Interview With Female Wrestler Kristin Flake

Wow...when I did my first Q&A with female wrestler Pink, I didn't think the interviews would be that popular.
But then I got another with Juliet the Huntress and now I'm honored to have another with an indy female wrestler who wrestles in my home state...
Today's Q&A is with Kristin Flake, a wrestler in North Carolina.

So without further ado, here it is....

First...how would you like to be addressed?
Kristin Flake....its both my work name and my real name :-)

Height: 5'5
Weight:135
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Green

Where were you born?
Gainesville, Fl.

When were you born?
August 5th

What made you get into wrestling?
I became a fan at the age of 12, and was immediately hooked by the athleticism and spectacle of it all. And knew that I had to get involved.

Who trained you?
I trained with Dory Funk Jr, for a very short time in my teens. I then took several years away for school and to rehab a back injury. When I decided to start full-time in the ring, Kamakazi Kid started training me at the CWF school in Burlington, NC. I also worked there with Jeff Rudd. And I credit Amber O'Neal and Persephone for training me as far as performance at actual shows.

When and where did you make your wrestling debut?
As a valet....at CWF Mid-Atlantic in 2003, I think. As a wrestler....at NWA Mid-Atlantic, in Sept or Oct of 2007.

What's your wrestling style?
Technical.

What type of outfit do you usually wrestle in?
I like to switch things up. Typically you'll see me in something that is pink and black. Sometimes a skirt, others shorts with fishnets. It just depends on my mood that day.

Do you have a gimmick?
I tend to be that sweet innocent face, that is until you make me mad ;-)

What was your biggest win?
Even though it was declared a no contest....I'd hafta say the First Blood match I had back in May of 09. Id never done anything hardcore at all, and it was fun to test my willpower.

What was your worst loss?
Same as biggest win :-)

What's your favorite type of match?
Any match that pushes me to be my best, I love a match that is technical and tells a good story.

Whats your favorite holds moves etc?
I love interesting chain wrestling.

Whats your finishing move?
Front facelock Buster.

Who have you tagged with?
Amber O'Neal, Persephone

Who have you feuded with?
Amber O'Neal, Persephone, Steffi

What's your best moment so far in wrestling?
There's been SO many. Anytime that the crowd is really into it.

Who are your favorite wrestlers?
Sarah Stock, Sting, Evan Bourne

Whats your goal in wrestling?
To just keep traveling, getting better and have a good time.

Whats the best way for fans to keep up with you?
Through MySpace at either:
www.myspace.com/tricepextension
OR
www.myspace.com/kflakefanspace

Anything you'd like to add?
Please check out the MySpace sites, there is lots of info on them including my wrestling schedule, blog updates and how to buy merchandise.

And I would like to thank Kristen for taking the time out to do this.
Again, these are some of the hardest working women in wrestling today, so when they are in a event near you, go out and show your support!

Female Wrestling: WWE Night of Champions Results

Still Champion.....


...New Champion.

In female wrestling action tonight at the WWE Night of Champions.....

In the WWE Women's Championship Match, Michelle McCool defeated Melina to retain her WWE Women's Championship.

And in the WWE Divas Championship Match, Mickie James defeated the champion Maryse to become the new WWE Divas Champion.
This makes Mickie the third WWE Divas Champion behind Maryse and Michelle McCool.

TNA Impact! Knockouts Battle Royal

Last night on TNA Impact! they had a Knockouts Battle Royal with.....
Awesome Kong
The Beautiful People
Tara
Daffney
ODB
Rhaka Khan
Sarita
Alissa Flash (Cheerleader Melissa)
And referee, the returning Traci Brooks

And TNA (who loves the fans to promote them, unlike the other promotion) has posted the match online, and you can see it here.
The match starts about 2:40 into the clip.

Knockouts Battle Royal | SpikeTV | SPIKE.com

I liked the match and I loved to actually see Tara and Sarita mix it up (if only for a few seconds).
Note to Tara: Standing toe to toe with Awesome Kong and slugging it out is NOT the way to go.
And truthfully, I did not see that ending coming.

TNA Knockout News and Amy Dumas (Lita)

Besides all the Victory Road news, a rumor coming out of TNA is that Traci Brooks (Is she still the Knockout Law?) and Christy Hemme will both be returning for this weeks taping.
And also rumored to appear is Japanese star, Ayako Hamada.

Traci and Christy coming back, Sarita and Ayako debuting right behind each other....
Is TNA set to knockout (sorry) the other wrestling promotion's women's division?


And there is another rumor surfacing that former TNA Knockout Karen Angle is living with.....Jeff Jarret?
Talk about an uncomfortable working situation with Jarret being so high up in TNA and Kurt Angle working for them.
Of course this is ONLY a rumor.


Change The Record.net has an interview up with Lita (Okay, enough time has passed...it's Amy Dumas now).
The cool thing to me is that Amy talks about why she wasn't at Wrestlemania.

Faye: Were you invited to take part in the 25-Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania 25, this year? If so, why did you turn it down?
Amy: Did you see that match?!
Faye: Yeah, it was so bad!
Amy: Right, that’s why I turned it down.

You can read the interview and understand why I like the way Amy thinks here:

TNA "Victory Road" PPV Knockouts Results

Last night at TNA's Victory Road, they had two female wrestling matches.

