Quote
"It kind of started off as a bet, a joking bet like, “Hey, are you actually going to do this?” Once I got the team started, I realized I had to be on the team and I was like, “Great.” So yes, I ended up doing it, but I’ve got to tell you, it gave me a really good background to learn stunts, fighting and all the stunts that I have to do as Jessi."—Jaimie Alexander, on wrestling in high schoolSlice of SciFi: Interviw with Kyle XY Actress Jamie Alexander (January 17, 2008)
