I still remember the first time I stepped into House of Glory. It was the week leading up to Brooklyn, and I was buzzing with nerves and excitement. At the time, I asked my husband where the best place to train in New York was. He mentioned Amazing Red at HOG (House of Glory) or Brian Myers and Pat Buck at Create-A-Wrestler. As a teenager, I was a HUGE fan of Amazing Red. I looked up to him so much, and I had all these wild ideas for my match in Brooklyn—ideas I’d never seen any woman do before. I wanted to break barriers and create something unforgettable.
HOG was closer to my hotel, so I went there, heart racing. My face lit up like a Christmas tree when I finally met Red. I couldn’t stop smiling! I spilled all my crazy ideas for Brooklyn, hoping he wouldn’t think I was out of my mind. To my relief, he didn’t—well, maybe just a little! His main concern was whether WWE would allow me to pull off those moves. But deep down, I believed I could do it. He believed in me, too, and that meant everything.
Red taught me everything I wanted to learn. I left those sessions feeling empowered and ready to change the game with my match. I’ll forever be grateful to Red for believing in me and giving me a space to explore my wildest dreams. Learning from him has been an absolute joy, and I can’t wait to step into the ring for House of Glory on March 15.
