Here are some of the highlights from ODB's interview on the show, provided by The Mayhem's co-host, John "The Big Mosh" Masiulionis
=====================================================================
Against All Odds is this Sunday night...live on Pay-Per-View, and The Big Mosh, Blade, & DFL kept The Mayhem's sixth-year anniversary festivities going with a little Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, as they were joined by the #1 contender to the TNA Knockout Women's Championship, ODB. In the process of welcoming ODB aboard The Mayhem, The Big Mosh wished to thank the good people at TNA Wrestling who have worked with "Your Home Of Wrestling Radio" since both entitles started up in 2002. ODB extended her thanks to The Mayhem for having her aboard their anniversary special, and went on the record saying that unlike Blade, she loves Gretchen Wilson and knows who she is -- referring to a mini-debate that Mosh, Blade, & DFL had prior to bringing ODB live on the air.
ODB is very much looking forward to her match with Awesome Kong this Sunday in Greenville, SC at Against All Odds -- in her quest to become the new TNA Knockout Women's Champion. She is calling this match "one of the biggest in her career," and said that she has truly never faced anyone like Kong before. ODB describes Kong as "a big girl," but that she will not back down from her challenge. She is in amazement of how Kong has taken out all of the other Knockouts so far to this point...but Kong has not taken her out. Sunday night, she feels is "go time."
ODB does have the chance to make history this Sunday night, being the first woman to hold both the OVW Women's Championship & the TNA Knockout Women's Title. With comparison to her time in World Wrestling Entertainment vs. her time so far in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, she said that the TNA Knockouts are "different sorts/flavors of ice cream," and that the girls are "not your typical 90-pound, bleach blond, big-boobed girl." She believes that the Knockouts can handle themselves in the ring, and that the action you see in TNA, is "straight-up fights." She is a little frustrated & sad to see what some of the girls in the WWE have had to do (as she has worked with many of the current divas).
ODB has worked with the current WWE Women's Champion, Beth Phoenix, in the early part of her career, and is amazed at how Beth has developed into the star she has become. ODB remembers Beth "working her butt off in OVW" and the many battles they had previously. She tries to keep up with what Beth has been up to, and thinks that if the two were to cross paths again, that it would indeed be a good fight, and that she would come out on top.
Mosh & DFL then posed the question that TNA fans around the world want to know, when it comes to ODB. What is in the flask? Her response..."Don't worry about it." She let the audience know that whatever is in there is "good stuff," and that TNA fans will "know someday" what the contents are.
The internet has been abuzz with talk of a separate TNA Knockouts program airing soon on Spike TV. If this indeed comes to fruition, ODB says that "it will be a good addition." The fans would get an opportunity to see the Knockouts more: see them on the road, taking part in photo shoots/interviews, & see their lives away from the camera. She is all for it.
Going forward into 2008, ODB says that she would love to have a feud with Roxxi Laveaux, as she believes their styles & personalities would mesh well both in & out of the ring, and she hopes to be able to feud with Traci Brooks, who she describes as "her BFF."
Within the next month & a half, we very well might see the debut of live editions of TNA iMPACT on Spike TV, according to various reports. ODB strongly feels that the company is in the position to take that next step. "With the talent we have, we would be ready to do it. Live is pretty big." She went on to say that the doing live programs instead of the taped variety would make the roster & locker room come together even more. And she also thinks that everyone within the company should focus on making iMPACT as best as can be...and not even worry about the WWE product (in response to the critics thinking TNA should go right-up against WWE programming).
In ODB's exclusive interview with The Mayhem, she also gives her uncensored thoughts & takes on the infamous "bra & panties matches" & why she is glad TNA strives to be different in that regard to women's wrestling, why you can't always believe what you read on the world-wide-web, what match she will be most looking forward to this Sunday at Against All Odds, if there is really heat on Shelly Martinez (Salinas) for taking part in a project prior to TNA/missing some recent house shows, and/or if that is being blown out of proportion amongst the hardcore fans/the rest of the internet, and her love of Bret Michaels & Poison -- plus why the girls on "Rock Of Love II" are "grizzled."