First up was a return match between Knockout Champion Tara and challenger and former Knockout Champion Angelina Love.
Of course Angelina came out with The Beautiful People and Tara came out with a spider in a jar.
BTW, Tara is short for Tarantula if you didn't know.
The crowd seemed to really get behind the match and of course Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne pulled ot their bag of usual tricks, one of which resulted in Madison accidentally spraying Velvet in the eyes instead of Tara.
The match ended in an WCW Old School kinda way when Angelina made a pin attempt, Tara got her foot on the rope out at two but "impartial" ref Slick Johnson counted three anyway.
So Angelina Love has regained the TNA Knockouts Championship.

After the match Tara got in the ref's face, clobbered Johnson and hit the Widow's Peak on Angelina.
She was about to put the spider on Angelina (Shades of Jake the Snake!) but Velvet and Madison pulled Angelina out and Tara put the snake..errr..spider on Slick.

BTW, later in an interview backstage with Lauren, Slick admitted he screwed up and said he would get Tara a rematch.

The next match was Sharmell versus Jenna Morasca.
Jenna of course came out with Awesome Kong and Sharmell came out with Sojourner Bolt.
The match was basically a catfight with hair pulling etc.
Even though the match was between Sharmell and Jenna, Sojo and Kong were heavily involved.
Jenna got the victory after Kong nailed Sharmell and Jenna covered her with an unladylike pin.

But that's not all.
After the match, Jenna was trying to boss Kong around until finally Kong got fed up and took out her frustrations on Jenna.

TNA - Awesome Kong versus Sojo Bolt

TNA has posted their latest female wrestling match (gotta love them!) between TNA Knockouts Awesome Kong and Sojo Bolt.
You can see it here.



Of course Kong and Sojo can both really wrestle.

Awesome Kong (Kia Stevens) was trained by Jesse Hernandez and the All Japan Women's Inoki L.S. Dojo and she made her pro wrestling debut on October 22nd, 2002.
Pro Wrestling Illustrated ranked her number one in their best 50 female singles wrestlers in the PWI Female 50 in 2008.

Sojournor Bolt, Sojo Bolt (Josette Bynum) was trained by Eddie Sharkey, Eric Priest and Rip Rogers, and made her pro wrestling debut on April 3rd, 2003.

If we are lucky, Sojo and Kong might both wind up in the ring at the Victory Road PPV, since Kong is training Jenna Morasca and Sojo is helping Sharmell.

And you can keep up with Kong at her MySpace page here:

TNA Knockout News

At the TNA Victory Road PPV, Sharmell will be facing Jenna Morasca.
?
I figured that the Knockouts main event would be a Womens Title Match.
No Angelina Love?
No Tara?
No Velvet Sky?
Not even Awesome Kong?



And last night on TNA Impact, Sarah Stock finally made her first TV wrestling appearance as Sarita going up against Alissa Flash (who we know better as Cheerleader Melissa).
Sarita got the win, but Alissa got her revenge after the bell as you can see here:

Alissa Flash vs. Sarita | SpikeTV | SPIKE.com

Thanks to TNA for not only posting the match, but allowing people to embed the video so others can see it.

And on Hermie's Hotseat, race car driver, announcer and professional wrestling promoter Hermie Sadler interviews one of my favorite all time female wrestlers, Daffney.
You can watch it here.

I just love Daffney.
I still want her and Tara as a psycho tag team.

And I would like to thank this talented young lady for taking the time to do this.
Like I have said before, the Indy wrestlers take their careers to heart and harken back to the days of Ann Casey, some working full time jobs, getting off work, grabbing their gear and jumping in a car to drive to that nights match.
We're not talking primadonnas here, we are talking women that literally put their blood, sweat and tears into their work.

No More WWE?

Are you ready for a steady diet of TNA?

Wow...I leave for a month and everything goes weird.

I got an e-mail this morning from Hub Pages, (I have several wrestling Hubs there) saying they had to un-publish all their Hubs with "WWE" in the title.
Well this was bad for me because almost all of my wrestling Hubs are about WWE Divas.
I don't blame Hub Pages at all.
It seems that World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (“WWE”) is claiming exclusive ownership of the trademark "WWE", so they had to unpublish all hubs with WWE in their title.
Does the WWE know how much free advertising they get from blogs, websites and hubs?
So whats next?
Are they gonna want all info on WWE superstars taken down?
Does this mean the internet will have to shift it's focus to TNA?
TNA seems to have no problem with free publicity.
In fact, they seem to encourage it.

So are we looking at a future with promotions like TNA, Shimmer and other Indys getting the free internet pushes?
I'm just a little fish in a big pond, but what about the big wrestling websites?
What if their focus turns totally from the WWE to TNA and the Indy promotions?
No more Mickie James and Beth Phoenix, they get replaced by Velvet Sky and ODB?
The famous "Diva of the Day" gets replaced by the "Knockout of the Day"?
The TNA PPVs and events start getting the major heat?

And in a related "karmatic" development, Wrestling Inc is reporting that Muscle Flex is ready to file a lawsuit against the WWE seeking damages over the use of the "Raw" brand name in Canada.
