Brittney Mueller: My valentines was perfect. My boyfriend and I went out for a wonderful dinner. How about you and your wife?

Brittney Mueller: Our very own Courtney Leinart who just happened to get married to her boyfriend. So Congrats to the both of them!
Bill Richardson: Oh wow that's very cool. Yes, a congratulations is in order to the couple.
Adrien Pierce: For many weeks since I was just about to enter the Compound in another company, I came down with the flu that just kept knocking me down. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t get rid of it. But, now I’m back to being more worthy of anything and better than everyone in that locker room.
He points to the back as the camera stays on him.
Adrien Pierce: And not only am I better than everyone in that locker room, but I’m better than anyone in any other wrestling company around.
He drops his arm.
Adrien Pierce: Since this six pact challenge is continuing on my next opponent will be whoever Goldman decides to pick. But, the next Honor show, I’m throwing out a challenge to anyone out there to get in touch with Goldman and sign up for your own perfect ass whooping. I will beat you because I am perfect and that’s all that matters.
Adrien Pierce drops the microphone in the middle of the ring and heads toward the ropes. He drops to the ringside floor and looks at the camera and gives a big smile.

A HONORABLE RETURN..
Adrien Pierce walks out onto the entrance stage without music and heads down the ramp with microphone already in hand. He doesn’t waste any time climbing up onto the apron and rolls into the ring under the ring ropes. He stands center ring and you can see he’s unhappy about something.Adrien Pierce: For many weeks since I was just about to enter the Compound in another company, I came down with the flu that just kept knocking me down.

Treasure vs Angelica Aspeen
This match was the opening match, as it was placing Treasure in her second match against Angelica Aspeen. The two females were looking to pick up wins. Match started off with both going at each other, locking up. Treasure gets the upper hand as she takes Angelica down with an arm drag. She goes to pick Angelica up, but Angelica pushes her off, before getting up on her own. Angelica sets her up as she hits her with a swinging ddt, before pinning Treasure. Treasure kicks out.
Angelica bends down to pull Treasure up. Once she is up, Angelica starts hitting German suplexes, hitting two in a row before she lets go. Treasure is in pain, as she goes to get up, by Angelica stops her, as she starts stomping on Treasure's body, making sure to stomp on Treasure's bad knee, as Treasure screams out in pain. Angelica pulls Treasure up, as she hits Snowed In, pinning her after for the win.
Inside The Studio
Bill Richardson: Angelica picks up the win here this evening as she has defeated Treasure with Snowed in, what are you thoughts on Angelica?
Brittney Mueller: I think she is someone that people needs to watch out for. She seems to be on a streak as of late and if things keep going in her direction I can see someone in management giving her a title shot.
Bill Richardson: I am inclined to agree with you Brittney. Angelica at times has shown a little bit of a mean streak but I think that is the tip of the iceberg. I think there is something itching to get out of her and when it does it's going to be very interesting to see it.
Brittney Mueller: Speaking of mean streaks, Earl Lockyer vs John Blade happened tonight as well..
Bill Richardson: Yes it did. Earl has become a man that has evolved since he first game into this company. I am seriously very impressed with him.
Brittney Mueller: Yes, very scary actually..
Bill Richardson: Well, it's a good think you don't compete in the right right?
Brittney Mueller: Right..

John Blade & vs Earl lockyer
The next match put The Legend John Blade vs the man who knocked him out two weeks ago Earl Lockyer. John was looking to get a win finally, and pay back for being knocked out. The bell rings, as both guys come to the middle of the ring. The guys lock up, as John manages to get the upper hand, before he scoop slams Lockyer to the mat. He goes to hit Five Knuckles Shuffle on Lockyer who stops the move by rolling out of the way, as John hits the mat.
Lockyer grabs John pulling him up, as he throws him into the ropes, John comes bouncing back, as Earl hits a big boot on him, knocking John out again, as John lands on the mat. Lockyer bends down, picking him up, as he sets him up and hits E.L 91, before getting the pin, and win.
Inside The Studio
Brittney Mueller: Yeah..I'm good on upsetting him..
Bill Richardson: Yeah I think he is another name we will see earning himself a title shot in the very near future. The man has been a one man wrecking crew. Could you imagine both him and Angelica Aspeen teaming up with the way things have been going for them?
Brittney Mueller: Yeah that is actually kinda scary to think about..
Bill Richardson: But Earl Lockyer is another name we can toss into the hat for the Prestige Championship. But, speaking of championships our next match up will feature the person that is next in line for the Honor Championship, Samantha Tolson. She went one on one with Eyesnsane who has been nothing but amazing since arriving here in Honor.
