Did anyone tell you about
protecting the business?
Oh, yeah.
We call it kayfabe.
Protecting our business...
that's what made our money.
If you broke kayfabe
and you smart--
What we called
"smartened" a fan up,
you lost your job.
There was one match where Buddy
grabbed me by the collar
and he runs me
into the brick wall.
My head busted open.
And all of a sudden,
out of nowhere,
comes my brother, Doug.
He runs up, he straddles me,
he draws position,
perfect boxer stance.
And he looks at Buddy,
he says,
"You touch her again,
you son of a bitch,
and I'll kill ya!"
And I can't say anything.
I have to let the
security guards
take my brother off the stage.
When I got downstairs,
it was like,
"Wow! Who was that?"
I said, "That was
my little brother, Doug!"
They went, "What?
He really loves you.
That was cool!"
His sister was getting hurt
and his first instinct was
to put himself in front of me
and whatever was hurting me.
And, he got a lot of respect,
a lot of respect.
I wish that I could have
brought him downstairs and
let him talk to the boys,
but I hadn't smartened
my family up.
I didn't want to take
wrestling away from them;
that's how important it is to me
I think one of the
best compliments
as a woman professional
wrestler, that I could get is,
when you hear somebody
and they say,
"Oh, she's one of the boys."
That, to me, was gold.
That meant that the guys,
number one,
they liked the
way I wrestled.
Number two,
they liked my personality.
Number three,
they treated me with respect.
That's the best compliment
that I can think of,
was being called
one of the boys.
