TNA Knockout Brooke Tessmacher, real name Brooke Adams, talked to Scott Fishman of The Miami Herald.
In her interview, she discusses her time in “The Amazing Race,” as well as what she wants to do when she returns to TNA. Below are some of the highlights and the full interview can be read here.
On her mentality in The Amazing Race:
“You have to imagine being Rob or myself in our shoes,” Adams said. “That’s why I tend to seem frustrated a lot of the time. You have no idea what it’s like showing up at the bottom and not knowing what is going on. You never know what is ahead of you.”
On what it is like day to day on the show:
“Everything is complete chaos. It’s hot. You aren’t used to the food. You aren’t getting adequate sleep. Everything just goes out the window. You can try to mentally prepare yourself, but it’s impossible. It just doesn’t happen. These challenges may not seem difficult, but you aren’t seeing the challenge completely and seeing how hard it can be. You’re missing tiny little details. You’re rushed. You’re hot. You’re racing for a million dollars….”
On when she will return to TNA:
“I hope in January to be on the U.K. tour,” she said. “I’m looking forward to working with Jessicka Havok. I would love to see what I can do in the ring against her. She is quite scary, obviously. I think I have mental prep from Gail Kim and Lisa. I also would love to have a few matches with Taryn Terrell. She is doing great and a good friend of mine, but I would love to see how we would do in the ring together. I think we could put on something amazing together.”
What is left for her in TNA:
“I have been gone this past year and can’t wait to prove myself again. It was something that I wanted to be was [a wrestler]. I wanted a chance to prove myself. I think I’ve done that very well. Every time I wake up I think, ‘Wow, I’m a two-time champion. I did that. I know if I wanted to do it again, I could.’ It’s a dream come true.”