Brittney Mueller: Without a doubt Eyesnsane has been an amazing pick up. I still expect big things from him..
Bill Richardson: Yeah I think he is another name we will see earning himself a title shot in the very near future. The man has been a one man wrecking crew. Could you imagine both him and Angelica Aspeen teaming up with the way things have been going for them?

Eyesnsane vs Samantha Tolson
Two very possible future Champions got the chance to face off against one another in an epic battle. As the two of them locked up in the middle of the ring Samantha took the early advantage using her speak on Eyesnane as she slipped out of a few moves at the start of the match. Well at least up until she received a back elbow to the head which knocked her on her heels but she fought back with a pretty good forearm to Eyesnsane's face. Eyesnsane went for a kick to the gut of Tolson but she caught it and spun him around and then he connected with a kick this time. He was positioning her for a power bomb and as he lifted her she locked her legs around his head and took him over her with a hurrianrana into a pin but only received a two count from the referee's.
Both were quick to their feet and Samantha ran towards him but he took her over with a hip toss, she was back on her feet again and ran towards her to receive another hip toss. The crowd cheered as they both looked at one another as Sam sat up on her knees while Eyesnsane watched from a standing position. The referee looked at both superstars as Sam made her way to her feet ready for more action and that's what she gave the fans. They tied up once more and Sam took the lead pushing him against the ropes but the Irish whip was reserved by Eyesnsane but Tolson wasn't done as she ducked his clothesline only to give him a drop kick to the chin with another quick cover only to get a two count.
Things began to change in the favor of Eyesnsane as he got to his feet and began to give hard chops to the chest of Tolson who fired back with some of her own but his were just so much stronger which backed her into the corner and he started to stomp her down into the turnbuckle but he brought her back to her feet only to lock in his finisher, Eye Got U. She tried to get to the ropes but he kept her in the middle of the ring as she began to fade she slumped to the mat as the referee checked her over. After the third arm dropped the referee called for the bell to signal that Eyesnsane has won the match via a knocked out Samantha Tolson. However, she never submitted. Referee stopped the match.
Inside The Studio
Bill Richardson: Eyesnsane with the victory here tonight over the number one contender for the Honor Championship. This was a HUGE victory for him.
Brittney Mueller: Yes it was, that man will be a future champion here in Honor, just depends on what title he goes after.
Bill Richardson: I would have to say that tonight's win has opened eyes for everyone from management to the champions. But you have to give Samantha credit, she never tapped out of the move.
Brittney Mueller: Yeah you're right. She just took a nap..
Bill Richardson: I understand she still lost but she never said I quit, props to her for that.

Number One Prestige Contendership
Trixie vs Courtney Leinart
This match up was scheduled to showcase the talent of Honor Wrestling, where both Trixie & Courtney Leinart showcased their skill for a chance to earn a Prestige title in the very near future against the man that was facing the Honor Champion later this evening. Both women had a great chance at winning the match and moving onto their next match for a championship title. Trixie was the first out out for the match who was followed by Courtney Leinart. The referee checked over both women and told them the guidelines of the match to which both agreed upon. He called for the bell and the match was underway.
Both women locked up in the middle of the ring which each of them trying to out maneuver the other one until Leinart got a knee placed perfectly into the chest of Trixie which caused her to bend over allowing Leinart to grab the blonde's hair and drive her backwards into the mat. The referee telling Leinart to not do it again as it was against the rules but she didn't seem to care as she kicked at the fallen Trixie. Leinart grabbed Trixie by the head to help her to her feet and send her across to the ropes as she bounced back towards Leinart she was looking to connect with a clothesline but Leinart had ducked and speared Trixie down to the mat as she hooked a leg. The referee only got to a two count before Trixie had kicked out of the pin fall. As Leinart was making her way to her feet she gave the referee some side eye at her displeasure of the count.
This small mistake allowed Trixie to get in a jab into the gut of Leinart and than a small package by Trixie which only got a one count as Leinart kicked out. Leinart was up to her feet first and face and kicked Trixie full force into the face knocking her backwards onto the mat as Leinart looked around towards the crowd with a smile on her face as she taunted the crowd. Leinart picked up the smaller Trixie to her feet before grabbing her head and running towards the turnbuckle and using the middle turnbuckle to slingshot around into a spinning bulldog. She went again for a cover and almost got it but was within seconds sort. Leinart hit the mat in protest telling the referee to do his job. This once again allowed Trixie enough time to get in a breather and quickly rolled up Leinart but this time was a two count. Trixie kept on her as she pushed Leinart back into the corner as she climbed the turnbuckle as the crowd counted with every punch to the face of Leinart until Leinart pick her up under the backside walking out some from the corner and driving Trixie face first into the top turnbuckle. Trixie screamed in displeasure as she was holding her way, Leinart was looking down at her rubbing her eyes as if she was crying.
