Former WWE and TNA star Kharma joined Nani & Coach Kev for PANDEMONIUM on Wednesday night. The full interview can be heard on VOCNation.com or TheBradyHicks.com. Below are some highlights:
Does she feel that WWE not having competition (like WCW) is an issue in today’s day & age:
“I disagree. I think they have a big bar to raise to. They may have the corner in wrestling. As far as entertainment, there’s so many outlets of entertainment available today. They have a lot of competition. I mean, Youtube, itself, is competition. People carry their TVs in their pockets nowadays. Gone were the days where you had 12 channels & wrestling was featured on one of them. So, wrestling has a lot of competition nowadays to grab the attention of the viewers & the youth & to maintain the fanbase… they haven’t gotten lazy just because they have wrestling in their pockets. They still do a lot of work to keep their viewers.”
The most satisfying moment or experience in career, thus far:
“I can’t answer your question. [laughs] It’s hard to measure them because… each moment, each part of my life meant something different. You’re about to make me cry & don’t you dare [laughs]. My TNA debut… that was extremely important because I gained a lot of fame in Japan but I came home &, y’know, I wasn’t famous in America. So, debuting on TNA on American television while my mom was still alive, because she died extremely shortly after… like, barely a month after I got the belt there after I debuted. I debuted in October & she died in February so she was able to see because they smuggled her out of the hospital. She was able to see my American television debut. That was extremely important to me. Had she still lived, then I would say the Royal Rumble, of course. [laughs] Awesome experience. I mean, come on. [Nani mentions that Kharma was 1 of the only 3 females to ever enter the Royal Rumble] One of three & the first black female. I always have to say that, because, you know. [laughs] So in a few years when they do African-American history, they better put my picture up there [laughs], ‘Kharma, first African American female to participate in the Royal Rumble.'”
If she has plans on making a return to WWE:
“I think the window on that possibility is getting shorter & shorter as the months & years go by. I do have an injury that I’ve been working again… two bulging discs. I am due to get surgery real soon & shave some of that herniation off. We’ll see after that. After that, then it’s very very possible because I’ve been very transparent that WWE said, ‘Get healthy… come back… doors open’. “
