Former Knockouts Champion Brooke recently took part in an interview with the v2 Wrestling Podcast and discussed working as a heel character, her TNA Knockouts Title win and who she believes has helped her the most in developing her craft.
Addressing who she feels she has learned the most from, Brooke said, “Gail Kim. She is phenomenal. I would have never had my run last year if it wasn’t for her. I pick her brain, I annoy her and just being in the ring with her has helped guide me.”
Brooke also discussed if she ever saw herself ever playing a heel and if she is enjoying it.
“I think it’s just more rewarding to get out there and feel the hate from the crowd that means you’re doing your job. It’s so much more fun to be over the top and annoying and mean, and to play dirty.”
Another topic of conversation was her first Knockouts Championship win. Regarding the historic moment, Brooke said, “It was something I never saw coming. I never thought I’d be good enough to hold the title and be looked at as the champion of this company… I’ll always remember that, and I remember that feeling of, ‘Now I’m finally somebody, now I’ve made a point that I’m not just some dancing chick.'”
Brooke also talks about fighting a norovirus that kept her out of action, her motivation to apply for the WWE Diva Search and if she was shocked at how physical the business can be.
