-Thank you for your time Mira for this interview and i hope you are healthy?
My pleasure. Yes i don’t have any problems with my health right now, and I hope it will stay like that. Fingers crossed.
-How did you get into the Wrestling business ?
In 2009 thanks to my cousins I saw my first wrestling show in TV. It was a WWE PPV, I don’t remember which one exactly. It turns out that they were a huge wrestling fans, and they were watching almost every show. They were staying at my house for 2 weeks, and we were watching matches, and looking for information about wrestlers and wrestling every day. One of those days, I said to myself ‘Hey, you can become a wrestler too. You should try.’. I've always loved to be in the spotlight, so I thought it was a great idea. I searched the Internet and I found the only wrestling school in my country. It was a 650 kilometers from my city, and i was still too young to start training, but I set it as my goal. To be well prepared I started to train judo and jiu-jitsu, I was still dancing and running about 10 km everyday. After 3 years I joined the DDW wrestling school, and now I am here.
-What is your family thinking of your passion for the sport, are they worried about your health?
My entire family loves sports and they were supporting me during my dancing career. I must say that they weren't very happy when I told them i want to stop doing it and become a pro wrestler. Especially my mom was very worried about my health, and she still is, but now she supports me in every possible way. I think that my dad is very proud of me, He always loved combat sports so he is happy to see me do it. I have two younger sisters too. One of them is 16 and she is considering joining us, and the youngest is 9 years old. She is training judo right now and she loves watching my matches. Both of them have already been into the ring. Right now my family supports me, and one of my biggest fans is probably my grandma :)
-What can you say about your Coach and how long did it take, that it was clear for you to do the first match?
What I can say about my coach for sure, is that he is really respected by all of his students. I think it’s really important in sports like that. Even though he isn't tall and everybody told him that he can’t make it in wrestling, he didn’t listen to them and did everything what he had to do to fulfill his dreams. It’s the same with me, I am quite a short person, and every time I told somebody that I want to be a wrestler they were laughing at me. I think I understand him pretty well in that case. He is the only man in my country with a lot of experience in wrestling other than than the wrestlers he trained, some for 5, 6 years. About my first match, it was quite an interesting scenario. There was supposed to be the first ever women’s match in Poland between Kasandra and Bianca. It was about three days before the show and Don told me that I'm going to be in the match. I was surprised, happy and a bit nervous at the same time. I had been training for a year before that, but it was my dream to participate in that match and I did it.
-Mira do you remember your first Pro Wrestling match and what was it like to wrestle in front of an live crowd for the first time?
As I said before, my first match was a big surprise for me. It was one of my to goals in life, and now I have a new one – I want to be women’s champion. About the crowd, it was probably the only thing in that match that wasn't scary for me at all. I always loved performing in front of a crowd. I was a dancer for many years and presenting my abilities in front of a lot of people was a daily routine for me. In fact this is probably the thing that I love the most in pro wrestling. In dancing people were looking at the whole crew, but now I am the centre of attention. It gives me a lot of confidence.
-Which wrestlers did impress you so much, that you wanted to step in the ring by yourself?
At the beginning I was only watching WWE. I was a huge fan of Rey Mysterio, because he was so small and he fought all those big guys, often winning. I think he was that person who made me want to be a wrestler. When it comes to girls I was a fan od Melina because of her flexibility, and Layla because of her dancing origins. Then I started to watch indy wrestling, and all of the old matches. I have to say that now, I don’t have a one person that I am following, but there are a lot of people that I see as very talented, and I wouldn't mind being as good as they are.
-You wrestle in the DDW (Do or Die Wrestling),what can you tell us about this Company?
It is like a second family for me. It is awesome when you can meet people who share your passion. And I am not just talking about wrestling. We have a lot other things in common. It’s the first time, that I met a group of people that stick together so much. Even though we are all from different cities and backgrounds we are always looking forward to meeting each other and spending time together, both in the ring and outside of it. Poeople who have been here longer than me in this company often offer their help to the rest of the group, and the beginners are very respectful towards us. And it doesn’t mean that we are treating them like we are better than them. We like to hang out with them, and they like to listen and learn from our wrestling experience.
-And where did you see yourself in 5 years from now?
I am only 20 so I there's a lot of things I want to do. I hope that I will still be a part of the wrestling world, and that our company will be much bigger than it is now. In my personal life, maybe I'll become a dancing trainer so I could have a workout every day and get some extra money. And of course I would spend that money on more trainings. Right now I am training wrestling, pole dancing and judo and that is expensive. What else can I say I am a sports addict so I am sure that when I'm 25 I will still be training. Maybe I'll get another dog as well :)
-Which country you would love to visit next and wrestle?
As a little girl I used to dream about travelling around the world. Unfortunately, I have only visited Germany, Czech Republic and Hungary for now, so I still have a lot of countries to visit. But I hope the next country will be a long way from here. The far the better. I love travel.
-When a booker or company will book you where can they contact you?
They can write to me via my fanpage of course. I am often checking my message box. They can contact me via email too: miraeg6@gmail.com Or they can write to Do or Die Wrestling, and I am sure they will forward it to me.
-Is there anything else you would like to let my readers know?
I can only thank them for their interest in my story. That’s always nice when people want to get to know you better (unless it's an interrogation at a police station ;) ). I love you guys! Hopefully you will hear more about me in future!
Thank you very much for your time and all the best!
Thanks a lot too. Kisses ;)
