Why did you want to get involved in the wrestling business?
I have always been a huge wrestling fan. My parents were both fans so I was watching wrestling before I can remember watching it. When I was younger before I knew that women actually wrestled, I wanted to be the next Sensational Sherry, just to walk around and cause trouble. I remember seeing a tape not too long after this interest sparked of an NWA show and she was wrestling, from that moment I knew that wrestling is what I wanted to do for a good portion of my life. I have always been into acting, I love the sport and I love traveling and meeting new people. Wrestling is the only thing I’ve ever pushed myself toward that I wasn’t necessarily a natural at.

How did you hear about the Wildman Academy?
Hearing about the Wildman Academy was a bit of collaboration between a few people, When I was involved with Mainstream Wrestling, I was very unhappy with the way things were run and a lot of the people involved, I was in the process of planning a move to Ontario to attend the Can-Am wrestling school in Windsor, I had a few bad judgment calls and was held back from doing so and in the process of being let down I found out that Gary was opening a school, I went and watched a few of the initial first classes and decided it would be in my best interest to stay in he area. Since making the decision I’ve gotten some good opportunities and met a lot of great new friends. It was worth it.

What was the hardest part of the training for you?
The hardest part of training for me was telling my body after past injuries that I was going to do this to myself again. I have a bad knee and I couldn’t jump very high the first few weeks so I progressed slower then I would have liked, but I’ve overcome most of my obstacles to the best of my ability and I can’t complain too much.

Your thoughts on the overall training you got at the Wildman Academy.
I’m very pleased with the training that I received from Gary at the Academy; I was able to learn at a pace I was comfortable with in an atmosphere that I wasn’t intimidated to walk into. There are times I think we all could have been pushed a little harder (especially me) but I’m thankful that things happened the way they did.

You have been quoted in the newspaper talking about being in the business since you were 13 years old, but you only got trained in 2006, can you explain this?
I haven’t said “In the business” because I haven’t been “in the business” for that long but I have been involved with wrestling in some form since that age. I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of different people and see just how things work inside and outside the ring, on many different levels. I’m happy to say that I had the brains to be trained properly by a professional but if I hadn’t had the experiences with all of the “backyard” promotions I was involved in, I would never have gotten to where I am today. I wouldn’t have known it was a possibility and I wouldn’t have met any of the people who have introduced me to the people who helped me get where I am.

Why do you consider being in the business since you were 13 when it was a backyard promotion?
When I was 13 I met some people that had a ring that booked halls and offered to “train” me. I was 13 and I didn’t know any better, I just knew that I could try to be a wrestler. I was involved in he “Maritime Wrestling Alliance” for a few years. I would say probably almost 16 when I finished with them, I’m not sure. I learned some of the basics. Enough to have a few “matches” and even did some shows for another backyard promotion in Halifax the “Canadian Wrestling Federation”. I didn’t know there was a difference between a legit promotion and the ones I was involved with until I started meeting people and that’s when I decided I was done with them. I’ll chalk it up to the fact I was a stupid kid who wanted to attempt to live a dream.

You have worked for MSW, IHW, WWR & The Maritime Cup - What is the difference you found working for the different promoters/ promotions?
Well, I can defiantly say that the time I spent in MSW was the worst out of any of the promotions I have ever worked for. There was too much bullshit, lies and pettiness. Only one good thing came out of my time there and that was meeting Rick (Trash Canyon) who was able to introduce me to better options, such as Gary’s school. I’ve enjoyed my experiences with IHW, WWR and MC because I’ve been able to meet a lot of great people, been a part of shows that fans enjoy, and I think they are all great stepping stones to where I want to get as for learning experience.

Is it easier for you to get booked being female?
I would love to be able to say yes but I also can’t say no. I’m at a stale mate right now for bookings. I can’t get booked for shows locally as anything but a manager due to the lack of female talent. On the other side of things, due to the fact I don’t have any matches under my belt from not getting bookings here, other places contacting me after seeing my pictures don’t want to take a risk on me as I don’t have a tape to send them. So, yes I’ve been getting contacted, people are interested, but no, I haven’t been booked.

