It was a regular happening during the show’s early times, when there was no way that Pedicino or Blackstone made it clear whether the event was recorded or live and viewers would frequently be refused entry by security.
After taking a short break from wrestling, Blackstone sent an audition tape to World Championship Wrestling, and when nothing came of it, she tried her luck with the World Wrestling Federation. In March 1993, she was flown in for an audition and later met with Vince McMahon. Soon after, she was brought to the WWF as an interviewer and began appearing on WWF Superstars, WWF All-American Wrestling and the WWF Wrestling Challenge for several months.
