Things were almost very, very different in her life.

Pre-wrestling, Chelsea was attending school and training for a career in kinesiology. For those who don't know, the science is one that studies body movement, and it's something Green was fascinated with as a child. In an interview with Afterbuzz TV, she told the story of her drastic career change.

One Christmas, Green visited family back home in Victoria, British Columbia. She'd already stumbled upon some women's wrestling online (an unnamed match from Raw) and figured her athletic background in sports and fitness would make her good at it. That's when she decided to let the folks know.

At first, her family thought it was a joke. It wasn't until they saw their daughter's drive and determination to give it a go that they agreed to back her decision to stop studying kinesiology and pursue a wrestling career. That can't have been easy for Green's parents.
