“Interview at the radio station.”

Place: A radio station sound booth. Station is Sirus XM Channel 68: Octane, Pure Hard Rock. In New York City overlooking Times Square.

Date: Friday Aug 24th, 2012

Time: 2:00PM

Outfit: My Outfit

Background Music: None

(The camera fades from black to a radio station play booth and we see Vespertine with headphones on talking to another woman who is behind the control board. There are posters of various hard rock/heavy metal bands posted all over the walls, and a couple of potted plants in the corners. As we watch, the sound comes up and we hear the woman talking to her audience. The woman is named Kayla and is one of the primary DJ’s for Octane and also the Boneyard on Channel 71 for Sirius XM.)

Kayla: And that was “Second Chance” by Shinedown. Welcome back, if you just tuned
In, you are listening to SirusXM channel 68, Octane, Pure Hard Rock. We have a special guest today. She has joined us in the studios here and brought with her, her bass guitar, in case she wanted to play for us. She is the bass guitarist and co lead vocal to the band Inner Darkness and also full time wrestler for UWF, Kimber Le, but her ring name is Vespertine. Thank you for joining me here in the studio.

V: My pleasure, Kayla. It’s a pleasure to be here.

K: Now, do you go by Kimber or by Vespertine?

V: I usually go by Vespertine. My friends, boyfriend, family call me that as well. It’s my ringname…

K: Good deal. Anyway, I saw your last show over 4th of July. You and Cody really rocked it hard up there in Portland, Ore.

V: You saw it?

K: I certainly did. I’m a huge fan of female fronted bands like you guys, Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, Halestorm, Delain and others. Who else is in your band?

V: Well, Cody Black is our lead guitarist. I’m the bass. His wife, Rae Rossi Black, aka, the Wolf is another guitarist. Our drummer is Lizzy Dadner aka known as Nightelf and our Keyboardist is Bill Wheldon. I guess you would liken our sound as a cross between Lacuna Coil and Wicked Wisedom.

K: Which you know is fronted by Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith’s Wife.

V: Yes it is. I’m a big fan of her band because not only do you have a smooth sound from them but the front man is a woman, and a black woman as well. You don’t see too many black women fronting Metal bands.

K: That’s true. You know she was in here a few months ago.

V: Oh really?

K: Sitting in that very seat?

V: Oh really? (she gets up off the seat to look down and pats it. She sits back down) Well now I can say I had my brush with stardom. I mean she is huge in her own right? And she is married to that georgous man, Will.

(Kayla and Vespertine laugh.)

K: But music is just a side thing for you, right? Your real job is as wrestler for UWF. What does that stand for?

V: Universal Wrestling Federation. And most of my band members are wrestlers who I have battled in the past.

K: Really?

V: Yes, Nightelf was my mentor who taught me to be Extreme. I met her in my first federation, WCW. Rae and I had a good rivalry and even had a couple of Hell in a Cell matches. We met a few federations later in VCW. Same with Cody. Cody I met once in the ring. He is Rae’s husband. And Bill was in completely different federation and we had a relationship storyline going on. We met in another federation called FTW. I found out he liked to play the keyboard and we brought him in. He is the shyest in the group but he fits right in.

K: Now how long have you been wrestling?

V: 7 years now. Give or take.

K: Wow! That is a long time, for an industry such as yours. How did you start in that business? Did all of a sudden you just up and say: “Today, I want to be a wrestler.”

(Vespertine chuckles a bit)

V: Sort of. I was sitting at home one day about 10 years ago watching a match between Lita and Trish Stratus and I saw the moves that they did and how well they performed them and you know my background being Karate and Tae Kwon Do, and I was just getting into Capoeira, and Muay Thai Kickboxing, I was like: “I can do that. I CAN do that.” I went to a local show. I was living in Hermosa Beach at the time and I saw my first Asian American woman wrestling in the ring. Her name was Gail Kim, she went against another lovely female named Melina. I just had to go meet her, Gail. So I slipped past security guards and knocked on her door. She was impressed with my guts for slipping past the guards. We talked for a bit and then Gail pointed me in the direction of a teacher south of the border in Mexico City. This was before both Gail and Melina got into WWE and even before they got into OVW, or Ohio Valley Wrestling, which is the developmental league for WWE. Since then, Gail and I have been friends.

