I first saw Crystal White on the Chicago wrestling scene more than a decade ago. She was one of the first women wrestlers I saw live in action.
Then a bit later, she wrestled for Resistance Pro Wrestling. It was there that I had a rare interview flub. I had the pleasure of interviewing Crystal after her match, but the audio failed and the interview was no good. It is one of three such interview failures, which is a pretty good success percentage, but I still am bothered by those three.
Crystal seems to be wrestling more of late and that is a good thing. She is entertaining in and out of the ring.
A Chicago gal, Crystal says she has wrestled for 20 years, but I don't see how that is possible. She doesn't look nearly old enough, unless she started at 10.
Crystal is awesome to fans, too, as the story behind this picture illustrates. At GLCW's Blizzard Brawl, Crystal was at the meet and greet, but behind a table, seemingly trapped by neighboring wrestlers on both sides. When I approached her for a picture, she graciously immediately crawled under the table to get to my side to take the picture. Now that is dedication to her fans.
With 2025 starting, one of my interview goals is to finally get Crystal again. Then I can let go of the previous mishap. I am putting it out to the universe for it to happen.
