There comes a time in all our lives, and I guess for some people it may never come… but the time comes when you’re lying in bed and you’re saying to yourself, “Is this what my life is? Is this where I want to be?” I’d tried to do it the fake way; I’d ran from my own heritage and I may had burned a bridge with the one man who looked out for me, simply because I refused to accept who I was. I tried to do it the real way; my heritage and mission of self-discovery became my life, my job, my passion. But I couldn’t beat a racist dirty haired, dirty footed White girl in the middle of a racist town with all my new found Black pride. So… I wanted to do it my way, but I didn’t know what my way was and I didn’t know who I was. Mom was dead, so I couldn’t ask her, and Dad was gone, and I was too ashamed to look for him. They said it’s never too late to become what you might have been, but I didn’t know what I was to begin with.
How I became a fighter was not the usual route. I had met Kimberly Chaucer one night because she was one of my idols in the news world. Yes; the Japanese 38 million dollar a year interview queen, Kimberly Chaucer with her 5’6” 135 lb body, her long jet black hair, and green eyes, and super sarcastic style, was my idol. I read her book about how she went from being homeless in Osaka to living in a disease stricken sanitarian in Vietnam to being a muay thai fighter in South Korea to being nearly married to a high ranking military official in China, to making tons and tons of money just to talk to people. Kimberly’s real name is Kim Wu, but she went with Kimberly Chaucer after reading Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales” to learn how to speak English. I know she’s got a bad attitude and she’s mean to everyone she interviews, but she gets the answers and she came from nothing. I saw a lot of hope in that.
Kimberly had been doing interviews with OPW superstars as a study of the sport for her second dissertation. They were in Boston and I had to go see her. I waited inside that hotel for the longest time and that’s when people started coming up to me, asking me if I was a one of the wrestlers. I looked around and they started coming out. I didn’t really know who they were; I had limited exposure to that stuff growing up. My Dad loved it; he’d yell at the screen during matches and his favorite wrestler was Siena Blaze, the same woman who owns OPW. I saw Glory sitting with Lady Jasmine; they were in street clothes and signing autographs and Glory was sipping champagne and smoking a cigar. She looked every bit like a 6’2” Rosario Dawson as Jasmine looked like a black haired Angelina Jolie.


Rosario Dawson


Angelina Jolie
There were others, but I recognized those two off the bat. I was surprised at how they had no problem with people coming up to them and talking to them, even when it was clear that they just wanted to enjoy their champagne. Then Christina Munoz, who is Siena’s estranged daughter, a very accomplished mma fighter, and the CEO of OPW came out in all black, looking about as menacing as Michelle Rodriguez, who she bares a resemblance to, except for Christina’s blue eyes.


She was making a beeline for the door and I ran after her; I had to know if Kimberly was at this hotel. I had to meet her.
“Ms. Munoz!! Ms. Munoz!! I’m Porsche Green!” I yelled
“I don’t have time,” she said without even looking back.
“Geez, well fuck you too,” I muttered and she stopped immediately. I don’t curse; I really don’t. In pursuit of perfection, I tried to keep the cursing to a minimum, but everything I’d heard about Christina was that she was a bitch. I felt a chill go down my spine when she turned around and looked at me. My stomach was in my throat and she smiled because she knew I was scared.
“That’s what I thought; don‘t get fucked up out here.” she said and started to turn around
“I just wanted to know if Kimberly Chaucer was coming down,” I said, “I wasn’t trying to offend you. Kimberly is my idol; I just want to meet her.”
Christina looked at me and licked her lips
“That’s a change,” she said, looking at me with some amusement in her face, “I thought you were one of these bitches who comes up to me, either wanting a job or wanting to fuck me for a job.”
“Well, I just quit my job, but if I could get another one, I‘d love to talk to Kimberly about it,” I replied… by then, fans were gathering around; they were taking photos of us talking. I knew I was going to be in a magazine or something, but it felt… exciting. People were looking at our body language and assuming we were going to have a confrontation and I was the mystery wrestler.
“Kimberly’s at another hotel,” she said, “So, I guess you want to get into the business. Well, I’m not a talent scout, but you’ve got the look for it.”
And with that, she got in her black Camero, which I assume was rented, and sped off. I found where Kim was staying and I waited in that lobby; I even fell asleep and she woke me up at the breakfast bar.
“I told Tony to get those eggs sunny fucking side up!!” she was shouting, “You want something done right; you have to do it yourself!”


