Shantelle Taylor Quotations

I have been busy my whole life and I learned at a young age time management when balancing sports and school.

The tour was such an eye opener for me. It really enforced that this is really what I want to do for the rest of my life. They (fans) were fabulous. They're definitely not as quiet as they are here in Canada. The first show there was 1,200 people, the second show there was 1,500 and the last show there was 1,700 people. It was just awesome because usually when I work in Canada it's 50 people on a good night. It was great just hearing those pops from that many people.

It's hard to be taken seriously as a woman because there are a lot of things out there that have shunned women's wrestling; it's turned into catfights and bra and panty matches. I think the fans sometimes would be just happy if we just pulled our hair and rolled around. I understand that there's that physical appearance you have to have and I work really hard at it. I work out every day and keep a healthy diet.

He had actually found the school on the internet. He had told me about it and I was really desperate to continue in this field. I looked it up on the internet and talked to my parents because it was my parents funding me in this situation at first.

A wrestler, who also worked there part-time, he had told me about it. I went to their gym and I watched training sessions. As soon as I was down there I had this electric urge. I was like 'I really want to do this.' I eventually did six months at that training facility.

For me, my mom wasn't actually a big advocate of allowing me to watch wrestling. However, my uncle, he was a huge wrestling fan and he got pay per views every month so he always had me over at his house to watch. I was just completely infatuated with the athleticism.

They screwed me out of about two grand. It didn't matter because I already had caught the bug. It became the most abusive, passionate relationship and I've been addicted every since.

The first day I got there it was a completely different experience. No one shot off any names to me that had been training at that school. The facility itself was much cleaner; it actually looked like a wrestling gym, opposed to someone just put up a backyard ring in a dirty, filthy basement.