Leinart looked down grabbing Trixie by her hair pulling her back up to her feet towards the middle of the ring only to his a version of the X-Factor on Trixie and rolled herself into Code Of Silence making Trixie submit. Courtney Leinart was our new number one contender for the Prestige Championship!
BACKSTAGE SEGEMNT
Eyesnsane is seated on an exam table with his shirt off and is swinging his feet back and forth. Dr. Weaver walks in looking at some papers in a folder.
Eyes: What’s up doc?
Becky: How are you feeling?
Eyes: Normally with my hands.
Dr. Weaver begins doing something with her back turned to Eyesnsane…
Becky: Is that so? I’m glad you are in good spirits and making jokes. I noticed it's time for you to have a tetanus shot.
Eyesnsane: Wait, a what?
Blasted Monk sneaks in the room and yanks Eyesnsane off the table and throws him on the floor and jumps on the table. Dr. Weaver turns around to face Eyesnsane with a needle almost as long as her arm in her hand only to see Blasted Monk on the table.
Becky: Well I guess it’s time for your tetanus shot.
Blasted Monk: No problem Dr. Weaver
Monk narrows his eyes and looks past Dr. Weaver is that a picture of Eric Weaver on the table. Dr. Weaver turns around when all a sudden we see smoke coming from the ground working its way up. It clears in 30 seconds Dr. Weaver not fazed by the smoke looks at the table expecting to see Eyesnsane again.
Becky: Stephanie McDiddle, well I see why Monk needed the smoke bombs seeing how it bought him time to drag your carcass into my room.
Stephanie: Hey Doctor Weaver. Guess what?
Becky: You know from all the Elders you hang wit…
Stephanie: I’m not an Elder Dr. Weaver.
Becky: Okay for your sake never cut me off again. Second out of all your guys in this collective group I work for you are the only one that calls me Dr. Weaver I like that you show me my respect.
Dr. Weaver looks at both Eyesnsane and Blasted Monk as they shrug her off.
Becky: But if you cut me off again you will not on my good side in trust me no one likes being on the other side if you catch my drift?
Becky looks at Stephanie and waits for a response.
Becky: Hello?
Stephanie: Oh sorry I didn’t know you were done. I didn’t want to cut you off and then have to put you in your place for trying to threaten me with your bluff.
Becky: Oh I see, so this whole hi I’m Stephanie I’m a poor attempt at being a smart ass if not just a poor gimmick then huh
Stephanie: Depends if you were done or if I got lucky and managed to cut you off again.
Becky: Oh my well thi..
Stephanie: Hey you're not allowed to say Oh My that is Master Lilly’s catchphrase.
Becky: Blasted Monk, Eyesnsane if you please.
Eyesnsane: Oh with pleasure Doc.
Monk: Sorry Ninja Monkey.
The two men grab Stephanie and hold her down on the table. Eyesnsane starts to laugh a little.
Stephanie: Oh Baby Monkey I love it ruogh but I’m not down with this Eyesnane and Dr. I think I’m hard bitch.
Monk: Shut up, I’m trying to help you here.
Dr. Weaver walks up to stephanie
Becky: I got your hard bitch right here.
Dr. Weaver quickly injects the long needle in Stephanie’s left arm as Stephanie looks on getting extremely pissed off at Blasted Monk.
Eyesnane: Girl be mad all you want, you jumped a razor blade fence yesterday.
Stephanie: So what you assholes!!
Eyesnsane: So what is that you're my tag team partner in FWA. So try not being a dick all the time.
Stephanie: Wait what?
Eyesnsane: Oh yeah, surprise bitch. They made me pick a partner as the company's tag team division is salty as shit because I ran thru the whole division twice by myself and they're tired of my beating their asses in handicap matches her both of my tag team titles.
Stephanie: What's that got to do with me I don't even work there?
Eyesnsane: They made me pick a partner and if I have to pick anyone it is two crazy bitches that won't take no shit. Alana Allure and your crazy ass. So I'm offering you a title and a contract.
