In case you missed the first part of our interview with Nita Strauss, you can read it here. A huge wrestling fan, Strauss performed Nakamura's theme at WrestleMania 34, with the whole world watching.
Here is the rest of our interview with the Guitar Goddess. Let us know what you thought of her performance in the comments below...
So, whom did you have the most fun meeting at WrestleMania 34?
Strauss: You know what is crazy is that we were in my dressing room and I got a text saying that The Big Show wants to meet you. I said okay, I'll come there right now. And we were in the catering area where all the wrestlers were eating.

The Big Show stood up and said in a loud voice- 'Oh my God! I wanted to meet you for so long'. And he put me over in front of all the other wrestlers. It was cool to see somebody who I've watched on TV for so long be so excited to see me.
So, do you hope to be associated with WWE in the future as well?
Strauss: Oh, they can't keep me away now (laughs).
You were at TakeOver as well. What was your favorite match of WrestleMania weekend?
Strauss: It's a long answer so bear with me (laughs). Honestly, I thought Triple H & Stephanie vs. Ronda & Kurt Angle...that for me, was the match of the weekend. The way that they set it up. The build-up to actually seeing Ronda wrestling and the way that the fans reacted to her, it was incredible.
That being said, the ladder match absolutely blew my mind. It was my first time going to see NXT and the whole card of NXT from beginning to end was so strong. But that ladder match absolutely blew my mind. I love Ricochet. It was cool to see EC3. Adam Cole is just so amazing.
Let's hope we can see an association between you and WWE for an extended period of time.
Strauss: Thank you. You know being associated with WWE is really a dream come true. Especially because I've heard all my life how amazingly WWE treats people they work with. To experience that myself...everybody from the riggers to the carpenters to the music team...all the way to Vince McMahon, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.
Everybody treated us so well. And it was definitely a joy to work with them. So, I definitely hope to do that again.
What was your meeting with Vince McMahon like?
Strauss: (Laughs) It was amazing. So, I met Vince, we were on the stage and we were rehearsing for Shinsuke's entrance. We did the entrance once and Vince came out and said (puts on a Vince McMahon voice)- 'Great job! Great job! Absolutely fabulous!'
(Laughs) He gave me some suggestions that I really appreciated. I wanted to do exactly what he envisioned in his mind. It was cool to hear suggestions and notes from the man himself. Very, very cool experience.
And afterward at WrestleMania when I came back to Gorilla position, he gave me a big hug even though I was sweaty. And he said (Vince McMahon voice returns)- 'Great job! Great job! So much charisma!' and that was the biggest compliment of all.
Tell us about the solo album you're doing and the Kickstarter campaign that you're planning as well.
Strauss: So I've been touring since the age of fifteen. I've played with so many bands, artists, musicians. But I really didn't get the chance to express my own music. The Kickstarter is for my solo record which will just be me playing the guitar. Making music that I feel from the heart.
I'm so excited to get started on it. There are a lot of cool perks that people can buy. You can get a Skype call with me, take a guitar lesson on Skype or ask any questions that you want. You can pre-order the record on CD and on vinyl. Just a lot of cool, different things that we can do for the fans. So it's very very exciting. All the information is on my social media accounts.
