Name: Marty
Question: How was it working with Victoria in OVW? Did you sense that she had the potential to make it in the big leagues back then?
Answer: I really do not want to come off as a know it all so to speak but I really did know she would get somewhere. She is hot, which whether or not if it matters to you .. it does to sell a product. She had an amaizing personality and charisma that was unmatchable to anyone else. Working with her was my pleasure and if I were still in the business Id love to do it again.

Name: Marty
Question: What is your most and least favorite memory of being part of the WWF?
Answer: Most would be Wrestlemania 15. It was an amaizing experience to be chasing gold at your debut title match, at your first Wrestlemania .. and did I say it was Wrestlemania? Haha. My least would be the ninja gimmick for reasons I for the sake of not being rude will choose not to say.

Question: What male wrestlers did you beat during your time in WWF, I heard Gillberg and X-Pac?

#4 Question
Name: Will
Question: What were your original goals when you first signed with WWE? (Did you think you’d be a full time wrestler and win the women’s title?) And what plans did they have for you after your shoulder injury? (Remember that you were shortly Raven’s Black Ninja)
Answer: My plans were to be successful! I am not sure if that went well or not because there are many ways to define “successful”. I would like to think Ive given it my all, but you never really know unless there is a standard set. WWE’s plans changed a lot .. at the end of the day they insisted I stay down in OVW and train more but I felt that was not needed and the rest is history.

Question: Hey sweetie: Just wanted to say that it’s good that it’s good to see you are doing ok. Actually I have two questions.

2. Do you have any regrets not getting the chance to hold that title yourself?
Answer: 1. You can’t live with regrets. Living with regrets means you are ashamed of what you’ve done. I dont think I could have done anything more to have deserved the belt. If I didnt get it, I didnt .. but I wasnt going to swallow myself pride to perhaps swallow something else if you get what I mean.
2. Victoria, I knew she’d make it somewhere .. shes a wonderful, amazing woman .. I however didnt know if in WWE theyd give her a title opportunity.

#65 Question
Name: Jonathan Paplanus
Question: First of all let me just say that I am a huge fan of your’s Ms. Poch. I thought you were a great wrestler and an even more beautiful woman. If you have the time I would like to ask you three questions. I would also want to say that I miss you wrestling. This leads me to my questions:
1. I know you are focusing on your yoga career, but is there any chance that you will go back to wrestling? I was kind of hoping to see you on TNA Impact. The women’s division needs more talented wrestlers like Gail Kim, Jacqueline Moore, and you.
2. Speaking of wrestling, do you still watch it on TV? What do you think of the women’s division in WWE and TNA? My personal favorite wrestling woman is now Gail Kim, and I was wondering what you think of her in-ring skills, since you have never met her to my knowledge?
3. Last but certainly not least what do you think of these wrestlers that you have either worked with or met in person:
Molly Holly
Jacqueline Moore
Sable
Ivory
Terri Runnels
The Kat
Trish Stratus
Gail Kim (just in case you ever met her in person or even wrestled her in the independent circuit) and Lita?
Thank you so much for your time and have a nice day.
Answer: I do not watch TNA or WWE. I have never seen TNA either so I wouldnt know about that. I liked working with all the girls you have mentioned except I ahvent worked with Gail Kim.

1. When you first started your wrestling career, what was the hardest thing to grasp in terms of learning the ropes and understanding the ring psychology?
2. How did it feel to win the LPWA championship?
3. What were some of your best memories from the LPWA?
4. Can you share some of your experience traveling? Was it tough, or fun?
5. I’ve seen you in two WWE Divas specials (Postcard from the Caribbean and Hedonism) what was it like doing photoshoots in places like the Caribbean and Jamaica?
6. Yoga has obviously inspired you and helped you in so many ways mentally and physically. What got you into yoga and it’s effective training?
7. Tough Enough was a good opportunity to see Terri Poch as a person. What was it like training the young teens who wanted to become future superstars?
8. Did you ever think about releasing a DVD showcasing your yoga skills? I know with your skills, you can help a lot of people reach their goals.
9. You worked with Victoria in OVW, did you notice before anyone else that she was a star in the making?
10. Bret Hart is my favorite male wrestler and I know you’ve never worked together (sadly). But his brother Owen was around before his passing. What are your thoughts on Owen?
11. In many interviews, you said you love to read. Any favorite books?

7. The show itself was frustrating to do .. it wasnt the training but like all TV things are preplanned.
8. Im not a mainstream person, I dont think I would do that.
9. I knew as a wrestler she’d be a star but who knows with the way WWE pushes people.
10. I never got to work much with either of them but I do respect them greatly.
11. Mystery books are my favorite!