Becky: So it's a free bird rule?
Eyesnsane: Man Fuck the free birds it's an OTE rule god damn it!
Stephanie: But I just signed a contract with Honor Wrestling and I was about to put all these ladies on notice. Monk Baby Monkey in my left pocket.
Monk goes into her pocket and pulls out a piece a paper folded in 8 times he unfolds it and sees a signed contract. Eyesnsane looks at it, he lets out a laugh.
Eyesnsane: You know the contract is a bit more than one piece of paper right? And why is it folded up like it's a damn love note for?
Stephanie: I don't need the whole damn contract just the part were I and Mr. Goldman signed the rest I can get later. I mean I have no bags with me, hell I’m wearing Monk’s t shirt since you know you ripped mine up to use as a bandage
Eyesnsane: Buy more clothes then bitch.
Stephanie: Well if Someone didn't leave me stranded in LA the way they did maybe I would have my stuff asshole.
Eyesnsane: Who is the asshole now...
Eyesnsane opens up a backpack and hands her one of his FWA Tag Team Titles
Eyesnsane: I guess you work for two companies now. So get your shit together but stay crazy cause you will need it trying to work my type of schedule.
Becky: Wait Eyes, this is the crazy chick you been telling me about?
Eyesnsane: Yes, and she really is a bit nutty doc.
Dr. Weaver looks at her and lets on a smile
Becky: Okay I guess you can cut me off anytime you w….
Stephanie: Shut up bitch.you just stuck me with this needle that if you don't get out of my arm I swear to god…
Dr. Weaver quickly removes the needle as she no longer wants to get on her bad side Eyesnsane lowers his head and just starts laughing.
Champion vs Champion
Non title
James R. Knight vs Tiffany Prada
Non title
James R. Knight vs Tiffany Prada
The two faces of Honor Wrestling were about to square off, the Honor Prestige Champion James R. Knight will go up against the Honor Champion Tiffany Prada. Even though it was a non title match for both competitors it was a great match to watch live in person. The fans enjoyed the match, the match up was back and forth showing what both champions had to offer but only one of them were able to say they beat the other, who was it?
The match started off quickly arm drag after another by Knight but Prada was quick on her feet as she gave Knight a drop toe hold into a head lock but it didn't last long as both superstars were back to their feet as Knight gave Prada a side suplex and a quick cover only to get a two count. Once again both superstars were back to their feet in record time as Prada quickly knocked Knight down with a dropkick to the head. Both got up at the same time once more and once again it was Prada with a drop kick. For the third time in a row they both got up and she went for another drop kick but he side stepped her and she crashed into the mat followed by an elbow to the chest by Knight who once again went for another pin fall but only to get a two count.
The crowd was heavily behind the Honor Champion as they chanted her name while the fans would boo the Prestige Champion. It was clearly a battle of who was going to be the best champion of the two. The ending of the match up came when both were looking to hit their own versions of the Shining wizard which happened to be their finishing move. Prada picked up the victory this evening with the Prada who had the fans chanting her name at the end and cheering while Knight walked up the ramp holding the back of his head while his other hand held onto his Prestige Championship.

Serenity: Welcome Samantha for taking the time out of your busy schedule. I think the main thing everyone wants to know first is why did you come back to Honor Wrestling? Why didn't you also come back when it reopened?
Samantha: Well, first off, thanks to you for wanting to talk to me! I came back to Honor because I felt like when the company ceased operations the first time, I had left business unfinished. As you know, I had earned the number one contendership to the Ladies Championship, with a match for the title all set up on pay per view not far from my hometown in Kansas City, Missouri. Then the company had to cease its run, and there was something left undone for me. I hate that feeling. I wanted some sort of closure on that, and with the reduction of titles in the second coming of Honor, there was only one way to go. Now, to your point of waiting, I've seen companies come and go quite a bit over the last year, some of which I had been scheduled to work for. I wanted to make sure that things were going to run smoothly first, because I can't get the closure I want if Honor was going to have to shut the doors again.
Serenity: That makes sense. I can understand it as I did have some unfinished business myself. You came back, and was able to trade in your number contendership for the Ladies title to now be the number contender for the Honor Title that was just crowned. How surprised were you on who came out as the winner, and the person you will be facing?
Samantha: Honestly, there was no surprise to me, because I had already begun developing my game plan for either Dean Judas or Tiffany Prada. Was I surprised that Tiffany won? Not really. It's not like she's a rookie, or was in her first few matches or something. She's spent some time in the ring, so there's no surprise on my side.
