Speaking on the Hitting The Turnbuckle Podcast, she said:

"The opportunity to wrestle there was incredible but me as person, I would go to these training camps for two weeks and I’d be a nervous wreck the whole time. I wouldn’t eat, I’d be so stressed. It wasn’t a very nice environment at the time. It was very cutthroat, not everyone was kind of friends to your face but then you never knew who was saying stuff behind your back as life is. But on the days of the shows, oh my God, I’d be so stressed out. There’s stressed and then there’s — I’d be dry heaving backstage. It was horrible and I thought, do you know what? I’m not confident enough in my own ability to keep putting myself through this yet. I wanted to travel more and I did have people like Pete I spoke to and said, ‘What should I do?’ And he said, ‘I’d go and travel. Travel for a bit. Get around, go to Japan, learn from Meiko and when you’re more comfortable, a little more settled, then come back because they’ll come asking again.’ Thankfully they did." [H/T: POST Wrestling]

McKenzie currently holds multiple championships across the Professional Wrestling world. We wish her the best in her recovery.
