BETH PHOENIX

Being married to a wrestler has its unique challenges, being a wrestler married to a wrestler is next level.

The 'Flex' shoot was incredibly amazing. It was a total dream come true for me, because it was my first media magazine of that sort outside of wrestling.

I have my best friend in Natalya. That's who I stick to and I don't go out and party or anything like that or socialize a lot with the other divas.

I skipped N64, but I got it later when I was older. I got Game Cube first, then N64 after that actually.

Respect is important, and if you don't have it you won't be on the professional level very long.

I loved being a stay-at-home mom.

My parents wanted me to protect myself and have something to fall back on. I even remember reading a quote from Razor Ramon in WWF magazine where he talked about the importance of getting an education if you wanted to pursue a career in pro wrestling.

As far as the experience level of some of the WWE divas, there are girls who get rushed along in the process. They're beautiful and we want to get them on TV as soon as possible. Sometimes that doesn't leave for a lot of time for wrestling training.

You can disagree with someone and still do business as a professional.

When I was a wrestler, my job was mostly looking mean and throwing punches and kicks.

It takes a while to condition people to a different product, as opposed to what they're used to seeing.

I'm a four-time champion. The second female to ever compete in the Royal Rumble, amongst many, many other accolades.

I started wrestling when I was 19 years old, and I spent my entire adult life on the road chasing this dream, and I loved it.

What's the quality of my life? Often times, when you're in there, you're not thinking about that. You're thinking, 'I want this match at WrestleMania to be the most incredible thing anyone has ever seen.'

I've been classically trained in piano since I was little. My father was a pianist, so they started me early.

A boy on the team, who shall remain nameless, constantly picked on me during practice. I bided my time, and when I had the chance to wrestle him, I took every advantage I could. I bent fingers, dug my nails into his skin and rammed my elbow into various, tender, parts of him. I basically beat him down in front of the whole team.

I had a Nintendo DS, which I liked. I had 'NintenDogs' for that, which is really cool.

I'm very proud to represent Buffalo in the WWE.

We're on the road 300 days a year. There's no recovery time. It's a test of your physical and mental endurance.

I had one little brother and I would use him as a scapegoat to get us games. Obviously, I would get the more girly toys like dolls and Barbies, yadda, yadda, yadda. But I really wanted video games or action figures or something so I would send him to ask mom, 'Hey, I want this video game' when it was really we wanted this video game.

I'm not a super social person.

All the time I was in college, I was going to wrestling school on the weekends.

I left wrestling to spend more time at home with family.

I was able to be influential and create a mold. There was no one else who was shaped like me or looked like me.

I've always wanted to be one of the guys, and don't expect to treated any differently.
