Shantelle interviewed
Shantelle spoke to Diva Dirt yesterday about the match and her retirement. Speaking on the match, she said: “It really seems like things have come full circle. When I first started wrestling, SHIMMER was the big promotion around and probably one of the biggest shows I did a year and a half into my training and my match was booked to be against Cheerleader Melissa aka Alissa Flash. It was a big, nerve wracking moment for me. Further on, I had my tryout match with her for TNA so we have a lot of history and we’ve spent a lot of time in the ring together, so it’ll be fun to finish with her.”

More highlights:
Whether it was coincidence that both she and Hamada left at the same time despite being Knockouts Tag Team Champions: “Yeah. Actually I found out that Hamada was fired or that Hamada had left the company when you all did. When it became a story on the Internet. I was in shock. It was an interesting ordeal. I decided to retire and she decided to quit so it just so happens that we were a tag team in the ring but mentally, we were on the same page too.”

On her retirement match with Alissa Flash: “It really seems like things have come full circle.

Further on, I had my tryout match with her for TNA so we have a lot of history and we’ve spent a lot of time in the ring together, so it’ll be fun to finish with her.”

Revealing exclusively what her next step in life is: “I got accepted into the pre-firefighting service at Humber College in Toronto and I’m on my way to being a firefighter. I’m not gonna sit behind a desk in a cubicle. I have to do something physical. At least this way, I’ll be giving back and I’ll be of benefit to society.”