K: So your style of wrestling is high flying lucha libre?

V: Yes... in a way. My style is a mix. I have mixed martial arts in my reperatoire. I have lucha libre which is the high flying style of wrestling, I added mat technician based moves like you see Bret Hart, Eddie Guerrero, and Chris Benoit do… I’m sorry did. May both of them rest in peace. And if you put all three together: high flying, mat technician, and mixed martial arts, you have a very dangerous but awesome combination there.

K: Nice! Now people say wrestling is fake. Is that true?

V: Anybody who has been in the ring knows that is so NOT true. The punches and the kicks may look and seem fake but the falls, the broken bones and the blood are VERY real. Anybody who watches from the audience may say: “oh he didn’t hit him that hard.” Or “the bandage on those ribs are all just show.” People see that and they don’t believe that we are actually hitting each other and that there is actual contact. But I’ve been in the ring with men and women, with and without weapons and I can definitely say, that wrestling is real. The blood is real. The pain IS real.

K: You’ve been in the ring with men too? Wow! You’re brave. That must be very scary since they hit so much harder than women.

V: Yes, they do hit harder than women but its women you have to watch out for.

K: Really? Why?

V: Yes. Well when men wrestle against women they think: “Oh I’m facing a woman, she isn’t that hard. I’ll easily beat her.” And that’s when they underestimate the female. For example, since I’m 115lbs, I have wrestled guys who were three times heavier than I was and I beat them because they underestimated me. With all that bulk and mass they have, they easily get worn down. So I just bide my time and wait for the right moment and strike when they least expect it. 80% of the time this works. Now, women on the other hand are a different matter. Since every women out there is there to prove something to someone: whether it be that they want to feel like they can compete with men, or they can wrestle as well as the other women on the roster, or they want to go after a title and prove they are worthy of it, women try to do it stronger, harder, bigger, better. Women are more cunning, devious and dangerous than men. This is because, we have something to prove. We have to step up to the plate and back up our talk. A good female wrestler will take it and try to give back even harder. A bad wrestler will fall down and be pinned easily. They aren’t there for very long. And since women want to always be the best and be at the top, nothing is sacred. They hit harder, and stronger, and they are more cunning and craftier than men. And when you get a woman on top of her A- game, she becomes more devious, and more dangerous than any man in the business. Men are like that too. Men want to be on top. But women need to prove their worth to the men to be on top. Men think we are only eye candy. So the women have got to step up and show them we are more than eye candy. We have as much, if not more, talent that the men.

K: Wow. I didn’t know that. Do you think I could become a wrestler?

V: With a little training and the right amount of coaching, I’m sure you could. You have the mic skills down pat.

(both of them laugh)

K: That’s true. Maybe you could teach me some moves later. Now your debut match in UWF was a Stairway to Heaven match in a PPV called Ultimate Showdown. There you came close but you didn’t get that briefcase at the top of the ladder. Your next match is this Sunday at Underground against the person who won that Stairway to Heaven match, Jamie O Hara. Now before we talk about O Hara. What exactly is a Stairway to Heaven match and what is Ultimate Showdown?

V: Well basically, it’s UWF’s version of Wrestlemania. And a Stairway to Heaven match is UWF’s version of a Money In the Bank match. But instead of having just a ladder in there and 5 other people to compete against, the ring is surrounded by a cage so you can’t escape either and if the ladder is knocked out from under you, you don’t fall to ringside, you fall into the cage and then 15 feet down to the ground. It’s very painful. I’m actually still hurting.

K: Really? What hurts most on you?

V: My lower back and neck but really what hurts most right now is my pride. My ego took somewhat of a hit. It was, after all my debut match. But my neck hurts because I took one hella huge clothesline from a guy who weighed 300lbs and was 6’9. His name was Lucifer Creed

K: So now you’re next opponent is someone named Jamie O Hara. Can you tell me a little bit about him?

V: Truth to tell, I don’t know much about him other than he currently lives in Australia and doing my homework on him I know his moves and his past. I do adore his Australian accent though. I’m a sucker for accents. Plus he is a hottie. You got to give him that. BUT this is the first time I have faced him one on one and this is my second time in a UWF ring. There is no back story, no history with him, just Jamie and I facing each other in a kind of exhibition match to make my official debut here in UWF.