Serenity: I think a lot of people were surprised, but Tiffany has been in the ring for Honor before. How do you feel about some of the negative responses that have been thrown out because she won the title?
Samantha: I think it's crap. Yes, I plan on taking her title, I won't mince words about that, but she can't help the situation. She came back to Honor, fought her way through the tournament and won the title. The competition she faced in that tournament is what was put in front of her. It's like telling an undefeated football team their record is weak because of who they played. The teams on the schedule are on there. From there, you just go out and get the job done.
Serenity: Haven't heard someone put it like that before, but that is a good way of saying it. Is there anyone from Honor you are surprised who didn't comeback? Is there anyone you would like to comeback even? There was a lot of talent before.
Samantha: Ally Morrow. She held the Ladies Championship, and I want to show her she's not unbeatable. I understand she's gone on to other companies and been successful, but she also hasn't faced the level of competition I have, period. Other than that, I personally would welcome anyone back that wants to come back. I'm not really picky.
Serenity: Something tells me she won't be back. Is there anyone on the roster now that you would want to face? We have a great group of talent, well least some are great, but you know what I mean.
Samantha: Well, to be perfectly honest with you, I'll take on anyone on the roster who wants to step into the ring with me. I've never shied away from a challenge, but people should also realize that when they enter the squared circle with me, I'm a unique challenge all on my own. The talent level is good here, and getting better with each new signing, but the gauntlet, so to speak, gets thrown down here. You want to face a real challenge, put your name opposite mine on a contract.
Serenity: Who knows maybe one day I just may do that, give you another Wilson to face. Stepping away from Honor, let's get a bit personal. While Honor was closed, you got engaged, congrats on that. How did you two meet? Did you know from the start she was the one, or did it take time?
Samantha: Honestly, we started talking on Twitter, I invited her to my LA studio apartment one night and the rest is kinda history. As far as knowing she was the one, that did take some time, because our relationship at first was, just being honest, pretty much just physical. But over time we grew closer, and about six months ago I couldn't ever see myself with anyone else. So, when we went on a private vacation over the holidays, I asked her to marry me and she said yes.
Serenity: That's actually pretty nice that it worked out that way. So many relationships don't work out well, and some do. I know you guys have had your fair share of problems, more so with Kenzi Gray. Can you explain about all that? What happened?
Samantha: That's a convoluted explanation. Let me try and boil it down quickly. Ashley had been training Kenzi, against my better judgement and wishes. Well, Kenzi had won a title opportunity in LAW against any champion of her choice, and chose me. That immediately put Ashley squarely in the middle of the issue. Kenzi beat me for my Chaos Championship, with the help of her Kentourage, and in the rematch, I beat her inside the Devil's Playground to reclaim the title for the third time. That seems to have settled the issue between Kenzi and I, but we're a long way from what you might call friendly.
Serenity: Knowing how Kenzi can be, I have a feeling it's only settled for now. With you competing in other companies as well besides Honor, how do you handle all the stress, traveling, and being on top of it all without any problems arising?
Samantha: It helps that Ashley competes in a couple of places as well, so she understands the time demands and other issues that go along with being a professional wrestler. When we can travel together, we do. If she has a match somewhere, and I can go, I do, and vice versa. The key is that we stay as connected as we can when we are apart....certainly, modern technology is a big help with that. Her father's private plane, quite frankly, is also a pretty big advantage for us.
Serenity: I don't know how you guys could stand being a part for long, even with modern technology. I have a hard enough time being away from Gabriel the few days I come in for the shows. Are you ever nervous you will get injured in one company, and in turn mess up any matches in the works for you in the other companies?
Samantha: Is that a concern? I think it probably is, but you can't really worry about it, because if you go out there worrying about getting hurt, it's likely a self-fulfilling prophecy. And let's face facts, if you wrestle on any sort of a consistent basis, you're always a little dinged up no matter what you do. I very well remember having a match here in Honor early one Sunday evening, then taking a quick flight to Pittsburgh, still in my gear, to wrestle in The Pitt in a ladder match for the Wildkard Chammpionship. It happens. You're going to have to play with pain.
Serenity: Least you are able to do it. I know I wouldn't, but I also help train at Gabriel's gym. Last question though is there anything else you would like to say to your fellow wrestlers, or fans watching?
Samantha: As far as Honor goes, Tiffany Prada, I'm coming for that title. As far as the rest of the world of wrestling goes, wherever I am, better believe that I am a threat to any championship I choose to chase down. You can believe me or not, but the proof is in the results I put out in the ring.
