TNA Knockout SoCal Val spoke with Stephen Sonneveld of Bleacher Report about her history and duties as a producer with the company. You can read the full report at http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1604869-tna-news-exclusive-interview-with-socal-val-on-producing-tv-respecting-fans. Among the highlights:

What her duties as producer are: "I started producing backstage about a year or two ago, and it pretty much just entails me helping talent go through different lines that we need for television shows and commercials. A lot of it is international, like we just did some liners today for Germany, and it's basically just a wrestler coming in and saying, “I'm such-and-such,” saying hello to all of our fans in Germany. So, it's basically just me running a prompter and knowing the scripts, and just kind of directing the talent, which is really, really cool. If I'm not on camera, I'm usually behind the camera helping them."

If she is happy with her current role in TNA: "Honestly, I'm really, really happy with what I'm doing. A lot of times at the live events, I'm the emcee and ring announcer for the entire event, and really the only one on the mic. Our merchandise guy does help with intermission and things like that, but as far as being the emcee for the whole show, I get to do that. So, in addition to live events, and now doing this hosting backstage and being the anchor for a lot of the commercials, especially with a lot of them being international, that's exciting. I'm really happy with where I am, I have to say."