K: So what’s his style of wrestling like? Same or different from yours?

V: Watching the PPV and past PPVs and some Undergrounds that the production crew managed to scrounge up for me, I have to say his moves are almost like mine with one or two exceptions. He’s high flying and mat based and I’m more high flying and mixed martial arts. It’s going to be an interesting showdown with him. Now I’ve been all around the world and have seen many different styles of wrestling, lucha libre and martial arts. I have a counter for almost everything. Key word being “almost”. There are some moves I have yet to find a counter for and if he finds those moves and uses them on me, I’m dust.

K: Well we got to take a quick commercial break soon and we have two more hours with you and I want to hear you play your bass and probably the piano a little bit too, do you think you could do that for us?

V: What? Play for you? I don’t see why not.

K: Good deal. Anyway, while you are here do you have any words for Jamie?

V: I do. My sweet.

K: Have at it then.

(she clears her throat so she can begin talking)

V: Jamie, my sweet. Unlike you, I don’t have a storyline. I don’t have a part 1, part 2, part 3 etc…, yet or even a storyline that I would like to present to the fans and roster of UWF. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have anything to talk about. I always have something to talk about. I mean I could talk about how long winded you are but then so am I? I could talk about how you like to lecture everyone on your past history but then so do I and I’m pretty sure that like me, you’ll stop listening after 5 minutes or so, bored beyond all belief. I haven’t figured out yet what angle I want but you definitely pushed my hand and now I’m a heel.

(she pauses, then to Kayla)

V: That’s the evil guy for those who are up with the wrestling jargon.

K: Ah, gotcha.

V: (back to the mic) In my way I apologized for thinking you are nothing. I talked about how in 5 to 10 years nobody is going to remember what I say about certain superstars and that what they will remember about me are my moves, skills, and talents in the ring. Possibly also the fact I love my sex and jumping into bed with every hot guy and gal around INCLUDING you. This would be a pleasure for me but I’m pretty sure you couldn’t keep up with me in the bedroom.

K: Wow! Did it go up 20 degrees in here?

V: (laughs) I’m sure it did (back to the mic) But Jamie, like you said, what I should do is get back up from failure, dust myself off and keep going. I usually do. I fume for a good day or so but then when I’m done, I learn from my mistakes and I come back stronger, bigger, better than I was before. Obviously you do too. Now, that is also where we are similar. I could talk about our similarities and our differences. But you know what; I think our war of words is finally coming to a close. I can trash talk with the best of them but you would only see right through it. I can talk about how I need to earn your respect because respect is earned never given but I think I lost that battle too after my last few promos. Now I just need to come back and I need to win. It’s not a want anymore. It’s a need. I need to win. I need to get a three count over you. In our upcoming match, I’m not letting you win easily this time. I’m going to pick you apart and take you past your breaking point and then I’m going way beyond what you consider normal and break you down and wear you out. You weigh 150 lbs more than me. I know what I can do the ring, AND I know what you can do in the ring. Question is: are you prepared for me one on one and can you counter anything and everything I got. If you can, all the more power to you, but if you can’t then my journey to the top of UWF will start… with…. YOU! You are my stepping stone my sweet. Not the other way around. And try all you like to convince me, yourself, and everyone else that I’m your stepping stone but nobody is buying that. Not after your win at STH and not after the fact that you have been World Heavyweight Champion in UWF. Not after the fact that this is your second STH win and this is your second run in UWF with better results than the first run. No, I’m not your stepping stone, YOU are mine. And I’m bringing my A game because I’m going to do everything in my power to take you down and prove to you and the management that I’m better than you and I’m on my way to the top of UWF. Just remember this: Death by diva.

K: Oh yeah, that’s your catchphrase. NICE!

V: I think it works. I mean, after all, I AM a diva. I am a female warrior. So the only thing he will meet at my hands is a death of sorts. So death by diva.

K: Ah, I get it. Anyway we got two more hours to go with Vespertine and when we come back from break, she’ll play a little on her bass for us and then she can teach me some wrestling moves. Cool?

V: Good deal.
