Having the opportunity for Spice to reunite with Tygress and Fyre for a Nitro Girls reunion next weekend in Charlotte for the 2010 NWA Legends Fanfest: "I am lucky to say that I have stayed in very close contact with the girls over the years. We all live relatively close so we make sure that a couple of times a year, we get together, and we are pretty close parts of each others lives. I'm even more excited to see the fans, because I had the opportunity back in November to do a show up in New Jersey, and some of our most loyal fans that used to come to every show in the Northeast came to that event. When you're out of it for a minute, you forget the dedication that was there every week, week after week. I'm looking forward to some more of that again next weekend...it's gonna be great."

What she liked and/or disliked about the direction of the Nitro Girls and the transition of being just dancers to in-ring performers and valets: "I think it was a shame because it was such a popular concept. I think it was an element that's really been missed. We still hear it from the fans all the time on Facebook. People reach out to us all the time and say 'Man, we really missed the Nitro Girls.' When the group was created, Eric Bischoff was saying that valets were a thing of the past and that they wanted to move things in the right direction. I always remember that opening night. The response was tremendous, and it continues 13 years later. On one hand, I think it was just wrestling on a whole was remise to not continue with that concept in some form or fashion, because the fans really enjoyed it. Then at the end of the day, everything changes. I think they could have still differentiated themselves, but I think the problem WCW made is that they tried to be like the competition. When they tried to play the same game as WWE, they couldn't hang, because Turner was a whole different media outlet, and we had a lot of restrictions."

The likelihood of a complete Nitro Girls reunion at WrestleMania XXVII in Atlanta (the home of WCW) and whether or not she could actually see that taking place: "It would make phenomenal sense. A lot of are still pretty accessible to the area. We would all be completely open to it. Two years ago, we did a reunion for Jimmy Hart down in Orlando. Five of us got together, did a choreographed routine in the ring, and the fans loved it, and it was a ton of fun. So if there is interest from the fans, I think it would be great.
