Leilani Kai talks Wrestlemania, Vince Russo, Alundra Blayze, and more

Recap of Leilani Kai on In Your Head Wrestling Radio, 01/22/2014

Host Jack E. Jones welcomed legendary ladies wrestler Leilani Kai to IYH Wrestling Radio.

Highlights included the following:

What was the build-up like for you for your match in WrestleMania I? Could you see how big this was going to be?

?I didn?t really realize it at first. I did a match with Wendi (Richter), and I retained the belt, but afterwards I had actually gone to Japan and I didn?t get back till probably two days before the actual event of WrestleMania. I didn?t realize how big it was until I got there. Once I was in the arena, there was so much excitement going on; people running around everywhere, and seeing celebrities and all. I didn?t realize how big it was, not at that moment I didn?t. I realized it afterwards; they had a big huge party and everybody was there and having a good time and dancing. It was a little bit different, but I didn?t realize really how big it was until I was there. I didn?t hear much talk about it when I was overseas?I didn?t really realize how big it was going to be, but it was the most exciting night of my whole life. I loved it; it was a lot of fun.?

Where did your hatred for Vince Russo start?

?It started when he wanted me to do mud wrestling. I had come to the event, I think it was Denver, Colorado, to wrestle a lady named Brandy Alexander, and they just changed it on me and wanted me to do mud wrestling on the show. I was like, ?You?ve got to be out of your mind; I?m not going to do anything like that.? Now that I think about it, I would do anything if I can let him get in the mud with me, maybe in a cage, and I?ll wrestle him and let him see what it feels like. I?d love to do that; get in a mud wrestling match with him in a cage. But that was an awful long time ago, and I just didn?t care for that at all. That?s not what I?m about, and it really upset me pretty bad; it wasn?t a very good scene. I really don?t think that he knew what he was doing, I really don?t. It didn?t do a lot for a lot of the young talent getting in the business; it wasn?t good for them at all. I don?t think they were treated right and he just messed it up with that cartoonish-type thing. I think it messed it up for a lot of the guys who were really trying to make it in the business and worked so hard to pave for pro wrestling. I just didn?t care for the way he pursued his characters or whatever cartoonish things he did. It really made me mad when he said that to me; I was really upset, I think I really went off on him.?

Other topics discussed included:

? Who are some of the younger female wrestlers that stand out to her?

? What does she think the differences are between women?s wrestling now and when she broke in?

? How did the match against Alundra Blayze at WrestleMania X come about?

? What is the difference in styles between wrestling in Japan and wrestling in the States?

? Why did they change her name in WCW to Patty Stonegrinder?
