<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Stealing Widow&#8217;s Peak from Roderick Strong: </strong><br></h3>



<p><strong>Molly:</strong> I used to watch indie tapes to steal moves from people. Sorry! So, I stole [Widow&#8217;s Peak] from Roderick Strong, whom I used to wrestle with in the back yard of a trailer park in Florida. He was 14 and I was 18. He had a really cool move. Victoria was looking for a new finisher, and I showed it to her. When I showed it to her, in the ring was Vince McMahon. He saw her practice it on me, and Vince McMahon went &#8220;Oh!&#8221; And I thought if we can get Vince to react that way we know it&#8217;s a good one. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Wrestling inexperienced rookie Divas:</strong><br></h3>



<p><strong>Lisa:</strong> I think our forte was working with the rookies and making them look good; better than they are. We would sacrifice our forms and everything like that just for them to get the big pop and boo us. <br></p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Pitching to Vince McMahon that she wants to bleed during the first ever Women&#8217;s steel cage match: </strong><br></h3>



<p><strong>Lisa:</strong> One day I came to TV, and they were like you have a cage match. And I went &#8220;are you kidding me?&#8221; We gig our forehead to bleed sometime, and I wanted to gig [during the match]. I would never do it now, but at the time I thought we were so hardcore and we can do whatever the guys do. I went to Vince to ask him and he goes, &#8220;thank you Victoria for wanting to do it, but no one wants to see a Diva bleed.&#8221; I did ask Lita to throw me as hard as you can against the cage so I can get color naturally.  I didn&#8217;t know how to do it, and I got a big knot. <br></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Thoughts on hardcore stipulation matches that the current roster of women compete in: </strong><br></h3>



<p><strong>Lisa:</strong> It&#8217;s scary to watch. It&#8217;s very unpredictable with ladders and tables. It&#8217;s scary! I&#8217;m older and smarter, and I don&#8217;t want to get seriously hurt. </p>



<p><strong>Molly:</strong> I wanted to do things well but I also didn&#8217;t want to get hurt. I have zero injuries from the pro wrestling business. I feel great every day, and I feel like it&#8217;s because I didn&#8217;t really push to do more high-risk stuff.    <br></p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Pitching the hair match to WWE creatives for WrestleMania:</strong><br></h3>



<p><strong>Molly:</strong> I was a champion, and the writers told me that there was only room for one women&#8217;s match at WrestleMania. They were going to do a pillow fight or a mud match.  I was really devastated and thought I gotta come up with something that makes them change their minds. So I put a bald cap on and had my photo taken. </p>



<p>I made a booklet with a bunch of different storylines showing my head getting shaved. I presented it to Stephanie McMahon and some of the writers and said: &#8220;I&#8217;m willing to shave my head, can I please be on WrestleMania?&#8221; Sure enough, they came back to me couple days later and said &#8220;all right, we&#8217;ll let you get your head shaved at WrestleMania.&#8221;<br></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Molly had an interesting insight into reuniting with her old coworkers at Royal Rumble.</strong><br></h3>



<p>Molly: Anytime I get to see someone I used to work with, of course, you&#8217;ve got these–I hate to say it like–trauma bonds. We&#8217;ve gone through this like extreme situation together and so for life, you&#8217;re like molded as a friendship<br></p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Discussing her potential WWE return, Lisa mentioned: </strong><br></h3>



<p><strong>Lisa:</strong> It is not my decision. They have to call and invite you. I still do the indies and a lot of signings at Comic Cons. A lot of people think I have a choice. The company has to decide. It&#8217;s out of our hands. <br></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Lisa on her reason for wearing a heavy sumo wrestler outfit for one of the Halloween Diva Battle Royal matches: </strong></h3>



<p><strong>Lisa:</strong> I don&#8217;t mind making an arse out of myself. And I thought that the sumo outfit weighs a ton, and I&#8217;m not gonna be eliminated! They are not going to be able to lift me out, and evidently, it took two girls.</p>
