JM: Well to start off this interview, you have been going very strong
wrestling in this sport for almost a decade, any
interesting stories to share?
LF: Wo- yes, lots of them. One road trip with Brandi Wine
was especially crazy. The town we were in was a
little mountain town with one road in and one road
out. There was a big crowd and everyone kept wanting
us to sign their foreheads (even the adults!). The
sheriff of the town came up to me and said "Who do I
need to take out to make sure you don't leave my
town?" I thought I was in the movie "Deliverance!"
Brandi and I literally slipped out the backdoor and
left before the show was over! There are plenty
more-join my member's area of Lexiefyfe.com to read more "Stories From the Road."
JM: You were booked on a WWE back than the WWF in
1999 on Sunday night heat an hour before the summer slam PPV against Tori
How was your experience wrestling against her at a BIG PPV Event night
LF: Actually, Tori and I fought a week before the PPV. It
was an incredible experience- they did Sunday Night
Heat live back then so the pressure is really on.
Everyone is hyped up but it's such a professionally
run show that it stays in control (usually!).
JM: You Were also Booked for a TV show at the now defunct WCW Saturday night
against Mona A/K/A WWE Diva Molly Holly again what was the experience wrestling against her
on TV.
LF: Molly is a great wrestler and we had a good match.
Again, it was a great experience. TV is so different
from house shows. There are more lights, more things
to remember (go in to the ring this way, leave the
ring that way) and cameras on the ring apron. I love
cameras though so I'm happy when they are pointed my
way!
JM: It's no secret that you and WWE Diva Lita are close friends, you were
mention thought out her autobiography book from the time she started the biz, but my question is the match you wrestled Lita in what was her sec. match ever. From that point on did you ever imagine how far up there she is when she got in the WWE?
LF: Lita always had drive and from the beginning she had
charisma in the ring. She's always asking questions
on how she can improve and do things better. She's
also pretty fearless in the ring. I thought she would
go far and it makes me happy to here the crowd cheer
for her. She is doing what she loves and the fans
love her back. She really is a great person and I've
missed hanging out with her since I have moved from
NC.
JM: Speaking of autobiography's now that I mention it with all you have done in
this sport for almost a decade do you have any plans
to publish a book of your life before and during your career?
LF: I keep joking around about writing my life story-
maybe someday. Who knows? Right now, I am too busy
to really put time into it but later...
JM: You also got booked on the European Tour feuding
with Wendy Richard back in 1999, What was that experience like wrestling her?
LF: It was amazing. It was my first trip overseas. I was
going to entertain the troops and I was wrestling
Wendy Richter. How do you top that? I learned so
much from her in the ring. To this day, she still
knows how to give the crowd what they want. She hits
really hard too!
JM you are also a Part of the UPW Roster, how is
that going for you and who are some of your favorites to work with?
LF: I haven't worked with them on a regular basis for
about a year but I'll probably be back out there in
2005. I like working for UPW- they have given me some
great opportunities. I like wrestling most of the
ladies they have on their roster. Erica Porter and I
have had some really good matches.
JM: Now that the TNA is up at the same rank as the WWE? Is that company in your future?
LF: I haven't really thought about it. I keep so busy on
the indy scene and with my web sites that I really
haven't had time to look at other opportunities. I
like a lot of the wrestlers on their roster. They have
some great talent there. Who knows- they are taping
in Orlando now which is not far from me.
JM: you also own a video company, explain a little bit
about the idea and info for any fans who are interest reading this now
LF: It's actually a subscription web site called
http://www.slamminladies.com. We do exclusive matches and photos
that you won't see anywhere else. We do offer custom
video matches and photo sets to customers directly
also and,of course, we sell merchandise. I had the
idea for it for a couple of years before everything
fell into place where we could go on line with it. I
know from experience how broke you can get on the road
and I figured this was a good way to help the other
ladies and myself actually make a little money. Most
of time, after you pay your gas, hotel and food bills,
you go home with no payday. This helps out with that!
We have 40 ladies working with us already and more to
come!

JM: You have done a lot in your career the past 10 years, is there anything else you have left to accomplish in the future?.
LF: I want to wrestle in all 50 states before I retire. I
have 28 already done and a few bookings in 2005 that
will help out with some of the rest. That's my goal!
JM: What are your opinions on the following women
you worked with such as Ivory, Luna Vachon, Leilani Kai, Violet Flame, Alexis Laree & Lady Victoria?
LF: I have enjoyed wrestling all of these women for
different reasons. They are all talented. Leilani
taught me so much. Luna scared the heck out of me
when I first met her! Ivory is just crazy- a lot of
fun. Alexis is a talent! From our first match, it
was just smooth- she's great. Violet is a lot of fun
to wrestle. She's a hard worker. I wish we could
wrestle each other more. Lady Victoria and I have
known each other for a while now. She's a good
wrestler with strong goals. She'll be around for a
good while more and I always enjoy our matches.
JM: What are your thoughts on the WWE Roster cuts to the woman's division on raw such as Jazz, Gail Kim, & Nidia?
LF: I was a little disappointed because I thought they
were headed in a good direction. I don't think WWE
gave them enough chance to develop.
JM: Any Advice for fans who dream of breaking in this sport?
LF: Stay in school- get your education first! It's
important to have smarts- no matter what business you
get into. Find a really good wrestling school. You
want one that will actually train you well and that
you are comfortable training at. Do your research!
JM: Closing Comments?
LF: Come see me at a show live!!
