In the world of intense athleticism and fierce competition, camaraderie and genuine friendships can sometimes be overlooked. However, for those fortunate enough to have known Tammy McDermid, better known by her alter ego, #KraytinKaos, the wrestling ring was not just a battleground but also a place where lasting connections were forged. On that unforgettable night, she transformed into “Kraytin Scissorhands” – a moniker that became synonymous with her sharp skills and witty charm, even in the most unexpected places, like a gentlemen’s club.
Tammy and I shared a bond that went beyond the confines of the wrestling ring. “Fight hard – Love harder” was more than just a motto; it encapsulated the essence of our friendship.
We understood that in the world of high-stakes competition, love and support were the cornerstones that kept us grounded. Tammy lived by this creed both inside and outside the ring. Our friendship was marked by daily conversations that transcended the ordinary.
Tammy’s infectious laughter and vibrant spirit left an indelible mark on my soul. From discussing the intricacies of our craft to sharing personal anecdotes, our bond deepened with each passing day.
One such unforgettable moment was when Tammy, in a fit of passion, landed a punch square on my face during a practice session. In a moment of humor and camaraderie, I nonchalantly put my hands in my pockets, looked her in the eye, and declared, “I love you.” We both erupted into laughter, a testament to the unique bond we shared.
Tammy McDermid was not just a colleague or a fellow athlete; she was a confidante and a pillar of strength. Nobody had my back, my front, or walked by my side quite like Tammy. Her unwavering support was akin to having a guardian angel with a baseball bat, ready to face any challenge head-on. Tammy had a unique way of speaking her mind, always addressing me straight-up with the honesty and transparency that defined our friendship.
In the world of professional wrestling, where theatrics and competition often take center stage, it’s the genuine connections that stand the test of time. Tammy McDermid, or #KraytinKaos, will be forever remembered not only for her prowess in the ring but also for the indomitable spirit and camaraderie she brought into the lives of those around her.
As we bid farewell to “Kraytin Scissorhands,” we celebrate the profound impact she had on our lives and cherish the memories of a friendship forged in the crucible of the wrestling world.
