AB: At 3-2-1 Battle, you’ve done a tremendous job and are one of the mainstays. Would you like to talk about your time in working for the promotion?

KM: I've been with 3-2-1 BATLLE for a year now. I debuted with them on September 22nd, 2018. It has been one of the greatest things that I have ever done. 3-2-1 BATTLE is my home. I've had the honor to work 36 matches with them so far. Had the honor to ref a match for the Tag Titles and the Seattle Underground Wrestling Championship. I've even got my moniker from there, which started brewing up at the 2018 BattleRumble. All the refs had to have some type of drink. Chris Samuels and Jimmy Jameson had their beers, Aubrey Edwards had wine, and then they all looked at me, realizing that I didn't have a drink. Aubrey pulls out a flashlight and cards me, I hand her my ID, and she says "Nope! She's not 21, she's not 21!" and right after that, Chris Samuels hands me a juice box, the crowd loved it and started chanting "Juice Box". I've kept it ever since.

AB: What is it like taking a bump as a referee and having to sell it? Has there been any bump that has been a bit more serious than others?

KM: I just go with the flow, it's always in the moment. The one I had at BattleMania was one that really concerned a lot of people, to the point to where I couldn't finish the match. Eddie Van Glam vs Pitfall Jones for the 3-2-1 Battle Medallion, Eddie had a Solid Steel Trouser Snake and used it on Pitfall, who is absolutely horrified of snakes. Pitfall got over to the ropes and I was telling Van Glam to let go, by the time I got to three, he let go and from that moment, that was the only thing I remembered.

AB: As a referee, a big part of your job is to make sure you avoid accidentally colliding with the wrestlers. How difficult is it in the heat of the moment?

KM: It's never difficult in the heat of the moment. I just know where I am and where the placement is.

AB: WWE is expanding and have made great strides in recent years. Is going to WWE a dream that you have?

KM: I feel like eventually, I'll get there, it's just not at the agenda at this moment. If the opportunity comes along, then I'll definitely take that chance.

To Kendall Marie, her fans mean a big deal. In the above picture, she is pictured with Shay (right). Kendall said that it was because of fans like her, that she has been doing what she has been doing.

KM: She’s the first one fan that I had who had really made me realize this is why I’m doing this, kids like her and Jamisen are looking up to me. I’m willing to be a role model for them.

AB: Finally, do you have a message for your fans? Also where can readers find you on social media?

KM: For my fans, I'll see you all around soon. It won't be for long that I'll be out. I'm going to be coming back stronger than I ever have. Once I do, I'll be happy to make some rounds back and to completing more of my goals, and then some. There is going to be a lot of change coming up in the next few months heading into 2020 — some won't even know what is coming.
