Kiera Hogan Wasn’t Contacted For Mae Young Classic
Women’s Wrestling Weekly interviewed Impact Wrestling’s Kiera Hogan recently. You can see the full interview above and at this link, and check out submitted highlights below.
Has Kiera been contacted by WWE for the Mae Young Classic?:
No, I haven’t been contacted by the WWE in two years…then I got signed with Impact so I was like well I’m definitely out of the running now…
What are the biggest challenges you’ve faced in wrestling so far?:
My personal problem now is I feel like even though I’m on TV I feel as though I’ve plateaued…I’m getting a little rise but honestly, not as much as I should. As me seeing my progress, and I definitely have my faults, I’m not going to say that I don’t. I’m definitely still learning…Even with other girls, I feel like there’s so much talent that needs to be looked at, who deserve opportunities that other girls are getting…I just feel like I said I’m trying to evolve my character because I feel like I’m just missing something…I’m just in the mix. I want to be the main event star, I want to be the reason people turn on the TV…I want a story…
Where do you think your career is going to take you?:
In the past few months I’ve looked at my career so differently…when I first started, my dream was to go to the WWE, because ever since I was a little girl that’s always what I wanted to do. But, right now, I want to be able to learn, grow, and be able to the best wrestler I can be, before I go to the big stage…I want to be so good that they’re chasing me down!
If Kiera could wrestle anyone who ever wrestled:
Mickie James will always be my number one…because she’s my idol. Literally, like some of the things I do in my wrestling are an homage to her…I would love to wrestle Mae Young and Fabulous Moolah…If I could bring back everybody, I would wrestle every single one of them.
Which wrestlers in Impact inspire Kiera?
Angelina Love is most definitely one of my favourite Knockouts growing up. I just loved her aggression and her punky rock style, I was really into that in middle school. But I just loved her attitude and the way she works and Angelina Love was definitely somebody I emulate. Especially when I’m a Heel — Melina is in there a little bit too when I’m Heel…The Beautiful people as a faction as well was something that I looked into. And of course Gail Kim…Brooke Tessmacher…I always wanted to do a booty tag team with her!
