Exclusive Interview
In August 2001, I had the chance to get some questions answered by the lovely Tammy Sytch who has appeared in every major wrestling federation and has had a great career.
Q How did you get into the wrestling business
I met Chris Candido in high school, traveled on the road with him, and then Jim Cornette offered me a job.
Q What are the high and low points of being in the wrestling business
The high points are the big contracts and the notoriety, the low points are the rumors and being bad mouthed when it is not deserved.
Q Do you have any regrets about getting into the wrestling business
The only regret is quitting medical school. I was going to be a plastic or orthopedic surgeon.
Q You have been apart of the main federations being WWF, WCW and ECW, which did you enjoy working for the most
Probably the WWF, they treated me the best and paid the best.
Q Do you have any regrets when it comes to the way you left the WWF
I think we could have come to a better agreement, there were a lot of people with a lot worse problems, and also my contract was up anyway.
Q What are your thoughts about the way you were treated in WCW last year
I think Eric Bischoff is an ass, and I was falsely accused of something that a lot of girls were more apt to be doing, to put it plainly a drug that fitness girls were using. I offered to take a drug test immediately and I did AND I WAS CLEAN!!!

Q How were the other women of certain federations to work with
