Madison Eagles’ impact on Australian wrestling:
“She is – like, when I say the G.O.A.T, I mean, the G.O.A.T. Without her, there would be no scene. She was the first one to go and stay in America for an extended period of time, and opened the door to SHIMMER for all of us. She is the best wrestler that I’ve ever been in the ring with, and ever watched. At training, we get to learn from her, and just the way she explains things, and does things, I’m just like ‘we are so fucking lucky that she wants to be a part of [this]’. She has never got the flowers that she deserved. If she started 5, 10 years later, she’d be main-eventing WrestleMania. She was just at this time where she had to deal with so much shit, and she pushed through all of that. The culture that she’s cultivated at PWA, especially with equality and training exactly the same as everyone else, I think it’s fucking incredible. I can’t say enough good things about her.”
How Meiko Satomura changed her career:
“I met Meiko when I first moved to Japan. She came and did a King of Trios that was actually in the UK. [So], when I first moved to England, sorry. She was the one that invited me out to Sendai Girls. Japan was always a massive goal for me. To have Meiko Satomura be like ‘oh, would you like to….’ ‘Uhh, yes. I would. I would love that.’ She was so good to Millie and I when we first went to Sendai, and gave us all these opportunities. I really credit her so much, because I feel around that time, the 2019 time, was when I kind of was starting to figure it out, and be like ‘okay, this is who I want to be as a wrestler.’ I attribute a lot of that to Sendai girls and Meiko.”
