On chances of going to WWE: Leticia has had talks for a couple of weeks with WWE, but she is concerned about the schedule WWE runs and would like to only work a couple of days a week. She is still talking and negotiating with them, but can't really comment on the talks right now.
On returning to TNA in the future: She would like to go back there because TNA is like family to her. She doesn't have hard feelings towards anyone and they are very close to home. She called TNA a great company to work for.
On Kurt Angle coming to TNA and taking over the show: Leticia says Angle did nothing but help TNA and she never heard of anyone complaining about him being on TV so much. She said if there are any problems (which she doesn't know about) people have a hard time with the decision makers, but not Kurt.
On her fondest memory of TNA: Leticia pointed to St. Louis because she got a chance to go out and hang out with a lot of the talent. She never really hung out with the group afterwards, but they all got together there. She connected with Bubba Ray that night and learned a lot about the history of the business and how you should interact with wrestlers in the back. She started talking about proper respect in the wrestling business and learning that she was not being respectful to the wrestlers when she believed she was.
On being an outsider in the business and the reaction of the veterans: Leticia pointed out Mike Tenay and a lot of the veterans treated her differently because they felt she hadn't paid her dues. She said it took a while, but feels that she connected with everyone in TNA and those feelings went away.She said she went to all meetings, arrived early, stayed late and did everything she could to learn as much as she could about the wrestling business.
On whether her perception of the business changed while working for TNA: Leticia said that she looks at the wrestling business in a completely different way now that she knows what goes into putting on the show and how the business works. She didn't realize that the guys are wrestling everyday before joining TNA.
On Vince Russo: She said she worked with Vince Russo about 90% of the time… Unfortunately for us, Leticia's phone died at about the 27 minute mark and she was unable to call back in. We hope to get Leticia back on in the near future.
