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.
Being paired with Abyss in her debut:
"We've made it no secret that starting our training and even choosing where we would train was heavily swayed by then TNA since we've been watching since 2005. We chose to go to Scott D'Amore's school because he had an influence in Impact Wrestling and because he had trained Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, Petey Williams and out of Ontario had come Gail Kim, Traci Brooks, Angelina Love and people who were making waves. In 2009, we believe, the beginning of the Knockouts division, we wanted to be part of Impact Wrestling and now we are! So, not only those names having trained in Canada, one of the main reasons we kept watching TNA was "The Monster" Abyss. He was somebody we very much adored watching his matches and watching his character. So, to be brought into Impact Wrestling and to be paired with someone who we so adored and looked up to and considered a hero, perhaps? Somebody who we very much loved watching, to be paired with him was a dream come true to not mince words. To have his wisdom, his guidance, his expertise guiding Crazy Steve and Rosemary in our dark and destructive ways... Perhaps that led the way in why we were received so quickly by the fans."
What has caused the "Women's Revolution" in wrestling:
"The winds of change are upon us. We are not content to sit on the be a side show, to sit on the sidelines, to let the boys run the show. We will be running it with them just as we did in a very physical representation with Decay. Abyss mixed it up, Steve mixed it up, and Rosemary mixed it up. And we shared an equal part in the group. There was no "Rosemary must sit on the sidelines because she's a girl." No! We did not engage in combat inside the ring for the majority of the first year. But, we were not afraid to mix it up to defend our brothers and to divert the attention. Women are not content to sit on the sidelines anymore. We are not content to be overlooked. We are embracing the power that we have inside of us and forcing change upon this world."
