Shotzi Blackheart, The Ballsy Badass, is embracing her hardcore persona.
“So anything that you’re seeing me doing, I probably came up with. I’m the disgusting mastermind behind it,” she told Metro UK. “I want that to be my little buddy. I want people to know me for stapling people’s heads.”
Flourishing outside the WWE, Shotzi has recently been appearing for GCW, MLW and Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling,
‘When I’m wrestling, I don’t feel any pain ever. My adrenaline is going so high and I just get in there and can just do whatevet but it’s after when the adrenaline goes down, that’s when you really start feeling things. I know how much it sucks to pick glass out of your back after match and they’ll do that like five nights in a row and I’m just in awe of it,” she said of deathmatch wrestlers.
The one regret Shotzi has about her WWE career is not having a more meatier feud with Chelsea Green. During it, Shotzi shaved her head as part of the storyline but in reality did so to support her sister’s cancer fight.
“We saw it as way more intense than what was portrayed on television. We wanted to get to a hair versus hair match at some point and that was going to be the way that she took my hair. It got diluted so much,” she said of the rivalry.
Shotzi is making the most of her post-WWE career. It is the shot in the arm she needed.
‘I really needed this indie run to have full creative control of my career and to be able to get here and learn from so many different walks of life. It’s helped me a lot to refine who I am, that girl that WWE saw a spark in and hired,” she said.
