Key:
SG> Steve Gerweck
AO> Amber O'Neal

SG> How do the dynamics of Team Blondage change by changing members?
AO> I don't think it changes much, I think Team Blondage still rules!

SG> Originally, Team Blondage had a manager. Are there plans for a manager in the future?
AO> There is a possibility but haven't really thought about it! Lollipop becoming our manager was a great thing and I am happy she is on board!

SG> Currently, we don’t see many female tag teams in wrestling, do you see that changing in the future?
AO> I hope so there a few that were on the rise and I was happy it offered competition for team blondage!

SG> How did you find out about Krissy Vaine signing with WWE?
AO> I am so happy for her but I will miss her greatly, we were not just tag partners, we were traveling buddies and best friends! So traveling alone has been difficult but I am getting used to it! I used to look forward to every weekend cause I knew we were going to have a blast! I know this is what she always wanted and I couldn't be happy for her!

SG> How do you see Vaine fitting into the WWE?
AO> I am not sure but I think no matter what they do with her she will be really successful she is very driven!

SG> I know Lollipop at one point managed Team Blondage. Was there instant chemistry?
AO> Oh yes, we were in the process of making her the 3rd member before krissy got signed I am glad she came into the picture! It was definitely instant chemistry! She fit right in!

SG> When and where will the new Team Blondage debut?
AO> For WEW (Women Extreme Wrestling) on April 6th in Atlanta, GA! I am so excited!

SG> What has been the biggest rib you had played on you?
AO> I have never had any played on me believe it or not. I would be so easy to rib on too!

SG> As a new tag team, which opponents are you looking forward to tangle with?
AO> Without a doubt T & A! (Talia & April Hunter). I have been wanting to face them for a while! I think that may happen at a WEW Show, I am pushing for it!

SG> How do you feel fans perceive women’s wrestling compared to men’s wrestling?
AO> I think we are just as important to the show as the men are. We bring something to the business and I am glad to be part of it! together male and female wrestler make for an entertaining card!

SG> What are your individual goals?
AO> I am still striving be the best wrestler I can be! I want to be a very successful person in the wrestling business, that is why I wake up everyday to continously bring everything to the wrestling business I can! I hope it doesn't go unrecognized!

SG> What are your goals for the new Team Blondage?
AO> To be just as successful if not more that the original! I am very proud of the success of Team Blondage it was my concept and it was a dream come true to see the success it has had and I think it will continue to be successful!

SG> Describe your training schedule?
AO> I workout in the gym everyday (also work in a gym) I train at wrestling school Wednesdays and Sundays!

SG> What advice do you have for aspiring females looking to break into the business?
AO> Just make sure you are going to a proper training facility and stick with it .. it is so worth it!

SG> What do you think of the current WWE product?
AO> I think they are doing great I just wish they would train the models just as hard as they train the indy girls they bring in! Mickey James is a good as you get and she was hidden in OVW for years along with Beth (Phoenix) who should have been on TV a long time ago, but we are watching Maria in the main event on Raw!! I am not knocking anyone I just wish the girls who I know really have it in their hearts and sacrificed so much to be where they are got the same chances as the models they hire and put directly on TV.

SG> What do you think of the current TNA product?
AO> ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! Christian, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe are the best in the biz right now and they have them!! I think TNA will be just a success as WWE and its good to know there are two successful national televised wrestling programs on tv right now it gives more hope to the future of wrestling. Would like to see a women's division in TNA right now!

SG> Which do you prefer, being a babyface or heel?
AO> Heel. I get a rush off being the snotty hateful heel that the crowd laughs at and boos at the same time! I feel like I am getting to entertain more as a heel!

SG> Where do you see yourselves in five years?
AO> I don't know but if my body allows it I will still be wrestling!!

SG> Any last words for your Team Blondage fans?
AO> Stay Tuned cause Team Blondage still rocks! I also wanted to thank all the team blondage fans cause Team Blondage would not be what it has been without all of your support!
