Nidia joined the program and first discussed what she's been up to since leaving the WWE. Rumors of her backpacking and traveling all over Australia and Europe are true, but she said wrestling isn't a priority right now. "I just kind of stopped wrestling," she began, "I didn't want to wrestle. I was kind of burned out before whenever I was in the company, so I just needed a little time off, to relax, and get my mind back together". Nidia did claim that every now and then she'll still get offers to wrestle in various places and she'll do it sometimes.
Chris brought up Gail Kim, a good friend of Nidia, heading to TNA and asked what the future holds for her and whether wrestling and/or TNA could be a possibility. "I really have no plans right now," she responded, "just being young, I guess. I got blessed with the opportunity to make a little bit of cash [in WWE] and I'm basically just spending it on what I want". She doesn't feel like she's giving up on her dream of wrestling because she's already accomplished it. "Now we move on to other dreams..I really don't have one right now. I'm living life, I'm enjoying it..I mean you only live once and I feel so blessed right now to be able to do what I want".
Nidia claims to have known about the cut coming from WWE and it wasn't much of a surprise to her when it happened. "To be honest with you, I knew that it was coming to an end because I didn't feel it in my heart," Nidia explained, "and either they were going to let me go or I was gonna go. My contract was up in June and I know this sounds so bad, but June just didn't seem to come fast enough for me". Her reasons for not being content with the company were also due to the direction WWE were taking with their women. "It's like no matter how hard you work, it really doesn't matter," she said, "women's wrestling right now is a little shaky and it's like they're going more on looks than on skill".
After claiming she hates getting her nails done and other things that typical girls do, Molly Brown asks the question that only a woman could pull of asking another woman. "Why did you get the implants?" she asks. Nidia doesn't have a problem explaining either. "I was blessed, I guess, with big boobs," she responded, "when I was 16, I had D's. But whenever I started lifting, they kind of went away and then they went away again, so I went from a size D to a size B and then I had extra skin. I'm too young to have saggy boobs...I was like forget about it, fill them in and that's what happened". Although she thinks she first got them too big, after her release from WWE, she went back and reduced them to normal size again so all is well in the world of Nidia and her boobs!
Chris asked whether the WWE could have done something different with Nidia to make her time there more enjoyable at the end or whether she would have felt the same way regardless any efforts on their part. "You know..at times I wish that wrestling was, in fact, a sport..like real. I love to work hard and I love to improve and it's very frustrating whenever you do work hard and whenever you improve and it doesn't matter. After a while it's like why am I even working hard?" That's part of the reason Nidia enjoys working overseas because she feels the crowds appreciate it more. "You feel the energy [overseas] and just charge up and that's what I loved about wrestling..that's what keeps you going. You get all the nonsense in the back and all the politics..but whenever you're out there and you feel the people's energy, that's what makes it worth while".
"Oh...how can I put this?" Nidia said as she prepared to talk about how the politics of the WWE were for her. "How about hell? It's hell, man. You gotta watch what you say and that's when I knew that it was done. I came back and it's like I'm watching what I say around my friends so I thought maybe it's time for me to get out". However, although it did get pretty bad for Nidia behind the scenes, she never had any problems with Stephanie McMahon personally. As far as a specific point when Nidia realized she was beginning to become very burned out, she said it was when she went to Raw. "Personally, I think on Raw, it's more business. On Smackdown, we just really enjoy life a little more". She worked better relaxed and claims that wrestling, for her, is about having fun and she didn't have as much fun on Raw.
Lastly, Chris brought up that it seems as if Nidia doesn't have the passion anymore at all for the business like others that are still trying to make it and are already there. "That's why it wouldn't even be fair for me to be there," she responded, "there's so many people out there that have that fire and have that passion..an absolute love for the business. It wouldn't be fair for me and it wouldn't be fair for them because it's like I believe that everybody has their purpose and if that's not in my heart, then I will find something that will bring that fire back".