Kelly Hu, who Kimberly Chaucer looks like
“Oh my God!! Kimberly Chaucer!!! I am your biggest fan!!!”
Okay, I completely marked out for her. She was in a pair of jeans, a blue t-shirt and flip flops with sunglasses so no one could recognize her, but she was soooooo cool.
“I want my eggs sunny side up!” she yelled right in my face, “I want those eggs and I have a headache, so be quick about it.”
“Uhm, I don’t work here, I’m just a fan of yours and--”
“FIX THE FUCKING EGGS!!!!” and that’s how I met my idol of the world of journalism. I went behind the counter and fixed her eggs sunny side up. She took her eggs, and started towards the elevator, but she saw me staring at her and turned around.
“What it is?” she said, “You want an autograph? You want a thank you?”
“No,” I said, “I just wanted to say that I’m a big fan of yours and I admire your work. I worked for a magazine that’s out of Boston and you’re really my inspiration.”
“Here’s some advice for you, girl,” she moved close and lowered her sunglasses, “If you want to make it in this world… don’t ever let anybody know you like them, unless it’s to kiss ass. Women… they’ve got all the tools. Look at you; you could’ve said anything to me, asked me any question, picked my brain for knowledge, whatever. But you just wanted to say hi. Lose the girl next door bullshit. Have a great day. What‘s your name?”
“Porsche Green.”
“I own Bentleys and I have drivers, but you are green. Thanks for the eggs.”
She was sooooo cool. I got some tickets and went to their second show that night and I was hooked. I started to think about whether or not I could be a fighter. I mean; I had been taking self defense classes and everything, but I really wanted to get in the ring and try it. Yet every time I thought about me coming out to music and getting in there with the crowd chanting my name… I just came back down to earth. And then, that urgency, that thing I was talking about earlier, it bit the hell out of me while I was trying to restart my journalist career in Houston, doing a story talking to people who evacuated New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina and decided to stay in Houston. I didn’t go to wrestling school or anything. Didn’t join a fighting camp or anything like that. I just got on the computer and started posting videos of myself cutting promos on other fighters in my bedroom on all the video sharing sites. I had a gold sports bra and some gold shorts and before I knew it, I was getting tons and tons of hits. It was amazing! I would get requests from people asking me to demonstrate my form and I’d throw some punches and kicks. I’d also post videos out of character, just talking about health and staying motivated. But my in ring persona was going to be a cocky bitch, even if I’d never had a match.
When I got to Dallas, I went to a match for one of the smaller promotions, which is the one I’m with now, and one of the wrestlers, a spunky light skinned Black girl who had looked like Nicki Minaj and had that weird gimmick named Diva Divine had seen my videos and was challenging me to a match that night.


