Episode 38: ODB - Part 1

Wrestling is Life is Wrestling with Cody Deaner

ODB is an originator. During a time when women in the professional wrestling industry were expected to be stereotypical blonde “Barbie” look-a-likes who’s in-ring talent was secondary to how they looked in a swimsuit… ODB drank from a flask, kicked ass in the ring, and told the world she was ONE DIRTY BITCH!

As a member of the ORIGINAL “Women’s Revolution” in TNA Wrestling, ODB was a part of a special roster of TNA Knockouts that broke ratings records for the brand each and every week. She started her career by trying to make a name for herself on the original season of WWF “Tough Enough” and went on to train with Eddie Sharkey in Minnesota (a man responsible for helping kickstart the careers of The Road Warriors, Jesse Ventura, Rick Rude, Bob Backlund, Jerry Lynn, Rick Steiner and countless other wrestling legends).

Cody and ODB have been friends for over 15 years. Their friendship started when they began working together in TNA Wrestling when Cody Deaner was first brought into the company. In Part 1 of this 2-part conversation, they discuss ODB’s journey in the wild world of pro wrestling and all the lessons she’s learned along the way.
