| Lexie Fyfe's Biography | |
|
I went to Elon College in North Carolina and now reside in Tampa, Florida after a couple of years in Jeffersonville, Indiana. I still miss New Jersey a lot, but it's nice to come home to some peace and quiet after being on the road with a bunch of wrestlers. And I don't miss the snow!
Okay, for those of you who wonder how I got involved in wrestling, here's my story. I love wrestling.
I had watched it for years but never said that I wanted to be a wrestler when I grow up. The opportunity presented
itself and I took it.
I stayed at Spence's school for a little over a year while learning the basic techniques of wrestling. Feeling that
I needed to become more versatile and learn different styles, I left Spence's school. I had met Matt Hardy on a show and he invited me down to their training place. In fact, I was thinking about leaving wrestling because I didn't feel that I was progressing in the ring. I decided to give the OMEGA camp a try and that's the only reason that I'm still in wrestling to this day. I learned so much there especially about the psychology of a wrestling match. Also, I had the chance to learn valuable skills from the "unpredictable" Johnny Rodz who has trained such stars as Taz and Saturn. I visited his school probably 6 times on various trips to the New York area. He was nice enough to allow me to come train when I was in town. I continue to learn every day from different wrestlers that I meet throughout my travels. I love to hop in the ring to learn things. In fact I always joke that I am more comfortable in the ring than anywhere else! (Not sure how much of a joke that is!!)
Well, now it's around 13 years later and I'm still wrestling everywhere I can! I have crossed off almost all of the goals that I have made for myself. I've helped other wrestlers get started and my husband and I have our own business SLAMmin Promotions. We developed a successful site- SLAMminladies.com plus run 7 other sites that all have to do with wrestling. So I'm actually making a living from wrestling!! I've wrestled on live tv and traveled to almost all the places that I have wanted to. I've wrestled in 33 different states and 12 countries so far. Always hoping to add to that total!!
I must say that this is an addiction. I don't think that I could quit wrestling now if I tried. I love the crowds, the workouts, the athleticism. I even don't mind the pain... well, not too much. Okay, sometimes the pain sucks! I feel really blessed that I have the opportunity to make a living doing something that I have such a passion for. If everyone could have a job that they love this much, the world would be a better place. Anyway, that's my wrestling story...so far...
Favorite colors- purple and red
Favorite foods- Ice cream and chocolate!!!
Favorite music- I like all kinds except maybe Opera.
I have a wide variety of music in my cd collection.
Favorite movies- I like musicals so "Sound of Music"
and "The Wizard of OZ" top my list. I absolutely love
to go to the movies. I'd go every week if I had the
time. I rarely watch tv but I will rent movies to
watch from time to time. Nothing beats seeing them in
a theater though!
Favorite authors- I love murder mysteries. Iris
Johansen, Kay Hooper, Jonathan Kellerman, Tami Hoag,
Faye Kellerman and James Patterson are just a few in
that genre that I like. I also read Stephen King,
Dean Koontz, Anne Rice and Nora Roberts a lot. One of
my favorite ways to unwind is to read. I also read on
while I'm on the stationary bike at the gym and on
planes so I guess I read alot!
I also collect dragons (especially pewter ones), Precious Moments and stuffed animals.
Love and Peace,
