 Arron Carlton: hey Alere, I hope you're doing fine.
Throughout the years in the wrestling business, I've seen many
gimmicks. In your case, you portray an Native American by wearing
tribal gear. In reality, you are an American native. Do you
think that most people just look at you as portraying a gimmick?
Alere
Little Feather: I
think many people do think I am just portraying
a gimmick. That is why I find it important
to let everyone know the truth.
Arron Carlton:
Do you feel that you portraying your native
heritage in the ring is something that will
go away in your wrestling career?
Alere
Little Feather: My heritage
will always be a part of me, inside and
outside of the ring. But, if in the future
I prefer to wear something less ethnic,
then I'll do so. Maybe I'll mix it up. Who
knows.
Arron Carlton:
Can you tell us about your transition from being in training
to working matches? Were you a valet who took bumps or pulled
of spots during other matches or did you jump right into working
matches?
Alere
Little Feather: After training for a while,
I did do a short stint as a manager. However, my trainer and
myself thought that it would be best to concentrate on my training
since I was training to be a wrestler, not a manager nor valet.
I did wrestle on the student shows though. So that's what I
did until I graduated from the school with the exception of
reffing a few times shortly before. After I graduated, I pretty
much jumped right into working matches.
Arron Carlton:
Was there ever a moment while taking bumps that you had second
thoughts about being a wrestler?
Alere
Little Feather:
Honestly, no.
 Arron Carlton:
On the Independent scene there are many well respected women.
Who are you looking forward to working with in the future?
Alere
Little Feather: There are many
women I would love the opportunity to
work. But to name a few: Malia
Hosaka, Leilani Kai,
Pippa L'Vinn, and Luna
Vachon. I could learn so much
from these women.
Arron Carlton:
Do you feel that the internet plays an important part in your
career?
Alere
Little Feather:
Definitely. The internet is fast and easy for getting information
on anything. I've gotten so much exposure in such a short
time.
Arron Carlton:
How do you feel about the use of Women for T&A in the wrestling
business? Especially on the Internet.
Alere
Little Feather:
I was trained to wrestle, so that's what I stick with. However,
if someone (male or female) has the body and feels comfortable
wrestling in very little, it's their prerogative. In reality,
there are so many different levels to T & A. I would prefer
to be looked at and respected for my talent & ability rather
than my body. As for oil and nude wrestling, I won't do it.
Arron Carlton: So Alere, you're going
in your second year in wrestling and new
to the Indy scene. Here at lethalwow,
you'll be introduced to many WWE
fans who are not exposed to indy workers.
What would you like them to know about
women working in the Indy scene?
Alere
Little Feather:
That women's wrestling shouldn't be underestimated.
Arron Carlton:
So of course we're going to touch on the WWE and their women.
If you had to pick one lady from their roster to be Lady of
the year, based on their impact in 2003, who would it be and
why?
Alere
: I guess I would say
Victoria. She's one
of the women who are helping shape the
WWE women's division back into legitimate
wrestling. She is beautiful and at the
same time can really work. It proves
that not all talented women wrestlers
look like men. I hate that stereotype.
 Arron Carlton: What do you think would
improve the current WWE Women's
Division?
Alere
Little Feather: I think they need
more matches and exposure on both RAW
& SmackDown!. I would
rather watch Molly Holly
VS Jazz over Sable
& Stephanie anytime.
Sometimes it seems that the less attractive,
but better workers get less attention
than the more attractive, but not as
good workers. But that is not entirely
the WWE's fault. Society has a role
in this as well. The division is starting
to shape though. If I had any other
request, it would be to bring back some
legends of the ring that could really
help out the less experienced girls.
Arron Carlton: If you could be in the
WWE and have a match
at WrestlerMania 2004
with any current WWE woman, who would
it be?
Alere
Little Feather: I don't know. Maybe
Jazz or Ivory.
Arron Carlton:
On doing some research on you, you noted that you would want
to work in Japan? Do you feel as if you'll be more respected
by wrestling down there?
Alere : Yes.
I would love to be a regular there. Their style is different
from American wrestling.
Arron Carlton:
Do you feel as if the is a need for another nationwide televised
wrestling promotion?
Alere : I
think the competition would definitely be beneficial to the
industry.
Arron Carlton:
Do you feel like there's room in the wrestling business today
for women who don't know how to wrestle?
Alere : As
an announcer, I guess. But I think if you are going to the
ring as a ref, manager or valet, you should know the basics
at least.
Arron Carlton:I
must ask, where can anyone get videos of any of your matches?
Alere : I
don't have a best of tape yet or anything like that. But I
know my matches from WEW/Dangerous Women of Wrestling have
been taped as well as some of the other feds.
Arron Carlton:
Lastly, do you have any advice for anyone who wants to get into
this business?
Alere : Do
your homework and find a really good school! THanks for your
time.
