To be fair, the hardest part of my week is live-tweeting ‘The Edge & Christian Show,’ because I just can’t keep up with the tremendous response and the controversy. Beth Phoenix
This isn’t a business that you can pick up in a few weeks. This takes years of commitment, dedication, passion, and hard work. With that is WWE’s road schedule that doesn’t provide for enough in-ring time for the divas to develop. Beth Phoenix
You can disagree with someone and still do business as a professional. Beth Phoenix
It’s no secret that I’ve been influenced by Chyna. Beth Phoenix

My parents wanted me to protect myself and have something to fall back on. I even remember reading a quote from Razor Ramon in WWF magazine where he talked about the importance of getting an education if you wanted to pursue a career in pro wrestling. Beth Phoenix
A beach date would be awesome, with like a little picnic basket, some fruit and bread – just something really, really relaxed and laid-back. I like just relaxing all day, maybe playing in the water a little bit. It’s just totally a day to chill. Beth Phoenix
For a long time when I was working to get a job and in OVW to create an image to get hired by WWE, they kept saying, ‘we’re looking for the next Trish Stratus. We want that look – that beautiful, feminine fitness model that kicks butt, and you just don’t fit the mold.’ That was holding me back for so long. Beth Phoenix
When I first came into the WWE I enjoyed working with Candice Michelle, a girl who was a model and seemed to live a carefree life and worked really hard to become a WWE Diva. Beth Phoenix
A boy on the team, who shall remain nameless, constantly picked on me during practice. I bided my time, and when I had the chance to wrestle him, I took every advantage I could. I bent fingers, dug my nails into his skin and rammed my elbow into various, tender, parts of him. I basically beat him down in front of the whole team. Beth Phoenix
We’re moving away from the one-dimensional nature for women. It used to be that you were known for one thing – a cultural thing, the way you walk, talk or look. Now everybody is allowed to be a layer cake. Beth Phoenix

In fact, I was voted Prom Queen by my classmates in my senior year. So I went from being a wrestler to the prom queen in a year. Beth Phoenix
I think it will be quite the spectacle to have Awesome Kong and Beth Phoenix in the same ring at the same time. Beth Phoenix
I had one little brother and I would use him as a scapegoat to get us games. Obviously, I would get the more girly toys like dolls and Barbies, yadda, yadda, yadda. But I really wanted video games or action figures or something so I would send him to ask mom, ‘Hey, I want this video game’ when it was really we wanted this video game. Beth Phoenix
When I was a wrestler, my job was mostly looking mean and throwing punches and kicks. Beth Phoenix
They say that you never forget your first love and my first love was wrestling. My grandmother taught me wrestling, but it was not until Wrestlemania 10, Bret Hart Vs. Owen Hart, who made a work of art. Beth Phoenix
I left wrestling to spend more time at home with family. Beth Phoenix
Respect is important, and if you don’t have it you won’t be on the professional level very long. Beth Phoenix

Chyna was the woman that made me say ‘Whoa, I want to do something like that. I want to change the game.’ Beth Phoenix
I have my best friend in Natalya. That’s who I stick to and I don’t go out and party or anything like that or socialize a lot with the other divas. Beth Phoenix

Things that used to be a glass ceiling aren’t anymore. Now not only is it a possibility that women are going to main event WrestleMania, I know that they are going to do it. Beth Phoenix
I’ve always wanted to be one of the guys, and don’t expect to treated any differently. Beth Phoenix
I’ve been classically trained in piano since I was little. My father was a pianist, so they started me early. Beth Phoenix
The challenge with WWE was keeping up with the schedule and trying to stay healthy and uninjured during that time. Now, with motherhood, the biggest responsibility is trying to protect this little baby and care for her and her needs. Beth Phoenix
I wanted to be a female like Chyna, who broke boundaries and did things that were really special. Beth Phoenix

I’m not a super social person. Beth Phoenix
Obviously, The Glamazon has been covered in every wrestling magazine known to man, including WWE Magazine, however, I’ve always wanted to do a fitness magazine. Beth Phoenix
There are so many X-factors going on in the ring. You have to protect your opponent. You have to be conscious of what your opponent is going through and make sure they’re safe. Beth Phoenix
I had a Nintendo DS, which I liked. I had ‘NintenDogs’ for that, which is really cool. Beth Phoenix
The first time I won a medal at a female wrestling tournament, all of the other girls there had coaches and family members cheering them on. I went in alone, said nothing, wrestled three girls and beat three girls – convincingly. Beth Phoenix
