Janeshia Talks About How She Got into WOW:
I was doing athletic modeling and sports stuff and I got this audition notice. Now you know L.A, we’re out here, we hustling and grinding, it ain't L.A. if you're not hustling. I got five jobs, for of them are husting. So I see this audition notice, and it says "Wanna be a real-life superhero?" Now my agent sent it to me and I had no idea what it was and I don't like to be confused, so I called him and I said "what is this?" he said, "I don't know, I think you should go to it." I was thinking "Would this be the first audition I would miss?" He doesn't know (Her Agent) I don't know what it is, so I said let's go - When I got there, they had all these WOW posters, eight by eleven half sheets pictures of different people and then I recognized a few people. I recognized Elle Alexander who is Danger and she's a stunt coordinator; then I recognized another girl and I'm like "Shoot this is something I need to stay for". Then Jeanie Buss walked out (of the office) and I'm like "Yeah I'm staying! Hold on! I was like Jeanie Buss is here wait a minute now, this means I'm staying!"
Janeshia Talks About The Training To Become A Wrestler:
I will say, I caught on quickly, mainly because I didn't have any fear in me. You know sometimes people are afraid to take a bump. They're afraid to get down on the ground. They're afraid to hit that rope because you get sore. Running ropes... that's a whole different level of conditioning and you get the little rope burn each time you're going back on that. But I think, it helped me having that stunt background already. I wasn't afraid to do a hip-toss, I wasn't afraid to do a suplex or any of that stuff. I think it helped. That's why I kind of think it came natural for me... and I can kind of challenge myself and say 'hey I'm gonna do a front bump high this time, you know, hey I want to do a really high back bump!'
