  • Erica's favorite G1 Climax tournament was in 2018. Between Kazuchika Okada having a pseudo-existential crisis involving balloons and the incredible B Block final between Kota Ibushi and Kenny Omega, there was something for everyone in that tournament.
  • How did Erica and her husband mark their fifth wedding anniversary? They managed to get tickets to All In and hung out in suburban Chicago for a long weekend where they celebrated both their love and quite the historic moment in modern wrestling history.
  • Some of Erica's fondest childhood memories involved having "ladder matches" with her older brother in the living room where they'd put a "belt" atop a bookshelf and climb it to become what they called "Family Champion." It's a miracle they didn't break anything, like that bookshelf or any bones.
