The following was transcribed by Victoria Lee of wrestlingweekly.com:

Unfortunately, Doc and Les weren't able to get a hold of "The Wildcat" Chris Harris, but the show must go on! TNA's newest Knockout, Christy Hemme, was this week's featured guest, and she had plenty to say. The always-energetic red head was excited from the get-go, and even came up with a new nickname for Doc: "Doccy."

Christy didn't exactly crash full-force into TNA. They want to take things slow with her, and see where she fits into the product. She's still plenty busy, though, doing shows and interviews and squeezing in some training in Santa Monica whenever she gets the chance.

From the chat room, "Heel2006" asked if Christy has trained with any TNA wrestlers yet. Christy said she hasn't had the chance.

Now, what was that whole deal with Trimspa? Christy admitted that she used the natural pill they offered - no ephedrine, though. When it comes to health supplements, Christy is all-natural. Christy stressed the importance of a good diet and exercise plan, and said that it's more important than any pill. Christy exercises four times a week, and sticks to a strict diet 5-6 days a week, with one or two "cheat days" to eat whatever she wants. Hey, a girl's gotta have her fun. Christy loves to do her own cooking, even when she's on the road.

"DWKing" asked Christy whether she left WWE, or WWE fired her. Christy said that there were a lot of rumors, but most of them were false. It was WWE who fired Christy. She doesn't mind, though. Christy feels that she wasn't supposed to be in WWE - that TNA is where she belongs. Christy said that she always gives 110%, and she always did in WWE. She said that because of how much effort she put into WWE, leaving the way she did soured her toward wrestling; but TNA brought her passion back instantly.

Christy got her start by winning the WWE 2004 Diva Search. So, why did she decide to try out in the first place? Christy had been modeling for four years, and was bored with it. She wanted more - she wanted to wrestle. She added that she "can't sit on the sidelines."

Heel2006 asked Christy if the female wrestlers who had worked their way up to WWE from the indies had given Christy a hard time backstage, for supposedly taking the "easy" way to success. Christy admitted whole-heartedly that the Diva Search was the easy way. She admires and respects others who take the hard way.

Was there any real animosity between Christy and Diva Search runner-up Carmella? None at all. Christy had fun watching the other contestants "duke it out," but she and Carmella were friendly with each other. Christy is glad she was the one who won the Diva Search, though - she had more to offer WWE than Carmella did. "Doccy" admitted that he voted for Christy.

While there was no animosity between Christy and Carmella, there was plenty to go around between the other contestants of season 1. The contestants of season 2, however, were surprisingly friendly with each other.

Christy was heavily involved with season 2 of the Diva Search, and knows for a fact that the contest is legit.

Christy was asked about The Coach, who she had several opportunities to beat up during her time in WWE. Christy hesitated to answer, but said that Coach "has a personality," and that his personality shines through on TV.

"Darkblade" asked Christy about her appearance at the last E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo.) Christy has actually been doing E3 for many years, and she's always loved it.

Christy was asked whether or not the Seattle Slugfest was originally intended to be a boxing match. Christy said that it was, but they changed it last-minute because they weren't sure what Christy would do in that setting. She can be a real spitfire when she's got enough adrenaline going. It's funny, but true.

"TNA4Life" asked Christy for her thoughts on John Cena. She said that he's "entertaining," but she's not a rap fan.

A big controversy in wrestling these days is fans who open up Myspace accounts pretending to be wrestlers. Christy gave her thoughts on people who pretend to be her on Myspace. She said that she'd rather they didn't do that, but it's no big deal. She thinks it's kind of funny. She put up a message on her website saying that she doesn't have a Myspace account.

Christy said she loves doing the Global iMPACT! tapings. It helps her to learn even more about the TNA product and the inside information on TNA.

Christy said that, of the TNA Knockouts, she'd most like to work a match with Gail Kim. Gail "needs to be put in her place," but Christy respects her as a wrestler.

Christy was asked for her thoughts on SHIMMER wrestling, but she wasn't familiar with the product. Doc and Les described the focus SHIMMER puts on women wrestling, rather than the T&A WWE focuses on, which piqued Christy's interest, Christy said she's all for the bikinis and that's fun, but the wrestling is "the real deal."

Christy said that Lita did, in fact, give her some help in the ring before at WrestleMania match with Trish Stratus, but most of her training was with Fit Finlay (Now SmackDown Superstar Finlay.) She didn't train at all with Trish.

Christy cleared up the rumors that Randy Orton defecated in her bag and called her a dirty name. It was lotion he put in the bag, and it was somebody else he did it to - not her.

Christy said that the highlight of her career was when she delivered the Doomsday Device on Melina in the six-person tag match against MNM, when she teamed with Heidenreich and Road Warrior Animal.

Christy was asked if Vince McMahon ever hit on her. She said she didn't think so, but she never paid attention to that kind of thing.

"Ultra Violence" asked if Christy has been ribbed yet. While she's seen many and been a part of many, she has somehow managed to avoid being the target of one. She added that she hopes none of the boys in the back were listening to the radio show, 'cause she was sure to get ribbed if they heard that.

The interview ended with a plug of TNA's next PPV, Slammiversary, on June 18th.
