"THE ORIGINAL TNA KNOCKOUT" TRACY BROOKS INTERVIEW
(Interview conducted by Chris Furguson, Brian Luquette and James Walsh.)

Matt Bentley's TNA theme, "Machine," theme brings us into the interview with the "Original TNA Knockout" Tracy Brooks.

Tracy feels that Spike TV is looking out for the best interests of iMPACT. However, she agrees that they need more TV time to do what they need to do.

Tracy gets along with new Knockouts Jackie Gayda and Gail Kim. The "Knockouts" DVD comes out in August 2005.

The TNA photographer, Lee South, is the same one they've had for years. The pictures look better now than they did in the past because they have better lighting. Brian then goes into how the pictures are really small in the .

Valerie Wyndham, "So Cal Val," is brought up. Val's been a ring girl for TNA for a year and a half and Tracy thinks she's awesome. After Chris brings up how "very nice" some recent photos the two shared, Tracy puts Val over as someone who guided her through the photo taking process. Tracy also hates taking pictures, as well as being "diva-ish."

When Tracy goes to wrestle indy events, she's never recognized as she doesn't wear make-up and wears a hat and overalls.

Tracy does not believe that a woman's promotion could compete with the WWE or TNA. She thinks women's wrestling has a place, however.

After putting over the Trish Stratus/Mickie James match at WrestleMania 22, Tracy says she's not suprised at Mickie's success. Tracy was happy for Mickie, but was sad that TNA let her go.

Nattie Neidhart is another wrestler that Tracy puts over as "awesome." Tracy says that Nattie is the only girl she'd allow to give her a German Suplex.

Tracy also says that many girls get into the business because of their boyfriends. She also admits that if you're a hot chick and can do flips, you have an almost guaranteed "in" into the wrestling business. Tracy then says that she grew up watching wrestling and knew she always wanted to be a wrestler. She still collect tapes!

Tracy had implants, and she admits that a lot of girls get hired or received pushes after they've gotten their breasts augmented.

When, on an episode of iMPACT!, Christian Cage referred to Tracy's breasts by saying "Nice bulbs." Cage had asked permission to say it before the bit, then apologized afterwards. Tracy then says it didn't bother her in the least, as she "bounces" to the ring. She then says that her joke is that she's "nothing but floating breasts."

Tracy also corrects a mistake that the TNA announcers make concerning her partner, Matt Bentley. He's really "The Maverick" Matt Bentley, not "Maverick Matt." Tracy also says, jokingly "I just call him 'Baby.' Hopefully, he'll answer!"

Playboy has never approached Tracy to pose for them, nor has any other magazines. However, she'd pose for Playboy if asked because she thinks it's a huge compliment to pose for them. She also mentions that she was covered in pig shit until she was 19 (which turns Brian on) as well as coming from a small town of 5,000 people, and to be in Playboy would be a huge honor for her.

James brings up a story about Trinity (Stephanie Finochio) and how Trinity would call him, complaining that Tracy was handing out business cards of her in her underwear to people backstage. Tracy clarifies that she was wearing a lace top with leather shorts and was passing out the cards for people who needed a girl/wrestler for their shows.

Tracy later says that "all the cancer is gone from the locker room."

Tracy also puts over Gail and Jackie helping her with the photoshoots.

Tracy's advice to women wrestlers is to "stop being bitches." She then puts over Nattie Neidhart as being someone who needs to be in a place where she can be seen. Tracy then puts over ODB (Jessica James) as someone who helps her help other girls. She brings up Trinity, without naming her, and says "You can be the most beautiful girl in the world, but as soon as you open your mouth and start backstabbing and burying and putting people down, you're the ugliest person to me and I want nothing to do with it."

The conversation improvises into a couple of...

Word Associations:

Dixie Carter: "Awesome. She's done so much for me."

Matt Bentley: "Awesome. He's helped me out so much and he's never made me feel that he's stuck with me."

Jeff Jarrett: "My boss! He's an awesome heel."

The Orlando crowd makes the wrestlers work harder, as they're spoiled. Tracy says the Detroit crowd went wild over the wrestlers, as did the ones for Hermie Sadler's show in Virginia.

Traci honestly never thought that TNA was in trouble, even when they lost FSN and were exclusively on the internet. Tracy also thinks TNA will be #1 eventually.

After a final dig at the WWE girls, saying "Our girls can kick their girls' ass!"

The interview ends with Traci giving a plug for 3 Count Wrestling.
