Arron
Carlton: How did you getting that role come about?
Santana
G: Well, I am a second generation
wrestler, my dad used to wrestle and ran a promotion
in Central Florida (
High Voltage Wrestling).
So he knows most if not all of the guys that have been
around for a bit. I normally wear my old HVW t-shirt
to the shows and the wrestlers look at me funny and
ask, "Do you know
Keny G?" and I reply
with a smile and tell them he's my dad. The reaction
is always great. So to answer your question, a guy that
used to wrestle for my dad...and my current trainer,
introduced me to
Orlando Jordan and
TNA.
Arron
Carlton: Did you foresee that the
storyline would be met with such strong reactions?
Santana
G: I knew there would be controversy,
but not as much as it received. It's neat to get on
Youtube and see that hundreds, thousands, millions of
people know who I am now.
Arron
Carlton: How was it like working
with Orlando's male valet Cameron?
Santana
G: It was great, never a dull moment
with Cameron
Arron
Carlton: Hopefully we get to see
you wrestle on our television sets soon. To make it
this far is an accomplishment in itself... How long
have you been lacing up those wrestling boots?
Santana
G: I started training approximately
one year ago, made my first appearance in the ring in
August 2009, and had my first match August 2009. For
the short time I've been training I feel as though I
have accomplished so much and am grateful to everyone
who helped me get where I'm at.
Arron
Carlton: Who did you train with?
Santana
G: I trained with Dingo at Dynamo
Pro Gym (in St Louis, Mo) then moved back to Florida
and started training with Chasyn Rance
and Larry Zbyszko at I Believe in Wrestling
in Orlando, Florida.
Arron
Carlton: Who did you wrestle in
your first match?
Santana
G: My first singles debut was in
August 2009 against Mia Martinez for High Voltage Wrestling
in Granite City, Illinois. I was Super nervous and excited
at the same time.
Arron
Carlton: Since then, who have been
some of your favorite wrestlers to work with?
Santana
G: Hands down, Mschif.
She is one of the first girls I got in the ring with
and she is amazing. I wrestled her for the first time
December 5th 2009 and came up short, had a rematch in
february 2010 and went to a ten minute draw, In doing
so, I earned her respect and she presented me with the
opportunity to tag with her in the next match against
Serenity and Jessika Haze.
Arron
Carlton: How would you describe
your style of wrestling? and what moves and finishers
have you been using?
Santana
G: Technical, I like doing moves
that alot of other girls can't do. My finisher is a
standing moonsalt.
Arron
Carlton: What do you ultimately
hope to accomplish in this business?
Santana
G: I want to be the best! I want
people to turn on their TV see me and say, "that's
a pretty girl." Then after they watch my match
I want them to say, "and she can wrestle!"
I want to be a role model for young people, I want to
be able to give back to those who have helped me, and
I want to be able to say I had a dream, I went for it,
and I've accomplished it!
Arron
Carlton: To all those aspiring wrestlers
out there, what advice do you have for them?
Santana
G: This goes for anything, if you
really want something, go for it, and don't stop until
you get exactly where you want to be or what you want.
Don't make excuses, train hard, maintain a good attitude,
and give it your all.
Arron
Carlton: Thank you for your time!
