    Awesome Kong égratigne plus que sérieusement Dixie Carter! Empty Awesome Kong égratigne plus que sérieusement Dixie Carter!

    Récemment, Awesome Kong a été interviewé par Kayfabe Commentaries, elle y parle de son époque à la TNA et n'a pas sa langue dans sa poche.
    Cà me semble évident qu'elle ne reviendra plus jamais à la TNA!

    Voici la version anglaise avec un mini résumé:

    Awesome Kong, the former TNA Knockouts champion, recently sat down with Kayfabe Commentaries and discussed her career at great length. Including thoughts on her time with TNA, whether her character lived up to her billing, dealing with racism, Gail Kim and a host of other topics.

    First impressions of TNA:
    Kong's initial impression of TNA was of how different and interesting it was. She named the X-Division and the prospect of a new women’s division the most interesting to her.
    Dixie Carter:
    When talking about Dixie Carter, she mentions that she puts on different faces for different people. Kong questioned whether the face Dixie put on for some of the workers was genuine or not. She would hear from very reliable sources that during production meetings Dixie would say things like “Well, let them stay home and starve."
    Payment issues:
    TNA stiffed her on payday, and also mentioned that TNA were very sexist with pay. She says that even though the females were amongst the highest rated segments on most shows, some jobbers got paid more simply because of their gender.

    When she realised the Knockouts division was ruined:
    She labelled this as the time in which Hogan arriving. Not specifically because of Hogan coming in, but how it coincided with that – the moment in which all the changes started to happen. “I see everybody’s wives in here, rolling up in an escort vehicle, and my putt-putt is around the corner waay down the street…and you talking about you can’t pay me more money?”
    How she got her name:
    The “Amazing Kong” name was an accident. They advertised a match between Aja Kong vs someone else, and when Aja couldn’t make the booking Kong filled in. She was given the Kong name so that they weren't delivering false promises. They named her and advertised the match before telling Kong herself, so when she walked into the LA dojo and someone referred to her as Kong, she first thought it was a racist joke before it was cleared up.
    Her character in TNA:
    When asked about her character in TNA not speaking, she said that if you have the talent to portray emotion or a message through your face, then speaking may not be necessary. Something which she believes has mastered that craft whilst wrestling in Japan. She also mentioned that when she started speaking briefly in TNA, she felt very uncomfortable and was out of her comfort zone. Her voice doesn’t match her monster persona, so when she was asked to speak management asked her to deepen her voice.
    Drugs, and drug testing in TNA:
    She admits that she has taken fat burners, and she has also smoked pot before, but not whilst employed by the WWE. She has also seen doctors for weight loss pills. When TNA conducted a basic drug test, she said that was the only type of drug test they ever conducted. They never initiated another drug test in the company again.
    Who she liked and disliked in TNA:
    Kong then spoke about who she was close with in TNA, and others who she didn't like.
    Regarding the females, she mentions the likes of Roxxi, Velvet Sky, Taylor Wilde, Jackie Moore, Daffney, Gail Kim, Christy Hemme, Karen Angle, and Cheerleader Melissa, who were all "cool chicks". Whilst Madison Rayne, Lacey Von Erich, Traci Brooks, Becky Bayless, and Rhaka Khan were all "ho bags". Rhaka in particular still owes money Kong's aunt money for babysitting her child.
    The likes of Taz, Mr. Anderson, Homicide, Kurt Angle, Kip James, Mike Tenay, Terry Taylor, D'Lo Brown, and Rob Terry were all close friends. Whilst Jeff Jarrett, Bully Ray, Scott Steiner, and Samoa Joe are all dicks.
    Dutch Mantell’s influence on her character:
    Dutch Mantell was the one who handled her character until he parted ways with the company, and once he left the Knockout division just went to shit. She mentions that after his departure, no one was really in charge of the Knockouts. This was further compounded when she once asked who was in charge of her, and no one in TNA could give her a clear answer.
    Bubba The Lovesponge:
    They then talk about Bubba The Lovesponge and her problems with him. Kong says that she wanted to talk to him about his comments surrounding Haiti, and that they were not okay about the way he was conducting himself on set. Bubba threatened a young worker at Universal Studios when he invited several friends to watch Hogan’s first appearance in TNA. He put the worker's name out on the radio and made several comments about him that Kong perceived as him being a bully, and that she isn’t a fan of bullies.

    She talks about the incident between him and her backstage, and how when she first saw Bubba that day, Hogan was with him and introduced him to her. Kong froze up as she didn’t want to say what she wanted to say to Bubba in front of Hogan, something which she was mad at herself for not saying anything. This led to Kong yelling at Bubba, looking to beat him up. He deflected the first punch before Kong continued to beat him up, Bubba then went into the fetal position. Vince Russo ended up having to pull the two apart.

