Amy Weber, who longtime fans may remember as JBL’s personal assistant during his long world title reign on SmackDown, has decided that the time is right to “set the record straight” about her time in the company and her sudden departure. In an address to her fans, Amy went over everything from the Diva Search to her departure, as well as her rivalry with WWE’s original Carmella.
Amy stated that she sees herself as a bit of a “vigilante“, so she had to retaliate when Carmella DeCesare was the only Diva Search contestant who was causing trouble in the locker room. When Vince called her back after the competition, she said that he was looking for the “Heather Locklear” of the WWE, someone who was comfortable in front of a camera and on the microphone.
Amy then finally describes why she left WWE in 2005. On an overseas tour, Amy took a bump on her tailbone, and the trainer told her to use an Ibuprofen. She took it from the men’s locker room, which was apparently against the backstage code. When she was on the airplane back home fast asleep, she was awoken twice. First by Randy Orton tackling the back of her chair and knocking her to the ground as he cursed her out. After that, she woke up again thanks to Edge pouring a drink in her face. By the time they landed in Alaska, Amy was done with the company.
“When I was on the plane on the way back to Alaska, we had more matches there and more TV to tape. I was laying across three seats. We were all sleeping—I’m going to ahead and call people out because this is a truthful video. Randy Orton decided to come up behind my chair and he slammed into it like a linebacker so hard that I landed on the floor of the airplane and then he said, ‘you’re gonna learn b*tch.’ I didn’t understand what he was talking about. So I turned around and went back to sleep.”
“I was awoken by someone pouring a drink in my face. So immediately I popped up, I looked up and I saw Edge—yes you, Edge—with a partially drank drink in his hand. It was the same color that was basically all over me. So I stood up on the airplane seat, and I was eye-to-eye with him and I said, ‘do you have a problem with me?’ and he goes, ‘what are you talking about?’ Of course, he denied it but the drink was in his hand. I said, ‘come on you want to fight me? let’s go you want to be a man, go ahead let’s go, fight me. You wanna pour a drink on me?’ And he kept denying it, but I know he did it. I saw the cup in his hand.”
“So listen, at the end of the day, did I deserve it because I took two ibuprofen that the trainer told me to take and some ice from the guy’s locker room? I don’t think so. Just as a human being, just as a decent human being, you just don’t do that to people. I didn’t think I was better than anybody else but I did feel like I was deserving of respect because that’s what I gave to every other wrestler in that entire company. When I got to Alaska, Shane McMahon was there, we were all getting our bags and I was done. I just felt like I couldn’t continue to be in an environment where people really had no respect for me.”
Weber said that she ended up booking a flight home and that served as the end of her run with the company.
