Model and aspiring wrestler Gabi Castrovinci, who was voted off of the latest episode of the WWE Tough Enough reality series, recently participated in an interview with Brian Fritz of Sporting News.
Gabi talks about her experience on the show, reflecting on her initial comments after the vote, why she clashed with castmembers, her future wrestling aspirations, and more. You can read a few excerpts below:
Gabi Castrovinci Talks Tough Enough, Her Comments About Not Being Upset About Her Elimination:
Well, I said that in the heat of the moment. I slept through the night and then this morning I do regret saying that. I don’t want to bash or trash Tough Enough. Once again, it was a hell of an experience. I’m very sad to leave. It’s the end of Tough Enough for me but the beginning of a new journey which is to become a WWE Diva.
Why does she think she clashed with fellow contestant Amanda or others:
I do have a strong personality and I do speak my mind. If something is bothering me, I’ll go for it. But it’s not only about personalities, it’s about other things obviously. Manners. People said I wasn’t classy at all and that’s one of the things that bothered me about Amanda the most. She was this pretty little Barbie doll, a very good looking girl who did not clean up after herself. So behind the scenes that was one of the biggest issues I had with her.
Does Gabi think she would have quit the show if she remained on?
First of all, I’m not a quitter. What I said last night came out in the spur of the moment. Some people cry and I just open my mouth and I don’t think before I speak. I’m not a quitter. I’m going to prove to you that I’m not a quitter because I’m coming back.
What is the next step for Gabi to get back into her wrestling career?
Get some immediate in-ring training so I can apply for a tryout, the next Diva Search. There’s so many ways to come back. I’m keeping in touch with WWE and, as I said in my last email this morning to them, I’m going to be emailing you guys until you bring me back because I have what it takes.