    Racism:
    Kong said she’s experienced racism in her career. One instance was in Japan where a fan got mouthy with her and offended her, before she beat him up. In Japan they have a rule where if someone crosses the line then you beat the shit out of them and continue on with what you are supposed to do, which revolves around respect. She was asked to identify racism in her past promotions, she said that she doesn’t want to mention any names since she may work at those places again.
    Incident at a bar:
    The incident at the Anaheim hotel bar during her time in TNA was true. A drunk fan asked Kong for an autograph, and she said she would give the fan one once she was finished speaking with this important movie producer. In less then 30 seconds he was bugging her, so Kong’s boyfriend – now fiancé - asked the fan to be respectful, and the fan told him to fuck off. Kong then told the fan to be respectful of her boyfriend. The fan told her to fuck off and the rest was history.

    Incident in Switzerland:
    During a trip to Switzerland with TNA, some guy was rude to Sharmell. Booker T was not there so Kong and some of the locals on the tour used a bucket as their personal toilet, they also put other things in it like vinegar. They then placed it above his door, so that when he would open his door, the contents of the bucket fell on him. Kong says she is not proud of this, that she was young and silly.
    Zack the Stripper:
    She mentions that she had a personal stripper named Zack, and one time in TNA she told the X division guys that she had a stripper coming. So they kept calling her and came running down with dollars, only to see a male stripper.

    Differences between wrestling in America and Japan:
    The interview then goes on to talk about her time wrestling in Japan. She says that after her five years overseas she had to leave because her body was just getting worn down from their style of wrestling. Every match was so intense, they all went about 20 to 30 minutes. Kong said that you could barely sell moves before needing to get back up to take yet another move. She mentioned how in America, everyone is lighter and some people take up time for the match by taunting.
    One match in particular led to her becoming very winded and couldn’t get up to take the next move fast enough. So her veteran - who was helping train her - kicked her straight in the face, which resulted in a busted nose, and left her with a scar to send a message that she was too slow.
    Her moves:
    When asked about people refusing to take her moves, she said that wasn't an issue. But she was tricked into only using the Implant Buster for a few months to finish matches instead of the power bomb. She says she loves giving the Awesome Bomb to Nikki Roxx the most, since she knows how to bump and doesn’t complain about taking it. Several people have taken issue with the Awesome Bomb, which Kong thought was funny since it’s a bump that is highly dependent on their ability to tuck.

    Gail Kim:
    Kong was asked whether any girls in the WWE or TNA were in the game for the love of wrestling as opposed to a pay day, in which she mentioned Gail Kim in particular. Kong said that Gail is married to a millionaire and could never work again and live pleasantly, but she steps inside the ring every week because she just loves wrestling.
    Earl Hebner:
    The biggest drunk in the locker room was Earl Hebner, who is one of her favorite people in the world. No one could keep up with him.

    Jackie Moore:
    When Kong first got to TNA she was afraid that Jackie Moore was going to be a bitch to her, but when they met Jackie was so nice and really looked out for her.
    BFG wardrobe malfunction:
    She spoke about her Bound For Glory wardrobe malfunction, apparently that day people asked if she was going to wear a bra, and she said no since she was only in the match for a short while and the outfit had a built in bra. As it happens, the malfunction happened when she got eliminated, because her wardrobe got caught in between two females. She thought TNA replaying it was silly because she was supposed to be portrayed as this big monster.
    Where she's at physically today:
    Finally, Kong said that she could barely do a number of things, but thanks to DDP Yoga she is able to compete in singles matches, and it helped her get more into shape.
    Ses Premières impressions sur la TNA étaient que c'était une fédération différente et intéressante. Que ce soit avec la X-Division et la new Division des KO qui l'intéressait!

    Elle m'est en doute l'authenticité de Dixie Carter. Elle aurait eu vent par des sources fiables que lors des réunions de production Dixie aurait dit des chose comme çà:"Eh bien, laissez-les rester à la maison et mourir de faim."

    Sur le paiement des prestations:
    Elle décrit la TNA comme très sexiste. Même si les femmes faisaient régulièrement les meilleures côtes d'écoutes, des simples jobbeurs étaient mieux payés que les KO car simplement c'étaient des hommes.

    Elle a réalisé la division Knockouts a été ruinée, c'est arrivé en même temps que la venue d'Hogan. Pas forcément à cause de lui. Alors qu'on lui refusait un meilleur salaire, elle voyait les femmes des autres gens débarquaient dans de grosses voitures et elle n'avait que sa petite "tuture"...

    Le pseudo Awesome Kong est dû à un accident lors d'un match au Japon. Quelqu'un devait lutter sous le nom d'Aja Kong mais ne savait pas être présente. Alors on lui a donné ce nom pour ne pas que le public râle.

