Defending it. You know, I went to a school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with doctors and dentists and lawyers. My dad was a promoter of professional wrestling, which was very different and odd for a lot of them. But, you know, it was a way of life to me. I knew nothing different. And so when I would bring some of my friends over there, you know, to go see a show, they were scared and terrified to death. But I would also go into a classroom, and I would see &#8216;it&#8217;s fake&#8217; on the chalkboard. Well, I knew who that was for. And then you got a first name Mike. So there&#8217;s an era there that I went through, junior high and high school that I went by my middle name, which is Kathleen, but it has always been Michael. It was given to me. My dad&#8217;s middle name was Michael, not Michelle. Everybody goes, are you sure? Yeah, I&#8217;ve had this name all my life. So, and I think that was another thing that it gave me a strong presence. Sure wasn&#8217;t gonna make me shy. Thank you, dad, but also too, when this thing first started out and Gorilla [Monsoon] would say, we&#8217;re gonna go to our ring announcer, Mike McGuirk, and they&#8217;d be like, who? Where? Where is he? The name helped and, and then, just being around it, because I think anybody that had not known this business, and then you&#8217;re thrust upon it, it can be quite intimidating.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Finding her voice:<\/b> &#8220;I guess I was just born that way. I did have some broadcasting, but I think the voice came from wanting to be heard. So yeah, it was never, you know, I did a little bit of radio, but it was all afterwards. And where it came from was just, obviously it was from the heart and the soul and, a lot of it when I was growing up is, I could not understand the announcer, and I wanted to, I wanted to be perfection as far as, because those guys get in the ring and, you know, it&#8217;s, you&#8217;re part of the show. You&#8217;re not the show, but you&#8217;re enhancing it. So that was where it came from. And, and by God, I want him to, to hear me. Give me a mic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Whether her father Leroy McGuirk wanted her to get involved in pro wrestling:<\/b> &#8220;My father was blind. My father never saw me. He wrestled professionally with one eye and then, uh, a car accident. He was also a world&#8217;s junior heavyweight champion. He was also a two-time national champion in amateur wrestling. Never intended to go into this business. He was a journalism major. He was at the shows. And some of the best times that I got when we would be in Tulsa, WWF, was I would always bring daddy there so he could go to the back and talk to the guys. And so I, to introduce my father, was, you know, it, it was, I was a proud, proud daughter because I, when I was born, obviously, he thought I was supposed to be a boy and didn&#8217;t turn out to be the boy wrestler. So I turned out to be a lady ring announcer. And then to pay homage to my daddy. So, which I admire to this day. Yeah, always will.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Was it tough being a woman in pro wrestling during that time period:<\/b> &#8220;We didn&#8217;t have the word diva. Thank God there was Sherri [Martel]. So we would find the nearest broom closet or anything that we could to get dressed in. And you didn&#8217;t wanna make waves, you know, we wanted to be a part of it and we didn&#8217;t, there was nothing, like demands or anything like that. We just wanted to be a part of the show and, especially because we knew who was running it. It was a men&#8217;s and, I would much rather, even to this day, work for men because it&#8217;s, they cut right to the chase, this is what we want. There&#8217;s no, you know, no squabbling, anything like that. And we didn&#8217;t have that. There was only Liz [Miss Elizabeth], me, and Sherri, and then for the longest time, and then Luna [Vachon] came along, but we still, it was still, you know, we were not, and nothing about Women&#8217;s Lib or anything like that. We weren&#8217;t trying to prove any point like that. It was just trying to be a part of a business. I wasn&#8217;t trying to turn things upside down, but I was trying to let them know I can be in a man&#8217;s suit, and still get the job done effectively. And that was where I was coming from.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&gt;<i>Other topics include breaking into the business, her dad Leroy McGuirk, WWF, Hulk Hogan, Vince McMahon, what she is up to today, and so
