Impact Wrestling star Rebel was the special guest on Women's Wrestling Weekly this week. You can watch the interview in the video below and here are some highlights:
How her cheerleading as a Dallas Cowgirl affected her wrestling:
"Cheerleading definitely helped. I mean with the flexibility, the stamina, the cardio, the footwork, it all plays into it. When I was first learning wrestling, there were some moves - because I have a dance background - where I was like, 'Oh, that's like a swing dancing move.'"
What she would like to do after wrestling:
"Well, I like to say that I'm a Jill of all Trades, and I feel like I have done a little bit of everything. I would like to do more acting. I originally had move to LA to do acting and then I just went off to all these little alternate routes. So I think I'd like to get back to that... after I win the Impact Wrestling Knockouts Title!"
Wrestlers she would like to wrestle:
"I definitely would like to wrestle Gail Kim again! I'd like to wrestle Ric Flair [laughs]. I'd like to wrestle or actually spend some time, because she is no longer with us, but Sherri Martel. I think she was pretty amazing. When I was Evil Rebel of the Dollhouse, I definitely studied Sherri Martel and just think she's awesome!"
Being interested in an MMA career:
"When I first started my career I was really thinking of going that route. I think I just got busy doing other things and I kind of put it on the back burner. I don't know if I'll get back to it or not. It's definitely something I'm interested in."
Her experience wrestling in Japan for Stardom:
"Oh man, no only did I grow as a wrestler, but I grew as a person. I love their culture, I miss their Japanese sweet potatoes! Working with the girls was such a great experience. The consistency of getting to wrestle so often there with so many great girls and great talent. I grew so much and I improved so much -- in the ring and outside of the ring."
What her current workout regiment is like:
"I like to switch it up, because you know you get burnt out on a certain type of workout. I like Crossfit, I'm starting to get into that. I usually do a lot of cardio and I feel like Crossfit now helps me do more strength training."
Who does she want to go up against next in Impact:
"I think that, right now, Tessa Blanchard is really hot in the wrestling scene and I think that I would like a title match against her."
Advice that Gail Kim has given her:
"Just to show that fire, show that passion, be aggressive. Her advice is constantly catered to what I just showed her in the ring, but for the most part for me it's showing that fire, showing that aggressiveness."