    Sa gimmick silencieuse à la TNA: Elle explique que lorsqu'on a le talent, pas besoin de parler pour véhiculer des émotions. Elle ne maitrise mal sa voix qui ne correspondait pas à sa gimmick de monstre. Elle a été très mal à l'aide lorsqu'elle a dû parler à la TNA. C'est pour cette raison qu'on lui a mis une manageuse (Raesha Saaed).

    Kong reconnait avoir utilisé des produits pour brûler rapidement la graisse, fumer un pétard mais pas lorsqu'elle était à la WWE. Elle a également pris des pilules pour la perte de poids. Elle décrit les tests anti drogues de la TNA comme laxistes et ne se concentrant pas sur l'ensemble des substances dopantes où euphorisantes.

    Elle a apprécié Roxxi, Velvet Sky, Taylor Wilde, Jackie Moore, Daffney, Gail Kim, Christy Hemme, Karen Angle, et Cheerleader Melissa, qui étaient tous des "filles cool". Alors que Madison Rayne, Lacey Von Erich, Traci Brooks, Becky Bayless et Rhaka Khan étaient tous des "garces".
    Les Taz, M. Anderson, Homicide, Kurt Angle, Kip James, Mike Tenay, Terry Taylor, D'Lo Brown et Rob Terry étaient tous des amis proches. Alors que Jeff Jarrett, Bully Ray, Scott Steiner, Samoa Joe et sont tous des bites.

    L'influence de Dutch Mantell sur son personnage et la division KO était excellente jusqu'à ce qu'il quitte la KO Division. Après lui, plus personne n'était réellement en charge des KO, cela c'est encore aggravé quand elle a demandé qui était responsable de son personnage et personne ne pouvait lui donner une réponse claire.

    Elle parle de Bubba The Lovesponge qu'elle ne supporte pas et qu'elle a frappé avant d'être éloignée par Bichoff.


    Elle parle esnuite du racisme qu'elle combattu (dans le vrai sens du terme...lol! ) que ce soit au Japon ou au USA. (elle explique deux anecdotes)

    Elle évoque une vengeance sur un type ayant tenu des propos désobligeant vis-à-vis de Sharmell compagne de Booker T qui n'était pas présent. Plusieurs personnes de la fédération, dont elle, ont fait leur besoin dans un seau, ils y ont rajoutés d'autres chose comme du vinaigre. Ils sont ensuite placé le seau n équilibre sur la porte entrouverte de la dite personne.
    Elle n'est pas fière de cet épisode, elle était trop jeune à l'époque...

    Elle explique avoir eu un strip-teaser nommé Zack le Stripper. Un jour, elle a dit aux gars de la X Division qu'elle avait une strip-teaseuse. Ils se donc ramené avec de l'argent pour voir un strip-teaser...lol! 

    Elle parle de la différence entre la catch nord américain et celui du japon. Après 5 années au Japon, elle était usée physiquement. Les matchs sont plus long, intenses, ont cogne plus fort et fait moins de provocation.
    Elle explique que son entraîneuse de l'époque lors d'un match l'a mise au sol et comme elle ne s'était pas relevée assez rapidement, elle lui a porté un kick sur la face en lui cassant le nez et en lui laissant une cicatrice. Le message était clair: trop lent!

    Apparemment, pendant des mois, la fédération lui a demandé d'utiliser l'implant Buster comme finish et non l'Awesome Bomb. Certaines personnes se seraient plaintes de la puissance de la prise mais pour Kong, il faut savoir exécuter correctement la chute...
    Roxxi était la meilleure pour çà et ne se plaignait jamais!


    Elle parle de Gail Kim et explique que la canadienne est bien présente car elle adore le catch. Elle est mariée à un millionnaire et pourrait arrêté quand bon lui semble mais elle continue encore et encore.

    Elle décrit Earl Hebner comme une personne ne pouvant être suivi dans un concours de boisson. Elle ajoute qu'elle l'apprécie beaucoup.

    Elle évoque Jackie Moore. Elle avait des craintes vis-à-vis d'elle mais elles ont été infondées. Jackie étant vraiment gentille et faisait attention à elle.

    Sur son "problème vestimentaire à BFG, elle explique que la fédération lui avait demandé si elle allait porter un soutient-gorge. Mais comme elle savait ne pas lutter longtemps elle n'en a pas porter. Lors de son élimination, son costume a été pris avec le costume de deux autres lutteuses, d'où le soucis. Elle ne comprend pas pourquoi la fédération a repassé les images puisqu'elle était décrite comme un monstre.
    BFG dysfonctionnement de garde-robe:

    Elle suit actuellement le programme Yoga de DDP, elle se dit prête pour rivaliser dans des matchs simples et se sent en forme.

    Max, ce n'était pas Hogan le raciste mais Bubba The Lovesponge, un de ses amis.

    Pour Kong, le retour n'est pas possible à cause du salaire, de l'actuelle utilisation des KO.
    Donc oui en partie pour Hogan et Bischoff qui s'occupe du booking.
