While
promoting this Tuesday's SmackDown! taping at the Quicken Loans Arena
in Cleveland, Ohio, Kelly Kelly participated in a quirky interview with
Cleveland.com's self-professed 'Pop Diva' Andrea Simakis.
Prior
to the interview text, Simakis reveals that she was prohibited from
referring to WWE as "wrestling." Rather, it is "entertainment" or
"sports entertainment." She also adds that wrestlers aren't to be called
wrestlers, as they are "Superstars" or "Divas."
The SmackDown
Diva was asked about WWE discovering her in a modeling catalog and her
initial reaction to joining the organization.
She replied,
"They knew I had an athletic background. I was a gymnast for 10 years,
and I've always been into sports. My agent was like, "It's kind of
far-fetched. I don't know if you're interested" and I was like, "Heck
yeah! Put me on a plane -- I wanna go!"
Some detractors of
professional wrestling insist it's fake. Kelly says in response, "I just
wanna punch people in the face when they say something like that.
"Luckily, I haven't been severely injured, but I've . . . broken ribs
and stuff. It's not as glamorous as it looks. Still, I love comin' to
work every week."
Simakis then tells Kelly that her body looks completely real to her.
"Oh, it is," she replied. "I'm not ashamed of it. It's all real. I love
getting that question because I'm like, "Yes they are and I'm so
proud."
Simakis then asks whether her fellow Divas are worried
about their breast implants exploding when they hit the mat. The
interview, however, comes to a halt as a WWE P.R. guy listening in
suggests it ends. Seriously.
Other topics discussed include her
wrestling outfits, her ring name, whether any soldiers "got fresh" with
her during her visit to Afghanistan last year, and more.
