XTC: I have wrestled for several companies: APWF, DCW, NEPW, PWR, MADMAR, KCW, FNW, XWF, so far. No titles yet... I think only one of them has a women's title, so I am in this to entertain.

LS: What are your thoughts on women participating in the sport?
XTC: We need so many more. There are a lot of us now, but we live hundreds of miles apart, so it is difficult. So if you are women interested in this sport, go to a show and talk to the promoter about training! Really, because we all love it.

XTC: It is better to be hated for who you are, than loved for who you are not.

LS: What would make you most happy in life?
XTC: I am pretty much already there. I have a wonderful family, and I have so much going on every day, so the only other thing would be Wrestlemania versus Mickie James or Beth Phoenix!

LS: Anything else you'd like to add?
XTC: Not at this time. But drop by myspace.com/divaxtc
