Update on the lawsuit against WWE:

"Yes, I really can't discuss that right now. There is news. It could be good or it could be bad."

Racism in wrestling:

"I wouldn't say I had experienced it. But, honestly with my ability and my way of work... if I were blonde hair and blue eyed, I would probably still be on TV now."

Her battles with Trish Stratus:

"Trish and I had a phenomenal feud. I mean she was the type of person that no matter what I put on her she got her ass back up and we did our thing. She was great at taking that ass whopping."

Being released from WWE:

"They called us to the back and said, 'we were wrestling too much like men.' I thought, well that's the end of my career."

If she would still be with WWE if she had blonde hair and blue eyes:

"If I wasn't in the company, I would be a part of the company. Because right now today, I still have no clue of why I was released. I'm championed one day and released the next day."

Not having an action figure and the marketing of African Americans in WWE:

"I don't think they (WWE) knows how to market African Americans. I was a champion and I've never had an action figure. They did the screening and scanning and said my action figure is in high demand and I never saw it."
