Raquel Diaz recalled working with Norman Smiley, who knew her parents from the time when her father, Eddie Guerrero, was still working his way up in the Mexican wrestling scene. 

"I really loved working with Norman, he's just an infinite, like, well of knowledge. And also, like Joey Mercury, huge father figure for me, and also just like, god, like a mental wizard and just brilliant at what he does."

Diaz explained how the experience helped her through the mental wear and tear of wrestling. She then stated how wrestling made her feel closer to her father. "Wrestling is dad and dad died so young for me, and so getting to be with so many coaches that loved dad, and got to have dad longer than even I did? It was very healing for me in a lot of ways."

Additionally, she explained that Bruce Prichard also helped her in her training, as did Dusty Rhodes. "That man? He really taught me all the good s**t about doing a promo and he truly changed my life and really made me believe that I could be a star in my life." 

Diaz admitted that she might not have become a star in wrestling, but she did many cool things in wrestling that transcended all the avenues of her life in performance.
