What was the hardest part
of your training?
Training is very hard. You’re telling your
body to do things that it’s never done before. It’s demanding but
it’s the passion for the business that gets you through it.
Your thoughts on the overall
training you got at the Wildman Academy.
Amazing training, I had really high expectations
when I started, and the training even exceeded my expectations. Gary is the
best.
Why did you want to become
a pro wrestler?
I have always been a huge wrestling fan. When I
was younger my dad would take my brother and I to live events and get the ppvs.
As I got older I started complaining about how most of the females on raw/smack
down cant even wrestle. I wanted to show people that females can do more then
show off T & A in a bra and panty match.
Tell us about your first
two matches in Maine in May 2006
Maine was a team New Scott adventure. I went down
with you, Tony, and Tommy Oz. Leading up to the Maine trip I was still in training
and decided that I would just go down to meet people. How ever, the closer it
got the more I started thinking I was ready. I wrestled for New Wrestling Horizons
and did two shows, both fighting guys. It was a real eye opener. I always knew
that we had it great at Gary’s school but this just made it even clearer.
Sonny was great but I would say 75% of the guys down there were not properly
trained. It was good to get over my fears, but it did not go as well as I would
have hoped. I walked in to see a bunch of kids getting the shit chopped out
of them. I asked what was going on, and they told me that was training. Definitely
not what my training looked like, and I’m glad for that. There’s
more to wrestling then to be able to take a chop… On the plus side one
of the greatest parts of the trip to Maine was the fans. They were so supportive,
having them behind me helped a lot. I would (and hopefully will) make the trip
back just for the fans.
Your thoughts on how important
proper physique and working out have to do with the professional wrestling industry
It’s not just important, it’s a necessity.
Unless you are aiming to be the seriously fat guy character… no, I changed
my mind.. even the fat guys should go.
Your thoughts on Titus
following in the footsteps of Bobby Roode and Kingman by winning the 3rd Maritime
Cup
I only met Titus in February but I have been very
impressed with him. His size and his look is so different from everyone else.
I have gotten to see Titus in IHW, MC3 and GPW and this guy keeps getting better.
I was very happy to see him win the cup, he got the chance to show a lot of
fans just how talented he is.
Your thoughts on how important
being properly trained is in pro wrestling
Again, like the gym thing, being properly trained
is a necessity. If not, you are going to hurt yourself or someone else. GET
TRAINED.
When you need advice who
is the first person you go to?
I had been so fortunate to have so many people
helping me out. I was so nervous before training but after first day all those
fears were gone. Everyone at Gary’s school has been more then helpful.
When I need advice I like to ask a combination of vets, and make a decision
based on what they say. Usually Gary, Tony Armstrong, yourself, Steen and Cathy.
Sometimes it’s hard to find a middle ground with everyone’s answers
but I’d rather ask them and learn things the right way then act like I
already know everything.
What are your goals you
wish to complete with wrestling?
It’s funny because when I started my goal
was to have one match. Right now my focus is on the Maritime wrestling scene,
and more specifically the women. I can see women’s wrestling bringing
a lot to the shows that are being put on now. We are equally as talented, and
I really believe people want to see us. We are beautiful and talented, now I
just want more chances to show the fans that, prove myself, and earn everyone’s
respect.
What product do you enjoy
watching more ROH, TNA, or WWE? why?
I was raised on WWE, so my heart is there. I catch
TNA once in a while. I have heard great things about ROH but haven’t seen
it.
Your thoughts on the other
3 people you trained with.
They are family. I was so fortunate to have a talented,
dedicated, and hard working class. Training is so hard, but we were always there
for each other, and always will be. I would do anything for anyone at our school,
grads, guest trainers, and Gary/Cathy, I owe everything to them.
What has been your favorite
moment/ story while training at the Wildman Academy?
I don’t think I could pick one, funny stuff
happens every time we are there. People just have to come get trained and see
for themselves.
What is the biggest lesson
you have learned about wrestling so far?
Well during training I tried to follow the keep
your ears open and mouth shut philosophy. I have a lot to learn so I am still
doing that on tour too. For a business that’s built on kicking the shit
out of each other I was shocked to see just how much respect is involved. You
can learn so much by just keeping your mouth shut and watching how things are
done instead of assuming you already know.
Your thoughts on the Wrestling
with Reality concept
Great concept can’t wait to see more.
What are you doing to show
the fans that you want to be a respected part of Maritime wrestling?
I go to the gym, I train at the school, I’m
on tour full time with GPW to learn as much as I can. I am doing everything
I can to earn everyone’s respect and help to create a bigger and better
maritime wrestling scene.
