Gabby Forza joins TNA Wrestling and wants to take on the men

Gabby Forza officially signed with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) last week, becoming the latest woman to join the company’s Knockouts Division.

Forza said in an interview with OutKick she wanted to sign with TNA because it’s one of the few major promotions that allow intergender wrestling (woman vs. man).

She said being able to go up against men is one of the things she prides her pro wrestling abilities on.

COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON OUTKICK "For me, I wanted to join TNA really badly because I just felt like I could see myself there in general, but I was so excited to join TNA because there are so many women there that I want to work with so badly and I love that they do have intergender wrestling there as an option because from the moment I joined wrestling, I always wanted to wrestle men," she said.

"That is kind of what I've made my schtick based off of, where I'm fighting men a lot on the independent wrestling scene.

It's like I would say like one of my greatest strengths.

"So, if I ever get to do that at TNA, it would be like a dream for me.

But mostly joining the women's division and becoming a TNA knockout was like my dream.

So, I'm super excited." When OutKick asked the first man she wanted to square off with, Forza named Ricky Sosa .

Those who haven’t seen Forza perform on the independent scene are in for a treat.

She is a former women’s tackle football player and was a powerlifter for a period of time.

Though Forza is a kind person outside the ring, she’s trained her hardest to put down anyone who steps to her.

"Well, my wrestling persona is very much who I am," she said.

"So, just a very bubbly person, very positive.
