Total Divas' is all about us women backstage and our personal lives.
I think that the potential of Total Divas and female athletes is that the sky is the limit. People want to know about these women, and in the WWE, we call it the Divas Revolution - it's a movement for women's empowerment.
I think the success of 'Total Divas' has opened people's eyes to women in wrestling and to WWE divas.
Being a Diva is not easy. We are on the road 300 days a year. We don't get a lot of family or personal time. With 'Total Divas' on top of that, on our days off, we have the cameras following us, and that's not for everyone.
I think the one thing about 'Total Divas' is that we all had to open up our lives. We all had to open up that book and show you every chapter we've been through. Then when you start comparing, you see we all have something in common. That's what made us all close.
The great thing about 'Total Divas' is that it gives people who don't watch wrestling an avenue to see how empowering we women are.
When they told all of us about the idea of NXT, for the Divas that was our first question - will there be women on the show?
I think because of 'Total Divas,' people have gotten to know who we are and kind of see more of the personality of the divas.
Let's face it, who among us wouldn't take a pill or potion that would make us better at our job? Goodness knows, we abuse substances for just about everything in our personal lives; why not in our professional lives as well?
Poetry can tell us about what's going on in our lives - not only our personal but our social and political lives.
I think 'Total Divas' has brought the women more mainstream and so many opportunities. However, I've always thought, if I'm supposed to be on the show, I'll be on the show. It's all about timing.
In 'Total Divas,' our men are our garnish. In 'Total Bellas,' you finally get them in the interview chair, and you get to hear their perspective on the events going on. Fans will get to hear their point of view.
I think sometimes wrestling fans will feel different, but the thing is, 'Total Divas' introduced women's wrestling to the world.
What had really caused the women's movement was the additional years of human life. At the turn of the century women's life expectancy was forty-six; now it was nearly eighty. Our groping sense that we couldn't live all those years in terms of motherhood alone was "the problem that had no name." Realizing that it was not some freakish personal fault but our common problem as women had enabled us to take the first steps to change our lives.
Modern reality has got such a hold on us that... when we attempt to reconstruct the ancient days in our thoughts...the minor events of our lives tear us away from our meditations, and... thrust us back into our personal [problems]
That's the great thing about 'Total Divas,' is that it brings fans in that weren't already watching or wouldn't normally watch.
Something that's interesting with season two of 'Total Divas,' Fandango and I's relationship has been on the surface level, as far as WWE programming with 'Monday Night Raw,' 'Main Event,' 'Friday Night SmackDown.' You see us on camera and that's about it.
