Kick Ass Babes caught up with Vicky between training for an interview

KAB : Hi Vicky. Why wrestling as opposed to judo, kick boxing or some other combat sport ?

Vicky : Wrestling is my dream, I was brought up around it, I like the idea of kickboxing and Judo but it doesn’t seem to have the same passion effect as I feel about wrestling.

KAB : When did you first start developing a passion in wrestling?  

Vicky : When I was at least 5 or 6 years old my uncle and my brother got me into it. The first wrestler I ever saw on TV was Bret Hart and from then I was hooked, I guess I have just grown up with it.

KAB : How did you go about getting involved ?

Vicky : I began to search the internet for a training school in my area, I found one place called LPW, Leicester Professional Wrestling and the guy I spoke to on the phone referred me to Wrestle Leicester which is where I am now, so it was just a little bit of internet research really.

KAB : What made you decide to take the leap and have a go ?

Vicky : I had been thinking about it for a while, but was always too scared to do it, then I began to think about it More and I realized that you only live once, and this is what I want to do, so I forgot about fear and took the first step on the path to my dreams.

KAB : What were the fears you had about getting involved in wrestling ?

Vicky : Just embarrassing myself in font of people, but I know I have nothing to worry about now, as the people at Wrestle Leicester are so nice and encourage me all the time.

KAB : Do you intend to make it a full time career?

Vicky : Yes I do, I hope to make it my full time job, it’s a lot of hard work but it’s worth it

KAB : How did your friends and family react when you told them you wanted to be a wrestler ?

Vicky : My friends want to join me ha-ha, my family are being very supportive

KAB : What wrestlers inspire you?  ?

Vicky : Inspirations would have to be John Cena he always encourages people to “never back down never quit”. He was a small town guy, who became the best thing in the WWE at present through a lot of hard work, and I would like to follow in his footsteps.

KAB : What has your training involved so far ?

Vicky : It has involved warm ups, basic grapples and locks some mat work. We also have an appearance of Robbie Brookside every fortnight; he’s a very successful UK wrestler, he takes us through the ropes and makes us work hard.

KAB : What was the first move you were thought ?

Vicky : How to lock up, that's a very important part of wrestling believe it or not

KAB : We believe you :) What’s your favourite move at the moment ?

Vicky : Hmmm, on TV it would have to be stratus faction, that’s a very difficult move to learn.  As I've only learnt the basics so far my best move would be an arm lock. I would like to learn the stratus faction in future though.

KAB : You have to expect some knocks and bruises in this business, does this concern you ?

Vicky : Of course it concerns me, but it’s the risk you have to take when following your dreams.

KAB : Who do you consider to be the best female wrestler in the UK ?

Vicky : I can’t say I have one, I have never really followed UK wrestling, but as I am getting into it now, I'd have to say “me

KAB : No shortage of confidence there Victoria

Vicky : That's true  :)

KAB : How do you rate UK female wrestling compared to the USA ?

Vicky : I think the female wrestling scene in the UK is very low. From what I have noticed, America seems to be blooming more.

KAB : Who's your favourite American Divas ?

Vicky : Trish stratus, Victoria, Ashley Massaro and more recently Mickie James, all for their in ring charisma and wrestling ability.