Serenity: I believe you, but I have seen you in the ring. Thank you for letting me ask questions people want to know.
Samantha: Thanks for having me!
Samantha: Well, first off, thanks to you for wanting to talk to me! I came back to Honor because I felt like when the company ceased operations the first time, I had left business unfinished.

Serenity: Haven't heard someone put it like that before, but that is a good way of saying it. Is there anyone from Honor you are surprised who didn't comeback? Is there anyone you would like to comeback even? There was a lot of talent before.
Samantha: Ally Morrow. She held the Ladies Championship, and I want to show her she's not unbeatable. I understand she's gone on to other companies and been successful, but she also hasn't faced the level of competition I have, period. Other than that, I personally would welcome anyone back that wants to come back. I'm not really picky.
Serenity: Something tells me she won't be back. Is there anyone on the roster now that you would want to face? We have a great group of talent, well least some are great, but you know what I mean.
Samantha: Well, to be perfectly honest with you, I'll take on anyone on the roster who wants to step into the ring with me. I've never shied away from a challenge, but people should also realize that when they enter the squared circle with me, I'm a unique challenge all on my own. The talent level is good here, and getting better with each new signing, but the gauntlet, so to speak, gets thrown down here. You want to face a real challenge, put your name opposite mine on a contract.
Serenity: Who knows maybe one day I just may do that, give you another Wilson to face. Stepping away from Honor, let's get a bit personal. While Honor was closed, you got engaged, congrats on that. How did you two meet? Did you know from the start she was the one, or did it take time?
Samantha: Honestly, we started talking on Twitter, I invited her to my LA studio apartment one night and the rest is kinda history. As far as knowing she was the one, that did take some time, because our relationship at first was, just being honest, pretty much just physical. But over time we grew closer, and about six months ago I couldn't ever see myself with anyone else. So, when we went on a private vacation over the holidays, I asked her to marry me and she said yes.
Serenity: That's actually pretty nice that it worked out that way. So many relationships don't work out well, and some do. I know you guys have had your fair share of problems, more so with Kenzi Gray. Can you explain about all that? What happened?
Samantha: That's a convoluted explanation. Let me try and boil it down quickly. Ashley had been training Kenzi, against my better judgement and wishes. Well, Kenzi had won a title opportunity in LAW against any champion of her choice, and chose me. That immediately put Ashley squarely in the middle of the issue. Kenzi beat me for my Chaos Championship, with the help of her Kentourage, and in the rematch, I beat her inside the Devil's Playground to reclaim the title for the third time. That seems to have settled the issue between Kenzi and I, but we're a long way from what you might call friendly.
Serenity: Knowing how Kenzi can be, I have a feeling it's only settled for now. With you competing in other companies as well besides Honor, how do you handle all the stress, traveling, and being on top of it all without any problems arising?
Samantha: It helps that Ashley competes in a couple of places as well, so she understands the time demands and other issues that go along with being a professional wrestler. When we can travel together, we do. If she has a match somewhere, and I can go, I do, and vice versa. The key is that we stay as connected as we can when we are apart....certainly, modern technology is a big help with that. Her father's private plane, quite frankly, is also a pretty big advantage for us.
Serenity: I don't know how you guys could stand being a part for long, even with modern technology. I have a hard enough time being away from Gabriel the few days I come in for the shows. Are you ever nervous you will get injured in one company, and in turn mess up any matches in the works for you in the other companies?
Samantha: Is that a concern? I think it probably is, but you can't really worry about it, because if you go out there worrying about getting hurt, it's likely a self-fulfilling prophecy. And let's face facts, if you wrestle on any sort of a consistent basis, you're always a little dinged up no matter what you do. I very well remember having a match here in Honor early one Sunday evening, then taking a quick flight to Pittsburgh, still in my gear, to wrestle in The Pitt in a ladder match for the Wildkard Chammpionship. It happens. You're going to have to play with pain.
Serenity: Least you are able to do it. I know I wouldn't, but I also help train at Gabriel's gym. Last question though is there anything else you would like to say to your fellow wrestlers, or fans watching?
Samantha: As far as Honor goes, Tiffany Prada, I'm coming for that title. As far as the rest of the world of wrestling goes, wherever I am, better believe that I am a threat to any championship I choose to chase down. You can believe me or not, but the proof is in the results I put out in the ring.
Serenity: I believe you, but I have seen you in the ring. Thank you for letting me ask questions people want to know.
Samantha: Thanks for having me!
