved taking part in the Monsters Ball. Oh, and lets throw a long shot out there. We've yet to have a Knockouts Ultimate X! We're not the only Knockout that thinks that way, lets put it that way."