Your thoughts on Krysta getting booked in GPW over you?
I’m happy for her. I’m glad that at least one of us has gotten the opportunity to be able to get in the ring and show the Maritimes that female wrestling isn’t dead and it isn’t all T&A. She is very talented and very beautiful and the crowds have been reacting great to her. I’m very proud of her. I would say the only real disappointment in it for me is that we haven’t gotten to work together yet and I think we would have great chemistry character-wise.

Your thoughts on the Wrestling with Reality concept.
I think its great. When most people watch wrestling or think about wrestling the first thing that pops into their head is “fake”. This show is going behind the scenes to show you that it’s not that simple. This business is a tough one to deal with, not just the physical part but the mental and emotional tribulations as well.

What product do you enjoy watching more ROH, TNA, or WWE? why?
I have always been a WWE fan and always will be, no matter how up and down the product is even though it’s usually down. I also enjoy watching TNA and ROH but I will always be a WWE fan if I had to choose just one.

Your thoughts on WWE bringing back ECW.
I don’t really have many thoughts on WWE bringing back ECW other then I’ll probably watch it and feel the same way about it that I feel about RAW and SMACKDOWN…it could be better, and the roster could be improved.

Your thoughts on the other 3 people you trained with.
Wow, this is an interesting question. To be honest I wasn’t really sure what to think of these people when I met them, none of us really had too much in common and we were all very different people, not just our class, but the one before us as well. I’ll be honest, as I have been with them that it took me a while to like them and I think we all felt the same way. To follow suit with the other student interviews, with a few exceptions….we went in as strangers, became friends and are now family.

Have your feelings on wrestling changed since you started training? If yes how.
I can’t say that my feelings about wrestling have changed all that much since I’ve been around it for so long, but now that I have learned so many of the little details I can’t remember the last time that I sat down and enjoyed a whole show as all I do these days is pick every movement apart.

What are your goals you wish to complete with wrestling?
At this point I’m not 100% sure what my long-term goal is with wrestling other then I want to wrestle. Right now I’m trying to focus on learning how to handle myself in different settings and hopefully start traveling once I’ve got more experience. I would like to eventually try my luck in Mexico and perhaps one-day make it as far as television with a roster such as WWE or TNA. Right now I’m considering myself in a learning process that will hopefully take me far, to a great, exciting and successful future.

What has been your favorite moment/ story while training at the Wildman Academy?
Wow…I can’t pick one. Everyday at the Academy produced great memories that I will have forever and enjoy. I’m especially thankful for the friends I’ve made and the doors that have been opened thanks to being there and toughing it out with everyone.

When you need advice who is the first person you go to?
A few different people like Gary and Tony. I also gather opinions from some of the other students and assistants I’ve worked with and we are usually able to come up with some great options and solutions.

How did you come up with your ring name?
Ah, the ring name. Well, I originally came up with Purity years ago and I’ve been using it since I was about 14, I’ve even got it tattooed on my back. Haha. It spawned from listening to a song called “Purity” by Slipknot, it was based on an interesting story about a girl locked up in an underground cage secluded from the world by a kidnapper….it stood out in my mind. I added the “Saint” part to add further contradiction to the name because my character is obviously far from pure and saintly. I think it’s a really good contrast and I haven’t been given any negative feedback.

What is the biggest lesson you have learned about wrestling so far?
The 2 most important lessons I have learned are 1) keep your mouth shut and your ear open and 2) Your can never finish learning and improving.

After being trained the right way what are your thoughts on people that do this that are not properly trained?
My plain and simple answer for this is that they are STUPID. If you are going to choose to beat yourself up and wrestle, learn how to do it properly. So many accidents can happen in the ring and I highly encourage learning the correct methods as it can help prevent injury. If your not willing to get the proper training from a professional, wrestling isn’t for you.

Any closing comments?
Well, if people are reading this, they obviously know about newscott.com. My final words are basically this, if you want to be a wrestler, get trained, stop with the backyard nonsense, it doesn’t get anyone anywhere other then hurt. I highly recommend The Wildman Academy. Also…if there are any females reading this that have ever considered wrestling…GET INVOLVED! WE NEED YOU!
