LAUREL VAN NESS

I love wrestling, but now wrestling is a job, it's my livelihood. Sometimes the job takes over and you forget to have fun and you forget to be creative and try new things.

Nothing fazes me anymore.

At the end of the day, if you're passionate about something, be passionate about it. And be totally and ridiculously passionate about it.

The people that have made a name for themselves and really just can wrestle have worked their butts off to get to that place. They definitely deserve a lot of respect.

I can compete anywhere. I can compete on 'Raw,' on 'SmackDown,' on 'Main Event.' I can compete on 205 Live if they want me to.

I love experiencing new cultures and new foods.

I could never see myself getting in a ring and wrestling Zack Ryder.

I'd say I'm friends with 90 percent of the girls I meet.

I don't know if anyone can say, 'oh, I know I'm going to get signed.' You don't know what they're looking for. You might have excelled in-ring but you might not have excelled at promos. It's about giving it 110 percent, and then having NXT want you in their family.

The one consistent character in all of this is Chelsea Green, and that's how people know me, even as all else changes. I can go out and be the hot mess, or go hard in matches or be silly, and that's still all me.

I always thought Magic Kingdom was supposed to be the happiest place on Earth - where everything smells like waffle cones and cotton candy - but when I first went to Diagon Alley, I knew that was where I belonged.

On 'Tough Enough' you're in a house with your competitors, living, eating and breathing with them. That's really tough.

I think as females, we always want to have more air time, more room time, more - longer matches and more main events. But, at the end of the day, we're going in that direction, and I'm happy with that, and I'm happy with the side everyone has taken in women's wrestling.

Everything in Asia is a culture shock, it's very different from North America, but it's great to be forced into a situation to meet new people and learn new techniques.

I knew I wanted to be a wrestler, so I became the best wrestler in wrestling history.

I used to live in Devon when I was 8 years old. My mum, my grandma, and grandpa are all British.

I'm going to give it my all, but I'm also going to know my worth, know that I have options, and that's the best feeling in the world.

I go to the gym at least 6 times per week.

I worked on trying to get to Mexico, which was the first thing that I really wanted to do, but a couple of my girlfriends thought that I should learn how to wrestle before I go to Mexico, so I should try out in Japan. That is how I kind of got over there in Japan.

I swear to you, any question you can have about moves, psychology, gimmicks, the history of Pro Wrestling, he knows. Lance Storm is an encyclopedia of wrestling knowledge.

Harry Potter' is my favorite movie of all time.

It's very hard when you start working as a wrestler to try and stop doing things that are second nature. For me, when I take a move and start selling, that is second nature for me.

I found that when I went to the ring as a bad guy, people hated that I took care of myself. That I went to the gym, that I had hair extensions, that I put makeup on. They hated that I was a girly-girl. I thought, OK, I'm going to crank that up to 110 percent and make people really annoyed.

That's always the bucket list for me: Different countries, different experiences, different food. To be able to do that through work? I'm the luckiest person alive.

I might be able to high fly when I'm wrestling Pentagon, at the end of the day, Pentagon won that match. At the end of the day, I took 10 package piledrivers, so I don't really want to do that again.
