No Punches Pulled with Lil' Mouse

[Robert Lotti]

Welcome to another edition of the No Punches Pulled interview series. In this one, it is a member of The Mischief Lil' Mouse.

RL: Were you a wrestling fan growing up?
LM: Yes. I loved watching wrestling when I was a kid. I used to stay up way past my bedtime watching wrestling with my Dad.

RL: How did you discover NYWC?
LM: I discovered NYWC when I was 12. Some family friends had some extra tickets and my Dad and I took advantage of it for some quality time together. After that first show it became our monthly father-child night. I always looked forward to it.

RL: When did you decide you were going to give wrestling a shot?
LM: I had always wanted to be a wrestler but I never thought I could do it because I didn't know about independent wrestling. I just didn't think WWE would ever pick me. But once I met everyone at NYWC I just knew this is where I'm meant to be.

RL: What were your initial impressions of Mikey Whipwreck?
LM: When I first met Whipwreck I was just a fan so I was pretty nervous, but after awhile I started to see him as a real fun guy.

RL: How hard was training?
LM: Training was a lot at first. I struggled so much and there were times I wanted to give up. But they wouldn't let me and soon enough I just kept getting up. Nothing was keeping me down.

RL: How tough was it learning the ins and outs of refereeing?
LM: I actually picked up on refereeing pretty quick. Sometimes I just needed to hit the mat harder.

RL: How did you come up with the name Ruby "The Firecracker" Richards?
LM: Ruby "The Firecracker" Richards was basicly just me but letting all of my energy run wild. As for the name, my friends gave me the nickname Ruby long nefore I started wrestling. The Firecracker and Richards just kind of came naturally.

RL: What are your memories of Rick Cataldo's A Matter Of Pride shows?
LM: The Matter Of Pride shows were so much fun for me because I was surrounded by other LGBT wrestlers. It's fun wrestling but wrestling with more people like me just fills me with positive energy.

RL: What are your memories of Michael Mistretta?
LM: Mistretta is an interesting man to be around, I think he's ... cool. I'll admit that there really is Nobody Betta.

RL: What are your memories of Jordan Reddington?
LM: Reddington is fun to mess with. I enjoy joking with him. But he is also very talented.

RL: How did you end up in The Mischief?
LM: I was placed in The Mischief because I looked like Mouse and Big Mouse and had the right energy.

RL: What are your memories of Mouse?
LM: Mouse is a wonderful leader for The Mischief. Definitely the brains of the group.

RL: What are your memories of Big Mouse?
LM: Big Mouse can be scary to small children, but is very nice. He is also protective of Mouse and Lil' Mouse.

RL: What are your memories of Seth & Micah Cortez?
LM: Double Trouble.

RL: What are your memories of James Rammison?
LM: So many chokeslams, so much whiplash. Such a long fall from 15 feet in the air.

RL: What are your memories of Iri$h?
LM: The first person to really help me during training.

RL: What are your memories of being in the starlet battle royal in late 2019?
LM: So much fun seeing Marti Belle after so many years and being able to share the ring with both her and my little wrestling sister Punky Bruiser.

RL: What are your memories of Johnny Radke?
LM: Radke is 100% someone to hang with whenever.

RL: What are your memories of Rad Brad & CJ Benson?
LM: I love The Bensons, they never fail to make me laugh.

RL: What are your memories of teaming with Boo Sullivan against Team Espana & Corine Mink?
LM: I will never forget biting Corine in the butt.