Out of all of the Wildman
Academy students why do you think Emile picked you as the only one he wanted
to book full time?
I was very fortunate to get booked with Grand Prix
for my first tour. It would be easy to say being a girl helped but that’s
not entirely true. I was picked because I work hard in training, at the school
and in the gym, and I know how to listen.
Your thoughts on getting
booked over Purity Saint for the GPW tour
I have a lot of respect for Purity Saint. She has
been around the business a lot longer then me and I was very lucky to be able
to train with her. Unfortunately she wasn’t booked on tour, but the wrestling
business is full of setbacks and disappointments, Gary has been telling us that
since day 1. It’s what you do after those setbacks that show what kind
of wrestler you are. Hopefully she keeps working hard and eventually we will
have the opportunity to work together.
Were you pleased with how
everything went on your first tour?
Very, very pleased. I now have about 45 matches
under my belt and I am very proud of that. I learned so much, it’s great
to have a job that continually blows your mind everyday.
What does it mean to you
to have your first tour be a Grand-Prix wrestling tour?
It means so much to me. The day Gary called and
told me Emile wanted me on tour this summer was one of the happiest days of
my life. The opportunity to wrestle full time, 7 nights a week does not come
around often, so I am not going to take it for granted. I am so fortunate to
be able to continue my learning on one of the most well respected promotions
in Canada. So many big names have passed through GPW, it’s really a huge
honor just to be part of the tour.
The Maritime Cup drew almost
800 people. Three weeks later GPW ran the same building and drew 75 people.
Why do you think The Maritime Cup was so much more successful than the GPW show?
Your MC3 was one show that had over a month of
planning, and a pretty good budget. GPW runs seven nights a week, and usually
in very small towns where all you need is a few posters and word of mouth. The
sole reason we did not draw well was a lack of advertising. Halifax is not a
small town, you need more then word of mouth advertising. That being said, I
don’t look at it as competition. We are all working to rebuild the maritime
wrestling scene to what we know it can be. Your show drawing 800 people is fantastic,
it shows just how much interest is out there.
Your thoughts with being
on tour with Cuba Assassin 2, Chad Dick and Rene Dupre
Really finishing training and going on tour all
happened really fast. When I got to Shediac meeting Cuban Assassin and Chad
Dick was really exciting. I learned a lot about ring psychology with Chad Dick,
he is a great guy, and extremely talented. I met Rene a few weeks later when
he came home to join tour for a week. He was a really cool guy, and had some
great matches on tour. I am so grateful, it’s such a big opportunity to
be on tour with such big names. I am just starting but I have been and will
continue to keep learning from some of the best.
Your thoughts on She Nay
Nay and what it was like working with her
She Nay Nay was the first girl I have wrestled.
I was very impressed with her from day 1. She is very talented in the ring and
has a lot of knowledge that she was always willing to share.
You worked with She Nay
Nay for the full first part of the tour, what is it like doing the same match
every night in each different town?
Just to clarify we didn’t do the same match
every night. We had a few different matches, and tried new moves to always keep
us on our toes. How ever, we were in a different town every night with a different
crowd. You would almost never know what to expect till you got out there, it
was a great way for a beginner like myself to learn.
Do you think there is room
for a bigger woman's division in Maritime wrestling?
The maritime wrestling scene has seen better days.
There are lots of things happening to bring it back now like WWR, GPW, IHW,
and I think a women’s wrestling division would be a great asset and help
bring more fans to the shows.
Are you going to try and
get booked in promotions outside of the Maritimes?
Sure, I’m taking the year off school (I went
to Dalhousie University) so where ever there is an opportunity I’m going
to try to be there.
Would you wrestle for MainStream
Wrestling?
Right now in the maritime territory I am only wrestling
for Grand Prix. They have given me an amazing opportunity of wrestling seven
nights a week. The experience and how much I’m learning are priceless.
So right now no, but, never say never I guess.
Someone that works 7 days
a week but makes $20-$30 a night or someone that makes decent money but works
6 times a year, Which do you consider to be the professional wrestler?
They are both professional wrestlers (as long as
they are trained), but which one is happier?
Who is the top pro wrestler
in world John Cena because he makes the most money or Chris Benoit because he
is the best in ring talent?
They are both top pro wrestlers.
What does the future hold
for Krysta Lynn Scott?
Oh I wish I knew! I just want to keep learning
and showing the fans what I can do!
Any closing comments?
Yes, FEMALES!! Pay money, get trained. Seriously, we need
more women any girls wanting to talk about it feel free to get in touch with
