A Harold interview:

Harold: Today I am joined by the phenom Sara Pettis, who has had a rollercoaster ride here in SFT. Thank you Sara for sitting down with me to do this.

Sara: My pleasure Harold, I've been looking forward to this for awhile.

Harold: As have I and our readers. Well my first question is, why did you come to SFT? It’s been no secret it’s been a hostile environment for you, and most would have just said enough is enough and left. But you not only thrived but succeeded and quieted allot of your detractors, me for one.

Sara: I came to SFT because SFT has always been like home to me. I knew I'd have to bear the burden of the Pettis name at first, but I knew that as long as I gave everything of myself, that I could prove to everyone that I'm not like my Uncle Mike, or my father. I actually liked the challenge it presented, and it feels great to have overcome that burden, and changed a few people's mindsets.

Harold: Ok well since you brought up your family, clear things up for those who have been on and off viewers, who is your biological parents and who do you think of as your true parents?

Sara: My biological parents were Becky Thompson, who everyone knew as Ice. And Andrew Mitchell Pettis, who everyone knew as AMP. But I was raised by my mother, and Step-father, Will Schorg, who everyone knows as Aj Nin Red Rum. When Mom passed away 8 years ago (time paradox, remember), Will pretty much raised me to who I am today. AMP, too me, was just some other guy who had better things to do apparently then care about what happened to me. So to answer your question, in my mind, AMP might have been my father, but Will has always been my Dad.

Harold: Well regardless you come from some hall of famers and what many consider to be those considered SFT's royal family. How old are you first of all? Also you have not only things to live down but things to live up to. So how do you handle it all? The pressure? The hate from some and the adoration of others?

Sara: I'm 18 years old. And I've only been wrestling for about six months. But as far as the pressure, and all that other stuff, I just try not to let it get to me. Sometimes I wonder if I don't push myself too much, and bring some of the pressure on myself, but when you come from the families I came from, being under a microscope I guess you could say is pretty normal. My whole life I've had these expectations, of being a great athlete simply based on genetics. So I guess it just doesn't really get to me anymore.

Harold: So in your six months give us your history, where you were trained, where you started, and what major titles you’ve held?

Sara: I was trained by my "Uncle", Nathan Gust, at the CCWA&ICE Training Facility in Brooklyn, New York, not far from Ozone Park, Queens, where I grew up. And while some people aren't going to like it, I got my first break in RWA. I won my first match there, and have held the RWA T.V., Hardcore, and currently hold one half of the RWA United Team Championship. Of course, I've had my most success here in SFT having won the World, and Tag Titles, by winning the Lethal Lottery.

Harold: Well I won’t delve too much into your RWA history, too much bad blood there. But let’s talk the SFT world title, you came in a virtual underdog and you came out world champion. How in the hell did you do it? Any real tactics you used? Did you game plan for any of your opponents, and who will be your new tag partner? Or at least give us a hint, if you don’t want spoil the possible secret.

Sara: Honestly, I went into ever match like I had nothing to lose...because really I didn't. And somehow, I don't know if was because of my team mate, or just dumb luck, I keep advancing till I got too the end. As for my new tag partner, I'll keep it a secret for now cause I don't know if he wants people to know or not. But I will say it's another young rising superstar I convinced to come over from the other side of the fence to try and make his mark in SFT.

Harold: ok well let me know first so I can at least put some good rumors out, LOL, any as far as the Lottery went it was ore like you gave it your all and you either won or you’d lose but knowing that you left it all in the ring. All or nothing, do or die, never leave anything for the next match since it could of been your last. Describe how that night felt as you held the SFT World title for the first time.

Sara: It felt like a burden had been lifted. I mean, I wasn't just doing it for me. I felt like I was doing it for my mom. She always wanted to win the SFT Title, but she gave up her best years to raise my brothers, step-sister, and me. It was like, me winning that title was her winning it too. And when I held it for the first time, in the ring, it didn't feel as heavy as it did from that point on.

Harold: Well let us know how you and Shadow. Some thought he wouldn't allow you to join SFT considering the history with him and Amp, and him and some RWA staffers. Was it at all strange or weird? Any type of feeling of walking on eggshells? Basically is there any tension between you two? How was it between you two? I can imagine him not being overly happy you of all people won, but then he came down to ringside in your last match and actually shocked people by talking to you to shake off the loss and a final whisper none of us heard.

Sara: I don't know about Shadow, but I personally don't have any tension with him. I mean, I know some people have done some things in the past, but I think, at least I hope, he's the kind of person that can see that doesn't hold what others have done, against me.

Sara: I don't know about Shadow, but I personally don't have any tension with him. I mean, I know some people have done some things in the past, but I think, at least I hope, he's the kind of person that can see that it isn't right to hold what others have done, against me.

Harold: Now you come from a great lineage, you've been around the business your whole life, and seen many great superstars. So which three people would you want to fight and why? Any three from the past or the present from any fed.

Sara: It's hard to narrow it down to three really. I would love to compete against a lot of guys from the past, that my Mom and Dad had the pleasure to go up against. Guys like Apocalypse, and Mad Dogg. So I guess if I had to name three right now, I'd have to say, Mad Dogg, Apocalypse, and.....I don't know...how about Sorik.

Harold: Ok those are some big names, lets change it up a bit who did you grow up liking? By that I mean whose work did you follow or enjoy?

Sara: I'm not sure how to limit this answer, I knew so many people as more then just their characters they played on T.V. But as far as their on-air personas....I loved Sorik, I always thought he was funny, and entertaining. But as for athleticism, and in ring skills, it'd probably be Dave Steel. Then of course I always looked up towards Pandora, and Rachel Pitt, and Mom. They were pretty much who I wanted to be like growing up.

Harold: Lets talk World Title, you went from the agonizing task of capturing it, and then 2 weeks later you lost it. And you kept a very modern trend of how its become the hardest title to keep. Why is that? Why do you feel the SFT World Title has become so hard to hang on to? Do you feel its just everyone is out gunning for the world champ? Or does complacency or whatever set in? What are your thoughts on this.

Sara: It really is hard to keep. In my case, I'd like to think it was fatigue had set in. I've been pushing my self so hard that when it got down the last few matches, it was the desire to get the title that was keeping me going. Once I got it, I lost that desire, and let my guard down I guess. But once you get it for the first time, I've been told it's not as hard to get another. I just needed to establish myself with the first.

Harold: Well after a week you’re back now for good, tell us what is your immediate short term goals and what are your long term goals? What can SFT expect out of Sara Pettis?

Sara: Hopefully another World Title reign, longer then the first one. It's kinda hard to say that I have long term goals. I've already accomplished what I set out to do, and everything that happens now is sort of a bonus to go along with everything else I've done so far.

Harold: Well Sara once again I want to thank you for sitting down to do this interview, we finally managed to get our schedules together and get this done.

Sara: Yea, it’s been tough to do with having my double work load, but I'm glad we finally did it, being interviewed by you lets me know I've made a mark on this company and business.
