ODB is one of the most unique women wrestlers in the entire industry. Her in your face attitude, and intense brawling style is a far cry from anything youll see in WWE. From multiple runs from 2007 to 2014, ODB rocked the TNA womens division compiling a load of accomplishments under her belt. She held the Knockouts Title four times, was the Knockout of the year winner in 2009 and held the Knockouts Tag Titles for a record breaking 478 days, which puts CM Punks title reign to shame! After parting ways with TNA in August, ODB has kept busy with a variety of side projects. From appearing on reality shows with her Airstream Trailer to starting up her own line of ODB barbecue and hot sauce, shes kept her name out there. Here she takes on 20 random questions spanning from her time before wrestling, to WWE developmental, to TNA, her upcoming plans, and getting in trouble for grabbing her boobs too much on TV. Random Question 1: Whats the worst job youve ever had? ODB: Ive had pretty fun jobs actually. My first job I worked at Disney World. I had a college internship back in 98. You know what? When I was in college at St. Cloud State in Minnesota I actually worked at Goldn Plump. I lasted two weeks. It paid really good, and I needed some beer money so my friends were like Oh yeah, you should work at Goldn Plump! And what I did was, I was one of the people that packed the chicken into the meat so I was in the factory basically and had a nice little hair net and gloves and I was packing the chickens. Random Question 2: In high school, were you popular? What crowd did you hang out with? ODB: Oh good old high school. I played sports I was kind of like friends with everyone. I wasnt the prom queen or the homecoming queen or nothing, and I didnt have any boyfriends in high school. But I was there, I was very quiet in high school. I also did some musicals. I was in that 10th, 11th, and 12th. I danced when I was younger for like 12 years, and I was always into the entertaining, so thats what kind of got me out of my shell when I was on stage. I was always busy with after school activities. I was a normal person. I believe Im having a high school reunion next year, so its on. Random Question 3: Did you know you wanted to be a wrestler back in high school? ODB: Yeah, growing up I watched the AWA here in Minnesota. I used to have wrestling pictures in my locker hanging up. And if you talked to anyone from high school, everyone was like Yep, she wanted to be a wrestler, and I always had my wrestling shirts. I actually wore Zubaz too. I wore a Venice Beach shirt to school one time, had my Macho Man shirt on.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
