September 2006
By: FTCWF.ca
1.) How long were you a wrestling fan before you decided to personally enter into the business?
Actually I wasn’t a fan. Someone just invited me to a wrestling school, and I was curious. When I first arrived it looked like fun, so I stuck around.
2.) What made you personally decide to pursue wrestling as a career?
I decided it would be a career when ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage asked me to be on TV as part of Team Madness. Before that I had a career as a telemarketer.
3.) Who in wrestling did you idolize before and after stepping into the ring?
Rey Mysterio, Jr.
4.) On April 12th, 2005, news broke that Molly Holly was no longer with the WWE when WWE.com posted that “Molly Holly and World Wrestling Entertainment have mutually agreed on her release.” Was it a mutual decision and what are your thoughts on the WWE today?
Sounds like you’re trying to squeeze in more than 15 questions – haha. I wanted out of my contract, and they were kind enough to honor my wishes. I am very thankful for all of the great times I had at WWE. I don’t have much time to watch TV, but when I catch the show, I think it is entertaining.
5.) With Trish Stratus leaving the WWE and the rumours circulating that Lita is on her way out as well, is the WWE Women’s division a thing of the past?
No. There are younger, better wrestlers on the way up. Beth Phoenix, Mickey James, Jillian Hall, Melina, Angel Williams, Serena Deebs and many more.
6.) What are your thoughts on TNA Wrestling? Do you feel the company has what it takes to become serious competition for the WWE someday and would you ever consider an offer by them?
I have only seen the show once or twice. TNA management has talked to me and I am choosing not to wrestle at this time.
7.) Starla Sexton, Miss Madness, Mona, Molly Holly. In a Fatal 4-Way “Dream Match”, who would come out on top and why?
Miss Madness – Who can compete with a Top Rope Dropkick in a sequin gown?
8.) Recently, yourself and Lisa “Ivory” Moretti announced the “Kickin’ ass for gas” tour. How did the idea come about and are you looking forward to coming to Canada?
I wanted to fly to Toronto and meet up with Ivory there. She said that was lame, and no way for her adventure sister to talk. She said “Road Trip” was the only way to go. Besides the USA, Canada is my favorite country.
9.) What are your thoughts on the career of Trish Stratus and what do you think of her decision to step away from the business?
Trish’s career has been amazing! I think it is awesome that she is quitting while she is still young, healthy and not a drug addict.
10.) Can you give us a road story or tell us something that we don’t know about Trish Stratus?
She does cartoon voices from the show RugRats. It is really funny.
11.) While you’ve hung up the wrestling boots, you have remained active appearing at events across North America and also refereeing matches. What are your thoughts on the Indy Wrestling scene in North America and do you offer your advice to those willing to listen?
The indy scene appears to be the same as it was 9 years ago when I started there. Kids workin’ hard for no fans and no money. Advice? I think everyone prefers to learn the hard way, so I won’t waste my breath.
12.) What do you personally feel was the greatest match in the career of Nora Greenwald?
All of my matches kind of blur together in my mind – but getting my head shaved at WMXX was pretty cool.
13.) What is the biggest talent Nora Greenwald possess outside of the wrestling ring?
I can forgive the unforgiveable.
14.) 20 Years from now, if one word could describe Nora Greenwald’s wrestling career, what word would it be?
Solid.
15.) What can fans of Nora Greenwald expect to see from her in the future?
God only knows. Stay tuned…
