How mean is Heather "The Virgin" ZumHofe? She likes to beat up little people.
"When you've had a tough day and things are getting you down, there's nothing like beating the hell out of a midget," ZumHofe says with an evil cackle. "I love beating them up. It's just the greatest feeling a girl can have, you know?"
A cocky, arrogant, loudmouth who brags that her mouth contains "a tongue of fire," ZumHofe delights in making wrestling fans hate her guts. Anyone who taunts her on the way to the ring is likely to be verbally demolished by the quick-witted beauty.
"I talk a lot, but that's only because there is so much to say about me," she says. "I mean, just look at me. I'm tall and sexy and thin and have the greatest body of any lady wrestler in the world. I have the most beautiful naturally curly hair in the world. I have the prettiest eyes in the world. I have the most perfect complexion in the world. This isn't vanity. It's just me telling you the truth."
ZumHofe has wrestling woven into her soul. She's the daughter of the internationally famous wrestling star ""Rock n' Roll" Buck ZumHofe, who was one of the biggest attractions for the Minnesota-based American Wrestling Assn. run by the great Verne Gagne. As a little girl, she would put on her father's wrestling boots, dreaming of the day when she would have a pair of her own.
"Wrestling is all that I have every known and all that I will ever be," says ZumHofe, who ditched a career as a kindergarten teacher so she could beat up other people for a living. "My father was my greatest inspiration. Every family vacation and every holiday was planned around a wrestling booking. Lineup and bookings were the main thing we talked about around the dinner table."
While she delights in beating up the little people who wrestle for her father's Rock 'n' Roll Wrestling federation, ZumHofe has faced plenty of opponents her own size. One of her biggest feuds has been with Amy Hennig, the daughter of the late "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig and granddaughter of Larry "The Axe" Hennig, and with the tough, powerful Ann Brookstone.
Since there are no little people wrestling for Magnificent Ladies Wrestling, ZumHofe will have to satisfy her violent urges against opponents more her own size. She's already battled a few Magnificent Ladies Wrestling stars including champion Veronica Fairchild.
"That dumb, bleached hillbilly blond had to cheat to beat me," ZumHofe snarls. "One of reasons I'm back in the Magnificent Ladies Wrestling is I want to face that bimbo again. You know what? I'm going to beat her like she's a damned midget."
