AfroSquad Exclusive Interview:
Roxxie Laveux (AKA Nikki Roxx)
Roxxi
Laveaux better know as Nikki Roxx on the Independent circuit made her
debut on March 2001 after being trained by Killer Kowalski. Soon after,
she formed a tag-team with April Hunter called The Killer Babes. It was
April Hunter who originally convinced her to try-out at Killer
Kowalski's school, so a tag-team pairing was fitting. She quickly became
one of the top female wrestlers on the independent circuit and also made
strides in Mexico. The road led her to winning such title as the PGWA
Championship, DPW Women's Championship and many more.
On July 15th 2007 at TNA Wrestling's Victory Road pay-per-view, she made
her TNA debut as "The Voodoo Queen" Roxxi Laveaux aligning herself with
the Voodoo Kin Mafia (Kip James & B.G. James). She immediately began a
rivalry against Christy Hemme, and began participating in TNA's Women's
Division.
We recently interviewed April Hunter. I know you've wrestled her. What
do you think of April?
Well, April is the reason I am a professional wrestler. She was the one
who talked me into giving it a try and since that day I have not
stopped! I think April is a great wrestler and has a great look. I
think any promoter would benefit having her apart of their roster.
What is your ultimate goal in
wrestling?
My
ultimate goal is to kick ass and enjoy every minute I am in the ring!
Of course there is WWE or TNA but ultimately you only live once and why
spend the time doing something you don't love and enjoy.
What would you consider your
favorite match?
I've had
so many great opportunities it's hard to pick just one match. You learn
so much from each one. If I have to pick just one it would be my match
against Susan Greene. She has been wrestling for close to 30 years. I
learned so much just in that match!
Compared to other female
wrestlers, how do you rate yourself?
I think
we are all pretty equal. I don�t see anyone as better or less than me.
All of us have different talents and when you can bring those talents
together they make for a great match.
What do you think of other
female wrestlers? Maybe you can tell us your thoughts on Chyna, Trish
Stratus, and Tracy Brooks.
I
think any girl that can get in the ring in front of a crowd and take the
onslaught of the crowd's comments is a hero. Not only that but just get
in there and show everyone that girls are good wrestlers too. It's an
amazing thing.
As for Chyna, she was a pioneer for the girls. She wasn't some Barbie
doll or super model. She was a bodybuilder and she got in there and
gave the guys a run for their money. She was my hero! Trish Stratus is
great! You saw her first as the valet to T&A (Test and Albert). Then
through the years you see her progress into the wrestler she is today.
She�s done an amazing job and it motivates me. I see how she worked
hard and it paid off.
I've actually had the honor to wrestle Tracy a couple times. I enjoy
watching her matches and I'm so proud and happy to see how far wrestling
has taken her. She totally deserves it!
What got you interested in
wrestling?
I've
always watched wrestling. It was a family thing to sit down and watch
wrestling. Then as I got older my mom would bring me to Boston Garden
to see the shows. But, I always just thought the wrestlers just showed
up and wrestled. I had no idea there was actual training for this sort
of thing.
So, one of my buddies asked for me to go to Killer Kowalski�s
Wrestling Institution with him and I did. From there I met April Hunter
and the rest is history.
Where do you see yourself in
five years?
Kicking
ass of course!
What's your favorite TV show and
what do you do for fun?
I love
ESPN�s Cold Pizza and Foster�s Home for Imaginary Friends on Cartoon
Network. I love cartoons! Thank you God for making Cartoon
Network! .
For fun I love going to the gym, movies, reading comics (yes I love
comics too!), and just having fun! Oh yea! And watching wrestling
tapes and DVDs!
Do you have any workout tips for
us?
Don�t call
it dieting! It is limiting your food intake. And, give
yourself one meal a week to have whatever you want. But, only one
meal! It helps you stay dedicated to your limited food intake.
Is there anything you would like
to say to your fans?
I�d like
to thank each and every one of them. They are always so great to me!
Thank you for your support!
Have you ever seen our site
before? What do you think of NinjaPimp?
I think
you guys are great! I�m honored to do the interview with NinjaPimp!
I�m sure I will make all the other chick wrestlers jealous!
What's something not many people
know about you?
Normally,
it�s the comic book thing. No one ever suspects I'm THAT much of a dork
but I totally am! I love comics!
Well, thanks for the interview... it
has been fun! |
