WCWA
Kokomo, IN


It was a 2 hours and 30 minutes drive from my house to Kokomo, IN, but the drive was so worth it because Nora was such a sweetie! We left my house around 12:30 p.m. and got there around 3:10 p.m. The doors opened at 3 for only VIP people. We had VIP tickets so we were able to get in. The people who didn’t have VIP tickets weren’t allowed to go in until 5.

The first thing I did when I got in was to look for Nora, lol. When I saw her signing some stuff for people, we decided to go and get our seats first. We got perfect seats… 2nd row from the ring.

Anyways, we went to the line to meet Nora. There were other wrestlers there, but I wanted to meet Nora first, lol. While waiting in the line, Nora went around the table to take a picture with people. When she saw me, she smiled and was like, ‘Hey!’ We waved at each other.

When it was my turn to go up to her, she gave me a hug. She hugged my mom and sister as well. She asked how we were doing. I asked her that too and she said she was good. I had a present for her, so I gave her the gift bag. She seemed surprised and was like, ‘For me?’ I nodded and she said, ‘Aw thank you.’

I made her a book full of banners of her memories. She asked if she could take a look at it and I was like, ‘Of course.’ I was surprised though because I didn’t think she would look at it there because there were people waiting in the line, but she took time to look at it. I thought it was super nice of her. She loved the book. In the end of the book, I included some photos of her and me when we first met a couple of months ago. When she saw that photo of her putting me in an airplane spin, she laughed and said that she had to show it to Shark Boy who was sitting next to her. So she went over to him and showed him the photo, he thought it was hilarious. She came back to us and gave me another hug and said that she loved the book.

She was like, ‘Well, I have something for you too!’ and pulled out a wedding t-shirt she wore last week when she traveled with Ivory! I was so excited. She said that she washed it though so it was all wrinkled and it shrunk a little, lol, but I don’t mind at all. I thanked her and asked if she would sign it. She happily did. After that, we took a picture together. We told that we’d go to let her meet other people and that we would see her later.

After meeting some people, we went back outside to get some stuff I forgot to bring with me earlier from the car. After going back inside, I wanted to see Nora again so she would sign some of my stuff. She was glad to do so. She was also selling some stuff, so I bought some stuff she had. She signed all of them and I asked her if she would sign one for Dani. She was like, ‘Dani? Sure, of course!’ I thanked her and she was like, ‘No problem!’

Since we had VIP tickets, we were allowed to take a picture with a superstar of our choice for free. I, of course, chose Nora, lol. My mom and sister chose her too. I asked her if we could do a headlock and she was like, ‘Sure!’ Nora told me to get down a little though because she said that I was so tall! Lol. So we took one together. Then my mom and sister took a picture with her. The photographer said that we would get the pictures after the show.

After walking around, the show was getting ready to get started, so we went back to our seats. After a few matches, there was a guy named Jonny Fairplay (he was a member on Survivor) came out and started saying stuff like that women would never be able to beat him. Nora, of course, came out and said that she would. When Jonny turned around to laugh, Nora kicked him from behind, haha. It was hilarious. She pinned him and won! I was so excited that I went to the front row, so she would see me. I gave her thumbs up and she smiled and signed thank you!

When she went back to the backstage, it was time for break. So we went to the table Nora was at and I told her that she rules in the ring. She laughed and thanked me. I asked her if I could take another picture with her. She was like, ‘Sure! We should because I’m wearing a different outfit’, lol. So we took one together. Nichol (my sister) asked her if she got the free pictures yet. She said that she didn’t, so we should come back to her in around 5 minutes. My sister and mom needed to go to the bathroom, so when we left, she was like, ‘Before you guys leave, you need to let me know! Because I want to say bye to you guys.’ I thought it was so sweet, lol.

After the bathroom, we were ready to leave because of a long drive back home. So we went back to Nora to get the pictures. It was funny because she held the pictures together. She looked at my mom and was like, ‘Here is your picture. It’s really nice,’ and gave her the picture. Then she looked at my sister and was like, ‘The picture is really good,’ and gave her the picture.

And then she looked at me and pointed at me, ‘Your picture is FUNNY!’ I laughed. I didn’t know why, but when she gave me the picture, I understood why she said that. I look terrible! Lol I wasn’t ready when the photo was taken. I like it though. She signed all of our pictures.

It was really neat because when Nora was about to sign my mom’s picture, she forgot what her name was. My mom was talking to the guy behind us, so Nora looked at me and was like, ‘Is her name...’ and then she started to fingerspell! I thought it was really neat. She fingerspelled, ‘K… A… R… E… N?’ I was like nope and then started to fingerspell her name. ‘K… A… T…’ When I did, Nora started to follow me to make sure she got it. She spelled it, ‘K… A… R…’ I was like, ‘Nope… T.’ She was like, ‘Ok… K… A… T…Kathy?!” I was like, ‘Yep!’ It was really neat.

My mom asked her if we could take a picture all together, and Nora was like, ‘Of course!’ She had this Women’s Championship title so she let me hold it for the picture. She said that she wanted me to, so I did, lol.

My mom told her that we were ready to leave. Nora said ok and gave us hugs. I thanked her for everything and she said, ‘No problem!’ We waved good-byes and she told us to drive safe.

Nora is one of the SWEETEST people EVER. If you haven’t met her, you definitely should!