“Hey Perfect 10; why don’t you get in the ring with me and I’ll expose your fake ass, BITCH!!”
“I’m just here to enjoy the show. I’m not here to hurt anybody.” Apparently, that set her off. She started jumping up and down and pointing her finger at me while security held her back and taking off her heels. When she got in my face, I figured why not… I pushed her and she went down on her enormous butt. I looked down at her; she was only about 5’4” and she looked up at me embarrassed. I saw doubt in her eyes, but the second she got back up, she started jumping up and down and yelling “Hold me back; hold me back!! Don’t let me take off my earrings!!” and all that other stuff. With all those people around watching us, I decided foolishly to agree to the match. I had never been in a wrestling ring before; I didn’t know anything other than all the wrestling I had watched after going to that show in Boston. Oh, I raided Best Buy for OPW dvds. I raided the internet for info. But lots of luck that was going to do.
One of the interviewers decided to ask me what I planned on doing and I decided to answer with cocky honesty.
“I think I’m just going to go in there and wing it.”
I don’t know what she came out to, but the promotion gave me “She’s A Beauty” by the Tubes as my theme music… I still have it too. It fits my Perfect 10 persona perfectly. Why would I lieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee? The audience cheered me big time; I was shocked. People were on their cell phones calling their friends to come to the event to see me. I took the microphone and stood in the ring.
“Dallas, Texas!!! Perfect 10 is here!! They say everything’s bigger in Texas, bigger buildings, bigger cars, bigger money… and (looking at Diva) bigger bitches!!”
The crowd was eating it up. I was feeling it, even if cutting a promo in front of a crowd was a lot more nerve racking than doing it in front of a webcam.
“Diva, you’re anything but Divine. You’re more like Diva Decline, because I heard your skills are on decline. And with those big hips of yours, you’re looking more like Diva The Swine!!”
I was going to go on about her, but she charged me. I’m actually glad she did it because from that point on, I don’t do too long of a promo. Keep it short and cocky. I stuck my foot out and caught her right in the stomach.
“OUGH!!!!” she was soft in the middle and she doubled over and staggered back. I didn’t know what the hell I was doing, but I bounced off the ropes and came at her with a clothesline. The problem was that I didn’t angle my arm correctly and because she was already doubled over, the arm just grazed her head. Then, instead of turning to bounce off the ropes I was running too, I grabbed them and stopped myself. The second I turned around, she charged in and tackled me through the ropes and to the matted floor.
“Now what, bitch?” she yelled in my face and started trying to punch me, but I got my arms up and wrapped my legs around her body, witch is what I saw a lot of girls do on those dvds I’d watched. I started punching her in her sides and she started groaning and moaning and I forcefully pushed her off of me. But she got to her feet and tried to stomp on me, but I got to my knees and drove a punch right above her bellybutton.
“OUGH!!!” she went up on her toes and her eyes got really wide. This time, I didn’t miss the clothesline. I dropped her flat on her back and the crowd went crazy. I decided to try a move I had seen called a slingshot. I put my feet under hers and grabbed her arms and fell backwards… her body shot over mine and her face and chest hit the steel ring post. I was shocked… it actually worked. She was down and hurt and I was surprised at how easy this was. Maybe I was just lucky. I walked up on her and did some poses and stuff for the fans, but then, this pink powder hit me in the face and I went near the commentator’s table.
“Oh No!! Diva Divine has hit Perfect 10 in the face with her dreaded Diva Dust!! Come on Perfect 10!! You can do it!! Oh oh, here she comes… watch out!! She‘s going to try the Maneater!!”
The Maneater was Diva’s finisher. It’s just a sleeper ddt bomb… yeah, I know; that sounds pretty painful, but the second I felt her on my back and felt the table, I turned so that our backs were to it and I hooked her legs and climbed onto the ring apron. The sleeper was in tight and she was trying to yank me off the apron to slam the back of my head down on the mat… so I gave her what she wanted. I jumped, but I held onto her and we both went crashing through the table… but she took the impact because she was behind me. I heard the fans chanting “PERFECT TEN!!!” I got up and looked down at her. I was still a bit dizzy from the sleeper, but I tossed her into the ring. I decided to try another move. Marie B. does this move where she flips off the top rope and lands in a gymnast Y pose… she calls that move the Perfect 10. I figured, why not steal it? That is my name. So that’s what I did… but I missed and I flipped wrong too because my balance wasn’t set. Diva rolled out of the ring to buy time and she was resting her face and arms on the ring apron, so I decided to steal Kayla’s blow a kiss baseball slide and I connected on that one.
She was down again and I was in control of the match. It was such a rush. I grabbed the top rope and pulled myself over, flipping and landing across her stomach. I had seen Samantha do a move called the Moneymaker with a similar motion except that her crotch lands on her opponent’s head. Since Diva was on the mat outside of the ring and not lying on the apron, I had to continue the flip. But that’s a new move that I keep in my arsenal. I rolled Diva back into the ring, but she surprised me with an elbow right to the pit of my stomach, doubling me over and reminding me of the defeat I’d suffered in Jena. She whipped me across the ring into the corner and charged in behind me, nailing me with a hard knee to the stomach and forcing the air out of me.
“Yeah bitch!” she said, “I like the sound of that!”
She threw a combo to my stomach and I started to cover up and surrender again. I started to think this was my undoing because those body shots don’t just take your air; they take your confidence and hearing yourself groaning and moaning isn’t a good thing either. But I decided to do something very foolish… I clapped my hands together on either side of her head. It worked; she staggered back, but I had left my whole body exposed when I brought my arms back. I gave her a shove and a sidekick to her stomach, grabbed her over the back and around the waist, lifted her up in a gut wrench, then dropped her on her back. I couldn’t believe I just did a gut wrench Powerbomb. The problem was doing it quickly; if I held her in the air too long, I may have dropped her on her neck and broken it. And she had huge hips and a huge butt; that was awkward enough to lift. I bounced off the ropes and jumped, landing my butt right on her gut. But instead of staying there for the pin, I climbed the top turnbuckle and thought about what I was going to do. I decided to try a 450 and I hit it!! 1,2,3!!! I had beaten Diva Divine in my first match and when the ref raised my arm, the crowd was chanting my name.
I haven’t lost a match since, but I’m learning as I go. A lot of the girls like me because I’m the nicest person you can meet outside of the ring. But for the ones who don’t, I keep my Perfect 10 cockiness out there. I’ve had and still have my share of critics who are calling me the “Tim Tebow” of the female fighting world because I’m a great athlete, but I look lost; I have no clue what the hell I’m doing, and I would get killed in the big leagues. Okay, but I’m also undefeated, so how does that work? My first name is Porsche so they say I’m fast and light, but easy to wreck. My last name is Green and I get more jokes about that because of my lack of experience. My initials are PG, so the critics say my matches are PG because they aren’t hardcore, despite me beating hardcore legend Emily “The Grey Goose” Funk in a hardcore match. Well, she is almost 60 years old; I hated to do it, but she did hit me with a chair after one of my matches.
People either love me or hate me, but they come to see me regardless and soon, they’re going to watch me on television. Siena Blaze and I met a few times and she sees potential in me, but she wants me to earn a shot at OPW on the reality show, The Ultimate Catfighter. I went ahead and agreed to do it. And one more thing. I’m comfortable with who I am now, or at least, I think I am. Maybe obligation will pull me back into soul searching, and maybe Perfect 10 is a way for me to be someone else and not face the enigma of my life. Dr. Martin Luther King wanted Blacks and Whites to integrate, and I’m the result of that, so is President Obama and a lot of other people, known and unknown. I really am beginning to see the beauty in being a living symbol of unity and I carry it with me wherever I go. Make sure you root for me on Ultimate Catfighter; I’m going to try my best to win!
THE END?
