Lets go back to April/ May 2007 you had the chance
to go on the first ever Wrestling Reality Tour. Tell us what was like.
WR was an amazing tour, and one like no other I had been on. It was an honor
to be a part of it, and I can only hope that they want me back next tour!
Was the tour a positive experience for you?
Each and every experience wrestling is a positive one for me, I’m so new
and I have so much to learn. It was great to be in a locker room with such big
names like Gary, Pete, Kowboy and Mason.
For the first time in your career you had the
TV cameras around you 24/7. What was that like?
The first day it was pretty weird and nerve wrecking. After the first day though,
I didn’t notice them to much. I liked the opportunity for fans to see
a new side of Krysta Lynn Scott.
Did you change anything about the way you are
because of the cameras being around all the time?
No, I was always myself.
What did you think of the final product that
aired on The Fight Network?
I really didn’t know what to expect, but I think Hemmings Productions
did a great job.
How do you think you came across on the show?
Hopefully people saw just how much I love wrestling and this business.
Do you think that Wrestling Reality has helped
or hurt your career?
It was international TV exposure; I can only think it helped.
Your thoughts on Sidewinder being sent home early
from the WR tour
I really like sidewinder. It was just unfortunate how things played out on tour
for him. I’m pretty sure he will be back though.
It is no secret that Emile Dupree did not like
or approve of the Wrestling Reality Tour, do you think by you working for Wrestling
Reality that it will hurt your chances of work for Emile in the future?
I hope not. GPW gave me my start and I would love to work for them again. WR
was great TV exposure, but GPW runs 7 nights a week, different city every night.
Any wrestler will tell you that here in Canada it’s impossible to find
that kind of consistent work.
Why do you think Emile does not like the Wrestling
Reality concept?
I think the WR concept is really misunderstood. Not only by GPW but by a large
group of others (most of which haven’t seen an episode). I think he was
unhappy about WR exposing the business. To an extent we did expose the business
but no more then we had to. I feel WR was more about exposing our lives as wrestlers,
then about exposing the business. It is impossible not to give anything away
while at the same time trying to show people what it’s like to be a pro
wrestler.
You have only been involved with Innovative Hybrid
Wrestling a few times, why did they not bring you back on a consistent basis?
I don’t know why I haven’t been in IHW more. I wish there was more
girls in the Maritimes for me to wrestle there. Hopefully they want me back
soon.
Do you think you will work for them in the future?
I think IHW is a great promotion and they have continued to grow all on their
own since they have started. Their fan base is steady and loyal, and they have
some great workers. I can only hope that when I am home in the Maritimes for
the summer they will bring me in to wrestle, against girls or guys. Almost more
importantly I hope that the IHW fans want to see it! If they want it, it will
happen.
This past winter you decided to make the move
to western Canadian. You sold your house and moved out west with nothing. Why
did you make this decision?
Only one thing guides my decisions in life now and its wrestling. The lack of
wrestling in the Maritimes forced me to look elsewhere for work this winter.
When December hit and I hadn’t wrestled since ECPW in Sept. I knew I had
to get out.
Was it a smart decision to make?
Financially? No, not even close. Wrestling? Yes definitely one of the best ones
I have made yet.
You had the opportunity to go on Tony Condello's
Northern Tour, better known as the Death tour. How did you get on that tour?
As far as I know no one called Vance Nevada (the booker) about me before tour.
I know he heard of me from WR but obviously since I am new he didn’t know
very much about me. We talked a little online before I left Halifax, but other
then that I didn’t have much contact with him till I met him at the bus
station in Winnipeg. Condello and Vance both took a huge chance booking me especially
against a girl who had yet to have her first match. The death tour was something
I always really wanted to accomplish. I think both Vance and Condello were happy
with how tour went and I hope to be back there again next year.
Tell us what that tour was like.
It was everything you have heard about it. By far the craziest experience of
my entire life, some nights these towns were so hot I had to be escorted in
and out of the ring for concerns about safety. I remember one night taking a
full pop can to the head. Another night a group of people grabbed my ankles
from outside the ring and started pulling me out; thank goodness the ref was
paying attention and went after them. You have to remember that these towns
don’t get a lot of entertainment coming through so their excitement over
seeing us was both exhilarating and sometimes terrifying. It was conditions
like no other tour too. There were no hotels for us, sleeping at the venues
on ring mats, or sometimes just driving all night just to get to the next town
on time. There were unfortunately 5 deaths on the reserves on days of our shows
too, which means our show would be cancelled once we arrived. That was always
the roughest part for me, driving all day and night thinking about a show, only
to get there and find out we can’t do it.
Who helped you the most on that tour?
VANCE NEVADA! He is an amazing talent and I am so lucky to have gotten to work
with him so much on this tour. The whole roster learned so much from Vance,
he was awesome in every way. I (and the whole crew) owe him so much. Every night
we got a break down about the show, what was good and how we can make it better.
He was always open to giving advice and doing wrestling class when ever we could.
He has been one of the best people I have met in the wrestling business to date.
You have also had the chance to work for ECCW
Supergirls, tell us about that.
Supergirls was an awesome experience. I loved meeting so many female workers
all in the same place at the same time. I was lucky enough to work with Portia
Perez and have a Supergirls title shot against Nikki Matthews. Working four
matches over the two nights was awesome.
Tell us what other promotions you have worked
for in western Canada and what they were like.
WFX: great show (over 800 fans) with names that were mind blowing.
I remember sitting in that locker room and looking around, just in awe at whom
was in there with me. Some names that come to mind were Jerry the King, Orland
Jordan, Rikishi, Chi Chi Cruz, Massive, and Eddie Watts just to name a few.
Stampede: I have worked for stampede a few times, against both guys and girls, it was awesome. Their fans were awesome, and so welcoming of me.
PZW: Working for PZW has been great. I love their crowd, and working against Grace in the promotion that trained her felt great.
PWA: Their shows draw really well, and the crowd is so loud! The mix tag I did there with Tbone against grace and chucky blaze was one of my favorite matches since I’ve been here.
RCW: Smaller shows but I still loved working there, my first three way match.
Did you think when you started training in January
2006 you would have gotten to do the things you have done so far in your career?
No way, and everyone should know, I’m only just getting
started.
Why have you not worked for Devin Chittick's
MainStream Wrestling?
Honestly the opportunity hasn’t come up for me to be able to work with
him. I hope it does in the future.
During an ECPW show in September 2007 you got
busted open; tell us how that affected you and the match.
It was something. As soon as he hit me and the blood started pouring I knew
I was hurt. But it was also exciting; anyone who knows me knows I love any opportunity
to show people just how tough I am.
Tell us your best road trip story so far
There has actually been quite a few, but its probably a toss up between dancing
on the ice in northern Manitoba with the death tour crew to The way I are, the
greatest rib of all time put on by Heavy Metal (including accusations by cops
about drugs and rape) or randomly walking into a spaghetti eating contest with
Ryan Storm in northern NB (which he won).
Where do you go from here?
Same place I have been going since I started, going to as many places as I can
and getting as much wrestling as I can.
