00:00 Opening
01:13 Marti Belle (Martibel Payano), a native of New York City, fell in love with wrestling at the age of seven. Her grandmother introduced her to the world of wrestling when she moved to New York from the Dominican Republic. Language was no barrier for Martibel, as she quickly grasped the intricacies of the game, both the good and the bad.

I'm so confused. Didn't Trish Stratus and Lita have a main event match on WWE decades ago? I remember watching that match as a kid, and I still rewatch it to this day.
