[Interview conducted by Tony D. on July 4, 2000]
TD: What's your real name, and what gimmicks have/do you use?
N: I have only gone under one name, Natasha
TD: What is your height and weight?
N: I am 5'7"
TD: What wrestlers have you managed?
N: Dangerous Dom DeVito, The Parole Officer, The Brothers of East L.A.,
Jose Rivera, Jr., Jon Dahmer, Lobo, Middknight
TD: What circuits do you currently work in?
N: Right now my mainstay is Combat Zone Wrestling
TD: What circuits have you work in?
N: I have worked Jersey All Pro Wrestling, CZWA, NWA- Pro Wrestling Xpress,
and WWC
TD: What titles have your wrestlers held?
N: I can't take credit for any of my wrestlers holding titles while I have
managed them unfortunately. They have gotten their title shots though.
TD: When did you decide to get into wrestling?
N: Since I was about 10 or 11 I decided I wanted to be in this business in
some way. When I was 15 is when I decided I wanted to be a manager.
TD: And how did you get started?
N: One day I started talking to Indy wrestler Dom Devito online and I
mentioned how I wanted to get into the business. The next day there
was an e-mail from him asking whether I wanted to manage him at a
CZWA show that weekend. I don't drive so he took the hour drive to
get me and on October 24, 1998, I managed him for the first time.
TD: Who has been the biggest influence on your career?
N: That's a hard question. I guess I would have to say it is Woman.
Just the way she carries herself and gets things down. I think
she is great.
TD: What has been the greatest moment of your career?
N: I guess so far it would be managing Jon Dahmer & Lobo vs. Zandig &
Hardcore Nick Gage at the CZW Mike Goad Benefit Show. Just being
one of the few on the benefit show was a great feeling. Plus being
on the show also meant getting to be on Nightline. They were there
filming a piece on us. I was the only girl on the piece and the
first girl on a major media piece.
TD: Who are/were you trained by? What kind of athletic background do you have
before you got into wrestling?
N: Trained by Jon Dahmer. I had no kind of athletic background before
I got into wrestling.
TD: Who is your favorite wrestler to work with in the ring?
N: Jon Dahmer is my favorite wrestler to work with in the ring because
I know him so well.
TD: Any major enemies? If so, who, and why?
N: Well, currently my major enemy is Jon Dahmer. I do not like the way he
has been acting or dressing so we have been feuding the past couple
of shows. Dallas is also an enemy of mine. She attacked me in the past
and we have gotten into it in mixed tag and one on one matches. Our last
match ended in a double disqualification so there still is a score to be
settled.
TD: In which promotion are you the most over?
N: Most over? Hmmm. The fans don't like me anywhere so that's hard.
The CZW fans really get on my case so I guess there is your answer.
TD: Do you ever consider working in the WWF, WCW or ECW if they are
interested in your talent?
N: You always have to keep your options open. I could not picture
myself working for ECW though. They are our main competitor.
CZW has been so good to me and I could not betray them by going to ECW.
TD: If you had to pick WWF, WCW or ECW, where would you go and why?
N: WWF because I am more of a fan of their product.
TD: Do you have a computer? If so, what do you think of the reporters and
sheet writers on the Internet?
N: Yes, I have a computer. I see no problem with reporters or sheet
writers on the Internet. You can't believe everything you read though.
TD: Do you have a college degree or any other higher education?
N: I don't have a college degree. Currently I am not in school but I
have done two semesters of college. I am hoping to take some classes
in the fall.
TD: Any advice you'd give a wannabe wrestler?
N: Get properly trained and be prepared for the long road ahead. It
is not easy to make it in this business.
TD: Any final comments for the readers?
N: If CZW is ever in the area, come check it out. Also check out my
