| Layin Low With The Lovely Lita By Robert J. Blendsoe. According to Lita, what she does in the ring should come as a surprise simply because she's a woman. As the fiery red-head has proved, high-flying, acrobatic moves are no longer for men only. While acknowledging the important strides Chyna has made for women in sports entertainment by competing against men, Lita is quick to tell WWF magazine that she's quite comfortable competing in the women's ranks. In this month's Superstar interview, Lita speaks about the other women in the Federation, her relationship with Matt and Jeff Hardy, and gives readers the scoop on her private life. WWF Magazine: Are you surprised fans like you so much? Lita: I'm really surprised by it. I see myself as somebody fans can relate to. WWF Magazine: What do you think of the "Lita Loyalists"? Lita: I'm fighting in honor of and for them -- a voice for the fans. I'm one (of the fans), just trying to be the normal person who kind of hands out with the Superstars, making a mark for us normal, everyday people. WWF Magazine: Is life outside the ring as fast as it is inside it for you? Lita: Definitely. In my spare time, I like doing things like jet skiing, skiing, cars, boats, and roller coasters. WWF Magazine: Is there anything you wouldn't try? Lita: I like to try anything once and decide from there. You can also learn from other people's mistakes. If you see it didn't work, then maybe you shouldn't do it, like if I saw something that affected someone else negatively. WWF Magazine: How'd you come up with your style, both inside and outside the ring? Lita: They're both very similar. I like baggy pants; they're comfortable. I wear my kneepads under them so I don't bash them apart. WWF Magazine: If your hair could be another color, what would it be? Lita: Hot pink WWF Magazine: What languages do you speak? Lita: English and Spanish. WWF Magazine: What's your next tattoo going to be? Lita: I'm done with those. But, if I wasn't it would be "Cody" -- my dog's name. WWF Magazine: What kind of dog do you have? Lita: A red Doberman. WWF Magazine: What would you have done if you hadn't gotten into sports-entertainment? Lita: I'd have been in a rock n' roll band. WWF Magazine: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Lita: I wanted to be a professional sports player or a teacher. WWF Magazine: Were you a tomboy growing up? Lita: A hundred percent. WWF Magazine: Do you lift weights? Lita: I do. But, I also do a lot of cardiovascular work. WWF Magazine: Are you so sore after some matches that you don't want to go out the next night? Lita: No, I still want to go out. WWF Magazine: What's been your biggest challenge so far in the Federation? Lita: Getting out there and doing it, and trying to do better each time. WWF Magazine: What's your greatest fear? Lita: Failure WWF Magazine: What does if feel like when you're putting the hurricanrana on some other Federation Superstars? Lita: The hurricanrana is great because it's always a move that I do when I'm sneaking up behind one of the guys. So, that feels really cool because it's usually a type of rescuing move. WWF Magazine: How did it feel to beat Stephanie for the WWF Women's Championship? Lita: I can't really explain it...I've never felt like that before. I'm glad it was me, and I'm glad someone finally got their hands on her. She got what she deserved. WWF Magazine: Would you rather face men or women? Lita: I'd rather face women one on one. I like to be able to add to the matches with the guys. As far as one on one, I don't think I'm ready to go in there with the guys. WWF Magazine: Would you like to take on Chyna? Lita: I don't think I'm ready for that either. But, I'd like to think someday I would be. Actually, I'd rather be on her team. WWF Magazine: Do you see yourself as a pioneer for young women? Lita: Yes, definitely. I love the opportunity I've been given to let my true character show and really be able to break the mold of how women have been viewed and the role women have had until me. WWF Magazine: Are other women in the Federation threatened by you? Lita: I'd say more taken by surprise than threatened. WWF Magazine: Is Lita looking for love? Lita: I'm opened to it. I don't really have that much time to think about it right now with all the stuff going on in the Federation. But, if it fell in front of me, I wouldn't push it away. WWF Magazine: What would your ideal mate be? Lita: Number one, he has to be easy-going and totally versatile. Definitely strong -- we can both keep each other in check. WWF Magazine: Are you the envy of your female fans because of Matt and Jeff? Lita: Absolutely. I get that all the time. WWF Magazine: Why do you think you fit better with the Hardyz than Essa Rios? Lita: We're ike a little clique. We get along on every level. We constantly think about new ways we can go about attacking. Now that we have the Women's title, we can try to work on the tag team scene as well. WWF Magazine: Which of the brothers do you find more sexy? Matt or Jeff? Lita: I think they're both unique. In a lot of ways they're complete opposites, but the compliment eachother very well I think they make a good package, so I can't pick one. WWF Magazine: If you were to split with the Hardyz, do you see yourself still keeping in contact with them? Lita: As long as they don't do anything too damaging to me, I'd like to think that they'd be a part of my career. Favorites: WWF Magazine asdked Lita to name some of her favorite things... WWFMagazine: Type of music? Lita: Mostly I listen to alternative rock. But, I love dance music and hip-hop, especially when I'm workng out. It's motivational. |
