Many talents pursue other fields in the entertainment industry after making a name for themselves in professional wrestling. There are very few who have seen immense success in the entertainment industry and later tested their luck in the professional wrestling industry. One such talent is the lead singer of the Goldy Locks Band, Goldy Locks. She recently reflected on her time in TNA Wrestling.
While speaking to WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard, Goldy Locks shared that being a singer had paved the way for her run in TNA Wrestling. She said the company was looking for a fresh face that didn’t necessarily need wrestling experience, so she auditioned for the role.
“And, I just kept trying, trying, trying. I thought I got it on my own merit. But I think I got it because I think my lawyer just threatened Jeff Jarrett and said, Jerry and Jeff and said, ‘You are putting her on or…’ It’s this or that. I’m pretty sure. It’s whatever. I got the job. It was a chance of a lifetime. It was an opportunity of a lifetime,” Goldy Locks said. “Of course, I was really young and I didn’t understand just how good I had it. What a blessing it was. Now I know in hindsight I’m like, ‘Urghh. You really had it good.’ But we had some really great times.”
Goldy Locks reflects on her run in TNA
Goldy Locks says TNA was “one of the greatest things to have ever happened” in her life, and she’s thankful to work with so many great people. In addition to her on-air role, she helped create many entrance themes for the roster.
When asked what her favorite contribution was, she named Trinity’s “Dodging Bullets” theme song. Goldy Locks shared the inspiration for the song, noting it came as a result of being sexually harassed by someone who worked for Panda Energy, then the parent company of TNA.
“Yes. First off, Trinity’s entrance music was called ‘Dodging Bullets.’ It’s because of all of the people — I was being massively, sexually harassed. Not by the boys, nobody in wrestling. It’s in Jerry Jarrett’s book. And he’s passed and so it’s water under the bridge now,” she clarified. “But, there was somebody at Panda [Energy], that was writing the checks that was really, really abusing me pretty badly. It was just — I was always trying to hide from him because I didn’t want him to see me and this was just… the name of the song is called ‘Dodging Bullets.’
“And if you listen to it, oh my God, the words are, you couldn’t even get away with how graphic they are,” she continued. “They are really, really graphic. It was a gun compared to something that can shoot stuff and wow, it was her entrance music. She was a really good friend of mine.”
Thrown to the wolves
Goldy Locks noted how all of her songs held special meaning, highlighting the attachment and importance of each one. As far as her favorite angles and people, Goldy cited working with Erik Watts and Elix Skipper, as well as Trevor Murdoch, who was known as “Stan Dupp” of The Dupps stable back then.
“These guys are solid human beings. The Dupps, Trevor Murdoch, [is] still a dear friend to this day,” she explained. “The Dupps stuff was hysterical. Go back on that, it was kind of real. It was a shoot. People don’t understand like, ‘All her expressions…’ A lot of it was real. And they were too busy to give me any kind of guidance or teach me anything. It was like, throw me to the wolves, go out there and do it. So, those angles were great. I loved it when Scott Hudson stepped in.
“And he would interview me. And I would do this [sarcastic laugh]. It was really funny sh*t. It was really good. All the stuff with the Sex Locker Room, just being disgusted with everybody. Even Glenn Gilbertti, always disgusted with him. Sonny Siaki. There’s some really good stuff in there,” she added. “And I go back and it’s not like wrestling is today. And I see now why it’s not. They were following following. It wasn’t just a promo statically shot. The audience was included in and they were involved with everything. They got to see stuff unfolding live. They was no script on a lot of that stuff. It was the wild, wild west.”
