We will be talking with some of the biggest names in the company, some veterans, and some new faces. With the return of CZW, this is your chance to get to know everyone more in-depth and really get a feel for where things are headed in the combat zone. The first in this series is an interview with <strong>Ruthless Lala<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Women&#8217;s wrestling has seen a significant evolution, especially in the independent scene where women&#8217;s matches are often regarded as highly as that of their male counterparts. These women train just as hard as the men and work tirelessly to hone their craft in the gym, in the ring, and out of the ring. Independent wrestling, in particular, has an approach to women&#8217;s wrestling that really puts these talented performers at the forefront. Many promotions promote their female roster in great stories and awesome matches and oftentimes, even include intergender matches which give female wrestlers the chance to lock up with the boys and showcase their talents. Female wrestlers are accomplished athletes and in many cases can stand toe to toe with any male on a respective roster. One such individual is Ruthless Lala, who took some time to speak with LWOS Pro Wrestling about her career, her goals in wrestling, and some of her favorite moments.<\/p>\n<h2>CZW Spotlight with Ruthless Lala<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/Ccwvbqvgyoo\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/Ccwvbqvgyoo\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A post shared by Mz.

December 28th will be 20 years that I have been in this wrestling business.\u00a0 Honestly, I stumbled upon it when I was turning through the channels, being up when I was supposed to be asleep.\u00a0 After I saw it the first time, I literally got hooked and honestly, the rest was history from there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KD: Where have you worked in your career?<\/strong><br \/>\nRL: I worked a lot of promotions. I pretty much worked everywhere; Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Kansas, Indiana, New York, New Jersey, and Maryland just to name a few.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KD: What has been the biggest accomplishment of your career to this point?<\/strong><br \/>\nRuthless Lala: My biggest accomplishment is honestly, being gone for about a year and a half and not promised to even be alive let alone returning to wrestling, and on March 19th of this year I returned and I have been on a return tour full speed ahead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KD: What brings you back to CZW?<\/strong><br \/>\nRL: CZW is my home since I became a part of the WSU roster. Su Yung and myself are still the current WSU World Tag Team Champions. CZW has always shown me love and respect and I&#8217;m going to give that same back you know?<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cHit me like you mean it.\u201d<br \/>.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RuthlessLaLa?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@RuthlessLaLa<\/a> vs <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EranAshe1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@EranAshe1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>AUG 7TH &#8211; Limelight 8 &#8211; 325 St John St, Havre de Grace, MD<br \/>TIX &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mFkWBQFdTm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/mFkWBQFdTm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>AUG 20TH &#8211; CZW RETURNS TO PHILADELPHIA<br \/>CZW Live! at The Oval &#8211; 2451 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia, PA<br \/>FREE, OUTDOOR EVENT <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xQGGjO0pyL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/xQGGjO0pyL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; CZW: Combat Zone Wrestling (@combatzone) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/combatzone\/status\/1552358455385772032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July 27, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>KD: You have proven in the past that you have no issue stepping up to any male wrestlers who cross your path.\u00a0 You recently stepped in the ring with CZW powerhouse Eran Ashe. What are your thoughts on this match and what can you tell us about it?<\/strong><br \/>\nRuthless Lala: I had a blast wrestling Eran.\u00a0 There is no animosity, there is no bad blood.\u00a0 We got in there, we beat the s**t out of each other.\u00a0 It is what it is.\u00a0 You know, I&#8217;ll gladly whoop his a** again.\u00a0 It doesn&#8217;t matter, win or lose, he got his a** whooped and it is what it is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KD: Speaking of issues with male wrestlers, it is no secret you have had some interesting back-and-forth interactions with long-time friend Isaiah Wolf.\u00a0 While much of it has happened outside of a CZW ring, you are both a major part of the CZW roster.\u00a0 What started the heat between you two and where is it headed?<\/strong><br \/>\nRL: So, Isaiah Wolf is my A1 Day 1. He is my best friend. Legit, I have known him for his whole wrestling career.\u00a0 He has had my back inside and outside the ring. He was one of the people that kind of kept my sanity when I was out of wrestling for a year and a half. When I returned to wrestling, all I wanted was a match because I knew if anyone was going to push me to my limits it was going to be Isaiah. I asked for the match and instead of him just agreeing, there was &#8220;you don&#8217;t want this, you better ask all the others what I did to them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It was just a lot of disrespect, you know what I mean? So I was like fine, I&#8217;ll do a promo and we&#8217;ll see what happens. I did a promo, he didn&#8217;t like it and we ended up getting into it to the point where I wanted my match and he still didn&#8217;t want to give it to me. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CeAtth1gt2_\/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY%3D&amp;fbclid=IwAR0vbmfiVNtkD_A_U_qxRIX6ZmaLlxqamoR_PCdTJfzM-6VpJb55eYnyR7g\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">So I just started showing up wherever he was booked<\/a> because 9 times out of 10 I was booked at the same place. I tried to have a normal conversation. He said my government name and I said I was going to slap the s**t out of him and I did. I didn&#8217;t try to get my nephews involved or put them in the middle, but s**t kinda happened. We are going to resolve this with a best out of five series. First match is July 30th at BCW Ridgefield Park New Jersey, and after this, I&#8217;m gonna be good&#8230;.maybe. It&#8217;s just a big family matter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KD: Now that you are back, what are some of the matches you would really like to have?<\/strong><br \/>\nRuthless Lala: I want to wrestle Desean Pratt of CMD. That&#8217;s also the bro, that&#8217;s the fam and I want to whoop his a**. Hell, I want all the smoke, so I can&#8217;t even really narrow it down. I do know I&#8217;m going to punch Desean in the face&#8230;.soon&#8230;.respectfully.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KD: On a lighter note, you are an anime fan.\u00a0 What is your favorite?<\/strong><br \/>\nRL: I have a plethora. I love Jujutsu Kaisen, Dragon Ball Z of course, Trigun, Record of Ragnarok, Baki, Demon Slayer is really my s**t. I&#8217;m overly excited about that. I could keep going on and on because I watch a lot of anime, but that would be a few.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KD: What other things are you into when you aren&#8217;t beating people up?<\/strong><br \/>\nRuthless Lala: I play video games and I stream and I more than likely scream like a little b***h. I also talk a lot of s**t. I&#8217;ll either be on Twitch or TikTok just hanging out.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to thank Ruthless Lala for taking the time to talk to me and for the opportunity to introduce her to the LWOS Pro Wrestling readers.
