JM: What Made you decide to get in the Wrestling Biz after being an accomplished Model?
BB: Thanks for the compliment!
There are many reasons why I decided to get into the wrestling biz.
For starters, I have always been adventurous and liked trying new things.
Not only that, but I had a background in several sports... gymnastics, soccer, shot put, track, weight lifting, and kick boxing. I loved playing sports but there aren't that many that you can participate in once you graduate from high school and college. I found that I had missed playing sports (mostly soccer and gymnastics) after all these years so I welcomed the chance to learn something new and get physical.
I also remembered chatting with several fans of mine and they were dying to see me wrestle Sable. I always remembered that in the back of my head. Then it just kind of fell into my lap. It started out with my pictures being published in an issue of Playboy with Sable on the cover. That was a bit of a sign to me, looking back after the fact. Then a few years later, I was invited to an audition for this wrestling tv show called WOW. My agent asked me if I would be interested and I was like, "Hell yeah!". So I went and ended up getting the part.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JM: What is it Like to Wrestle for David McClain Women of Wrestling show as Summer of the tag team beach patrol?
BB: It was fun while it lasted. I liked the character a lot. I only wish that I could have learned a lot more. There was limited time because there were so many girls on the show. Only the girls that were getting a push at the time had extra time spent with them in training, but I really had a desire to learn.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JM: What is your experience like training in Ohio Valley wrestling this far?
BB: Well let me just tell you, even after my experience wrestling on the TV show WOW, I had no idea what I was getting myself into! Like I said earlier, when I was on WOW, I really wanted to learn. However, I was always treated like a china doll because of how I look. I guess that's just the way it is and it is an obstacle that I have to overcome. It's kind of hard for me to explain. When you are a model, people just assume that you are scared to break a nail or something. And people always want to typecast me as just being some busty blonde bimbo... but looks can be deceiving. I love proving people wrong and surprising them in the end! You can't always judge a book by it's cover. I'm living breathing proof of that. I can't wait to work as hard at this as I did on my site and my modeling career. I've always been a very hard worker and when I put my mind to something, I feel there is no limit as to what you can accomplish.
OVW is completely different than WOW in so many ways! I find it to be extremely challenging and I'm learning a lot. I'm excited because I finally feel like I have the opportunity to learn. The sky's the limit and I am very optimistic that once my injury is healed, I will be able to get back in the ring and tear it up. I was already making a lot of progress before I got hurt!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JM: When will we see Bobbi Billard on WWE TV?
BB: I don't know. I can't promise anything.
Hopefully, whenever they feel that I am ready.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JM: What was the experience like wrestling at your very first PPV Match at WOW Unleashed
BB: It was great until I sprained my AC. The crowd popped during that move though. LOL! The crowd seemed very live and into our match a lot, although they didn't care for the fact that the match ended in a draw.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
